Blood Princess and the Knight

"There is such an old-style apartment standing in the wilderness. It seems inconsistent. ≒Zero﹤Seven﹤Chinese﹤文≒" Gordon looked around at the faded red wall book.

The old and aging walls are not covered in dust, and the cleanliness and hygiene are well maintained.

"The architectural style of decades ago was like this." Ji Bai stroked the rough wall, as if he was recalling something.

"Why should a good suburb be rebuilt? Is the local government planning to expropriate it or is it a wealthy businessman who has taken a fancy to this piece of land?" Gordon became somewhat interested and could not hide his fear and curiosity about the unknown. Exploring the yù is a common problem of many creatures. .

"No, I wasn't there at the time, and I don't know much about the specific situation. I just heard that a big fire broke out on the outskirts of Beicheng, and most of the buildings and vegetation were burned down.

"It is said that the fire seemed to have started in the middle of the night. Most of the residents were still sleeping when the incident occurred, and no one noticed the fire. - The suburbs were devastated overnight. The local cavalry corps settled the few surviving victims and followed Order the reconstruction of the suburbs of Beicheng." Ji Bai searched through his memory and recounted some details that he still remembered from many years ago.

"You were in charge of this matter at the time? Why do you look so confused?'

"At that time, there was another knight group stationed in the border town. I was not yet six years old at that time." Ji Bai stared at Gordon seriously for a moment. "This apartment should have existed before the reconstruction of the suburbs of Beicheng. If the reconstruction work has not progressed so far, you should be able to see the ruins of the burned-out walls from the window sill."

Saying this, Ji Bai motioned for him to look at the window sills on both sides of the corridor.

"It's really like this." Gordon, with his sharp eyes, found the broken wall and twisted steel bars looming on the hilltop not far away at first glance. In the storm, they looked like the remains of some huge dead creature.

"Looking at it this way, there has been no progress in the redevelopment of this suburb.

But don’t you think it’s strange?” Gordon shook the stick.

"Although the view is not comprehensive, it cannot be ruled out that some buildings also escaped damage, but within a radius of 100 meters, this house is the only one intact. Don't you think it's too strange?

"I don't know, maybe the fire didn't spread here, otherwise it can't be explained why there are no traces of burning here.

Ji Bai rubbed his fingers over the faded wall.

"It's impossible that it hasn't spread here. The suburbs of the city are almost entirely covered with lawns for a hundred miles, and there is no problem of burning combustibles." Gordon frowned. In his opinion, this apartment was a bit weird. c f mu"\\said

"Don't be too presumptuous. We are only staying here for one night. According to the old gentleman, if you follow the rules, there will be no big problems. But since you are making such assumptions, there is also a rumor that Ji Bai groped his chin and made a - thoughtful model

Lin swallowed calmly.

"The reason why the reconstruction work was hastily stopped was that some supernatural phenomena were triggered. The internal information was blocked by the Knights. We don't know. However, at that time, someone heard the cry of a baby while passing by the ruins on the outskirts of the city at night. There was the sound of chatter, and then the lights were brightly lit, and the dead ruins came to life in the darkness.

Lin bent down and picked up the key chain - she froze.

"Good things don't go out. Rumors spread thousands of miles. The version of this rhetoric continues to evolve and upgrade. Today, it has been spread to the fire that happened decades ago. The lost souls could not be freed, so they often returned to their former homes and died. which hinders the progress of reconstruction and demolition.'

"If you go by your imagination, this apartment is probably decorated by them. Well, every night at midnight, something will appear.

"Nonsense, do you think there are such things as evil spirits in this world?"

I don’t know, since vampires even exist, why don’t they allow evil spirits to exist?”

“Plop.

The two turned around and saw Lin picking up the keys again.

"Why are you looking at me?

"Parasite, are you cold?"

"How can a vampire catch the cold? Why don't cockroaches organize their words before speaking?" Lin rolled her eyes at Ji Bai.

The quarrel between her and Ji Bai can be regarded as their unique way of communicating. Neither of them paid much attention to the issue of address.

Only Gordon stood aside and fell into silence, qMangzhi Xiaozhi

"Are you afraid of invisible and intangible things like ghosts?" Observing Lin's previous reaction, Gordon was almost certain of his guess.

So, it can’t be true, right? As a vampire, you are afraid of dead things.

"It's not that I don't have it, don't talk nonsense."

"She's afraid of ghosts? How did you tell?" Ji Bai was a little confused about Gordon's guess.

"You can see it even if you don't have straight men." Ji Bai ignored Lin, who was confused and still hadn't figured out the cause and effect. He looked up and down at Lin.

"You're a very unique vampire. You're actually afraid of ghosts. Your house is so gloomy that even ghosts can't stand it.

