Chapter 16: The Chamber of Secrets
The candlelight flickered, and the master held the compass with a calm expression, as if waiting for something.
Seeing him like this, my anxious heart gradually calmed down, and I turned to look at Zhang Fang: "What's the panic, calm down, with my master here, we won't have an accident." β
Zhang Fang's face turned pale, "Really? β
I looked at him firmly: "Really. β
Zhang Fang breathed a sigh of relief, but soon his heart rose to his throat again.
The flickering candle flame suddenly popped...... Extinguished!
It was the only source of light, and in an instant the whole house was plunged into extreme darkness, and I couldn't see my fingers.
Zhang Fang grabbed me like a life-saving straw, but I couldn't see the direction of the master clearly.
Suddenly falling into this situation, except for fear, everyone subconsciously held their breath, and their perception was maximized at this moment, always alert to the coming danger.
There was a moment of silence around me, and I was wary of the surroundings when I suddenly heard the sound of water dripping.
Tick tock......
At the same time, I felt a chill on the back of my hand, as if some liquid was dripping on it.
"Ahh Zhang Fang probably felt it too, and unlike my calmness, he screamed in fear.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
He panicked and said, "Okay... It was as if something was dripping on my head. β
Hearing this, I hurriedly stopped him, "Don't panic, be quiet." β
With that, I reached out and touched his head......
The liquid that fell on Zhang Fang's head was like water, but it was a little viscous.
What could it be?
Just as I was thinking, my shoulders suddenly sank.
"Master?"
I subconsciously shouted, but no response came.
I was astute and immediately sensed that something was wrong, because no matter how powerful a person is, he can't hide everything, but he can't hide the sound of his own breathing.
People need to breathe as long as they live, and only the dead can breathe without breathing!
Plop Plop Plop β
My heart was beating wildly in my chest, but I forced myself to calm down, and I remembered the furnishings of the room, and remembered that before I fell into darkness, there was a table less than a step in front of me, and a white vase was placed on it.
I quietly took a step forward, my hand reaching in front of me, and sure enough, I touched the vase.
I don't care about you!
I cursed in my heart, and at the same time picked up the vase and slammed it around and smashed it behind me, and the whole process was not a bit muddy.
Bang!
The vase was shattered in an instant.
I don't know if I hit anything, because it was so dark, but I was sure that after I threw the vase out, the flames of the extinguished candles started burning again.
The darkness receded, and the master appeared about five steps to my right, not behind me.
He turned around and asked me, "What did you just see?" β
I shook my head and said, "I didn't see anything." It looked like something was grabbing my shoulder, but it didn't look like a living person, so ......"
Before I finished speaking, Zhang Fang suddenly trembled and screamed.
"Look, look."
He trembled and pointed to the ceiling, and my master and I looked up and saw that the white ceiling was densely covered with bright red blood lettersβdeath.
Followed by.
Not only the ceiling......
Walls, floors, furniture......
The word "death" appeared in blood red all of them!
It's terrifying to watch.
Zhang Fang, who had been frightened many times, directly weakened his legs and sat on the ground with his buttocks.
But it was his fall that made me and my master discover the clues.
Due to the close proximity of Zhang Fang to the wall, he accidentally bumped into the wall behind him while stumbling down, and the sound of a wall was different when it was hollow or solid.
The wall behind Zhang Fang made a dull sound after the impact, and it was clear that there was still room for concealment behind it.
But how do you open it?
I noticed that there was a handle on the wardrobe next to it that seemed to be able to turn.
Reaching out and trying, the wall moved and opened a secret door.
At this time, the compass pointer that was spinning wildly finally stopped, pointing to the secret door in front of me, and in the face of the vigorous yin qi gushing out, I finally understood why I felt that this place was too clean when I entered the villa twice, and the dirty things were hidden.
"Let's go, go in and have a look." It's still the master who is the first.
The seemingly ordinary bedroom has a hole in the sky after entering the secret door and passing through a secret passage of about two meters.
Syllable!
This time, the master turned on the light switch, and the scene inside the secret door was unobstructed.
It's unbelievable that there are all kinds of torture instruments in it!
Not only me, but also the master's always calm face also had a surprised expression, and Zhang Fang was even more confused.
"Oh my God, the Li family is playing so well?"
"But... I remember Xiao Quan said that this house was second-hand, and they had only moved back for a few days. At that time, I was still surprised, how could the Li family be so rich, how could they live in a second-hand villa. β
I squatted down, looked at the dark red bloodstained thing on the ground and said, "Maybe it has nothing to do with the Li family......
I found blood stains on the ground and on the torture instruments, which were certain to be some time old and not all at once!
Combined with the above points, it can be judged that there have been people who have suffered long-term and inhuman abuse here. Wait, or even be tortured and killed here.
Killing......
The word popped into my head, and I couldn't help but think of a description in a book when I peeked at the secret arts.
There are many dead people in the murderous house, and those who died by torture and killing are the most resentful. Therefore, some people deliberately use this method to torture and kill their loved ones and create murderous houses!
Oh my God, no one would do that, would they?
I looked up at the master, and the master's eyes were also looking at me, and looking at his expression, we should have thought of going together.
I asked the master, "What should I do now?" β
Judging from the current situation, this villa is not as simple as Li Quan said, the whole incident is like a big net, the Li family and I are both fish in this net, and we are dead in the trap.
The master pondered for a while and said, "If nothing else, this should be the scene of the fierce death." Give it a try, and if you can give it away, it's undoubtedly the best. β
After that, the master asked me to hand over the backpack to him.
A lot of things in the backpack have been used before, and the incense, candles, paper and money are gone, but fortunately, the master doesn't seem to need these, he took out three things from it, the soul bell, the soul pestle and... Another copper coin.
Well?
I didn't find out before that the master actually liked to use copper coins so much.
Different from the previous two, the copper coin taken out this time is not only larger, but also has an engraved flower on the edge, that is, how strange the carved flower looks, like two twisted ghosts dancing around the coin.
This feeling was even stronger after the master dropped a drop of blood on the copper coin.....
