A few days after Jin Yu left, Shen Muhan and I never mentioned the matter of Baqi Village again, during which the madman tentatively asked Jin Yu a few times about the purpose of his visit, which made me prevaricate. Although it seems that the madman was not convinced by the reason I gave, he opened his mouth a few times and swallowed it alive. As for Li Jingyao, she didn't like to talk very much, and she was not interested in the things that Jin Yu said, and took care of the flowers and plants according to the method taught by Shen Muhan all day long, and the whole person looked a little more cheerful.

I know very well that I am actually running away from all the things about the five spirits of the heavens, although it is somewhat shameful to blindly escape, but the days of escape are quite comfortable.

I've experienced too many things before, so I have to reconsider whether to pursue it, or what kind of time should I find the truth about the five spirits of the heavens.

It's just that I didn't expect this time to come so quickly.

Three days later, before dawn in the morning, I was woken up from my dream by Shen Muhan's scream, I had never heard her scream like this, as if I was very frightened. I got out of bed with a grunt, rushed downstairs without putting on my shoes, and when I went downstairs, I happened to meet the madman coming out of the bedroom rubbing his eyes, and it seemed that he was also awakened by fright.

When I went down to the living room on the first floor, Shen Muhan ran over with a frightened face, ran to my side and grabbed my arm, raised his face to look at me, his lips kept trembling, as if he had something to say, and there were some tears on his face, as if he had just cried.

"Sister Han, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Shen Muhan's appearance, the madman couldn't help but ask out loud, without the slightest sleepiness.

Shen Muhan looked at me, trembling and stretched out his finger to the east wall, I remember that position should be a mural, I don't know when it was hung up, I asked Uncle Li before, it is not a famous calligraphy and painting, it is said that the original owner of the villa liked it, and Professor Yu did not change it when he bought it. Now that the mural has fallen to the ground, a black door has appeared on the wall where the mural was hung, because the sky is not completely bright, and I can't see what is inside, could it be that this villa still has a secret room?

I glanced back at the madman, who immediately understood what I meant, and took a step back: "Wood, don't look at me, I don't know what's going on." ”

I helped Shen Muhan to the sofa and comforted him for a while, and only when my mood was a little more stable did I stand up and look at the door again. Shen Muhan and I have lived here for a short time, so there are many places that we can't be as familiar with as a madman, but since even the madman doesn't know when this door appeared, eighty percent has always existed, but it was blocked by that painting, and now I don't know why the painting fell down, and the door of the secret room leaked out.

Since a secret room has been built in this villa, it can't be used to pickle pickles, it must be hiding something, and Shen Muhan was also scared like this because he saw something in the secret room. It's just that Shen Muhan couldn't say a word because he was too frightened, and I could only go over and see what was in it.

When the madman saw me walking towards the secret room, he was about to raise his heels behind me, I pointed at Shen Muhan, and the madman naturally understood what I meant, so he didn't continue to walk forward, and stayed to take care of Shen Muhan. Although he didn't know what was in the secret room, Shen Muhan used to stay with the dried corpses every day, and ordinary things would definitely not be scared like this. I was on guard, grabbed a bottle from the shelf next to me, thought about it, and put it back. Uncle Li has collected a lot of antiques because of archaeology, and that is his favorite blue and white porcelain just now, if he is really scrapped, he will not be able to explain it when he comes back.

I looked around, and there was only a feather duster left except for the bottles and cans, which was a bit worse as a weapon, but it was better than empty-handed, and if there was any problem, at least I could still struggle.

I walked slowly towards the secret room with a feather duster, and listened to the movement inside, it was quiet, there was no sound, it didn't look like there was anything alive. However, looking at the black door, I always feel like I am stepping into an abyss step by step, and the closer I get, the more bottomless my heart becomes, and a sense of foreboding slowly rises.

The further I walked through the door, the more it seemed to have a huge attraction, and I wanted to run uncontrollably, as if a voice was constantly whispering: "Come on, come on......"

I endured the uneasiness in my heart and slowly walked to the door of the secret room, after thinking about it, I still didn't dare to raise my feet and step in, standing at the door and poking my head inside, it was strange to say, even if I stood at the door, it was still pitch black inside, and I couldn't see anything.

