Chapter 89
How can I be born in Japan and sit in the second to last row by the window in the classroom and be surrounded by girls?
Liu Ji wandered to the door, turned into a burst of sand and drifted past the window, and took a look inside at that moment.
It seemed to be a utility room. The woman was sitting in the corner of the room, her head lowered, her hair covering her face, and her expression could not be seen clearly.
Liu Ji was not in a hurry to contact her, and wandered into a nearby house.
The door is unlocked, or in other words, few houses in the village have locks. The door can only be locked with the bolt on the inside when there is someone at home.
"This should be where they live..." Liu Ji thought and looked around.
Um.
The family is surrounded by walls... I can't say that.
But there is only a table, a bed, two stools, a kitchen, and then some sundries.
Perhaps the most valuable thing in the whole house is an iron pot.
Liu Ji looked around and found nothing of value.
It's right to think about it. People here can't read a word. This is not a puzzle game. What other pieces of paper can he find with clues written on it?
After wandering around for a while with no results, Liu Ji came outside the house again.
Since the male owner here is so "Asasi", then this woman would rather smash the caravan and want to leave here. At least now it seems that it is not for any reason such as "the abuse she usually suffers is unbearable".
So what's the problem?
Do you have any ideas...
Um.
If you don't understand the language, you really don't have a good idea.
Just when Liu Ji was distressed, suddenly, he heard some footsteps approaching here.
Liu Ji raised his eyebrows, and the next moment, it turned into a ball of loose sand and disappeared into the air.
Not long after, an old villager came to the door with several male villagers.
The old villager glanced at the rope tied to the shelf, then walked outside the door and took a look inside the house.
Then, he greeted the villagers behind him, cut the rope and entered the door.
Immediately afterwards, a woman's cry and scream came from the house, but soon it turned into an indistinct whine.
Within two minutes, the group of villagers took out the tied-up woman. The old villager winked at the other villagers and led them away.
In the shadows, Liu Ji's figure appeared again.
"Hey, I didn't expect that the clues would come to my door by themselves..." Liu Ji muttered, his body turned into a puff of dust again, and he followed quietly.
137. 2-in-1 Why isn’t there a diary with clues on the desk?
"Bang!"
The heavy door was slammed shut, and the old villager wrapped a heavy chain around the door handle, and then locked the chain tightly with a big old lock.
After leaving a villager to guard the door, he left with the others.
In the shadows, Liu Ji was a little disappointed.
He thought he would gain much, but in the end, these people just moved the woman from one place to another.
However, this place is really interesting.
He originally thought that the wall on the inside of the village was the edge of the village, but he didn't expect that after bypassing the two staggered walls, there was actually a cave behind it.
The room where the woman was held was a house made of polished stone bricks and clay.
In this village where most buildings are made of wood, it is a rare high-end house.
However, this seems to be just a warehouse.
Next to this low brick house, there were several very similar brick houses. Liu Ji looked in one by one from the window. Most of them contained some sundries.
Some have tools inside, such as rakes, saws, shovels, and the like.
Some of them seemed to have a lot of pickled food hanging out, and some had some furs inside. They all seemed to be inventory, something similar to collective assets.
And there is another room that is a bit strange.
There are various long sticks with unknown meanings piled inside, as well as many unique and abstract wood carvings, decorations made of composite materials, and the like.
Looks a bit like a sacrificial item?
Probably, Liu Ji is not sure.
But compared to these warehouses, what attracted his attention the most was the building in the middle of these houses.
This is the only two-story bungalow in the whole village. If nothing else, this is probably the village chief's home.
There should be some useful atmosphere inside.
Moreover, what interested Liu Ji the most was that in this two-story building, Liu Ji felt the fluctuations of the magic elves.
"It seems that there are no people who know magic in this village," Liu Ji murmured, avoiding the guard's sight and walking to the back of the small building.
Then, he transformed into the earth element.
"Hey, Old Iron Gate, give me a moment, I'll come over..." After turning into an element, Liu Ji passed this instruction to the earth element spirit in the stone bricks.
However, unlike the last time in Swamp Whirlpool City, this time, the earth element elves in these stone bricks reacted very slowly. Liu Ji repeatedly "called" them several times before they slowly opened a door. small door.
"It's strange, why the reaction is so slow, it feels like everyone is asleep..." Liu Ji thought to himself, and got into the house through the small door.
As the small door slowly closed, Liu Ji also transformed into the form of the desert incarnation.
On the one hand, the way of perception of the elemental form is too different from that of humans. On the other hand, he has become accustomed to using this posture when entering unknown or dangerous areas. Although he lost a lot of sand before, since he was planted in the remains of the bone dragon, the lost sand has "grown" back.
But as soon as he changed back from the elemental form, Liu Ji frowned.
The dust in the house is so heavy.
Maybe it was caused by the opening and closing of the wall just now. There was a lot of dust floating in the sky, the roof was full of cobwebs, and the dust on the floor was a thick layer.
Although Liu Ji did not really feel any physical discomfort due to dust in this form, as a human, he would always instinctively hate these dust particles.
"Strange, isn't this the village chief's house? There has been no one living here for so long?" Liu Ji frowned and looked around.
