Volume 3 The Place of Confinement Chapter 44 Murder after Succession
Every victim will be immortalized by the evil spirit in the form of a portrait, the portrait of the corridor that Nameless saw before was full of the "trophies" of the evil spirit, thinking of this, Xu Lang couldn't help but shudder, not afraid that the evil spirit would be cruel, afraid that it would be perverted!
As the inspection continued, Xu Lang carefully noticed a faint blood mark on the pillow, so he began to look around the head of the bed without a trace. After all, it is not clear whether it was the old man who killed Jiang Hui or not, in case this is a clue left by Jiang Hui, if it is discovered by the old man, he will definitely attack on the spot.
Xu Lang adjusted to a more private position, turned his back to the old man and watched carefully, this was obviously a word written with his fingers, although it was a little messy and the blood stains were almost dry, but it was vaguely recognizable as a "person" word.
"People"? What did Jiang Hui want to express before he died, could it be that it was a person who killed her?
But looking at the brutal and cruel scene at the scene, Jiang Hui must not have screamed in his room yesterday, otherwise Zhu Zixing, who had not slept next door, would definitely be able to detect it.
So what does this word mean...... Xu Lang began to speculate on this word, this character may not be complete, and it is likely to be a side or radical of a certain word or word.
Which of the people, things, and objects in this castle is related to the word "people"?
Looking at the blood words that had gradually dried up, Xu Lang suddenly realized a problem, that is, if Jiang Hui was killed last night, then how could the blood stains be so fresh.
Xu Lang gently stroked the blood-stained sheets with his hand, damp, sticky and slightly warm, which showed that it was not long after death, could it be that Jiang Hui was killed this morning?
Why didn't we notice it, Jiang Hui's real time to settle the order was actually only the time when the 7 executors went to the restaurant, and they had been separated by a wall from the other executors before, and if something happened, the next door would definitely be alert.
Could it be that during this time, Jiang Hui was killed...... Suddenly, Xu Lang thought of an abnormal situation in his mind, it was when they went up the stairs, he was in a trance, as if he saw the old man behind him disappear for half a second.
Half a second is more difficult for an ordinary person to kill someone than to ascend to the sky, but for an evil spirit, it is too simple, and Nameless saw this evil spirit with his own eyes last night, and the old man clearly has the ability to teleport.
The old man is the evil spirit hidden in this ancient castle!
But what was the old man's chance, in other words, what dead end did Jiang Hui violate? She didn't tell the old man's name when she talked on the phone last night, and even the old man didn't even have a problem asking! What else can trigger a killing condition?
Just when Xu Lang was puzzled, Cheng Guoguo was looking through Jiang Hui's backpack on the side, but he made a discovery, and hurriedly whispered to a few executors to come over.
Xu Lang and the others knew that the little fat man might have made a discovery, so they hurried over, and during this time, the old man still stood at the door without any movement.
The four executors hugged head to head, staring at Jiang Hui's backpack, Cheng Guoguo said first: "As soon as I arrived here, I found that the backpack was open, and the first thing I saw was this notebook that was opened. When he said these words, Cheng Guoguo's face showed a rare seriousness, which was similar to the usual judgment.
Xu Lang took the notebook, turned the pages at the moment, and casually flipped back and forth, and sure enough, on the next page, he saw that this page of paper was densely filled with a sentence "Jiang Hui, live!" Jiang Hui, live! Jiang Hui ......"
"This ...... Who wrote this! Xu Lang was a little dense phobia, and he didn't understand why Jiang Hui's notebook was full of these lines on this page.
Zhu Zixing scratched his head and explained: "Because we entered the newspaper together at that time, we got along a little more, and Jiang Hui was in a bad state before, so I comforted her that she could write more words of encouragement in her diary." Thinking of this, Zhu Zixing also understood what was going on, it was his own advice that made Jiang Hui's notebook open by the evil spirit, so he knew the name.
Zhu Zixing looked at the notebook, his face showed self-blame and regret, if he hadn't said this to Jiang Hui at that time, maybe it would not be Jiang Hui who died this time.
Cheng Guoguo, who was on the side, patted him on the shoulder and whispered comfortingly: "Brother, don't blame yourself too much, no one would have thought that she would bring the diary to the task." ”
Xu Lang's energy was not on them, but he was more convinced in his heart that the old man was the evil spirit, and finally understood why he didn't ask Jiang Hui's name, it turned out that he already knew the name by flipping through the backpack.
If Jiang Hui hadn't hidden herself in the quilt, maybe the old man wouldn't have had the opportunity to rummage through her bag, and her fate would probably be rewritten, in the final analysis, because she couldn't bear the fear in her heart.
But at the last moment before Jiang Hui died, he still left a clue for the rest of the executors, and the meaning of the blood word is still unclear, but Xu Lang realized a more critical problem.
