"Ah? Did you find anything? Don't scare me."

Xilan leaned against the head of the bed, flashing through a series of things that had happened to her or heard recently, and tightened the blanket wrapped around her.

Fanning looked around the room and slowly walked to her bed.

"Are you saying there's something wrong with my bedroom?" Xilan asked again.

She subconsciously made a move to move away a little, but later she moved to where Fanning was standing with the blanket.

"I feel something is wrong in the whole house, but I'm not sure about the details."

Fanning realized that the silk pajamas she was wearing were too thin, so she took a few steps back and turned her back.

"Sorry... Do you need to add another piece of clothing?"

"Thank you." Xilan said timidly, stood up from the bed, and took off the blanket wrapped around her.

She reached out and bent over to the small chair in front of the screen, picked up the violet cotton robe she wore in the living room, and draped it over the silk pajamas.

Fanning carefully sensed every blind spot in Xilan's boudoir. After confirming that there seemed to be nothing unusual, he temporarily breathed a sigh of relief.

After he was promoted to a knowledgeable person, he seemed to have a kind of...strange perception of the etheric body, emotional body, and spatial environment where the living beings moved around?

He tried to close his eyes for a little longer than blinking, trying to imprint the surrounding scene in the darkness in front of him.

This made him feel that there seemed to be a light golden beam of light penetrating his astral body from the top of his head and then passing through his crotch, with no beginning and no end.

Next came the second light golden beam of light, which had no beginning and no end, entering the astral body from the left armpit and passing through the right armpit.

The third beam of light entered the astral body from the shoulder blade in the front chest and passed through the back, still without a beginning and no end.

The beams of light converged at his chest, where he seemed to imagine a bright sphere. Under the inspiration of the "candle", the sphere took on a pearly color, shone with a cool flame, and slowly expanded, like a "field" of inspiration, enveloping the surrounding objects.

Now Fanning's vision was covered with a layer of dark gold, similar to wearing 3D movie glasses in his previous life, but different things showed various lights and shadows that he had never seen before.

He found that every object had various phase attributes, but the intensity of ordinary things, especially dead objects, was very low.

And when he tried to look at Xilan standing barefoot on the bed——

The girl's etheric body was mainly light green, with a relatively uniform texture. Fanning felt that this vitality might be the "cocoon" phase, and the heart and main artery area transitioned from dark green to the pink "pool" phase; her outer emotional body was milky white as a whole, with some dark blue and bright red light and shadow jumping; her outermost astral body was lighter in color overall, with only a small amount of golden "candle" on the head, and transitioned from light yellow to the silver-white "wild" phase...

But he didn't know how to interpret these colors yet.

"Carlon, what's wrong?" Xilan felt a little restrained when she saw Fanning staring at her, and folded the corners of her clothes with her little hands.

"It's okay, let's go out and take a look. For safety reasons, you come with me." Fanning retracted his thoughts and made a suggestion.

"Do you really want to go out?" Xilan pouted, "I think if something is wrong, it's safer for us to lock ourselves in the room together."

With a "sizzle", Fanning lit a match and walked towards Xilan's dressing table.

"Carron, the gas light is on." Hiran said.

Fanning still lit the tallow candle on the candlestick.

Then he blew out the matchstick with a "whoosh": "If there is really something mysterious, it's useless to be separated by the door."

"Let's go, go out and take a look, I will protect you."

"Okay." Hiran looked at Fanning, feeling the seriousness and determination in his eyes, he finally felt a little relieved.

The two first went down to the underground storage room on the first floor, and then to the living room, study, dining room, kitchen on the first floor.

Everywhere he went, Fanning turned on the gas light in the room.

Fanning felt more and more confused. His initial inspiration did detect that there was something unusual in the house - when he was promoted to a knower in the bedroom, he felt an unusual silver-white color nearby, and a strange blue phase.

"This abnormal phase fluctuation intensity is not low. It is not a 'candle', nor a 'key' or 'pool', nor is it the 'cocoon' that symbolizes vitality. It seems to have 'barrenness', and there is another one I don't understand." Fanning recalled these phases that he had initially understood.

In the carpet-like search, his intuition was in a state of "sometimes not sometimes".

Fanning searched very carefully, including the fireplace, the piano, behind the curtains, the kitchen cabinets, and the cloakroom. He opened them all and checked.

"The abnormal phase is 'sometimes not sometimes', this description is not accurate, the feeling that inspiration brings to me should be 'discontinuous', this description is still inaccurate"

Fanning stopped in front of the dressing mirror on the first floor and carefully sensed something.

"Carlon, I'm a little scared, how about we go back to the bedroom now?" Shiran pulled Fanning's sleeve and begged.

"Don't be afraid, let's go back to the second floor now, go to the teacher's former master bedroom, and take a last look." Fanning responded with comfort.

"Very jumpy! Yes, this abnormal feeling of phase, very jumpy!" When going upstairs, Fanning finally found the correct adjective in his mind.

When he was preparing to sleep in the guest room at first, he felt that the abnormal feeling was around him, but when he further experienced it, the feeling disappeared.

So he erred on the side of caution and immediately went to Hiran's place.

Later, he felt that the abnormality seemed to be downstairs, but he didn't notice anything now.

The two of them went to Teacher Anton's master bedroom on the second floor and turned on the gas lamp.

The place has been cleaned very neatly, with new beds and quilts, and some of the clothes from before death were locked in lockers in the basement. It just looks like a larger guest room.

In Fan Ning's vision with a dark golden background, the halo flashed away, and in the remaining memories in his mind, it seemed to transition from cyan to grey-green, dark gray and then to the edge of silver.

Fan Ning followed the directions and looked at two easy chairs, a small square walnut table, playing cards, a small bronze mirror and an airship model.

"Did I misunderstand the symbol I saw during the inspiration visit? Or is it because I have just been promoted and am in an unstable state?" Fan Ning began to doubt himself.

"Sheeran, go back." Seeing the tired, nervous and confused look in the little girl's eyes, Fan Ning sighed.

Alas, in the middle of the night...

She probably didn't sleep much in the first three nights of vigil, and she was going through it again today.

The two of them returned to the bedroom, which was filled with a faint fragrance. As soon as they stepped in, Xilan quickly locked the door.

Fan Ning sat down on the fabric armchair in the bedroom, put his legs on the small stool in front of him, and lay back a little: "Sheeran, turn off the light and go to bed first."

Sheeran showed an expression of relief, gave a long yawn, and got into the blanket with her nightgown.

The gas lamp was turned off, and the cold wind blew outside the window, but the flame of the tallow candle on the dressing table seemed to be still.

Fan Ning put his hands on the back of his head and closed his eyes to rest.

After about ten minutes, Sheeran whispered: "Caron, if you feel uncomfortable, you can lie down for a while."

After another three or four seconds, he added: "I mean on the edge of the bed."

"I'm fine, you can go to sleep." Fan Ning said.

"oh."

After a while, the girl's breathing began to become even and inaudible.

Under the dim light and the faint fragrance, Fan Ning's whole body gradually relaxed, and his eyelids began to fight.

Just when the consciousness flowing in his mind was about to turn into fragmented words that lost logic——

Next to the wooden embroidered screen not far from me, in the floor-to-ceiling mirror, in addition to the normal reflections, something suddenly seemed to flash across!

Fan Ning's eyes suddenly opened, and when he saw the situation clearly in the dim light, his heart almost stopped.

The shadow of a hand poked out from the lower right corner of the mirror!

"Holy shit!" Fan Ning blurted out this for the first time in Chinese after time travel.

He was so frightened that he jumped up from his seat!