The space he is in now seems to be a living room. There is an old set of tables and chairs by the window next to it. There are some simple carvings on them. Although they are not very delicate, they are obviously much higher in quality than those simple spliced furniture in the village outside.
Next to the table and chairs was a broken old bed.
The bed was bare, without sheets or quilts, only a worn-out pillow, and even one foot of the bed had collapsed, and two pieces of the bed board had collapsed.
This was quite strange.
There seemed to be no notable traces around, and I didn't know how the bed had rotted.
Or was it thrown here because it was rotten?
Anyway, this room looked bare, maybe it was an idle room?
"Maybe someone lives in this house, but the room I came in happened to be idle?" Liu Ji thought to himself.
But...
Does it feel a bit coincidental?
Liu Ji walked to the door carefully and looked out along the eroded gap in the wooden door.
Naturally, the outside seemed to be the corridor of the house.
It was not very clear from the gap, but it seemed to be heavily dusted, as if no one had cleaned it for a long time.
"Strange..." Liu Ji muttered, his body turned into quicksand, and flowed to the opposite side along the gap in the door.
He stood up and looked around. It was similar to what he had observed from the other side of the door. There was indeed a thick layer of dust. The sky was also covered with thick spider webs, and the wooden floor also had many signs of decay.
Liu Ji knew that his weight was amazing in this state, so he did not dare to stand on his feet, but let his lower body maintain the state of quicksand, so that at least the pressure on the floor would be smaller.
There were several rooms on both sides of the corridor. Liu Ji checked them one by one when he walked by. Except for a utility room and a bathroom, the rest were ordinary living rooms. The furniture inside was different. Some had more things, bookcases, and some remaining bedding on the bed. Some were similar to the one he came in from, and looked like an idle room.
Liu Ji went into the room with more furniture and took a look. Half of the wardrobe was servant clothes, and the other half was daily women's clothing.
The bed was covered with dust. It was the kind of plain bed that was very common in this world.
Although there is a bookcase, there are no books on it. Instead, there are some small potted plants, but unfortunately they have withered long ago, and there are layers of fine spider webs hanging on the dead branches.
Then the rest are some sundries, such as combs and mirrors, which are nothing special.
Looking at this room, Liu Ji touched his chin and felt a little confused.
Let alone the servants' clothes, those women's clothes are already decent clothes in the whole village. When a servant leaves, it is not too much to take away his own clothes, right?
And those sundries look like personal belongings. There is no reason to leave them all behind?
And this room looks like it has been unused without being cleaned up.
It's quite strange. This house is not on fire or collapsed, and it is located in the center of the village. This room was suddenly unused one day. It's really strange.
"Did something happen here?" Liu Ji felt a little scared.
But after looking at his right hand made of white sand, he was not panicked again.
With sufficient military power, why fear monsters?
Moreover, this house has been idle for so long. No matter what happened in the past, it was all in the past. He had nothing to panic about.
But he was basically sure of one thing now, that this house had been idle for a long time.
He guessed that this was the village chief's house at first, but now he thought that it might not be right.
The current village chief might not know the spell either, because there was a barrier covering the building, and the people in this village probably never came in after the house was abandoned.
After thinking about it, Liu Ji left the room, walked around the corridor, and walked to the lobby on the first floor.
The lobby was not big, but it was the facade of a house after all, and the decoration was luxurious.
There was a crystal magic lamp hanging from the ceiling, but it was covered with dust and no longer as glorious as before.
There were two beautiful vases on both sides of the entrance, but the decorative plants in them had long since turned into dead leaves.
There were chairs and coffee tables for rest on both sides of the lobby, which were also covered with dust, but it could be seen that the workmanship was quite exquisite.
Even in Mir City, Liu Ji had never seen such well-made chairs.
Although he had never been to any high-end places in Mir City.
There was a staircase leading to the second floor on the right side of the front hall. The steps were very complete, but they were also covered with dust and cobwebs.
"Strange, it's all covered in the barrier, where do all these cobwebs come from..." Liu Ji muttered to himself.
Could it be that this barrier only protects against people and not against mosquitoes?
That's too bad. The mobile barrier that Yayin placed on the car can also protect against mosquitoes and bird droppings.
Liu Ji went up the stairs to the second floor.
The situation on the second floor was finally a little different from that on the first floor.
It felt dirty.
There were many black stains on the walls and the ground.
"Some kind of polluted liquid, or..." Liu Ji swallowed a mouthful of saliva that didn't exist and followed the distribution of the black stains.
Having said that, there was only one way on the second floor.
After going upstairs, walking forward along the corridor, you can only see a big door on the left.
If you continue to walk forward, there is nothing except a ventilation window and a potted dead plant.
And under that door, it is full of black stains.
Unlike the shabby wooden doors below, the distribution of elemental spirits can be clearly felt in this door. The whole is tightly fitted, and there is no gap even for sand to pass through.
To be honest, this is the first time Liu Ji has seen such a neat creation in this world. This level of neatness must be comparable to that of a fine workmanship, right?
After hesitating for a moment, Liu Ji still put his hand on the door.
Just as he was about to push open the door, he suddenly heard a voice coming from the end of the passage.
"□□□□□?"
