Chapter 306: The Game (6)
The first picture that appeared in the mobile phone video was the living room where Lu Yu and the four of them were just now.
The camera turns, the picture shakes a few times, and you can see the bright balcony. The balcony is still closed by wooden planks.
The voiceover sounded loud, and it was a voice that Lu Yu and the others were all familiar with.
I only heard Xie Xuanrong ask, "What's going on on the balcony here?" ”
"The owner wanted to make the balcony closed and it was still being remodeled. If you're not satisfied, you can tear it down later. The voice that answered Xie Xuanrong sounded familiar.
As soon as the camera turned, he photographed the butler who greeted the four people before.
The housekeeper kept talking and introduced the area and structure of the house.
This video seems to be the housekeeper taking Xie Xuanrong to see the house.
Xie Xuanrong said his willingness to buy a house, and after taking pictures of the living room for a while, he put down his mobile phone.
The mobile phone camera swept over Xie Xuanrong's face.
The conversation between the two was also temporarily suspended.
"Did you hear anything?" Xie Xuanrong asked nervously.
The camera stays in pitch black. It should be that after Xie Xuanrong put down his phone, the camera stuck to his clothes.
"Nope." The butler replied, "This is the bedroom." "He wanted to continue to introduce the house.
Suddenly, the phone moved violently, as if someone had been thrown to the ground.
Xie Xuanrong let out an exclamation.
The picture is still, still pitch black. This time it should have landed on the ground, and the camera was close to the floor.
The footsteps of the butler lingered around the phone.
"Xie, Mr. Xie?" He asked with a shudder, his steps becoming hurried and distant.
The sound of the door opening and closing sounded.
That's it for the video.
"Wow, Ah Rong, you have good acting skills." Leon praised and laughed.
There was a knocking sound on the bed next to it.
The other three laughed too.
"The meaning of this video is that Ah Rong came here to see a house, to see a murderous house, and then he was killed. We should have come here to save him after hearing from him. Wang Jia analyzed, and asked at the bed, "Isn't it, Ah Rong?" ”
There was another impatient knock from under the bed.
The four laughed again.
Lu Yu smiled absent-mindedly.
If so, what is the first room, that is, what happened in the living room at the beginning? And the bedroom they entered next, what do the photos belonging to Xie Xuanrong and the headless video in the computer represent?
Lu Yu felt that this script was a bit abrupt.
However, that opening may just be to create a terrifying atmosphere, and it may just be to scare and scare players like them.
"We know the story." Wang Jia said again, "What should I do next?" ”
"You must have investigated this room first, right?" Leon took two steps and observed the bedroom.
This bedroom is somewhat similar to the previous one, with a slightly different style of furniture and a missing computer.
A few people rummaged through the cupboard and studied the wardrobe.
Fang Xiaotian rummaged through the clothes in the closet, and felt the pockets of each piece of clothing.
Lu Yu was on the side to help.
"Here are some newspapers. There are also videotapes. Wang Jia was the first to find something in the desk.
"Let's go outside and watch the tape." Leon said, putting the dictionary back in his hand and closing the door to the bookcase.
The four returned to the living room.
There is a video player in the TV cabinet in the living room.
All four of them had only seen this kind of machine at a very young age, and now they needed to study it to operate it. Luckily, these machines are used in much the same way.
Wang Jia found the button and withdrew the original tape from the video recorder.
"What's this strap?" Fang Xiaotian asked.
"It should be the news that was put before." Lu Yu said, "The news that was released before was the news from many years ago. ”
They put the tape aside for the time being.
The tape that Wang Jia found was stuffed into a video recorder and played on TV.
What they didn't expect was that the tape was not a video shot by someone, but a news video.
At first glance, it was fake news filmed by the store, and a case was broadcast.
“…… The four deceased were the owner and his wife, their daughter and grandson......"
"This is the first case in the background of the story, right?" Fang Xiaotian said.
The screen is switched, and it is still the scene of news broadcasting.
“…… The deceased was a family of three, and not long after they moved into their new house, they were hit by disaster......"
"If we received Ah Rong's call for help and came here to find Ah Rong, then we shouldn't know that this house is a murderous house." Wang Jia said suddenly.
The background of the story introduced by the butler should have been one of the clues they found here.
Lu Yu felt that weirdness in his heart again.
Is this a loophole in the script? Maybe it's a gimmick, so the store did a magic show-like plot introduction at the beginning. Now it seems that the wonderful performance was a snake and ruined the original content of the script.
Thinking like this, Lu Yu saw the third piece of news playing on the TV.
