After being conquered by a silly and sweet girl, I became the richest man in the world
Chapter 96 Sleep Paralysis (3)
Chu Yizi walked out of the room and saw the whole picture of the house.
As no one has lived in this old house for many years, it is already filled with dead branches and leaves. Now that it is October, there are even more fallen leaves.
The most eye-catching one is the jujube tree in the middle of the yard. This jujube tree is really a towering tree, and it occupies almost one-tenth of the yard.
There was a well next to the jujube tree, and a cut hemp rope was placed beside the well. Because the moonlight was a little dim, Chu Yizi could not see the specific color of the hemp rope.
But he could see the date tree clearly.
It's very strange. October is clearly the time when all the dates should be ripe, but it seems like it has just produced fruit, and there are not even a few red dates.
Chu Yizi was a little confused. This was the only jujube tree in such a big yard, and there was no other tree competing with it for sunlight, so why did it mature so late?
The wind was a little cold in the evening. The cold wind entered Chu Yizi's throat, choking him and making him cough twice.
He withdrew his thoughts. The most urgent task now was not to study the tree, so he had to give up the idea of going over to find out.
Before entering the house, Chu Luhua asked someone to lock the door from the outside.
There is no need to worry about Mu Qiu Shui running away.
He shouted sorry three times in his heart, but still went room by room to look for Mu Qiu Shui's trace.
Just say a few words, really just a few words! But please don't lower your favorability any more.
I hope Mu Qiu Shui doesn’t run too far, otherwise he is really worried that his body won’t be able to take it.
The night wind was a little cold. His clothes looked loose but not thick. In addition, due to his physical condition, Chu Yizi was shivering a little.
For some reason, he always had a familiar feeling of being watched.
Chu Yizi was very sensitive to this kind of gaze, because it was just like the extreme fans he encountered when he was in the entertainment industry before.
I haven't felt this way in a long time.
The feeling of being watched, with nowhere to hide, and nowhere to hide. It was as if there was a big invisible net, and no matter how he walked or where he went, he would always be in this net.
Chu Yizi's eyes turned cold and he couldn't help but clench his fists.
It seems that there are not only him and Mu Qiu Shui in this house. There must be someone behind the scenes who is closely watching their whereabouts.
I just don't know whether this person is here to save Mu Qiu Shui or to kill him.
Chu Luhua is the only heir of the Chu family. Even though he has a weak constitution, he looks like he will not live long every day.
But there are also many people watching him from behind.
Be they competitors, family enemies, or other people with whom they have conflicts, they all stared at Chu Luhua closely.
It seemed that if anything went wrong with him, they would immediately pounce on him and devour the Chu family.
For this reason, Chu Luhua usually brings many bodyguards with him when he goes out to prevent his enemies from taking advantage of him.
But he was too crazy. Today, because of Mu Qiu Shui, he came to this house alone.
According to Chu Luhua's memory, Chu Yizi knew that the door would not be opened before dawn. This was something Chu Luhua himself ordered people to do.
He did this to prevent Mu Qiu Shui from escaping and to prevent Li An from coming to snatch her away and delay time.
I just didn't expect that I would be included in the conspiracy.
In the original plot, he and Mu Qiu Shui stayed in the room for a whole night and quarreled all night, and they didn't even notice that there was someone there.
But it is not ruled out that the butterfly effect occurred because of Chu Yizi's arrival.
If he hadn't received this physical condition, Chu Yizi would still have some confidence. But with his current condition, let alone fighting with others, he might not even be able to escape.
What's worse is that now the enemy is in the dark and he is in the light. His every move is under the other side's surveillance, so he cannot act rashly.
Chu Yizi's heart was in suspense for a moment, and suddenly he realized a problem.
No, he is now the male protagonist, the son of luck, and the center of the plot. He remembered that the quick-travel manual said that the son of luck would not die easily.
No matter what he encounters, the son of luck can always overcome the danger in the end.
The plot is only halfway through now. If he dies, the plot can't go on. If the plot can't go on, the world will collapse, so he is safe for the time being.
As long as you don't die, there's nothing to worry about.
Thinking of this, Chu Yizi breathed a sigh of relief and no longer paid attention to the prying gaze.
The most urgent thing is to find Mu Qiu Shui and finish the unfinished lines. It won't be too late to deal with other things later.
Chu Yizi began to search room by room. There were no lights in this old house. There were only a few candles in each room. It was night time, so the house was a little dark.
He picked up the matches he had just found, opened the room on his right and walked in.
The strong smell of mold and dust made his nose sore and he started coughing violently again.
At this time, a cold wind blew, and the wind chimes on the eaves swayed with the wind, making a tinkling sound, which seemed a little abrupt in the quiet and dark room.
Chu Yizi immediately became alert. Why didn’t he see any wind chimes when he pushed the door just now?
There were no candles in the room and it was pitch dark.
Through the faint moonlight, he tilted his head and looked up at the eaves -
There are indeed two wind chimes.
Chu Yizi felt relieved and began to think about the possibility that Mu Qiu Shui was in this room.
