Chapter 7 - Manor Mist (7)
As soon as the talisman was attached to the clothes, it instantly became transparent.
Su Lingling smiled with satisfaction. She was afraid that she would not be able to react in time to the unexpected situation on the road, so she might as well stick it to Ye He first.
I don’t know if it was Ye He’s illusion, but after Su Lingling urged him to go quickly, Jani’s eyes fell directly on him.
Ye He couldn’t help muttering in his heart: “She looks at me strangely, like…”
It’s like staring at a piece of fat meat, and it’s almost like it’s about to pounce in the next second.
At first, the system thought that Ye He was too narcissistic, but after a closer look, it also found that Jenny was staring at Ye He intently, and faintly realized that something was wrong. But it searched Ye He’s body, but nothing abnormal happened.
No matter what, this is too strange, let Ye He get out of here quickly.
System: [Distance produces beauty, maybe you suddenly think you look good. 】
Ye He: “…I haven’t left yet.”
System: [Hearing that you are leaving, she already has a sense of distance from you in her heart. 】
Ye He: “……”
He turned his head to look at Jani, and said firmly in a volume that only two people could hear: “Don’t worry, I will definitely bring the rose back for you to give to your sister.”
The system urged destructively: [You can go quickly. 】
Jani still looked at him fixedly, but when she heard the word “rose”, the stiff smile at the corners of her lips widened a bit, as if she was overjoyed.
Ye He: “She really looks like her sister when she smiles…”
The system looked away with a guilty conscience: [Yes. 】
Ye He suddenly thought of something, and frowned: “But it’s really strange, how did Jenny die?”
He already has a suspicious candidate in his heart, that is Qin Qian. After all, among so many people in the manor, only Qin Qian’s temperament was the most suitable for a murderer.
Ye He: “There is only one truth…”
System: [Don’t reason, I’m afraid. 】
Even if you don’t get close to the truth at all, how can you sprint with your back to the truth and never look back?
Detective Ye’s reasoning is brutally interrupted.
But seeing that Su Lingling was still there waiting for him, Ye He finally said goodbye to Jani, and then walked downstairs with Su Lingling.
Su Lingling didn’t seem to hear Ye He’s words, and didn’t know anything about Jani’s existence: “What did you say to Jenny just now? Why do you suddenly want to go to the back garden to pick roses?”
Ye He originally wanted to tell Su Lingling that Jenny had died, but thinking about the relationship between Su Lingling and Qin Qian, he finally chose to remain silent.
After all, Su Lingling seemed to like Qin Qian. If he revealed that he knew that Jenny had died, Su Lingling would definitely tell Qin Qian directly, and Qin Qian would probably kill himself directly.
Ye He: “The moonlight is so beautiful tonight, I suddenly wanted to pick a rose for Jenny.”
Su Lingling: “Aren’t you gay?”
She still remembered that when Qin Qian kissed Ye He, the other party didn’t resist at all. No wonder Xia Qing had such a big reaction when he saw her and Ye He leaning against each other before.
Ye He: “I’m not gay, what I like is…”
His scalp is tingling now when he thinks that he has been in close contact with a murderer. If Su Lingling is willing to be patient, he can really explain that he likes girls!
However, Su Lingling didn’t want to hear Ye He’s explanation. After all, Ye He is gay, which may be more in line with her self-esteem than Ye He’s willing to give Jennifer who is not as beautiful as her.
Ye He saw Su Lingling’s expression and knew that the other party didn’t believe it at all, so he had to change the topic: “By the way, why do you want to go to the back garden?”
The charm that Su Lingling thought of was beaten one after another today, and she smiled sarcastically: “I want to give myself a rose.”
She raised her eyes to look at Ye He, her expression showing infinite amorous feelings. She is indeed a charming woman, and she has gained a lot of convenience by relying on her own charm before, but compared to Ye He’s appearance, she still pales in comparison.
Ye He was very cheering: “Okay! As expected of you!”
Su Lingling felt that Ye He was mocking her, but couldn’t find any evidence.
When going downstairs, Ye He looked around and faintly sensed something was wrong. He turned to ask Su Lingling, “Do you think there is something strange in the hall?”
Su Lingling didn’t want to arouse Ye He’s vigilance now, so she smiled deliberately: “Really? I didn’t feel it.”
Hearing Su Lingling say this, Ye He didn’t say any more, and couldn’t help but wonder if he was too sensitive.
Su Lingling entered the dungeon earlier, and had already figured out the topography of the manor, and took Ye He lightly to copy the road from the back door of the hall into the back garden.
The crescent moon hangs high, and the moon stars are rare.
The rose garden that Ye He originally envisioned was just a small flowerbed, but after seeing it with his own eyes, he realized that it was because he had a small layout—this should not be called a rose garden, but a rose sea.
