Su Mingan no longer observed the outside world. He kicked open the doors of the rooms on the third floor one by one.
He kicked the door all the way and finally found a room that seemed to have life in it.
There was a bed, sheets, decorations and potted plants inside, and it seemed that someone had lived there.
...This should be Feng Qiqi’s sister’s room, but there is no one inside.
After searching, he found a piece of parchment with a system prompt.
…
[Get clue 2: Parchment]
[(Parchment): Parchment filled with ancient fantasy text from the sky, it seems to contain important information. ]
…
Su Mingan put it away. Ancient fantasy text is a kind of profound language of the firmament, and few people can write it, but Siber seems to understand a little bit.
He was about to look again to see if there was anything when he suddenly heard footsteps.
He immediately opened the cabinet next to him and went in. The people who came might be the elders, among whom the great elder Feng Le was no less powerful than Elder Feng. He would wait and see their movements before deciding whether to confront them head on.
As soon as he entered the closet, he felt something soft under his feet.
"...You." A slight cry of pain was heard, and the voice was a little angry.
Only then did Su Ming'an realize that there was an ally under his feet. He guessed that this person had been rummaging around in the house before, and when he heard his footsteps, he hid in the closet.
He ignored the man and just looked out through the gap in the cabinet. He saw the owner of the footsteps slowly walk into the room.
It was a harmless-looking little girl.
She had smooth black hair and big, clear eyes like water. She looked no older than twelve years old. She was wearing pajamas with a stuffed bear. When she walked, the rabbit slippers on her feet made a slight clicking sound.
She walked to the table and stuffed some small items, such as hairpins, bracelets, photo frames, etc. into a wooden box, then gently closed the box.
Her movements were light and slow, as if she was saying goodbye to something.
...This should be Feng Qiqi’s sister.
Su Mingan and his fellow ally were still squeezed in a cabinet, their eyes glued to the crack of the cabinet door.
Su Ming'an still had nowhere to stand, and he didn't dare to move or make any sound. It was also hard for the old man below him to bear his weight, and he followed in Mo Yan's footsteps.
At this moment, the girl took the initiative to approach the cabinet door.
"...I'm leaving." The girl said to the gap in the cabinet door.
Su Mingan was slightly stunned.
A voice came from below him:
"good."
"...You are not allowed to cry." said the girl.
"Okay." said the people below.
"...After I'm gone, you should live freely in this world without carrying such a heavy burden. You are the most special and unique." said the girl.
"..." The silence lasted for a while, and then someone answered softly: "I know."
The girl smiled.
There were footsteps outside the door again.
This time the sound was fast and heavy, no longer as gentle as the girl's footsteps. It was a large group of people who came with obvious ill intentions.
"Bang!" The door was pushed open.
The elders blocked the door.
The leader was the great elder Feng Le. He stared at the girl with his hawk-like eyes, and his gaze seemed to grab her slender figure and refused to let go.
"The First Tribe is on fire." The Great Elder stared at her. "Now is the natural disaster period of fire, and the flames will be aggravated by the environment. Even the tribe members who control the water flow were unable to stop the spread of the fire in time."
The girl looked at him quietly, holding the wooden box in her arms, without saying a word.
"…Master Baishen is angry and has sent down fire from the sky." The Great Elder said loudly: "We failed to capture your brother. Now, it is time for you to make a contribution to the tribe."
"What can I do?" the girl said, "I'm just a child."
"No, you are very useful." The elder stood at the door, blocking the girl's escape route:
"Due to the spread of the fire, we will hold a ceremony to offer sacrifices to the gods in advance. You... pack your things and go with us to the crater in the back mountain."
Several elders beside him showed expressions of pity, and the third elder Guangli even turned her back. She could not accept this behavior.
But before the succession ceremony, offering the child with the best potential to the gods is a tradition since ancient times. Moreover, now the tribe has suddenly broken out in a fire that has been unable to be suppressed, which means that Lord Baishen is angry about the escape of the two siblings, and they must perform the ceremony as soon as possible.
...Throwing her into the magma would be the best way to appease the gods.
"Let's go." The girl did not refute anything. When she saw the tribe suddenly burst into flames, she had already anticipated the current situation and packed her things in advance.
She started to leave, holding the wooden box filled with various hairpins, bracelets and other cheap little things.
From beginning to end, she did not cast a glance towards the closet, not revealing that there was someone else in the closet.
Under the torches of the people, her shadow was dragged out long, and her steps were still light. Su Mingan could see the pair of plush rabbit ears attached to her shoes, swaying in the flames.
It looks so cute.
…
After people left, the person Su Ming'an was stepping on pushed open the cabinet door, fell to the ground as if he had lost all his strength, with a dull look in his eyes.
The watch lit up, dispelling the darkness, and Su Mingan realized that this was a child, not a player.
"Are you her friend?" Su Mingan asked.
The child put down his hands, revealing a face covered with horrific scars and a pair of bright red eyes.
He looked at Su Mingan with some caution.
