Chapter 455 Brings Fear
Ji Huo has a handsome and heroic appearance. Although his talent is not as good as Ji Beiming, it is definitely not bad.
In fact, strictly speaking, Ji Huo's talent is slightly higher than his brother Ji Lu's, which is an indisputable fact, but Ji Lu was born earlier and practiced for a longer time. As a result, although Ji Huo's talent is high, it has always been almost the same as Ji Lu.
Over time, the tiny difference in talent was ignored by the tribe members, and the two brothers were often regarded as geniuses of the same level.
Although Ji Huo was unhappy, he never showed it. It was only because of his pride that got to him. However, the feelings between the two brothers were genuine.
Ji Huo also has another talent, which is the connection between brothers.
The mermaids have practiced the way of dreams, which is mysterious and unpredictable. Ji Huo and Ji Lu are two brothers who occasionally have a telepathic connection with each other. This "connection" can also be regarded as a kind of dream.
He just vaguely sensed that his brother Ji Lu might have returned.
"Dong dong dong."
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
The candlelight flickered slightly, and the room suddenly darkened. Ji Huo and Ji Nan looked at each other.
Ji Nan glanced at the sky outside the window. He didn't know when, but the pedestrians on the street had already returned home. There was a cool breeze, and even the bustling city would always be quiet after a while.
Ji Nan suddenly felt something strange in her heart. When things were lively, she disliked the noise of humans, but now that it was quiet, she felt inexplicably creepy.
The two looked at each other for a few seconds.
There was another knock on the door. It was the sound of fingers tapping lightly on the wooden board. The crisp sound was particularly harsh in the dark night.
Ji Huo came to the door, put on a black robe, and slowly pushed the door open. Seeing no one, he frowned and looked to the right.
In front of the door of the house at the far right, stood a thin man. With a creak, the door slowly opened, and a man with a stubble on his face poked his head out from the door.
"Why did you come just now?" He complained when he saw the person knocking on the door, then pulled the person into the house.
"It's because of some things that delayed it."
The man explained with a smile and closed the door.
Ji Huo narrowed his eyes. Wasn't the door he just knocked on his own?
Really? Really? … He pinched his chin, unsure for a moment, and just for a moment, he felt that Ji Lu was back.
It might be Ji Lu knocking on the door.
But when I opened the door, there was nothing.
After staying at the door for a few seconds, he closed the door again, returned to the room, hung the black robe on the wooden rack, and said to Ji Nan: "Next time someone knocks on the door, it's your turn to open it."
The repeated knocking on the door made him a little irritated.
"Let me knock on the door? Aren't you afraid that I will break his neck?" Ji Nan said casually, playing with the hair beside his ear with his fingers.
"If anything goes wrong, I will tell Brother Bei Ming." Ji Huo didn't buy it and lay down on the bed.
He looked at the reddish flames, his brows unconsciously knitted together. There was an indescribable weirdness.
Did the knock on the door just now really come from another room?
But I shouldn't have heard this wrong, right?
What made Ji Huo even more strange was that the more he thought about it, the more vague it seemed. It seemed to be true but not true, and he felt inexplicably anxious.
The night is getting darker.
An hour later.
There was no more knocking on the door. This guest room was very large, with two beds, and was usually provided for wandering merchants to stay in.
If you don't have some financial resources, you really can't afford this kind of customer service.
Ji Huo slept on the left side of the bed and Ji Nan slept on the right side of the bed.
The mermaids are full of energy and do not need to rest when on the sea. However, once they enter the mainland, in order to stay in good condition at all times, they ensure at least three hours of sleep every day.
Moreover, now that their spiritual energy was depleted, it was difficult for them to absorb the spiritual energy in the air through their skin and replenish it all the time. They could only sleep, close their pores, and then move the blood and qi in their bodies to circulate, slowly recovering their physical strength and spirit.
After Ji Huo fell asleep, Ji Nan also took off his shoes and socks and fell asleep on the bed. The guest room became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
"Dong dong dong."
At this time.
There was another knock on the door, just as clear and abrupt as before.
Ji Huo and Ji Nan opened their eyes instantly.
Ji Huo felt that his brother had returned again. He looked at Ji Nan and pointed at the door with his finger.
Although Ji Nan was unhappy, he put on his shoes and socks, put on a black robe to cover his face, and went to open the door.
She was harboring resentment in her heart, and she was worried that someone like a waiter or a shopkeeper would harass her all the time.
Then she would take off the other person's head even if it meant some trouble and risk.
As she was thinking about this, she slowly opened the door. The breeze blowing in her face made her feel a little more alert. She looked around but didn't see anyone.
Ji Nan narrowed his eyes and was about to walk out of the room, but he felt he kicked something.
It was round and rolled several times when it was lifted, rolling on the wooden floor, making a gurgling sound.
She looked down in the direction of the voice and frowned. It turned out to be a head, with the face covered by long black hair.
She leaned over to check and gently pushed aside the black hair. The next second, her pupils suddenly shrank and her face turned pale in an instant.
He immediately raised his head, his body unconsciously tensed, and looked around, but could not see any human figure.
She quickly grabbed the head, returned to the room, and closed the door. Because she closed it with a little too much force, it made a loud noise. Ji Huo saw that her face looked different, so he asked, "What's wrong?"
"Your brother..." Ji Nan's eyes were filled with fear and confusion. After he opened his mouth, he hesitated and said, "Your brother..."
"What's wrong?" Ji Huo asked again, got off the bed, put on his shoes and socks and walked towards Ji Nan.
"I just found your brother's head outside the door." Ji Nan said in one breath.
Ji Huo thought he had heard it wrongly, "What did you say?"
It was not until Ji Nan repeated it and then placed Ji Lu's head flat on the table that Ji Nan realized the seriousness of the matter.
He grabbed the head and quickly used both hands to push away the hair that was covering the face.
Who else could that handsome and feminine face be but Ji Lu?
"how come?"
Ji Huo took a few steps back, shaking his head slightly, unable to believe that this was true.
What terrified him even more was his brother's expression before he died!
The pupils were dilated, bloodshot, the mouth was wide open, and the nostrils were dilated to the maximum.
A hideous and miserable appearance.
Before his brother died, he must have suffered a great emotional shock, which is why he behaved like this.
Than sad.
The deeper, more intuitive and stronger feeling in the hearts of these two cold-hearted mermaids at this moment is fear.
Fear of the unknown.
From the fear of death.
This fear overwhelmed everything. Ji Huo didn't even have time to indulge in the sorrow of his death for half a second before he was dragged into the bottomless abyss by the fear.
The two looked at each other, both breaking out in cold sweats. Too many doubts and too many assumptions came to their minds all at once.
The more I thought about it, the more horrified I became.
And just then.
"Dong dong dong."
The knocks on the door sounded again, and the intervals between each knock were regular.
It was as if it struck the two people's hearts. The two mermaids, who were always arrogant and looked down upon humans, now had goose bumps all over their skin.
They were sweating coldly and subconsciously took a half step closer to each other.
Without waiting for them to open the door, the door opened by itself.
But there was still no one knocking on the door.
That person is like a ghost, someone who both exists and does not exist.
But he was spotted.
Until the dead.
There is always someone who can bring fear to those who are so proud.
