Chapter 425: The Old Theater

............ "How is it, Tingting, do you still want to go inside?" Liu Dong smiled.

"Let's go!" Although the scared look just now made Miss Jiang feel very embarrassed, and she was really scared in her heart, but she couldn't admit defeat lightly.

"Okay, then let's keep going inside!"

The small square is close to the house at the back, and if you want to continue inside, you have to go through the straight house in the middle of guò. Looking at the dark appearance inside, and after being frightened by the black cat, Jiang Tingting and the others also became a little hesitant. It wasn't until they saw Liu Dong walking in that the three of them followed him and continued to walk inside.

It was dark in the house, and there were some tables and chairs on both sides that had fallen to the ground, but looking at the thick dust on them, it was clear that no one had visited them for a long time.

Along the middle aisle, after passing through the dilapidated houses with a depth of more than ten meters, there is a small square with railings around it, but this one is only fifty or sixty square meters, and some stone benches are placed next to the railing. Outside the small square is the same lotus pond, and it is clear that the front and rear squares, plus the houses, are island buildings surrounded by a large lotus pond.

Crossing the bluestone bridge connecting the small square, it is a building like a shadow wall, but unlike the shadow wall, its upper part has a gatehouse-like eaves, and the wall made of blue bricks has an auspicious pattern of 'carp leaping over the dragon gate', which is extremely well preserved.

On either side of the shadow wall are two verandahs, which are clearly connected to the backyard door.

The backyard and the middle courtyard are connected by circular arches on both sides of the shadow wall. After stepping over the arch, after passing through the woods swaying in the darkness on both sides. The four of them immediately felt a sudden brightness in front of them.

Saw. Bluestone paving. Surrounded by lush trees and the scent of flowers, it is a three-storey brick and wood building that overhangs the top of a hill and is very dilapidated due to its disrepair.

However, the past glory of this large building can be seen from the relief carving of the dragon and phoenix ornaments on the top of the eaves pillars, and the auspicious motifs such as cranes and deer carved on the bricks above the corners of the walls, as well as the cascading upward bucket arches.

Of course, after hundreds of vicissitudes, now it is just a scattered door and window. Leaking wind everywhere, giving cats and dogs a place to live.

"Let's go, go over and have a look!" Liu Dong took the lead and walked towards the tall building that seemed to be lying in the darkness in the distance like a giant beast.

There were no accidents along the way, and Jiang Tingting and their courage also increased, so they didn't say anything about Liu Dong's mention, and walked behind him.

In this deserted and rumored haunted garden, Liu Dong, who is strong in martial arts, has undoubtedly become the backbone of the three.

From the backyard into the middle courtyard and onto this massive three-story building, the distance is almost fifty meters. It wasn't long, but in a few minutes, the four of them came closer.

"Xiaodong. Or let's not go in!" Holding a flashlight, Li Yuncong shone in through the dilapidated doors and windows, and could vaguely see the scattered tables, chairs and benches inside, but the dense cobwebs and dust that had not been cleaned for decades, and the animal hair and feces that had accumulated made Li Yuncong discouraged.

After listening to his words, when Liu Dong turned his head to look at Jiang Tingting and Zhuang Wen, the two girls hesitated, and after looking at each other, they also nodded and agreed with Li Yuncong's construction.

Although, they really want to go in and find out, but the girls love to be clean, and the cobwebs, dust, and animal feces accumulated in it for hundreds of years are all piled up, and there is no place to put their feet, plus walking here, the curiosity in the hearts of the two women has also consumed a lot, plus there is a terrifying atmosphere in the silence around them, which also began to shake their hearts.

"Huh?" Liu Dong, who was originally going to take the opportunity to take the three of them away, suddenly discovered the abnormality. He suddenly turned his head to look at the location of the back door of this huge building, which was more than sixty meters long and nearly fifteen meters high.

"Xiaodong, what's wrong?" Liu Dong's sudden movement made Li Yuncong's heart skip a beat, and his tone of voice trembled a little.

However, this time Liu Dong did not answer his words, but walked to the place where he had discovered something strange just now and stopped.

Seeing Liu Dong squatting on the ground with a flashlight, looking up and down at the entrance door that had collapsed and even half of the wooden door had disappeared, the three of them did not make a sound to disturb.

It wasn't until Liu Dong stood up that Jiang Tingting quietly asked, "Liu Dong, what's wrong?"

"There should be people coming here often!" Liu Dong said with a solemn expression.

"Anyone?" Li Yuncong exclaimed. Far away in the silent night.

"Oh, what the hell is your name, I was scared to death by you!" Zhuang Wen couldn't help but complain.

