Volume 2 Return Chapter 16 Re-entry to the Examination Room (5)
According to the previous analysis, we can know that this coffin must have been prepared for someone else, and this person, the relationship with the owner must be unusual, and there are now three known characters, friends, the owner's sister or wife or a combination of the two.
Then exclude the homeowners themselves.
In other words, this coffin is intended for a friend or his sister.
Although it may be someone else's, but I don't know it yet, then don't consider this possibility for now, then my sister and friends are left.
Combined with the previous voice, it is basically possible to determine who the person inside the coffin is.
I remember that one of the books I was reading on the floor had a gift, 'For my student Roderick Usher'.
Let's take a bold guess that if the person who lived here was Roderick Usher's, it would be either Mrs. Usher or Miss Usher who was buried here.
Think again, why would you want to bury it in a dungeon in a cellar.
Even when he died, he was unwilling to let it out of his control.
That's probably why Mr. Usher buried him in the dungeon.
Then the identity of the woman who appeared in the letter can be determined, that is, Miss Usher, who had a forbidden love affair with Mr. Usher, this woman is both Mrs. Usher and Miss Usher.
You only love to the point of perversion, you will do this, don't you?
"So this Mr. Usher is not only a psychopath, but also a pervert?" Zhang Baiyuan muttered to himself.
Suddenly, he felt a wave of dizziness, and then he found that Zhang Baiyuan No. 2 had lost contact.
"Killed?!" Zhang Baiyuan was shocked for a while, and hurriedly checked everything that No. 2 saw last.
Zhang Baiyuan No. 2 was diligently smashing on the doors and windows, as if there were treasures in every door and window, suddenly he seemed to hear something, and looked back, it was a middle-aged man, he was wearing a black classical suit, his skin was pale, his eye sockets were deep, his facial features were distinct, the heavenly court was wide, and his jaw was square, which was unforgettable at a glance.
After that, something even more memorable happened, the man let out a roar and rushed directly towards Zhang Baiyuan No. 2, Zhang Baiyuan No. 2's nerves became a good thing at this time, if No. 4 was there, he would have been scared to pee on the spot.
Zhang Baiyuan No. 4: I won't!
Zhang Baiyuan No. 2 was not slow to react, and casually grabbed a table next to him and turned over, but the man actually passed directly through the table, and his sharp claws were directly inserted into No. 2's eyes, and No. 2 screamed, turning into a cloud of white mist and disappearing into the air.
Physical attacks are ineffective?
Zhang Baiyuan frowned slightly, why did he attack now, could it be that he had cracked the secret of this ancient mansion?
Zhang Baiyuan: No. 3, pay attention to safety, No. 2 is already cold, and using physical attacks on the target is ineffective.
Zhang Baiyuan No. 3: Received.
Zhang Baiyuan shifted his gaze to this coffin again, since the attack had begun, he had to speed up his decryption.
Zhang Baiyuan took a deep breath and made an amazing decision to open the museum.
"Wait!" said Four.
Zhang Baiyuan was frightened by the sound of No. 4, and turned around and shouted, "You are sick, you are shocked." ”
It always feels like I'm scolding myself.....
"Shouldn't you light four candles before the museum opens?" No. 4 winked at Zhang Baiyuan.
Zhang Baiyuan: ........
I have enough elements in this novel, the urban fantasy system is funny, and you still let me add the element of tomb robbery? I want to open a new genre of fiction?
"You give me a little stop, even if this is a tomb robbery, it is also a tomb in the West, can it be the same as our tomb in the East?" Zhang Baiyuan glared at No. 4 viciously.
"So, garlic, do you need a cross?" asked Number Four tentatively.
Zhang Baiyuan ignored this living treasure, looked at the coffin in front of him, and his hands suddenly changed color.
【Fortress of Life】
Since physical attacks are useless, now attach a layer of energy to your hands.
The coffin lid was wooden, and Zhang Baiyuan pushed the coffin lid open without much effort, and to Zhang Baiyuan's surprise, the coffin was empty and there was no body.
He waved his hand to disperse the dust raised, since there was no corpse, then there was no need to be afraid for the time being, casually and carefully observed the inside of the coffin, and soon Zhang Baiyuan found that on a wooden board at the end of the head, there was a line of small characters engraved, which looked like a little bit of a trace picked out with a fingernail.
There is a sentence on it, "he knows", there is no punctuation, and the words are crooked.
Put yourself in their shoes...... There was no light in the coffin, and Miss Usher couldn't see if the letters she had written were neat, and she had to hold a certain position to carve them on the top of her head, so it was good to be recognizable.
That is, Miss Usher did not die, but was buried alive.
