Bai Yiqing's eyes were a little moved, he took a deep breath, and replied softly: "Hmm." ”

After bringing Bai Yiqing back, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Nantang stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "It's good to come back, it's getting late now, let's rest for another night and leave early." ”

In fact, I think it's good to stay another night, back to the room, I looked around through the window, and said to Chu Nantang: "Nantang, have you found that this hotel is very yin?" ”

Chu Nantang said: "Madam said that I had a nightmare last night, but in fact it was not a nightmare, but a hint and reminder from the unjust soul here in your dream. ”

I closed my eyes, tried to recall my dream last night, and said, "I seem to have come to a closed room yesterday, which is very dim and the floor is very old wood. ”

"While you were looking for Bai Yiqing, I heard someone talking about it."

"What are you talking about?"

"This hotel used to be the house of a murderous pervert Mo Solang, and his family was very rich at that time and raised many slave girls. But every once in a while, the female slaves in the house would disappear from the world, and no one knew where they went.

Later, some people suspected that Solang had killed the slave girls, and every time he came to search for them, he could not find the corpses and evidence of his murder. ”

The story was so terrifying that I couldn't help asking, "What about then?" ”

Later, all the slave girls in Solang's family disappeared, even if the mercenary fee was high, no one dared to go to Solang's house to work, and Solang Ruoda's house gradually left him alone, until suddenly one day, they found that even Solang was missing, and his whereabouts were unknown. A hundred years have passed here, leaving a legend that the ghost of the dead slave girl was not reincarnated, but lingered in this new hotel. ”

"This is so weird, if he really killed so many slave girls, there shouldn't be no trace of it, and where can he hide the body?"

Chu Nantang said: "On the first night, everyone was hypnotized and lost the ability to perceive. We were misled into thinking that the gang who snatched the bronze box did it, but it wasn't. ”

I looked up at him suddenly, "Is it Solang?" ”

He shook his head: "It's impossible to speculate yet, what is going on, wait until after twelve o'clock in the night, let's see." ”

We fell asleep in bed early, and I soon fell asleep, and the dream began to appear in my dreams again.

The red-clothed female ghost was crying very sadly, and I cautiously stepped forward and asked her, "Who are you?" Where is this? ”

When she turned around, my sanity was suddenly pulled back to reality, and when I opened my eyes, I saw a figure in red passing through the doorway.

And Chu Nantang's figure has long disappeared beside him, and he didn't wake me up!

Thinking of this, I quickly put on my clothes and chased out. The red-clothed female ghost was moving forward unhurriedly, just fast enough for me to keep up.

It wasn't until she crossed a wall at the end of the hallway that I tapped on the wall and could hear the echo.

Prove that across this wall, that side should be empty.

I just didn't know where Nantang would be at this time, so I pushed the wall and heard a familiar voice behind me.

"Madam, don't push it, there is no mechanism in this wall, I tried."

I looked back and saw him standing behind him in a long black trench coat.

"Nantang, where have you been?"

He didn't answer me, but said, "Now that the hotel is asleep, I found a basement through which I can reach the room behind this wall." ”

I followed him to the first floor of the hotel, and under the carpet of the door, the floor tiles could be removed.

Until a large piece of floor tiles was brought in, a wooden door to the basement appeared. Chu Nantang opened the wooden door of the basement, and it was pitch black underneath.

Chu Nantang looked for it at the front desk, found a few candles, lit them and handed them to me: "Madam, don't get lost with me." ”

"Hmm." I answered softly and followed closely behind Chu Nantang.

There's nothing special about this basement. The long hallway was dark and smelled of musty and rot.

"It seems like there's just an ordinary secret passage here, and there's nothing in the secret room."

"Well, nothing special has been found yet."

After walking for a while, he came to a wooden gate, which had some charms painted on it, Chu Nantang raised the candle and looked at it for a while, and said, "This is a soul-locking spell." ”

"Soul Locker?"

"Hence the name, it is to lock the dead soul here, and cannot be reincarnated, and this wooden door also has some doorways."

"How?"

"This wooden door is made of peach wood, which can not only hurt the soul, but also ban the soul."

After that, Chu Nantang observed for a long time before turning back to me and saying, "Madam, you step back first, and I'll see if I can open this wooden door." ”

"You have to be careful." I took about ten steps back, and he reached out and gently pushed the door, but it only shook twice, and it didn't open open.

Then I don't know what method he used, the wooden door shook violently, and a loud 'boom' was heard, as if something had shattered some kind of force.

The old mahogany door squeaked and slowly opened. Chu Nantang stood at the door and didn't go in, and I stepped forward suspiciously: "Nantang, what did you find?" ”

Following his line of sight, he raised the candle and looked into the large basement, only to see the eerie iron cages and torture instruments lined up all over the room.

