Chapter 20 of 020
Xia Meng got the hang of it quickly and understood it immediately.
After a few minutes, she could clearly see everything Ergou saw through his eyes.
The big golden cat in its field of vision was seen moving flexibly between obstacles of varying heights, skillfully and accurately avoiding the people coming and going nearby.
Er Gouzi was behind it. He couldn't jump as fast as the cat, and he couldn't run as fast as the cat. He had a hard time keeping up with his short legs.
Xia Meng silently lit a candle for it.
Thank you for your hard work! Ergou!
The organization will remember your contribution!
Xia Meng turned her attention away from Ergou.
The performance downstairs was already halfway through.
Ou Xu on the stage changed into a black swan dress.
At this time, he is the black swan Odilea, the daughter of the devil.
Xia Meng held her chin and watched.
Putting aside Ou Xu's smile which was uglier than crying, his performance was actually pretty good.
Even Xia Meng, who doesn't know ballet, can see that his body posture is particularly relaxed.
Every movement is precise and powerful, and the dance is so beautiful that it is hard to look away.
This is very similar to the impression she had of Huo Qingyu.
On stage and in front of the camera, Huo Qingyu is always like this.
Countless people praised him as a natural dancer and an elf born for the stage.
Why would he have such a strange mental picture?
Xia Meng murmured: "...Where is Huo Qingyu's door?"
Beside her, Li Zhou was leaning on the railing, his chin resting on his arms, watching the performance.
Hearing this, he turned his head and asked, "Which door are you talking about?"
Xia Meng: “?”
She looked at him puzzledly: "What do you mean?"
Li Zhou tilted his head and thought for a moment before saying, "I just feel like you're not looking for the door to the spiritual image."
Xia Meng paused.
She stared at Li Zhou for a long while, and suddenly, she came to her senses.
Yes, she seemed to subconsciously follow her previous habit and look for the door belonging to the mental patient.
"But it doesn't matter." Li Zhou smiled, looking at her with clear eyes. "To you, there's probably no difference between these two 'doors'."
Xia Meng looked at him in a daze.
She slowly chewed over his words in her mind.
Is there no difference?
Is there any difference?
She vaguely felt that something was wrong.
In the previous Fan Xue case, Fan Xue and Jiang Qiongran already had serious psychological problems. At that time, there was indeed no difference between the two doors.
But now?
...Just treat Huo Qingyu as a mental patient?
Is this polite?
wrong.
Now is not the time to be polite or not.
The most important thing is, are these two "doors" of Huo Qingyu the same door?
For a moment, many images flashed through Xia Meng's mind, from all her impressions of Huo Qingyu before today, and every weird thing she had seen since entering this place.
The ghosts here are not normal.
Is it because Huo Qingyu was not normal from the beginning?
Xia Meng turned her head and looked down at the stage.
The music reached its climax, and the black swan in black in the center of the stage began her most stunning 32 whip turns.
Under the backdrop of the stage lights, everyone present was involuntarily attracted by the extremely graceful and dazzling rotation.
At that moment, even Xia Meng had forgotten that the person dancing gracefully was Ou Xu.
In a trance, she even thought that the person was Huo Qingyu himself - the talented dancer who was already highly praised by the entire dance circle at such a young age.
Xia Meng stared with wide eyes.
At a certain moment, she suddenly whispered, "He is laughing."
Li Zhou followed her gaze and looked towards the stage.
Sure enough, "Ou Xu" was smiling at this moment.
That was the smile of the black swan, or perhaps it was the smile of Huo Qingyu himself.
It was an extremely unrestrained and ostentatious smile, as if it contained a laugh of complete satisfaction.
Xia Meng knew that the person behind this smile must be very excited at this moment——
At a certain moment, Ou Xu's body suddenly stiffened, and then began to twitch.
Under the high-speed rotation, his body fell uncontrollably.
He fell heavily to the ground with a bang.
The sudden accident caused the performance to come to an abrupt end.
The actors on the stage froze in confusion.
Xia Meng was stunned, then stood up suddenly.
She opened the door of the box and rushed towards the stage on the first floor.
She ran to the edge of the stage in two steps, put her hands on the platform, and flipped over to climb up.
She rushed to Ou Xu and saw him lying on the stage, unconscious.
What's going on?
what happened?
Xia Meng quickly gave Ou Xu a preliminary examination. He did not have any external injuries. She then checked his breathing, pulse, and pupil reaction. After confirming that he was not seriously injured, she felt relieved.
There's no point in worrying. This damn place doesn't even have any inspection equipment. Even if something really happens, she can't do anything without the necessary tools.
By this time, Mrs. Gilly had arrived.
She showed no sign of panic, and even calmly ordered the people around her, "Take him away and lock him up."
The two people next to him quickly stepped forward.
"Wait a minute!"
Xia Meng raised her hand to stop the person who was approaching. She looked up at Madam Gilly and frowned, "Madam Gilly, can't you first explain what's going on? Why are you locking him up? Did he do something wrong?"
The expression on Mrs. Gilly's face looked very calm, and there was even a hint of familiarity in her calmness.
