infinite danger

Chapter 17 Pain

Ji Siwei felt that he had fallen into a vortex full of soft light, his body was very light, as if he was wrapped by a gentle yet powerful force, he kept falling.

The drawers are down, he thought suddenly.

I don't know how long it took, those rays of light gradually disappeared, and the slender eye feathers trembled slightly, Ji Siwei slowly opened his eyes, he was stunned for a long time, and the scene in front of him gradually became clear.

There is an open window in front of you, and the colorful sunset has dyed most of the sky, the bright and soft twilight spills into the window sill, the lush creepers sway in the wind, and the fading heat of the summer evening blows towards your face.

And at this moment, he was lying on an old ebony table, his arms were slightly red.

After moving his arms, Ji Siwei's consciousness began to return. He looked at the environment in front of him, and the uneasiness in his heart finally disappeared.

It is a familiar environment.

He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

On Friday morning, he received a call from his aunt, saying that the grapes were ripe, and he was invited to come to this manor in the suburbs for a while to relax.

When he arrived at the manor on Friday afternoon, he was planning to find a book to pass the time in the study, but he accidentally found blood on the drawer of this desk.

The blood was glaring, as if oozing from the drawer. At that time, he didn't know what was going on, but he seemed to be in a daze, and there was a strong desire to open the drawer in his heart.

He opened the drawer, and immediately appeared in a strange world.

What happened in that eerie and terrifying house was vivid in his memory, Ji Siwei rubbed his eyes, suddenly he couldn't distinguish between reality and memory.

He sighed wearily, and was about to study that drawer again, when he found an old puppet lying on his lap!

It was dusty, wearing tattered red overalls, more scratches on its body than before, and dried blood stains on its face, it looked as if it had been seriously injured.

Eyes like glass beads looked straight at Ji Siwei, as if they were looking at him.

Ji Siwei opened his eyes wide, and his mind was completely awake.

He held the puppet's body and put it in front of his eyes. A trace of joy jumped out of his eyes reflecting the twilight. He raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said to the puppet in a soft and gentle tone:

"You remember I said that as long as you live, I will give you a new dress, so you came back with me?"

The little puppet didn't respond, and a light flashed quickly in its dark eyes, as if it had resonated with his words.

"I'll definitely change it for you." Ji Siwei said, "The place that sells Barbie dolls should have such small clothes...Small skirts or something..."

I don't know if it's an illusion, but when the little puppet heard "little skirt", its eyes seemed to go dark.

Ji Siwei: "Can I also buy some female puppets to keep you company?"

Puppet: "..." I am too difficult.

Gently wiping off the dust on the puppet, Ji Siwei rubbed the nick on its face, feeling a little distressed.

These nicks were left by protecting him twice.

He found that the puppet seems to be better at defense, but not strong at attack.

Regarding this mysterious puppet, Ji Siwei had many questions in his mind——

Why did the little puppet protect himself twice, is it just because he picked it up and took it with him?

Why can it follow itself back to the real world?

What does Shi Yi mean by "Qi Ling"?

He knows too few clues, unless one day the puppet can talk, please tell him.

Ji Siwei didn't dwell on this issue, and started to face up to the drawer that opened the other world for him.

The blood on the drawer had disappeared, and it looked like a very ordinary drawer.

Now that I took a closer look, I found that there were a large number of lifelike roses engraved on the drawer, and the jade handle on it was exactly the same as the one he opened on the top of the Rose Garden, and it was also very similar to the drawer containing Shi Chu's heart.

After going through the previous dungeon, Ji Siwei felt uncomfortable when he saw anything related to roses.

Taking a deep breath, he grabbed the handle and pulled it away heavily.

The drawer didn't move at all, it was locked.

It was not locked at first, but now it is locked inexplicably. There must be a problem.

Playing with the puppet and staring at the familiar relief of roses on the drawer, Ji Siwei suddenly thought of something and reached out to touch his pocket.

The unique cold texture of metal came from the fingertips, and the key he put in his pocket at that time was still there.

"No way..."

Ji Siwei gestured with the brass key, and it really matched.

What kind of shit luck is this.

If he threw away the key casually, wouldn't he just have to break open the drawer now?

He opened the drawer without any problems.

He stayed where he was, not being carried anywhere by strange forces.

This drawer seems to have lost the ability to connect to another world.

But the things in the drawer caught Ji Siwei's attention.

Inside lay an ancient walnut box, on which was carved a picture of mountains and rivers. Although the depiction was not delicate, it was vivid, as if it came from the hands of a master. Each of the four corners of the wooden box had a big mouth, biting it. Black cat wood carving in wooden box.

There is a small and exquisite jasper lock hanging on the wooden box. This lock looks like an antique, and it will break if it is smashed. It is not like an anti-theft, but like a decoration.

On the top of the wooden box, there is a brand new red card with silver auspicious cloud patterns painted on the four corners.

It is out of tune with the quaint wooden box.

Opening the card, I saw a few lines written inside:

The fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month.

Xu time.

Negative third floor.

Return this thing and get your wish.

The handwriting is elegant, and there is also a sketched map attached below, with several street names marked, and the place specially circled is probably the address where the wooden box should be returned.

Ji Siwei was sure that this card was definitely not in the drawer, because the ink on it hadn't dried yet.

It just appeared out of thin air.

And exudes a dangerous evil spirit.

Taking out the wooden box, Ji Siwei remembered that when he came out with the copy, Ah Ming had told him to pay attention to the clues of the second drawer.

