Chapter 35 Inside the Bone Tower

Seeing the dull expression on Lin Qiushi's face, Ruan Nanzhu said, "Why, you don't want to kiss me?"

Lin Qiushi looked helpless: "Zhu Meng, stop making trouble..."

Ruan Nanzhu came over: "I didn't make trouble, I'm very serious."

Lin Qiushi looked into his eyes and determined that he was not joking, so he lowered his head, picked up his hair, and put a serious kiss on his forehead. This kiss has nothing to do with lust, as if facing his unreasonable sister.

"Okay?" Lin Qiushi asked after the kiss.

Ruan Nanzhu was silent for a moment after being kissed, and then sighed faintly, but he didn't say anything, but waved to Lin Qiushi, signaling him to come over.

Lin Qiushi thought he was going to tell himself the answer, so he bowed his head obediently. Who knew that Ruan Nanzhu held the back of his head, and their lips were in contact.

Lin Qiushi: "????"

Ruan Nanzhu tasted what he wanted, and smiled contentedly: "That's right."

Lin Qiushi: "You—"

Ruan Nanzhu: "What's wrong with me?" His eyes curled, "Do you want to try again?"

Lin Qiushi: "Forget it, it's nothing." At this time, he finally found out that Ruan Nanzhu was deliberately teasing him. This person is obviously normal in the outside world. . Lin Qiushi gave up looking for answers, and sadly stuffed a steamed bun into his mouth.

What Ruan Nanzhu and Meng Yu said has become a mystery, and he has no intention of deciphering it. After seeing Lin Qiushi's end, Cheng Qianli also had the cheek to ask a question. Who knew that Ruan Nanzhu squinted at him and said, "Why, you want to kiss me too? I'm not interested in children."

Cheng Qianli: "If you want..."

Ruan Nanzhu: "I think you are Pikachu's brother. You are itchy."

Cheng Qianli fainted instantly.

They were talking, and the tour guide just came. She stood in the open place not far away and waved the small flag in her hand again, calling to everyone, "Assemble, gather."

The people in the team came to the tour guide one after another, and the tour guide counted the number of people in a circle: "There are twelve people, we can go!"

As soon as the number twelve came out, there were whispers in the crowd, and those who had misunderstood the sentence finally understood the meaning.

"How come there are twelve??" Someone said in a trembling voice, "Could it be that some of us are not human?"

"It should be, NPCs don't usually lie, so who is the ghost hiding in us..." The noisy voice became louder and louder, and suspicion spread through the crowd like a plague. The already tense atmosphere became more tense because of the tour guide's short sentence, and it even made people suffocated.

Thirteen of them are usually divided into two or three teams. Now the two teams have started looking for new partners, trying to ensure that they have at least two people by their side.

Lin Qiushi and the others always walked together as four of them, so it didn't matter much.

"Is there really a ghost among us?" Xu Jin shivered, her face as white as a rabbit, she swallowed, and carefully moved her eyes to Ruan Nanzhu, and stopped...

"What?" Ruan Nanzhu noticed Xu Jin's gaze, and he walked to Xu Jin's side, smiling but not smiling: "Do you think I'm more like a ghost?"

Xu Jin: "No, nothing!"

Ruan Nanzhu turned to look at Lin Qiushi: "Lin Lin, she said she looks like a ghost."

Lin Qiushi: "..." Boss, you are playing again, right?

Xu Jin quickly explained and said, "I wish you don't get me wrong, I didn't say you, but you are the prettiest among them all..."

Ruan Nanzhu: "Oh, that's it."

Xu Jin quickly nodded.

Ruan Nanzhu: "Lin Lin, who do you think is the most beautiful?"

Lin Qiushi's heart is really miserable. As a man with normal orientation, he really doesn't want to admit that Ruan Nanzhu is the cutest among the dozen or so, but the fact is that Ruan Nanzhu stares pitifully. It's really hard to control the appearance, so Lin Qiushi nodded very hopelessly.

