Chapter 195
I came to the end of the corridor in the direction that Ayuan pointed, opened the door, and saw the stairs leading to the basement.
It was pitch black down there, and there was no end in sight.
Lin Zipei pulled at Xi Siling's sleeve, "Hiss—40, no wonder aunt is afraid of the dark, I feel scared too."
Xi Siling didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She reached out her hand and felt around on the wall, then turned on the light.
An ordinary wooden staircase appeared before my eyes, and the end was just a corner, nothing special about it.
It turns out that the light can be turned on. Lin Zhipei scratched his head, "Hey, I scared myself."
Xi Siling patted the child on the shoulder and said, "Follow me, Pepe."
The child was not humble at all and followed Xi Siling, peeking from behind.
“This wooden staircase looks really old.”
Lin Zhipei exclaimed.
"This should be the base that 77 mentioned when Xiguang was established. Of course, it is quite old."
All in all, it was built more than 60 years ago. It can be seen that good materials were selected at that time, so it has survived to this day. It just looks a little old.
Lin Zhipei exclaimed "Wow", it was amazing to think that Ju Mang and other members of Xiguang had lived here many years ago.
Perhaps Ju Mang had also walked the same path they had walked, with absolute conviction to accomplish something.
It feels like a time and space dislocation!
Xi Siling and Lin Zhipei had the same idea, but now was not the time to think about it.
Finally, after turning the corner, I saw the end, which was still a wooden door.
Although the light was very bright, Lin Zhipei felt inexplicably terrified.
“It feels so weird…”
This was an intuition, a premonition of impending danger, but Lin Zipei didn't know how to say it and subconsciously refuted her own intuition.
Xi Siling certainly knew what the consequences would be if he went in.
——
"Is 77 on his way here?"
"Yes, 40, do you really believe in Liuhuaqi? If you go in, there will be no way out."
The system reminded that although it has always trusted Xi Siling's judgment, in the world of 0 and 1, the data determined that Xi Siling had chosen the most dangerous way of dealing with the situation.
Liuhua Zhuju and Ayuan are both cruel and ruthless people. They are cold and merciless to everything that does not concern them.
He could even do that to his own son, let alone Xi Siling and Lin Zipei.
"I know." Xi Siling responded to the system's concerns, "But I believe in 77."
In this world, he is probably the only one who truly understands Liuhuaqi. If even he cannot trust 77, then 77 has no one else he can trust.
Just like what he said to 77 at the beginning.
Trust is the basis for Xi Siling and 77 to become close friends.
"You two are truly destined to be best friends. I am crying my eyes out."
"?"
"Ah, I was posting on the forum, sorry, I forgot to mute myself."
The system replied calmly. As the only one among the forum users who had the right to watch the show in real time, he just wanted to tell the whole world about the beauty of 74 friendship.
Xi Siling laughed out loud, and all the tension in her heart disappeared.
After ending the communication with the system and returning to reality, Xi Siling's hand was already on the door handle.
With a click, the door slowly opened. Although the basement was supposed to be unventilated, a cold wind blew out inexplicably.
Lin Zhipei shuddered, "What..."
The door opened, and a dark red light emanated from the basement, but the brightness was so low that nothing could be seen clearly.
Xi Siling watched calmly, but Lin Zipei was already a little scared.
“Are we really on the right track?”
Before Xi Siling could answer, a huge force pushed them in. Lin Zipei stood behind Xi Siling, with no other support. She subconsciously wanted to call on the plants for help, but found that the flow of her special abilities had stagnated.
how so!
Xi Siling was well prepared, so he put a cushion underneath to prevent Lin Zhipei's chin from hitting the ground.
"Pepe, are you okay?"
"I'm fine!"
Before the two of them could recover, the door of the basement was closed and the only light disappeared. Only the strange existence in the center, emitting a strange red light, remained.
"40! Are you still there? Are you still there!"
Lin Zipei shouted in horror, and only breathed a sigh of relief after he grabbed Xi Siling's wrist.
When he was a child, if he was disobedient, Hua Hegu would punish him in various ways.
Being locked up in a small dark room is one of them, so until now, Lin Zhipei is still afraid of the dark.
Especially in this pitch-dark darkness.
Lin Zipei had never told anyone about these things, and there had never been an environment like this for him to show them off, so even Xi Siling was hearing about them for the first time.
"Pepe, are you afraid of the dark?"
"Um! Um...I'm sorry..."
Lin Zipei closed his eyes tightly. The touch in his hand reminded him that Xi Siling was by his side, which made him feel more at ease.
Xi Siling of course thought of that damn bastard. Even though his wrist was a little painful from being grabbed, he just endured it and kept patting Lin Zipei's shoulder with his other hand.
"Don't apologize, I'm here, Pepe, don't be afraid."
