Chapter 58: The Ancestral Hall
"Not really... Just some new clues. ”
Ye Mingzhe looked left and right, and then quietly leaned into Lu Zhidie's ear and said, "I suspect that the murderer who killed Grandma is Yu Junli. ”
"Ahh
"Shhh
"Yes... I'm sorry..."
"It's okay, I'm actually quite surprised, but this is just my guess at the moment, and I still need evidence to support it, so I plan to go to Grandma's house again."
"I'll go with Brother Zhe, after all... Grandma was probably killed because of me. ”
"Good!"
...
"In fact, if Yu Junli is the murderer, the reason why he won't kill you can be found, after all, we all came from the fog to complete the task, maybe there are rules that can't harm our companions, but we are all newcomers, and many rules are not clear." Ye Mingzhe said as he walked.
"Is that so?" Lu Zhidie looked dazed.
Ye Mingzhe continued: "But if Yu Junli is the murderer, then the reason why he killed his grandmother has become a mystery, and now that he is dead, I am afraid that this motive is difficult to find." ”
"It's all because of me..."
"Actually, it doesn't have to be that the murderer killed Grandma when he found out that you were talking, it may be that Grandma touched the murderer's interests and was killed, maybe it's just a coincidence."
In fact, there is another possibility that Ye Mingzhe did not say, that is, the murderer may have an additional task like him.
For example, the task of killing Grandma.
But if this speculation is true, then he is even less likely to say it.
Because that means that the other four people have 'extra tasks'.
'If there's an extra quest to kill your companions...'
Ye Mingzhe now has to become more cautious as well.
Including against Lu Zhidie.
Although she seems harmless to humans and animals.
It seems pitiful, weak, and helpless.
But assuming it's all her disguise...
Ye Mingzhe couldn't think about it anymore.
Because it's so scary...
Ye Mingzhe's back couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
But now he had to do it, because the unknown is the most terrifying!
"Brother Zhe? What happened to you? Sensing Ye Mingzhe's abnormality, Lu Zhidie asked with concern.
"Nothing? I think I sleepwalked on the ground last night and caught a cold. ”
"I didn't expect Brother Zhe to have this quirk." Lu Zhidie covered her mouth and snickered.
It didn't take long for the two to come to Grandma's residence.
Walking into the bedroom, Grandma's body was gone!
'Did the villagers take it?' If that's the case, how could they not react at all, and just deal with it secretly. Ye Mingzhe was very puzzled.
It's a human life!
"Brother Zhe, did you dispose of Grandma's body?"
Seeing the blood stains on the ground, Lu Zhidie was a little scared.
"I didn't deal with it, I think it should be done by the villagers."
"Let's look around and see if we can find some clues."
The two of them looked around in Grandma's house...
"Brother Zhe! Come here! I found something! ”
Ye Mingzhe hurried over when he heard this.
"Brother Zhe! What do you see this is? ”
Lu Zhidie held a round object in her hand.
It turned out to be a rivet.
"I remember Yu Junli had this thing on his pants, it looks like he really came here before."
"Is Grandma really killed by Brother Li? I still can't believe it..."
"Don't be sad, there will always be a day when things will come to light, and the search is almost done, let's go."
The two did not go back to the inn, but walked around the outskirts of the village, and before they knew it, they had come to the vicinity of the village chief's house.
The entrance to the back mountain was guarded by only one villager at this time.
Ye Mingzhe had an idea and said to Lu Zhidie: "I want to go to the ancestral hall to investigate, can you help me lure that villager away?" ”
"Huh?! I... I'm afraid I won't be able to do it well..."
"It's okay! I'll tell you how. ”
...
Lu Zhidie limped at the entrance of the back mountain.
"Hey! What are you doing here? Outsiders don't get to the back mountain during the non-sacrificial period, so go quickly! The guarding villager scolded.
"Brother... I... I'm lost! I broke my foot again, can you take me back to the inn! Lu Zhidie looked pitiful.
"No! I'm standing guard! I'm gone, and there's no one here. You'd better go back on your own. ”
"But my feet hurt so much, I really can't walk, why don't you ask someone to send me back?"
"This..."
Lu Zhidie looked at him like this with a pair of big watery eyes, which was really pitiful.
"Alright! You wait here, I'll call someone! Don't run around! ”
"Thank you, brother! My feet hurt so much that I couldn't walk, so I couldn't run around. ”
"It's also... Then you wait, I'll be back soon! ”
After the villagers left, Ye Mingzhe quietly ran out from the side, he gave Lu Zhidie a thumbs up and walked in the direction of the ancestral hall.
Be cautious along the way and find no one else.
Soon, Ye Mingzhe came to the outside of the ancestral hall.
The door just closed and wasn't locked.
Ye Mingzhe walked in cautiously and returned the door to its original state.
'What a big statue! ’
The first thing that catches your eye is a statue that is more than two meters high.
The statue is in a standing position, and it is impossible to distinguish between men and women.
The face is long, pointed, like a mouse.
The hands are also very elongated, and even the long claws and the fluff on the hands are lifelike.
The statue holds a silver blade in both hands, like a dagger, but the shape is somewhat peculiar.
The blade of the knife is like a crescent moon, and the edge of the knife is densely packed with fine serrations, like the sharp teeth of an animal.
"Get it and I'll be able to complete a hidden mission!"
Ye Mingzhe's eyes were full of eagerness.
"No! Now is not the time! ”
He resisted the urge to take it and began to take a closer look at his surroundings.
On the incense table behind the statue, there are all spirit cards, and names are written on the spirit cards.
But these spirit cards are very strange.
"Isn't this an ancestral hall dedicated to our ancestors? Why is there no surname Ji on the spirit card? ”
Not only that, but almost every spirit card has a different surname on it.
Ye Mingzhe counted, there were a total of 86 spirit cards, but there were 59 different surnames.
And most of these names appear to be women's names.
Who are these people enshrined here?' ’
Ye Mingzhe also saw a familiar name on a very old spirit card.
Tang Min!
'Could it be Tang Min mentioned in the hidden mission?' ’
Ye Mingzhe couldn't help but recall the obsession last night.
'Ancestral Hall... Ancestral temple... Eating sugar?! ’
"She wants to prompt me to come to the ancestral hall? But why didn't she speak? ”
When I was live streaming in the horror school before, all those obsessions could speak.
Ye Mingzhe searched around the ancestral hall a few times, but there was nothing strange except for the spirit tablets and statues.
He searched around for any secret passages or something.
"Bang!"
Ye Mingzhe was overjoyed!
The floor tiles under the incense case turned out to be hollow inside!
