Gu Zuo has an idea, although he doesn't know if it's feasible—"No matter what, let's try it?" Hong Ye spoke so positively.

"It's like this, the black hole that took me out of the world, as long as I go through it, I can come to a strange courtyard, where there will always be a strange girl waiting for me, those of you who are willing to accompany me through the world, sit On the chair, it's weird... in a coma", Gu Zuo used three weird words to describe it in one breath, because he really couldn't find any other adjectives.

In that graceful and elegant open-air courtyard, accompanied by the sound of spring water wafting, the girl holding a teacup and looking extremely quiet saw him, but only yelled to finish the time travel thesis, and then drove him to the next world.

By the way, that girl's name is Xuanxuan. Although she only introduced herself once, for some reason Gu Zuo was very impressed and couldn't forget it.

Occasionally she would remind Gu Zuo to be careful of Yaxiu.

Now it seems that she can predict something in advance.

"If my identity is found out and someone realizes that I don't belong to this world, then I will be forced to travel through." Gu Zuo repeated the rules that Xuanxuan told him at the time.

"From my situation at the time, no matter whether someone intends to investigate you, or you take the initiative to expose your identity, as long as you become suspicious, you can leave this world." Yimu Lian shook his head with a smile, "This is really full of loopholes. rules."

Back when he thought that Gu Zuo would pass through that black hole and leave himself here, he was so scared to death.But now it seems...

"Then will Yaxiu appear in that courtyard together?" Hongye also began to understand what Yimulian wanted to say, and then he turned around and asked Gu Zuo, "If we leave Yaxiu and go to another world, can we do it?" ?”

Although Hongye's method is a bit naive, if you can get rid of Ash without any effort, even Yimulian will start to consider the feasibility of this method, "Can it be done? This kind of thing?"

"..."

After a long time, Gu Zuo said, "Or...try?"

"Okay." Hongye shook her head happily, "Then who should we start with? James?"

James is a member of the black sect in charge of this area. He rushed to the train station to pick up Gu Zuo and others, but because Gu Zuo and others strayed into a strange uninhabited world, they didn't meet them because they encountered monsters.

He also provided handmade cookies before, because there are too many wonderful flavors, and even Yimulian is deeply impressed by him.

"James..." Yimu even mentioned his name this time, and there was a meaningful pause, the expression on his face was a little frozen, probably thinking of the indescribable taste of cookies, even his mouth was tightly closed Sip up.

"Really, a big man makes cookies."

Just as Yimulian murmured, Gu Zuo stood up.

"Although James is used, this is really a great idea, let's give it a try." Gu Zuo decided to talk to James first.

Speaking of which, he and James only had a few brief encounters.Every time Gu Zuo is strongly disguising himself, but this time he wants to expose his identity, which is really a strange experience.

Hongye also stood up at the same time, just like she had done millions of times, and followed behind Gu Zuo.But Gu Zuo smiled and shook his head, the meaning of that smile was to tell Hongye not to worry too much.

"Okay", Hongye seemed to compromise and stopped, no longer following closely, after all, it was just a conversation with James - Gu Zuo is an independent individual, no matter how much he likes it, it is impossible to talk to him all the time. Sticking to him, Hongye still understands this very well.

So Gu Zuo opened the door, and Hongye and Yimulian stayed in the room.

The two men who were left behind looked at each other with wry smiles on their faces.Yimulian swallowed his saliva involuntarily in order not to remember Cookie's question.

But Hongye was a little worried, and he didn't understand why, but he had a vague feeling... Will everything really go as smoothly as they thought?

"James? Are you there?"

Gently knocked on James' door, but no one responded, so Gu Zuo had to go to the kitchen to look for James.He really didn't want James to be making those weird cookies again, but there was no James in the kitchen, in the courtyard, anywhere.

'Did you go shopping? Thinking so, Gu Zuo turned and walked towards his room.

Just as he was about to return to the door of the room, he suddenly found that the door next to the room where he lived, which was supposed to be closed, hadn't closed.

At the beginning, James gave up the best suite facing south to Gu Zuo. There were two rooms in this very luxurious executive room. He kept saying that he didn't need a bed, so it happened that Gu Zuo and Hongye shared one room.

After only staying for two days, Gu Zuo only went in and out of the house a few times, but most of the doors were locked.James said that because this small town is located in a remote place, there are no special demons haunting it. Although it is the gathering place of the black religious order, it is not very big, and it has no connection with the central government. It is better to live a rural hermit life.

