In the kitchen of the museum, Qin Jian was the only one alone, and he still held the only Jin Xi's work on the shelf in his hand. On it, Qin Jian found Jin Xi's date of birth and death.

After Qin Jian entered Jin Xi's date of death into the coded door, the coded door then heard the sound of "ding dong" - the door was opened.

Qin Jian's eyes lit up, and he didn't have time to put down the book in his hand, and then he walked into the door. It didn't look any different on the surface, but after walking in, Qin Jian found that behind the door was a small cubic space, which covered an area of about a few square meters, like a small box.

Inside, there are two buttons directly in the direction of the door, one pointing up and one pointing downward. The space he was in looked like an elevator. The door is still on power, and I wonder if it has something to do with these two buttons.

Because he remembered that he had come here and passed through the secret passage behind the bookshelf, and the steps in the secret passage were facing down, so it was relatively low compared to the space just now. He tried to press the upward pointing button in front of him.

As his fingers pressed down, the door of this small cube space was first closed, and then it began to tremble, and Qin Jian felt that he had a feeling of being overweight. That feeling is telling yourself that you're moving upwards right now. It seems that what I am entering now is really an elevator, but I don't know where this elevator will lead me.

In a few seconds, Qin Jian felt that the elevator he was taking no longer moved, it had stopped, and then the door in front of him was opened. Qin Jian saw the outside of the door, which was a little darker than the interior.

Qin Jian walked out of this space, and soon the elevator sank by itself. It was the first time he had breathed the air outside in the past three days, and it was also the first time he had seen the outside scene. He looked around him, where is this? I just went straight up, so this should still be around the Museum of the Dead. He looked closely, and there was no green grass on the surrounding meadows, although the grass should have grown at this season. A few dead trees not far away seemed to have been squeezed out of all the "blood", and there was no moisture on their bodies, and they were thin into a light pole. There are a few black birds above, this time it is not a crow, I don't know what kind of it, Qin Jian has not seen it, but he must be sure that this kind of bird does not like light.

After resting for a moment on the branches of the dead trees, the birds flapped their wings and flew into the depths of the clouds where there was no sunlight, and all they longed for was darkness. Just like the painter Jin Xi at the end of the last century, he is unwilling to expose himself to the sun, and is only willing to be a ghost behind the clouds without being discovered.

After a long time, Qin Jian reacted, wasn't this exactly the few trees he saw in the dining room just now, although the angles were different, but Qin Jian's observation power could still recognize them. He went over his head again to see the museum's buildings. There are four windows that deviate a little above your head, which are the windows of the dining room.

I think I'm on the side of the museum.

With his own direction recognition, he walked to the door of the museum, where Han Mo's red car was still there, with a scratch on it, which was caused by him accidentally hitting Xiao Ran's car while driving three days ago.

This is in front of the museum, and it's the same as it was three days ago, almost even the weather is exactly the same, it's cloudy anyway. Just now, when leaving the small cube space, Qin Jian noticed that there was also a combination lock on the side of the museum just now, which seemed to open the elevator.

Now Qin Jian stood in front of the door, he tried to push open the door of the entire museum, the door was not locked, and Qin Jian didn't use much strength to open the door. The dazzling lights in the exhibition hall shone into Qin Jian's eyes, and then he saw all the chaotic scenes inside. As in the morning, there were various broken pieces on the ground, and the overturned wine vessels on the base of the exhibition stand. There are also traces of some spilled wine, and the famous paintings on the walls that still don't know what they mean.

Closing the door of the exhibition hall, it was also the door of the entire museum, and through this familiar and unfamiliar exhibition hall, Qin Jian came to the end of it, in front of the door that connected this place to the dining room.

Pushing open the door and entering, Ling Yu and the others were still sitting on the sofa, and as they pushed the door open, they attracted everyone's attention.

"Qin Jian? How did you get in from here? Chu Ming, who was looking at Qin Jian, said to Qin Jian.

"I'll tell you." Qin Jian said as he walked to the sofa, and after sitting down, he didn't rush to eat, put down the book written by Jin Xi in his hand, and then picked up a cup of coffee, the coffee was not so hot but still a little hot.

Qin Jian looked at the time on the clock on the wall, counting from the time he left, it was only about twenty minutes later, and he looked at the dead trees outside the window, and the black bird had just flown away from them.

Turning his head, Qin Jian told them what had just happened. The strangest thing is Ling Yu, she saw Qin Jian leave through the secret door behind the bookshelf, and she didn't know why she came out of this door again, in the process of Qin Jian's narration, Ling Yu listened very carefully.

After a few minutes, Qin Jian finished speaking, and then Ling Yu spoke: "In this case, did Ling Qi come in through this passage the day before yesterday?" ”

Qin Jian said: "Well, judging from the current discovery, I can only guess like this. ”

"Then why didn't he come directly from this secret passage behind the bookshelf?" Shu Xiaoran asked.

