Chapter 24: clue

"I never saw you," the little boy continued.
Having been held here for so long, Wu Chen was the first time to meet someone other than a housekeeper. He watched the huge light pouring out from behind the boy because the iron door opened, restrained his eager look, and repeated his question again: "Who are you? Why are you here?"
The little boy's voice sounded tender and echoed in the small room.
"" Shannon didn't know how to answer.
In fact, when he opened the door and saw the little boy with dark hair and blue eyes, he froze.
Although I saw him in a family portrait, I didn't know that Ronaldinho was Chen Chen at that time, and now I came to see him again, and I felt a novel feeling in my heart: Is this Chen Chen as a child?
He looked much thinner than in the photo. His round face was cleared by half, his sharp chin was exposed, his skin was white, and his eyes were blue like lake water. He was sitting on a cot in the corner, with a face that didn't fit his age.
He was looking at Wu Chen, who was also watching the boy who suddenly appeared at the door of the room.
Like a little deer, Wu Chen thought so in his heart.
The young man had fluffy and soft black hair, round black eyes, and the wet eyes came over, which contained many soft and warm emotions. The young man laughed, and Pu Chen heard him say with a soft but firm voice:
"I'm here to take you away."
Now that he had found the juvenile version of Chen Chen, he would not just watch him locked up here.
Although this room was not as dangerous as it was later, it was also dark and humid. Except for a heavy iron door, there was only a small high window like an iron fence, just like a prison cell.
In such a room, even the light is difficult to penetrate through the obstacles. If he hadn't exchanged his vision, he wouldn't be able to see Yun Chen's position based on dynamic vision alone.
How could a boy five or six years old be kept in such a bad environment?
After hearing what he said, the little boy stared at him for a moment with a strange look, and raised his hand at him: "Can't you see? I can't go out."
Two long iron chains connected the shackles, making a crisp impact on his weak wrist.
"This is too much, isn't it?" Shano couldn't restrain his anger.
A small boy, five or six years old, was locked up in a dark attic, and he was shackled like a prisoner. That manor owner must be personal scum?
Not to mention that he was abusing his own grandson, even if he was treating a stranger, wouldn't he be so vicious?
Suddenly he regretted that he wouldn't say bad words, otherwise he wouldn't be able to utter a word.
Xiao Yanchen looked at the boy with a sullen expression, bullied with thin chest, and cheeky, making people want to poke.
His fingers on the bed sheet trembled a few times, still restraining the urge.
"Don't be angry." He in turn reassured Shannon, the little man generally said, "It's not worth being angry for that kind of person."
Yes, now is not the time to be angry.
Xia Nuo tried to calm himself. He went to Xiao Chenchen and knelt down on one knee.
Xiao Chenchen looked at his movement in puzzlement and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Shano showed a soothing smile. He put his hand on the shackles and said softly, "Come, I'll show you a magic."
magic? Xiao Yanchen pouted his lips and wanted to say that he was not the kind of childish child who would believe in magic.
However, he looked at the serious expression in front of the young man, but in the end he said nothing, and turned his eyes to the shackles of his hands according to the young man's words.
And then, miraculously, in the burning eyes of both eyes, the shackles shattered and fell to the ground, making a crisp sound of "click".
"Wow--" Xiao Yanchen exclaimed, without even realizing it, "how did you do that?"
He couldn't help but hold Shano's palm to look back and forth, trying to find a secret from which he could open the shackles with his bare hands. But after looking at it for a long time, I didn't find anything special.
The young man's fingers were white and slender, but his fingers were round and round. He had a soft and soft fingertips. Xiao Yanchen did reach out with a serious attitude at first, but he didn't want to let go.
Unlike Xia Nuo's palm, the palm of the little boy is fleshy and the skin is extremely soft. Maybe it was because he was afraid of hurting him. Xiao Chenchen's movements were extremely gentle. Xia Nuo was naturally ticklish. He couldn't help laughing, "Did you say that? This is magic."
In fact, he also found it when he opened the lofts. In this time and space, everything is looking for clues for him. He has almost the ability to do what he wants.
