Chapter 329: Secret Room (2)
What appears on the TV is a well-shot video. No one showed their faces, Li Yun and they could only see the figures of a man and a woman appear in the camera. The two stood facing each other, and the sound of an argument ensued.
What are the two arguing about, Li Yun can't understand, they are speaking in a foreign language, not any language that Li Yun is familiar with, it sounds more like the actor is talking nonsense, similar to chanting mantras in ghost movies.
After the argument, a violent physical altercation broke out between the two and they scuffled together. As the two figures moved, some additional images were revealed. Li Yun saw the living room, and also saw a few shadows in the living room.
Li Yun's heart froze, and his first reaction was the supernatural phenomenon he had seen before.
However, those shadows were only real shadows, and the voices other than the man and the woman came, and the tone was persuasive, and the shadows also moved.
"It's like surveillance." Cao Yunfan suddenly spoke.
"The monitoring position is not in the ......," Yi looked at the camera installed in the corner of the ceiling of the room, puzzled.
"It should be the surveillance installed by this detective." Cao Yunfan explained.
"Oh, yes, it's a voyeur ......" Yi Xin suddenly realized.
According to the script of this game, the surveillance camera installed by Detective Hao Shi should be in a hidden position, otherwise how could Takeda rely on those cameras to spy on his wife?
The figures on the TV are out of the camera, and only the sound of arguments and scuffles continues. All that remains in the shot is the view of the living room. On the coffee table that occupies a corner of the lens, there are several teacups, and the specific number of them is not confirmed, but it cannot be confirmed because the coffee table has not been photographed in all. On the other side, on the wall where you can photograph, there is a clock with a calendar function.
"Wait! This date and time ......" Cao Yunfan's eyes lit up and looked at the wall.
There is nothing on the walls. The clock is gone.
"The teacups are about the same." Xue Xiaolian is a careful person, looking at the TV screen, and then looking at the coffee table, and made a comparison.
In the still picture, another shadow appeared.
This time, the shadow is long, as if it is growing.
Li Yun was ready to observe, but was disappointed to find that the growing shadow was just a five-cent special effect.
"Looks like there's a ghost." Cao Yunfan said, "This is a ghost story." ”
With Cao Yunfan's words, the video playback ended, and the TV screen turned into a blue screen.
"Let's set the date and time." Cao Yunfan said with full experience.
There's a lot of information in the video, and one of the pieces of information they can start working on right now is the date and time indicated in the video.
"What was that date and time?" Cao Yunfan scratched his head.
He has a good logical mind and seems to have an average short-term memory.
"Can you play it again?" Yi Xin said and picked up the TV remote control.
Xue Xiaolian took out the walkie-talkie, "I remember, it was 10:31 a.m. on April 4. As she spoke, she had already contacted Xiaojun.
The small army on the other end of the walkie-talkie may be staring at the surveillance, ready to be called.
As soon as the walkie-talkie was turned on, Xue Xiaolian asked a question, and Xiaojun answered.
"Today is April 4th, in the morning...... Mr. Takeda's agreed time was in the afternoon, and Hao Shi passed in the afternoon, and when he passed, there was no one in the room. ”
In other words, it is possible that after the quarrel, Takeda took everyone out of the house and gave Hao Shizhuang time to monitor.
It's just that, as a clue to the game, this is clearly not right. Clues shouldn't be used that way. It may be that they don't have enough information now to ask this point, or maybe this clue will play a role later.
Cao Yunfan asked other questions.
The people who appear in the video are not only Takeda and his wife, but also other people.
On this point, Xiaojun is not clear. They were only commissioned by Takeda to investigate his wife, and they had only been on the move for a long time, and they didn't have time to investigate the Takeda couple's personal circle.
Li Yun is not so interested in games. Someone took on the task of deciphering the secrets, and Li Yun put all his mind on finding the supernatural phenomenon just now.
If it weren't for Cao Yunfan here, he would definitely open the door directly and chase after him.
Considering the safety of Cao Yunfan, an ordinary person, Li Yun did not act rashly.
In addition, the monitoring in the room also made Li Yun have some scruples. The bosses and employees here may not be able to see those supernatural phenomena, but they will definitely be able to see Li Yun's strange behavior. Li Yun didn't want to make a fuss.
Li Yun carefully felt the place across the door.
