Chapter 133: Fairy Tale Forest (Seventy-Nine) Ghosts
The third time I groped through the bones, I found some useful clues. Although I don't know much about autopsies, I can still roughly measure the length of the bones of the evidence through exploration.
According to my estimates, the skeleton should be 1.7 to 1.8 meters long, and it is more likely that it is male. And, I found a necklace with a pendant on his neck, on his neck bone to be exact. Because I couldn't see clearly, I could only roughly grope for a while, this seems to be a necklace in the shape of a mermaid, and then think of the mermaid who was locked in the secret room, this chain may be an important clue. With that in mind, I took the necklace off the skeleton and put it in the pocket of my pants.
And I also found that the little finger of the left hand of this corpse was missing, I don't know if it was disabled before death or broken after death, anyway, I groped for a long time and didn't find the bone of his little finger on the ground near it, so I don't think it should be here.
Other than that, I don't see anything else useful. Standing up and silently muttering to it a few words of rest and offense, I withdrew from the cage and prepared to find another way out.
I followed the cage and touched the empty position on the other side, only to find that this empty position was really empty, and there was nothing. I was wondering if there was only one entrance to the "elevator" here, but suddenly I stepped on something under my feet, which made me slip and almost fall, but in the end I was able to stabilize something and not really fall to the ground.
Once I had regained my balance, I crouched down strangely, looking for what I had just stepped on.
Is this another necklace? No, this doesn't seem to be a pendant, but it feels more like a pendant!?
I was shocked when I found something in my hand, and in order to confirm my guess, I hurriedly took it to a bright place. By the light of the stars, I could only see the general outline of the thing in my hand, but this was already a lackey for me to recognize this thing - Yu Pu's pocket watch.
This pocket watch has been in Yu Pu's hand since I gave it to him, and he didn't put this pocket watch in his backpack or somewhere else, so this pocket watch should naturally be carried by him all the time. And the appearance of the pocket watch that Yu Pu is wearing here shows that he has been here!
I thought about the line carefully, and although the drag marks in front of the door on the first floor were not very clear, I was sure that it was one-way and there was only one, which meant that people were either dragged into the "elevator" or dragged out. The elevator leads to this attic again, and I haven't met anyone here, so there are only two possibilities - one is that someone brought Yu Pu here and dragged him out of the "elevator" after passing the "elevator" to the first floor, and the other is that someone dragged Yu Pu into the elevator from the first floor and brought it here. However, no matter what, it is impossible for Yu Pu to appear or disappear out of thin air, which is enough to prove that in this attic, there are entrances and exits other than "elevators"!
It's just that although it is certain that there will be entrances and exits, where will it be?
I looked around, but I didn't see anything that looked like there was a door, and after thinking about it for a while, I finally turned my eyes to the empty space next to the cage. I believe that if my speculation is correct, and there is an exit here, it must be within that range.
To confirm my suspicions, I walked over to the area and tapped the wall tentatively, following the example of the wolf's fangs.
Really!
I couldn't help but get excited when I heard the crisp sound, and continued to knock on the surroundings like a wolf's fang, finding the range of the hollow wall, which should be the same door as the secret room.
Now that you've found the door, the next question is how to open it. I thought back to the time when I opened the door of the secret room, and as I did at that time, I reached out and pressed my palm against the hollow wall, but to my surprise, it failed.
What's going on!? I frowned, was my guess wrong? Isn't this another magic door?
As if to confirm my mistake, no matter how much I fumbled in that position, the walls didn't change in any way. I stood in front of the wall frowning and thinking, but I still didn't think of anything wrong, and I couldn't think of anything else.
I couldn't help but sigh, knowing the location of the door but not being able to open it, it was a real pain in the ass. However, I couldn't give up, so I continued to look for a way to open the wall.
"I can open the door for you."
The sudden sound almost frightened me into cardiac arrest, and I was suffocated even to breathe, my legs were weak, and I subconsciously turned around and put the knife in my hand in front of me, and leaned my back against the hollow wall. However, there was nothing in front of him, only the scattered piles of debris that he had seen before, and nothing else appeared.