When he didn't want to be found, the waiter in the banquet hall turned a blind eye to him. When he wants to get information, his existence becomes detectable. Even when facing the iron lock on the door, the result was just as he wished.
It was because of this that he determined that he would be able to open the shackles on Xiao Yanchen's hand, and it turned out that he did guess correctly.
Xiao Yanchen's eyes changed instantly, his eyes shone: "Are you a fairy?"
As soon as the words came out, he reacted and changed his words: "No, I should call you a little fairy boy?"
Little, immortal? Shannon froze. This title is too
He was so shocked that he forgot to oppose this term.
As if Xiaochen didn't notice his abnormality, his beautiful blue eyes stared at Shanuo without blinking, and confessed: "I was wrong, I shouldn't say I don't believe in magic."
He was also a child living in a happy family before being caught in the manor and separated from his family. Dad also tells him fairy tales every night to coax him to sleep.
When he was younger, he still believed that there were little fairies in the world who could use magic, and even imagined that one day he could learn magic and become a savior.
When he grew up and read many books, he was doubtful about the existence of the little fairy. After he was locked up in the dark attic, no matter how he prayed and prayed, no little fairy appeared. After saving him like saving Cinderella, he would no longer believe these illusory things.
To this day, the boy appears in front of him like a hero in many fairy tales, not only brings light, but also removes the shackles on his hand, saying that he will be taken away--
I was wrong, he sighed with sincerity.
Xiao Chenchen lowered his head, and wanted to imprint the face of the teenager in his head, usually staring at him deeply.
Xia Nuo feels that the atmosphere is a bit weird now. Xiao Yanchen's sight of betting is too hot, right?
He suddenly regretted that he was joking and said that he would be magical. The child did not know how to distinguish between true and false and would not really take his joke seriously? And imagine that the adult version of Chen Chen called him "Little Fairy" is a shameful play!
Thinking of this, his round eyes widened in horror. No, you have to find a way to clarify it. He doesn't want to hear this title attached to his head anymore.
At this time, the manor's bell struck ten times "Dangdang Dang," Shanuo returned to his heart, pretending to say nothing: "Let's leave here first."
As for the title of that little fairy man, let ’s take it as if nothing happened, okay?
Xiao Chenchen also heard the bell ringing, and he nodded obediently: "Okay."
According to past experience, the housekeeper will come here in fifteen minutes, send him food as usual, and ask him by the way: "Did you know anything wrong today? If you are willing to apologize to the master, you can come from here come out."
He didn't do anything wrong, so he wouldn't apologize to the overbearing old man. Besides, there are teenagers beside him now, he will definitely protect him!
Xia Nuo did not know Xiao Yanchen's blind trust in him. He bent down and wanted to hug the little boy sitting on the bed.
Xiao Chenchen realized his intention and opened his arms obediently—because after he was three years old, he never let anyone hold him again. However, this little brother is different.
When Xiao Yanchen crouched on the bed, it seemed only a small ball, without any weight. As a result, Xia Nuo received the wrong signal and always felt confident that he could easily lift him.
It turns out that he thinks too much.
The reality is always more cruel than imagined. He underestimated Xiao Yanchen's weight and overestimated his arm strength. After three attempts, he finally gave up.
"Yes, I'm sorry." Xia Nuo bowed his head, daring to imagine what Xiao Yanchen would look like now.
This is too shameful, right? Shannuo couldn't believe his pinching arms, and didn't believe his strength would be so small.
He became a gangster, and felt that after that incident, Xiao Chenchen's impression of him would even change from "Little Fairy Man" to "Little Fairy Man without a Chicken".
Xiao Chenchen didn't mind it. He took his own hand and said empathetically, "It doesn't matter, it's not your fault, it's because I'm too heavy."
Are you a little angel? Shanuo blinked and moved his face.
He didn't expect Xiao Chenchen to be so considerate and sensible. In order not to embarrass him, he took the responsibility on himself.
In fact, in retrospect, the adult version of Chen Chen is also very considerate, but sometimes he deliberately teases him intentionally.