"Thank you, Sister Xu Jin." Ruan Nanzhu smiled with satisfaction.

Xu Jin had a look of pain on her face. Obviously, in her eyes, Ruan Nanzhu was very likely to be a ghost. Otherwise, who would enter such a world and still have the heart to fall in love, and even step on two boats...

Of course, she didn't dare to say these words, she could only think silently.

The place to go today is the tower group.

After a long journey, everyone reached their destination. Because of the experience of the previous two days, everyone was in much better condition after arriving at the destination today, and everyone did not hide in the tower, but began to search for more clues.

Although he knew that there was a non-existent person in the team, Ruan Nanzhu seemed very leisurely. He circled around the tallest tower, and then suddenly took out a sharp tool and pointed it at the wall on the tower. The bricks began to move.

Lin Qiushi was taken aback by his action and said, "What are you doing?"

Ruan Nanzhu: "I want to see if there is anything in the tower."

Lin Qiushi: "Something?"

Ruan Nanzhu turned his head: "Didn't you say you heard someone scratching the wall inside?"

Lin Qiushi: "In case it's my illusion..."

Ruan Nanzhu said calmly: "It's okay, I trust your ears more than you."

Lin Qiushi: "..."

Ruan Nanzhu was knocking on the wall with his head down, but Xu Jin next to him carefully pulled Lin Qiushi's clothes: "I want to go to the toilet, can you accompany me?"

Lin Qiushi was taken aback: "Me?"

Xu Jin nodded.

Lin Qiushi: "I...it's not suitable, why don't I let Zhu Meng accompany you..."

He was only halfway through when he saw Xu Jin shaking his head frantically. She looked at Zhu Meng cautiously, and deliberately lowered her voice: "Brother Lin Lin, I have something to tell you."

Seeing her expression, Lin Qiushi hesitated for a moment: "Is there anything I can't say here?"

Xu Jin's voice was inaudible: "Don't you think...Zhu Meng is special...doesn't he look like a human?"

Lin Qiushi: "..."

Xu Jin: "Whether it's looks or personality, how can there be a girl like her, so courageous..."

Lin Qiushi agreed with this, there is no girl like Zhu Meng, so she is not her, but him.

Xu Jin: "Don't you think so?"

Lin Qiushi looked embarrassed. In fact, he could understand Xu Jin to a certain extent, because Ruan Nanzhu was indeed very suspicious, but they had known each other for so long. Ruan Nanzhu and Cheng Qianli were the only two in the team that he could be sure of. identity of two people.

"I... don't think so." Lin Qiushi could only give Xu Jin this answer, "Although he is suspicious, he is indeed leading us to try to live. If he is a ghost, what is his appeal?"

Xu Jin heard a little bit embarrassed. She didn't say anything about her lips, but seeing her unwillingness, obviously continued to insist on her answer. Lin Qiushi couldn't, and could only calm her a few words.

When they were talking, Ruan Nanzhuo had also achieved results. He really knocked on the wall bricks by the tower and exposed the core inside.

Cheng Qianli kept watching next to him. When Ruan Nanzhuo knocked on the wall tiles, he took a breath and cursed.

"What's wrong?" Lin Qiushi heard a few steps in the direction of Cheng Qianli, and saw what Ruan Nanzhu was pulled out of the wall.

I saw that in the cement behind the wall tiles, the skeleton was inlaid densely. These skeletons were stacked together, but at least three or four people's bones can be seen between the square inches.

"Hmm ..." Ruan Nanzhuo was not surprised to see this scene, "I said there must be something in the wall."

Lin Qiushi remembered the scratching sound he heard on the wall, and his face turned white.

Xu Jin hid behind and cried frightened.

"Okay, now I know what the tower is." Ruan Nanzhu stood up and patted the ash on his hands, "What do you just said?"

"Nothing." Lin Qiushi glanced at Xu Jin, "small things."

