The Romantic Soldier King

Qiao Yingzhe stared at Ye Cheng's back for a long time. He walked over to the window and opened it a crack. His fingers brushed against the yellow grains on the window frame, like sand crystals, and it turned out that the moment before was not an illusion. He took some crystals and put them into his pocket, closed the window, returned to the paper towel and put it on, then lay down in his clothes.    

    

Hearing the regular breathing sound from behind, Ye Cheng got off the bed. He tiptoed out of the room. There was only one ceiling light on in the hallway, and the limited fibre-optic light only illuminated the middle of the room. Both ends of the corridor were still pitch black.    

    

Ye Cheng stuck to the wall and slowly walked towards the stairs. The more Ye Cheng walked, the weirder it felt. There were no old men, no women, no children, and even the two brothers who had entered the house together had disappeared, what was going on? He walked towards the door. At some point, someone had lifted the black cloth from the birdcage in the yard. The bird had landed on the inside of the cage, and its two feet were pointing towards the sky stiffly, as if it had been dead for a long time.    

    

Standing next to the birdcage, Ye Cheng squatted down and wanted to test the bird's breathing. Suddenly, he felt a burst of cold air from behind him, felt that something was wrong, but still calmly squatted down and said to himself: "So the bird was sleeping like this, I've seen it for myself! Sigh, who was it that lifted the black cloth? Seriously, the old gramps is going to curse him when he sees him! "    

    

As he spoke, Ye Cheng stood up. He searched for a long time, but was unable to find any ropes, so he could only manually take off the black cloth and slowly cover the cage. After everything was settled, Ye Cheng satisfyingly chuckled. At this moment, he slightly raised his head and glanced at a window on the second floor. Just now, he inadvertently caught sight of a face that was plastered on the window. It was a face that he had never seen before.    

    

Ye Cheng casually walked into the kitchen and took a cup of water to drink. After that, he returned to his room, locked the door, and pulled down the curtains. He stood at the door for a long time. There are other people here! "    

    

"Who?"    

    

Ye Cheng uncertainly shook his head. From that glance just now, he could not confirm if that person was a man or a woman. From the window's position, it should be ? Suddenly, Ye Cheng froze on the spot, and his eyes widened as his face instantly turned deathly white. How could there be a window in that position? The entire building was only two and a half floors high, and all the houses on the second floor were leaning to the right, so the windows couldn't be seen at all. When they opened the door, there was only a wall, and at the end, there was only a window.    

    

Qiao Yingzhe raised his eyebrows. He felt that Ye Cheng was very bored and did not want to cause any trouble in the middle of the night. Ye Cheng, can you sleep now? "    

    

"Uncle, all the birds are dead! This is unusual. "    

    

"Qiao Yingzhe was stunned, did the bird die?" "Let's go take a look!"    

    

Ye Cheng grabbed Qiao Yingzhe's wrist, and dragged him back. What are you looking at, other than us, there's only ghosts here! "    

    

"Don't be a ghost or an abomination!" Qiao Yingzhe answered in an unconvinced manner. He fumbled in his pockets for a cigarette to calm himself down, and casually looked at his alloy watch. The needle and the minute hand were squeezed together, it was 12 o'clock! What time is it? "    

    

"Twelve o'clock!"    

    

Qiao Yingzhe curled his lips. When I went to sleep, it was already 12 o'clock. Do you not need time to go back and forth like this? "    

    

Ye Cheng blinked his eyes. Raising his lips, he offered Qiao Yingzhe a cigarette and smoked a few puffs in silence. Do you want to take the risk with me? "    

    

Qiao Yingzhe raised his eyebrows and shrugged. Once you're here, you don't want to retreat. This place is so freaking weird! "    

    

It was rare for the two of them to come to the same conclusion. They arrived next to the cages one after another, and each bird died the same way. His legs were stiff, his eyes were filled with fear, and there was a crystal in his open mouth. He must have died under the sandstorm. Who opened the cloth? Otherwise the birds wouldn't have died.    

    

While Qiao Yingzhe was studying the birds, he took the opportunity to turn around and look at the house behind him. The window that he saw before had human faces, and it was currently a wall. "You stay here, I'll go take a look!"    

    

Ye Cheng ran into the house and climbed up the wall like a gecko, slowly crawling towards the window in his memory! Qiao Yingzhe stood below, he looked at Ye Cheng's voice, and when he neared the place where the second and first floor intersected, his pale face was pressed against the window, and he lowered his eyes to look at Ye Cheng who was crawling.    

    

"Heavens, there really is one!"    

    

Qiao Yingzhe bellowed from below, he gestured at Ye Cheng to sit, but he could not see it. The only thing he saw was the white face with the corner of her mouth raised up as she revealed a sinister smile, opening her mouth wide to reveal her sharp fangs, as though she wanted to swallow Ye Cheng whole. This idiot, can't you see that ghost? "    

    

After cursing, Qiao Yingzhe wanted to leave them alone, but he had already scuttled towards the wall, chasing after Ye Cheng.    

    

Qiao Yingzhe saw something completely different from Ye Cheng, he frowned when he saw Qiao Yingzhe catching up to him. Brother-in-law, what are you doing here? "    

    

"Can't you see that?" Qiao Yingzhe really wanted to slap this idiot down.    

