Chapter 5: Exploration and Betrayal
After getting the monk's reply, Mo Yuan moved his gaze to Yang Fan and the others
"What do you think?"
Yang Fan was a little entangled, as soon as he entered this inexplicable place, he was killed by a classmate first, he still vividly remembered the tragic situation when the classmate died, and the shocked and resentful gaze of the Manchu man He was afraid that he could wake up in his dreams at night, which is why he couldn't wait to paste it as soon as he met the two brothers and sisters of Mo Yuan, pretending to be stupid and mixed in the team.
He is not stupid, he knows that he has a few pounds and a few taels to lead the team to analyze it is better than his own blind insecurity, but now in this environment, there is a little girl present, so many people are present, and everyone finds out how the little girl appeared in the room, well~ Although the little girl looks very cute and cute, this does not erase the fact that she appeared strangely.
And the little girl also said that her father was sleeping upstairs, let's not wake her father, although at first glance there was no problem, but at night everywhere revealed weirdness, he couldn't think too much, what if there was something wrong with her father?
He didn't believe in these things he could think of, Mo Yuan couldn't think of it, although this young man's analytical ability couldn't be said in detail along the way, he could detect that it was definitely not too bad, but it was such a person who now put forward a request to let them sit downstairs and enjoy their success and go upstairs to explore alone, Mo Yuan is such a good person? Yang Fan wasn't sure, but he felt that he couldn't do this kind of thing, and he could do something good to express his sense of justice when nothing happened in normal times, but now in this situation, he definitely couldn't do it, it was better to have more pathfinders for the dead ghost than to sit back and enjoy the burden.
Looking at Yang Fan's uncertain face, Mo Yuan felt a little surprised, in his assumption, Yang Fan should happily accept this suggestion and then lie down and wait for home, unless...
Mo Yuan's gaze gradually condensed, this Yang Fan is probably not simple, from the time he met him to the present, he has been showing himself in front of him as a teaser, but he can let Jia Ren Jia Yi and a dead classmate be the leader, and he is still united after the mysterious death of his classmate, how can his ability be a teasing B.
"Well, let's go upstairs together, and take care of each other, right?"
Seeing Mo Yuan's gradually wrong gaze, Yang Fan also understood in his heart that the image he showed at the moment was different from what he showed to everyone along the way, but now he could only gamble and believe in his guess, downstairs may not be safer than upstairs, since this is the case, it is better to be with everyone as he said it is good to have a response.
"Well, it's okay, then let's get ready to go."
Mo Yuan was a little surprised by this answer and felt a little reasonable, it seems that this Yang Fan is really not just a tease.
Everyone walked up the stairs leading to the second floor, Mo Yuan and Fa Ming walked side by side in front, behind Mo Yuan, Mo Linxue pulled the corner of his brother's clothes and slowly followed, followed by Yang Fan and Jia Ren Jia Yi.
When passing by the corner of the stairs, Mo Yuan vigilantly leaned his back against the wall and looked out to make sure that there were no accidents before walking out.
On the second floor, there is a corridor with two rooms on each side, and the wallpaper on the walls may be peeling off in many places due to poor maintenance.
Unlike downstairs, where there is still moonlight shining in from outside, you can basically see the whole picture, and there is no other light source on the second floor except for a window at the end of the corridor, Mo Yuan stopped and groped around the wall.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
Mo Linxue's little head was basically shrunk behind Mo Yuan's back and couldn't see the situation outside, only feeling that the surroundings had become darker, and suddenly felt that Mo Yuan stopped thinking that something was going on, and asked timidly.
"The lighting on the second floor is not good, and the switch of the building corridor light that is generally set up like this is usually set at the staircase intersection, and I am looking for the switch."
Mo Yuan explained to his sister without looking back, and then felt a raised button in his hand.
"There it is."
As the button was pressed, after a flash of lights in the corridor, the old fluorescent lamp embedded in the top of the corridor emitted a dim light, presumably because it had been used for too long, and the light faintly yellowed the entire corridor with a bleak and gloomy feeling.
With the light shining Mo Yuan finally saw more clearly, the corridor was indeed a little too shabby, there were cracks in several floor slabs, it is estimated that the movement would not be too small when one foot stepped on it, and there were traces of cobwebs on the top of the ceiling, it seemed that it had just been cleaned recently, but depending on the situation, the people who cleaned it were also very careless and did not clean it.
The doors of the four rooms on either side of the corridor were wide open on the left, and the two doors on the right-hand side appeared to be hidden, except for the second door on the left, which was tightly closed, and I don't know if it was locked.
"Later, my sister and Fa Ming will go in and explore the room, Yang Fan, you and your classmates are watching something outside, and if something happens, call us in time."
Mo Yuan glanced at it slightly, and he had already made up his mind.
"Okay, brother, be careful, we're here to give you a lookout."
Yang Fan's answer should be happy, he didn't know what was in the room at all, since someone wanted to explore the way, he was happy to see it.
"What kind of lookout, whether you can speak, we are like thieves."
Mo Yuan turned white, Yang Fan didn't stop for a long time, and directly took Mo Linxue into the wide open door, and Fa Ming followed closely behind him.
