Light and Darkness (IV)

...

Jingyan was not in the room at this moment.

But according to the settings in the book, he will stay in the room and stay in the door these two days.

Could it be that something is hidden in the book and has not been written?

Without time to think about it, Qiao Qiao subconsciously shrank into the corner after hearing Shu Ling's words. She looked left and right and asked in a low voice: "Do you know where he is now?"

"How could I know what is not written in the book?"

Shu Ling couldn't stand Qiao Qiao's look so scared of Jingyan, but it still spoke and comforted: "Don't worry, at least I didn't feel his breath around here."

That means she is safe now. Qiao Qiao breathed a sigh of relief and put on her cape and went downstairs quickly.

Coincidentally, there was a problem with the circuit in the castle tonight, and a small number of street lights outside were collectively stopped.

Just now, the clouds covered the moon, and the faint moonlight perfectly covered Qiao Qiao's black cloak. She wanted to say "The right time and place". The cold wind that came towards her almost suffocated. She covered her mouth and nose with her hands and covered her cloak tighter.

"It's really getting colder these two days."

The cold winter here is far colder than the cold winter in reality. The strong wind at night is mixed with the smell of dampness, and the surroundings are dark and look a bit terrifying.

Qiao Qiao was avoiding the patrol soldiers while walking towards the sidelines. She was so timid that she was very glad that Shu Ling was accompanied by her, so she couldn't help but communicate with it.

"I can't feel it's cold or not, but I feel that since you left Castle C, there have been people following you."

“…Why didn’t you say it earlier?

!”

Qiao Qiao was shocked and looked back quickly, but she was faster than someone. In a hurry, Qiao Qiao only saw the white shadow flashing by, but she didn't see the man's face clearly.

"Who is following me?"

Castle C is where Qiao Qiao lives. Those who can live in that area are princes and princesses and other royal clans.

Before Qiao Qiao could guess who the person who followed him was, Shu Ling spoke.

"It's Jingyun."

fine.

"It's better if it's not Jingyan."

In order to get rid of Jing Yun, Qiao Qiao walked to a more sideways.

After she finally got rid of the person, it had already taken a lot of time. Shuling urged anxiously: "You go to the attic quickly, I can't hold on for long!"

Why doesn’t Qiao Qiao want to be quick?

Liantingzhu's attic was built after the ancient castle of Building B. The attic is connected to Chengbi Lake and connects most of the back garden. It takes Qiao Qiao a while to walk through Building C, not to mention that she has also been in a lot of circles with Jing Yun.

It was cold and cold that day. When Qiao Qiao successfully walked to Lianting attic, she felt a lot of sweat on her forehead.

The three places here were once the most lively, but now it has become a remote and gloomy place.

Qiao Qiao took advantage of the fact that no one was walking in. Fortunately, Jing Qiao's room also had the key to this attic, so it was easy for her to enter.

"Lingling?"

The dust was covered with dust from the loft that had been abandoned for a long time, and Qiao Qiao was timid and a little scared.

She held the small mirror in her hand and shouted Shuling. Shuling responded lazily, "The first floor must not be what you want. Go to the third floor to have a look."

Qiao Qiao found the stairs and climbed up quickly.

At this moment, the moon was almost completely covered by the clouds, and Qiao Qiao's ability to see things was weak in the dark environment.

Because she was worried about being discovered, she couldn't illuminate the lights and could only touch her in a mess.

There are four rooms on the third floor, and Qiao Qiao took the lead in the study.

"How do you find this?"

When I opened the study room, I entered the book three rows of bookshelves. Not only thousands or hundreds of books were mentioned. If she wanted to read it one by one, she would have to read it.

"No, there are no books from the witch clan here."

After all, the book spirit is also the spirit in the book. After spending some spiritual power, you will know that there is nothing they need here.

Qiao Qiao gave up struggling and was about to move the position and go to search elsewhere, but Shu Ling suddenly said to her: "Jo Qiao, someone is approaching near the attic."

