When the system is flooded

Page 539

Xiang Beifei stared closely at the shop with "wine" written on the door, approached calmly, and looked inside through the half-open door.

It was pitch black inside, as if covered in a layer of black mist, without lights, it was impossible to see clearly what was going on inside.

Not only that, the darkness inside seems to be able to swallow people's perception, Xiang Beifei is still not sure what is inside.

He looked at the other shops on both sides of the street. These shops were all in good condition, with their doors open, as if they were welcoming customers, but the door of this shop was half closed, which seemed out of place.

What's so shady about this shop?

He stood at the door and watched for a while, wondering if he wanted to go in, but it seemed inappropriate to go in through the door rashly.

Turning his head, he saw that the window not far from the door was open. He decided to grope in through the window to see if he could catch the other party by surprise.

Xiang Beifei quietly moved to the window. This window can accommodate one person in and out, but it is very wide.

He jumped up, floated into the air, floating like a feather, and then drilled into the window with a very light posture.

Xiang Beifei raised his vigilance, his attention was tense, ready to deal with sudden attacks at any time.

However, what he didn't expect was that just as he entered the room, a faint light suddenly lit up in the room.

It was as if some existence in the house knew he was coming, and when he stepped here, turned on the lights to greet him.

Xiang Beifei was slightly taken aback.

He originally thought that he would have an advantage by groping in the dark, but the sudden light in the room disrupted his plan, and his movements were clearly visible, as if being clearly seen by the mysterious existence in the darkness.

But he quickly calmed down and looked at the situation in front of him.

This is like an old inn, with more than a dozen square tables arranged in an orderly manner, each table is placed with bamboo tubes, with chopsticks inserted in it.The dining stools were neatly placed upside down on the table, as if they had been tidied up after closing. The floor was spotless and very clean.

On the table closest to Xiang Beifei was an oil lamp, which was placed next to the chopsticks barrel. It was shining weakly and was crumbling. When he first came in, this lamp was lit, reflecting his own figure.

This table is not the same as other tables, because other tables and stools have been received on the tabletop, but the stools on this table have somehow been put back on the ground, as if it is ready to reopen.

He stood beside the table and looked at the table, and looked around the room by the light of the oil lamp. On the left was the counter. On the counter was a black abacus and an account book, which were placed quietly.

There are rows of cabinets behind the counter, and there are wine jars on them. The openings of the wine jars are covered with red cloth, the edges are tightly tied with ropes, and the edges of the openings are sealed with wax.

There is a piece of paper attached to the body of these wine jars, with the word "wine" written on it.

The whole inn exudes a strong fragrance, which is the smell of sweet-scented osmanthus wine. Xiang Beifei can't be wrong about this, he knows this kind of wine.

The aroma of the wine is refreshing, enough to be fragrant for ten miles.

But when Xiang Beifei was outside just now, he didn't smell such a strong aroma of wine. The aroma of sweet-scented osmanthus wine seemed to be limited to this restaurant.

This made him even more puzzled.

The whole inn is indescribably oppressive, it is obviously the place where the shop is opened, and it should be full of fireworks, but it looks uncomfortable and lifeless.

Using the oil lamp on the table, he started to walk forward, wanting to see what was in the inn.

But in order not to make too much noise, even when walking, it actually floats with spiritual power.

But as soon as he took a step, another clear voice came from the store.

clatter!clatter!clatter!

The sound came from the second floor of the shop, as if something was moving on the floor, and the footsteps were very slow.

And the footsteps were right above Xiang Beifei's head!

Xiang Beifei frowned, and he stopped moving forward.

However, the footsteps also stopped.

The sound was two meters above his head, separated by a thin wooden floor.

It happened to be this thin floor, Xiang Beifei just couldn't figure out what was walking on it, he couldn't get through it.

"Who's up there?"

Xiang Beifei wondered, is it the guy with the system interface that he saw just now?

He thought about it, this place was too weird, he wanted to figure it out no matter what.

Immediately, he started to move forward again.

clatter!clatter!clatter!

But as soon as he moved, the footsteps also started to move, in the same direction as he was walking.

One step away!

Two steps away!

The footsteps upstairs also moved one step, two steps...

There was no sound of footsteps on Xiang Beifei's side, but the sound of footsteps above him was undisguised.

Not only that, when Xiang Beifei moved in the inn, the lights in the room seemed to have changed.

Only at this time did he realize that the oil lamp on the table that came in first had been extinguished, but the oil lamp on the table closest to him suddenly flickered on.

Moreover, the upside-down stool on this table also began to roll silently, and automatically returned to the ground, as if an invisible guy had moved the stool off the table and arranged it neatly, ready to entertain Xiang Beifei. .