Thinking of the adult version of Chen Chen, he couldn't help lowering his head and thinking about a problem: In this time and space, Chen Chen was only five or six years old. At first, he clearly showed strangeness to him, indicating that he was not Da Chenchen's memory, so where is the real Chen Chen now?
Xia Nuo was thinking about this problem, and he pulled Xiao Yanchen out of the attic. The wall lamp on the wall exuded a faint light, and he heard the child sigh: "It's good, I haven't seen the light for a long time, and I haven't talked to anyone for a long time."
In that small space, darkness and loneliness infested his heart all the time, roaring for him to yield, and for him to sink into the boundless darkness--
Shanuo sympathized with the boy's words and couldn't help but lightly touch his head.
He stopped using vision for a long time, because when destroying the shackles of Xiao Yanchen's hand, he suddenly thought: Since this time and space has given him so many privileges, can he also restore his vision temporarily?
The result is amazing. Now he doesn't need to spend high points to exchange sight, he can see everything in front of him.
Xiao Chenchen's hair felt soft and felt really good. Xia Nuo suddenly understood why Da Chenchen always liked to touch his head.
The little boy felt the gentle strength above his head and suddenly laughed: "But fortunately you are here! Thank you for saving me with magic, Xiaoxian"
Hearing the latter sentence, Shannon immediately had a bad feeling, and he quickly stopped: "Actually, I was joking. Actually, it wasn't magic, I was hiding the key in my palm."
The teenager's voice was a little eager, and it sounded a little embarrassed: "Don't call me Xiaoxian, I really won't be magic."
The name he said was really inexplicable, and he could only pass by vaguely.
That reason was very lame at first sight, not to mention Xiao Yanchen, but Zai carefully checked the palm of his hand and found no key.
But juveniles say this, maybe they don't want to reveal their identity?
In this case, he will not mention it again, let this matter become a special secret between the two of them.
Thinking about it this way, he even had a little secret joy in his heart: Because of such a secret existence, his relationship with the teenager has been drawn closer!
"Then I can call your brother?" Unexpectedly, Xia Chen didn't get involved in this issue. After seeing Nod, he asked, "What's your brother's name? My name is Oh Chen, Chen means treasure. "
"" Xia Nuo hesitated for a while, then said, "My name is Xia Nuo. In summer Xia Nuo, Nuo Nuo Nuo Nuo."
It seemed as if time was running backwards, when he stood in front of the man and said the same word by word.
"Xia Nuo" Xiao Yanchen repeated the name softly, showing a bright smile, "I remember! I will call you Nuo Nuo brother later, OK?"
After he said this, Shannon felt an unfamiliar coolness climbing up his back, and he couldn't help shivering.
Sure enough, it wasn't his illusion for the first time.
This time, he clearly felt deep in his soul that he had established a connection with a powerful existence in the void.
The systematic warning sounded, but he chose to tell his real name.
He doesn't regret it, even if he hasn't understood what kind of affection he has for Chen Chen.
He didn't give a response. Xiao Chenchen assumed it as his acquiescence. Immediately "Brother Nono" was long, "Brother Nono" cried shortly: "Brother Nono, where are we going now?"
Shanuo Shanuo didn't know.
Although he found Yun Chen, the game system did not prompt him to find a special clue. He didn't know what to do next.
He asked Xiao Chenchen: "Do you have a place to go? By the way, do you want to go to your mother?"
Shano suddenly remembered the note in the family's blessing. That bedroom should be the place where Lu Sha was in prison?
"Mom" Xiao Yanchen's tone became low, he asked carefully, "Mom, is she alive?"
"Relax, she is still alive." Shano felt the palm of her hand clenched uneasily, and quickly comforted, "She was locked in the manor's main house, shall we help her?"
"" I don't know why, Xiao Yanchen was silent for a long time, and finally said, "OK"
Thinking of his mother, he couldn't calm down.
He couldn't forget the quarrel between his parents before he was caught.
For the first time, Dad yelled at his mother, "Why do you secretly contact your father? Do you think he will let us go?"
The mother did not dispute this, but just covered her face and whispered in tears.
He could understand that the reason they were caught was because his mother had leaked their whereabouts.
