The situation they are facing at this moment seems to be beyond human comprehension.

"Let's see if we can climb out."

He closed his eyes.

The images he had just memorized were quickly reassembled in his mind, forming a meticulous three-dimensional model.

Then he led Liu Nan a few steps, through the mist, and to the wall.

He Ao first picked up a stone from the ground, drew a line on the wall to make a mark, and then pulled Liu Nan up onto the wall.

Thick fog also stretched across the other side of the wall.

He thought for a moment, then jumped down. Since he couldn't just pull himself up from above, he put his arm around Liu Nan's shoulder.

Neither of them cared about these things at the moment; they were facing a situation they had never encountered before, and which was even somewhat bizarre.

"came back."

Liu Nan's gaze was focused on He Aogang.

The mark I just made.

After they climbed over the wall, they returned to where they started.

"It seems that conventional methods won't work."

He Ao released Liu Nan and fell into thought.

According to Zhang Anxia's information, this singularity is not very dangerous; it will only lure people to move things inside, and no one will be in trouble.

But now it seems that the courtyard doesn't want them to leave, or perhaps, leaving requires meeting certain conditions?

"Why don't we go inside and take a look? Maybe there are some clues inside?"

Liu Nan thought for a moment and then offered her suggestion.

She had recovered from her initial panic, and although she was still nervous and scared, she knew that nervousness and fear would not help her, and He Ao's composure had also inspired her.

This idea coincided with He Ao's, and he glanced at Liu Nan and nodded slightly.

By comparing the surrounding environment with the model in his mind, Heo easily found the way to the house.

He led Liu Nan through the mist to the door of the house.

In He Ao's memory, the only house connected to this courtyard was a tightly closed gate locked with an iron chain.

But at this moment, the door was ajar, and the chains on it had vanished.

He hesitated for a moment before slowly pushing open the door.

The dim kerosene lamp gradually lit up the room, illuminating the neatly arranged items.

The interior structure of the house is very simple, with the left and right sides connected to form a huge, long, narrow space.

The walls of the entire room were lined with closely spaced display cases, which were filled with neatly arranged items.

Display cases were placed side by side in the middle of the house, with dim kerosene lamps lighting the space between them.

This room didn't feel like a normal place to live to He Ao; it was more like a ten-dollar store in a shopping mall, densely packed with all sorts of small commodities.

"Go in?"

Looking at the scene, Liu Nan also felt a little strange. Combined with the dim yellow kerosene lamp and the thick fog outside, it seemed somewhat terrifying and bizarre.

"Okay, don't stray too far from me."

He Ao nodded, released his grip on Liu Nan's wrist, and stepped into the house first.

He had been holding onto Liu Nan because in the dense fog where visibility was limited, it would have been easy to get lost if he let go. Although the house was eerie, it had basic lighting, so visibility wouldn't be obstructed. Therefore, there was no need to keep holding her, as it would also affect their combat effectiveness.

Liu Nan glanced down at her left wrist. He Ao hadn't been careful with his grip when he grabbed her wrist; he had squeezed it quite tightly. Her originally fair wrist had turned slightly red and was a little sore.

She pinched her sleeves, pulled them down to cover her wrists, and quickly caught up with He Ao.

"what happened?"

He Ao stopped in front of the display case near the door, looking at the items in the case while asking softly.

"It's nothing," Liu Nan said, pulling down her sleeve to show He Ao the red mark on her wrist. She didn't hide anything, as it would be foolish to conceal things from each other and damage trust during a crisis. "I'm not in great physical condition; I've been pampered for too long."

Then she paused for a moment and said softly, "Thank you for protecting me just now."

Her heart raced a little as she said those words.

The moment He Ao sensed danger, he grabbed her and rushed out the door. He continued to hold her even in the fog. If He Ao had let go then, given the visibility, she might have been lost in the fog. In such a strange environment, she didn't know what she would have encountered.

