I, the cannon fodder female supporting role, what happened to me?

Chapter 335 People can move normally after death

The figure outside the house has already reached the window, and the window can be opened by reaching out.

Sheng Xi was in the innermost part of the room, and it was too late to rush over.

The moment the housekeeper's hand touched the window, Yuan Xian quickly locked the window.

The housekeeper failed to pull the window, and immediately went to open another window.

Sheng Xi took advantage of the time difference to lock the second window when Yuan Xian locked the first window.

Both windows were locked, and the butler shouted again: "Guest, if you don't open the door, can you open a window? I'll pass you the candle."

Sheng Xi didn't answer, and hurriedly checked around the house with Yuan Xian to make sure there was only this one door and two windows.

The housekeeper didn't make another sound, and under the darkness of night, Sheng Xi heard the sound of Xingxisuo.

Yuan Xian pulled her behind, followed his gaze, a dagger pierced through the crack of the door from the outside, and quickly picked off the small section of the door latch.

Yuan Xian stood against the door, Sheng Xi drew his sword, and cut off the dagger where it was exposed.

When a high-level spirit sword meets this kind of dagger, it cuts iron like mud.

Yuan Xian inserted the latch back into place before it hit the ground.

The next second, the housekeeper shouted angrily from outside: "You guys open the door! Open the door for me!"

"Do you two think this kind of breaking the door can stop me!"

"Believe it or not I smashed this door!"

The flimsy wooden door slammed and slammed, and the lock behind the door shook back and forth, but as if by magic, this seemingly vulnerable door was still motionless at this moment.

That's the power of rules.

What makes this rule work is not the three-inch long latch, but the small brass lock that looks inconspicuous.

The housekeeper knocked on the door for a long time, and the curse became more and more ugly.

Sheng Xi ignored him, and whispered to Yuan Xian, "I'll beat him up tomorrow."

Yuan Xian expressionless: "I'll come."

Seeing that Sheng Xi and the others were not fooled, the housekeeper took a breath and said in a gentle voice, "Then I put the candle at the door, and the guests remember to take it."

The red lantern hanging under the eaves vaguely illuminated the figure he had left, and soon disappeared.

Sheng Xi was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he suddenly realized something was wrong.

The sound of footsteps disappeared too quickly, apparently stopping within two steps.

She could almost imagine that after the other party pretended to leave, they hid aside, and when they opened the door to fetch candles, they would hit them head-on.

Yuan Xian obviously thought of the same point, and shook his head at Chong Shengxi, indicating that her danger was not far away.

The two waited for a while, and there were slight footsteps outside, which was the sound of the butler's real departure.

Without the housekeeper's noise, Yuan Xian could finally talk to Sheng Xi properly: "Junior Sister, the rules here are also some level of protection."

Sheng Xi understood: "Following the rules can bring you blessings, but if you want to leave here, it's not enough just to follow the rules."

"Moreover, there are traps everywhere here, and if you are not careful, you may fall into danger."

Just like this butler, who is sincere on the surface, but may lie at any time.

Every word he said, Sheng Xi had to beat him hard to verify the truth.

Just as he was thinking, there was a crisp sound of small wooden blocks falling to the ground in the silent night.

Sheng Xi and Yuan Xian's nerves were tense, and they heard the terrified voice of the man in green outside: "How did you get in?!"

"Get out! Get out!"

"Don't come here! Don't-ah-"

A shrill scream pierced the sky, and then there was no more sound from the man in green.

Only all kinds of strange sounds came from there, like the sound of chopping meat and breaking bones, which made Sheng Xi's skin crawl all over.

Yuan Xian got up with a sullen face and got up to check the door and two windows. The brass door lock was still there, and although the wooden door latch was useless, it remained the same.

Windows are fine too.

The half of the dagger that was broken on the ground is still there.

"The butler should have more than one dagger to open the latch," Yuan Xian said.

Sheng Xi also guessed it: "It seems that the terrifying thing in Houyan's mansion in Zishi is probably the housekeeper."

"Maybe he's just one of them, and the one on the street is also very dangerous. In addition, there may be things we don't know about Wanjinzhuang." Yuan Xian frowned and made a silent gesture.

