Monument of Life and Death

  Chapter 223 Missing

  "Have you found the answer..."

  The female voice in the dream.

  "Answer..."

  Answer.

what is the answer.

   "Found, the answer here."

   Xiaolan wants to find the origin of the sound, but there is darkness in front of her eyes, and there is nothingness beside her.

  I can’t make any sound.

  The voice is getting away.

   "Find the answer, Xiaolan."

   "Boom!"

   Knocking his head on the ground lightly, Xiao Lan took a breath of pain.

"what!"

   "Plop..."

  Not far from him, there was a short scream, followed by the sound of something falling to the ground.

"Who?"

   Xiaolan sat up instantly, and reached out to touch the lock whip that was under his head before going to bed.

empty.

  A piece of empty space on the ground.

  The night is dark, there is no moonlight, Xiaolan can't see anything, and can only tell the direction by sound and touch.

  Reminiscent of the feeling of head knocking on the ground when I first woke up.

  It was clear that the lock whip was quickly taken away from under his head.

   Xiaolan fumbled to the location of her companion in the memory.

   is still there, the soft touch is still there.

  "Sister Xiaoyin!..." Xiaolan increased the shaking.

   "Hmm...huh?..." The body was moving, "Xiao...Xiaolan? What's the matter? You scared me to death..."

  "It seems something has happened, something has happened, Xiaoyin," Xiaolan grabbed Xiaoyin's hand, "Where's our flashlight? Where is the fool?"

  As soon as the voice fell, a beam of white light suddenly illuminated the black promenade.

  After a brief light blindness, Xiaolan moved away the hand covering his eyes, and saw that the fool had brought the bright flashlight to his side, and other people also woke up under the light.

   "What's the matter?" The fool put the flashlight flat on the ground, "I seem to hear someone scream, is that you Xiaolan?"

   Xiaolan just wanted to open her mouth, but an exclamation rang in her ear.

   "Jasmine!"

   Luo Jiutian screamed and rushed forward.

   Xiaolan only noticed that, slightly far away, Jasmine, wearing a dark green jacket, was lying face down on the ground, motionless.

  Lao Luo and Dao Master also hurriedly got up, Xiao Lan ran behind them.

  Luo Jiutian has lightly lifted Jasmine, who was lying on her stomach, around her shoulders and half hugged her.

   Xiaolan hurriedly squeezed to the front and looked at Jasmine.

  I saw Jasmine, who had not regained consciousness, still lay in Luo Jiutian's arms, and the area from the neckline to the hem of the brown sweater was completely red with blood.

this is? !

  Lao Luo bypassed Jiutian and Dao Master to the other side of Jasmine, reaching out and picking up something from the ground.

   "This...what's going on?" Lao Luo said, raising his eyes and looking at Xiaolan questioningly.

   Xiao Lan lowered her head, only to find that the two lock whips that fell beside Jasmine were actually the two lock whips that she used to cushion her neck.

  Now he has the biggest suspicion.

"I put the spirit lock whip under my head before I went to bed," Xiaolan explained quickly, "When I was dreaming, I felt the spirit lock whip under my head was taken away, and when I woke up, I heard the cry. There is also the sound of something falling, maybe... it may be Jasmine."

  Fortunately, the companion didn't doubt it any more, and a group of people checked Jasmine's injuries.

   Xiaoyin lightly opened Jasmine's clothes, and a long stab wound was cut from Jasmine's left collarbone to the middle of her chest. The wound was very long, but fortunately it was not deep, and the bleeding had stopped, and it didn't seem to be a major problem.

   Xiaoyin didn't even look at it, and stretched out his hand behind him, "Baomu takes Qibaiyao."

  There was no movement for a long time.

   "Baomu?" Xiaoyin said and looked back.

  Only the fool stood behind her, and the fool reacted, squatting down and rummaging through the backpack.

   "Huh? Where's Baomu?" Xiaoyin looked around, but couldn't find him after looking around.

  A burst of cold climbed up Xiaolan's back.

  In the area in front of her eyes, plus the unconscious Jasmine, there were only seven people.

   Baomu just disappeared before everyone's eyes.

   "Did Baomu go out by himself?" the fool said in a panic.

  No one can answer his question.

  A companion disappeared, and a companion was injured.

  This night suddenly became dangerous.

  Daoist stood up, picked up another small flashlight and ran to the ruins of the exit, looking around.

  There are no living creatures in the square.

Dao Chang shook his head, frowned, turned and walked back with a gloomy expression on his face.

Halfway through   , he suddenly freezes.

   Xiaolan noticed Dao Chang’s abnormality and ran over.

   "What did you find?"

  Dao Chang is staring at the ground, "There is blood here."

  On the marble floor, a dark brown smeared bloodstain was visible.

   Xiaolan's heart suddenly lifted, "It won't be..."

  Tao Master took a photo. This bloodstain started from Jasmine's position and spread to the place where the two of them were standing, and then disappeared.

   "Is this Jasmine's blood?"

"I don't know, but it won't be the mark made by Jasmine," said the long eyes on the cloud cage. "As you can hear, Jasmine fell at that position. If the blood here is from Jasmine, it should be It's dripping or spraying blood."

  The blood stains here are like the blood stains left by an injured person being dragged past.

   Xiaolan felt that her scalp was numb, and she was so nervous that she just wanted to squat on the ground to calm down.

  Why is it the most resistant treasure wood.

  I slept so deeply.

  If something happened to Baomu...

  I can’t forgive myself.

   Xiaoyin couldn't stop shaking while bandaging Jasmine's wound.

   Hold back... can't cry...

  The fool took Xiaoyin's shoulders and patted her left arm.

   "Don't worry, Baomu boy, I know, he is just looking stupid, but he is actually very clever."

   "Jasmine has been injured so badly, Bao Mu can't know anything..."

   Xiaoyin choked as he spoke.

  Luo Jiutian and Lao Luo confirmed that Jasmine's injuries were unharmed, and got up and walked towards Dao Chang and Xiaolan.

  "What can I find?" Lao Luo said and noticed the trail of blood under his feet, "Is there any trace of Baomu brother?"

  Dao Master had not yet opened his mouth, Luo Jiutian called out first.

   "There is blood on this painting!" Luo Jiutian pointed to the oil painting behind Xiaolan, "There is blood under the frame!"

  A few people quickly examined them in detail.

  There is a faint blood stain on the bottom edge of the dark gold frame.

  Draw.

  The overall tone of this painting is very dark, with a large area of ​​black and red background, and a few freehand colors are drawn in a mess.

  When a few people saw this painting for the first time, they didn't understand what it was about.

  But with the darkness of the night and the bloodstains echoing in the distance, Xiaolan actually understood the composition of this painting a little bit.

"Under this, the red..." Xiaolan pointed to the lower part of the painting, "Like some kind of red flower, the black on the top, like the night sky, the red on the top, do you think...like A knife."

  Dao Chang stared at the oil painting, and gestured along Xiaolan's thoughts.

  "The two reddish-brown vertical bars are very similar to columns made of red logs, with trapezoidal knives on them. This..." Dao Long's eyes were dark and his voice lowered, "This is a guillotine."