If Xi Siling had known that Lin Zipei was afraid of the dark, he would have sent him away and taken the risk alone.
The symptoms of panic attack finally eased. Lin Zhipei had always been afraid of being in such a quiet and dark environment where she could only hear the sounds of her own breathing and heartbeat.
But this time, there were others, 40 was still by his side, he was not alone.
This feeling made him almost cry.
"Hmm...what happened..."
As super S-level psychics, there are very few people who can get so close to them and push them in without them noticing.
Lin Zhipei judged that it was most likely done by someone who was able to conceal his or her aura.
"I don't know either. Can you still use your super powers? Pepe, the flow of my super powers has been prohibited."
Xi Siling started to analyze the current situation only after seeing Lin Chipei calm down.
"Me too, it feels like there's a device here that prohibits supernatural powers."
Similar devices are expressly prohibited, but of course it is fine to use them privately as long as you are not discovered.
In addition, Lin Zhipei's uncle happened to be a member of the privileged class, and these things were often used to control him and prevent his superpowers from going out of control, so Lin Zhipei could easily judge.
This also shows that this was a trap that was prepared long ago.
"...Could it be...Ryuka family? It definitely isn't 77! Why would the Ryuka family attack us?"
Even now, Lin Zhipei did not doubt Liuhuaqi. He remembered the reminders from the plants and his own intuition.
Really, why didn't he believe it! It put 40 and himself in crisis.
Xi Siling nodded. Under the dim red light, Pepe, who had adapted to the darkness, could barely see.
"Yes, it won't be 77. We have to get out first."
After receiving affirmation from her good friend, Lin Zhipei felt relieved.
The two men fumbled to their feet, walked to the wooden door of the basement, and tried to open it, but failed.
"Let me see if I can knock it open!"
Even if he can't use his super powers, after so many years of training, his physical strength is incomparable to that of ordinary people.
Although I think the other party should be able to think of it, I still have to try.
"good."
As a result, when Xi Siling was about to let go, Lin Zipei nervously grabbed her again, "I...I..."
He was afraid that if he let go, he would be alone here.
Just because you've recovered doesn't mean you're no longer afraid.
"I'm right here, Pepe, don't worry."
Xi Siling was quite patient and took care of Lin Zipei's emotions.
"Um!"
Lin Zhipei then encouraged herself and let go.
After hitting it repeatedly several times, the wooden door didn't show any signs of loosening.
It looks like it has been specially reinforced, probably the work of a person with special abilities.
"Uh uh uh, that's too abominable!" Lin Zipei rubbed her aching shoulder, still unable to understand why the Liuhua family did this.
What do they get by sacrificing them?
Xi Siling also guessed that they couldn't open this door, "Pepe, take a rest first, I'll go see what's in the middle."
"Don't! I mean... let's go together!"
It was obviously something dangerous, but if they didn't go and see it, would they just sit there and do nothing? It would be a waste of time.
Lin Zipei held Xi Siling's sleeve and followed him towards the only place where there was light.
When I got closer, I could barely see all kinds of strange symbols drawn on the ground, like some kind of formation.
"Ah, 40, I forgot to tell you that before entering this room, wasn't I... a little excited? That's because the plants outside reminded me that there seemed to be something bad happening here, like a sacrifice."
In the end, even after being reminded in this way, he still fell for it. Lin Zhipei was very frustrated.
"sorry..."
Xi Siling shook Lin Zipei's hand that was holding his sleeve, "Don't blame you, Peipei, who could have thought of such a thing?"
They will never doubt their companions who have been through thick and thin with them, so they will also trust their best friend's family.
But who could have thought that Liuhuaqi's parents would be such hateful bastards.
"Well... I don't know whether 77 is a good person or not... They won't attack 77, right?" Lin Zhipei was already in trouble herself, but she was still concerned about Liuhuaqi's safety.
"I don't know, so we have to get out of here as soon as possible."
The two finally saw the source of the red light. To be precise, the glowing object was not actually red.
In the small black box, a black pearl earring exudes a strange smell, and it is stained with bright red. If you smell it carefully, you can smell the fishy smell of blood.
The blood has left the human body but has remained bright red, as if it is maintaining the earrings.
"What is this? This feels so...uncomfortable."
Lin Zhipei began to have wild thoughts unconsciously; the scent emitted by the earrings was affecting his rationality.
Xi Siling also had the same feeling. This was an existence that came from [despair] and was a token of [God] that the Liuhua family was determined to awaken at all costs.
Even getting close was so bad... What kind of feeling did Liuhuaqi, who was being hosted by Yigong, have at that time?
Xi Siling pulled Lin Zhipei back, "I don't know what it is, but it gives me a bad feeling."
Despair, these two simple words contain all the pain in the world.
77......
At that time, how did Liuhuaqi, who was immersed in despair, survive?
Maybe surviving in that situation is the most painful thing...