When he thought of it, he didn't know how to face his mother.

Xia Nuo did not know why Xiao Chenchen would become silent. They left the noisy banquet hall, passed through the statue fountain, and have now reached the huge embroidered garden.
He thought about it and stopped when he passed a cluster of stars.
The scent of the starry scent diffused in the air, Shanuo put a starry star into Xiao Yanchen's arms and asked softly, "Can you tell me why you are not happy?"
Under the dark night sky, the stars in the sky shone with their unique light, and the moonlight like water poured down, illuminating the gentle eyebrows of the teenager.
Xiao Chenchen kicked the small stone next to him, watching it crumpled away: "I don't know if I should forgive my mother."
He told what Sha Sha had done, and then said, "If it weren't for my mother, our family of three could still live happily together, and it wouldn't be like I do not know where my father is now.
After speaking, he seemed to think of something, and asked, "Brother Nono, do you know where Dad is now?"
"Sorry, I don't know." Shano shook his head, but in fact, he already had a bad guess in his heart.
People only know that the owner of the manor captured the eloped young lady and the children she gave birth to, but never mentioned the object of the eloped young lady, as if this person did not exist.
Their indifferent attitude reminded him of the books he had read about how medieval feudal parents treated the elopement of the aristocratic lady and her lover: the aristocratic lady would be arrested for a lifetime, and her lover would be executed in secret, not let anyone There is another excuse to preach this shameful experience.
What's more, according to Luan Sha's description, the manor of the manor is Rol's father-killing foe, would he easily let Rol's hidden danger be a problem?
He did not dare to tell Xiao Yanchen these speculations, he was too young to bear the departure of his loved ones. And if he guessed wrong, wouldn't it make Xiao Yanchen sad?
Shano secretly decided to go to the racecourse alone after finding Misha, there might be clues about Mr. Rohr's whereabouts. If Mr. Roll is still alive, it will be a joy, and if Mr. Roll fails, he will keep this secret for a while.
After walking through the embroidery garden, the main house of the manor quickly appeared in front of them. Strangely, there was no light in the main hall, and the manor was not in the main house.
Is he out of business? Shanuo guessed this way, that's fine, otherwise, if he meets him, Shanuo won't be able to control himself and not blame him.
Xia Nuo remembered that Lu Sha's bedroom was in Xidong. He took Xiao Chen to the bedroom door and rang the door.
"Is Miss Lusha here?" He asked a few times without answer.
He couldn't help pushing in, but didn't see Misha in the room, but found an unexpected existence.
A young boy with a thin back is facing his back, sitting at the desk without knowing what to write.
"Brother Nono, this person looks like me."
Xiao Yanchen said softly, breaking the stagnant atmosphere.
This sentence was also what Shannon wanted to say, because he saw the appearance of the boy at the desk and fell into silence.
――Isn't this a juvenile version of Chen Chen? !!
This eyebrow is almost exactly like the boy next to him, alive a little version of Xiao Chenchen!
How is this going?
He opened the game panel and saw an extremely familiar system prompt:
The time and space of the player was detected as July 15, 1995. There are special clues in this time, please players to explore on their own.
Shannon: ""
Is he once again through time and space? He glanced at him and held his hand, a little boy with a blank face-and this time he even brought Xiao Yanchen?
He remembered the statement that "the same two people cannot exist in one space and time", whether it was in movies or books, and couldn't help but clenched Xiao Yanchen's hand and asked, "Is it all right? Do you feel uncomfortable? ? "
Seeing the expression of caring in the anxiety of the young man, Xiao Chenchen warmed up, and his own rejection of seeing such a "Large" almost the same as him also eased a lot: "Who am I all right? Why? He looks like me? "
Is he my brother? Xiao Yanchen thought so, but quickly overturned his guess.
"If I'm not mistaken, he should be you ten years later." Shanuo said complexly.
"Ah-?" Xiao Yanchen's eyes widened and he exclaimed.
Xiao Chenchen glanced at the juvenile Chen Chen and forced himself to close his mouth.
Brother Nono is magical, and it's not surprising to see him meet him ten years later, right?