Zhang Baiyuan's pupils shrank, it seems that there are a lot of stories here, so the second one I saw before is probably that friend or one of Mr. Usher, but what does the 'he' here represent, and why is Miss Usher sealed alive in the coffin.
What did he know?
Zhang Baiyuan nodded thoughtfully, he had already made an inference about the story of this mansion, but now the question is how to get out of this cellar?
He looked up again and took a closer look at his surroundings, but found nothing.
He turned his gaze back to the coffin, and there were no more valuable clues other than the lines of writing and a few scratches left on the wood.
Zhang Baiyuan simply bent down and picked up the heavy coffin board from the ground, and looked at both the front and back, but there was nothing on this big log.
"Wait......" Zhang Baiyuan's movements suddenly stopped, and said in his heart: "The person lying in the coffin should be lying on his back, and the words should be engraved on the coffin board, even if she was worried that someone would ignore the lettering on the coffin lid when she opened the coffin, so she engraved it on the top of her head, but why is there no trace of struggle on this board...... The scratches and kicks were somewhere else, and the lid was as good as new. ”
Zhang Baiyuan squatted down and stared at the lid of the coffin.
"Hmmm......"
He reached out and knocked again, and the lid of the coffin made a normal sound of solid wood, and it didn't sound like it was hidden in the mezzanine.
"Why don't you lie down in and try it?" said Four, who was beside him.
Zhang Baiyuan had a flash of inspiration, turned around, and looked at No. 4 with a smile.
"Woc, don't you come here!!"
The cellar echoed with Four's screams and pleadings.
"Is it comfortable in there?"
"Uncomfortable. ”
"Is it because you're afraid, or is it because you're depressed? Or because you're afraid of the dark?"
"Because it's entirely wooden, there's no mat underneath. ”
Zhang Baiyuan stood outside and was quite speechless, and he was quite comfortable staying inside with this talk?
That's right, he locked Zhang Baiyuan No. 4 in this coffin.
As for why he put Number Four in it, of course it's because he's too annoying... Of course, because since there is no one in this coffin, the corpse must have escaped, and as for how to escape, let No. 4 give it a try?
Zhang Baiyuan No. 4: You said I was annoying....
"What nonsense, let's see if you can get out. Zhang Baiyuan ruthlessly interrupted No. 4's accusation.
"Cut, this little broken coffin, I didn't just want to get out. As he spoke, he tried to push the lid with his hand.
Unexpectedly, it couldn't be pushed.
"Are you sitting on top of the coffin lid?" questioned Four.
"Can you cure hemorrhoids on the lid of a coffin?" Zhang Baiyuan asked rhetorically.
No. 4 was stunned and touched his buttocks, "You don't have hemorrhoids either." ”
Zhang Baiyuan: ....... I'm not sitting on it, you can figure out how to get out.
No. 4 was a little panicked, although his strength was only 4, but it was very close to the strength of an adult, how could he not even move?
【Silver Force】
The strength of No. 4 soared directly to 8, the average strength of adults is generally about 75 kilograms, and the strength of No. 4 directly reached 120 kilograms, not to mention this coffin lid, even the entire coffin can be lifted with all his strength.
But no matter how No. 4 tossed, the coffin lid never moved.
"Can't get out?" Zhang Baiyuan asked suspiciously, he found that there was no movement in the coffin.
It stands to reason that this coffin lid is not heavy.
Zhang Baiyuan No. 4: Don't move yet, I have a bit of a situation here.
Zhang Baiyuan was stunned, and originally wanted to go over to help No. 4 out, but he also stopped.
Shifting the perspective to No. 4, Zhang Baiyuan's face gradually became wonderful.
On the lid of the coffin, the piece of wood facing the face was slightly raised, and gradually turned into a human face.
‘tui’
Four spat at the face.
Zhang Baiyuan: ........
Face: "... I didn't even say a word, are you too rude to do this?"
The face was incomprehensible, and the voice spoke like that of an old witch.
Four: "Then you speak first." ”
Face: "Dying, do you want to get out of here?"
Number four: "tui"
Face: "????"
Four: "Aren't you talking nonsense? ”
"What can you give me?" asked Face.
Number four: "tui"
Face: "You're going to stay here forever." ”
Then the face vanished.
Number four: "tui, tui, tui....."
Dozens of seconds later, Number Four reappeared in the big room without incident, but in a hallway instead of in the original living room.
There was also a painting hanging on the wall next to him, but instead of a cellar, it depicted an ugly, abstract human face.
"Eh, boss, I'm out. Number Four said happily.
Zhang Baiyuan: ....... I see, you're doing a great job.
He re-opened the coffin, was silent for a while, took out a pack of tissues from the pen, carefully wiped the inside of the coffin, and then also lay down, and after lying down, he held the coffin lid with both hands, lifted it upward, and restored the coffin to a covered state.
