Chapter 7: Miserable
In the dark, Tang Yihuang turned his head to look at Tang Yichuan, the strong smell of blood made him feel uncomfortable, and also made him feel a little inexplicably flustered.
"Do you feel it?" Tang Yichuan felt it carefully, it was a very clear smell of blood, and it was very strong, very fresh, as if it had just been put down from a person's body, it seemed to be still steaming, and smelling the smell of blood, Tang Yichuan felt that he had an inexplicable feeling of excitement, he couldn't tell what it felt, it was like killing the enemy on the battlefield, killing his eyes red, and his blood boiled when he saw blood.
Tang Yihuang nodded indifferently, and it took a while before he got up from the bed, put on his clothes, grabbed the exorcist wand beside the bed, and walked out of the door with Tang Yichuan.
At the moment when they opened the door, people from the rest of the rooms also came out one after another, Nalan Ning was the first to come out, she was already walking towards the stairs alone, her steps were very light, she walked as if there was no sound, after feeling that someone behind her opened the door, Nalan Ning glanced back and saw Tang Yichuan and several people coming out, so she stopped.
"Someone died." Nalan Ning waited until Tang Yichuan came to his front, and still said in a calm voice. Nalan Ning's cousin is always like a long-time old man in the twilight, who seems to have experienced everything, so no matter what happens, she will already be unfazed. Nalan Ning's kind of calmness is not strong and calm, but there are no ups and downs in the real eyes, and there is only an excessive calm in a pair of bright eyes, like snow in winter, peaceful.
Tang Yichuan was shocked, someone died, what is the situation, how could someone die!
Dead as soon as they come?
A door next to it opened, and the cat came out of the house, stretched and said, "I knew you would come out, so just take it as if there was nothing to do, and go back to sleep, and tomorrow you will be back to its original state." β
"What do you mean?" Tang Yichuan looked at the black cat inexplicably.
"It's just that you don't want to meddle in things, it doesn't make much sense to manage, the damned will always die." The black cat yawned, looked at Tang Yichuan lazily, and glanced at the few people behind him.
Nalan Ning didn't wait for the black cat to finish speaking, he had already gone down the stairs, Tang Yichuan didn't pay attention to the black cat's meaning, and followed behind Nalan Ning, he had already smelled such a strong smell of blood, he couldn't wait until the next morning as if nothing had happened.
The rest of the people also followed, and Shangguan Linglan said when he walked past the black cat: "Maybe there will be something to discover, haven't you thought about it?" β
The black cat was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought that he never seemed to have gone down at this time, that is, maybe he really ignored something! This time, the black cat quickly caught up with Tang Yichuan and Nalan Ning like a gust of wind, and followed them downstairs.
Tang Yichuan and Nalan Ning were the fastest to reach the room where the smell of blood came, and when they stood outside the door, Nalan Ning directly reached out and grabbed the doorknob, and opened the door without hesitation.
The scene after the door opened, Tang Yichuan and Nalan Ning were stunned, this was the owner's room, the male owner and the hostess, the gentle lady was lying on the bed, the other was lying on the ground, her body was pierced by a knife with countless holes, blood was constantly flowing out of her body, and their bodies were pierced by the knife, as if they were a torn puppet.
The only thing that the man and woman were intact was the face, and there were no wounds on the face, so Tang Yichuan could recognize these two people at a glance, but the necks of the two were pieced, and their bodies were covered with knife eyes, and the death was extremely inhumane.
Nalan Ning, a fifteen-year-old girl, still had no change in her face, calmly as if she was a person who had lost her feelings, she just squatted down and looked at the two of them, and then spit out two words faintly, "Dead." β
After saying that, Nalan Ning stood up again, turned around and walked outside.
Tang Yichuan looked at the corpse on the ground in shock, the woman was obviously killed in her sleep, the man should have woken up and crawled to the ground, but he still couldn't get rid of the fate of death, and finally died tragically on the ground.
didn't have time to think about why this happened, Tang Yichuan saw Nalan Ning leave, and knew that there might be something wrong, so he followed Nalan Ning and quickly chased after him.
Nalan Ning stopped at the door of a room again, she stretched out her hand to open the door of the room, and there were two dead people, the man's brother and daughter-in-law died, the same way of death, rolling her eyes, and the death was tragic.
Finally, Tang Yichuan looked at the black cat, "You knew it would be like this?" β
The black cat shrugged and said with a look of course: "I have been in this painting for so many years, how could I not know." β
"How did they die?" Tang Yichuan narrowed his eyes.
