Blood Princess and the Knight

31~Bronze mirror in the basement

net

As night fell, I suddenly returned to the old apartment hotel and slept on the bed on the first floor.

The door crack opened, and a rickety old man stood outside the corridor, peering at himself through the crack.

The distance between him and himself kept getting closer. Lying on the bed, he couldn't move or even move his eyes, as if he had merged with the bed.

When he was trying to struggle, the old man was already standing beside his bed. His old face covered with corpse spots showed no emotion, and his eyes were staring at him lifelessly.

"Do you have a problem with me?" Unable to speak, he understood what Ji Bai wanted to express.

The old man stared at him for a while, pointed to the floor silently, gave him a meaningful look, and then disappeared.

Ji Bai woke up from his dream and stood up.

The crescent moon is shining high, and the pale light shines on the outskirts of Solo City. The old apartment buildings are hidden in the darkness, like a huge sleeping animal, and the bleak wind on all sides is his breath.

Dots of moonlight scattered on the lonely stone tablet. The old stone tablet was severely weathered, and the writing on it was blurred and difficult to read.

And he was lying on the lawn not far from the old apartment.

Back again?

Ji Bai remembered that he should sleep in a small hotel in Nancheng District and wait until tomorrow to make plans.

I don't have the habit of sleepwalking. Who put me in this place while I was asleep? Or is it because I have thoughts and dreams every day and is worried about the doubts about the old apartment, so I feel sleepy at night? came here?

Recalling some reminders given to him by the strange old man in his dream, he felt that things were not that simple.

There is some kind of life form in this apartment that cannot be recognized by common sense. If it is explained in this way, is the creature in this apartment giving any hint to itself?

The demons in the apartment were arrested. Did these evil spirits still not disperse after the apartment became vacant?

The stone tablet looks to be quite old, but it doesn't have much dust. Someone carefully cleans it every now and then, which should be the daily care of the demon species.

Based on the existing evidence, it is inferred that the demon species was probably the real culprit that caused harm to the family, and then it occupied the magpie's nest and took the entire apartment as its own.

As the real murderer, he erected a tombstone for the victim and maintained and cleaned it on a daily basis. Does this mean he has no consciousness of being the real murderer?

The writing on the stone tablet has been soaked by time, and the tombstone carvings engraved on it are difficult to read. I can barely recognize the name of the buried person.

"Olanbes." This should be the name of the old knight's son.

The other two tombstones are those of the old knight's wife and his old father.

Somewhat strangely, Ji Bai went around the apartment but couldn't find the old knight's own tombstone.

"Isn't that old knight dead?" This idea came up and was rejected by Ji Bai.

As a first-order human, it is difficult to live for more than a hundred years. This apartment was recorded nearly a hundred years ago when it was still in the old knight's name. If he were still alive today, he would probably be an old monster over a hundred years old.

So where is the tombstone of the old knight? Did he die in battle?

With limited clues, Ji Bai felt that his inference was blocked, so he decided to sneak into the apartment building to investigate.

Both the side entrance and the main entrance were guarded by knights, so it was difficult to sneak in quietly.

When he turned the corner, the house behind him gave Ji Bai a surprise. two

A window in an inner room was open.

Ji Bai looked thoughtfully at the window with fluttering curtains.

This apartment has been completely sealed off. Is this omission due to negligence on the part of the knights, or did someone deliberately open the window?

Recalling that the place where I woke up was not far from the tombstone in the back room, I felt like this window was opened just for me.

This room is the bathroom of an apartment building. Except for the first one by the door, the other compartments have their doors closed tightly, as if someone is inside.

Quietly opening the door crack, the corridor was silent. The knights outside only searched and sealed the apartment, but did not send anyone to patrol the apartment, saving Ji Bai trouble.

The spirit in this apartment specially entrusted the dream to me. Is there something that I need to complete by myself?

The old man seemed to point to the ground, was he telling himself that there was something underneath this apartment?

Ji Bai stood still with his sword in hand, walking back and forth in the corridor to test the emptiness of the stone slabs.

He soon realized that this was not an option. The apartment covered a very large area, and he had to test each floor tile over and over again. He could not finish it until the next morning.

Putting his hand on the hilt of the sword, Ji Bai fell into thought and stared at the dark opening in front of him. "If it's your intention to invite me here, please tell me what to do. I just gave you a vague direction and I can't help you.

Ji Bai's words worked. A gust of wind blew into the huge apartment building and pushed open the door of the room at the right end of the corridor.

Are they giving themselves a hint? That room seems to be Birman's room?

The structure is the same as other rooms on the first floor. In terms of layout, except for an extra set of tables, chairs and sofas, it is almost the same. It can be seen that the owner is very careful and strict about the cleaning of the room.

