Chapter 15: The Attic
After finding an umbrella from the housekeeper's room, Qin Ming then went down to the first floor, intending to go out and dispose of the housekeeper's body. Otherwise, if you throw it outside like now, it will really be a little conspicuous.
Like An Zili, he was not worried if he came over, mainly because he was afraid that the other victims would be scared away by the butler's corpse.
Coming out of the western-style building with an umbrella, Qin Ming was looking around for tools that could bury people while holding on to the umbrella tightly. But things like shovels are usually in the warehouse, but the problem is that he doesn't know where the warehouse is.
Is it in a corner of the manor, or is there a basement or something like that?
Because he didn't know where the tools were, Qin Ming had no choice but to go back to the second floor and pull out a sheet from a bedroom. When he came out again, he re-wrapped the charred corpse of the butler with a sheet, and then dragged it and threw it in the middle of the tall weeds.
And just as he was about to withdraw and go back, he heard a series of "bang-la-la" sounds suddenly coming from the weeds behind him. When he heard the strange noise, he hurriedly turned his head to look, and then he saw a hair-stained face sticking out of the grass.
It's the crazy woman I didn't see before.
"What are you doing?"
The madwoman's face was still as before, obscured by her wet hair, and only a mouth could be seen moving when she spoke.
Qin Ming didn't expect this crazy woman to be here, in other words, she should have also seen him leave the butler's body here.
Without saying anything, Qin Ming kept staring at the crazy woman, pondering a solution in his heart. But for now, he actually can't grasp the identity of this woman, after all, in such a dangerous place, this madman can still run around and have fun by himself, which is a bit illogical in itself, because sneaky doesn't care if you are a normal person or a madman.
But then again, sneaking a madman here may also be specifically designed to disrupt the situation, after all, from the perspective of thinking and behavior, madmen are just as unpredictable as sneaky.
No one can say what is going on in her head and what she will do in the next second.
After weighing it in his heart, Qin Ming still felt that it was better to first deal with this madman's well water and not violate the river water, so as not to cause any more trouble. So, after giving the madman a warning look, he turned and left.
Returning to the second floor of the western-style building, Qin Ming found a room with a window where he could see the grass over there, and then observed the grass over there. But he didn't know if it was because the weeds were too high, or if the madwoman was gone, and he didn't see her again.
Raising his wrist and glancing at the time, time had only passed for two hours.
Although it was only 3 o'clock in the afternoon, it was dark outside, and it looked like 3 o'clock in the morning, and I don't know how long the rain would last.
He looked out the window for a while, and suddenly there was a series of "dong dong" sounds outside the door, and he glanced at the door a little strangely, and then walked cautiously.
"Anyone?"
Qin Ming asked tentatively, and in the process, the door panel was still trembling.
"What's it this time?"
Qin Ming didn't open the door, and let the "things" outside knock, but it didn't take long for the outside to be quiet again, and then a series of footsteps running away sounded.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Qin Ming carefully pushed the door open, and then poked his head out to look towards the corridor, and saw that the crazy woman was running towards the staircase, while looking back at him.
"What the hell is this madman trying to do? Tease me? ”
Although I have reminded myself in my heart that as a normal person, I must not be like a madman, but I have to say that this female madman is really a little underwhelmed.
The female madman quickly disappeared, knowing that it was the madman and not some kind of ghost, Qin Ming was also relieved, and he didn't continue to stay in the room after that, planning to go upstairs to have a look.
Because he hadn't seen the attic at the top, he always felt a little uneasy not to see all the bungalows after what had just happened.
Walking down the circular staircase all the way to the door of the attic, Qin Ming grabbed the doorknob and pulled the door lock down with a slam force.
The door opened smoothly, and there was a musty smell and a lot of dust in it, but it was as the butler had said before, and no one had come in for a long time.
Qin Ming opened the door and let out the smell inside, and only after the dust was re-spread on the ground did he cautiously walk in.
Although it is an attic, the area is not small at all, but the height of the interior is different, some places are spacious, and some places can only be bent over.
A cursory glance revealed that there were many dusty oil paintings scattered on the floor. Some of the brushes were also left in one place and the other in the west, and they were thrown everywhere.
Qin Ming then picked up an oil painting from the ground, and after blowing away the dust on it, a very bloody picture was revealed.
The content of the picture is a disemboweled chest, which vividly shows all the organs in the chest.
Qin Ming looked at the blood in the painting, and his heart was also ready to move, giving birth to a very desire to kill, which also frightened him and hurriedly threw the portrait on the ground.
"It's so wicked."
Qin Ming touched his violently undulating chest, and felt that there seemed to be a hidden force in these portraits that could affect people, as long as he focused too much on it, his mood would be greatly affected.
Continuing to go deeper into the attic, Qin Ming had to squat down a little, and then walk forward a little slowly. However, in this area, there are no longer those portraits, but there are many more scary puppets.
Compared to the puppets in the activity room on the fifth floor, the puppets in the attic are more delicately made, and each one is colored, and the appearance is similar.
The image is like Dumb in Crayon Shinri, except that the eyes are larger and rounder than Dumb, and the teeth that emerge from the mouth are also sharp and jagged, and he wears a hat.
One by one, the puppets were either sitting on the ground or lying on the ground, but what was more frightening was that their heads were all facing one direction, that is, the door where Qin Ming walked all the way.
So this also gave Qin Ming a kind of thing, these puppets turned their heads in unison after hearing his footsteps coming in.
In addition to the puppets, he also found a toolbox, which was full of some tools for making puppets, and when he turned to the bottom, Qin Ming also found a photo.
The photo is a group photo of many people, although the photo is a little worn, Qin Ming still recognized the location of the group photo, which should be in front of the gate of the western-style building.
As for who the group photo was, first, many people's faces were blurred, and secondly, there were several clear people, and he had never seen them at all. But judging by the clothes, it looks like some people who used to work at this manor.
The person standing in the middle was a tall old man in a gray coat. Next to him was the butler.
Qin Ming suspected that this old man in a gray coat might be his legendary third uncle.
didn't see anything from the photo, Qin Ming then put the photo in the toolbox again, and continued to squat down and walk inside.
At the same time, a "creaking" sound of the door also came from behind him.
