"Then do you know where this is?"

"I know, it's the Himuro residence." Zhiyao said, looking around casually, "As for why you appear here, I'm sorry, I can't tell you for the time being."

As soon as these words were spoken, Shenhong felt a chill on his back.

"You...wait...could it be possible that you followed me all the way here..."

"That's right, you just realized it?"

Instantly, Crimson entered alert mode, his eyebrows furrowed, and he demanded in a tone that said, "What exactly do you want to do? Answer me now!"

Although she appeared to be stern, she was actually very panicked. The evil spirits in the Himuro residence could be driven away by the camera, but if the human man in front of her attacked her, she would have no resistance at all.

How could Zhiyao not see that she was bluffing?

Taking two steps back, Zhiyao sheathed Chu Yeshi's knife and put it back in her arms. "Alright, alright, it was just a joke. I did come here for a purpose, but I can promise that I won't hurt you, so please rest assured."

Shenhong was skeptical and looked at him silently, but after a moment her vigilance gradually subsided.

After all, at the moment, she has no choice but to choose to believe.

"alright."

Turning around, Crimson stepped into the house behind her, preparing to return to where she was just now. She was investigating a drawer before, and when she heard screams from next door, she came out to see what was going on. As a result, she saw an evil spirit. After eliminating the evil spirit with a camera, she saw an unexpected person.

"Ah, wait a minute." Zhiyao called her.

Crimson looked back.

"I need to confirm something."

After saying that, Zhiyao looked at Shenhong eagerly, his eyes conveying his desire to go with me.

He can't see spirits, so he needs the company of Crimson, who can see spirits. This way he will feel more at ease, and he will have a partner to help him fight evil spirits.

Can't you go by yourself?

Crimson wanted to say this, and did not want to shoot escort.

She has important matters to attend to and is busy looking for her brother.

However, the person on the other side looked pitiful, so Shenhong decided to ask first.

"where?"

"In the entrance."

Well, the entrance is so close, it doesn’t hurt to go there.

So as soon as Zhiyao finished speaking, Shenhong took the lead and walked towards the entrance.

After arriving at the entrance, Zhiyao was a little confused to find it was pitch black in front of him.

"Ah?"

"What's wrong?" Shenhong looked at his face.

"No, no... why is the door..." Zhiyao said as she ran to the entrance in three or two steps, "Why is the door closed?"

"Didn't you turn it off?" Shenhong asked curiously.

"It's definitely not closed. I left an escape route there on purpose!"

"Maybe it was the wind?" Shenhong said as he leaned over to the door lock and took a closer look.

"That rock weighs at least 40 kilograms. Is that a typhoon?"

Unwilling to give up, Zhiyao began to pull the handle hard, but when there was no response, she kicked the door hard. Unfortunately, no matter how hard she tried, the door didn't budge at all. Shenhong also tried it, but after all the attempts failed, she concluded that the door was sealed by some supernatural power.

It looks like I can’t get out, Shenhong thought.

It doesn’t matter. I don’t plan to leave until I find my brother.

Then, Shenhong looked at Zhiyao who was anxious, "What are you going to do next? Maybe you can come with me?"

As long as it didn't interfere with her work, she was happy to act together. Having a man around in a place like this would increase her sense of security, although she didn't think the men around her were very reliable.

This was the original plan, so Zhiyao readily agreed.

"You lead the way."

Leaving the entrance, the two entered the Rope Corridor, Shenhong walked in front and Zhiyao followed closely behind.

As she walked, Zhiyao felt a sharp pain in her right wrist and suddenly felt a little unsteady.

"hiss!"

Noticing the movement, Shenhong turned around and saw Zhiyao leaning against the wall with a bad look on his face.

"What's wrong with you?" Shenhong hurried forward and asked.

"My ankle... feels a little..."

With cold sweat oozing from his forehead, Zhiyao sat down on the spot, lifted up his trouser legs and socks to check the situation. As he shone the flashlight there, Zhiyao was stunned with surprise in an instant.

A black, grasping palm print was clearly printed on the surface of the ankle.

"What's going on?" Shenhong had a vague premonition of something bad happening. Combined with the screams he had heard earlier, he said, "Wait, could it be..."

"I was just caught by that guy accidentally." Zhiyao endured the pain and put on a relaxed smile.

Noticing this, Shenhong frowned instantly, and anger bloomed from his brows.

"Seriously, this is no small matter."

"Okay, okay, it's not that serious. Why don't we go find Manyemaru?" Zhiyao patted Shenhong's shoulder gently.

"Manyomaru?" Shenhong looked at him strangely.

"It's a tool that can heal injuries."

"Sorry, never heard of it."

After hearing what Shenhong said, Zhiyao, who was originally full of confidence, suddenly lost some confidence and became vaguely worried.

If you insist, this is the real world. Since there is no save point at the entrance, it is very likely that there are no game props such as Manyomaru, God Water, and Mirror Stone. This means that you are in a real mode that is even harsher than Hell Mode.