“Oh, it’s nothing,” He Ao said without looking up. “You owe me two meals. I didn’t bring my notebook, so I’ll write it down when I get back.”

······

Liu Nan felt her heartbeat gradually calm down.

Suspension bridge effect...

She sighed, trying to explain to herself why her heart had been racing.

When people are in dangerous situations like crossing a suspension bridge, their heart rate increases involuntarily. If they happen to meet another person of the opposite sex at that moment, they may mistake this feeling of increased heart rate for love. This is known as the suspension bridge effect.

Unlike Liu Nan's fluctuating emotions, He Ao remained calm as he carefully observed the items in the display cases.

"These all look like collectibles."

Liu Nan stood beside He Ao, no longer thinking about those strange things, and began to observe the items.

In front of He Ao was a ceramic display case, on which were placed all kinds of ceramic creations, such as vases, plates and bowls.

Each exhibit had a small sticker in front of it.

The note had the name of the exhibit and a brief description written on it.

For example, right in front of Ho was a blue and white porcelain bowl, and the note underneath read...

Blue and white porcelain bowl - 200 years ago

Liu Nan was looking at a display case next to the ceramics display case, which was filled with various bronze artifacts that looked very old.

She was looking at an old bronze tripod, which looked at least several thousand years old, and below it was written...

[Four-legged bronze tripod - modern craft]

"Look inside."

He Ao stood up and gestured for Liu Nan to walk inside.

According to the information provided by Zhang Anxia, ​​this courtyard attracts passersby to bring over their antiques or special items, which appear to be displayed here.

Why are they being kept in this courtyard?

As the two continued inside, all sorts of strange items appeared on the display cases: dolls, lollipops, old-fashioned hunting rifles, and even a small pink handcuff.

······

He Ao walked up, reached out and tugged at the handcuffs, which became loose and looked rather flimsy.

Then he put the handcuffs back with a look of disgust.

It was at this moment that he once again felt like he was being watched.

He raised his head and looked into the depths of the room, the feeling of being spied on slowly disappearing.

He and Liu Nan continued walking forward.

After crossing a certain line, the items in the display case suddenly changed. Exquisite amber containing insect remains and prepared insect specimens began to appear. The further you went in, the remains of living things gradually replaced the non-living items.

"what!!!"

Just then, Liu Nan suddenly screamed, looking ahead with trembling eyes, "That cat."

He Ao followed her gaze and saw a black cat crouching on the display shelf under the dim light of a kerosene lamp, staring intently at the two people walking towards them.

It looked somewhat ferocious and terrifying.

"It's a specimen."

He Ao walked up to the cat, looking at it, with the label below it.

[Black cat specimen - during hunting].

He Ao reached out and touched the cat's fur. The fur was very soft, but it had no body temperature.

This cat appears to have been taxidermied at a crucial moment in its hunt; it looks incredibly lifelike, and you can almost feel its ferocity during the hunt.

Next to it, there was a lifelike mouse stealing rice.

"Hey, look."

Liu Nan had already walked to He Ao's side. She patted He Ao's shoulder with trembling hands, gesturing for He Ao to look forward.

He Ao looked up and saw that the display shelves in front of them had turned into large display shelves, which contained all kinds of 'biological specimens'.

There are calves, piglets, adult pigs, adult cows, chickens, ducks, fish, and sheep.

He Ao walked step by step through these 'specimens' to the deepest part of the room, where there were two circular platforms about ten centimeters high against the wall.

There was already someone standing on the platform to the left. It was a young man with closed eyes and tattered clothes. He stood stiffly on the platform.

He Ao naturally recognized this person.

bull.

There was also a note posted on the platform beneath the young man's feet. He Ao squatted down and looked at the details on the note, which read:

[bull

He Ao was taken aback.

Why a bull?

All the labels here are broad categories. For example, a pig is labeled as a pig, and a cat is labeled as a cat. At most, some modifiers can be added to further subdivide the category, such as black cat or piglet.
