Chapter 9 The Attic in the Diary

Lose your marbles? What do you mean? Who's crazy?

Of course, I couldn't figure it out, so I endured my doubts and continued to flip through, only to find that the records in each diary were very brief.

"July 3, 2015.

Useless! It didn't work! He actually lied to them! ”

"July 10, 2015.

He's in the attic! He's in the attic!! I don't have the courage to set him free! What a coward I am! ”

"April 12, 2016.

He went up to the attic again, how could he bear it?

I can't take it anymore, I'm going to get out of here! But how can I get out of here? ”

"July 13, 2018.

Heaven has eyes! I can get out of here! I'll be leaving right away! Let's go!! ”

After reading it, I closed the diary and took a deep breath, only to feel that this was not a diary at all, but someone's emotional catharsis.

And what is recorded in this diary, I can barely understand it, except for the last one.

Because this last one, dated July 13, 2018, is the date I had in my car accident a year ago!

But what is recorded in this diary ......

"What's wrong, Jiang Wangsheng?"

Without waiting for me to think about it, Shen, who had been guarding the window, left the mouth.

"Is there any record in the diary that the old hunter received favors from 'those people'?"

"I don't know if it's a ......"

I shook my head and went to the window and handed the diary to Shen Li.

I really don't know if this counts as a record of the old hunter receiving benefits from 'those people', because the last entry in this diary, the date of which is the date of my car accident a year ago, is just a diary record, and it seems to have nothing to do with the car accident at all.

However, after Shen Li got the diary, his face changed before he could open it.

She stared straight at the words 'Chen Sheng's Diary' on the cover, the stars in her eyes turned around, and she opened the diary, but as she turned the page, her face sank completely.

Until she closed the diary, she turned back strangely and stared deeply at the old hunter on the bed in the corner of the cabin.

"What's wrong, Shen Li? What's wrong? ”

I couldn't help but ask, and Shen Li also looked at me.

"Chen Sheng is not an old hunter, but the eldest son of this old hunter, no wonder I came here this time and didn't see Chen Sheng's ......"

"What?"

I was surprised, Shen Li continued.

"Not only that, but the date recorded in the first diary in this diary, July 2, 2015, is the date when we received the call to go up the mountain a few years ago."

I listened and gasped.

The owner of this diary, Chen Sheng, is actually the eldest son of the old hunter, and the date of the first part of the diary is actually the date when the old hunter mistakenly killed his younger son a few years ago.

So, what is recorded in this diary......

Chapter 1: When he came back from the mountains and brought back that thing, he went crazy......

Part 2: It's useless, he actually lied to them......

Chapter 3: In the attic......

First of all, the date recorded in the first diary is the date when the old hunter killed his younger son by mistake, that is, at that time, only the old hunter and his eldest son were in this wooden house.

And the owner of this diary is the eldest son of the old hunter, so the 'crazy' recorded in this diary refers to...... Old Hunter!

Chapter 2: He deceived them......

The 'they' in the record of the old hunter's eldest son will definitely not be the old hunters, and the ones who can be called 'them' at that time should be Shen Li and others who received the alarm and went up the mountain.

He actually lied to them......

Meaning, the old hunter deceived Shen Li?

The old hunter deceived Shen Li? What did you deceive?

For a while, I couldn't help but think of Shen Li's question about the old hunter's accidental killing of his youngest son.

"Jiang Wangsheng, have you ever thought about how a child would have the courage to get into a scarecrow?

…… Don't you think, that's wrong? ”

I finally understood that what Shen Li meant was not that the scarecrow was evil, but that the old hunter had lied!

What is recorded in the diary of the old hunter's eldest son, that he actually deceived them, is the best proof!

So, the truth about the incident of the old hunter who killed his younger son by mistake......

"Attic ......"

Without waiting for me to think about it, Shen Li didn't care outside the window, and after saying the word attic, he took a few steps to the wooden table in the center of the wooden house, picked up the kerosene lamp on the wooden table, and shone it everywhere above the wooden house.

It was only then that I saw through the candle flame of the kerosene lamp that the top of the wooden house was not a beam, but a flat ceiling plank, which showed that there was still a certain amount of space from these ceiling planks to the roof of the wooden house, which should be the attic in Chen Sheng's diary.

According to Chen Sheng's diary, there must be something in the attic of this wooden house, and that thing should be the key that the old hunter brought back from the mountains and caused the old hunter to 'go crazy' in Chen Sheng's record, of course, it is related to the old hunter's accidental killing of his younger son.

Without hesitation, he took out his mobile phone and turned on the powerful flashlight, and together with Shen Li, he checked the ceiling planks above the wooden house.

