Chapter 5: The Ceremonial Stage
"Ah......h The production of this doll is very realistic, especially the eyes, as if it were real, which makes Liu Qingfeng feel familiar for no reason. Ye Hong, on the other hand, squatted down and picked out a match from a pile of debris. He opened the matchbox in his hand, the color of this match was lighter than the color of the box of matches he was holding, obviously not the same wood, why was there a match here? Was it originally scattered on the ground, or was it left in the doll because it shattered? Ye Hong's doubts could not be solved for a while, so he no longer wasted time thinking about it, but put the match into the matchbox in his hand.
"The windows here are mostly glass, but they're all sealed." Ye Hong glanced at the window and spoke.
They didn't see anyone coming down when they went upstairs just now, and they didn't hear the door open, so it couldn't have been man-made.
"Don't you think it's strange? The place where this doll fell is centered, with walls on both sides, separated by a long distance, and the window next to it has no windowsill and the edge of the bed is far away, so where was this doll originally placed? What does space want to tell us? Seeing that Liu Qingfeng didn't speak, Ye Hong continued to speak.
"Could it be...... Want to lure us away from the room we just had? Liu Qingfeng was silent for a while and spoke his thoughts.
"Quite possibly." Ye Hong saw that Liu Qingfeng wanted to go downstairs to find out, so he hurriedly stopped him, "If it is really to lure us away, then the other party's purpose should have been achieved, and if you go down now, it won't change anything, so it's better to check the other rooms on this floor first." ”
"It's fine." Liu Qingfeng glanced at the wardrobe with reluctance and followed Ye Hong out of the door.
At the end of the corridor, that is, the one next to the bedroom is the bathroom, which obviously does not have modern facilities in this era, only a large wooden basin that is obviously a bathtub and a toilet pit, and there is a rough mirror on the wall, and the reflection of the figure is blurry, although the toilet is always regarded as the most evil place in horror novels, the two still feel that there is not much to investigate, so they left this room.
Opening the door next to the study, Ye Hong was startled, inside was a small pulpit, a huge cross hung on the wall behind it, a round candlestick hanging from the ceiling, a circle of white candles on it, four small braziers hung on the walls on both sides, and a bright red carpet on the ground, probably because there was no window in this room, no light came in, just relying on the candles and braziers, in addition to solemnity, there was also a trace of weirdness.
"Add a few more bar chairs and you'll be a miniature church......" Liu Qingfeng couldn't help but sigh.
"Would an ordinary pastor set up these things in his home?" Ye Hong thought more deeply than Liu Qingfeng, and he faintly felt that something was wrong here.
"It's a bit weird to be here." Liu Qingfeng looked thoughtfully at the brazier burning on the wall, "It's like some ritual is going to be completed here." ”
"Could it be ......" Ye Hong reflexively thought of the underworld marriage ceremony, "Having said that, we haven't analyzed this task well. For example, what are the specific steps of a ghost marriage? Who is the protagonist of the Secret Marriage? Where is it now? Will one side be alive, or will both be alive? If so, do we need to do something less good to move the task forward? And will the parents of both parties have the right to stop it? How many ghosts are there here? Under what conditions might we be ......"
"Bang bang-" Ye Hong was interrupted by a loud knock on the door, which was particularly abrupt in the quiet environment.
Without waiting for Ye Hong and Liu Qingfeng to react next, the door had already been opened.
There was a middle-aged man standing at the door, about the same height as Ye Hong, dressed formally, with the style of an old gentleman, under Ye Hong's gaze, he bowed slightly, "Mr. Lange, I have agreed to go to the Fila Church according to your wishes, and agreed to go to the Fila Church in a week." ”
"Okay, thank you." Ye Hong smiled and watched as the middle-aged man closed the door, waiting for the footsteps to go away before speaking, "The knock on the door just now was very strange, like banging on the door...... And he didn't seem surprised that we were in this room, and he opened the door directly after knocking, as if knocking on the door was just a formality to announce it......"
"There's surveillance in there?" Liu Qingfeng asked in surprise.
"Nope. This era doesn't look like such a high-tech product. This man should be the owner of that single room, he may ......" Ye Hong didn't say any more, but even then Liu Qingfeng understood what he meant.
"So what do we do next?"
"Let's go next door and find out everything about this house." Ye Hong was also confused, everything in the weird space was like a fog, and it was not easy to get rid of it.
"Hmm." Liu Qingfeng nodded, and couldn't wait to get out of this room, which always gave him an extremely depressed feeling, as if there was something else watching him, but I hope it was just his own illusion. Liu Qingfeng took a few deep breaths, trying to calm the impetuousness in his heart for no reason. At the same time, he opened the door to the room at the top of the staircase.
A black coffin sits in the middle of the door......