"Who, who, who?"

Qiao Qiao was so scared to death by Shuling.

At this time, she happened to walk to the window and squatted decisively after hearing Shu Ling's words. She didn't know what was pressing on her back. She only heard a click, and a small corner of the wall leaning against her back protruded.

"It's Jing Yun again."

Shu Ling found the person who was approaching, "She stayed near the attic and didn't seem to be ready to get close."

"She's so annoying."

Qiao Qiao was scared by her twice, and Jing Yun seemed to have never given up until she killed her.

Now there is a tiger and leopard in front of her and there is no way out. She is clearly living in dire straits, but there is one among them, Jing Yun, who is constantly asking for trouble for her.

"As long as she doesn't get close to you."

Feeling that Shu Ling's voice was getting weaker and weaker, Qiao Qiao couldn't care about Jing Yun at this time.

She looked closer to the corner and found that the inner hollow that had just emerged from the wall was a small key inside.

"key……"

Qiao Qiao took the keys, found several locked cabinets and tried them, but found that they could not be opened.

She always felt that the key seemed to be related to what she wanted to find. After she exited the study, she looked at the stairs beside her, which had the last floor on it.

“Where is the fourth floor?”

Shu Ling searched in her consciousness and replied: "There is only one room on the entire fourth floor, and it is still a place to store miscellaneous things. Do you think Lian Ting would put such an important thing there?"

"You'll know if you go and take a look."

They have searched all the places they should find, but now there is only the attic on the fourth floor left and hasn't been to the place yet.

Qiao Qiao held the key and went upstairs. After seeing the big lock on it, she raised her eyebrows slightly, with a guess-making expression.

"It seems that this room is the only locked in the entire loft?"

Click—

As the key was inserted into the lock core, the heavy lock made a crisp clicking sound.

This key is indeed from the fourth floor, but what is disappointing after opening the door is-

It's clean inside, nothing.

"Lian heard where did Lian put the witch clan's forbidden books..."

After searching for so long, even though Qiao Qiao, who is very patient, is a little confused.

At this time, she only regretted that she did not bring Jing Qiao's original memory when she came through. After all, the original owner, as Lian Ting's daughter, has lived here for many years, and should have a good understanding of life here.

It was clearly a place where debris were piled up, but there was nothing inside.

But since there is nothing, why did Lianting lock this room separately and try hard to hide the key in the mechanism?

If something goes wrong, there will be a demon!

At this time, the spiritual power of the Shuling was much weaker than before, and in order to maintain the spiritual power, it basically stopped talking.

Now Qiao Qiao can only rely on herself. She forced herself to calm down and calm down. After a little calm, she began to fumble in the room.

She thought that since Lian Ting could hide the key in the mechanism, she would probably hide the book in the mechanism in the same way.

After some exploration, Qiao Qiao's hands were covered with dust.

She continued to search patiently, and finally noticed something was wrong in the gap in the floor covering the carpet.

"Finally found!"

He knocked tentatively, and the floor was obviously empty.

Qiao Qiao tried many ways to remove the floor. What appeared in front of her was a dilapidated book. When she picked it up, Shuling also spoke, "This is the forbidden book of the witch clan!"

It took so long to get from here that Jing Yun had already left impatiently.

After Qiao Qiao stuffed the book into her clothes, she wrapped her cloak and was about to go out, but when she walked to the corner of the second floor, she heard Shu Ling say in a hurry: "Jiao Qiao, lie down quickly."

"Is Jing Yun back?"

There happened to be a window around the corner of the second floor. After several times of Shu Ling's crisis reminder, Qiao Qiao had adapted.

At this time, she was squatting under the window. Before Shu Ling could answer, she carefully poked out half of her head. She muttered dissatisfiedly: "Why is she always ghost..."

Mom, my god!

Half of the complaining words were swallowed back into his stomach. He just glanced at Qiao Qiao and quickly retracted his head.
