Chapter 28: Liu's Villa (12)
"Song Ran Dead ......"
The young man named Liu Shijun sat on the ground with a pale face, still holding a white candle in his hand, on which the spark was dim, and it could be seen that it had just been extinguished.
Originally, according to the assignment, he should have acted with the girl named Song Ran, but after the female ghost with no eyes appeared, where could he still take care of this, and just ran away by himself.
At this time, hearing the news of Song Ran's death, Liu Shijun only felt that he was in a catastrophe, and his eyes were also frightened when he looked around, as if something could come out of anywhere.
"The female ghost...... I should be chasing her......"
Liu Shijun stood up tremblingly, took out a box of flattened matches from his pocket, took one out of it, and lit the candle in his hand.
The dim light shone all around, and the expansion of his vision made the boy's heart settle down a lot.
"I don't know where the two of them are......"
He looked around with a candle in his hand, but didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.
Not long ago, after some discussion, Luo Fei, one of the four, first proposed the idea of splitting up and gave his own reasons. And there was no objection to his statement, so it was also scattered among the villas.
According to Luo Fei's thinking, if you want to successfully spend those nine days, you must find out what happened in this mountain villa back then, so as to find clues to escape.
Because judging by the content described in the prompt, the ghosts in this mountain villa are "invincible", then they must not just sit back and wait to die, otherwise it is no different from sending them to death.
It's just that they couldn't have imagined that someone would be killed by ghosts so soon.
"What kind of bullshit acts separately, this is clearly looking for death separately......"
The long silence made Liu Shijun feel a strong sense of unease, and he felt even more annoyed when he thought that what happened to him was precisely because of the idea proposed by the bespectacled young man.
It's a good way to use anger to distract fear, and now, for example, Liu Shijun's fear has been diluted a lot.
Most of the houses in this Liu's Villa were empty and dilapidated rooms, and there were few useful objects, even the candles and matches were found by Luo Fei from a box when he first entered the villa.
Although he always had to worry that a bloody female ghost would come out of an unknown corner, Liu Shijun did not forget the task of exploring the villa, so he did not let go of any room, and when he saw a door, he would come forward and open it.
And this most secure way of searching really made Liu Shijun discover something special.
[Broken Dao Bell - A bell that has lost most of its mana and makes a sound when a ghost approaches]
The copper bell, which was sunken in many places, was covered by a pile of debris, and if it weren't for the candlelight reflected on it, Liu Shijun would have really missed it.
Picking up this bell, Liu Shijun quickly understood the role of the bell, and his face couldn't help but show an ecstatic look:
"And this kind of good stuff? Wouldn't Iβ"
Bell~~~
A bell interrupted Liu Shijun's joy.
Seeing that the bell in his hand suddenly shook by itself, Liu Shijun was stunned for a moment, and then understood the meaning of the bell.
"Ghosts?!"
Liu Shijun turned around in a terrified manner, and he didn't even feel the candle wax in his hand dripping on his skin, only feeling a panic hanging around.
With the rotation of the direction, the uneven copper bell also made the clearest bell when it turned to a certain angle, which seemed to remind Liu Shijun of the location of something.
The young man was agitated, and he hurriedly rushed out of the door and ran in the opposite direction.
At this time, even a fool will not go to the place where the ringing is bigger.
The bell in his hand kept shaking, and the approaching bell made Liu Shijun feel that the danger was approaching behind him, and he didn't even dare to turn his head back, just ran with his head bored.
"Hurry up...... A little faster......"
The bell gradually increased, and Liu Shijun's legs began to ache. The previous run had already consumed too much physical strength, and the interior of the manor was extremely complicated, resulting in a serious lack of physical strength.
Seeing a turn in the road ahead, Liu Shijun rushed over without thinking about it, but he didn't expect to collide with someone directly.
"Ahh
"Yikes!"
These two screams came from Liu Shijun and Luo Fei respectively.
Seeing clearly who the person in front of him was, Liu Shijun didn't give Luo Fei time to ask questions at all, he just got up quickly and continued to run forward for a moment.
"There's a ghost in the back!"
Before Luo Fei, who was rubbing his head, could react, he heard Liu Shijun's shout.
The words that were about to blurt out were directly swallowed by Luo Fei, because he also saw the shadow that was chasing from afar-except that it had no eyes and its teeth were a little sharp.
Liu Shijun, who was running away, only felt a burst of force coming from behind him, but when he turned around, he saw Luo Fei, who was following him, trying to drag him to stop.
"Are you sick?!"
Liu Shijun's heart was on fire, and he didn't know why the young man in front of him wanted to stop him from escaping.
Luo Fei didn't bother to explain, so he just threw down a few words:
"Come here if you don't want to die!"
Subsequently, regardless of whether Liu Shijun followed or not, Luo Fei directly turned into another path.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Pushing open the door of the firewood room, Tang Juyi also looked at the gap in the top of the firewood room, until he was sure that the man in black had indeed left, and then he stepped in boldly and confidently.
"Is he gone?"
Han Jue followed behind Tang Juyi and probed his brain into the firewood room.
Tang Juyi looked at Han Jue who was shrinking behind him a little speechlessly:
"Miss Han, if you're afraid......"
Han Jue is very sensitive:
"I'm not afraid! I'm just cautious! β
While saying this, she was still obediently hiding behind Tang Juyi.
Shaking his head, Tang Juyi also continued to walk forward.
Coming to the position where the man in black was originally standing, Tang Juyi raised his head again and looked at the gap in the roof of the shed, as well as several obvious footprints on the beams:
"He's a master, this skill is quite flexible......"
Then, Tang Juyi also moved his gaze to the firewood piled up into a hill in front of him:
"So the question isβwhat is he looking for?"
In order to avoid preconceived thinking mistakes, Tang Juyi did not limit the search area to just that pile of firewood, but started from all corners of the firewood room and explored from the outside to the interior.
Han Jue looked at Tang Juyi's posture as if he wanted to lick the floor, and he was also a little uneasy:
"That...... We rummaged in people's firewood houses like this...... Not quite right? Why don't you wait for the people of the Liu family to come......"
Tang Juyi patted the ash on his hands, and also responded while rummaging through the sundries in the firewood room:
"Do you think it's worth it for someone to sneak in like that and look for something ordinary?"
Han Jue was stunned:
"Uh...... Probably not, right? β
Tang Juyi said "um":
"Do you think that kind of thing would be put in the firewood room in general?"
"No, it won't."
"Guess what, when the people of the Liu family come, and you ask them what that thing is, will they tell you?"
ββ¦β¦ No. β
"Do you want to know?"
"Yes."
"Then honestly look for it with me, and it's not too late for you to put it back in place when you find it, isn't it?"
After being asked a brainwashing question by Tang Juyi in a natural tone, Han Jue also felt that it seemed to be such a reason, although he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it.
Standing aside and watching Tang Juyi rummage around, Han Jue only felt that it didn't seem good for him to stand and watch, but it was not very appropriate to join it, so he could only wander between Tang Juyi and the gate of the firewood house in a cramped manner, worried about whether there would be any descendants of the Liu family passing by.
It didn't take long for Tang Juyi, who was covered in dust, to dig out a small object from the pile of firewood, and after simply wiping it, this exquisite object also revealed its true face.
"I think I know what that guy is looking for......"
Tang Juyi put the jade bracelet in his hand in front of him, and he also let out an exclamation:
"Things are getting more and more interesting......
[Blood-stained jade bracelet (a ghost resentment thing) - it was originally the jewelry of the maid Qin'er, but for some reason it was stained with the blood of more than one person]
