Chapter 16: The Hidden Ritual

Qin Yulu suddenly turned around.

The expression looked very strange, as if something had been discovered.

Jiang Shui and I immediately walked over quickly.

"These are not things we know."

"What do you mean?" Jiang Shui looked at Qin Yulu in surprise.

"This yin is not yin."

Qin Yulu's words made me and Jiang Shui even more dazed.

The situation now is obviously that there are those things around.

Is this yin or not?

I was suddenly surprised and said, "What do you mean, these aren't ordinary femininities?" And it's not really feminine? ”

Qin Yulu nodded with a serious expression.

Is this yin or not?

It seems to exist in the form of a feminine object, but it is not a real feminine object.

Although my grandfather didn't mention this situation to me, I still thought of a possibility.

Out-of-body.

"Out-of-body." Jiang Shui on the side also realized it, and blurted out in shock.

"These are the three waves of people who came to the Chen family's compound?"

Qin Yulu hesitated, then looked at me and nodded.

"If it's an out-of-body soul, then what about their essence."

Facing my question, Qin Yulu glanced around and said, "Maybe it's already in that place." ”

That place.

The secret of the Chen family's compound.

Qin Yulu came to this courtyard after the blood sacrifice, so the secret is here.

The three of us quickly began to search the courtyard.

The two houses were not let go, and finally, Qin Yulu found the secret passage of the mechanism.

It was in one of the houses.

This house should be a normal occupant house.

The many objects in the room are the best proof of this.

And there's also a picture on the wall.

The person in the photo is Chen Fengnian, I don't know him, but Jiang Shui and Qin Yulu know each other.

The owner of this room is Chen Fengnian.

But apart from this, nothing special was found.

The secret door is on the floor next to the bed.

When it was opened, it was pitch black, and a chill came up.

There is still no yin qi appearing.

We didn't go into the tunnels right away.

Qin Yulu and Jiang Shui were both using their own methods to confirm something.

I'm worried! If these people are all in this dark tunnel, then how to explain the backpack we saw earlier?

Did you deliberately leave your backpack there? Again, it seems unlikely.

Or maybe there are other clues we haven't found!

"I'll go down first." After confirming, Qin Yulu immediately took the lead and walked down the secret passage.

Jiang Shui glanced at me and immediately followed.

It's much colder down there than it is above, like walking into a morgue.

A narrow staircase with no handrails on either side, so be very careful when walking.

After walking to a depth of more than ten meters, we stood underneath.

There's a lot of space down there, and it's obviously a lot of effort to create such an underground space.

But this is not an ancient tomb, it should be secretly arranged by Chen Fengnian himself.

A square stone platform, but it is very low, in fact, it is only about ten centimeters above the ground.

There were a lot of braziers around the platform, but they were not lit.

There were a lot of people lying on the platform, and they weren't bones! It's people, as if they were asleep, as if they had just died.

There is also a very strange stone.

The stone was not carved, but naturally formed.

It looks like a human face, and you can even see your facial features clearly.

But the face looked like a child.

There was also a weird and innocent smile.

"Sister Hong!"

Qin Yulu saw the woman she was looking for.

She immediately ran over excitedly, but she was still very cautious, and did not touch it easily, but just stood next to it.

A young woman about the same age as Qin Yulu.

Sitting on the ground, with my eyes closed, I couldn't breathe, but it really looked like I was sleeping, or I had just died.

There are other people who sit on the ground in this position.

But there is no pattern, and the locations all seem to be random.

"Chen Fengnian!" Jiang Shui pointed to an old man on the platform and said in surprise.

It's in the middle of the people lying on these platforms.

The appearance was very peaceful, and the posture and shape of these people can be seen, they were lying down very calmly, without any fierce fighting.

The people on the stage are all missing from the Chen family compound.

The people sitting in the audience were all three waves of people who had come to the Chen family compound to investigate before.

And the number of people is right.

It's just that this picture is so weird that it really creeps me out.

Qin Yulu walked over.

She didn't act rashly, although she was very excited.

She unexpectedly handed me the Hades Cup.

"...... this?"

"Not anymore."

"Oh." I immediately quickly put away the Hades Cup.

Qin Yulu began to wander around the place, she was checking everyone, including those on the stage.

I didn't move, I stood still, and the river water was too, which is the meaning of the river.

Qin Yulu also acquiesced to this decision.

Three people can't act at the same time, so that if something happens, maybe someone can stay awake.

Qin Yulu walked cautiously and then walked over again.

We used flashlights all the time, and we didn't touch the braziers.

After walking back, Qin Yulu's face was so solemn that "Everyone is not breathing, but it looks like they have not been dead for a long time, or they are not really dead, this may be some kind of ritual." ”

Rite?

Jiang Shui immediately glanced at the people on the stage and said, "Chen Fengnian did it?" ”

"Well, there is only this possibility, these people from the Chen family's compound should all take the initiative to come, as for what the ceremony is, I can't tell what the ceremony is, but ......"

Qin Yulu suddenly looked at the strange and terrifying stone, and Jiang Shui and I also looked over.

The secret of this ritual may lie in that stone.