Anyone who sees this scene can't help but have a layer of cold sweat oozing from their backs.

"This is called Solang, could it be a sadist and a pervert?" I asked Chu Nantang quietly and shrank beside him.

He took my hand and calmly walked into the basement.

The candlelight illuminates the dark room, and the marble floor is covered with a layer of black and a disgusting stench.

Chu Nantang squatted down, looked at the black sticky material on the ground, and said: "This ground is all dried blood, after a long time, it has not been cleaned up, and it has accumulated over time, and it has become like this." ”

As soon as I heard this, my stomach churned, and I felt that it was becoming more and more difficult to breathe.

The cage is big enough to fit a person in. I can't help but think of Solang's change of being a cage of captured slave girls and abusing them to their heart's content.

"Nantang, let's go, it's always creepy here."

Compared with the unjust souls I really saw, I didn't dare to look directly at these torture instruments in front of me. Chu Nantang considered my feelings and nodded: "Let's go out first." ”

Just as we turned to leave, suddenly the mahogany door was closed for some unknown reason.

The hoarse voice made me tremble in fright: "What...... What's going on? ”

Chu Nantang's eyes sank, and he quietly glanced around, and asked, "Where are the ghosts?" What's going on? Come out! ”

A gust of wind blew, and the candle in his hand was extinguished.

My heart couldn't help but tremble, even though I had experienced a lot of strange events, but this time, it really made people feel timid.

"Nantang, what should I do? It doesn't seem to be any ordinary ghost. "Why are your hands so cold all of a sudden?

After waiting for a long time, I didn't hear his answer, so I couldn't help but turn my head and ask, "Nantang, why don't you speak?" ”

Suddenly, the candle in his hand was rekindled, and I looked up at him, only to see a terrible, half-rotten man's face. He smiled weirdly at me.

I screamed in fright, shook off his bloodied hands, and jumped frantically towards the mahogany door.

But this mahogany door is very strong, and no matter how much I push it, it will not move at all.

There was a chill behind me, and I shivered, leaning on the door, trembling and looking back at the ghost.

I saw that he was holding a terrifying iron hook in his hand, and the end of the iron hook glowed with a cold light.

"Hey, hey, hey...... Welcome to Hell! ”

He reached out and put an iron hook around my neck, and led me into the iron cage, and he was too strong for me to resist.

It's just that I don't understand. It's obvious that Nantang is by my side, how did he become this monster?

I saw him smiling hideously, and the lamp in the dim basement, which had not been repaired for many years, was actually electrified, and the old lamp glowed with a yellow halo.

I was imprisoned in an iron cage that smelled of decay, and I saw that the other cages were also full of slave girls, and the monster with an unrecognizable face lifted the female slave in the cage and slowly walked towards the torture device.

He smashed the woman's lute bone through with a sharp iron hook, and then took out the saw. Began sawing the limbs of a living woman.

The woman screamed, but he didn't relent.

There was a seven or eight-year-old boy in the cage next to me, and he started screaming frantically.

"Mom! Mom! ”

The slave girl he just mentioned was his mother? I can't think of anything more cruel than the pain of a child watching his mother die tragically in front of him, but nothing more cruel than that.

"Stop! You devil!! ”

The monster smiled strangely at me, and soon sawed off the woman's feet, whose body was still hanging in the air with an iron hook, and her face was so white that it was bloodless.

The blood flowed into a small river, but the demon remained indifferent, found a jar, and stuffed the woman's body into the jar, making her a human being.

I held my head and screamed, closing my eyes and not daring to look at the cruelty in front of me.

Suddenly, I was hugged from behind, and I felt a hint of warmth, and I heard that familiar voice calling to me.

"Madame, Madame, wake up! Madam!! ”

"Shocked!!" I opened my eyes suddenly, and the dimly lit basement was the same as when I first arrived, the demon was gone, and the woman was gone.

I saw Chu Nantang holding a candle and wiping the sweat on my forehead with his sleeve: "Madam, are you okay?" ”

"No, don't touch me, you go away!" Thinking of the scene just now, I suddenly retreated to the torture platform, took a sharp spear, and pointed it at Chu Nantang.

Maybe the person standing in front of me was not Chu Nantang, but the monster's trick.

"Madame, what's wrong with you?"

"Don't come here, you're not Chu Nantang, you're the murderer!" You're trying to lie to me again now, and I won't be fooled again. ”

Chu Nantang sighed lightly: "Madam, the one just now was just an illusion, you fell into their trap, fortunately I came in time." ”

"How do you prove that you are Chu Nantang?!"

