C50 What the hell

Ah!" What kind of arm was this?!

She flung it away and took the quilt with her and hid it in the corner of the bed.

The man was awoken by her deafening voice. He frowned as he faintly opened his deep, pitch-black eyes.

"What's his name?" It was a low, deep voice that also contained a hoarse and sexy voice. It was Qi Huaizhao.

Mo Xian's trembling little body slowly calmed down, and actually had the urge to cry, "Qi Huaizhao, is that you?"

Her voice was aggrieved, this couldn't be blamed on her, this place was too weird, she didn't even know if the person beside her was a person or not.

The man stood up and his deep gaze fell on her. "What do you think?"

Mo Xian thought about it, his tone and everything else were the same as before, but she still had a method to confirm, so she carefully moved forward and finally caught a whiff of the faint scent of sandalwood.

Her heart relaxed. "It's you."

She slowly sat back down and surveyed her surroundings. The decorations were very unique and ancient, with bamboo or plum blossoms hanging on the walls.

"Where is this?" Didn't we enter the Gate of Wonder? "

Qi Huaizhao reclined on the bed. Even though the person had a beautiful appearance, he had an imposing manner, as though he was a person with authority.

His beautiful eyes drooped, "This is the world within the Gate of Wonder."

"Isn't it possible that if we step on the Gate of Wonder, we will die?" Mo Xian was stunned.

"If you step on a door of death, you will immediately die. If you enter the Gate of Wonder or the Gate of Pain, as long as you leave well, you will still have a chance to leave." Qi Huaizhao patiently explained to her.

"Then how do we get there?"

"That may be so. After all, the world inside every door is different. It depends on what we encounter. Don't worry, someone will naturally notify us. "

Mo Xian heard and immediately felt relieved. Since Qi Huaizhao had said so, he could only wait.

"Oh yes, why did you follow me in? You could have avoided coming in. Furthermore, if I enter the gate of death, wouldn't that mean that both of us are crying out for our lives? "

Mo Xian thought about it, he was not related to him in any way, why would he do such a thing? He really wanted to understand this question, so he asked directly.

Qi Huaizhao looked at her. She couldn't understand the emotions in those eyes, but she couldn't see the slightest bit of emotion within them.

After a long while, he finally spat out a sentence, "I won't let you die."

Mo Xian's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Regardless if he was interested or not, this sentence was already enough to move others. Her heart throbbed, wanting to forcibly suppress it, but she was unable to do so. Even if she were to speak louder, she suspected that Qi Huaizhao would be able to hear her heartbeat.

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

Qi Huaizhao got off the bed with his long legs, and followed along.

A servant wearing a dark blue servant uniform stood at the door, "Please gather in the hall, our master will begin to explain the things to pay attention to when visiting this place."

He was completely lifeless, like a paper man. Even the smile on his face seemed glued to it.

Qi Huaizhao remained calm: "Ok, we'll go out later."

Mo Xian kept the strange feeling, and watched the servant leave.

"Looks like we're tourists in this world." Qi Huaizhao said indifferently.

"Then the master is going to give us a clue about leaving the Gate of Wonder?" Mo Xian asked.

"Probably."

Mo Xian thought that he had to listen carefully.

Qi Huaizhao and Mo Xian did not have much to prepare, and after a while, they came out to the hall, where an unpleasant odor lingered around, and saw that there were a few scattered people.

Mo Xian counted with his eyes. There were about seven, adding the two of them, there were a total of nine tourists.

The few of them looked at Qi Huaizhao with a somewhat fearful gaze. Most of them walked towards each other, and Mo Xian realized that there was only one lonely person, a timid girl who had been crying the entire time.

Mo Xian thought that these people should be the same as them, they should be the ones who barged into the Gate of Wonder.

"Is everyone here?" A child's voice suddenly rang out in everyone's mind, startling them all.

"Who?" Who exactly is playing tricks on us!? " A bearded man shouted out coldly.

Mo Xian pursed his lips, coming in here, how could he still dare to doubt that this was all an act? This was a strange world.

The child's voice did not reply, continuing to speak what he wanted to say.

"With everyone present, we can start searching for the culprit. You guys only have seven days, do you see that corpse on the table? "

With his reminder, everyone's eyes landed on the table not far away. Unexpectedly, a small corpse appeared out of nowhere. It was hard to tell its facial features. It was unknown if it was because its bones were originally so small, or because it had shrunk after being burnt. No actual age was discernible.

That timid girl directly vomited.

Mo Xian was thinking, so this was the source of the horrible smell.

"Aren't we here to visit?" Someone asked curiously.

