In the dark corridor, Ling Qi closed the door of his room, and the light shone on everyone's faces, imprinting their figures on the walls of the corridor. There was no other intersection to go here except the kitchen and Lynch's room. And, of course, the dark passage they had just come.

After examining some clues here, and finding nothing, they decided to return to the room where they were dining first. However, when he was in the kitchen, Qin Jian still found something, the door with a four-digit password. But looking at Ling Qi's attitude just now, I couldn't ask any clues from him.

Walking through the passage that was darker than the corridor again, Qin Jian was still in front, and he turned out the flashlight of his mobile phone and shone it in front of him. Ling Yu still followed behind Qin Jian, and the order in which everyone walked was no different from when they came in just now.

After walking for a while, Qin Jian's eyes came with the appearance of bright light, and he knew that it was the bright light in the room in front of the bookshelf. Han Mo and Wen Ya were the last to come out, and after they came out, the gap between the bookshelves on both sides had not been closed, and the four lights on the windows had all been extinguished. Zhang Xiaoqian walked to the clock again and tried to press the button in the middle of the dial, but the bookshelf still did not change in any way, the empty door in the middle of the bookshelf was not closed, and the four lights on the window were not lit.

He looked at the current time on the clock. It was already eight o'clock in the evening, and Zhang Xiaoqian speculated that perhaps because the time on the clock had passed 19:05, so the clock did not react at all.

Zhang Xiaoqian sat back on the red sofa and sat with Yin Fei'er, Yin Fei'er kept holding the book she had just taken down from the bookshelf - "One Man's World", but it seemed that she didn't mean to read it, but when she took it down from the bookshelf just now, because she was about to enter the passage, she forgot that she had the book in her hand.

Everyone sat on the couch and had a discussion about what had just happened.

"The room you entered is a kitchen?" Han Mo asked Ling Yu, who was sitting opposite him.

Ling Yu replied: "Well, it's a kitchen, it doesn't look special, it's just for cooking, but it's ......"

Ling Yu seemed to be saying something, she looked at Qin Jian who was sitting beside her as she spoke, Qin Jian looked at Ling Yu very tacitly, and at the same time opened her mouth to continue what Ling Yu did not finish:

"In addition to some ordinary tools, there is an electric iron door in the kitchen, and next to the iron door is connected a combination lock, on which is a four-digit code, I tried, but it didn't work."

"If the iron door is electric, try to turn it off, will the iron door be opened?"

Qin Jian listened to the voice and looked over, it was Yin Fei'er who spoke, she was talking about a brain hole in her mind.

At this time, Chu Ming shook his head and then said to Yin Fei'er: "No, I have already checked this point, the power is only the combination lock, if the power is turned off, it is just that you can't enter the password on the combination lock, and you can't open the iron door." ”

Yin Fei'er lowered her head and nodded, starting her thoughts again.

The food on the table was no longer hot, but there was still residual warmth, Chu Ming and Shu Xiaoran were a little hungry, so they ate the things on the table first, while Ling Yu and Qin Jian didn't have any thoughts.

The room was quiet and everyone was thinking. And at this moment, heavy footsteps came from the empty door behind the bookshelf, like a ghost in the night, obviously very light, but deliberately expressing his presence.

The sound became more and more pronounced, reaching the ears of everyone in the room, and they looked at the empty door behind the bookshelf, and the figure of a man gradually appeared in their eyes, knowing that all the outlines were revealed.

It was Ling Qi, who came out of the empty door, without the help of any lighting tools, and seemed to have a pair of eyes that could see everything clearly in the dark night.

When he entered the room, he didn't speak, he didn't look at anyone, he just walked to the door that connected the room to the exhibition hall, took out the key in his pocket, and locked the door twice.

"Whew!" Everyone heard the sound of two locks being locked. Ling Qi then left and walked to the empty door behind the bookshelf again. As he approached the steps, Qin Jian suddenly stopped him: "Wait a minute! ”

"Is there something wrong, Mr. Qin?" Ling Qi turned to Qin Jian and said.

"There's a coded door in that kitchen down there, can you tell us the code?"

Ling Qi replied: "Mr. Qin, I have already said that I am not responsible for these things, these things need you to explore, but I can tell you that even if you unlock the code of that door, it will not be of much help to you to find the secret of the museum, so it is better not to put your mind on it." ”

After Ling Qi finished speaking, he walked into the hallway, his back gradually disappearing from everyone's eyes, leaving only empty darkness.

"Are there only these two rooms in the secret door?" Shu Xiaoran seemed to be talking to herself.

