Volume 1 Chapter 128 The Clue Ignored (Part 2)
Xing Lingluo seemed to be really frightened by the scene that happened just now, and now it has been more than ten minutes since Ren Tianxiang helped her back, but she still shrank in the sofa and leaned on Xuanyuan Liuli, the whole person was in a trance, and she didn't see any recovery.
Ren Tianxiang was pulled by her to sit beside her, but now in such a situation, Ren Tianxiang really has a way to calm down. He had his tea in his hand, but his eyes were always on the stairwell, always thinking that Los would appear from the stairwell in the next second.
Luos, Mo Zhai, and Chen Yuang have been up for five minutes, and they haven't come down until now.
Ren Tianxiang already had some guesses in his heart, Los They should not have found any useful clues yet, otherwise the bathroom was so big, how could the three of them have searched for so long and still haven't found clues.
After about four or five minutes, the three of them finally came down from the second floor, but they were empty-handed, and it seemed that they did not find any clues as Ren Tianxiang expected.
The three of them walked into the living room, and Luo Si met Ren Tianxiang's inquiring gaze, slowly shook his head, and said regretfully: "No, we searched through the bathroom, but still didn't find any clues." ”
"Is there anything unusual in the bathroom?" Ren Tianxiang was still unwilling to give up, where the clues were most likely to be found.
"Nope. Loes shook his head, "There's nothing unusual in the entire bathroom except for that smiling face." But that smiling face...... You've seen it before, but we didn't find anything out of the ordeal. ”
"So could this incident in the bathroom be a clue?" Ren Tianxiang lowered his head and thought, and the whole person immediately entered the brainstorming mode.
"But what does this event portend?" Mo Zhai, who had just returned to his seat and sat down, shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "No matter how you look at this thing, it seems to tell us that there are ghosts in this room." ”
"There is a ghost ...... in the house" Mo Zhai's words seemed to remind Ren Tianxiang of something, he muttered this sentence, thinking wildly in his head, "From the smiling ghost that Qing'er met at the beginning, to the diary we found, and the non-existent mirror that Ling'er just encountered, these three things seem to tell us that there are ghosts in this house...... The only thing that clearly tells us that there are ghosts in the house is the diary. Wait, Sister Liuli, can you show me the diary?"
Xuanyuan Liuli nodded, took out the diary from his inner pocket and handed it to Ren Tianxiang. Because there is no way to use the storage ring here, Xuanyuan Liuli volunteered last night to keep this diary himself.
When he got the diary, Ren Tianxiang immediately flipped to the diary on September 8, and then read it word by word.
It was only at this time that Ren Tianxiang raised his head as if he had suddenly realized, and his eyes were unprecedentedly clear.
"I think I've found our next mission. Ren Tianxiang pointed to the sentence "The sky lantern rises, a hundred ghosts walk" written on the diary, and said, "We all ignored this diary before, thinking that the truth we were trying to find should be the truth of this disaster." But we forgot this sentence, this sentence specially told by the owner of the diary.
I don't know what the sky lantern is, but what I can guess is that this sky lantern is probably in this house, and I don't know why, this sky lantern has been lit, so Qing'er will see the smiling ghost, and Ling'er will meet the mirror that has been broken. And the purpose of these things is to find the sky lantern as soon as possible.
If my guess is correct, our next task should be to find the lantern in this house and extinguish it, so that we can get rid of the ghosts. ”
After listening to Ren Tianxiang's analysis, everyone felt that it did make some sense.
After thinking for a moment, Loes asked, "But we have searched the whole house, but we have not found the sky lantern, could it be that the sky lantern here refers to the candlestick hanging on the wall......
As he spoke, Luo Si seemed to have thought of something, and immediately looked at Ren Tianxiang with wide eyes.
A smile appeared on Ren Tianxiang's face: "You also thought of it, right? The third floor, there is only the third floor where we have not searched thoroughly." ”
"Third floor?" Hearing Ren Tianxiang and Luo Si's veiled conversation, Xuanyuan Liuli frowned and asked, "Didn't we go up to the third floor before?"
Listening to Xuanyuan Liuli's words, the expression on Ren Tianxiang's face suddenly became confused, and he said, "Didn't you find anything abnormal? Didn't I tell you what we found on the third floor?"
"Is there one?" Xuanyuan Liuli was also confused, he really didn't seem to remember what Ren Tianxiang had said about the third floor.
At this time, Luo Si seemed to have finished recalling what happened last night, and then patted Ren Tianxiang on the shoulder with his forehead, and said helplessly: "We started to understand the diary after we went downstairs last night, and we didn't have a chance to say the situation on the third floor." Later, after the diary was finished, we all forgot about it. ”
After such a reminder from Luos, Ren Tianxiang also remembered what happened last night, so he laughed awkwardly in the eyes of the people around him who seemed to be eating people.
Next, Ren Tianxiang told everything that happened when the four of them went up to the third floor last night, and some of the details that were not mentioned were completed by Los to help him.
Five minutes later, the rest of the people also probably knew what happened to Ren Tianxiang and the four of them on the third floor before, especially the puppet in the deepest part of the room on the third floor, and Ren Tianxiang described the details on it in detail.
After listening to Ren Tianxiang's description, Xuanyuan Liuli nodded and said, "In this way, the third floor is probably the last place where we can find clues." So let's go up and have a look now. ”
After Xuanyuan Liuli finished speaking, he took the lead in the front of the team. Behind her was closely followed by Ren Tianxiang and Luos, and at the end were Ren Tianling, Mo Zhai and Chen Yuang, while Ren Tianqing was helping Xing Lingluo to walk in the middle and was protected by everyone.
During the process of going up the stairs, Ren Tianxiang, Luo Si and Xuanyuan Liuli were all discussing the lock on the door on the third floor. They discussed what to do if they went up this time and the lock still locked the door on the third floor.
Los seemed to have a plan for this, he said, "I saw an axe in the room between me and Tianxiang before, and it seems that this axe is quite sharp. If the lock on the third floor is still there, we'll split it with an axe. ”
"There is an axe in our room?" Ren Tianxiang was puzzled, obviously he had also carefully observed the room before, why didn't he see such an axe.
"It's in the cabinet against the wall. Loes replied honestly, "You went to check the other rooms then, and I was the only one in the room." I told Ruri about this discovery. ”
Luo Si told Ren Tianxiang that he had told Xuanyuan Liuli about this in order to dispel the suspicions that might exist in Ren Tianxiang's heart. The place they are in now is not a safe place, and there may even be danger around anyone.
And after knowing that this illusion might affect their minds, even their teammates lost a little trust, and Luo and Ren Tianxiang were not teammates in the first place, but they just happened to be assigned here.
If Ren Tianxiang knew at this time that he had found an ax but concealed it from everyone, God knows what he would think.
"He did tell me. Xuanyuan Liuli nodded, completely dispelling Ren Tianxiang's suspicions, "But I didn't tell you about this...... In such a situation, there are such sharp weapons, and the fewer people who know about it, the better. ”
"I understand. Ren Tianxiang nodded, didn't speak again, and didn't know what he was thinking.
Soon they went up to the stairwell on the second and third floors, where they could see the door on the third floor.
To their surprise, the door on the third floor disappeared without a trace. Yes, this time it's not just the door lock that's missing, it's the entire door that's gone!
