Volume 13 Chapter 17 The Vanishing Map
In front of the Xiahou Night King, Xiahou Tailan did not hide his hostility at all.
Xuanyin found that this qiē seemed to be quite different from her imagination.
"I'll say it again."
"The thing you decided to do...... Stop immediately. ”
However, the Night King's reply was this: "I'm sorry...... I don't understand what you're saying. ”
Xiahou Tailan didn't show the slightest surprise at the Night King's behavior of pretending to be crazy and stupid in her opinion. It even seemed normal for her.
"I'm looking forward to tomorrow's wedding."
After saying this, she turned her head away and walked away.
Aine looked at the Night King's expression, which hadn't changed much, and asked tentatively, "The Night King...... She ......"
"Remember. Only I can make you no longer haunted by the undead. The Night King continued to walk forward without squinting, "You just need to get more maps for me." ”
As the private territory of the Xiahou family, the manor group here is quite idyllic. The Night King brought Atonene into one of the rooms. It is a building with the ancient style of the Republic of China, there is a calligraphy hanging in the lobby, and directly below the calligraphy, there is an offering table, which is already full of various peanuts, red dates and other snacks at the moment.
Walk through the corridor and lead her to a room, after which the Night King says, "I have to go." The bell is ringing, and it is the gathering call for dinner. You are a member of a separate family, and you are not qualified to share the table with a member of the clan. I'll arrange for someone to bring it to you later. During this time, don't go out. Do you understand? ”
"Yes...... I know. ”
The Night King was pleased with his answer. Then he walked to the door. Prepare to leave.
But at this time. He said suddenly.
"Maybe that's redundant words. But...... I'll give you a word of caution. If you have a map, don't follow the route above. Otherwise......"
Xuanyin's heart suddenly tightened. Before her, it was through the guò map that she walked to Renshui Yizhuang.
"Otherwise...... What the? ”
"No...... Still don't talk about it. For human beings, the unknown consequences are more terrifying, aren't they? ”
After saying this rather meaningful sentence. He pushed the door open and walked out.
The bell rang again.
Outside the window, the sun has been completely swallowed up by the horizon. The darkness of the night once again shrouded the land in front of us. And tomorrow is the "wedding" of Xiahou's family.
How many people are in the Xiahou family? She didn't know, but since she came here, most of the people who have caught her eye, except for Tailan, are red-clothed slaves.
Inferred from various clues. They weren't dressed in red all the time.
It's for this so-called wedding, that's why it's dressed like this.
It's just that. Despite this, she didn't feel the festive atmosphere of Xiahou's family at all.
At this time, Xuanyin's mind was filled with the "Gu Bird". The bird, completely occupied her mind, and it could no longer linger.
She had never seen such a ferocious, strange bird as it was.
If this is really a youkai...... So, what is the Xiahou family where this kind of monster appeared?
Thinking of what the Night King said before leaving, she couldn't help but put her hand in her pocket.
However...... That map...... It's gone!
Without...... The map is gone!
At this time, she suddenly remembered that she was wet in the rain before, and after fainting, she was sent back to Renshui Yizhuang, so ...... After this, she was changed from her clothes and pants.
Right...... Why didn't she think of this until now?
Map...... The map was taken!
Who took it?
The first person that came to her mind was Xiahou Jiaoyan!
Logical derivation is easy. If the maid in red took the map, then it should be returned to her. However, if it is the Night King of Xiahou, he will definitely take the map!
No, the map must be retrieved, it must!
The Night King's words to tell her not to leave the room were naturally forgotten in an instant. She only knows now that Xiahou Jiaoyan is here! She must retrieve the map from him!
Take back that map!
Obviously, for the people of the Xiahou family, the map is quite taboo. However, the forbidden map is a temptation for Ayane...... Go and break the taboo!
She walked to the door, opened it slightly, and began to pay attention to her surroundings.
In the hallway, no one was there.
Xiahou Jiaoyan, like himself, is a separate family, so he should be the same as himself, and he can't eat at the same table with the Zong family.
He must be somewhere...... Somewhere in this manor complex......
She came to the silent hallway.
But......
Since the second bell, it has been silent.
Until she walked outside, she didn't see any of the servants in red.
Moreover, the surrounding houses ...... There weren't any lights.
There was a dead silence.
What the hell is going on?
Why is it so quiet all of a sudden?
In the sky, there is no moon in sight, only countless stars dotted in the sky.
She looked across the room.
Although this kind of search is inefficient, the desire for maps has completely clouded Ayane's reason.
The same applies to ...... Reason as an actor.
She walked towards the room.
And at this time, every time she took a step, she felt very heavy. This place, she felt, was quite weird.
Eventually, she made her way to the door of the house. Subsequently...... He stretched out his hand tremblingly and gently pushed the door in front of him open.
It's still ...... Quiescence.
It is a hall that resembles an ancestral hall.
Red satin hung all over the hall, but in contrast to it...... A room full of ......
Spell!
Yes, charms!
The walls and ceilings are densely plastered with at least thousands of charms!
What the hell are these charms?
Thousands of charms were drawn with words she couldn't even understand. And those dense words made Xuanyin feel unusually uncomfortable.
This feeling is getting stronger and stronger.
At this moment, she suddenly faintly heard footsteps!
She hurriedly hid her body under a table of eight immortals in the room!
Then...... She noticed that two pairs of feet appeared in her sight.
Those two pairs of feet were wearing very old-fashioned boots.
"Already...... Are you sure you put the map in that coffin? ”
Map?
It's a map again!
"Yes."
The voice was impressive...... Xiahou Jiaoyan!
The person she's looking for!
The voice of the other speaker was extremely unfamiliar. It can only be determined that it is a man.
"So...... Tomorrow's wedding will be foolproof. This wedding is extremely important to the Xiahou family, you should know it. ”
"Yes."
After a long time, the unfamiliar voice sounded again.
"I've heard something. Xiahou Qinglian's granddaughter, here she is? ”
"Yes."
"What are you thinking?"
"Just in case...... That's it. ”
"Be careful. In any case, the Night King must not be allowed to get the map. Never! ”
Then, he took a deep breath and said, "Say it." What do you have to say that you asked me to meet here alone? ”
"In fact...... The map I put in the coffin ......"
Map!
Aine clenched her hands tightly!
"Added the 'missing' part."
This time, the other voice suddenly gasped!
"You...... Say what? Impossible, missing parts of the map ......"
"Please rest assured. Night King, he must die. Isn't it? Just like you, in fact, no one in the Xiahou family will really recognize him. One qiē is the result of what Xiahou Qinglian did back then. Now it's time to re-correct the error. ”
"Even then, you can't do that! If you do that, you will be able to ......"
"Don't worry. The most crucial part of the map is still in my hands. ”
Map...... Map ...... for the missing parts
Could it be ......
She was about to rush out when she heard the unfamiliar voice say something again.
"So, where is the part of the map you hid?"
Aine grabbed the leg of the table, and at this time, she was extremely concerned about any clues related to the map!
"I've kept it in a very safe place. You...... You can rest assured. (To be continued......)