Zhang Xiaoqian got up from the sofa at this time and said, "I think it may be because we found this secret passage behind the bookshelf, after all, it is his residence, as the manager of the museum, but he is not responsible for helping us find the secret." ”

"Of course, it may also be because it is more convenient to deliver food that way, and the reason why he sometimes chooses this secret channel to deliver food may be because we were observing the situation in the exhibition hall at that time, and he didn't want to disturb us."

Zhang Xiaoqian deduced it this way. After telling their opinions, several of them settled down to eat. Yin Fei'er, who was sitting next to Zhang Xiaoqian, seemed to have finished eating, and her eyes kept staring at the book beside Qin Jian. is "One Man's World" that he handed over to Qin Jian.

Then she stood up and said, "Everyone, I've finished eating, I'm a little unwell, go back to my room to rest first." ”

When she left, Zhang Xiaoqian deliberately glanced at Yin Fei'er, he knew that Yin Fei'er must not say this because of his own physical reasons, most likely because of something, but he didn't stop Yin Fei'er, he knew Yin Fei'er's temperament.

The clock time passed little by little, although this season, the weather here is relatively gloomy, but relatively speaking, it is still a bit stuffy, and the clothes worn by everyone in the room are also a little heavy, most of which are affected by the weather. Chu Ming already had some beads of sweat on his forehead. Shu Xiaoran thoughtfully wiped the sweat on Chu Ming's forehead.

For the exhibition hall they saw before, they didn't have any new concepts, that is, the exhibition hall was chaotic, and the only thing that was strange was that there were famous paintings hanging on the walls, and only one of the famous paintings was created before the nineteenth century, which was created in 1864, and there was a special flavor on it, which was very familiar and very unfamiliar.

After exchanging their opinions, they went back to their rooms. They haven't rested well in the past few days, taking this opportunity to go back and take a rest, Qin Jian deliberately glanced back at the sofa he had just now when he left, and he found that the book was missing. However, Qin Jian didn't care, Qin Jian was not interested in what was written on it, he had already found the password of the elevator, so he didn't need it anymore.

He thought it was someone who wanted to take a look, so he didn't pay attention to it. All that was left of the room was glare lights and remnants of food. Behind the bookshelf, a figure reappeared, Ling Qi put away the food on the table, and then walked into the secret passage behind the bookshelf.

He didn't use a flashlight during the whole process because he got used to it.

If a person is accustomed to the darkness, then this darkness will give the person a lot of things, and he will be able to see things in the night that others cannot see, as if he has planted another pair of eyes in the darkness. The same is true of Ling Qi, who understands everything and what the secrets are hidden in this museum, but he can't say it now. He counted the time of their arrival, two and a half days had passed, and it was now the third day, and he thought to himself that maybe it was time to adopt that plan.

Because of Jin Xi, because of his father.

He put the food in the kitchen and went straight back to his room, since Ling Yu and the others found the secret passage behind the bookshelf in the past few days, he rarely used the elevator leading to the outside in the kitchen, not that he didn't like convenience, but he preferred a dark environment. Like a ghost, you can show your gorgeous dance posture on the black stage.

The time in the afternoon passed quickly, today compared to the previous two days, everyone seemed to have discussed, they did not come to the dining room to eat in the evening according to the time, only Han Mo took Wen Ya, and Chu Ming took Shu Xiaoran to the room to eat, and the rest of the people did not come out. I don't know what they're doing.

In Ling Yu's room, she was sorting out her thoughts, thinking about the changes in the exhibition hall of the museum from the day before yesterday to today, while Qin Jian in the next room, he was thinking about the murals hanging on each exhibition hall in the next three days, what they meant, including the time on it and the smell on it.

There is also Zhang Xiaoqian, who is sorting out his notes, but the content on it is estimated that only he can understand it.

Then there was Yin Fei'er's room, but what everyone didn't know was what Yin Fei'er was preparing in Yin Fei'er's room, the book that opened on her desk, "One Man's World", looking at the content on it, a bold idea suddenly came to her mind.

The weather outside the window had already darkened, Han Mo and the others left the room after dinner, among them Yin Fei'er came over to drink a cup of coffee, just in time to see Ling Qi walk in and lock the door connecting this room and the exhibition hall twice. Yin Fei'er saw this scene in her eyes, and then the corners of her mouth rose slightly, as if she knew something.

After the night had completely darkened, the Blood Moon rose into the sky, and the wail of ghosts was enveloped outside, and the blood terror of demons descended from the entire sky. In the middle of the museum, the door to a room was opened, and she gradually began to act on her own until she disappeared completely......
