Chapter Twenty-Five, The Cocoon of the Spider
When she was so nervous, San Yao was still smiling, deliberately teasing Tang Yao, she didn't seem to be worried about the situation in front of her at all.
"Why don't you speak, dumb?" Sanyu leaned over and asked.
Tang Yao subconsciously hid back, he knew that if he spoke, Sanyu would probably really have a way to help him get through the crisis in front of him, but let him put down his body and beg others, he was more or less reluctant in his heart, not to mention that Sanyu called him a "rookie", which made Tang Yao a little disgusted.
The housekeeper's old man's flashlight had already shone on the coffee table, and if he moved it to the side a little more, it would shine on the sofa, Tang Yao kept thinking about how not to be discovered, but there was nothing he could do, he opened his mouth and finally said, "Then please help ......."
San Yu actually looked at Tang Yao expectantly, but before Tang Yao could finish speaking, suddenly a strong cold wind blew into the hall, accompanied by the cold wind, and a strange sound came from outside the house at the same time.
The old housekeeper, who had just discovered Tang Yao and the others, was also attracted by this sudden situation, and took a flashlight to shine it at the place where the sound came from, and at the same moment, Tang Yao also looked in the direction of the corridor.
The already dark and oppressive sky was swept by thunder at this time, and a dark world was illuminated in an instant, and with the strong light of the thunder, Tang Yao actually saw a huge black object hanging from the ceiling of the corridor.
After the thunder disappeared, there was only a black shadow left, and it was impossible to see what kind of monster it was, but the outer outline looked like a huge bat, Tang Yao estimated that if it was really a bat, then this bat was only afraid that it would be more burly and strong than him.
"Could it be a youkai?" Tang Yao muttered in his heart.
At that moment, the mysterious monster suddenly spoke, and a sharp voice came from a man's mouth.
"Old spider, did you find something?"
In addition to Tang Yao and Sanyu, there is only the old man of the housekeeper here, obviously this mysterious "bat monster" is talking to the old housekeeper, but the strange thing is that he actually calls the old man of the housekeeper "old spider".
"What are you doing here, this is my next deal, do you want to fight for credit?" Sure enough, the old butler knew the bat monster, and there was still a bit of hostility between the words.
"The upper authorities found out that the Hall of Dead Bones was interfering in this matter, and sent a few people, worried that you would mess up, so they sent me to help." The Bat Monster mentions the Hall of Bones, and it seems that he and the forces behind him are supposed to be the opposite of the Hall of Bones.
"It's just a few fledgling little dolls, I've stabilized them, and even if they find out my true identity, I'm completely sure that I can solve these little guys, you don't need to interfere, and I don't want you to take credit." The old man of the housekeeper is really not a good stubble, and Tang Yao, who heard this, even suspected that his identity was also fake, and it might be some lawbreaker.
"You'd better find out the obsidian as soon as possible, if the Dead Bone Hall knows the secret in the Zhang family's old mansion, it will definitely send a master to come, and then it will be troublesome, and those little ghosts, if you don't do it, I will deal with it." With that, the "bat monster" spread its wings, then jumped backwards, jumped onto the roof and disappeared.
The old man of the housekeeper seemed to be a little displeased, and snorted coldly, but he did not continue to search the hall, but left straight away with a flashlight.
After the old man walked away, Tang Yao walked out from behind the sofa, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then Sanyu came over and asked, "What do you think?" ”
"This old butler and the mysterious strange man who just appeared seem to be looking for something called obsidian, and this thing is hidden in the Zhang family, according to my reasoning, the identity of this old man in the housekeeper is mostly fake, I'm afraid it's to hide people's eyes, the three of us entered the Zhang family's old mansion without knowing it, it seems that it should have just disrupted their plans, so they will lure us in, and then I'm afraid they will take action against us." Tang Yao felt that the situation was getting more and more serious, so he took out his mobile phone and called Fang Chao, but he couldn't get through several calls.