Why did the old man already know Jiang Hui's name last night, but he didn't do it? Instead, it was shot during the day.
You must know that the night has always been the home of evil spirits, and the fear of human beings is maximized, and the previous tasks were mostly accidents at night, but now this evil spirit is very special.
And if you know the name, you will die, so why are Lu Xiaozhi, Ruan Fei and Nameless, who also told the name, okay?
Isn't it enough to know the name enough for the old man to kill someone...... There's another rule to be triggered!
So what did Jiang Hui do that led to his killing?
Could the "person" on the blood word be that Jiang Hui realized the triggering dead end before he died, so he wrote it down and told the rest of the executors, but before she could finish writing this word, she had already lost her breath.
Thinking of this, Xu Lang glanced back at the old man, and now he has almost concluded that the evil spirit that killed the person is this old man, since he disdains to hide the identity of the evil spirit, what is the purpose of taking the corpse away, could it be that the disappeared corpse will be of great help in discovering the way to survive this mission?
Now that the old man is sure to be an evil spirit, and the name issue has also been preliminarily verified, who is the identity of the engraver, and what is the role of the middle-aged man?
Jiang Hui's death is not a bad thing for the executors, at least her death is valuable, and many unknown clues have been confirmed.
Xu Lang whispered that all the speculations just now were told to the other three, and at this time, everyone was silent and thinking about the reliability of Xu Lang's words.
Not long after, Cheng Guoguo's eyes suddenly lit up, and he seemed to have thought of something, and said with a little joy: "Since the empty frame in the room belongs to our posthumous portrait, how about we destroy the empty frame?!" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at him in astonishment, that's right, the perverted killing method of evil spirits, an important part of which is to make a portrait of the deceased's expression before his death, and put it in the frame.
Xu Lang thought about it seriously, although this method has a certain feasibility, but without a frame, the evil spirit can't kill people? And the frame can be said to have nothing to do with this mission "Forbidden Place", it is nothing more than a perverted psychology of evil spirits.
Xu Lang slowly said what he thought just now, and it made sense for everyone to think about it, but then Xu Lang said quietly: "But you can also give it a try, maybe it will have some effect." But we people try not to get into danger, Lu Xiaozhi and Ruan Fei have already told the names of the evil spirits, their death is a matter of time, it is better to let them try it in a desperate situation, and test the way of life for everyone! ”
Hearing this, the veteran Cheng Guoguo felt that it was a good choice, and Nameless also acquiesced to this view, but Zhu Zixing looked embarrassed, after all, they entered the newspaper office together, and there was a feeling of sympathy for each other.
Knowing that the two of them had triggered a dead end, he felt a little sad in his heart, not to mention that Jiang Hui had died a tragic death, and at this time, he was still a little reluctant to let go of his team members as guinea pigs for experiments.
After all, he has joined the newspaper for a short time, and he can't be like Xu Lang and others, who are used to seeing human nature and life and death, and he has never expressed his position in silence.
Xu Lang glanced at him, in fact, he was also a little concerned about this newcomer. The first one called himself to exchange information, and he had the courage to take the initiative to come to Jiang's room to look for clues, and his plasticity was the strongest among these newcomers.
It's just that most of the newcomers are not aware of their current situation, either they die or their teammates die, or they die together, no matter which is not easy for newspaper employees, so they can only be forced to choose the most acceptable one.
Xu Lang sighed and tried to persuade Zhu Zixing: "You have only been in the newspaper for a short time, and you haven't realized your situation yet. Lu and Ruan have almost triggered a dead end, and the way of life is even more urgent for them, doing nothing is waiting for death, and there may be a glimmer of hope if they take the risk of trying. ”
Although Zhu Zixing is kind, he is not stupid, but he can't change the way he does things as an ordinary person for a while. Hearing the admonition and experience in Xu Lang's words, he also forced himself to gradually accept this way of survival in the future, and nodded slowly.
As soon as the next plan was finalized, everyone stood up, straightened their waists, and was about to speak, when suddenly an extremely terrifying scream came from downstairs, and this voice suddenly frightened everyone.
Xu Lang hurriedly turned around, the old man didn't know when he disappeared into the room, he immediately realized something, and quickly called the others to run downstairs.
As soon as I went out of the door, I looked down at the railing, and saw that the restaurant on the first floor was already covered with blood at this time, and Lu Xiaozhi and Li Feng ran upstairs with frightened faces and panicked steps, and they didn't dare to look back at all.
Lu Xiaozhi saw Xu Lang and the others as if they were seeing relatives, and they cried out instantly, their noses and tears hung all over their faces, their voices changed their tones, and they shouted in a desperate voice: "Die... He's dead! Ruan Fei was killed! ”