He thought for a moment and said, "This ...... How does Madame want to prove it? Madame, don't move! ”

"What?"

His face suddenly became solemn, his gaze fixed on me, and I swallowed quietly, cold sweat rolling down my forehead.

The soul on his wrist flew out quickly, slamming it into my back, and then he shouted, "Come here!" ”

I didn't think much of it. rushed towards Chu Nantang, only to hear a miserable wail behind him.

When I looked back, it was none other than the demon who had abused the slave girl in the illusion at the time.

"Nantang, this person ...... Isn't it Solang? ”

"Well, it's very likely that Solang's spirit lingers here."

As if afraid of the power of the Soul Bead, Solang disappeared out of thin air.

I subconsciously tightened Chu Nantang's hand, this time it was warm, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Noticing my small movements, he couldn't help but clasp my hand tighter: "Don't be afraid, I will hold you tightly this time." ”

"Hmm." My heart warms. The fear faded away.

We walked together to the torture table, and looked at the torture instruments, and we couldn't even count how many knives there were, and they were of different thicknesses and shapes.

"These knives, are they...... What does it do? ”

Chu Nantang picked it up with a handkerchief wrapped in a blade, looked at it and said, "A knife as thin as a cicada's wings can be used to peel the skin." Like this one, it is most suitable for Ling Chi. This big chopping knife...... Madame has heard of the halving, right? Cut off the person from the middle waist, and the person will not die immediately. ”

"Say no more!"

Chu Nantang threw away the handkerchief in his hand and walked behind the torture table, under the torture platform. There were a lot of wine jars.

And every jar had the same charm on the yellow background, and I ducked behind him, with a very bad premonition.

"When I was in the illusion, I saw this devil sawing off all four feet of a slave girl, and then put her into an altar and made her into a human being."

Chu Nantang silently counted the wine jars here, and said: "There are a total of two hundred and forty wine jars, as for what is inside, open it and take a look, maybe you can have an answer." ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at me, and I subconsciously looked away: "I don't look." Just tell me what it is. ”

When I turned my head and blindfolded my hands, I heard him open one of the jars, and a pungent rancid smell lingered in the air.

After a long time, Chu Nantang took my hand and said, "Madam, get out of here first." ”

As I spoke, I left the torture platform quickly, and when I saw him leave in a hurry, my heart also rose to my throat, and I didn't ask anything more.

Until he left the basement with him, put the bricks back in their original places, and covered them with blankets.

At this time, the sky has revealed the white of the fish's belly, and the sky is about to dawn.

Chu Nantang glanced at the sky. Said: "Fortunately, it was dawn, otherwise there would have been some trouble just now." ”

"Is there a ...... in that jar?"

Chu Nantang nodded: "Two hundred and forty wine jars, which are filled with the bones of female slaves, they were made into human beings alive and slowly tortured to death. ”

After listening to it, I only felt a tumbling in my stomach and retched twice.

"Madam......" Chu Nantang stepped forward worriedly and stroked my back: "Go back to the room to rest first, it is estimated that we will not be able to leave for the past two days." ”

"Hmm."

He suddenly picked me up, and I was a little overwhelmed: "I, I can still walk by myself." ”

He smiled lightly: "There is no one else here. What are you shy about? You're my son's mother, why are you still so shy? ”

"It's not...... It's not at home. I buried myself in his chest and muttered.

He took advantage of the loophole and said, "Madame mean, we can do this at home?" ”

I closed my mouth and said no more, yawned, and was indeed sleepy.

"Sleep in peace, I'll be by my wife's side."

His words were like sleeping pills, and before I could enter the room, I fell asleep in his arms.

Hearing that we had to stay for two more days, Professor Zhang was puzzled: "Why do we have to stay for two more days?" ”

Although Professor Zhang encountered many unbelievable things when he was with us, he still insisted on believing in science. I don't believe in any monsters.

So in order to effectively convince Professor Zhang, Chu Nantang said: "I want to see if those people who robbed the bronze ancient box will come, so I will wait for two more days." ”

Professor Zhang nodded: "This may also be true." ”

Lisheng touched his chin and thought about it and said, "But they have already scared the snakes, will they really come?" ”

"That's true, but these outlaws, in order to achieve their own goals, can even kill people, what else to fear? What about scaring the snake, here is what he wants, and he will naturally come. Bai Yiqing went back.

Lisheng may still be thinking about the incident that wronged him yesterday, but he didn't talk back to him.

Li Qingran smiled: "I have no opinion. I still have places I want to visit, and if I stay for two more days, I will be able to visit all the places I want to visit. ”

Bai Yiqing glanced at her quietly: "Do you want to ...... I'll accompany you? ”

Li Qingran's delicate little face flushed: "You are a busy person, how can you have time to accompany me?" ”

"No matter how much time you don't have, you can't have time to accompany the big beauty!" Bai Yiqing said with a sigh of affection.