Lady Gilly, with her hands in her pockets, met her gaze and said calmly, "My Lord Viscount, he has angered Lord Ghost, so he must be locked up. Please move aside."
Xia Meng didn't move.
She: “What if I don’t let you?”
Xia Meng was half squatting at this time.
Lady Gilly stood before her, looking down at her. "You'll anger the Ghost, too. I urge you not to do that."
After she finished speaking, Mrs. Gilly quickly winked at the people around her.
In an instant, several people rushed up and stood in front of Xia Meng, and several others quickly carried the unconscious Ou Xu away.
Xia Meng did not confront these people head-on.
She could only watch helplessly as Ou Xu was led away, then watched as Lady Gilly announced to the audience that, because the Ghost Master was dissatisfied with the performance, the theater would be temporarily suspended. During that time, everyone was confined to their rooms, forbidden from leaving the theater or communicating with anyone, until the Ghost Master calmed down.
After Lady Gilly finished her announcement to everyone, she turned and saluted Xia Meng: "My Lord Viscount, please return to your room as well. Have a good rest and don't go out."
The song has not ended yet, but the people have already dispersed.
Everyone on and off the stage was half led, half driven back to their rooms by the theater servants.
The old servant came to Xia Meng again.
Even the nobility is not immune to the tyranny of the ghost.
Xia Meng had no intention of arguing with these minions. She looked towards the box on the second floor where she was originally.
In the dim light, she couldn't see whether Li Zhou was still there.
But she thought, he should have a way to find her.
So Xia Meng was no longer in a hurry.
She allowed the old servant to take her back to her room without saying a word.
The wooden door closed behind her the moment she stepped through it.
At the same time, the sound of the door being locked was heard.
Xia Meng looked back at the locked door, feeling a little embarrassed.
She didn't doubt that Li Zhou could keep up, but...they were locked up like this, how could he get in?
It's impossible for it to pass through the wall like a spirit, right?
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the sound of glass being knocked behind me.
Xia Meng turned around and saw Li Zhou standing on the small balcony of her room. He gently drew a circle on the glass with his finger, and then the round piece of glass fell inward as if it was cut out of thin air.
Li Zhou was even faster. Before the glass fell and hit the ground, he had already reached out and grabbed it.
His movements are very flexible.
The next second after catching the glass, he had already neatly opened the lock on the glass window.
Xia Meng raised her eyebrows.
Is that all?
She clearly tried to open it last night and couldn't!
But this is not important. She quickly stepped forward and grabbed Li Zhou's arm: "You're just in time. Come on, let's go find Ou Xu!"
Li Zhou raised his eyebrows: "Do you know where he was taken?"
Xia Meng nodded without hesitation: "I asked Ergou to catch up."
Li Zhou suddenly realized that it was no wonder that her spirit body suddenly disappeared from his spirit body.
He thought that her mental strength was still unstable, so she couldn't maintain her form for a long time.
Li Zhou asked, "Then do you know where he was taken?"
Xia Meng is now very skilled at empathizing with Ergou.
She: "His own room has a tunnel leading to an underground labyrinth. That's the realm of ghosts."
As she spoke, Xia Meng walked to the balcony.
The cold wind outside blew towards her, making her shiver subconsciously.
She brushed her messy hair away from her face in surprise.
I didn't know it was so cold outside while standing in the room. It must have been at least below zero.
She murmured, "Is it winter here? Is it going to snow?"
There seemed to be tiny white spots in the wind. She wanted to raise her hand to catch them, but Li Zhou grabbed her wrist.
she:"?"
Li Zhou: "Don't touch it. This is already the edge of the spiritual landscape. If you go any further, you will be swallowed by the edge at any time."
As if he was afraid that she wouldn't believe him, he casually pulled off a piece of the curtain in the room and gently threw it forward.
Less than twenty centimeters after it was thrown, the beige strip of cloth was instantly crushed into powder as if it were ground by some invisible machine and drifted away in the wind.
Xia Meng was dumbfounded.
Is it so dangerous?
Wait, what are these thin white things in the wind?
Never mind, she suddenly wasn't very curious anymore.
"How dare you go this way when it's so dangerous?"
As she spoke, she looked around in disbelief.
There was almost no unnecessary decoration on the theater's exterior walls, and the front wall was covered with balconies and windows similar to her small balcony.
There is a huge distance between the balconies, which is not a distance that a normal person can climb over.
Xia Meng looked at Li Zhou: "Are you Spider-Man?"
Li Zhou laughed.
When he turned his head, half of his dimple was exposed.
"It's okay. Just be careful and everything will be fine." He held out his hand to her. "Shall we go?"
Two light and clever words.
But he asked her if she could put her life in his hands.
If it were someone else, or in another situation, Xia Meng would definitely have to think it over again.
After all, you have to consider the cost when you seek death. After all, you only have one life.
Her eyes fell on the palms of her hands spread out in front of her.
He hesitated for barely half a second before quickly putting his hand on it.
She said boldly, "Let's go!"