The content of the news is naturally the suicide of a child that happened later. The deceased was the first discoverer in the first case.
"Let's take a look at the tape just now. Maybe there's a clue too. Fang Xiaotian said.
Wang Jia is as good as a stream.
However, the four did not find any clues in the real news video just now.
"And these newspapers." Wang Jia took out the newspaper he found again.
The content of the newspaper was also prepared by the store, and among the many fake news, there were reports about the three cases of the murder house.
"That's the background." Fang Xiaotian said boringly.
"It's a circle here." Leon pointed out the traces in the newspapers.
The fenced off place is the analysis of the facts of the first case. Among them, the husband who was the most suspect was marked with a pen.
"These things may have been collected by the child's family." Wang Jia said.
It is not difficult to make such an inference. The only thing that didn't appear in the report was the third case of revenge and suicide that the housekeeper said.
"We've got a room we haven't been in." Fang Xiaotian had already shifted his attention.
Wang Jia also put down the newspapers.
The room they hadn't been to was left with another bedroom.
Obviously, room 103 is a one-bedroom house, and room 104 here is a two-bedroom house.
The doors to both bedrooms, which they had tried to open before, had failed. It wasn't until they hung the two dummies on the clothes pole that one of the doors opened.
"The lock doesn't open here." Fang Xiaotian tried again in vain.
"There must be clues here, there may be a key that we haven't found." Wang Jia returned to the bedroom.
"Didn't Ah Rong pick up a bunch of keys before?" Leon said, bending down and talking to the bed, "Ah Rong, where is the key you picked up earlier?" ”
There was no sound under the bed.
Leon tapped on the bedboard, but still didn't get a response.
"You can't pass out in there, right? Can you breathe in it? Fang Xiaotian asked worriedly.
"What do you want? If he couldn't breathe, Ah Rong would have struggled a long time ago. Li Ang said helplessly.
"It was probably while we were watching the footage that he ran somewhere else. There's another room here. Wang Jia said.
They still have room 105 that they haven't been to at all.
Fang Xiaotian breathed a sigh of relief.
The four of them rummaged through the room again.
Lu Yu observed the bookcase very carefully, and soon made a discovery.
"This book ......," she pulled out a heavy book from her bookcase.
The other three people suddenly gathered.
The book opened normally, but it was hollowed out in the middle, hiding another booklet.
"How did you find that?" Leon asked in surprise.
He had rummaged through the bookcase for a long time, but he hadn't found it.
"Everything else is a child's book, but this one is the Bible, or the original." Lu Yu explained.
Sandwiched between supplementary books, children's books, and a selection of young people's classics, this Bible will be discovered if you pay close attention.
Leon used to think that there would be secrets hidden in those tomes of dictionaries, but he didn't expect the secrets to be hidden in this book that didn't belong to this.
He gave a thumbs up and gestured to Lu Yu.
Lu Yu laughed.
Wang Jia and Fang Xiaotian had already checked the booklet at this time.
"This seems to be some kind of cult propaganda." Wang Jia said.
Lu Yu and Li Ang also leaned over to read.
The content of the pamphlet, as Wang Jia said, was for the purpose of promoting a certain religion.
The deity enshrined in this religion is called Almighty God, which is quite literally "omnipotent".
There are five great oracles under his seat, just like the traditional theory of the five elements, corresponding to the five abilities, as well as their own animal incarnations in the human world.
Finally, the booklet was printed with a hymn praising God Almighty and the five oracles of God Almighty.
"What the hell is this?" Leon was speechless.
"So, the family believed in a cult, so they killed that husband?" Wang Jia said.
"Not quite right......" Lu Yu said hesitantly.
"This must have something to do with the room next door." Leon is very pragmatic and not very interested in the storyline.
"That door has a pattern on it." Lu Yu recalled.
The four of them hurriedly went to the next room.
There was a carved pattern on the wooden door.
"There's actually one here." Leon pulled the bedroom door that had been opened.
"It's different." Lu Yu said.
The other three took a closer look.
The carvings on the doors of the two rooms are indeed different.
In the middle of the locked door was a strange humanoid carving.
Wang Jia stretched out his hand and pressed it, and found that the pattern was a mechanism that could be pressed.
But when I pressed it like this, the door didn't open.
"This should be the almighty god, and it has five oracles. Five animals ......," Wang Jia said.
Leon slapped his head, "That's right." ”
As soon as he turned around, he went into the bedroom and found a fairy tale book "The Fox and the Crow" in the middle bookcase.