It's a study.
Looking at the dense stacks of books on the bookshelves around him, Mo Yuan made a judgment in his heart, in strong contrast to the old houses, these bookshelves are well maintained, and they look like they just bought, the books on the shelves are estimated to be the owners of the books who often look through them, and they do not accumulate dust, so he took out a copy and looked at "Left Turn", but he didn't expect that the owner of this house actually likes to read this kind of book, and shook his head with a smile Mo Yuan stuffed the book back.
His eyes swept over both sides of the book, Mo Yuan's movements couldn't help but stiffen, there were many types of books placed on the shelves, but they were not placed in different categories, just like there were some children's books and financial knowledge books next to the "Left Turn" in his hand now.
"The master here is really lazy."
Silently stuffing the book in, Mo Yuan muttered to himself in his heart, after all, he had made such a big study room, but he didn't sort it out, and anyone who read it would be dissatisfied.
Walking to the desk next to him, Mo Yuan tried to pull the drawer of the desk, but he couldn't open it and was locked.
"Fa Ming, will you pick the lock?"
Mo Yuan asked casually while trying various methods to open this drawer.
"The donor has nothing to do with the poor monks."
Fa Ming's face was a little dark, he was just a monk, why did a monk who recites scriptures and fasts every day open the lock?
"Oh? Wouldn't it, um~ It's a little different from the monk in my impression, forget it, let's go to another room first. ”
Mo Yuan finally gave up the struggle after trying to no avail, and decided to go to another room to see if there was a key or something.
So, what should a monk look like in your impression, do you have any misunderstandings about monks?
Fa Ming's heart roared wildly, but there was nothing unusual on his face.
As the group walked out of the room, the three people watching the wind at the door were a little surprised.
"Brother, the end... Done? Isn't it a bit fast? ”
Yang Fan stammered a little for a while, and he couldn't speak well, just now he was still thinking about what if there was really any danger to run away? Or run away? As a result, Mo Yuan and the others came out in a blink of an eye, did you just go in and take a look?
"There's a study inside, and there's some books and a desk, and the desk drawer can't be unlocked, by the way, any of you will open the lock?"
Mo Yuan didn't care, and casually asked everyone.
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, but no one jumped out and said that they would pick the lock.
"Hey, you know, forget it, let's go to another room, maybe I can find the key."
Mo Yuan was not surprised, the people present here were either monks or students, and it was normal for no one to be able to open the lock, if someone really could open the lock, then it would be worth playing.
Come to the door of the hidden door on the other side,
Mo Yuan leaned as far as he could when he pushed the door, and if anything happened, he would have a buffer time to reflect.
Luckily, there was no sudden danger behind the door, just a renovated room, empty of the walls in the truest sense of the word, with the walls repainted and the ceiling replaced.
This kind of situation is clear at a glance, Mo Yuan didn't know what to say, so he opened his body blocked at the door slightly, and motioned for everyone to take a look.
"Is this going to be a happy event? The rooms could be renovated, but why didn't the dilapidated looking corridor outside be rebuilt? ”
As soon as Yang Fan saw the situation in the room, he began to complain, after all, although the room had not been set up yet, it was still in stark contrast to the old corridor outside.
Mo Yuan was about to answer the phone to talk about his opinion, when he suddenly felt the corner of his clothes being tugged
"Brother, let's get out of here, I don't have a good feeling."
Mo Linxue's face was pale, and her little hands were tugging at the corners of Mo Yuan's clothes, looking around with a panicked expression.
"Huh? Linxue, what's wrong with you? Is it unwell? ”
Mo Yuan noticed his sister's strange appearance, and hurriedly asked, and at the same time covered Mo Linxue's forehead with his hand and probed the temperature.
Mo Linxue was about to speak, when suddenly Fa Ming's voice came from the side
"Donor, the poor monk also thinks that there is something wrong here, so it is better to leave quickly."
Mo Yuan was stunned, just Mo Linxue's words could he understand that the little girl was timid, or some girl's sixth sense was troublesome or something, but how could this monk come out and intervene, is there really a problem here?
Looking at the situation around him at a glance, Mo Yuan didn't understand what could be wrong, but he nodded cautiously and exited the room, and when he closed the door again, Mo Linxue's pale face eased slightly.
"Linxue, Fa Ming, tell me what the situation is."
Mo Yuan confirmed that Mo Linxue was fine, but after being a little frightened, he asked about the situation just now.
"Brother, I... I don't know what's going on, but as soon as I enter that room, I feel uncomfortable, and I always feel... It always feels like I'm being targeted by something."
Mo Linxue's face was still a little pale, and she recalled the uncomfortable feeling just now, and it became even whiter, and the distressed Mo Yuan hugged her into his arms and patted her back with his hand to give her a smooth breath.
The poor monk felt the strong sinister aura in that room, so he reminded him.
Seeing everyone's strange gazes, Fa Ming added
"The poor monk has been a monk since he was a child, and he studied Buddhism with his master, and he has a special physique, so he has a clear feeling for such things."
After speaking, regardless of whether everyone believed it or not, Fa Ming closed his eyes and recuperated himself.