Until we stopped at the same time, the light and candlelight in our hands shone on the ceiling plank in the northeast corner of the wooden house, because there was an iron handle in the shape of a hook on the ceiling plank in the northeast corner.

"Jiang Wangsheng, lie on the wall, squat."

"It's not...... Shen Li, why wasn't it you who squatted? ”

"The old lady is everyone's best girl, you ride me, but you are responsible for me, is this reason enough?"

Shen Li glanced at me, I was speechless, so I could only honestly lie on the wall and squat down, let Shen Li stand up again on my shoulder.

And as a result, Shen Li also put his arm on my shoulders, successfully reached the iron hook of the ceiling plank above, and pulled the iron hook to pull it hard.

For a while, with Shen Li's movements, the entire ceiling plank with the iron hook turned downward, and a wooden ladder slid down from the turned up ceiling plank and landed on the ground beside us.

Seeing this, I put down Shen Li on my shoulder, and used a powerful flashlight to shine along the wooden ladder that had slid down, only to see that in the open ceiling plank, there was a pitch black with no fingers visible.

I felt a little uneasy, and Shen Li snatched the mobile phone with a powerful flashlight in my hand, and there was a trace of excitement in my eyes when I looked at the ceiling planks that were turned over above.

"Cowardly?

Jiang forgot to be born, and stayed in the wooden house after cowardice, and the old lady was going to solve the case. ”

"Fart!"

I quickly stopped Shen Li, who was about to step on the wooden ladder, snatched back my mobile phone from her hand, turned around and went up the wooden ladder first, towards the top of the overturned ceiling plank.

Just kidding, how can you admit cowardice in front of a woman? Although I do get upset.

Of course uneasy, what made 'Chen Sheng' emotionally collapsed, but it was in this attic......

Under the pressure of the strange feeling in his heart, with a powerful flashlight, along the wooden ladder, step by step on the top of the overturned ceiling plank, in the narrow attic.

There were no windows, no light, an abyssal darkness......

I poked my head out, turned my wrist, and scanned the dark attic with a powerful flashlight, but suddenly I heard a faint hoarse sound in the darkness behind my head.

It's like crying, it should be the sound of the wind.

Frightened, he quickly looked back at the back of his head, and the powerful flashlight shone at the same time, only to see a large piece of cloth hanging in the pitch-black attic behind his head.

Yes, a large piece of curtain, black curtain, completely blocked the scene behind the curtain, and the faint sound of the wind just now seemed to be behind this curtain.

I felt a little hairy in my heart, and I didn't know why, but I felt that behind the curtain, there was a cold atmosphere.

It's like...... It's like when I was in the detective agency, I found 'Tan Ling' standing in the corridor outside the door when I went out......

This is a special breath that is insensible on the skin, but goes straight to the bottom of the heart......

Could it be that behind this attic curtain, it is the same as 'Tan Ling'......

"Hey, hey, Jiang Wangsheng, come down if you coax it, don't get in the way, okay?"

The sound of Shen Li's urging below interrupted my thoughts, and I gritted my teeth and climbed directly onto the ceiling plank and entered the attic.

The attic is narrow, and after coming up, you can only walk on the cat's waist.

I bent over my waist and used a powerful flashlight to shine on the curtain that blocked my vision, until Shen Li also came up, glanced at me, and then looked at the curtain in the same way.

"What will it be~~"

With a hint of excitement in his voice, Shen Li followed and looked at me and raised his eyebrows.

"It's a good thing that the case from a few years ago can be overturned, what are you afraid of? Is it really cowardly? ”

I glanced at Shen Li, forcibly endured the strange look in my heart, turned on a powerful flashlight, and walked directly towards the curtain.

I don't know why, the closer I got to the curtain, the more intense the chill in my heart became.

It wasn't until I stood still in front of the curtain that I noticed in the flashlight that there were some runes on the black curtain with crimson pen and ink that I couldn't read.

Yes, the runes that I can't understand are like the road symbols that suppress zombies in the old Hong Kong movie zombie movie......

Exercise! What's behind this curtain? What exactly did the old hunter bring back from the mountains?

It was deathly still, and I could hear my own speeding heartbeat.

I took a deep breath and held my breath, then lifted the curtain full of runes.

For a moment, with my movements, a strong smell spread out from behind the curtain, which turned out to be the smell of dust left behind after the burning of the incense wax.

Dao Fu ...... Wax ......

I was even more uneasy in my heart, and I also found out from the irradiation of the powerful flashlight that in the attic space behind the curtain, there was actually ...... It turned out to be an altar......

Not bad! An altar!

Under the stage is a kneeling futon, on which is placed an incense burner, and behind the incense burner is a large black urn half a person high......
