Lu Sheng's brows furrowed. He suddenly crossed the distance and appeared where the child was standing. He looked down at the ground.
"As expected, there are no footprints … My senses didn't sense anything approaching either …" He felt something was wrong.
"This place …" Lu Sheng licked his lips. He suddenly stomped with his right foot and floated into the air.
The buildings around him shrank and descended rapidly. In the blink of an eye, he was hundreds of meters in the air. He looked down at the entire Fei Manor.
"Huh?" Lu Sheng was even more confused.
He had only jumped this high, but the Fei Manor below was completely covered in a thick layer of gray mist. He couldn't see anything clearly.
Lu Sheng let gravity carry him down. The wind whistled past his ears. As he rapidly descended, he could gradually see the outline of the Fei Manor's buildings. But it was still not clear.
When he was only seven or eight meters in the air, the surrounding scenery of the Fei Manor became clear. But at seven or eight meters, he could only see a small area around him.
Landing lightly, Lu Sheng looked at the swing behind him again. There was also an exit to the garden behind it. He didn't know where it led to.
He paused for a moment, then walked toward the exit.
… …
Sima Xiu supported the limp Fei Bailing and quickly returned to the bedroom they had been hiding in.
Fei Bailing panted heavily. As soon as she entered the room, she froze.
There was a person standing in the corner of the bedroom. His back was facing them, and he seemed to be eating something quietly, occasionally making soft chewing sounds.
"Who … who is he?" she asked in a small voice, trembling.
As if noticing her gaze, the man's shrugging shoulders suddenly stopped.
"Shh!!" Sima Xiu quickly covered her eyes. "Don't look at him. As long as you don't look at him, he won't pay attention to us!" His voice was very low, and there was a hint of weakness in it.
Fei Bailing's heart skipped a beat. She quickly closed her eyes, not daring to look.
"Don't be afraid … I've figured out the pattern. As long as you don't look at him, he won't pay attention to us. Just pretend he doesn't exist. "Sima Xiu coughed a few times and quickly covered his mouth with his sleeve. When he moved his sleeve away, it was already stained with blood.
Fei Bailing tried her best not to look at him and followed Sima Xiu to the bed.
The bedroom was very large. It was divided into two parts by a screen in the middle. One had a bed and wardrobe, and the other had a desk, dressing table, and so on.
The strange man was standing in the corner beside the dressing table, his back facing them.
The two of them walked behind the screen, and when they felt that there was something blocking their view, they heaved a sigh of relief.
"Why don't we change to an empty room? Why did you have to come here? " Fei Bailing couldn't help but ask in a small voice, "Also, Inspector Sima, when did you come in? Did you find my sister and my parents?" She had a stomach full of questions that needed to be answered. Now that she had finally met a normal person, the doubts in her heart suddenly burst out like a flash flood.
Sima Xiu smiled bitterly and waved his hand.
"As soon as I received your blood letter, I immediately rushed over …"
"Blood letter? What blood letter? "Unexpectedly, he had only just begun. Fei Bailing interrupted him. The girl stared at him in astonishment.
"When did I ever write a blood letter?" As she spoke, her eyes kept moving around. Her pupils were focused everywhere, but not on Sima Xiu in front of her.
Her eyes weren't moving at the same time, but left and right, one slanted up and one slanted down. Her movements were rapid, as if she was extremely anxious.
This wasn't something a human could do.
"Your eyes …" Sima Xiu's heart went cold, and he took a step back.
"What eyes?" Fei Bailing didn't seem to notice. "Sir Inspector, I didn't write any blood letter."
"Is … is that so?" Sima Xiu blinked. His vision blurred, and the Fei Bailing in front of him returned to her delicate and pretty appearance. It seemed like his eyes were just playing tricks on him.
"No … nothing …" Sima Xiu took a deep breath.
"After I came in, I looked everywhere for you, but I quickly realized that this place is too big and has too many twists and turns. I almost got lost. Then, I met that person by chance. "He pointed at the corner of the wall. "After that, I found a safe place to hide. Then, I ran into some accidents, found the map, and followed it here."
"Really?" Fei Bailing looked at him expectantly. "Did you meet my little sister? And my parents? "
"Unfortunately, no."
"Really? Really?? You didn't meet them either … "Fei Bailing murmured with her head down. "Then where did they go?"
Sima Xiu sighed. He felt like he was really injured and exhausted to the point that he was hallucinating.
"Right, how have you been eating these days? There aren't any normal people in this house, right? "
"Eating? Eating? "Fei Bailing paused, then lowered her head." Yeah … what did I eat? What did I eat? "
Sima Xiu frowned. He knew that the girl in front of him had probably developed some kind of neurological disorder after staying in such a terrifying environment for too long.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now. We need to think of a way to leave this place. This house is very strange. I came in last night, and tried to leave twice, but I couldn't find the door."
Fei Bailing's pupils contracted, but then returned to normal. "I know where we can leave." She raised her head. "Other than the main door, there are two other ways to leave."
"Take me there. We need to leave immediately! "Sima Xiu became spirited.
"Al … okay …" Fei Bailing nodded. She raised her head and rubbed her eyes tiredly. Suddenly, she noticed something out of the corner of her eye.
She turned to look.
"Ah!!"
She suddenly screamed.
On the screen to her right, there was a human face protruding from the cloth screen.
It was the person in the corner! He was staring at the two of them through the screen. His entire face was pressed against the screen, as if he was trying to break through the only partition.
"Let's go!" Sima Xiu made a quick decision and pulled Fei Bailing away. The two of them went around the screen and rushed out of the room.