"Let's go, let's go to Fang Chao and discuss it first." Tang Yao prepared to return to the garden to meet with Fang Chao.
But she said, "I just saw the butler holding a lunch box in his other hand. ”
"This is not unusual, people are iron and steel, and bad people also have to eat." Tang Yao said disappreciatively.
Sanyu shook his head and said, "But he eats too much, the amount of that lunch box seems to be at least the amount of two adults, why does he eat so much as an old man?" ”
After being reminded by Sanyu, Tang Yao also felt a little strange, lowered his head and thought for a moment, and suddenly said in surprise: "You mean, those meals are prepared for others, which means that in addition to this old man and the strange person who talked to him, there may be other people here, that is, the so-called master, right?" ”
Sanyu nodded vigorously and said, "I think the top priority should be to find out who that old man is first, maybe it's a captured hostage." ”
Tang Yao looked at the direction of the garden, and quickly made a decision in his heart, preparing to walk through the hall to see the true face of the so-called "master" of Lushan.
It was not quiet along the way, there was a dull thunder in the sky from time to time, Tang Yao's nerves were tense, whether it was the old man in the housekeeper, or the weirdo who looked like a bat, he might suddenly appear in front of Tang Yao anytime and anywhere, Tang Yao, who had come into contact with the illusionist circle, deeply understood that he was not qualified at all now, if he was a powerful illusionist, even if he did not reach the level of a beginner illusionist, he could easily deal with himself.
So he had to be careful and careful, but the Sanyu who followed behind him was very relaxed, not only walking three steps and two steps when walking, but also humming two small tunes from time to time.
"I said, can you be nervous?" Tang Yao looked back and asked with some irritation.
"Why be nervous?" Sanyu jumped to Tang Yao's side with her hands behind her back and said with a smile, "I like solving puzzles the most, and solving puzzles is the most interesting." ”
Tang Yao shook his head, feeling that he was not on the same channel as the girl in front of him at all, so he could only give up arguing with her and continue to walk forward, and when he was about to reach the end of the corridor, he saw the only room with a faint light.
Tang Yao stopped, lowered his body as much as possible, and approached the window of the room step by step, the glass window was covered with dust, and he could only see the light coming out but he couldn't see the specific situation inside, Tang Yao boldly reached out and broke a gap in the window, and looked inside through the gap.
At first glance, you can see the oil lamp lit on the table, because the old house has no electricity, so the lighting is oil lamp, the light is not very sufficient, but you can still see the situation in some rooms, and it seems that there are traces of people walking and living here.
Tang Yao gradually opened the window, and looked inside, most of the area in the room was relatively normal, but soon his eyes fell on the bed, an old carved bed, but at this moment there seemed to be a white thing on the bed, which was incompatible with the layout of the entire room.
"What's that?" Tang Yao was curious, looked back, and after making sure that he had not been found, he quickly walked into the room.
After closing the window, he lifted the oil lamp on the table and walked in the direction of the big bed, slowly approaching, and heard a strange breathing sound in his ears, and finally he stood next to the big bed, but was stunned by what he saw.
The white thing that was placed on the bed turned out to be a huge cocoon.
The white cocoon, which looks like an insect being wrapped before it hatches, and the appearance of a spider hunting for food and wrapping around its prey with spider silk, this white cocoon is very large, the size of an adult, and the layers of white spider silk are wrapped around something.
"Woo woo ......" A strange sound came out of the cocoon, Tang Yao approached with an oil lamp, and the sound coming out of the cocoon became clearer and clearer, like breathing and shouting.
"There's not going to be a person wrapped around here, is there?" Tang Yao was frightened by his thoughts.
The next moment, he hurriedly reached out and tore open the cocoon in front of him, the extremely sticky white silk was also full of toughness, Tang Yao took a lot of effort to tear a small gap in this huge cocoon, at this moment, he saw what was wrapped in the cocoon.
He guessed correctly, this huge cocoon was indeed wrapped in a person, an old man.