It would be difficult for a girl like her to hide in a room like this. After all, this room was the farthest from the previous one, and she would be discovered if she hid here.
Moreover, it had been less than 20 minutes since he came out of the room. Even if Mu Qiu Shui had wings, it was impossible for him to run away so quickly.
But he just searched several rooms and didn't see any trace of Mu Qiu Shui.
Or……
This house actually has another exit? Has Mu Qiushui already escaped through that other exit?
Was the prying look just now actually someone sent by Mu Qiu Shui to kill him?
This is not impossible.
But from what he could see right now, Mu Qiushui was definitely not in this room, because when he pushed open the door just now, a spider web fell on it.
If Mu Qiu Shui was in this room, the spider web should have fallen on Mu Qiu Shui, instead of falling on his head after he pushed open the door.
Chu Yizi pulled the spider web off his hair and was about to go out——
Squeak!
The shabby old wooden door made a slight sound and then closed by itself due to the wind.
When he opened the door just now, there was still a ray of moonlight shining through. Now that the door was closed and there were no candles around, Chu Yizi really became blind.
It was a little dark here, and Chu Yizi thought of the matches in his hand, so he took out one and started to strike -
The matchbox was relatively small, so he found the end of the flame by feel and struck it hard -
Snapped!
The match that was intact just now broke! And there was not even a spark...
Chu Yizi looked around in surprise, but saw nothing.
He called out to Wangcai in his consciousness space—
【Tips: Your system is not online at the moment】
What's wrong with Wangcai? He never logs off at any time. He is always offline at the critical moment.
It was just like that last time in the cave in Dongting Lake, not at all competent.
With no other choice, Chu Yizi had to walk towards the door in the dark.
There is a strong musty smell in this house, which may be caused by years of disrepair and leaks.
Smelling the strong musty smell, he felt like coughing again.
The quality of this body is really poor. It has coughed several times since it came in.
He felt a little dizzy and picked up the box of matches again, wanting to try and see if he could create a flame.
Unexpectedly, just like last time, the match broke as soon as he took it out and struck it lightly, and there was no spark at all.
This situation was indeed a bit strange. The box of matches was clearly fine when he was in another room just now. How come it broke when he came here?
Chu Yizi was a little skeptical, so he took out another one and tried it -
Sure enough, it broke again.
He tried several sticks, and each one broke as soon as it touched the surface of the matchbox. They were even more brittle than the plastic benches that had been weathered by years of wind and sun.
If it was just one match, it would be understandable, but it was a bit unbelievable that the whole box of matches was like this...
They were fine just now, why did all the matches break as soon as they entered the room?
Is there some secret in this room?
He was thinking and not paying attention to his feet, when suddenly he stepped on something soft but hard.
Chu Yizi staggered after being knocked. He lowered his head to see what it was and heard another sound - squeak!
The wooden door was blown open by the wind again at some point. At this moment, a part of the wooden door was open, and the moonlight shone through the gap on the ground. He could see clearly what was on the ground - it was a hand!
A bloody, red hand!
I don't know when a strong wind started outside. The wooden door was swaying back and forth in the strong wind, making a creaking sound...
Chu Yizi carefully observed the hand. Although the palm was covered in blood, the wrist was very white, a very white color.
He tried striking the match again.
Strangely enough, this time a flame appeared immediately.
By the light of the fire, he could see the hand clearly.
The cross section of this hand up to the forearm is irregular, as if it was bitten by a wild beast.
Chu Yizi became wary. It was impossible for a hand to appear out of nowhere in such a dilapidated and uninhabited room without anyone thinking of something fishy.
This could only mean one thing, either someone else had entered this room before, or there was another person who was staring at him in the dark.
His heart sank, and he began to observe the room through the firelight.
As soon as he raised his head, Chu Yizi was startled!
Because there is a huge bronze mirror in front of it.
It seemed as if this bronze mirror appeared out of thin air. When he passed by here just now, there was nothing there. How come there was suddenly a bronze mirror now?
Suddenly, Chu Yizi's pupils dilated——
Apart from himself, nothing else can be seen in this bronze mirror!
He can see himself, but he can't see anything around him, which should obviously be within the range of the same mirror!
There's something wrong with this room!
Something is very wrong!
He was about to walk over to take a closer look at the bronze mirror when something even stranger happened—
Just now, there was only another thing that appeared in his bronze mirror——
The well in the yard!
Chu Yizi was greatly shocked and thought that it was not advisable to stay here for long, so he wanted to run away immediately to get away from the bronze mirror!
But he had only taken two steps when he stepped on something again.
He didn't care about his feet and just wanted to get out of this gloomy room as soon as possible.
But things are unpredictable. Because he walked too fast, he slipped and fell to the ground.
Chu Yizi struggled twice and finally stood up...
In a hurry, he unconsciously took another look at the bronze mirror. The match had gone out when he fell just now. Without the reflection of the fire, he could see everything clearly in the bronze mirror!
The things on it changed again. A dark shadow vaguely emerged on the slightly glowing bronze mirror, and then the dark shadow gradually became clearer, and finally a human face appeared -
Chu Yizi widened his eyes in disbelief!