But I didn't dare to move, and leaned against the wall, listening with bated breath, but heard nothing but the sound of my own heartbeat.
Auditory hallucinations! No way! How could there be such a clear auditory hallucination! There must be something!
I denied that I was left to chance, and guarded the space in front of me, terrifying if something would suddenly come at me from the darkness.
However, the sound disappeared after only one sound, and it seemed to be my auditory hallucination, as if it had never appeared, until I was dancing in the middle of a quiet darkness, and my breathing was slowly calming, but I still did not dare to let my guard down.
I thought back to what I had just heard, and it seemed to be the voice of a middle-aged man, very soft, but exceptionally clear.
"Who are you?" After waiting to no avail, I hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to ask.
Hey, it's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided and waited anxiously in such a tone, it's better to take the initiative!
"I can open this door for you, but please help me fulfill a wish."
Although I had prepared in advance, the sound came again and my heart struck, and I carefully identified the source of the sound, but I felt that the sound seemed to come from myself, which made me even more frightened.
Swallowing in horror, I tried to keep myself calm, "Since you say that, you have to let me know and let me know who you are, right?"
I didn't wait for an answer immediately after I finished speaking, and the voice was silent for a moment before saying, "I'm a ghost." ”
Phantom? What's the premise!?
I roared inwardly, but my face didn't dare to show it at all, and I hesitated to ask if I wanted to continue to ask about its identity. I've heard of the pen fairy or something, this kind of spirit can't ask its identity or anything, I don't know if there is such a taboo as a ghost. Speaking of ghosts, ghosts are also ghosts, and I really hit me.
However, the ghost seemed to know what I was thinking, and without waiting for me to speak, he continued, "I was a prince, and the owner of this castle is the king of our kingdom, my father. ”
Prince? The son of the owner of the castle? Isn't that the mermaid's companion? The third ogre that hasn't appeared!? How could he be already dead!?
"When I was younger, I fell in love with a mermaid from the deep sea"
The ghost, who claimed to be a prince, didn't seem to need a response from me, but just immersed himself in the memories, telling a story bit by bit.
I listened to the story in silence and was shocked. I didn't expect it to be such a story, or should I say I didn't expect it to be such a truth.
I didn't make a sound when my eyes flickered, I just thought silently, the story told by the prince can be said to be very different from what the mermaid said, and this kind of accident also caught me a little off guard, but thinking about the clues I have obtained so far, I am biased towards the truth told by the prince
"I can help you open the door in front of you, and I can help you find your companions, I just want you to help me fulfill my wish, okay?"
Hearing the prince's ghost's question, I hesitated again, and after a few thoughts, I finally nodded, "Yes, but I can't guarantee it." Because I think there are things that are a little different from what you're saying, and I'm not sure if that has changed in the years you've been dead. ”
"From the time I died until now, I've been trapped here and can't get out of this space, some things have changed, it's inevitable that something will change, I won't force it, I just want you to try your best to help me, and"
I understood what the prince meant, nodded silently, and agreed with his words, and then asked suspiciously, "But you have been trapped here and can't leave, and I can't help this, can I let you get out of here when I get here?" ”
"Indeed, it was your arrival that allowed me to get out of here." The ghost replied calmly, "I was trapped in my own bones, but you destroyed them to release me, and now I can move freely. ”
Broken bones? The corners of my mouth couldn't help twitching, this refers to me stepping on someone's leg bones and coughing up to the sky to testify, I didn't mean to, an unintentional mistake, an unintentional mistake
But even though I've believed the ghost's words seven or eight points now, I still don't dare to trust him completely, so I woke him up by accident and did such a deal with him, and I don't know if it's good or bad, so I can only take one step at a time.
"Then open this door and take me to my companions." I took a deep breath and communicated with the ghost, it had no substance, I couldn't see it, I could only hear the sound close by, although it was a little scary at first, but now I'm used to it.
"I will have the ability to solve your commission if I find my companion, so help me find my companion first."