The end of summer was dawning fast, and the window was already much brighter than before, but there was still no light in the secret room, as if all the light had been absorbed, and my eyes were still dark when I widened my eyes. I checked the feather duster in my hand, and was thinking about whether to go back to find something to take advantage of, when suddenly a slight voice came out of the darkness in front of me, the voice was very soft, but it came into my ears very clearly, and for a while I was not sure if the voice really existed or because I was nervous and delusional.

Just as I was stunned, the voice sounded again, and this time I heard it very clearly, as if it was tapping on the eardrum, and it was obvious that it was the sound of a man sighing!

When the voice came again, I stood up with sweat and hair, even though it was already daylight outside, and there were two big living people sitting not far behind me, at this moment I also felt a cool breeze blowing on my back. This villa has a history of decades, and this secret room should have existed for decades, and it is definitely impossible for a person to stay in it since the day the secret room was built, but Shen Muhan and I have been back for a few months, and we have never seen anyone enter or leave here, could it be that there is a person who has been staying in the secret room these days, separated from us by a wall? It's not even a wall, it's a painting at best.

Who is this person? And what is the purpose of hiding in a secret room?

I was thinking about it when suddenly a face appeared in front of me without warning. That face appeared quietly in the door, only a dozen centimeters away from my face, I could even feel his gasping air spraying on my face, but I couldn't see the appearance of that face at all, but clearly felt that he was there, looking at me motionlessly, and in an instant, cold sweat broke out on my back.

"Wood! What's the situation? The madman could only see me stopping at the door for a while not far away, and he couldn't see the face in front of me at all, and asked out loud in a hurry.

Hearing the madman's words, I suddenly recovered from my stunned thoughts, raised the feather duster in my hand, and slammed it towards that face.

Although the feather duster is not a handy weapon, I can even use the strength to feed, and it will definitely be good to take a beating. But I didn't expect that the feather duster actually stopped in mid-air, as if the face inside stretched out his hand and grabbed it, I tried to pull it back, and the feather duster didn't move. I was about to call for the madman to come and help, when the face on the other side actually spoke.

"It's me."

Then the face slowly came out of the darkness, and when I saw it clearly, I breathed a sigh of relief, it was Li Jingyao, who was holding the other end of the feather duster in her hand.

"I said Miss, you have nothing to do to water your flowers and plants, isn't it good to fertilize, why are you running here to scare people?"

Li Jingyao walked up to me and let go of the feather duster in her hand: "You come in." With that, he turned around and walked back to the secret room. I looked at her back and suddenly hesitated, not knowing whether to follow up or not. After hesitating for a while, she decided to go in and have a look, after all, Li Jingyao is not a rude and willful little girl, and this kind of prank to scare people is not suitable for her, there must be something in it.

The strange thing is that I can't see clearly outside, but the whole secret room is very bright as soon as I enter the door, and there is even a lamp, I don't know if it was lit when Li Jingyao came in just now. The whole secret room is not too big, and the position opposite the door is a cabinet, on which are messily placed some file folders, which have been covered with a layer of dust, and there are some papers scattered on the ground, and dense words can be faintly seen.

On the wall next to the cabinet was an oil lamp, which had been lit, and the light in the secret room was emitted by it, looking at the green flames of the oil lamp, I couldn't help but think of the ghost lantern that the madman had brought up after returning from Dingjia Village. The situation here seems to be exactly what the madman said at the time, except for the color of the light, and the fact that the entire secret room can only be seen where the light shines.

"Miss, do you know this lamp?" Since she met Li Jingyao, she has hidden a lot of secrets, and she may be able to tell if this lamp is a ghost lantern.

I didn't hear Li Jingyao's response after I finished speaking, and when I turned around, I found that behind my right, there was a quaint table on the side of the door.

"Miss, what are you looking at?" I asked, leaning over, holding back a shudder. There was a person lying on the table, to be precise, it should be a corpse, and it was blocked by Li Jingyao just now due to the angle.

The corpse's face was turned to the side, his entire facial features were twisted together, his left hand was holding the edge of the table, his nails were picking at the tabletop, as if he had endured a lot of pain before he died, scratches could still be faintly seen on the table, and several nails had fallen off, I don't know if they were picked off before he died. The right hand is clenched into a fist and stretched forward vigorously. The whole body has been completely dried up, and it is not known how long it has been dead.

Seeing this, I suddenly remembered the voice I heard outside the door before, so I asked Li Jingyao if she had sighed just now, and Li Jingyao shook her head to deny it.

It's not Li Jingyao, who is the person who sighed just now? Could it be this one lying on his stomach?