He reached out to pull the book out, but failed. Instead of pushing, he moved the book a few centimeters forward with a force of his fingers.
There was a soft click from behind the book, indicating that the mechanism had been touched.
When the three people who hurriedly followed saw this scene, their eyes became busy, trying to find other titles related to animals.
"Fox...... Horses, cranes, tigers, bears, ......," Wang Jia read the names of the animals written in the booklet.
"There's one in the closet just now!" Lu Yu had a flash of inspiration and ran to the closet.
She found a T-shirt in her closet, which had a white crane on it.
"There's no way there's a mechanism on your clothes, right?" Fang Xiaotian said.
Lu Yu's hands rubbed on the hanger, and he quickly found the mechanism and twisted the interface of the hanger.
There was also a clicking sound in the hanger, like some button had been touched.
"Is this okay?" Fang Xiaotian was surprised.
The four of them already had a clear idea of decryption at this time.
They searched the room.
There are tiger ornaments in the living room; Bottles of shower gel with horse heads in the restrooms; In the kitchen, there are pots and pans with the bear's head logo.
Each pattern has a trap. It may be that the store has hidden the wireless switch in those props.
After all five switches were turned on, Wang Jia pressed the carving of the human figure on the door, and the door was immediately unlocked.
"That's it!" Wang Jia said excitedly.
All four were excited.
The joy of successfully solving the puzzle was frozen when I saw the scene behind the door.
Behind the door was a faint red light.
The eerie red glow gives a sense of foreboding.
When the door was opened, the horn, which still didn't know where it was hiding, made a sound of "squeak-" and a yin wind howling.
The lights in the other rooms were all turned off, except for the balcony, where the three suspended dummies left some shadows on the floor.
"What is this...... Fang Xiaotian said uneasily, hugging Lu Yu.
Or two men leading the way.
This new room, full of spooky objects.
The walls are painted with horrific pictures, and the carpets on the floor are also with strange patterns.
At the height of the red light, there was an ugly Buddha statue, which looked similar to the human shape printed on the door, more like a monster than a human. Cigarette smoke wafts in front of the Buddha statue. Five animals are hung around the Buddha statue.
Wang Jia and Li Ang quickly adapted to this environment and rummaged around.
The first thing they found was a lot of material on their desks.
"The people here seem to be studying all kinds of witchcraft, all kinds of curses......" Wang Jia looked at the information.
Li Ang turned on the flashlight function of his mobile phone and shone on a delicately made doll on the table.
He picked up the doll and played with it, but found no clues.
Wang Jia said beside him: "That doll is used to destroy resentful spirits. Can transfer spirits to dolls. As he spoke, he handed the information in his hand to Li Ang.
Fang Xiaotian didn't dare to move.
Lu Yu turned on the flashlight function in his mobile phone and looked around.
The two women suddenly screamed in fright.
The cry also startled the two men.
"There's someone over there!" Fang Xiaotian pointed to the corner of the room and said with a crying voice.
"Isn't it Ah Rong?" Leon sighed.
"It's not!" Fang Xiaotian said anxiously.
Li Ang hurriedly took a picture of his mobile phone.
Where the light converged, the four of them saw two figures kneeling in the corner.
Wang Jia walked over boldly, and after seeing the two figures there clearly, he turned around and smiled: "It's a dummy." ”
Fang Xiaotian and Lu Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
"These two are old men." Wang Jia continued.
Li Ang stepped forward and investigated the two dummies with Wang Jia.
"Isn't it the old couple? The murderer's father-in-law? Fang Xiaotian asked.
Lu Yu looked at it curiously, and also wanted to go over to take a look, but was stopped by Fang Xiaotian.
"It should be. Ah, this ......," Wang Jia found two necklaces and two amulets on the two dummies, "they should believe in this almighty god." ”
As Wang Jia's words fell, the horn in the room sounded.
The sudden sound startled the four of them again.
The voice is like a conversation between an elderly couple.
They were muttering something, which soon turned into prayer again.
“…… Almighty God bless ......"
“…… Almighty God apparition ......"
The small, uncomfortable sounds soon ended.
Lu Yu put his mind at ease, "So, is it that this old couple believes in a cult?" ”
Fang Xiaotian nodded vigorously, "It's definitely true." ”
"We should find a way to get to the next room, right?" Leon said.
"Hurry up and find it, I don't want to stay here." Fang Xiaotian urged.
Wang Jia and Fang Xiaotian also turned on the flashlight function of their mobile phones.
Fang Xiaotian kept holding on to Lu Yu, but he no longer stood at the door.
Together, the four of them search for clues in this strange room.
