Chapter 4

As if a century had passed, Ye Miao regained consciousness with a splitting headache, turned over slightly, and let out a low moan mixed with blood foam from her throat. Memories of the scenes before the fall surged up, ruthlessly washing away the sore temples, and finally lifted the heavy eyelids that were filled with mud and stones.

She remembered that she inadvertently turned the mechanism of the lamp holder on the wall when she was borrowing the fire, and then she fell through the cracked bricks unexpectedly and fell to the ground of the abandoned palace. There are at least three floors in height from the ground to here. She rolled down the winding slope, which was a blessing among misfortunes. If it hit the ground directly without any obstruction, its brains might burst out.

How much time has passed since she fell?

Where did she fall into?

Chambers were dug under the palace of Cardan, under the palaces of the king and queen, and under the palaces where their children lived. It can be used not only to hide treasures, but also to provide refuge for the royal family under special circumstances. Could it be that there is a similar structure in the palace of the former king in Abil?

Ye Miao sat up, stroked her limbs and body inch by inch, and made sure that none of the bones were broken, but her ribs were so painful that she probably injured her internal organs. This is really the worst situation. She sighed, and touched a condensed dry block on the back of the clothes. After peeling it off with her nails, she rubbed her fingertips, and it turned into crumbs and flew around.

Because it was too dark, Ye Miao couldn't be sure what it was. When she put the finger that touched it under her nose, she smelled a long time and slightly pungent smell. Dried paint rubbed against the stone quickly.

The oil lamp has disappeared, but it will never be stronger than a person. Even if it could be found, it would have been broken long ago. Ye Miao clutched her aching ribs and waited for her eyes to adapt to the darkness below, only to realize that this place was not completely dark, there was something smeared on the wall stone, faintly emitting an ominous dark blue phosphorescence like will-o'-the-wisp.

Above the head, the so-called slope or exit has long since disappeared, replaced by a piece of dilapidated, rough, uneven stone ceiling, twisted and twisted stone lines like gangrene, which is actually a mass of open mouths, A poisonous snake burned at the stake.

Ye Miao froze, and had a very bad premonition. Assuming that after she fell, her body still rolled for a while due to inertia, it is impossible for her to be too far away from the place where she fell. That is to say, the passage to the outside world has been automatically closed. If she couldn't open it from here, then she had only two options left, to find another exit, or—to be trapped to death.

This is an endless long corridor, and the far end can't even see the faint phosphorescence, completely hidden in the extremely quiet darkness, and no one knows what terrible things will be hidden there.

If there were any monsters, they would have come to eat her long ago when she was in a coma—Ye Miao said this to herself three times in her mind before standing up while leaning on the wall, and walked to the left in small steps go.

I hope that this place really does what she wishes, and it is similar to the Cardan Palace, so the structure will not be too complicated. As long as you don't go sideways, you may be able to find another exit to the surface.

If the light at this time was not so dim, Ye Miao would definitely be able to find that there was a pattern of an upside-down pentagram on the open space where she lay, and the dried black dye was rubbed by her clothes. The clear boundary of a goat's head wrapped in snakes is dragged out of blurred cracks. What stuck to her clothes just now was the dye stirred from crow's blood and holy water.

With the destruction of the imprint, it seemed that something was disintegrated silently. A gust of cold wind blew in, and the corridor was clearly still empty, except for the sound of Ye Miao's breathing and footsteps. But on the wall not far behind her, at some point, a faint shadow was projected, and as she walked step by step, it became taller and taller, growing curved and thick goat horns, and the tail edge The sharp, huge bone wings drilled out from the back, sweeping away the phosphorescent light on the wall.

Among the many legends in the Ripas Continent, there are many stories such as "the warrior traps the dragon with a solid ice chain" and "the witch curses the devil with the plan of attacking poison with poison". At this time, Ye Miao, who wrote the follow-up for these legends, was still immersed in the hope of finding a way out to return to the ground, unaware that she had already unintentionally released a terrifying thing, and was followed by him— — as if her ambiguous nightmare was repeating itself.

Ye Miao didn't have a pocket watch, so she couldn't see the specific time passing, but based on her own pace, she walked for more than two hours. The corridor was surprisingly free of traps and forks, and the worst thing she had imagined—a monster pounced on her—didn't happen. But the problem is also here, there is nothing, how long will it be possible to export?

The dull pain in the abdominal ribs and the sore feet reminded Ye Miao that she must rest for a while. She supported the wall and sat down where she was, but her fingers accidentally touched something hard and cold.

Ye Miao vaguely saw its outline, was taken aback in disbelief, and reached out to feel for it. After confirming what it was, his face turned pale.

This was the oil lamp that had fallen with her, with broken glass scattered around the cold wick.