But when he left the range of the table, the stool of the table immediately turned back on the table, and the oil lamp went out.

Not all of the oil lamps were lit, but they followed his movement, turning off one by one, as if they were specially designed to light the way forward for him.

This scene made Xiang Beifei feel even more weird.

The most important thing is that the footsteps that have been moving with him, as if they know where he is, have been following him from the top of the building across the floor of the second floor, right above his head, unbiased, and the voice is exceptionally clear .

call!call!

The wind from the street outside seemed to blow in, making the whole inn even more shady.

He saw the stairs in front, which led to the second floor. There was a corner in the middle, and there were handrails on both sides. The fence of the stairs was carved with some patterns, which looked extraordinarily delicate.

"Xiao Hei, go up and have a look."

Xiang Beifei stopped in his tracks and communicated with Xiao Hei in his mind.

Xiao Hei is born invisible to others. Although the little guy looks as white as a ball of snow, he is born with a black belly and a lot of wit, so it is more beneficial to let him go out to inquire about the situation.

"Wang Wang!"

The little black gallant is much bigger than the Erha curled up in his pocket. Although there are weird things everywhere, it has nothing to worry about. He is not afraid of anything, so he immediately jumped towards the stairs.

call out!

Its speed was very fast, it just turned around the stairs in an instant and disappeared upstairs.

At the same time, Xiang Beifei also took another step forward. He had to make sure that the guy above his head was still there.

Hey!

There was another footstep on the second floor.

He took two steps forward, and the sound of footsteps followed him.

This shows that the other party is still there!

Then Xiao Hei will be able to find each other!

"Xiao Hei, did you see anything?" Xiang Beifei asked in his mind.

Strangely, Xiao Hei didn't respond right away.

"Xiao Hei?" Xiang Beifei asked again.

Still no response.

Xiang Beifei's heart skipped a beat.

For some reason, he felt as if... as if he had lost contact with Xiao Hei!

Not so good!

Xiang Beifei was even more surprised.

He and Xiao Hei have always had a tacit understanding, except when they use candle dragon eyes, they will be temporarily blocked from perception, and this situation will basically not happen in other cases.

However, just as Xiao Hei went to the second floor to inquire about the situation, he lost contact!

This is bad.

Could Xiao Hei, who can be invisible, also be discovered?

"Ow?"

Erha shivered, curled up in Xiang Beifei's pocket, and asked nervously if Xiao Hei would be taken away by something?

Xiang Beifei wasn't sure, he hadn't met anyone who could catch Xiao Hei so far, so he had to go and see now, and immediately walked towards the stairs.

clatter!clatter!clatter!

He walked all the way to the stairs, and the footsteps followed here.

But there was still no response from Xiao Hei.

Xiang Beifei frowned and started to take a step up.

Hey!

The footsteps upstairs also followed him to take a step down the stairs on the second floor!

He went up two more steps.

clatter!clatter!

The other party actually followed him down two levels!

Xiang Beifei became more and more vigilant, and then stared at the corner of the stairs.

As he walked along the way, one oil lamp on the table went out and another came on, and it kept appearing alternately. When he went up the stairs, the lamp on the pillar at the corner of the stairs was also on.

But he didn't see the shadow of the mysterious guy coming down the stairs, but Xiang Beifei's shadow was dragged very long and kept shaking.

Now he is going upstairs, while the other party is obviously going downstairs.

If you continue to walk down, the two parties are bound to meet at the corner of the stairs!

But why did Xiao Hei go upstairs just now, but didn't come back?

"I want to see what you are!"

Xiang Beifei's expression was very dignified. This place is by no means an ordinary existence. It always feels strange and full of dangers, but until now, he has not seen a single living person.

He continued walking up the stairs.

The footsteps of the other party also followed him to the bottom of the stairs.

clatter!clatter!clatter!

clatter!clatter!clatter!

It was only three steps from the corner.

The light at the corner flickered faster, as if a wind was blowing to blow it out, and Xiang Beifei's shadow was also swaying left and right on the stairs.

Hey!

There are two more steps!

Xiang Beifei held his breath and stared straight ahead.

Hey!

One step up!

He turned the corner sharply, and the broken sword in his hand had already come out sideways. The sharp sword light instantly split the shadows and illuminated the corner of the stairs, wanting to see what the guy who followed him was!

But soon, his pupils shrank suddenly!

At the corner of the stairs, there is not a person standing, but a coffin!

This coffin stood upright under the last step at the corner of the stairs, that is, on the landing of the stairs. Standing there, the coffin lid faced Xiang Beifei.

Was this coffin walking around with him just now?

Xiang Beifei was very surprised!

But how can the coffin move?

Where did this coffin come from?