He didn't realize how significant it was to travel through time and space. Instead, he regarded it as a fun game, and at this time was trying to explore this space and time with interest.
As long as Brother Nono is by his side, he is not afraid of anything!
At this time Juchen Chen stood up, holding a diary-like book in his hand, and walked out of Luansha's bedroom. As he passed the two people at the door, he felt nothing, and seemed to penetrate naturally. Wang air passed through them like that.
Shanuo's eyes widened and he was surprised to see that the figure of the boy who was still holding his hand gradually faded, and finally disappeared into the air.
"There cannot be two identical people in one space-time." This conclusion has taken effect.
Xia Nuo stood still for a moment, watching the young man Chen Chen go further and further, still catching up.
In any case, the special clue must be in Chen Chen, and what must happen at this point in time, the game system will send him here. So only by following him can he find that particular clue.
So Xia Nuo followed Fu Chen all the way, watching him walk in the manor house.
At this point the old manor had died, and Chen Chen, his grandson, the sole heir, reasonably and legally inherited the manor and became the new owner.
Many changes have taken place with the new owner of the manor. The most obvious point is that the number of servants in the manor has decreased.
When the old manor was living in the past, no matter when and where he could see the servants wearing uniforms walking in the manor, but now he has gone all the way. He only saw the housekeeper who was following the old manor and one In the apron, the cook is called "Mom Ho".
The steward usually showed respect to Wu Chen. Except for reporting the estate affairs, he would never say a word to Wu Chen. Other servants would always subconsciously avoid Yun Chen's sight, as if he was a monster. In a large estate, only "Mother He" would say a few words of concern to the teenager.
Xia Nuo looked at the thin, straight back of the teenager Chen Chen walking in front of him, and suddenly felt a little distressed.
But there was always a thin film between him and juvenile Chen Chen. Although he hadn't tried it, Xia Nuo had a premonition--even if he went up to talk with Juchen Chen Chen, he wouldn't find it. Own existence.
Even if he wants to show concern for the young man Chen Chen, the greatest possibility is to be ignored.
Thinking of this, Shanuo couldn't help sighing. If he had ears on his head, he must have been pulled down now.
The time flow rate on the two sides is not the same, and Shannon will not feel hungry and sleepy, and has a lot of time to observe the young Chen Chen.
The young man Chen Chen lives a step-by-step life, takes care of the estate affairs, keeps a diary, eats and sleeps, and lives extremely monotonously.
Time passed quickly, just as Shano was almost skeptical that his guess was wrong, and an important twist took place.
A girl with long hair and a mask came to the manor.
Although the mask covered most of her face, Shano recognized her identity through the familiar eyebrows she showed—the one who was inexplicably hostile to him.
What is she doing here?
Xia Nuo was puzzled, and saw He Lina walked into the kitchen familiarly, walked towards "Mom He", and called "Mom".
It turned out that she was the daughter of Mother He, the girl born with rabbit lip defects.
He looked at the mask on the girl's face all the time. Didn't she have corrective surgery?
He clearly remembered that later He Lina's lips were extremely beautiful, and she could not see any defects.
By the time he returned, He Lina had left the kitchen and ran into head-on Chen Chen who had just finished her business and returned to the manor.
""
The two did not speak, as if a stranger was passing by, but Shanuo clearly saw that after Lin Chen went away, He Lina revealed a very vicious and resentful look behind him.
"!!!!!!"
Shan Nuo suddenly had an unpredictable premonition. In fact, from the first glance at seeing He Lina, this premonition had been continuously alarming.
He would never forget how He Lina smiled strangely, and said lightly that she wanted to kill evil spirits. Now that I think about it, she probably said that only for Pu Chen.
So what now?
Naturally, he didn't want to watch Wu Chen hurt by He Lina. In this case, he must find a way to remind him!
Xia Nuo tried various methods: either writing a note of "Be careful about He Lina" in front of Chen Chen, or speaking a reminder directly to Chen Chen-none of these methods worked.
What made him a little relieved was that He Lina rarely came to the manor. She had only been here once a month, and she hurried away without any interaction with Wu Chen.
