In addition to the broken stones and cement, there were also a lot of scattered debris and dust falling down.
Something fell from above his head and Xin dodged subconsciously.
When I looked down again, I found an old photo album on the ground.
The pink cover has faded due to wind and frost, but the flowers pressed with film on the cover are still clearly visible.
Xin jumped down from the chair and pointed to the attic above his head: "Does anyone want to go up and take a look?"
Xia Chi thought for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Brother, are you going up?"
Xin glanced at the curtains, and they had returned to normal without him noticing, and the figure had disappeared: "I will definitely go up."
Xia Chi: "Then I'll go up too. I'll be honest. I'm afraid, but I'm really curious, okay?"
The young man also nodded: "I want to go up and take a look, too."
"Are you all going up?" The girl glanced at the three of them and grabbed the young man's arm, "Then I want to go up too."
Xin had already bent down to pick up the album that had fallen on the ground. "Then move a few more stools and tables, and build a more stable ladder."
He casually flipped through an old photo album, and the first photo was a wedding photo.
A man and a woman appeared in the photo, the young woman was sitting in the front with a sweet smile on her face, and behind her stood a young man with a proper posture.
The man was wearing a pair of glasses and looked very gentle. He looked about 60% similar to the young man.
The woman was wearing a white wedding dress and the man was wearing a suit that looked a little ill-fitting.
The photo was taken a long time ago and is in black and white.
The others came over curiously, and Xin looked at the young man: "Are these your grandparents?"
The young man stared at the photo, his tone a little hesitant, "I'm not sure, I haven't seen any photos of my grandfather when he was young."
"But I asked my grandfather about my grandmother's photo, and he said that our family was poor and they didn't have any photos taken."
Xia Chi: "Isn't it here? How could it not have been photographed? Look at the man in the picture, he looks so much like you, he must be your grandfather. Why would he lie to you and say there is no photo?"
"Maybe it's because of the sad scene?" The girl guessed, "If I feel sad every time I see the photo of my lover, I might also seal the photo."
"But this conflicts with your previous description and is illogical," Xia Chi shook his head and asked, "Sealing things away is to forget someone, but his grandfather has been waiting for his grandmother to come back, so he doesn't want to forget. Isn't this a contradiction?"
The girl hesitated for two seconds: "Then... maybe it's not to seal the memory, but that memory is too happy, it belongs to him, he doesn't want to share it with others, so he hides it secretly, and only looks at it when no one is around?"
The album was covered with dust, and Xin continued to flip through it towards the back.
The second page is still a photo of the two of them.
The woman had double braids, which was the most popular style at the time, and stood beside the man like a little bird.
There was still a faint smile on his face.
This photo album had about twenty pages, and Xin flipped through them rhythmically. As he flipped through the pages slowly, the happiness on the woman's face gradually diminished.
The number of gentlemanly men has also decreased, and gradually only women are left in the album.
Sometimes she sits quietly by the window and watches the sunset outside.
Sometimes he looks sad, holding flowers in his hands.
Sometimes she wears beautiful dresses, and sometimes she looks unkempt.
The pigtails that represented girlishness turned into the most popular big wavy curls at the time, exuding a melancholy and intellectual beauty.
The girl stood on tiptoe and looked at the photos in the album carefully. She spoke from the bottom of her heart: "Dear, your grandma is so beautiful. She looks like a female star, so beautiful."
The young man also stared at the album and said with emotion: "To be honest, this is also the first time I saw my grandma, but she seemed very sad."
Girl: "Is it because she is unhappy in marriage? Why is she so sad? Is her grandfather not treating her well?"
The young man just shook his head with deep eyes, and the atmosphere around him became gloomy because of the woman in the photo.
After looking at the last photo, Xin closed the album and handed it to the young man.
The young man subconsciously took the photo album with a confused expression.
Xin: "Here, this fell from your attic. I'm returning it to you."
The young man suddenly woke up from his dream, nodded quickly, pulled up the white cloth covering the sofa, and wiped the dust off the outside of the photo album.
After looking at the photos, the four of them worked together to put in a few movable tables and chairs, and finally built a "simple ladder"20.
Xin was walking in the front. The attic had been sealed for a long time, and it was filled with thick dust and damp mold. Xin took out a flashlight from his backpack and illuminated the dim attic with a distinct white light.
Suddenly, in the darkness at the edge of the flashlight's white light, something flashed by.
Xin paused and moved the flashlight to shine over there. At the end of his sight, there was only a pile of books in the corner.
Xia Chi's voice came from behind: "Brother, why did it stop? Is there something up there?"
Xin moved the flashlight again and said calmly: "No, come up."
He took two steps on the crude "ladder" and entered the attic. The flashlight swept across the attic at thirty degrees, and he finally understood the general layout of the building.