Rose is half a person tall, and they are close to each other.
A breeze blew, and the roses were slanted slightly, accompanied by the rustling sound of the leaves as the wind blew the leaves, like rippling red waves.
Being so quiet on the way to the Rose Garden made Su Lingling’s spirit highly tense. In order to ease her tension, she looked at the roses and said, “It is said that the Duke’s lover likes roses, so he planted this large piece of roses. Even if the Duke dies and his lover disappears, the roses will still bloom.”
Perhaps this rose also represents the Duke’s love, which will not wither even if the other party dies.
If it is normal, it will definitely be a touching love story. But in this dungeon, Su Lingling only felt cold all over her body.
Ye He concluded: “One flower is passed on to N generations, and the flower is still there.”
Su Lingling suddenly felt that her body was no longer cold.
Ye He rolled up his sleeves, just wanting to finish Jenny’s task quickly. He stretched out his hand directly towards the nearest rose, but just as he touched the flower branch, he suddenly felt an inexplicable chill rising from his back.
And his fingertips seemed to be touched by something, and a slight tingling sensation rose from the touched place.
Ye He was shocked: “This…”
Could it be that there was a little bug on this rose that bit him?
Just as Ye He was about to retract his hand and take a look at his fingertips, he felt his back being pushed by a pair of hands. At the same time, a systematic scream rang out in his ears: [Be careful! 】
However, this reminder was too late, Ye He instantly lost his balance and fell straight into the rose bush.
The fine thorns ripped through his clothes, leaving a trail of ambiguous red marks. Ye He turned over and wanted to sit up with his arms supported, but he couldn’t use his strength. It seemed that he injured his waist.
He looked at Su Lingling as if begging for help, wanting to let Su Lingling pull him, but unexpectedly saw Su Lingling picking up the rose at a very fast speed, looked at him in fear and ran away without looking back.
Ye He was not someone who could suffer from pain, but now that his waist was injured, he didn’t even have the mood to scold Su Lingling for not wanting to help him. He clutched his injured waist and struggled to call for help.
I hope the people in the manor don’t sleep too deeply, otherwise this will be his grave.
Ye He thought with some regret, if he had known this earlier, he might as well sleep in his room, so that even when the countdown to his life was over, he would still be on a soft bed.
But soon, Ye He didn’t have time to think about it.
He felt that the rose beside him suddenly grew wildly. It used to be only half a person tall, but now Ye He has grown to wonder if he stood up to be half as tall as a rose. Even the originally small thorns are now dozens of centimeters long and straight. The ground fell towards Ye He.
Ye He: “Department…”
His voice came to an abrupt end as the flower thorn fell.
Ye He didn’t care to contact the system again, he turned over in a panic, but just as he dodged, another rose thorn fell off beside him. Ye He didn’t know that he turned a few somersaults, and the clothes that had been ripped became even more tattered, revealing large areas of snow-white skin, which glowed with a pearl-like luster in the moonlight.
But the most conspicuous thing was the red birthmark on his waist, like a carved rose, blooming quietly under the moonlit night.
And those roses that were still aggressive suddenly seemed to be frozen, and they returned to their former silence.
Ye He was completely unaware of what had happened, he only knew that he was breathing for a moment.
There was a rustling sound in his ears, a thorn came out of nowhere, directly wrapped around his wrist, and then tightened and pulled, Ye He’s wrist was forced to lift up and close to the top of his head.
The thorns on the thorns pressed against his delicate skin, causing a tingling mixed with tingling.
Ye He: “Fuck!”
What’s going on here? !
He subconsciously wanted to struggle, but his waist was already injured, and the moment he moved was a tearing pain from his waist, which caused a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and his eyes were a little red.
But soon Ye He’s body began to tremble involuntarily.
He felt a hand caressing his cheek, but there was no one in front of him.
Ye He said with a trembling voice in his heart: “The system…”
However, at this time, there was no familiar mechanical sound in his heart as a response.
No, even if Su Lingling runs away, why is the system offline at this time? !
Ye He’s eyes were red, and his long eyelashes had already condensed some water. He didn’t know whether it was his own tears or the dew that he accidentally got on the rose bush just now.
Ye He didn’t give up and said, “Is there anyone here? Who are you…”
Before he finished speaking, he felt his body suddenly sink, as if something was pressing on him. Ye He wanted to push the opponent away, but his hands were bound now, and the thorns became tighter when he struggled a little.
And Ye He’s lips that were about to chatter were also kissed.
The author has something to say:
【Work diary of the system】
Yehe, reasoning, rotten.
Ye He, who accidentally saw the system diary:? ? ?