Sincerely, there is no sign of dust in the corners of the entire room, and the furniture and sheets have been washed very clean.

Look at the placement and other rooms

The iron bed was completely different. Ji Bai thought for a while, moved the furniture to make enough space, pushed the iron bed away, and tested it with his sword. Sure enough, a hollow sound came out.

It is not difficult to carefully move the hollow brick away. It seems that this brick has been moved frequently.

Ji Bai was not in a hurry to jump down. He lay on the floor and listened intently. If there was any danger, he might be caught off guard if he jumped.

After confirming that there was no sound, Ji Bai jumped down.

A not very spacious room, it seems to be a basement used for stacking sundries. The black stones used for stacking are somewhat rough, but they are assembled into the most stable building form. It seems that a lot of effort has been put into the selection of materials and casting, but it gives It feels like one has used his strength in a wrong way.

The whole room has no aesthetic feeling at all. Instead, it looks like a fortress built to prevent something from invading.

With his eyes adapted to the darkness, he could barely see the outline of the furnishings in the room. Ji Bai lit the half-burned paraffin on the wooden table, and the weak candlelight lit up the cold room.

There is nothing worth exploring in the room. There is only one main room in the basement and no separate rooms.

There was a large box, yellowed papers scattered on the tabletop stained with messy ink, and a large wardrobe. This was the entire layout of the basement.

The big box was locked. It had been in disrepair for a long time, and the rusty lock had almost become a decoration. It was easy to cut it with the sword.

There is only a stack of yellowed papers spread out on the table. Most of them are completely blank. Except for the parts that have become yellowed by time, no information is recorded. A few of them are stained with pure black juice, leaving nothing behind. Blank space.

Ji Bai counted and found that there were thirteen pieces of paper, four of which were pure black, and the rest were all pure white without any ink.

Why put these thirteen pieces of paper with nothing written on them in the box and lock them? Judging from the age of the lock, it should have been left by the original owner of this apartment, so what did he want to express?

The number thirteen itself is a bit mysterious. There are thirteen holy martial families in the temple, but it is too far-fetched to refer to the temple just because they have the same number. The two should have nothing to do with each other.

The candlelight flickered, flickering on and off, and a passing black shadow appeared in the basement. It pointed at the closet with an unknown meaning.

Do you want me to open the closet?

“The rusty door shaft turned and made an unpleasant sound.

As soon as the cabinet door was opened, a piece of white paper floated out in front of the cabinet door.

There are only seven dots drawn on the white paper, and six black dots form a circle, surrounding the bright red dot among them.

“Six black dots surrounding a red dot, what does that mean?

Ji Bai Mingming felt that this piece of paper was no ordinary graffiti.

After folding the paper and putting it in his pocket, Ji Bai looked at the only item in the wardrobe, a half-length oval bronze mirror.

The weird feeling was like spreading ink, slowly soaking into Ji Bai's limbs and bones. excellent

The dim mirror reflected his own appearance, as it should be.

What was reflected in the mirror was not his own appearance, but a little girl wearing a black and white suspender dress with silver hair like frost.

The girl's eyes changed slightly, and her expressionless face began to look weird - exactly the same as her own expression at the moment.

Ji Bai stretched out his hand to touch his face. As expected, he touched the cold iron helmet before touching his skin. The girl in the mirror reached out and touched her face at the same time, her complexion changing slightly.

There is something wrong with this bronze mirror.

Just when Ji Bai was about to take out the suspicious bronze mirror, the weak candlelight flickered and was swallowed up by darkness.

There was no wind in the basement. Someone blew out the candlelight deliberately.

"The inside of the bronze mirror is changing. In the darkness, the unbearable sound is making the scalp numb, as if something is crawling out of the bronze mirror.

The corners of the "silver-haired girl's" mouth opened in a ferocious arc. In the pitch black where no fingers could be seen, this heart-rending weirdness was inexplicably real.

"Ka! Ka! Ka!" The girl in the mirror kept hitting the bronze mirror, her scalp was broken, and the skin on her face was ulcerated. Pale bones could even be seen on half of her face, but the smile at the corner of her mouth became more and more weird. The two skulls stared at Ji Bai outside the mirror.

Ji Bai was also looking at her, with an unknown expression under his iron helmet.

Neither stopping nor escaping, he just watched quietly as the monster in the mirror showed its original shape and emerged from the mirror bit by bit.

Seeing that the prey was motionless, the monster became more and more aggressive, attributing all this to the fact that the prey was frightened.

Finally, the skeletal monster emerged from the mirror.

Oncoming was a fist wrapped in black arm armor.

"Boom!" The monster's head was cut off abruptly: - =