You can't recover quickly from injuries, you only have one life, and when you die you start your life over again.

Thinking of this, Zhiyao quickly straightened his socks and trouser legs and forced himself to stand up. However, he never expected that the severe pain would miraculously disappear after he stood up, leaving only a lingering pain.

Crimson was surprised by this.

"Is everything alright?"

"Walking seems to be fine now, maybe it's just intermittent pain?"

"If you're fine, just keep going." Shenhong urged lightly, and her attention returned to the front again, but this time she was more careful and kept an eye on the situation around her at all times.

Finally, they arrived at the mirror in the Rope Corridor again and turned right. However, at this moment, Zhiyao felt a faint feeling of heat in his chest.

Thinking that it might be the light of Chu Yeshi's scabbard, he quickly took it out to check, and then found that it was indeed the case. The golden light was seeping out from the entrance of the scabbard.

The glow means that there is a spirit nearby.

"Hinasaki!" Zhiyao quickly pulled out the blade and reminded Shenhong loudly.

Hearing the anxiety in the tone, Shenhong quickly turned around and saw Zhiyao's serious expression. She began to pay attention to the movements around her. The next second, something fell quickly in front of her and hit the floor. She looked closely and saw that it was the corpse of an adult male with pale skin.

"Yeah!"

Caught off guard, Crimson screamed instinctively in panic. Of course, she did not forget to raise her camera in her panic.

Click.

The adult male's body disappeared, and at the same time, Chu Yeya's knife also lost its luster.

At this point, the two people who were still frightened came to their senses and their eyes met unknowingly.

"Sikong."

"Hinsaki."

Almost at the same time, the two of them spoke at the same time.

"You speak first." Zhiyao said in style.

"You may encounter even more dangerous situations next. For your own safety, please stay away from me. I can see things that ordinary people cannot."

Recalling what Zhiyao had just said about that guy, Shenhong immediately took back the last sentence and asked:

"Can you see it too?"

"No." Zhiyao shook her head in denial, then added, "Normally, you can't, but you can use props."

After saying that, Zhiyao raised his right hand, and Shenhong noticed that the blade of the knife was a rare amber color.

Chapter 15: [Are you feeling better?]

"This knife?"

Shenhong expressed his curiosity on the spot, so Zhiyao handed the knife over. The moment he touched it, Shenhong realized that it contained unimaginable spiritual power, so that he looked at Zhiyao with more and more disbelief.

"You actually have this thing." Shenhong couldn't help but sigh, and compared it with her own camera.

Her intuition told her that this amber knife might be even older than her camera.

"Where did you get it? In your hometown, or do you always carry it with you?" Shenhong continued to ask.

Unexpectedly, Zhiyao remained silent. Shenhong looked at his face and saw that he was hesitating.

"What's wrong? Can't you tell me?"

"No... uh... how should I put it... ahaha..." Zhiyao rolled her eyes and laughed.

Seeing that Shenhong's eyes were still as sharp as a torch, he began to hesitate, and finally gritted his teeth.

"Forget it, forget it. It's okay to tell you, but the things actually belong to someone else. I..."

Shenhong understood instantly.

"Did you steal it?"

Why can't it be a loan? Is my image in your mind so bad? Zhiyao suddenly wanted to complain.

Of course he had no intention of lying, so he nodded in agreement.

"Then you'd better return it quickly. Theft is no small matter."

"Indeed, especially since the stolen items were from a police officer's house."

After hearing these words, Shenhong took a deep breath and expressed her deep concern for this person's future. However, this meant that she had to pay attention to one thing.

"Why would you steal this?" Crimson said.

"Because it's a show..." Zhiyao felt that Shenhong had something else in mind, so she changed her words decisively, "Because it looks very valuable."

Clearly, Crimson wasn't some three-year-old girl who could be easily fooled.

"But it can make invisible spirits visible."

"so what."

"Knowing this is the Himuro residence, you happened to be carrying a stolen knife that could make spirits appear. Isn't that a bit of a coincidence?" Shenhong explained the situation clearly and logically, like a detective. "And after being attacked and injured by the evil spirit, you said you were going to find Manyomaru, which could heal your injuries. How did you know about such a thing and that it could heal injuries? And you appeared not long after I entered the Himuro residence, so..."

Crimson took a deep breath.

"Sikong, I always feel that your appearance is not a coincidence. You seem to be well prepared."

After saying this, Shenhong held her breath and stared at Zhiyao's eyes with a look of utmost concentration, trying to read something from that face. Perhaps because she was caught off guard, Zhiyao couldn't think of how to get away with it for a moment, so she didn't dare to look Shenhong in the eye, and kept looking away.

"Tell me quickly, Sikong." Shenhong said in a sincere tone.

"This..." Zhiyao was almost unable to resist it. She began to waver in her heart and decided to confront him.

However, the idea of ​​the butterfly effect was deeply rooted in his mind. After careful consideration, he finally decided to avoid answering the question, at least until he found Hinasaki Mafuyu first.

"Confidential."

"Uh."
