Chapter 61: The Secret in the Old Man's Study

Chen Jing's idea is very simple.

He just had to get Baiaji to cooperate with the manipulation of the four corpses, and make them walk around the house a few more times to leave more clues about their visit to the old mansion, and then ......

I'm afraid it's going to be very lively on the guild's side.

"Aji, you let them stand next to them first, and wait for me to mop the ground."

Chen Jing found two thick towels in the coal shed outside the door, although they looked a little dilapidated and even rotten out of a few holes, they were still washed clean, as if they had not been stained with any dust.

This is supposed to have been left behind when the old lady was still there.

She's the only one who's so clean.

"It's good that I didn't go into the back room, just walked a few steps in the living room, otherwise it would have been a lot of work......"

Chen Jing carefully picked up the towel, wrapped it around his feet to wrap his two shoes, and then picked up the mop again, and then re-entered the gate of the old mansion in full gear.

Starting from the entrance in his memory, to every place he stayed, Chen Jing dragged back and forth several times with a mop dipped in rainwater.

After making sure that there was nothing missing after the scene was processed, Chen Jing raised his hand to throw the mop outside the door, and then motioned to Bai Aji with his eyes and let it start "working".

At this moment, Chen Jing couldn't help but stretch lazily.

It's only been a few hours.

I was so tired that I felt like I hadn't slept for a day and a night.

"It's time to get down to business......" Chen Jing turned his head to look at the study with the door closed, and without the slightest hesitation, he raised his foot and walked in that direction.

It was the only room in the old mansion that wasn't opened by Smith.

The pork's liver-coloured wooden door had many marks that resembled coal-like smears, which must have been left by the old man not long ago.

Maybe that's why Smith couldn't find the entrance to the study.

"Messy ......"

Chen Jing stood outside the door of the study, raising his hand to touch these black marks.

But after thinking about it, he took his hand back again.

He was afraid of leaving fingerprints.

Now.

The four corpses that were manipulated by Bai Aji stood behind Chen Jing.

They are not the same as they were at the beginning.

There were many strange black markings on the skin, and the whites of the eyes were almost invisible, becoming as clear as black gems.

Among the four corpses, the most obvious change is Zhou Guojian.

Because his body had been eroded by the poison in Baiaji's saliva.

The whole body looked a little bloated.

As Zhou Guojian's corpse walked, Chen Jing could even hear the chilling sound of water swaying back and forth in his body.

Although Chen Jing was not afraid of corpses, nor was he afraid that these ghost things would suddenly attack him, he saw these four things standing behind him...... Chen Jing always felt a little unhappy in his heart, and he didn't feel very lucky.

"Don't come in!"

Chen Jing saw Bai Aji poking his brain at the door, as if he couldn't help but run into the house curiously at any time, and hurriedly stopped it.

"The house is small, I can't stand your toss, you wait for me outside the door!"

"Whew!"

Bai Aji seemed to be a little aggrieved, but Chen Jing couldn't care about appeasing him at this time, he had more important things to do.

Settle down.

Chen Jing took out the key that the old man gave him from his pocket.

It was taken from an iron box in the grave.

In terms of feelings, Chen Jing feels that the importance of this thing is probably no worse than the video in the DV camera.

Inserting the key into the lockhole, Chen Jing glanced back at Smith's corpse.

Although he didn't say anything, Bai Aji, who was standing outside the house, clearly understood what he meant.

Soon, Smith's corpse stepped forward, like a marionette, manipulating Baiaji to complete a series of actions from twisting the key to opening the door.

The moment the door opened, there was a burning smell.

Chen Jing hurriedly looked inside.

Growing up, he was curious about this airtight room.

After all, with that paranoid old man here, Chen Jing had never had a chance to sneak in, not even a chance to stand at the door and take a look.

Until today.

He had a chance to take a closer look at what secrets were hidden in this room......

"It's ...... Fire? Chen Jing muttered in disbelief, the study in front of him was like a ruin scorched by a fire.

walls, floors, ceilings.

It was all burned to black.

The furniture was burned to the ground.

The ground was a blinding white ash.

Seeing that there was nothing empty in the study, Chen Jing felt that he must have been deceived by the old man.

The study is all broken like this, and you are still so mysterious?!

What the hell do you think, old man?!

Chen Jing sighed in disappointment.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, it seemed like he had seen something......

There's something on the side of the threshold.

and put it on the ground.

It was only twenty centimeters away from him, and it would be touched by a slight lift of his foot.

"Shouldn't there be that stele hidden in the study...... How is this thing ......" Chen Jing frowned and looked at the brown paper envelope on the ground, and many question marks appeared in his head.

The envelope on the ground is made of the most ordinary kraft paper.

But it seemed to contain more than just stationery, as if there was something else in the bulge.

Chen Jing hesitated for a moment, but finally let Bai Aji manipulate Smith's corpse and pick up the envelope and hand it to him.

It's always right to be careful.

The envelope contained a folded piece of stationery and a key.

"The key again?"

Chen Jing was quite surprised and took out the brass key with his fingers, and after a little look, he felt that it didn't seem to be much different from an ordinary key.

It's the length of the palm of your hand.

The front section is round like a copper rod, and there are irregular serrations at the top.

As for the tail of the key......

It is a hollow carved pattern.

I don't know if it's Chen Jing's illusion, no matter how he looks at this key, he feels familiar, and he always feels that he has seen it somewhere not long ago.

"Why is this pattern so familiar...... "Chen Jing muttered as he turned the key left and right, racking his brains to try to recall, "It seems to be ...... Hiss! ”

Suddenly, Chen Jing gasped.

He subconsciously took off the backpack behind his back and put it on his chest, and then unzipped it and took out the Yellow King Holy Grail from the bag......

How come these two things have the same pattern?!

Chen Jing looked at the key in his hand in disbelief, and then at the raised totem patterns on the surface of the Yellow King's Holy Grail.

"This thing...... Is it also a relic??? ”

Just when Chen Jing was puzzled, the light curtain that was closed and closed appeared without warning.
