Before he walked over, Shiraishi looked out through the crack in the door again.

The dark hallway was empty, and there was no candlelight, and the woman with the candlestick did not seem to return.

If the door was closed, there would definitely be a movement, so Shiraishi only closed the door lightly and walked to the fox and crouched down.

He carefully lifted the drawer and pulled it out very slowly, almost silently.

The drawer was as empty as the bookshelf, and Shiraishi pulled it out almost entirely, until at last in the innermost corner, he saw a picture frame that was upside down, and the back was covered with dust.

The moment the glove touched it, a picture frame suddenly popped up with the words [!] ] symbol.

Shiraishi was still a little excited: the mission had been triggered.

However, this idea had just flickered, and suddenly two diagonal lines appeared out of thin air, staggering on the bubble and making a ×.

Bai Shi was stunned, stretched out his hand and poked the exclamation mark, and a line of text floated next to it:

[Lack of related items, cannot be triggered]

“？？” , what related items, this kind of thing is needed?

Why didn't you use it before?

Shiraishi unwillingly turned on the light screen. In the task bar, sure enough, there is only one task of [Finding the Truth of the Haunted House], and there is no new one.

Is this what you get like when you become a full-time employee......

Let him go back to the novice period!!

Time is gone, old and old. Shiraishi sighed.

But soon he thought that although this might be related to the fact that the novice period had passed, it was not ruled out that the last time he was able to enter Fujie Mingyi's consciousness world, it was because he had accidentally touched something.

- Maybe it's the blood left on the ground after the body was removed, maybe it's the hair of Yoko Okino who accidentally stepped on it, or maybe it's the whole living room...... So what will be needed this time?

“……”

I don't have a clue at all!

Speaking of which, this man has been dead for five years, and it seems that he is still cremated, so he can't run to the cemetery in the middle of the night to dig up people's ashes.

The hidden mission is really cheating, phew.

Shiraishi angrily flipped the upside-down photo frame over and found that it was a group photo.

There are three people in the photo:

A middle-aged man with a smooth head sat in the middle, and behind him, on the left and on the right, stood a simple-looking young man and a smiling woman.

The layout and members are very much like a family photo.

Shiraishi's gaze fell on the face of the head of the family in the middle through the glass.

He immediately remembered the photo of the corpse he had seen not long ago.

The photographs in the newspaper were black and white, and the deceased was covered in blood. But I can still tell from the shape of my head and my face that they are the same person.

After pondering for a moment at the photo, Shiraishi felt that the most reliable move at the moment was to go to the police station tomorrow to inquire about the information and see if it was possible to get the so-called "related items".

If it really doesn't work, I can only put it aside and give priority to completing the task of [Finding Out the Truth of the Haunted House].

I've been playing the game for a long time.,This kind of thing that I know has a hidden plot.,But it's not triggered.,Slowly,I'm used to it......

Shiraishi sighed again, and then he put on the frame, ready to leave the room and continue exploring.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the door of the study, his palms suddenly shook.

Shiraishi lowered his head in surprise, and saw a description pop up next to the photo frame:

[This is a relic full of regret and nostalgia]

【Invalid for removal】

"......", just a photo, is the emotion so abundant!

It is also unknown whether the so-called "removal is ineffective" means that it can only be effective in this room, or if it will permanently lose its effect once you go out of the door.

The main purpose of Baishi is to trigger this kind of hidden quest and get rewards.

Therefore, there is no need to do such risky experiments until the last resort.

So he could only look at the room in compromise, find a corner to hide the picture frame in, and leave alone.

This has some advantages—if you don't have anything with you, you won't have to worry about escaping by removing [the mask].

After giving the little fox instructions to alert him as soon as someone approached, Shiraishi continued to follow his route just now.

His current direction was exactly where the woman in the black dress had just floated by.

The hidden mission has been found, and Shiraishi's search of the room is not so detailed.

After briefly inspecting a few empty houses, and turning a corner, Shiraishi stopped.

There is a dead end ahead.

This small section of hallway, with no doors on both sides and no windows at the end, doesn't look like a storage room, and I don't know what it was designed for.

…… This kind of confusing design is very suspicious.

Shiraishi was about to get closer and look closer, when he suddenly saw the fox under his feet jumping out a few steps. It sniffed all the way to the ground with the tip of its nose, and finally stopped two or three meters away, raised its paw and slapped it on the ground.

Shiraishi walked up to it, crouched down to take a closer look, and found a secret door hidden in the ground.

Slightly to the left, there is a concave handle seven or eight centimeters long, which is hidden in the dark pattern of the floor, and it is really easy to miss if you don't look closely.

Shiraishi reached out to grab it, and was about to exert force, but suddenly remembered something.

He paused, looked at the fox next to him, and asked in an angry voice, "Is there anyone behind the door?" ”

The fox shook his head humanely. It is worthy of being stamped by the system, and has "no less than a child's IQ".

Speaking of which, the word "not less than" is used very vaguely. If you have to be a bar, Einstein can also be classified as a group of people with an "IQ not lower than that of children......

There were too many items to try last time, and in terms of IQ, Shiraishi only tried simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, and it will do it all.

The next time I'm free, I really have to let it try high math......

The fox suddenly sneezed, it exploded its fur, its ears turned slightly from side to side, vigilantly observing the surroundings, but unfortunately found nothing, and finally could only shake its fur in confusion.

Shiraishi lowered his head as if nothing had happened, and with a sharp force, he pulled the door open.

The door was as heavy as he thought, but it wasn't so heavy that it couldn't be opened at all.

If I have to describe it, it's a bit like the force required when changing the bucket of a water dispenser - a powerful adult woman can pull away with a little effort.

While trying to estimate the strength of the people hiding in the house, Shiraishi wiped his head and looked inside the door.

Below is a sloping staircase that extends for about three or four meters, and then turns to the left to lead deeper into the ground.

Shiraishi glanced at the fox and wanted to let it go to explore the way, but after thinking about it, if he startled the snake, he would easily miss the information.

Anyway, he is not here now, so it is better to follow the guidance of curiosity and go down and have a look.

So one person and one fox quickly entered the stairs, and Shiraishi gently closed the door with his backhand and went down the stairs.

Turning the last corner, a door appeared at the end of the road. A faint light spilled from the four sides of the door - there were lights inside.

The fox slapped him again, which probably meant that there was someone inside.

Shiraishi raised his guard and walked to the door, leaned on the door and listened for a moment, then pushed the door open a crack and looked in.

Inside is a basement of about 30 square meters. On the right-hand side of the door, an iron fence splits the basement into two parts.

To put it simply, it's more like a prison cell.

A dimly lit incandescent lamp hung not far from the doorway, very old, the filament trembling, and it looked like there was only one breath left.

In the corner of its illuminated cell, there was a bed with dirty, messy sheets.

A savage man curled up at the head of the bed, shirtless, his beard and hair so long as if he hadn't shaved in years, covered his face, and occasionally let out a low, mournful howl of unknown meaning.

Shiraishi suddenly took a breath.

Seeing this, he finally remembered what kind of case this was!
