[It’s so scary. It might as well have been two skeletons all along. Isn’t it even scarier now?]

[It feels like they are like the living dead.]

"Why did the two guests come down? Is there anything unclean in the guest room?" The two noticed Chu Zhen and Lin Guihe coming down, and the wife asked considerately.

In the real world, this service attitude could really give her five stars. But here, she just wants to destroy their business.

But he still had a friendly smile on his face and said, "No, no, we just couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and wanted to go out for a walk. You don't have to worry about us."

Hearing her words, the woman smiled even weirder, "Oh, then you have to be careful and be careful of what you encounter. It's not peaceful recently."

She said something uneasy, but her smile didn't look like she was afraid, but rather like...expectation?

Chu Zhen gave a fake smile and quickly pulled Lin Guihe out of the inn, feeling increasingly uneasy.

Ever since they fell into the underground river, their uneasiness had been growing, especially since they had never seen the man wearing the bronze mask.

Lin Guihe also felt something was wrong.

Why does a real ancient country appear underground in Gu Village?

What is the relationship between Gu Village and Juxi Ancient Country?

Do the people in Gu Village know that there is an ancient Juxi country underground?

Many questions are swirling in my mind.

The night breeze blew gently, and the two walked slowly, and finally reached the city wall.

Looking up at the high city wall, there is a city tower on the city wall. It is a very simple city tower, just a small pavilion built with a few stone pillars, but it is the highest place in the entire city.

The two people walked up the city wall. When they went up, they took a special look at the two guards standing by the city wall. Sure enough, like the couple, they had become living "people".

Standing on the tower, you can easily overlook the entire capital city.

The capital was much larger than they imagined, and was clearly divided into four levels.

The inn they stayed in was only on the outermost floor, which was also the busiest floor. There were many small merchants and hawkers, and you could still faintly hear the singing from the church not far away.

The middle two floors are probably dedicated residential areas, and the houses become more luxurious as you go inside.

The innermost floor is the Imperial City, which is magnificent and magnificent, with angular eaves. It is so luxurious.

Directly opposite the Imperial City, facing from a distance is a huge sacrificial altar, a three-story trapezoidal altar with four huge stone pillars on it, which looks very familiar.

It was exactly the same as the sacrificial altar they saw before!

The only difference is probably that there are no stacks of bones around the sacrificial altar here.

"Lin Guihe, look at that sacrificial altar. Is it exactly the same as the one we saw before?" Zhu Zhen's first reaction was to tell Lin Guihe, but after he finished speaking, he realized something was wrong.

Since when did you become so dependent on him?

Obviously she hated him the most at the beginning, because he had a cold face and was overly sensitive, which made her always more wary of him than others.

But it was such a person who broke through her defenses faster than anyone else and entered her heart.

Even now, when something happens, her first reaction is to tell him.

She seemed to be relying on him more and more.

"It is indeed the same." Lin Guihe nodded and said: "The layout of this imperial city also looks a bit strange. Let's go back and draw the layout of the entire capital to take a look."

He turned to look at Zhu Zhen and found that her face looked a little ugly.

"What's wrong with you? You don't look good."

Chu Zhen came back to his senses, pursed his lips, shook his head, and stiffly changed the subject, "Then let's go back and discuss it with Bi Li and the others."

She quietly moved her gaze away, not daring to face Lin Guihe. Lin Guihe looked at her side face quietly, his eyes bottomless.

But in the end he didn't ask anything and just said "ok".

The two people walked down the tower.

On the way back, Za Zhen walked in front without saying a word, while Lin Guihe followed behind her.

They seemed to be back to the way they were before, each with their own concerns and wary of each other.

Lin Guihe frowned. He didn't like this feeling very much, so he took two quick steps and walked side by side with Zhu Zhen.

He slowly stretched out his hand as if to touch the back of Zhu Zhen's hand, hesitated for a moment in the air, and finally took her hand.

Unless he was really distracted, he didn't notice Lin Guihe's movements. He didn't let go of his hand until he reached the inn.

It was already dark now, the sun was rising from the streets in the distance, and the morning glow dyed the clouds red.

They stayed out for so long.

She looked up at the sun in the distance. The early morning sun was still dazzling. She stretched out her hand to block it, but she felt more and more that the sun was extremely false.

When the two entered the inn, Liu Yun and Bi Li were already awake and were sitting on the first floor waiting for them to come back.

Seeing the two of them, Liu Yun asked impatiently: "What were you doing so early in the morning? I just went to look for you and you were not in the room."

"I couldn't sleep and went out for a walk." Zhu Zhen said.

Bi Li: "Did you see that couple when you went out?"

"I saw it, not just them, but also the guards at the city gate. I guess it's like this all over the city now."

Liu Yun clicked his tongue, "This city is really weird. Let's find a way to leave as soon as possible."

They walked out of the inn, thinking about wandering outside to look for any clues.

Chu Zhen followed them silently. After walking a few steps, he suddenly heard the sound of the system.

[Congratulations to the host for unlocking the side mission: Mirror Flower, Water Moon. Completing the mission will reward you with ten skill points.]

Except Zhen was stunned for a moment, what did she do? Why was the mission suddenly triggered?

At this moment, Liu Yun suddenly said: "Is there something posted over there?"

Zhu Zhen turned around and looked over, and there was a notice posted on the wall next to them.

When I looked closer, I saw a reward notice, saying that a monster that could transform into a human appeared in the forest by the river. If I could kill the monster, I would get a generous reward.

This is probably what the landlady mentioned as "not peaceful".

"A monster that can turn into a human being? Then isn't this whole city full of monsters?" Liu Yun sneered lightly and didn't care, but Lin Guihe had already torn down the notice.

He opened his eyes wide, "You don't want to catch this monster, do you?"

"This is the only information point we have at the moment. Maybe we can gain something."

"I also think it's good to go take a look." Bi Li agreed, then looked at Chu Zhen, who glanced at Lin Guihe, and finally nodded.

The minority obeys the majority, and Liu Yun can only obey everyone's arrangements.

The group of people followed the instructions on the notice and came to the dark river. They didn't look carefully before, but now they discovered that there was actually a forest beside the dark river.

The trees in the forest are lush and lush, and the strange thing is that there is not a single fallen leaf on the ground.