Therefore, most of the rooms in the mansion have long been in use and were locked by James.

'Did I remember wrongly?I clearly remember that the door here is...', Gu Zuo pushed open the slightly open door, and he saw James standing beside the bed.

"James, are you here? Are you cleaning the room?" Gu Zuo wanted to praise James for his hard work, but just as he was approaching James, Hongye and Yimulian's conversation came from the window.

"That cookie smells like hell."

"Haha, it's not such an exaggeration."

The window of Gu Zuo's room was not closed, so when James next door opened the window, he could naturally hear the conversation in the next room.

"I'm really sorry, I've been bothering you all this time," Gu Zuo stepped forward to close the window for James, subconsciously apologizing.

After Gu Zuo finished speaking, he regretted it.He is the marshal of exorcism, and should be the supreme status in this world, but he said sorry to an ordinary teacher.

Probably because he was afraid of Gu Zuo's identity, the moment he approached, James took a big step back, as if he was hiding in the shadow of the corner, unwilling to come out.

For some reason, the brightly lit room suddenly became much darker after the windows were closed.

"Pfft."

Gu Zuo's ears moved, obviously he heard a slight but very strange sound coming from the corner beyond the door, he turned around and realized - there was nothing there, just a burning candle, maybe that sound was a candle the sound made.

Sure enough, as he expected, the burning candle made a crackling sound again, and the candle wick melted, just like the awkward atmosphere in the room.

"Then...I'll go back first, James", Gu Zuo showed his smile as much as possible, gentle... with a little dignity, straightened his body and nodded towards James.

"Well," James shook his head slightly.

Whether James was nodding or shaking his head, Gu Zuo looked down on his expression.

Except for the cover of bangs, James, who was half in the dim light from the candlelight and half hidden in the darkness, looked a little strange.

"James?"

Gu Zuo tried to call out the other party's name again.

"Yes, Marshal," James bowed his head to him, respectful as usual, "I'm at your disposal, little one."

"...", Gu Zuo raised the corner of his mouth bitterly, revealing a smirk, probably because he had become a little sensitive because he mentioned Yaxiu with Hongye and Yimulian.

There was nothing unusual about James. Gu Zuo nodded to him and left the room.When he came to the corridor, a gust of cold wind made Gu Zuo stop.

No, something is wrong.

There must be something wrong - Gu Zuo can hardly describe the indescribable feeling in his heart, but the sixth sense is strongly telling him something.

It's November in this world, and the winter here is not as difficult as he thought. As long as you light a candle in the room, Gu Zuo will feel very warm.

Even so, Gu Zuo asked for candles the first time he came to James' place, but the town is remote, and James didn't have anything special to do at night, so he always used coal stoves instead of candles, and didn't even burn candles. fireplace.

"Marshal, that's too extravagant." At that time, James frowned and replied to Gu Zuo with a sad expression on his face, blushing as if he had lost all his embarrassment.

"The candle in the room just now", Gu Zuo turned around, his hand was already on the doorknob, and everything that happened between him and James in this room just now kept turning in his mind.

"It seems... It seems that I will remember soon", Gu Zuo knew that he must have missed some signs, and he could already feel that something was wrong with James.

'Could it be... a demon? '

At the moment when Gu Zuo was wandering like this, the door that was originally closed unexpectedly opened again.

Gu Zuo, who was still holding the handle, was instantly brought down by the opponent's strength, and slammed into an embrace heavily.

Cold and nostalgic, Gu Zuo exhaled, white breath drifted into his nose, eyelids... He raised his head slightly, and saw the dark and dirty windows over the other's shoulder.

"Ah, right", Gu Zuo finally understood what was wrong.

Why didn't I think of it from the beginning?In such weather, neither he, Hongye, nor Yimulian would open the windows, because they all know that Gu Zuo hates the cold very much.

So those who cared about Gu Zuo would never keep the windows open in such weather, even Yimulian once boasted that under the care of his other eye, there would never be any windows open , there won't be any sinister wind coming in from the mansion, so Gu Zuo will feel much better when he leaves.

'When I stood at the window and saw the room here, the window was closed, why was it open? '

Gu Zuo raised his head, his left pupil twitched slightly, gradually turning into the blue sky.And the figure reflected in his pupils was not James.

"Ah, so that's the case", Gu Zuo understood, his intuition was right.

Because it was not James standing in front of him, but...