Rumble …
Just as they rushed out of the room and walked into the corridor, the two of them were shocked to find that a large patch of dark clouds had appeared in the sky. The dark clouds blocked the light, and the sky quickly darkened. The darkness slowly spread from the corridor behind them.
The originally bright corridor quickly darkened. It was as if it was dyed black by ink and quickly approached them.
"Let's go!" Sima Xiu looked at this clearly unnatural phenomenon and hurriedly carried Fei Bailing on his back and ran.
Crack!
Lightning flashed. In the darkness of the corridor, a petite girl in a white dress with disheveled hair watched the two of them escape.
She walked forward step by step, and wherever she went, everything was dyed pitch-black.
The black cloud in the sky followed her footsteps and blocked out all light in front of her.
Crack.
Another bolt of lightning flashed.
Fei Bailing was carried on Sima Xiu's back. The two of them ran madly, blood splattering everywhere. The wound on Sima Xiu's waist had split open again.
"You're hurt?! You're bleeding?! "Fei Bailing couldn't help but exclaim.
"I'm fine, I'm fine. We need to leave immediately." Sima Xiu endured the pain without changing his expression. Other than his pale face, he looked like a normal person who wasn't injured.
"We're safe. Nothing is catching up." Fei Bailing looked back and saw nothing behind them.
They didn't know when they had run to the entrance of a banquet hall. The door was half open, and cold wind blew out from inside. It was bone-chilling.
"Is that so?" Sima Xiu let out a sigh of relief and put Fei Bailing down gently.
"This … is where my father and the others hold meetings …" Fei Bailing steadied herself and looked at the dilapidated furnishings in the hall.
Even through the half-open door, she could see wine glasses scattered on the floor, overturned tables, moldy carpets, and dirty walls.
"Let's find the exit first!" Sima Xiu urged.
"There … seems to be a secret passage here …" Fei Bailing said hesitantly and slowly walked into the hall.
The hall was a mess. Cobwebs, dust, broken glass lamps, and the walls were covered with black stains of unknown origin.
"Here!" Fei Bailing quickly found an exit. It was next to the ventilation pipe. She undid a brick on the wall, and there was a secret passage.
However, the passage was more than two meters above the ground. She had to use a stool to open it.
"I'll go in first." Sima Xiu looked into the passage. It was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything.
"Okay!" Fei Bailing nodded and backed off a little.
Sima Xiu looked around the hall and made sure there were no problems. Then, he dashed into the passage.
He quickly crawled in and found that there was no dust or danger inside, so he quickly retreated to the entrance.
"Come, I'll pull you!" He poked his head out.
"Okay."
Fei Bailing also stood on a stool and reached out.
Whoosh …
Suddenly, the entire hall darkened. In the span of a breath, the hall was completely covered by dark clouds, and the hall was plunged into darkness.
Bam.
"Ouch."
Fei Bailing was startled and accidentally fell to the ground.
"Are you okay??" Sima Xiu hurriedly took out a fire starter, but he couldn't light it.
"I'm fine. I'm standing up again. I'm reaching out. "Fei Bailing's voice came from the darkness.
"Okay, come, I'll pull you!" He hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab it, and very quickly, he caught a small, ice-cold hand. He pulled hard, and the person was pulled in.
… …
"So painful …" Fei Bailing rubbed her butt and sat up.
"Are you okay? This passage is blocked. I didn't see it clearly. We have to leave immediately and find another exit." Sima Xiu's voice came from in front of her.
"Okay!" Fei Bailing stood up and saw a figure standing in front of her. She hurriedly nodded. "I know another place we can go out."
"Really? Then let's go. "The figure pulled her out of the hall and hurriedly ran back along the corridor.
"Huh? We're going the wrong way. "Fei Bailing was surprised.
"No, we're not," the figure replied.
"This is the way back, the way back!" Fei Bailing felt something was wrong.
"The way back." The figure didn't even look back. His grip on her hand grew stronger and tighter.
The two ran past room after room, out of the corridor, and through the small garden.
"This is … no! I don't want to go back!! "Fei Bailing finally realized something was wrong and began to struggle. But her hand was held tightly and she couldn't break free.
"Heeheehee …"
In the darkness, she could vaguely see a few small figures standing in the garden, laughing like children. These figures were all looking in her direction, as if they were all looking at her.
"No … no …!" Fei Bailing's tears gushed out. She was pulled towards the bedroom she was staying in. The person pulling her didn't say anything and just ran forward.
The two started running along the garden wall, getting closer and closer to the children in front of them.
"Heeheehee …"
"Little girl …"
"Little girl …"
"Little girl …"
"Little girl …"
The children began to walk quickly towards her. Fei Bailing's entire body was trembling. Her back was cold, and she could only be pulled numbly as she watched the black figures approach.
In the darkness, her entire body was cold, and she almost stopped breathing. She could only stare blankly at the approaching children.
The child in the front raised his hand and reached toward her.
"Puff."
Suddenly, the person in front of her who was pulling her disappeared. Fei Bailing fell to the ground due to inertia.
Coincidentally, she was surrounded by children.
"Heeheehee …"
One figure after another slowly approached her from all directions. They all reached out their hands toward her.
"Little girl."
"Little girl."
"Little girl."
"Little girl."
"Little girl …"
"Boom!!!"
Suddenly, a huge sound exploded from the side wall. Countless rocks flew like cannonballs and slammed into the door behind them.
"That's why I hate mazes." A burly figure holding a sword emitting white smoke slowly walked into the gap in the wall.
The figure was bare-chested, and his muscles were twisted like the roots of a thousand-year-old tree. They were intertwined and emanated a metallic luster.
The most eye-catching thing was the large number of blood-red net-like patterns on his body. These patterns glowed with a bloody and cruel light in the darkness. They were like crawling, blood-sucking worms.
