Chapter 34: Strange Places
The two of them who entered the inn couldn't help but be a little disappointed after a brief search.
Compared to the storage room of the previous training ground, it is really more dilapidated, at least the first floor. Except for a few candles, nothing of value was seen.
Han Ling wiped the sweat from his face and said with a smile: "Hehe, this one is finally covered by a tile, clean it well, and you can settle it here." ”
"I don't think we have a choice for this question......" Xu Zhige stood by the window, his voice a little erratic, "Look outside." ”
Outside the window, dark clouds were already hanging over the house, and the birds were already flying towards the sky, and the almost dark sky made the air suddenly feel oppressive. It looks like a super heavy rainstorm is coming.
As mentioned before, with the presence of heat wave trees, high heat and high humidity have become the special climate of the Ding area, and thunderstorms are very common in the circle covered by heat wave trees.
"Ahem, I see, I'm dead! Hurry up and pack up and rest, and wait for the rain to stop before you leave!" Han Ling coughed lightly, put down all the backpacks on his body, and then automatically and consciously went to find things that could be used in the house.
It was getting dark, and the pre-storm depression had the birds fluttering outside the window. The lobby of the inn, which had no light, was even darker. At this time, perhaps the luckiest thing is to find a candle.
"Pigeon, what are you still looking at, hurry up and come over to help!" Han Ling shouted Xu Zhige, who had been standing in front of the broken staircase in a daze, but found that the other party didn't even move, and suddenly felt a little strange, and walked over, "What are you in a daze, hurry up and come over to help." ”
"Look at the top. Xu Zhige pointed to the staircase on the second floor, where a huge oil painting hung on the peeling wallpaper. Although it was covered in dust and cobwebs, you could still see the contents of the painting.
A family of five, two women, one man, three children, and a middle-aged couple, a total of five family portraits with sad faces.
"How could someone put such a picture here? It feels disgusting......
Han Ling looked at the painting on the wall, and a feeling of irritability and tightness in his chest arose, as Xu Zhige said, this painting is indeed very beautiful. Moreover, the oil paint and tone of the whole painting are on the gray and heavy side, coupled with the sad faces of the owner's family of five, it is easy to make people feel disgusting. "This painting is disgusting......"
"Okay, don't look at it. Xu Zhige stopped Han Ling's somewhat fascinated look.
Looking at the broken staircase, Xu Zhige frowned, "Are you interested in going up there to have a look?" I always feel that there seems to be something strange in this room. Just in case, let's go through the whole house first. ”
Han Ling nodded, "Okay, let's go up together." In addition, you can put your things down, and you won't be tired with a backpack. ”
After putting down their backpacks, Xu Zhige and Han Ling each took a candle and set off towards the second floor. The broken staircase can be difficult for ordinary people, but it is definitely difficult for the students of Tianfu College who are good at it. I saw the two of them jump up to the staircase landing on the second floor with a slight jump.
The staircase leading to the second floor is a landing-type staircase, divided into two sides, the left and right, which also leads to the second floor, and the huge slippery wall hangs above the huge wall in the center.
"Tsk, it's even more disgusting to look at it up close, this painting. Han Ling reached out and touched the dust on it, "What kind of bad taste did the previous owner here have to make this kind of painting hang in such a conspicuous place." According to me, this is exactly what it means to drive away customers. ”
"Leave that alone, let's search by ourselves, it's quicker. Xu Zhige shrugged his shoulders, and the moment he turned to leave, several eyes like knives glanced at him.
"Who is it?!" Xu Zhige's heart jumped, and he turned around to look, except for the inexplicable Han Ling, there was no one to ......
"What's wrong with you, pigeon? Han Ling complained with some dissatisfaction.
"I'm sorry, but maybe I'm too sensitive. After scratching his head, Xu Zhige took the candle and slowly walked up to the second floor, the rotten wooden staircase made a creaking sound with every step, and the feeling of stepping on it was like stepping on a piece of foam, to wake up the spirit of the twelve, lest one accidentally step on the stairs and fall down.
The space on the second floor doesn't seem to be smaller than the first floor, or even slightly larger, without the clutter and tatters below, and it seems that the field of vision is relatively wide.