After spending so much effort, he still returned to the original point. It was like a ghost hitting a wall. Could it be that this is a secret passage with no exit? Or is it that she was deceived by blindfolds, and she didn't know when she turned back? Is it a good thing done by monsters? Or was the miasma below causing her hallucinations?

No matter what it is, Ye Miao has vaguely realized that this place is not that simple. She shivered and took a breath, leaning against the base of the wall.

Unprecedented difficulties in life are in front of you, but you can use all your experience and knowledge, but there is still no solution-when you realize this, despair will flood in.

Ye Miao was tired and hungry, her mind was almost out of control, and she fell asleep unknowingly.

This time, the dream that she hadn't had since she came to Yabil came to visit her again, but it was different from before. Before, she couldn't see the appearance of the thing hugging her at all, and she was also passively bearing it, as if she was an outsider. From the beginning to the end, she felt in a fog.

But this time, although her vision was also darkened, she felt the other party's wandering breath more clearly than ever before. The tip of His moist tongue parted her lips, drove straight in, and licked her teeth tenderly and delicately.

Although it was just lips and tongues, but this time, she had a particularly real sense of oppression that was about to be swallowed up, as if something that had been seen in the fog and finally a layer away suddenly approached her eyes. Ye Miao whimpered in horror, and the body fluid that she hadn't swallowed in time flowed out from the corner of her mouth.

At this moment, she suddenly found that one of her hands was not being suppressed, so she did something she had never done before - she pushed the thing, and her fingertips slid across His shoulder and neck, She touched the parts that didn't belong to humans - the sharp and upright pointed ears, the rough and ugly lines spreading on his chest, and the huge bone wings drilled out of the cold and strong texture of his back...

This is Ye Miao's last impression of this dream.

After a long period of silence, she slowly opened her eyes, and found that the corners of her eyes were still stained with tears after sobbing, but she was no longer sitting cross-legged against the wall, but lying on her side on the ground.

That nightmare came to an abrupt end again. This time, it was actually only up to the point of kissing the lips. But the right time, place and people, in such a gloomy and helpless situation, the same dream will brew several times more terror.

She rubbed her red eyes, and suddenly realized that the phosphorescence on the corridor wall had disappeared, and she could hardly see anything. Just when it was strange, a very pleasant voice suddenly came from the side that was supposed to be empty: "Hi."

Ye Miao froze, and finally screamed unbearably, and swung her palm reflexively. It actually made her hit the opponent's side cheek, and let out a crisp "snap".

The air froze in an instant.

Ye Miao was so astonished that she almost didn't come to her senses - the touch was warm and delicate, which was human body temperature.

In front of her was a living person.

Her hand, frozen in mid-air, was quickly grasped. A strange boy's voice sounded, and said softly and softly: "Don't be afraid, I am your kind, and I am here to help you."

When others speak in such a soft tone, they will only appear gentle and temperless, as if they are teasing a child with a temper. The voice of this young man is very unique. Under the gentle and sincere surface, there seems to be a layer of feminine and seductive sweetness hidden, which is more likely to remind people of the words "seductive", "bewitching" and "cunning". class of words.

If Ye Miao hadn't been frightened so much in one night that she was out of her wits, according to her normal acuity, she would definitely be able to hear the unnatural wording used in this sentence—a normal person, when introducing herself to others , the word "similar" is rarely used.

This sentence is more like a alien who is dealing with human beings for the first time, using a language that is also unfamiliar to itself.

But now, Ye Miao has experienced being hunted by monsters, ghosts hitting the wall, and being pinched by that hateful thing in her dream. In the desperate situation, she finally met a living person who showed kindness... No matter who it is, they will not go to the other party's slight loopholes immediately, they will only feel relieved.

Ye Miao swallowed her tears, sat up, half-believing but full of hope and said: "You... are you human?"

This sounded like a curse, but it was definitely not Ye Miao's intention - it was just the sequelae caused by too many non-human beings she encountered in one night.

The other party did not answer directly, but asked in a natural tone: "Otherwise what else?"

Although he couldn't see his face, in Ye Miao's mind, he could imagine him making an expression of raising his eyebrows.

With this guarantee, Ye Miao's stiff shoulders gradually relaxed. After calming down a bit, she finally felt embarrassed for her aggressive behavior just now—she slapped the other party without saying a word just now, and quickly apologized to the other party with a blushing face.

There was a rustling sound, and the strange boy seemed to sit down in front of her, only to hear him casually say, "Who are you, and why are you here?"

"I accidentally fell in." Ye Miao rubbed her eyes, and found that she still couldn't see anything, and gradually became a little uneasy: "Is there no light on the wall here?"

"have."

Ye Miao was at a loss: "Then why can't I see it?"

The author has something to say: 1 This time it is not a dream, so it feels so real (but there is a reason for it, not anxious color 2333)
