It's not too much to say that a beauty is a little bit stronger

After walking for a while, the sound of music gradually rang in Xiao Huai's ears.

And a familiar fragrance also diffused in the air.

He subconsciously turned his head and saw Lu Yuanshi standing next to a pillar not far away.

The halo of candlelight made his outline more distinct.

Lu Yuanshi seemed to be waiting for Xiao Huai to discover his presence and immediately came over.

"Baby, I've been waiting for you so hard."

Xiao Huai chuckled after hearing this: "Then you can come in and find me."

Lu Yuanshi sighed: "I'm afraid I can't enter his domain."

Xiao Huai's eyes darkened slightly. Is there a place here that Lu Yuanshi can't enter?

But soon, Lu Yuanshi raised the corner of his mouth, "Just kidding. As long as I want, I can find you even if we are thousands of miles apart."

"So, you deliberately left me alone with him."

Lu Yuanshi leaned close to Xiao Huai without anyone noticing, and their hair became tangled together.

"Otherwise, how could you meet that cunning guy?"

Judging from Lu Yuanshi's tone, he seemed to be very familiar with Jiang Fu.

Lu Yuanshi also understood that Xiao Huai must be curious, and said in a calm voice: "This is all one person's property."

"The Zhou Dynasty's Imperial Master—Jiang Fu."

Lu Yuanshi uttered the name calmly, but his eyes fell on the deep corridor in front of him, as if he saw something farther through the darkness.

A chaotic sound of footsteps came from the end of the corridor, getting closer and closer.

Xiao Huai and Lu Yuanshi looked towards the source of the sound almost at the same time, and saw a team of black-eyed soldiers appearing in the corridor with neat but heavy steps.

They held halberds in their hands, and their armor reflected a cold luster in the dim candlelight.

The leader was a eunuch with fluttering sleeves, a pale face, and a feminine yet sharp voice:

"Curfew has arrived! Everyone must go to their rooms and rest immediately. No one is allowed to leave their rooms at night."

A strange sly smile appeared on his face: "Otherwise, you will bear the consequences if something goes wrong."

Xiao Huai and Lu Yuanshi exchanged glances.

They entered an empty room tacitly.

The room was simply furnished with only a table and a bed.

After the door closed, the original noise in the building gradually dissipated, as if the mute button was pressed.

Even the sounds of music, laughter, and even people's conversations disappeared completely, leaving only dead silence.

Xiao Huai leaned against the door, his eyes moved slightly, and he noticed that the candles outside the corridor were extinguished one after another, and darkness began to cover the entire space.

He looked calm but with a hint of vigilance.

Just as he was focusing on the light, a stronger smell of blood suddenly floated in the air, which was very pungent.

Xiao Huai half-closed his eyes, quietly sensing the situation outside.

However, at this moment.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

There was a sudden and violent knock on the door, causing the door panel to tremble slightly.

Xiao Huai could hear someone in the next room starting to ask who had raised the question.

"Who? Who's outside?" Their voices sounded a little frightened.

But there was no response from outside the door, only the knocking sound, which was rapid and strange.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

"Bang, bang, bang!"

The knocking sound spread from the end of the corridor like a tide, and it seemed that every door was being knocked frantically by something.

The sounds came one after another, with no regular pattern, but so dense that it made people feel cold, as if countless hands were banging on the door at the same time.

Xiao Huai remained silent. He found that the force of those knocking on the door was too even and too persistent, like some kind of mechanical action.

It was like a group of irrational things were executing a monotonous but crazy order.

Less than a few minutes later, the knocking on the door suddenly became more urgent, almost becoming a continuous banging.

The door panel creaked, as if it would be knocked open by some force at any time.

People around were already starting to whimper in fear.

But just when they thought the door would be kicked open.

All the sounds stopped abruptly in an instant.

Xiao Huai's gaze fell on the narrow gap under the door.

Through the less than an inch gap in the door, he saw the light and shadow outside the corridor changing subtly.

At first, the light and shadow only swayed slightly, as if the candle flame was blown by the wind.

But soon, the light and shadow suddenly stopped.

A blurry figure suddenly stopped in front of the door. The black shadow blocked the dim light and shrouded the door, forming an oppressive shadow.

Xiao Huai could clearly see that the figure was standing motionless at the door, with his head slightly lowered, as if staring at him through the crack in the door.

Xiao Huai's fingertips tightened slightly, there was no fluctuation between his brows, only the red light in his eyes became deeper.

But before he could move his eyes away, the light and shadow outside the door began to move again.

This time, there was more than just a shadow.

More shadows slowly emerged from the depths of the corridor, overlapping with each other, with twisted shapes, like a group of ragged human figures, walking stiffly but approaching here in unison.

At that moment, the air outside the door froze and was silent.

Outside the crack of the door, something suddenly squatted down slowly and moved close to the crack.

Xiao Huai could see clearly that it was a pale and bony hand. The fingertips gently scratched the ground, making a harsh friction sound.

The fingernails on his hands were long and pointed, emitting a faint cold light.

The next moment, a blurry face suddenly pressed against the crack of the door!

The skin on his cheeks was so pale that it was almost transparent, his eye sockets were sunken and as dark as the abyss, and he stared at Xiao Huai inside the door.

No eyeballs.

The face remained motionless, the corners of the mouth stretched to an exaggerated degree, forming a stiff and sinister smile.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Suddenly, screams were heard all around.

Although Xiao Huai was a little scared, his reaction was not so exaggerated.

He was just a little curious as to why this place suddenly became so strange.

And everyone cooperated and hid in the room.

This is not reasonable.

Outside the door, the face was still staring at him quietly, and then it slowly... laughed out loud.

"Heh...hehe...hehehehe..."

The laughter sounded like the sound of a worn-out puppet being pulled, and it was particularly piercing in the silence.

There was more than one laugh, more and more laughs came from all around.

Just as Xiao Huai was lost in thought, a burst of impatient noise suddenly came from the next room.

"I can't stand it! I can't stay here! I need to get out!"

The voice was filled with obvious panic and anger, as if the person had been pushed to the extreme.

Then, another panicked voice lowered its voice and said with great dissuasion: "Are you crazy? It's curfew at Gechunlou! If you leave the room, you will die! Do you understand the rules?"

"Rules? What bullshit rules!" The man's voice was trembling, but full of anger.

"I'm here to spend money and have fun, not to be scared! If you stay here, I won't keep you company!"