Yin Fei'er said: "I don't think it's possible, there should be other rooms in this museum." ”

"Why?" Xiao Ran then asked.

At this time, it was Qin Jian who spoke: "Because we have never found the room where Jin Xi painted." ”

"And that's not all." Zhang Xiaoqian also stood up at this time, and then said: "We all noticed that there are surveillance cameras in both the exhibition hall outside and this room, but we didn't find any monitoring equipment when we were at the door of Ling Qi's room just now, and we didn't even have a computer. ”

"One more thing," Ling Yu also left the sofa, and said, "If our previous conjecture is correct, today's exhibition hall is not the same as yesterday's, then we should also find yesterday's exhibition hall, which is all complex and colorful." ”

"What secrets are hidden in this museum, and what does the painter Jin Xi at the end of the last century want to express?" Han Mo sat on the sofa and muttered to himself.

"In any case, at least we have some clues now, and the only thing that has not yet been solved is the famous paintings hanging on the walls of the exhibition hall, which must also express a content." Chu Ming said at this time.

"It seems that if you want to find the answer to the famous paintings on the walls, you will have to wait until tomorrow to enter the exhibition hall again."

Han Mo looked at the door and said, Ling Qi had locked the door just now, and now they had no way to enter the exhibition hall.

Then, they left their places and returned to their rooms, and Xiao Ran secretly prayed in his heart as he left, hoping that he would find his lost watch in the exhibition hall tomorrow.

After Han Mo asked Wen Ya to go back first, he stayed in this room, along with Zhang Xiaoqian and Ling Yu. The three of them stayed here because they wanted to know what was going to happen at midnight tonight.

Midnight is approaching, this is the time for all the ghosts to come out to gather, outside the museum, the black crows leave their black feathers and their own wails, and the blood moon above glows bloody, illuminating the entire eaves of the museum, as if paving a way for the arrival of those ghosts with the smell of blood.

"Ding-dong-"

On the walls, the clock finally chimes, like the sound of a bell on a ghost's body and the beating of a survivor's heart. The bell was accompanied by a "squeak" sound from the next door to the room.

Han Mo, Zhang Xiaoqian, and Ling Yu left their seats almost at the same time, and they came to the door that connected this room to the exhibition hall, and as they got closer, the voice became louder and louder.

When the clock was above 0:10 a.m., the sound of the clock stopped. The voices in the exhibition hall next door also disappeared tacitly. Ling Yu tried to open the door, and her hand pressed down on the handle, but the door was locked, and she couldn't get out.

The three of them looked at each other in front of the door, and they were right, and at midnight, the voice sounded again. From time to time, a cold wind blew in from outside the window, blowing on everyone's face, and making the curtains above the window sway like ghostly white robes.

They can be sure that the exhibition hall outside must have changed just now, but they don't know what it has become, to be precise, it is April 8th, and when they go in at dawn, they will see the exhibition hall full of famous paintings on the 7th, or the exhibition hall on the 6th, which is all color.

They can't be sure of that. After all the sounds disappeared, like a ghost, the curtains stopped shaking, the food on the table had no taste, it was already cold, Ling Yu and Han Mo Zhang Xiaoqian left the room, turned off the light in the room and returned to their room. Wait for the dawn to come.

[April 8, 6 o'clock in the morning]

Ling Yu opened his eyes on the bed, he still didn't change his clothes after returning to the room last night, he went to the bathroom and took care of himself after going out of the door, passing through the corridor, and entering the dining room, Qin Jian was the only one in the room, he was sitting on the red sofa eating breakfast, and picked up a magazine to browse. Ling Yu saw that the food on the table had been replaced with breakfast.

She walked over to Qin Jian and sat down, and after a while, Chu Ming and Shu Xiaoran also came in, behind them were Han Mo and Wen Ya, followed by Zhang Xiaoqian and Yin Fei'er.

After they had a simple breakfast, they were all waiting for the arrival of seven o'clock, in fact, there was no need to wait for this time at all, because Shu Xiaoran was the first to walk to the door after dinner and tried to open the door, she was the most anxious because her watch was lost.

It was not yet half past six, but when Xiao Ran pressed his hand down the handle, the door connecting to the exhibition hall was actually opened.

Then everyone left their seats and stepped forward to look at the scene in the exhibition hall, especially Shu Xiaoran, the expression on his face was extremely complicated, as if he was full of disappointment. Ling Yu, who was behind Xiao Ran, immediately said: "It turns out that there are more than two rooms!" ”