But at this time, the hairs on Li Yuncong's body were all raised in fright by Liu Dong's words. This Huguang Hall has been abandoned for decades, how can there still be people, and even if there is, it can only be ...... Ghost!

Thinking of this, Li Yuncong looked nervous and took a flashlight to look around, as if there were really ghosts around.

Compared with the panicked Li Yuncong, Jiang Tingting is much more courageous as a girl.

"Liu Dong, you can't be mistaken, right?" As she spoke, her flashlight also began to shine towards the place where Liu Dong had just checked, and soon Jiang Tingting also found something strange from it.

The most obvious thing is that compared to the dusty and dusty situation in other places, this doorway is actually quite clean, which is obviously unreasonable, and cats and dogs will not clean. In addition, the threshold is also smooth, which is the result of someone stepping on it a lot.

When Jiang Tingting took a look inside, she actually found a series of footprints stretching inward, but this footprint should have been left for a long time, and only a shallow circle of traces could still be seen.

"Maybe it was left by people who came here to hunt for curiosities like us!" Zhuang Wen said quietly after noticing the strangeness here.

Of course, this is not impossible, with the development of the country's economy and the gradual opening up of the social atmosphere, the influence of Western culture on young people is increasing, flaunting freedom, emphasizing individuality, liking new things, and so on, which have almost become the common characteristics of young people in the new century.

Moreover, these famous ghost houses in the capital are in various high schools and universities in the capital, and their popularity has long become a well-known topic program with the popularity of "Zhang Zhen Tells Ghost Stories".

Therefore, since Jiang Tingting and their adventure are on this adventure, there will naturally be other people who can't hold back their curiosity and sneak in.

However, for Zhuang Wen's speculation, Liu Dong did not agree too much in his heart, compared to Jiang Tingting, who had the relics of Yuanguang, he observed more carefully, Liu Dong found that these footprints were not left at one time, but repeated many times, and the size of the footprints were also the same, it was obvious that this footprint belonged to the same person, and he had been here many times. Clearly, this is not an explorer.

After all, the haunted mansion is eerie and often rumored to be haunted, even if it is an adventure hunt, then it is enough to see it once, and who has nothing to eat and enough to support will come here often!

At this time, I don't know if Jiang Tingting was curious, so she actually followed the footprints and walked in across the threshold. And Zhuang Wen was worried and followed her.

Seeing this, Liu Dong naturally wanted to follow, but after Li Yuncong opened his mouth, he sighed dejectedly, and reluctantly followed Liu Dong into this abandoned building that was terrifying in his eyes.

After entering the door, a few people found that although it looked dilapidated, the space was vast and not so dirty.

"This should be the place where the opera used to be sung, right?" Li Yuncong couldn't help but ask after looking at the wide high platform not far from him, as well as the tables, chairs and benches under the stage that were still quite neat although they were damaged.

Those who know the Huguang Guild Hall know that the opera garden here was very famous in the old society, and many famous artists have been here.

"Of course, didn't you see some costumes scattered around the backstage when we came in?"

After listening to Zhuang Wen's words, Li Yuncong smiled embarrassedly, he was scared, but he didn't want Zhuang Wen to be curious about everything, so he took this flashlight to shine around.

"Liu Dong, you see there are a lot of footprints on the ground here!" Jiang Tingting said suddenly.

In fact, there is no need for her to say it, Liu Dong also found out.

In this vast space with a high ceiling in the middle of the first floor alone, which covers an area of more than 1,500 square meters, it is densely covered with the same footprints as the door, and there are many leading to the second floor.

Obviously, the people who came here must have ulterior motives.

"Who's coming out!"

At this moment, Liu Dong frowned, suddenly turned around and looked in the direction they had just entered, and shouted in a low voice.

"Xiaodong?" Liu Dong's sudden outburst obviously frightened Li Yuncong and the three of them, and they almost threw out the strong flashlight in their hands.

"Little ...... Xiaodong, good ...... It doesn't seem to be anyone, right?" After a few seconds, Li Yuncong calmed down a little before he said in a trembling voice. There's no way to be in this old house that is full of footprints and has been dilapidated for decades, and the atmosphere is really terrifying. What's more, this is also a haunted mansion famous throughout the capital.

"You guys stand behind me!" Liu Dong said in response to the question.

After noticing the cautious look on Liu Dong's face and staring closely at the darkness at the door, although Jiang Tingting and the three of them didn't use a flashlight to shine anything, they hurriedly hid behind him out of their new appointment to Liu Dong. With frightened and curious eyes, they paid attention to the portal when they came, and they wanted to know what Liu Dong saw.

"Your Excellency, do you want me to ask you to come out?" Liu Dong's vigilant question did not get a response, as if there was anything unexpected here except the rumors.