At this time, the sky was dark, and a glimmer of light was revealed in a few windows without curtains, which could barely be seen without seeing the five fingers, but the visual range was still very limited. Xu Zhige held the candle in his hand, and with the help of the firelight, he pulled up the curtains by the window one by one to let the light from the outside in. Of course, the process inevitably stirs up a lot of dust, and the whole space is filled with billowing smoke.
Xu Zhige, who was carefully holding the candle in one hand and quickly retreating to the side, suddenly felt as if he had knocked something down.
"I'll go! What kind of bad taste is this?" When the light shone in, Xu Zhige finally saw the space on the second floor clearly.
It turned out that it was not very spacious, and the whole space was full of things.
Plaster statues! Full of plaster statues! The whole room is full of plaster statues! Plaster statues of all kinds of poses, all kinds of shapes, lifelike plaster statues!
The most important thing is that they are all plaster casts of naked women! Huan Feiyan is thin and convex and backward, everything, all kinds of postures and all kinds of appearances, and the only thing in common is that they all have the same expression, horror, fear, despair! All these negative emotions.
The horrified expression of a large number of plaster statues so realistically added a bit of unspeakable fear to the room.
"Pigeon...... What's going on?" Han Ling's voice came from outside the door, and as soon as he hurriedly entered the door, he was stunned by the plaster statues in the room, "I originally thought that my side was disgusting enough, but I didn't expect you to be even more perverted here, how twisted does the owner of this place have to be to make such a room disgusting." ”
"What's going on over there?"
Han Ling looked unbearable, and said disgustingly: "You can go over and see it yourself, anyway, I think it's disgusting." ”
What could be more disgusting than the plaster statues piled up all over the room? Xu Zhige pursed his lips, feeling a little indifferent in his heart, but when he walked to the other side of the room and looked at it, he immediately felt that he was really too young to be frightened by the plaster statues just now.
Because in this room, there are a lot of models, male mannequins, just like the half-skinned and half-visceral mannequins in the biology classroom, here are the best male mannequins, but in different postures.
There are struggles, there are pleading, there are resisting, and the expressions on their faces are also different, pain, anger, despair, pleading, each of them is lifelike, vivid, and definitely a master-level craft, but now Xu Zhige has no mood to appreciate the craftsmanship of the maker at all, he just feels the stomach acid churning in his abdomen, and a feeling of wanting to vomit rushes directly to his throat.
"Pigeon, you see, I'll tell you straight, the owner of this place must be psychopathic, otherwise how could he get so many models and plaster statues here, and all of them have such weird expressions. It makes people uncomfortable to look at. Han Ling walked in and said with a grim face.
"There's a staircase up one level here, so let's go up and have a look. Xu Zhige didn't answer, although he also thought so in his heart, "This second layer is so perverted, is the third layer even more perverted? ”
This time the two did not move separately, because the stairs had only one direction, and they slowly walked up to the third floor in the order of one after the other.
Compared to the occasional light from the second layer, this third layer can be called the type that can't see the five fingers, even the windows are sealed, the curtains are all hung, and there is not a trace of light penetrating in. "Let's go open the curtains first. Xu Zhige pointed to the right and motioned for Han Ling to go up there and open the curtains, while he walked to the left.
A tearing sound sounded, and with a forceful pull, Han Ling directly pulled down the huge curtain that covered the entire three floors, and as soon as the light outside the window shone, the environment inside the room was suddenly revealed.
A huge dining table looked like it should be the kind of long table used by nobles that often appeared on the Holy Continent. This long table divides the entire room into two halves.
The table was filled with cutlery, glasses, and candlesticks, and everything looked like an aristocratic table. At the front of the dining table, at the end of the room, five figures sat silently on it. It's like a host waiting for the chef to serve the food.
"I always thought that all the horror stories that the girls in the academy loved to watch were made up and scary, and now it seems that there are still some perverts in this world who like this tone. Han Ling was speechless. Because the five standing figures are all wax figures, and they are wax figures with a very high degree of completion, whether it is the folds of clothes or buttons, the corners of the hair and other details are handled quite perfectly, completely reproducing the demeanor of a real person, with a sad expression, these five wax figures are a family of five in the huge portrait that I saw on the second floor platform just now.
