Christmas

Behind the door is a very spacious hall. In the center of the hall, there are four thick stone pillars. The stone pillars are also carved with complicated patterns like the door panel.

There is a stone platform in the middle of the four pillars, and a black wooden chair is placed on the stone platform.

Looking at the strange layout here, the two slowly walked up to the stage and observed carefully.

Letting go of Shi Xie's hand, Xia Yao stood holding on to the handle of the chair, not daring to sit down, so he had to observe what happened to the chair.

The hard work paid off, and after searching for a while, the two finally found a small mechanism under the chair. After obtaining Shi Xie's consent, Xia Yao pressed it without any pressure.

All I heard was the sudden sound of gears turning in the empty hall, and the wall behind the third pillar began to move slowly, and a faint light leaked out from the crack in the door.

Seeing the brighter and brighter light, Shi Xie and Xia Yao looked at each other and smiled in surprise, and walked towards the bright place with each other's support.

Behind the door is a long passage, and there are oil lamps every two meters on the walls on both sides of the passage, emitting a faint light from time to time.

There is also an indescribable smell in the passage, which is disgusting and has a strange fragrance.

Xia Yao covered his nose and frowned in discomfort.

"Shi Xie, this smell... seems somewhat similar to the smell in Zhang Sicong's room."

Shi Xie nodded, took Xia Yao's hand and walked to one of the oil lamps, raised his hand to touch the oil lamp, and some black oil stained his fingers.

Shi Xie put his finger under his nose and smelled it, and frowned instantly.

"This is corpse oil, that's why these oil lamps can keep burning in such a humid passage, and judging from the amount of oil left in the oil lamp, someone should come to fill it up regularly."

"Corpse oil!? Is it refined from corpses?"

''present,,

Seeing Shi Xie nodded calmly, Xia Yao rubbed his nose and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, but fortunately, he had seen many of them before, so he didn't show too violent behavior.

"However, shouldn't the corpse oil only have a rancid smell? Why is there a scent in it?"

What Xia Yao said happened to be what Shi Xie was most worried about, because he didn't know what the fragrance was.

However, he was sure that this fragrance must have a great relationship with the Gu on Zhang Sicong's body.

"Let's find a way out first, it's not safe here."

Holding Xia Yao's hand, the two walked side by side in the passage. In order to save energy, the two stopped communicating. The long passage was suddenly quiet, and only occasionally heard sparks exploding from the oil lamp. sound.

I don't know how long it took to walk, Xia Yao was a little tired after walking, but he still didn't see the exit of the passage.

Stopping and looking at the dark passage ahead, Xia Yao couldn't help but feel a little dejected.

"What's this……"

Xia Yao, who was interrupted, was not angry either, and followed Shi Xie's example and listened with his ears sideways. He only heard a few sounds of insects flapping their wings, but it was particularly loud in the empty passage.

Just when he touched his ears and was about to say something, Xia Yao raised his head and saw something like a big cloud of black mist suddenly pouring out of the passage in front of them.That thing was flying towards them quickly, just looking at the dense black mass made Xia Yao's scalp tingle.
