Chapter Eighty-Four: Sky Lanterns
"This room should be where the woman's left hand is lifted. The door is iron, and on the surface, it should be pushed in, but there is no hinge on the side of the door, and if you look closely, there is a slide rail on it...... This iron door should move from side to side. ”
I grabbed the doorknob and tried to pull it in either way, but the door only shook slightly, making an imperceptible 'pop' sound.
"Stuck?!" Shi Fatzi stepped forward again, "Could it be that the latch was also inserted from the inside?" ”
I shook my head, "This door is deliberately disguised like the other doors, so it should have been built when the hotel was still open." Unless there is a living person in it now, how can it be inserted from it? ”
I took two steps back, looked at the walls on either side of the door with my phone, and asked the fat man, "Do you see anything wrong?" ”
Shi Fatzi shook his head, and I saw that Sang Lan was also at a loss, and couldn't help laughing: "It seems that neither of you has played the escape room game." If the door doesn't open, there must be a latch or mechanism. Don't you think this door is too close to the outer wall? ”
As I spoke, I stepped aside, tried to push open the window at the end of the hallway, poked my head out and looked at the exterior wall, and with the flash of my mobile phone, I saw a thin iron plate on the outer wall of room 419 that resembled the lid of a substation.
The iron plate is the same size as the wall tiles on the exterior wall, and it is painted the same color as the wall tiles, and it is impossible to find such a special existence when you look up from the first floor.
The person who designed this mechanism obviously didn't expect that someone would find such a hidden location, so they didn't deliberately reinforce this baffle.
I took out my saber, leaned out again, and without much effort, pried a corner of the baffle.
I tried to reach in and quickly felt for a cold metal handle. I tried to twist it hard, but the handle was twisted, and I retracted and raised my chin at the fat man, "Open the door!" ”
Shi Fatzi grabbed the doorknob and pulled it to the side, and the door moved sideways.
The fat man had already taken out his mobile phone at this time, turned on the flash, and as soon as the door opened, he immediately shone inside.
"it!"
I don't know what he saw, but suddenly he scolded angrily, and hurriedly took two steps back and hit the corridor wall.
Seeing his reaction, I hurriedly pulled Sang Lan behind me, turned my head, and looked into the room with my mobile phone.
When I saw the situation inside, I suddenly had a burst of scalp explosion.
The 419 rooms do not have any facilities that should be in the rooms, but on the floor in the middle of the room, there is a lotus-shaped stone platform more than one meter high and twice the size of an ordinary stone mill.
On the top of the lotus platform, there is not a stone clay sculpture, but a dead body of a girl who has been waxed while sitting!
When I saw that strange scene on the top of the building through the mountains and the sea, combined with some of the feng shui doorways that the blind man had told me before, I had already roughly thought of the way to find the real tomb of the living dead, or the 'main burial chamber'.
I followed the line of thought to find this place, but I never imagined that there would be such a strange and terrifying scene in this 419 room.
Sang Lan also saw the situation in the house, she still had an instinctive fear of the dead body, although she didn't make a sound, she was already clinging to the small pillar, and she couldn't stop trembling.
I made up my mind and let her stay outside, and stepped into 419.
After entering, I found that there were no guest room facilities in this house, not even a bathroom, just a coffin-like straight room.
Shi Fatzi followed, looked around, walked to the lotus platform, looked up and down at the wax corpse, turned his head and said, "This child's posture is the same as the woman I saw on the roof...... It is exactly the same as the woman's pose on the mural on the second floor. But why doesn't she have a left hand? ”
At this time, I had seen the appearance of the girl's wax corpse clearly, and I only felt that I had a splitting headache entangled in questions, and I couldn't bother to talk to him.
"Are you alright?" Sang Lan finally followed, and asked in a trembling voice next to me.
"It's okay......" I shook my head vigorously, and finally couldn't restrain my emotions, pointed to the wax corpse on the lotus platform and said, "This girl...... I was only in Sunjialou yesterday...... I saw ...... at the fourth aunt's house She's 'shaking three pounds'! ”
Sang Lan didn't hear me talk about my experience at the fourth aunt's house in detail, but just looked at me blankly.
I can see clearly, although the surface of the girl's body is waxed, but the overall remains intact, through the surface of the wax shell, I can clearly see that this girl is yesterday under the big poplar tree of the fourth aunt's house, ask me if I can give her my hand back to shake three catties!
Her left arm and missing left hand confirm her identity even more!
Shaking the corpse of three catties, why is it in Sanyi Garden?
How could this child king, who was killed by a wild boar more than 20 years ago, be involved in this tomb of the living dead?
My thoughts, which I had barely managed to calm down a while ago, became chaotic again, and for a moment I almost completely lost the ability to think.
"Master!"
"Jinghai!"
In desperation, I could only ask Jinghai for help.
But no matter how much I shouted, the old bald man just didn't respond.
At this time, Sang Lan stepped forward and stared at the corpse that shook three catties for a while, and suddenly turned around and said, "This is not an ordinary dead corpse, it is a moon lantern!" ”
"What?" I looked at her suddenly.
Sang Lan motioned for me to step forward, holding the dog in one hand, and pointing to the severed arm held by the wax corpse with trembling with the other: "The moon lantern is made by the demon of the Yin corpse and is used to absorb the essence of the moon. On the night of the full moon, the original soul of the sky lantern is re-instilled into her spiritual platform, and then the sky lantern is lit with a yin fire to ingest the moonlight. Look at the wound on this arm, it looks like it has just been broken, this is the wick of the sky lantern! ”
I heard that my body was cold, and Shi Fatzi was also fighting with his upper and lower teeth next to him, and asked, "Light people up with sky lanterns and ingest the moonlight...... What is the purpose of the person who lit the lamp? ”
"The living have a yang life, and the ghosts have a yin life. I don't know what those corpses did before, but this moon lantern is lit with human souls, and the ingested moonlight can increase the ghost's yin longevity! If there is enough Moon Essence, the ghost can be free from the control of the Yin Si, and even return to the physical body and 'live' like a living person! ”
'Live as a living man'......
This sentence sounded illogical, and it struck me in the chest like a hammer.
Use the corpse as wax, and use the human soul to light the lamp to borrow the yin longevity...... Is this the secret of the existence of the living dead?
If this is the case, Zang Zhiqiang is really right, this is really the tomb of the living dead......
My mind spun quickly, "Let's go back to the second floor and look at the mural again......"
Before the words fell, I saw Shi Fatzi suddenly running towards the door, and at the same time shouted and asked, "Who is it?!" ”
