"You came for this gem?" A cold voice suddenly sounded from behind him.

Meng Xiaodie turned around and saw a black shadow standing behind her. She didn't know how long this black shadow had been standing there. That black shadow was especially huge, and the entire shadow covered him. The silhouette of the black shadow seemed to be indistinct, drifting about in the dim light.

"Who are you? Is it a human or a ghost? " Meng Xiaodie felt a chill down her spine. She had never experienced such a psychological reaction before.

"Hmph hmph hmph! Are you still afraid of ghosts, Meng Xiaodie?" The shadow came closer and closer, as if reaching out with a huge arm to pinch his neck.

Just as Meng Xiaodie was about to pull out her black sword, three people jumped in from outside. Jiang Bufan was in front, with Yue Peng and Hong Kun following closely behind.

That darkness disappeared in a flash. Meng Xiaodie looked around and asked Jiang Qisha, "When you came in, did you see a black shadow?"

Jiang Xian shook his head doubtfully, "Aren't you the only one in this hall?" Jiang Bufan was also secretly surprised. He could see a trace of terror in Meng Xiaodie's eyes.

Wasn't this the style of Meng Xiaodie, the heartless black sword? Was there anything else that could strike fear into his heart?

"Did you see something?"

"I saw a black shadow."

As soon as Meng Xiaodie finished her sentence, Yue Peng and Hong Kun laughed contemptuously, "Isn't it just a black shadow? What's there to be afraid of?" "Looks like..."

Hong Kun wanted to say something even more unpleasant, but he was stopped by Jiang Bufan.

Actually, Meng Xiaodie was also surprised. He had never felt this kind of fear and uneasiness before. He had experienced even more terrifying things than this countless times. Was a black shadow already so terrifying? He took a deep breath. The fear was long gone, but there was still cold sweat on his back.

Jiang Bufan looked around and asked doubtfully, "Wait, where is the room where the jewelry was hidden?"

"Disappeared." Meng Xiaodie said in a low voice.

"Disappeared? How is that possible?" Yue Peng and Hong Kun looked around. There was nothing but walls.

"Did you hide the jewelry for us to see?" Yue Peng asked angrily.

"There were originally five empty rooms, and I had a fight with a man named Green Eye Dwarf in one of them."

"Green Eyed Dwarf?" What dogshit Green Eyed Dwarf, and even Red Eyed Spider? Constable Jiang, I think it must be because of this person. " Hong Kun tilted his head and stared at Meng Xiaodie with malicious intent.

"How could it disappear for no reason? This is unbelievable!" Jiang Bufan knocked on the wall. Although he felt it was strange, he didn't think that Meng Xiaodie would change the place into an empty room in such a short amount of time. He lowered his head and saw the pearl in Meng Xiaodie's hand.

"The one in hero Meng's hand is …"

"Oh, a jade bead." Meng Xiaodie handed it over.

Jiang Bufan took the bead and looked at it. He felt that this bead was very familiar to him. It felt like he had seen it somewhere before, but he could not recall where.

"Did you get this from the jewel house?" Hong Kun said doubtfully.

"If I want it, do I have to show it to you?" Meng Xiaodie asked in a cold voice.

"That's true. If he wanted to take it, he wouldn't take such an unremarkable thing." Yue Peng looked at the black pearl. "

"No, you are wrong." Jiang Bufan shook his head, "This is not an ordinary pearl. This is a rarely seen tiger's eye in this world. There should be four of them, but I don't know why I found one here."

Jiang Bufan held the pearl close to the window and carefully looked at it, saying in surprise: "It really is a rare jewel in the world, you see, it's blue, yellow and black, called the Blue Tiger's Eye Stone. The Tiger's Eye Stone is often called" noble gem "by people, and it belongs to one of the five great precious gems in the world, and furthermore, this head is so big, could it really be one of the four tiger's eyes?"

"Constable Jiang, what are you talking about?" What four tiger eyes? " Yue Peng asked in confusion.

Jiang Feifan was startled for a moment before he looked at Meng Xiaodie with a smile and said, "According to legend, there are four Tiger Eye Pearls stored in the mansion of the Night Spirit King, known as the rare treasure. Jiang Feifan was startled for a moment, looked at Meng Xiaodie with a smile and said," According to legend, there are four Tiger Eye Pearls stored in the mansion of the Night Spirit King with a special crystal structure, known as the rare treasure.

Meng Xiaodie walked outside all day and was not interested in jewelry. He had naturally never heard of any Tiger Eye Jewels and knew nothing about them.

"Then how do you know this is one of them?" Yue Peng asked again, his face revealing a rare look of curiosity.

"I heard that two years ago, the four Tiger Eye Stones hidden in the mansion suddenly disappeared. The prince was extremely angry and ordered the investigation, but after two years, there was no result."

"The Mage City is the most remote town under the jurisdiction of the Night Spirit King, why would the Tiger Eye Jewel come here?" Hong Kun asked doubtfully.

"This is undoubtedly related to the Steel Abacus. He is a famous bandit, even daring to steal treasures from the imperial palace, let alone a small palace. "

"Where's Iron-bound people?" Jiang Feifan suddenly remembered as he hastily searched left and right.

"He went with those rooms and disappeared without a trace." Meng Xiaodie said.

Astonishment appeared on Jiang Bufan's face, but he didn't say anything more. He walked around the hall and stared at the sculpture in a daze.

"Meng Xiaodie, the sky is already dark. I have to hurry and report to the mayor about the situation here. Where do you plan to spend the night?"

"I'll stay here for the night."

"Here? This place is too strange. Don't you worry about what will happen? "

"I was hoping something would happen." Meng Xiaodie smiled.

"As expected of the ruthless black sword Meng Xiaodie, I wish you good luck."

Jiang Bufan cupped his fist as he disappeared into the rain curtain with Yue Peng and Hong Kun.

Meng Xiaodie went back to that room. He felt that there was a change in the room, but he couldn't tell what it was at the moment.

Outside, the rain was falling fast and slow. He leaned against the bed, hugged his sword to his chest, and closed his eyes to rest his mind. Then he heard a noise in the room, which seemed to be in the wall. He leaned against the wall and listened carefully, and the sound seemed to be in the other wall, and as he looked forward, he saw that there was a piece of bark in the corner, which he hadn't seen when he came in. He remembered very clearly that there was only one bed in the room.

The bark of the tree was dark red, as if it had been soaked in blood. It leaned against the wall like a pool of solidified blood.

It seemed that someone had been in this room before, but why would this person place a bloody piece of bark here? Was he trying to hint at something?

Meng Xiaodie looked at it for a while. He noticed that there was a line of words carved on the bark: Death Castle ends with death.