"How do I know?" The black cat said, "I advise you not to meddle in your affairs, this is just a painting, everything in it is fake, no matter how nervous you are, it is fake." β
Tang Yichuan was stunned for a moment, the world in the painting was indeed fake, no matter how realistic the qiΔ was when they came in, maybe it was just conjured up with spells, and they really didn't need to take it seriously.
Just looking at the tragic death of these people, Tang Yichuan still had a very uncomfortable feeling in his heart.
Shangguan Linglan glanced at the corpse a few times and suddenly said, "I remember, this painting describes what happened back then!" Yes, that's it! β
"How?" Tang Yichuan looked at Shangguan Linglan suspiciously.
"yes, I remembered, too!" The fat man was startled and said, "The murderous house I talked about before, this is one of the murderous mansions, I remember that this murderous mansion came into everyone's eyes because of one thing." It seems to be this thing that we encountered today. I heard that it took a long time to investigate, but in the end, it was not found out how the people here died. The entire murderous house, with more than a dozen people up and down, all died overnight, and the death was tragicβthis is the scene now, I have heard people mention it! After that, once someone enters the murderous mansion, they will never be able to get out, and they will keep repeating what happened back then! This painting is almost like simulating this qiΔ thing back then! β
"So it's true, but it already happened, and many years ago?" Tang Yichuan suddenly realized.
"Yes, the fat man is right." Shangguan Linglan nodded and said, "No wonder I felt that this place was very familiar from the moment I came in, my research institute had studied things about the murderous mansion, and I had also seen a few photos at that time, it was like this!" β
Tang Yichuan pondered for a moment, if this is the case, then what was the purpose of the person who painted this painting back then, and why did he reproduce the scene in it? Is there some secret in this, and if they solve the mystery, they can get what they want?
The black cat said that these are inconsequential things, and the most important thing for them is to find clues, and when they find clues, they can go to the ancient tomb and look for the ghost order.
Shangguan Linglan said that she had a similar opinion to Tang Yichuan, and Shangguan Linglan said: "Cat demon, have you ever thought that the reason why you haven't found clues is because you have ignored some things, maybe it is because of these things that you have ignored, so why can't you find the so-called clues?" If the clue is really in this painting, do you think what happened in this painting really doesn't matter? If it doesn't matter, why draw this picture, why hide the clues in it? β
The black cat was a little headache by Shangguan Linglan's words, but the black cat, who has always been a little conceited, still said in a firm tone: "How is it possible!" β
"How could it not be? If you were to build this painting and hope that future generations would find clues in the tomb, do you think you would not give any hints? There may be some hints, but we just haven't found them yet. Shangguan Linglan said, "Since such a death happened, if this painting happened to be this night, maybe the clue is related to him." β
Tang Yichuan and the others all nodded in agreement, feeling that what Shangguan Linglan said was very reasonable.
Nalan Ning couldn't wait for Shangguan Linglan to say anything more, she ran forward quickly, and said as she ran: "There are still people who are not dead, some people are leaving!" β
"Chase!" The bearded man had already rushed behind Nalan Ning and quickly chased after him, and Tang Yichuan and the others didn't care about the dead people, and followed Nalan Ning and ran wildly.
The black cat just hesitated, but soon chased after her, running downstairs from the second floor, Nalan Ning rushed directly outside, it was raining heavily, and when she rushed into the rain, Nalan Ning stopped, and the heavy rain dispersed the breath she could feel, and she had no clue, "It's gone." β
"Do you feel someone?" Tang Yichuan hurriedly asked.
Nalan Ning shook her head, "I can't feel it." β
"You go into the house, I'll take a look." Tang Yichuan turned around and said to a few people, and then walked up in the yard by himself, Gongsun Lan also followed Tang Yichuan's side, and the two searched in the yard, but found nothing, and finally returned to the villa like a chicken.
The atmosphere in the villa was very solemn, Shangguan Linglan and the fat man went upstairs after returning to the house, and checked the other rooms, they all shook their heads after they came down, and their faces were very pale.
"They're all dead, it's the same as the death in the murderous house. All dead. Shangguan Linglan walked to the sofa and sat down, taking a deep breath. Most of the time people like them face ghosts and spirits, but they rarely face death, and seeing so many corpses makes people feel uncomfortable, even if it is Shangguan Linglan.
"No, not all of them are dead, I remember that there were two more children missing, didn't we just see those two children? One is dead and the other is An Yueyue! The fat man said.
"Oh yes, that's right. However, the two children have not been seen again for decades, so many people have judged that they are also dead, but no bodies have been found. Shangguan Linglan said, "I'm wondering if what we're looking for is related to the murderer." β