"Yeah, you guys came to visit the corpses."

The crowd was silent. What a strange master. However, the situation itself was strange.

"What do we need to pay attention to?" This time, it was Qi Huaizhao who spoke. When he spoke, everyone seemed to be afraid and didn't dare to make any more noise.

The child's voice chuckled. "First, you are not allowed to enter the main room at the end of the corridor. Second, you are to appear at the dining table on time before nightfall every day. Third, you only have seven days to find the culprit. If you can't find it ? "Tsk, tsk, tsk."

He laughed again, his voice sharp enough to sink into a man's head.

Everyone knew that if they couldn't find the killer within seven days, they would all die.

"I forgot a very important thing. If anyone finds the murderer, they would circle around the burnt corpse and say," Go and play! "As they ran, I would appear. Whoever finds the culprit first will not have to die. "

After the voice finished speaking, it completely disappeared from his ears.

After the conditions were met, the crowd started to panic. How in the world were they supposed to look for them? He didn't have any background, and he didn't even know who this burnt corpse was.

Mo Xian followed Qi Huaizhao to a black walnut chair at the side and sat down. She couldn't wait to ask, "There are so few clues, how do we find them?"

Qi Huaizhao pondered for a moment, "Don't worry, we can find him at the inn last time, and he will be fine here."

Fragments of words flashed across Mo Xian's mind. She wanted to tell Qi Huaizhao her guess, but the little girl who was originally crying in a corner walked over.

She timidly looked at Qi Huaizhao, her face slightly red, and asked, "May I accompany you to find the culprit?"

Since she did not ask him, Mo Xian did not reply, but she did ask the wrong person.

Sure enough, as Mo Xian expected, the man cleanly rejected her, "Sorry, I can't."

Only then did she turn her gaze to Mo Xian. However, it was already too late, for something that Qi Huaizhao did not agree to, how could she dare to agree so casually?

"I'm sorry." She only said this one sentence and no longer spoke.

At that moment, a man wearing a green robe walked over and said gently, "Miss, can you look for a group? Why don't you come with us? "

The girl looked hesitantly at him and his companion.

"Don't worry, I'm not a bad person. My name is Cui Yuan." Cui Yuan smiled with a hint of gentleness. Only Mo Xian noticed the craftiness that flashed past his eyes.

"This little girl Mu Feifei, I'll respectfully accept your request." Mu Feifei immediately followed Cui Yuan and walked over, not even sparing Qi Huaizhao and Mo Xian a glance.

They didn't care too much about it. The charred corpse on the table was surrounded by a few people, but no one dared to circle around. It was as if they were trying to find any clues from him.

"Shall we go?" Mo Xian suggested. She did not really want to stay, the smell was too bad. The thought of having to eat here tonight made her feel nauseous.

Qi Huaizhao nodded, "Since we are here as tourists, it would be best for us to go around the vicinity."

The two discovered that they were in a large garden, probably built to shelter from the heat. There were many flowers, trees, bees and butterflies lingering around it. The outside was full of life, but inside was lifeless.

Qi Huaizhao walked very quickly and had to jog to keep up with him. When she was about to walk across a courtyard, she tripped over something and almost fell down flat on her face. She couldn't help but scold Qi Huaizhao in her heart, this dog-man who didn't know how to show mercy to women.

"Wait!" Her gaze suddenly swept over something.

Qi Huaizhao stopped walking and turned his head to ask: "What's wrong?"

"Look, there's a slight depression here."

Mo Xian was referring to a wooden pillar that was as thick as a man's arm, "How long will it take to leave a dent on such a thick pillar, or how much strength do you have?"

Qi Huaizhao's black eyes were gloomy, as though he was thinking about something, "This is the binding mark of the iron chain."

Mo Xian looked again carefully at what he said, and it really fit right. This was because there were a lot of depressions that fell in irregular patterns, and only the iron chain was in that shape.

The wooden pillars here had been tied to something for a long time.

Although it was an inconspicuous clue, Mo Xian still remembered it.

She suddenly recalled what she had wanted to tell him back in the hall. "Oh right, there are a few things I want to tell you."

Qi Huaizhao stared at her, indicating for her to speak.

Mo Xian then told Qi Huaizhao about the news he got from the female workers when he was bathing, including why he couldn't mention about the children in the mansion.

Finally she saw the body move and followed it down to the cellar.

Qi Huaizhao looked at her and said, "I am clear about what happens afterwards. Previously, you thought that corpse was the third son of Mother Su? "

Mo Xian nodded, "I think it's most likely the case."

Qi Huaizhao paused for a moment, and then told her the reason why he went and didn't return for half a night.
