Monument of Life and Death

   Chapter 526

  The biting cold rushed over her shoulders.

  When Xiaolan's right foot landed, she felt her body soft.

   Then, her body rolled out the door.

  The traction of the hair was still there, Xiaolan quickly got up from the ground and ran up the stairs according to the guidance of the hair.

"boom!"

  There was a huge door slamming behind him.

  Clearly there is no door, but the sound of closing the door really sounded.

   Xiaolan ran desperately.

   Panting hard, she turned her head on the stairs to look around.

  The door of the room still looks like that, there is no door, but the air at the edge of the door seems to be distorted, as if... a transparent person is standing there.

what is that?

   Soon, the appearance of the door disappeared before his eyes.

   Xiaolan ran to the first floor of the minaret, rushing out of the eaves of the tower that sheltered the rain, and rushed into the dense rain curtain.

  Suddenly her right hand was pulled down.

  The power from that strand of hair disappeared.

  Yes...Is it safe?

  If this hair really belongs to Shandora, why did she let herself run out?

   "Sandora..." Xiaolan looked at the hair around her fingertips and whispered, "Sandora..."

no response.

  It's almost dawn.

  Now, where should I go?

   Xiaolan thought, and walked around the back of the tower again.

  She stood where the maid’s body was found.

  At least there is no rain here.

   Xiaolan wiped her face.

and many more.

   Can't get in the rain?

   Xiaolan raised her head.

  Above his head, there is a small balcony protruding like the edge of the front of the minaret. With the shelter of that balcony, the position where he is standing is not caught by the rain.

  Why is there a balcony here?

  Xiaolan recalled the layout of the top of the minaret. Except for the front edge, there was no other structure extending there.

  Where did this balcony come from?

  Xiaolan checked the location of the balcony in her heart, and she was surprised.

   is that room...

  On the outside of that room, there is actually a balcony.

   is just outside the space enclosed by layers of wooden boards.

  No matter how they searched, they didn't find the first scene of killing the maid in the manor. Could it be because the first scene was simply on this sealed balcony.

  Then the invisible thing just now, is it preparing to treat yourself...

   Xiaolan's shoulder shook.

  At this time, a slight force came from the hair.

  Although it was not as urgent as before, Xiaolan still followed the instructions of the hair and ran away from the place quickly.

  Hair ran back to the garden with Xiaolan.

   Xiaolan stepped up to the corridor in the garden, and after running a few steps on the corridor, the direction of her hair shifted a bit.

  It was running towards the corner of the garden with Xiaolan.

   Xiaolan stepped on the damp soil and green grass, carefully avoiding a few tulip clumps, and soon, what appeared in front of her was...a pool of lake water.

  The stream that winds through the entire courtyard gathers here, and the drizzle makes a circle of ripples on the water. At this time, before the sun has reached the surface, the lake is still black and blue, and petals of various colors are floating and spinning on the water.

  Hair is still pulling Xiaolan towards the lake.

  In the lake... there is something?

   Xiaolan carefully moved to the water's edge.

  In the surface of the water, ripples also appeared on her face.

   is a little bit unlike herself.

  Fasil is still urging Xiaolan to move on.

   "Sandra," Xiaolan looked at her index finger helplessly, "I can't jump down."

  The hair flicked a few more times, and finally no movement.

   "This... can you really understand?"

   Xiaolan feels like she has a strange pet.

  The rain is getting heavier.

   Xiaolan looked at herself reflected in the water, black hair, black eyes, pale lips...

  Compared to myself...

  This face seems more like another person.

   Then, that face smiled.

  Am I smiling?

   Xiaolan touched the corner of her mouth in a panic.

  In the surface of the water, his hands also appeared.

   emerges...

   appeared.

  A pair of thin and pale hands suddenly emerged from the water and directly grabbed Xiaolan's ankle.

   Xiaolan raised her foot to run, but her hands were so powerful that she grabbed Xiaolan’s leg and dragged her into the water.

   "Ah! — Gulugulugulu..."

   Xiaolan watched the bubbles that she spit slowly rise.

  At this time, a face appeared in front of her.

  The familiar feeling struck.

   Xiaolan suddenly fell into a dream.

  It's over, it's cold now.

  When Xiaolan sat up from the bed, she had only this thought in her mind.

  After that, get out of bed.

   Following the protagonist of Dreamland, Xiaolan took a few steps and sat on a chair.

  Everything in the room is familiar.

  This is the bedroom where Sandora lived, which is the master bedroom of Morwen Manor.

  The black-eyed face was reflected in the mirror.

   is the face that appeared on the water.

  Xiaolan still remembers that one of Mr. Mo Wen’s wives drowned in this stream.

  So now, what I see is her story.

  I simply combed my makeup, my sleeping face faded, my face refined, I changed my pajamas, opened the door and walked out.

  Yrel, Moses, and Lily smiled and stood at the dining table.

  Quiet meal.

   "Mother," Moses held up his hand cutely after the meal, "We want to go to the garden."

As soon as Xiaolan saw this face, her back was cold, but this feeling was obviously not transmitted to this body, she nodded, and after a while, she took her two children out with her umbrella. Closed the door.

  The weather was gloomy, and there was a little rain in the air. While complaining about why the two children went out to play in this kind of weather, he took them to the side of the castle and came to a desolate garden.

  It was late autumn, and the wind and rain were bitter. There was not a single flower in full bloom in the garden, only some bare flower branches.

   He trembled.

  "Lily, Moses, look, I said, there are no flowers now."

  The two children smiled and pointed to the stream in the middle of the garden, "Can we go play in the water?"

   "How can this..." I quickly grabbed the arms of the two children, "It's too dangerous!"

   "This is just a small stream, very shallow." Moses dragged himself to the side of the stream and said, pointing to the stream.

  The water of the stream is only as deep as the forearm, and it is crystal clear.

   "But... even so..."

   "We just want to build a small castle with the mud near the water. Isn't that okay?" Moses looked at himself pitifully.

  No! No!

   Xiaolan yelled in her heart, but it was useless.

   He sighed and waved the back of his hand.

   "Go, but don't get too close to the water."

  The two children screamed for joy and squeezed the mud.

  Now they are not by the river, maybe it’s not time for this person to die...

  At this moment, Moses stood up and waved to himself.

   "Mother, come and have a look!"