As when the door was opened before, Li Yun's five senses did not receive any message, that is, he did not feel anything: he did not see anything, did not smell anything, and did not hear any sound. It's pretty much the same as when the door was opened. At that time, he only felt a little subtle atmosphere in an instant, like an extremely light sound, so light that his brain didn't react, and his body had already subconsciously behaved and looked in the direction of the sound.
But at this moment, Li Yun didn't feel anything.
“…… The camera must be in this position......"
Cao Yunfan and Yi Xin carefully compared the video and found the shooting angle.
The two of them looked bored, but they didn't expect them to find something.
According to the shooting angle, the camera should be hidden in the floor lamp. This is also where they find the key.
"I see." Cao Yunfan analyzed, "This is how the key should be found, not our carpet search." ”
Yi Xin looked at Cao Yunfan with admiration and raised a smile, "In this case, everything in this room should be all found, and we should go to the next room." ”
"Hmm." Cao Yunfan nodded, and sorted out all the props he found before and carried them with him.
He also ran back and forth when the time came, so as to avoid omissions.
Cao Yunfan looked at the notebook casually and said "Huh" in surprise.
Yi Xin immediately leaned over to take a look.
Xue Xiaolian also stopped.
Li Yun had no choice but to stop.
"There is a word here, it should be this detective ......," Cao Yunfan said sympathetically, showing the page after the room layout to the other three.
The page was written in large red letters: "Run! ”
The handwriting is very elegant, as if it can reveal the fear of the writer.
Li Yun didn't feel afraid.
He is like this, and so are Xue Xiaolian and Cao Yunfan. Only Yi Xin, pretending to be scared, grabbed Cao Yunfan's sleeve.
"This information may have been left for Xiaojun." Cao Yunfan turned two more pages, "Or someone else......"
His voice paused, and he showed the notebook to the others.
On that page, there is handwriting, but this time the handwriting is incomplete, a word "rescue", the right half is crooked, and the horizontal drag is long, like someone in an extremely bad situation, difficult to write this word.
This character is not yet written in red paint, not a "blood book".
Cao Yunfan didn't take it seriously, but Li Yun and Xue Xiaolian looked at each other, Yi Xin's eyes flickered, and in the end they didn't say anything, still looking scared.
This word is obviously not part of the game anymore.
Li Yun realized that this was a message left by a certain soul. It is very likely that it is the man Li Yun has seen, he can speak, he can hand photos, and now he can write, which is not surprising.
But if he could write, he didn't write down the number "78" that he had been chanting, but instead wrote "save...... Is it a cry for help? He's been begging for help. Although he didn't say it explicitly, all his actions ......
Li Yun's eyes widened when he thought of this.
Is that really a call for help?
That man's previous actions can be interpreted as a plea for help, or as revenge, right? Li Yun has always regarded those numbers as clues to the location of the crime, and he never thought that he could save that man. The man was undoubtedly completely dead, and had become a doll, perhaps in a state of captivity, but that mutilated soul could not be rescued at all. At least, Li Yun had no way to save that kind of soul. The power of the boss he can rely on seems to be a destructive force, and he doesn't have any healing power.
Li Yun thought a lot for a while.
This word may also represent other situations. For example, the word may not have been written by the man; It may also be that the man wrote it, proving that he could say more.
No matter what it represents, Li Yun can't find a solution for the time being.
Cao Yunfan carefully looked at the entire notebook and found no clues.
"Alright, let's go." Cao Yunfan still took the notebook with him.
Li Yun came back to his senses, took the lead, and walked towards the door.
Cao Yunfan looked at Li Yun's back and felt that he had a somewhat eccentric temperament.
Everyone originally got together by chance and played a game, Cao Yunfan and Li Yun were not familiar with each other, so they only heard Yi Xin's introduction, Li Yun was her cousin. The relationship between Cao Yunfan and Yi Xin has not been determined, and there are several layers of separation for this "cousin".
Cao Yunfan had some regrets in his heart.
With such a combination of two men and two women, playing a secret room game, the man should take on more game tasks. It's good now, he has undertaken most of the decryption work, Yi Xin is ironclad can't help, and the other woman, Xue Xiaolian's ability to act is good, but Cao Yunfan feels that she is not a good game partner. That kind of linear thinking, and the practice of directly asking for help at every turn, doesn't match Cao Yunfan's game habits.
For a while, Cao Yunfan felt that the game itself was not interesting.
He glanced at Yi Xin beside him.
Yi Xin was still pinching the corner of his clothes, holding his breath and staring, guarding against the appearance of a monster from behind the door.
Cao Yunfan has a good impression of Yi Xin. The two are not friends, and it is impossible to jump directly to the love stage. He had the heart to try to get along with Yi Xin.
Since the game is no fun, it is better to spend your mind on the girls.
Li Yun doesn't do anything, he can do more decryption work, and it will also make Yi Xin have a deeper impression of him, right? It's just a game, but it looks smart and reliable......
Click, squeak-
Li Yun opened the door.
He felt a cool breeze blowing through the crack in the door.
The walkie-talkie that Xue Xiaolian was carrying suddenly made a rustling noise, as if Xiaojun on the other end of the walkie-talkie took the initiative to contact him.
Xue Xiaolian glanced down at the walkie-talkie.
She and Li Yun turned their heads at the same time.
Cao Yunfan was thinking about the mess in his heart, and was startled by the two of them looking at him like this. He quickly realized that the two were not looking at him.
Xue Xiaolian didn't have any expression on her face, but Li Yun's face was a little dignified.
Cao Yunfan turned his head along their line of sight.
Cao Yunfan saw that there was a person standing in front of the door they came in.
A man he didn't know at all, and he had a pale face that was different from ordinary people. His expression was numb, and his body posture was also extremely strange, and his limbs seemed to be hanging in the air, without strength. His head was slightly bowed, and his neck formed a curve.
This man seemed to be suspended in the air by an invisible thread.
Cao Yunfan wanted to admire the high level of the NPCs in this game, but soon, a chill arose in his heart.
He instinctively felt that something was very wrong with this person who suddenly appeared.
The man stood motionless, as if a long time had passed, and as if nothing had passed.
Cao Yunfan saw that the man's body was shocked, and he slowly raised his eyes. Blood and tears flowed from his eyes. His lips squirmed, and he didn't make a sound. The tiny shape of his mouth made it impossible to tell what he was saying. But a word popped up in Cao Yunfan's mind out of thin air, which was the word he had just seen in his notebook.
"Save".
An incomplete word.
When the man finished doing this, it was as if he had lost all his strength and his body went limp.
He fell to the ground, but he didn't really fall to the ground.
On the floor, there was a pile of unrecognizable fragments, which looked like rags and broken wood.
Cao Yunfan was completely stunned.
"What is this? Magic? Projection? Cao Yunfan muttered.
Li Yun took the first step, and had already rushed to the place where the man had appeared, crouching down to check the debris on the ground.
It's a fragment of a doll.
Li Yun made a judgment.
He had a slight regret in his heart.
He hadn't found the man yet, and the man was gone, and even the last remnants of his soul and the carrier of his imprisoned soul were gone.
A man's plea for help......
Li Yun's heart jumped.
He inexplicably thought of the previous experience of being in a coma.
The assailant he saw, the two victim students......
Li Yun stood up and returned to the door in three or two steps.
Cao Yunfan had no idea what was going on. His eyes ran after Li Yun, wanting to ask something, and he caught a glimpse of Yi Xin's ugly face.
Yi Xin has a lot of swear words rushing in his heart.
knew that with Li Yun's trouble, things would not go well. She is also too confident, she has the heart to say goodbye to Li Yun, and she also has the heart to test Li Yun's ability. It's just that she didn't expect Li Yun to encounter this kind of unlucky thing without taking action to destroy her budding relationship.
Cao Yunfan just wouldn't have thought that she was a monster, and now he had to doubt Li Yun's identity and mental condition. With such a cousin here, Yi Xin itself will become a trouble that Cao Yunfan can't avoid.
After all, the two have just met, and they just want to develop a relationship, but they can't afford to go through this kind of test.
Yi Xin's face changed several times, and he had no intention of pretending in front of Cao Yunfan.
The suspicion in Cao Yunfan's heart expanded, and when he looked at Li Yun again, he saw that Li Yun had completely pushed open the door and found the light switch.
The moment from darkness to light, the eyes are irritated, and the brain has no time to process the image, but the image remains on the retina.
Cao Yunfan's brain, which was impossible to react, reacted after a second.
He realized that he had seen a murder in that moment.
He saw the man he had just seen holding a belt and strangling another strange middle-aged man.
The screen flashed.
Cao Yunfan blinked, and saw that under the light, there was no expected room, but a corridor. There are murals hanging in the corridors, all of which are dark in the style of painting, depicting one murder scene after another.
Cao Yunfan looked at the corridor, then at Li Yun, only hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "I seem to have seen something just now...... Did you see that? ”