Unfortunately, it was too early for him to rest assured.
About ten more days later, one evening, Su Chen suddenly received a snow-white envelope containing a note that said: If you want to know the whereabouts of Mr. Roll, come to the lake half an hour later.
Shano also saw this note and almost wanted to stop it loudly: this is a trap, don't go!
Su Chen suddenly tightened the note and stood up.
Xia Nuo knew that the letter completely captured Chen Chen's weakness. He always wanted to know the whereabouts of his father, and now he got clues. Even if he knew that this might be a trap, he would definitely go to an appointment.
A deep sense of powerlessness drowned him, and he lowered his eyes, thinking in dismay, if the accident could not be prevented, what was the significance of his coming to this time and space? Could he only be a dispensable bystander?
Even if he didn't want to, everything went on its original trajectory. He watched Wu Chen come to the lake, and the long-planned He Lina attacked his head with a stone, was pushed down the lake in a coma, and drowned.
Looking at Mrs. He, who usually showed so much concern for Chen Chen, she clearly witnessed everything in the nearby woods. Not only did she not stand up to stop her daughter's evil deeds, but after He Linna left, she salvaged Chen Chen's body. He left the manor in the glass cage used by the old manor to raise crows.
Watching the missing body of Yun Chen found in the cage the next day, but did not know why he chose the silent housekeeper, and allowed the crow to peck off the flesh and blood of Ying Chen, and finally the remaining bones were burned by a fire
After seeing all this, Shanuo stood outside the glass cage in despair, with unspeakable sadness in his heart.
Until the fire broke out in the manor, the steward was involved. The steward mourned in the sea of ​​fire. The flame did not burn him to ashes, but wrapped his whole body, turning him into a "fire man." ".
The crow in the glass cage didn't know when it flew out, hovering in the sky, making a harsh noise in the billowing smoke. Their eyes were stained scarlet with ink, and their size became several times larger, and then the crows gathered together to form the image of a teenager.
The evil spirit Wu Chen was born.
Everything became clear.
After Chen Chen died, he became an evil spirit, still exercising the manor's duties and guarding the entire manor.
The phrase "I'm sorry for the child" in Mom's recipe refers to Chen Chen.
The "Fire Man" that appeared at the beginning of the Black Raven Manor was the housekeeper who was devoured by the flames.
"Congratulations to the player for a special clue-the death of the manor."
"Congratulations to the player for completing the first part of the special mission-to unravel the mystery, and ask the player to make persistent efforts to liberate the evil spirits in the manor."
There was a long black corridor in front of Shanuo's eyes. At the end of the corridor, Zhang Man and Yun Chen heard the sound and turned around.
Then he saw a boy with red eyes and ran over, like a bullied animal seeking comfort, and rushed into it—Zhen Chen's arms.
Zhang Man: At this moment, I am so redundant.
But seeing this scene, he suddenly didn't worry about the little newcomer being hurt.
Because he stood by the side and witnessed the dark face just now, the moment when a man with a somber breath flung into his arms, the whole body atmosphere became softened instantly.
Bailian tempered into soft fingers, but this is the case.
Wu Chen gently patted the back of the young man in his arms, Wen Wen comforted: "What's wrong? Why are you crying? Who bullied you?"
There was a stance that Shannon would retaliate when he said his name.
He asked a few questions one after another, but Shanuo shook his head again and again, revealing a pair of red rabbit eyes: "No one bullied me, really"
Zhang Man stood aside, feeling that he should say something. He just opened his mouth, as if he had seen something extremely surprising, and the swearing could not help but burst out.
"I wipe, Chang'an, is this your child?" He pointed to the position where Shano was standing. There was no one there just now, but now he stood with a child with dark hair and blue eyes, looking upright they.
The author has something to say: He Shen: Good boy, did you drop the child Chen Chen, the young Chen Chen, or the young Chen Chen?
Cheyenne:
Thank you for your support, and donate the soft belly of Nono for you to touch
I will get a red envelope tomorrow morning, good night now 3
It will be updated at this time tomorrow, and it will be changed to 8 o'clock the day after tomorrow.