Under the silence of the night, there was a crisp sound of horseshoes, and a strange laughter accompanied by the sound of horseshoes.

It was exactly what they heard on the street.

The sound of horseshoes went from far to near, and from near to far, and then there was the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.

After a while, the sound of horseshoes approached again, and together with more wanton laughter sounded outside the house.

As the sound of horseshoes approached the door, the doors and windows were touched one by one, as if someone was testing whether the doors and windows were open.

Sheng Xi and Yuan Xian held their breaths until the sound of horseshoes echoing in the yard disappeared, and then they exchanged in low voices.

"Is it that thing on the street?" Sheng Xi asked.

Yuan Xian nodded slightly: "Listening to the movement, he only checked us and the two people opposite, and didn't check the room of the boss in green."

From this point of view, the boss in green should be completely cold.

"Familiarize yourself with the rules first. That piece of paper is gone after reading it. I always feel that the person who made the rules didn't want us to remember at all, and didn't want us to leave alive."

Sheng Xi and Yuan Xian are monks, so it's not a big problem to remember this.

But for monks or mortals with lower cultivation bases, it is really difficult for them to memorize so many things at once.

The two checked the next seventeen rules to make sure that the contents they memorized were consistent, so they were relieved.

Suddenly, Sheng Xi yawned.

She quickly pinched herself: "Why am I sleepy?"

Ever since he knew that Sheng Xi had the golden core, Jingchen Yuanjun taught her how to use this power.

The current Sheng Xi is a qualified Golden Core cultivator, he has been fasted for a long time, and it is no longer mandatory to sleep for a long time every night.

Yuan Xian was also a little sleepy. He squeezed the center of his brows, and suddenly thought of an unremarkable sentence in the rules: "Rule [-], at the end it says 'Please have a good rest'."

"Okay, let's go to sleep." Sheng Xi yawned and turned to check the bed.

Under normal night light, Sheng Xi, a monk, could see clearly what was going on inside the house.

The bedding was all new, no smell or weird stuff.

It seems that it is true that I specially asked the housekeeper for a clean room.

"Eldest brother..." Sheng Xi had just spoken when he saw Yuan Xian bring out a new quilt from the closet.

"I sleep on the floor." He leaned over to make the bed.

Sheng Xi thought of Yan Che, Xiao Liluo, and Hu Songyuan who occupied the dragon bed with him in the secret place of Pumi Mountain before, and couldn't help but want to praise his elder brother.

But when she opened her mouth, she yawned, her eyelids were as heavy as a mountain, and she lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

……

When I woke up, it was already dawn.

Sheng Xi glanced at the mechanical watch on his wrist, the hour had just passed.

Yuan Xian also just woke up, sitting up with one hand on the ground.

His hair was slightly disheveled, a little unruly.

He subconsciously looked at Sheng Xi.

The two looked at each other, and Sheng Xi waved his little hand at him: "Good morning, senior brother."

"Morning." Yuan Xian was stunned for a moment, as if he had fallen asleep.

There was a sound of opening the door outside the house, and it was the person from the opposite side who came out.

"Third brother, did you hear elder brother last night..." The other party fell silent when he finished speaking, apparently what happened last night left him with lingering fears.

The third child in green was also very scared: "I heard that, big brother, he—— big brother?!"

The second and third children in green clothes shouted at the same time, and the screams pierced the sky.

The boss in green who hated Shengxi last night snorted coldly: "What are you shouting for?"

The other two fell silent, huddled together trembling, and all looked at him in horror.

Sheng Xi and Yuan Xian looked at each other, and quickly got up to check the situation.

The half of the dagger that had fallen at the door was gone.

The boss in green clothes stood alive and kicking at the door of the room, cursing at the two younger brothers: "Why are you hiding? Isn't it good for me!"

With such a tragic movement last night, unless he faked it, it is impossible for him to be alive.

But judging from the cautiousness shown by the boss in green, it is impossible for him to do this kind of prank.

Sheng Xi only opened the door a crack, revealing her and Yuan Xian's heads up and down.

Looking at the person who was yelling at the younger brother, she asked in a low voice: "Brother, do you still remember rule No.15?"

Yuan Xian responded softly: "Yes."

[No. 15: People die when they are killed, and they can go about their normal activities after death. 】