"Oh, what's a small thing?" Ruan Nanzhu looked at Xu Jin thoughtfully, got up and walked to her, reached out and held Xu Jin's back, "Xu Jin, what are you afraid of?"

Xu Jin was shaking like a sieve.

"Are you afraid of me?" Ruan Nanzhuo had a delicate smile on his face. This smile was difficult to describe in words. Although it was not ugly, it was really a child to have a nightmare expression. "What are I am terrible?" Xu Jin just shook his head and didn't dare to speak at all.

Lin Qiushi couldn't tease her and laughed: "Don't tease her."

Ruan Nanzhu spread his hands, pretending to be helpless, "Okay, no fun." He got up to the side of the tower and continued to study the bone.

Xu Jin came over, and she glanced at Ruan Nanzhu quietly, grinding her tears.

Lin Qiushi: "..." Is Ruan Nanzhu so terrible, scaring the little girl like this.

"This tower uses the bones of thousands of people at least." Ruan Nanzhu said, "If the person's sister's bones are here ..."

"How do you make it?" Cheng Qianli stared at this dense bone, "Even if we are all dead, this person can't find it."

"Um." Ruan Nanzhu, "So there are other ways."

Cheng Qianli pulled his scalp: "What method?"

Ruan Nanzhu's eyes were flowing, and Cheng Qianli looked tightly. Sure enough, he stretched out his hand at Cheng Qianli: "What about the bone flute you secretly picked up yesterday?"

Cheng Qianli: "Well! You shouldn't you think!"

Ruan Nanzhu: "Um."

Cheng Qianli's expression was full of frightened taste. He said, "You really want to do this? That is a human leg bone, and it is not necessarily the effect of blowing out ..."

"It's because you don't have to try it." Ruan Nanzhu, "Take it."

Cheng Qianli silently took out the bone flute from the pocket he carried with him and handed it to Ruan Nanzhu's hand.

Ruan Nanzhu held the flute and observed carefully, and then moved the flute to his lips naturally, and his mouth spit out, and the flute sound passed out of his mouth.

He was blowing the tone of A sister, melodious and gentle, but inexplicably brought a strange desolation.

"Rubbing ..." There was a slight sound from Lin Qiushi. Lin Qiushi stunned for a moment and found that the source of the sound turned out to be the tower around him. The sound of someone scratching in the wall became more and more obvious. At first, he could only hear him alone. Later, Cheng Qianli and Xu Jin also heard the sound, and both of them changed.

"Zhu Meng, stop blowing, it seems something happened." Lin Qiushi stopped Ruan Nanzhu.

Ruan Nanzhu stopped and looked towards the top of the tower, but saw that the circle hanging on the top of the tower suddenly began to shake slightly...

"Let's go further, this tower seems to be collapsing!" Ruan Nanzhu said this, turned around and left.

Lin Qiushi and the others followed Ruan Nanzhu.

Others also discovered the abnormality here and began to disperse to the side. Not long after the crowd dispersed, the tower made a loud noise and fell to the ground with a bang, revealing the countless corpses inside.

However, what suffocated everyone was the slow wriggling of the corpses. The movement was slow at first, and then the speed began to increase. The corpses groaned and climbed each other, and finally formed a tall tower - just this tower, It's made of bones.

Everyone was stunned when they saw this scene, not only stunned, but also deeply fearful.

The drum beat from somewhere began to sound again, and a girl's voice followed the drum beat and sang: "Um mani padme moo, umm mani padmie moo..."

This is more like chanting scriptures than singing.

"We're not going into that tower, are we?" Xu Jin choked out.

"It seems like this." Ruan Nanzhu put down the bone flute and gently rubbed his fingers on it. His expression was a little complicated, and he seemed to remember the background of this song.

The younger sister, who loved her sister deeply, followed her sister's footsteps like crazy, until she heard the scriptures, she realized that the person she was after had become the drum in her arms. When she learned the truth, how did my sister accept this cruel truth?

"Let's go." Lin Qiushi's mood was unexpectedly calm.