Mo Yuan glanced at Fa Ming with some suspicion, is there really anyone in this world who can feel the evil thing? Or is there really something evil in this world?
Feeling that his sleeve was pulled by his sister, Mo Yuan didn't care about Fa Ming's words, and hurriedly looked down.
I saw that Mo Lin's face was pale, and his voice was soft as if he had no strength, and he put his ear to Mo Linxue's mouth to hear Mo Yuan clearly
"Brother, if you want to do something, it's better to do it now, I feel that the bad feeling around me is getting stronger and stronger, just... It's like... There are some beasts waiting to hunt in the dark. ”
Mo Yuan couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart when he looked at his sister like this, he had felt sorry for his sister since she was a child, when did she ever make her so uncomfortable.
"It's okay, don't be afraid, brother is here, brother won't let you have anything to do."
"Yang Fan! You can help me take care of Linxue first. ”
Carefully handing over his sister to Yang Fan and them, Mo Yuan said lightly to Fa Ming
"Let's go, let's go to the next room."
"Amitabha."
Fa Ming pronounced a Buddha horn, and followed with a calm face.
Watching the figures of Mo Yuan and Fa Ming enter the room, Yang Fan looked at Mo Linxue, who was handed over to him by Mo Yuan, his eyes kept changing, and finally he didn't know what he had figured out, he gritted his teeth fiercely, and let Mo Linxue sit down slowly with his back against the wall.
Turning around and facing Mo Linxue with his back, he gave the two brothers Jia Ren and Jia Yi a look, and when they got closer, they started talking.
"What time is it?"
Jia Ren took out a cracked watch from his pocket, looked at it, and replied softly
"It's 11:51, what should Brother Yang do now? Do you want to tell Mo Yuan that they have a question about this mission..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Yang Fan interrupt him with a wave of his hand.
"Have you forgotten how your eldest brother died? They don't seem to have a problem, but we can't afford to be careless, especially if we have this. ”
While speaking, Yang Fan took out a piece of bloodstained yellow paper from the inner pocket of his clothes, only to see that it was written, "Enter the third room on the third floor before 12 o'clock, and light a candle on the third table, the candle will not be extinguished." ”
"If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid the candles here need matches from Jia Yi to light them."
Jia Yi nodded in agreement with Yang Fan's statement, Jia Ren kept looking at his watch and said anxiously
"It's okay, I'm running out of time, Brother Yang, hurry up and make a decision."
Yang Fan still wanted to say something, but the handwriting on the yellow paper in his hand disappeared, and mysterious symbols began to emerge, and began to burn.
"Damn! Let's go, if you don't go, you won't have time! ”
As he spoke, he threw the burning yellow paper in his hand and took his classmates down the stairs to the third floor.
The yellow paper abandoned by Yang Fan swayed in mid-air and floated to Mo Lin's window.
Although Mo Linxue was uncomfortable, not only was her hearing not impaired, but it was better than usual, she heard Yang Fan's conversation throughout the whole process, but she really didn't have the strength to say anything.
As the yellow paper fell to her, she could see through her blurred vision that there seemed to be a trace of black thread coming out of her body...
"Alright, there's no point in staying here any longer, since the owner here wants us in, let's not let the master wait too long, this is not hospitality."
Jia Ren stood up, rubbed his hands and shook off the purple-black powder that had been left on his hands to the ground, and walked towards the room that glowed with a bleak light.
Yang Fan looked at it with a toothache in the spot, this thing usually looks loyal and honest, and he is really fearless when he goes crazy...
But it's okay that if there is a person who is not afraid of death rushing forward to explore the way, his safety factor will be relatively much higher.
Turning his head sideways and looking at Jia Yi, who was slumped on the ground and shivering, Yang Fan let out a long breath, although Jia Ren's state made him a little uneasy, but at least it was better than having two more burdens.
After thinking about it, although the situation is unclear now, if you accidentally take your life, after all, after so many years, your classmates have been shouting at themselves behind you, and you can't just leave him like this.
What's more, although Jia Ren looks indifferent to his brother now, if he really leaves his brother behind, he may have to turn his face with him on the spot, and it is better to have multiple friends than infighting in this situation.
Yang Fan, who figured it out in a blink of an eye, came to Jia Yi's side, stretched out his hand, and looked at Jia Yi with a kind face
"Can you still go? Come, I'll hold you up. ”
Jia Yi looked at his brother's back in a daze, and was suddenly awakened by this shout, looking at the smiling face in front of him, Jia Yi's mood calmed down inexplicably.
"Brother..."
"It's okay, your brother will be fine, and we'll be okay too, trust me."
Looking at Yang Fan's confident look, the haze in Jia Yi's heart seemed to be dispelled a little, and he took Yang Fan's hand that stretched out to support him and stood up from the ground with strength.
"My brother and I..."
"Shhhh Let's go out and tell me about it when we're all alive. ”
Saying that, Yang Fan also blinked mischievously, which suddenly made Jia Yi, who was originally planning to start a heavy topic, speechless for a while, and then nodded fiercely.
"Well, let's meet the owner of this house."
…