Li Qing glanced at him: "Bai Yiqing, you just owe something!" ”

After that, he left with a red face and angrily, and Bai Yiqing chased after him: "Let me accompany you, let me accompany you, I'll buy you candy to eat!" ”

"Fuck off, you rotten tricks, keep it to deceive those little girls who don't know the world!"

……

I sighed: "Finally, there is one who doesn't eat Xiaobai's set, it seems that Qingzhan is Xiaobai's nemesis." ”

Lisheng sneered coldly: "Isn't it a world of face-watching now, just Bai Yiqing's indiscriminate love, Miss Li is too blind." ”

I pursed my lips and smiled, and asked him, "Lisheng, do you dare to say these words to Qingran in person?" ”

Lisheng was stunned and fell silent: "I...... I'm going to have breakfast. ”

After breakfast, Chu Nantang quickly returned to the room and handed over a talisman: "This is what I made with my own hands, wearing this, as long as it is not a particularly angry ghost, I can't get close to my wife." ”

I took the amulet, clasped my hands together for a moment, and put it in my pocket: "When are we going to the basement again?" ”

"This time, madam, you stay in the room, and I'll go down alone."

"Am I holding you back?"

"No, I'm just afraid that Madame will be in danger, you stay in the room, it will be safer."

I thought for a while and said, "Well, why don't you ask Xiaobai to accompany you, so that you will have a care?" I think I met that ghost last night, not your average ghost, and I've never felt so powerful. ”

Chu Nantang said confidently: "No matter how powerful the ghost is, if he encounters me, he will only be accepted." ”

"That little white ......"

"Not yet, but I'll tell him, that kid hasn't moved much for the past two nights, I'm afraid he has also been hypnotized and won't wake up."

"Is there a way to keep everyone awake?"

"It's enough to keep Xiaobai awake, and when I go to the basement, he can still have some ability to protect you."

After that, Chu Nantang called Bai Yiqing back and disturbed him on his date with Li Qingran, who seemed to be in a bad mood.

Until Chu Nantang told him about his intentions, he immediately felt a sense of justice, patted his chest and said, "Grandpa." You can rest assured, I have fought for my life in vain, and I have also taken care of everyone. ”

Chu Nantang looked at his impassioned appearance, and couldn't help laughing: "I'm not asking you to learn Dong Cunrui to sacrifice himself to blow up the bunker, you take this, after twelve o'clock at midnight every day in the hotel, everyone will fall into a coma, you take this talisman on your body, you can avoid hypnosis and stay awake." ”

That night, except for the three of us insiders. Everyone went back to their rooms early and went to bed.

Chu Nantang went to the basement alone, just after twelve o'clock, all the lights in the hotel were all turned off, and suddenly no one could be heard, and fell into a dead silence.

I nervously held the talisman that Chu Nantang gave me, curled up on the bed, and waited uneasily.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and I raised my voice and asked, "Who?" Who's outside the door? ”

"It's me, Xiaobai. Grandma Zu, open the door for me! ”

I rolled over and opened the door for him: "Did you notice anything?" ”

Xiaobai shook his head: "I've come all the way." If most of the lights in the big hotel are out, but nothing unusual is found, I'm afraid that there is danger on your side, come and have a look. ”

I breathed a sigh of relief: "Nantang is in the basement now, I don't know what happened." ”

At this moment, suddenly there was a loud noise outside, and Xiaobai and I exchanged a look, Xiaobai got up and said, "I'll go out and have a look." ”

"Let's go together." The room suddenly became a little scary.

Xiaobai nodded, took a flashlight in his hand and walked to the front to explore the way.

When I walked to the hotel lobby, I saw that the chandelier in the center of the hall fell for some reason and shattered.

The glass door was wide open. A gust of cold wind blew in with ice and snow, and Bai Yiqing and I couldn't help but shiver, but at the same time, our brains were much clearer.

"Oh no, Xiaobai, we may have been tricked!"

"What do you mean?"

"Someone is taking advantage of this strange incident to continue to seize the bronze ancient box, I have to go back to the room!"

When Bai Yiqing and I returned to the corridor on the second floor, we saw that there were already two figures in the corridor and a fierce battle began.

I saw Long Jianyue and the masked man, fighting indistinguishably between you and me, obviously Long Jianyue's strength is not as good as this person, I am very curious. What kind of person would have such a powerful force, not afraid of death, to break in again and again to seize the bronze ancient box.

"Shen Qiushui, isn't it you?!" I rushed forward and blocked the man's only escape.