"I'm not going, I'm not going." Xu Jin seemed to be afraid, and kept crying, "I don't want to go..."

As she said that, she staggered and ran out behind her. When she ran out, she stumbled and fell, and didn't even pick up the bag she was carrying on the ground.

"Xu Jin—" Lin Qiushi was about to step forward to catch up, but was directly stopped by Ruan Nanzhu. He said, "It's fine if she doesn't go, there's no need to force her, anyway, as long as the door is open, anyone can enter."

Lin Qiushi sighed.

Cheng Qianli walked to the front and picked up the bag that Xu Jin had dropped. He said, "It's so light... Didn't she put two bottles of water in it? Why can't she feel it." When they came out, they would prepare to be outside. For lunch, Cheng Qianli saw Xu Jin stuff two bottles of water into his bag with his own eyes. They have never been separated since they got here, and Cheng Qianli remembered that he didn't see Xu Jin drinking water.

"Open it and see." Ruan Nanzhu suddenly said.

"Is it okay to open it like this?" Cheng Qianli was a little embarrassed, "After all, it's her personal belongings."

Ruan Nanzhu: "Your life is almost gone, you still talk about privacy?"

It was the same reason, Cheng Qianli reached out and opened Xu Jin's bag. Xu Jin's bag is a milky white backpack, which seems to be made of sheepskin and is very ordinary. She has carried it on her body since she arrived here, occasionally carrying some food and daily necessities.

After Cheng Qianli opened Xu Jin's bag, he saw that it was empty and there was nothing. He was stunned for a moment: "There is nothing..."

Ruan Nanzhu: "Show it to me." He took the bag, checked it carefully, and found a page of old paper in the middle of the bag.

"What is this?" Cheng Qianli was stunned when he saw the paper, "This is..."

"Isn't this the diary we saw at the top of the tower?" Lin Qiushi immediately remembered, "Nan Zhu, do you remember when you were flipping through the diary and found that a page was torn out of the diary?"

"Yes, yes!" Cheng Qianli was also blessed, "I remembered, it was the notebook that Ruan Nanzhu took away!"

Ruan Nanzhu listened to the conversation between the two and unfolded the folded paper.

I saw a painting printed on the paper. The painting was a pair of twins holding hands. They were wearing long skirts and had a satisfied smile on their tender faces. There was nothing special about this painting, but after reading it carefully, Lin Qiushi realized that the two girls in the portrait were exactly the same as Xu Jin.

Because of this, Lin Qiushi felt a chill rushed from his back to his forehead: "She... when did she tear off this portrait."

"I don't know." Cheng Qianli's tone was also dry, he said, "She really didn't go to the top with us at that time."

At this time, Lin Qiushi recalled a detail. At the topmost level, in the illusion he saw, Xu Jin walked in front of the drum and struck the drum for the first time.

The weirdness that I hadn't noticed before also flooded into my mind. As a newcomer who just entered this world, Xu Jin's performance was too good. Although he has been talking about being afraid, he has never done anything wrong, and even sometimes, Lin Qiushi will forget that there is such a person by his side.

"So...she's not actually human?" Cheng Qianli swallowed.

Ruan Nanzhu: "It seems so."

"Then what if she finds out that we find out that she is not human?" Lin Qiushi looked at the piece of paper.

Ruan Nanzhu folded the paper and put it back in the bag: "This matter is more complicated, and it can be divided into many situations. I will talk about it in detail later." He looked up at the bone tower in front of him, "It's getting dark, let's first Come in and have a look."

"Yeah." Lin Qiushi nodded.

When they walked inside, they saw Meng Yu standing at the door. He was alone, with a smile on his face, and greeted them when they came over: "You are here."

"You want to go in together?" Ruan Nanzhu asked.

Meng Yu: "Yeah, the key should be inside, let others go, I'm always a little worried." He didn't care to say something that was almost contemptuous, but it didn't seem abrupt because of his powerful aura.