    

Ye Cheng was stunned, he subconsciously raised his head up, and in his eyes, he saw a wall. You saw it? "    

    

"Cut the crap, let's talk after we leave this place." Qiao Yingzhe cried out in alarm, he kicked thinking of Ye Cheng, and his body suddenly shot upwards, smashing a fist towards the white face.    

    

Qiao Yingzhe only wanted to scare the ghost, but he did not know if there was any kind of huge suction force that pulled him inside the window when he got close.    

    

"This is bad!"    

    

Ye Cheng shouted loudly, at the last moment, he grabbed onto Qiao Yingzhe's ankle and dragged him out. The two of them landed on the ground and Ye Cheng turned his body while hugging Qiao Yingzhe, and he made close contact with the ground.    

    

In a state of shock, Qiao Yingzhe immediately crawled up from the ground. He looked at Ye Cheng, and a tinge of blood was smelt in the air. "Does it matter?"    

    

Ye Cheng shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he was fine. He looked at the second floor, where the White Face Red Tooth was staring at them. It wanted to pass through the window, but the window looked like its cage, blocking its way.    

    

"I dare say that if you were to be taken in by it just now, you might be the next it!"    

    

"Ye Cheng took a deep breath. Twelve o'clock! It's not a problem with our watch, it's a problem with the magnetic field here. "    

    

Even without Ye Cheng's permission, Qiao Yingzhe did not want to step into this damned place anymore. If you climb over this wall, you will be surrounded. Didn't that old man say that you can go in for two hours a day? I didn't believe that you wouldn't be able to come out if you go in. "    

    

This time, the two of them easily flipped over the wall and landed at the edge of the ring. He turned around and looked at the room. There was a glimmer of light coming from inside. Ye Cheng pulled Qiao Yingzhe, indicating him to turn back.    

    

Qiao Yingzhe shook Ye Cheng off without even turning his head, and started mumbling to him with his back facing him. No one has ever told you the principle that you can't turn back while walking through the night and meet ghosts. Don't believe everything you see, your father was harmed by you! "    

    

Ye Cheng blinked his eyes, he helplessly curled his lips. Alright, I admit that this guy saved me once, but do you have to be so sarcastic!    

    

Other than the floor, Ye Cheng really did not know what Chen Luoxue came here for. The only thing he could link up with was the LY stoste, which was why she fell into the so-called state of death. Now that she appeared before their line of sight, what did she want to do, and what did she want to tell him? 's appearance was not unintentional, rather, it was guiding him in a certain direction. If it was so, why did he not directly come out to meet him?    

    

"Ye Cheng, come over here!"    

    

Qiao Yingzhe stood on a patch of black scorched earth and rubbed his feet on the ground.    

    

Ye Cheng looked in the direction he wanted to go, and after a moment of hesitation, he turned towards Qiao Yingzhe's direction. He didn't know if it was because of him, but ever since he entered the ring, the place he was going was surrounded by a ghostly aura. It was like where he was going, there was a shadow, and as he walked, there were many of them. Since it was harmless, Ye Cheng did not pay too much attention.    

    

"What did you find?"    

    

"The nursing home has been burnt down for at least a few decades. Take a look at this black scorched earth. It's still very new. It can be wiped off with just a rub."    

    

The charred ground was as unerasable as a seal, but it would fade with time, and not as new as this charred ground.    

    

Ye Cheng took out his blade, digging out the scorched earth, he held it in his hand and sniffed: "This isn't scorched earth, it's pitch black!"    

    

Qiao Yingzhe couldn't believe it, so he took off a piece and placed it under his nose to smell. The smell was extremely pungent, and it felt somewhat scorching when he held it in his hand. "It's very fresh. Could there be something underneath?"    

    

"Without waiting for Ye Cheng to intervene to stop the attack, Qiao Yingzhe had already collapsed onto the pitch black ground. It's very soft down there, and it's very hot, and there's a rubber smell on it. "    

    

"Uncle, come down quickly, OK!"    

    

Qiao Yingzhe lifted his leg, making the shoes a bit sticky. He leapt up and landed beside Ye Cheng. "Damn, my shoes, I'm finished."    

    

"Ignore your shoes, there's something approaching!"    

    

The air became thinner as Ye Cheng pushed Qiao Yingzhe behind him. Under his golden pupils, the black figures in the surroundings slowly gathered together, forming a large black ball one by one, and this black ball was still growing. Beauty can fly, can't you? "    

    

"Bullshit, am I on the same level as the Island Lord? I want the ability to fly, and I'll be in this damn place. " Qiao Yingzhe cursed, although he could not see those things, but the cold aura that swept across his skin, he did not dare to be careless.    

    

"What time is it?"    

    

Ye Cheng suddenly asked a strange question. Facing the gigantic being in front of him, he regretted repeatedly avoiding the asphalt of the ground and moved to the side, but with this slight movement, Ye Cheng realized that the black pattern in front of him hadn't changed because of their movements. He was slightly relieved, and only after avoiding a certain safe distance did he realize that they were already very close to the front of the courtyard.