"You can eat randomly but not talk nonsense, how can you insult someone's innocence out of thin air.'

“These words are more convincing when you look at me.

"Okay, it's getting late. If the previous assumptions are true, it's almost time for them to return to their places." Ji Bai looked at the time and said casually and deliberately.

Lin stood expressionless

There was no movement in the same place.

"Okay, don't delay and choose the key quickly. Ladies first, you come first." Gordon and Ji Bai looked at each other at the same time

He looked at Lin.

You guys come first. "Lin handed the keychain to the two of them nonchalantly.

"It's okay, don't worry about us. Miss, you can make your choice first." Before Gordon could speak, Ji Bai did not accept the key that Lin handed over, but made humility in the spirit of a gentleman.

"You choose first, I want to think about it.'

"Do you still need to think twice before choosing a room?" Ji Bai asked very strangely.

Gordon on the side couldn't stand it anymore.

To be honest, he couldn't tell whether the behavior of the man in front of him was accidental or intentional.

If it was intentional, Oscar would owe him several statuettes.

"Grinning, who would choose differently?" Gordon took the lead in breaking the deadlock and grabbed an iron key marked with 101.

"Okay, it doesn't matter." Ji Bai also casually pulled out an iron key - 103.

Finally, Lin, who was holding the key chain, was also very "casual"

Remove the key with the word 104 from the keychain.

Gordon, who caught a glimpse of this scene, said nothing, and his eyes moved meaningfully between the two of them.

"Everyone, please go in and rest early. Ghosts especially like to attack those who don't sleep at night.

Lin remained silent, but the bristling hair showed that her inner activities at the moment were not as ordinary as she appeared on the surface.

Of course, a poor disguise cannot escape the detection of sensitive people, but they just don't want to point it out----Ji Bai is obviously not in this business.

"Yeah, let's go to bed early." Gordon's focus was obviously not on sleeping.

He glanced at the end of the corridor at the other end, where the light ended in darkness without lights.

The room at the other end of the corridor on the first floor should be the room that the old man left for himself.

Gordon's room 101 is located in the first room on the corner, near the stairs leading to the second floor.

Approaching the stairs, I poked my head out slightly to observe. The upstairs was dark, with no light coming out.

The second and third floors had lights before. Gordon saw this with his own eyes and was very convinced.

Could it be that the old man named Birman turned off the lights on the second and third floors when we weren't paying attention? No, he went back to the room after handing us the key. It doesn't rule out that his room has a way to go upstairs. Floor access.

Gordon folded his arms and pondered, the sweet taste on his taste buds felt strange, and then he shook his head.

Are you a little nervous? Besides, I will only stay here for one night. It is better to do less than to do more.

Beside them, the doors of compartments 103 and 104 have been closed.

Throwing the candy-free rod into the trash can, Gordon walked into the room with a crisp sound of the lock.

--------

After washing, Ji Bai took off his armor and sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the ruins outside the window.

The room is not big, but it is well-equipped with all the necessary facilities, including a bathroom, drainage system, and unopened toiletries.

"Deng-deng-deng." The knock on the door suddenly sounded in the quiet room, which seemed a bit harsh.

‘Creak. "The door was opened.

-The slightly dim and soft silver thread seems to hang down according to the mood of its owner at this moment.

The visitor was holding a quilt and pillow in his arms, his head was slightly drooped, and there was a faint blush on his cheeks. He was wearing thin clothes and stopped in front of the door. His fingers were intertwined, as if it was difficult to speak.

"Aren't you asleep yet?"

"-Can't sleep." Lin, who used to have nothing in the past, was acting a little awkward now.

"Oh." Ji Bai thought for a moment and answered. "If you can't sleep, try your best to sleep. If you wander around the corridor, you might fall asleep.

Summer was clearly approaching, but Lin felt a chilling cold wind blowing outside her house.

"If it's okay, I'll close the door first."

"Bang!" The sound of the violent door closing echoed in the empty upstairs corridor. Except for the wind caused by the closing of the door, only the flickering dim lights in the corridor were left.

"Lin made a strange sound, and in the darkness, her legs weakened.

It's really hard for him to understand this kind of thing

There is no way, so why are you afraid of such illusory things? ?

"Creak." The door was opened, and a few rays of light shone on Lin outside the room.

"Come in." Ji Bai sighed softly. "Men and women may not be intimate, if you don't mind.

midnight.

Gordon frowned in his sleep.

In the hazy dream, the voice was getting closer and closer to him. The person outside the door looking at him through the gap was slowly approaching him.

Sitting up in shock instantly

At this moment, orderly footsteps came from the silent corridor, getting closer and closer.