When Ruan Nanzhu heard this, he laughed: "Then we won't go, just ask Mr. Li Dongyuan to bring out the key."

Meng Yu's face changed slightly when he heard the words: "How do you know my name——"

Ruan Nanzhu: "I don't know." He raised his chin slightly, his expression indifferent and full of ridicule, "Everyone knows that Bailu has received a big order, and I am afraid that only Dong is responsible for this order. You are Mr. Yuan."

Li Dongyuan listened to Ruan Nanzhu's words, his eyes were full of interest, he looked up and down Ruan Nanzhu: "I have never heard of a girl like you, interesting, very interesting, when I go out, I will definitely Let's have a good chat with you." He smiled, "After all, such an interesting girl is really rare."

After hearing this, Lin Qiushi thought, yes, it's really interesting... Who has ever seen a girl who is thicker than himself?

After Li Dongyuan finished speaking, he actually turned around and entered the tower alone.

Seeing this, Lin Qiushi said in shock, "Is he okay by himself?"

Ruan Nanzhu seemed very indifferent. He said, "It's best if we can come out. If we don't come out, we have nothing to lose. Just wait."

So the three of them waited outside the tower, discussing about Xu Jin by the way.

I don't know if Xu Jin will come back. After returning, how should everyone face her? Lin Qiushi also politely reminded Ruan Nanzhu to stop teasing Xu Jin. Ruan Nanzhu refused righteously, saying that he would not flirt at this time, and waiting for Xu Jin to really reveal his identity, wouldn't he be even more unable to flirt, this business is really not worth it.

Lin Qiushi: "...Is it so happy to tease the little girl?"

Ruan Nanzhu: "Actually, it makes you happier."

Lin Qiushi: "..."

Seeing that the sky was about to darken, Li Dongyuan hadn't come out yet.

Lin Qiushi should have been worried, but seeing Ruan Nanzhu's appearance of an old god, he calmed down strangely.

Just when they and the tour guide were five minutes away from the agreed time, a strange sound finally came from the bone tower.

Crunching... like the sound of broken bones, the entire tall bone tower began to fall apart, and the bones scattered from the side.

At the entrance, a black figure appeared, and Lin Qiushi took a closer look, it was Li Dongyuan.

But the most attractive thing was not Li Dongyuan, but the beautiful bronze key in Li Dongyuan's hand.

When the key appeared, Lin Qiushi felt relieved.

Li Dongyuan took the key and walked in front of them, stretched out his hand and handed it: "It's up to you, Miss Zhu."

Ruan Nanzhu smiled and grabbed the key in his hand: "Happy cooperation."

"It's a pleasure to cooperate." Li Dongyuan said.

Lin Qiushi didn't expect him to hand over the key so easily, and was slightly surprised, but Cheng Qianli seemed very calm, as if this kind of thing was very common.

As soon as the appointed time came, the tour guide appeared in front of everyone on time. She waved a small flag and began to urge everyone to leave. At the same time, the sky began to darken.

Lin Qiushi saw Xu Jin who had just run away crying, Cheng Qianli handed her the bag, and she took the bag naturally, as if she didn't know what was in the bag.

"Did you really enter that tower?" Xu Jin asked in a low voice, "Have you found your sister's bones?"

"No." Ruan Nanzhu replied, "We didn't find anything."

"Oh." Xu Jin replied in a loss. She seemed to have something to say, but when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them hard.

Normally, Cheng Qianli would definitely ask her what she wanted to say, but after knowing that Xu Jin was not a human being, he always felt a little distance from her and was afraid of asking questions that shouldn't be asked.

So everyone was silent all the way until they reached the residence.

The tour guide said the time for the next day and left as usual. Everyone gathered together for a simple dinner, during which Lin Qiushi noticed that Xu Jin's eyes kept looking into Ruan Nanzhu's pocket.

There is only one more special thing in Ruan Nanzhu's pocket, which is the bone flute made from her sister's leg bone.

Xu Jin seems to have a strong interest in this thing.

The author has something to say:
