My nostrils were instantly filled with the smell of fragrance and the musty smell of the room, and the smell made my stomach churn unpleasantly.

But it's strange to say.

There was no one else in the old mansion at all, and the only woman was Dongjing.

I admit that when I was very close to her, she did have a faint fragrance on her.

But it's definitely not this kind of nospering scent.

I held back the churning in my stomach and began to look everywhere for the origin of the smell.

But we had already walked all over the second floor, and there was no woman in sight.

"Or shall we go up a level and have a look?" I propose.

Dong Jing was going to agree, but just as we were about to go upstairs, she found a secret room at the bottom of the stairs.

"Wen Jie, you come here to have a look first."

She reached out and grabbed me, and I didn't get used to the force and crashed into her.

The softness of her body made my brain lose thinking for a moment, and only a blank space remained.

But soon, I came to my senses.

She was naturally aware of it, but instead of scolding like before, she blushed and pretended that nothing had happened.

Together, we opened the chamber, and there was nothing but a layer of dust.

Dong Jing had a strong flashlight in his hand, and under the illumination of the light source, I found a small dark compartment at the top of the secret room.

"Look at it." I pointed to the location of the secret compartment, and there was a small box stuck between the staircase and the roof of the chamber.

The roof of this place is high, and even though I am 1.8 meters, I can't reach the small wooden box.

"I'll hold you, you reach for it."

I didn't discuss it with her, but just picked her up.

"Ahh

She was obviously unprepared, and suddenly let out an exclamation. But soon, she calmed down.

There is an old saying that men and women are not tired of working together.

She reached out and hooked the wooden box.

The wooden box broke when it fell to the ground, and there was a gold coin inside, which looked like it was pure gold, and it was still engraved with words.

"It's written like a bug, and I can't read it."

Dong Jing gave me the gold coin in his hand, and I didn't understand it after looking at it, so I put it in my pocket casually.

I crouched down to look at the broken wooden box on the floor, it was moldy from the moisture.

Strangely, in the north, this dry weather should not be wet.

The light source of Dongjing shone on my side, and I realized that there were also words on the wooden board.

After piecing it together, the above line of words came into our eyes.

"Whoever opens the box will die."

"What is this?!"

I looked back at Dong Jing standing behind me, her eyes equally fearful.

Dong Jing's voice trembled a little: "The words on the gold coin just now, could it be a trickery in Southeast Asia?" ”

Her words reminded me that during my studies, I did have a little bit of research on similar tricks.

This is an ancient curse, similar to the lowering of the head.

But this one gold coin and the wooden box alone don't mean anything at all, and we have to find more evidence.

I have begun to wonder in my heart whether the people who once lived in this old mansion have witchcraft.

Fortunately, Dong Jing discovered this secret room, and we got useful information.

So now I'm not in a hurry to go upstairs, but I'm going to re-survey here.

In the last room in the hallway on the second floor, I found a letter in the dresser.

The words on the letter are the same as those on the gold coin, which are crooked and twisted words in the shape of small insects.

For us, this is simply incomprehensible.

I put the letter away and went up to the third floor.

The third floor of this house is not the top floor, and there is a small balcony above the third floor.

The closer you get to the third floor, the stronger the smell of spices becomes.

I don't know if it's my psychological effect, but after listening to the homeless man say that there was something like hair wrapped around him, I always felt that there was something around my neck.

I reached out and touched it a few times, but I didn't notice it, so I moved on.

Dong Jing followed behind me, and I held the peachwood sword my cousin had given me in my hand and kept walking forward.

At this time, the wind blew open the window of the corridor on the third floor, and I don't know if it was strong or if there was a real sound, but when it reached my ears, I always felt like a woman crying.

"Did you hear that?" I didn't look back, but there was only Dong Jing behind me, and she must have known that I was talking to him.

After waiting for a long time to hear her answer, I looked back and saw that she was no longer behind me.

I was so frightened that my entire back was soaked in cold sweat in an instant, and when the wind blew, a chill rushed from my tail bone directly to my scalp, and I got goosebumps all over my body.

When I was sweeping the house, I was most afraid of this kind of thing, walking and walking, and suddenly there was one less person.

So we all have a tacit understanding, and whenever we want to leave the team, we will say it in advance.

Dong Jing is not the kind of person who does not explain, I am already making up in my mind, whether she was captured by something.

But in this house, there are no nervous monsters, not even a weasel, and this kind of thing doesn't happen under normal circumstances.

"Dongjing?"

I shouted softly, but she didn't get a response.

I panicked a little, and I didn't know whether to keep going or go downstairs to find my cousin.

Before I could think about it, I heard someone calling in front of me.

Although the person who called me was also a woman's voice, it was clearly not her.

"Wen Jie, come here."

Seeing that I didn't respond, the voice said again: "Where am I, Wen Jie?" ”

I frowned, my eardrums could hear my heartbeat.

After thinking about it for a while, I decided to go back, and when I found my cousin on the first floor, I could go with him to Dong Jing again.

But after walking two steps, I heard the sound of mahjong playing.

A room in front of me was lit up, and there was the sound of men and women frolicking in it.

My scalp tingled instantly, and I knew the situation of this old mansion, except for the homeless man who had been here for the last week, no one was here all year round.

So what is in front of you must not be real, but an illusion!

I just fell into a fantasy world a while ago, and the situation is familiar to me, but I also know that I need to get out of real life as soon as possible.

"Wen Jie?!"

Dong Jing's voice came to my ears, and this time I was sure it had to be her.

I have two ways to get out of here as soon as possible.

Either you use child urine, or you want to break the tip of your tongue.

In the end, I chose to break the tip of my tongue and spit it out with saliva.

That's what brought me back to reality.

My ears were silent in an instant, and only the silence in front of me remained.