"Return this thing, your wish is fulfilled..." He repeated this sentence in a low voice.

Maybe the location of the second drawer is just where the map marked it.

But is it really necessary to find a second drawer?

There were only three people out of the original seven-member team, so why bother to enter such a dangerous place.

"Boom... boom..."

The knock on the door interrupted Ji Siwei's thoughts. He lowered his eyelashes, carefully put away the wooden box and cards, and tucked the blanket over his lap.

"Please come in."

Ji Siwei responded lightly.

"Siwei, dinner is ready, don't be bored in the study, go out to eat."

Standing outside the door, the woman with gentle eyebrows showed a sweet smile.

The person who came was Ji Siwei's cousin, named Ji Siyun, who was several years older than him.

"it is good."

Ji Siwei nodded.

"Huh? Where did you find the puppet in your hand? Do you have such a thing at home? Why don't I know."

Looking at the puppet on Ji Siwei's lap, Ji Siyun asked suspiciously.

"I brought this." Hiding the puppet under the blanket, Ji Siwei said a word, and moved the wheelchair to her side: "Sister, what's the date today, and what time is it?"

"Are you confused?" Ji Siyun shook his head amusedly, and nudged his forehead with his fingertips: "August NO.14, 06:30 in the afternoon."

Ji Siwei was taken aback when he heard that, which meant that he had spent almost a whole day in the dungeon, but only twenty minutes had passed in the real world.

August NO.14, the lunar calendar happens to be July [-]th, so the time stated on the card is tomorrow.

"What are you in a daze for again, everyone is waiting, let's go out."

Ji Siyun snapped his fingers and walked out first.

Ji Siwei had something on his mind, so he didn't pay attention when he turned the corner, and accidentally bumped his knee into the corner of the wall, because the wheelchair is electric, he slammed into it, and the collision was not light.

"hiss……"

Ji Siwei gasped in pain, and subconsciously covered his injured knee.

About two seconds later, Ji Siwei pressed the wound in surprise.

Pain!

Knee actually hurts!

Ji Siwei's eyes widened suddenly, his breathing trembling.

He immediately remembered what the cheongsam woman had said to him when he first entered the dungeon——

"I'll be back to being a normal person soon."

"Just open a few more drawers."

Thinking about it carefully, the skin above the eyes of the cheongsam woman is intact, and the scar seems to have been amputated abruptly.

Ji Cheng was dressed in hospital clothes, looking like he was seriously ill.

Is there some kind of power in the dungeon that can repair people's incompleteness or disease?

As long as you come out alive, your body in reality can be healed to varying degrees.

He finally understood why there were so many crises in the dungeon, and those "old men" had to go in again without hesitation.

Without freedom, what's the use of this crippled body.

If there is a chance to stand up again, no matter how dangerous it is, he is willing to go for it.

Ji Siwei leaned on the wall, trying to stand up.

His legs seemed to be filled with lead, and they were extremely heavy. No matter how hard he tried, he would not be controlled. Ji Siwei exerted force with his hands, but unexpectedly, his body lost his balance and leaned forward violently.

"Oh!"

He fell to the ground with a wheelchair, and there was pain in his legs. Not only was Ji Siwei not angry, but he even felt an unprecedented sense of relief in his heart.

He has hope.

"Siwei, are you alright?"

"Why did you suddenly fall down?"

Ji Siyun ran back quickly, helped Ji Siwei up, frowned, his face without makeup was full of distress.

"Sister, I'm fine."

Ji Siwei raised his hand to cover his eyes, and laughed silently.

"This kid, didn't he fall stupidly?" Ji Siyun carefully checked whether he was injured, "Where did he fall, does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt." Ji Siwei shook his head, and said obediently, "I want to eat."

……

The temperature dropped and they ate their supper in the garden.

Before everyone arrived, a few half-grown children gathered on the lawn to tease the cat with a cat teasing stick.

After Ji Siwei approached, the black cat stopped suddenly. After smelling a certain smell on his body, its pupils suddenly dilated, flashed a fierce light, opened its mouth and let out a mournful howl, and rushed towards Ji Siwei.

Ji Siwei instinctively raised his hand to protect his face, and there was a sharp pain in his hand.

Blood even spattered on his face.

The black cat lightly landed aside, with its front paws on the ground, its fur bristling, and it bared its teeth at Ji Siwei.

"Siwei!" Ji Siyun stood in front of Ji Siwei, looked at the crowd, with a rare displeasure on his gentle face, and asked coldly, "Where did the cat come from?!"

"Miss Ji, I'm sorry, this is my cat. No one is taking care of it at home today, so I brought it here." A man ran out in a panic and controlled the runaway cat: "It usually It's very obedient and clingy, so I dared to bring it here, I don't know what happened to it today."

"It has already been vaccinated. The wound on the young master's hand is too deep. He will definitely need stitches. I will take him to the hospital immediately. I will pay for the medical expenses. I'm really sorry..."

The wound on his hand was deep and bloody, what Ji Siyun said to that man, Ji Siwei didn't bother to listen at all, because he found out——

The position where the cat scratched happened to be where he was scratched by the mirror ghost in the dungeon.

Ah Ming said that if you are injured in the dungeon, your body will suffer more serious injuries in reality.

It seems that it was because Ah Ming gave him special medicine, so he escaped the catastrophe and suffered only minor injuries.

Ji Siwei closed his eyes, he didn't dare to think about what happened to those who died in the dungeon.