There are a lot of things in the attic, and they all look messy, but there is order in the chaos.
There is a bookcase against the wall, which is filled with books.
Some books could not be put in, so they were piled in the corner from big to small.
There was a table where he had just smashed the place. The table was covered with dust, but there was an obvious rectangular mark near the corner of the table.
The photo album that fell out of the hole should have been placed here just now. Because of my act of hitting the wall, the desk tilted to one side and the photo album fell down with it.
Other places were almost filled with debris, with almost no place to step.
While Xin was observing the attic, the other three came up with flashlights from their cell phones.
“Ahem,” the girl coughed and looked around curiously, “There are so many things in here.”
"It looks like an ordinary storage room. There's nothing secret about it. Why didn't your grandfather let you come up?"
The young man looked very confused: "You ask me, I don't know either."
Xia Chi's flashlight fell on the large bookshelf: "So many books, handsome boy, what does your master do? How come he has collected so many books?"
Young man: "Oh, my grandma and grandpa are both teachers, but one of them is an elementary school teacher and the other is a university teacher. My grandpa is a university teacher, teaching at X University in our city, but he has been retired for many years. My grandma is an elementary school teacher, and it was popular to go to the countryside to teach at that time, so she followed to respond to the call."
Xia Chi: "So you are a teacher, no wonder you have so many books. But why does this university sound so familiar?"
Xin: "Chen Ping teaches at this school."
"Oh," Xia Chi responded instinctively, and after two seconds, his eyes suddenly widened. "What a coincidence?"
The young man supported the girl and walked carefully to the table, looking very confused: "There's nothing here. Why did my grandfather hide it from us?"
Xin shone the flashlight silently. He observed very carefully, even the top of the attic was not spared.
Just when everyone was wondering about this ordinary attic, a sudden "pop" sound made everyone's heart rise.
The girl was like a frightened cat, all the hair on her body exploded in an instant.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and the girl heaved a sigh of relief when they saw what it was: "It turned out that the book fell. I was scared to death."
"Really?" Xin walked over through the clutter, picked up the fallen book, and looked at the bookshelf thoughtfully. "Then the question is, I just checked, these books are all well inserted on the bookshelf, how could they fall down for no reason?"
The three of them turned pale instantly.
As if in response to Xin's words, the books on the bookshelf suddenly began to shake wildly like the table just now, and one book after another fell off the bookshelf.
"Ahhh!" The girl was so scared that she screamed and hugged her boyfriend, "Ghost, it's haunted again, ahhhh!"
Xin pursed her lips and stood in front of the bookshelf, looking at the scattered bookshelf thoughtfully. In a trance, she seemed to see the black shadow that flashed by again.
He nimbly took two steps back and looked at the bookshelf quietly. The bookshelf kept throwing books, like a couple venting their anger after a quarrel. Books fell one by one, but none of them hurt anyone.
Xia Chi was worried that Xin would be hit, so he quickly walked to Xin's side and saw Xin's mouth opening and closing, saying something silently.
It sounds like he is talking to himself, but also like he is communicating with someone.
I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but after Xin closed his mouth, the wall that had been shaking violently suddenly stopped.
The originally tidy bookshelf was now filled with messy books. As the books fell, the dust in the room was blown up, filling the space like snowflakes.
When the light shines, the dense dust seems to form a strip of light.
The young couple huddled together on one side of the table, shivering. The girl huddled tightly in the arms of the young man, who also looked pale.
Why does he want the building? He doesn't want to stay in this place for a moment!
Even though he knew that the mischievous Giaogiao was his grandpa, he still felt scared!
He looked towards his girlfriend in fear, wanting to see how she was doing, but with just a quick glance, the young man's pupils instantly contracted violently, and his expression froze in place with a numb expression.
The girlfriend noticed something was wrong with the young man and subconsciously wanted to look back, but the young man grabbed her head and held her in his arms.
The girl didn't look back, but she could clearly feel the young man's trembling hands and hear his wildly beating heart.
The young man said in a trembling voice: "Don't, don't look back."
The girl's heart rose to her throat as she listened to the young man's heartbeat.
This time she did not make a fuss, but quietly lay in the young man's arms and asked softly: "What's behind?"
"There are some scary things," the young man swallowed hard, "you will be scared. I want to protect you."
When the girl heard this, her heart, which had risen to her throat, suddenly fell.
Obviously my boyfriend is even more timid than me, but when he is in danger, the first thing he thinks of is to protect himself.
It's worth dating him.
Xia Chi looked at the couple who were still showing off their affection with complicated eyes, and quietly moved behind Xin. He carefully poked his head out from behind Xin's shoulder, "Brother, that is..."
In the corner of the attic, a woman appeared out of nowhere.
To be more precise, perhaps it should be called a female ghost.
The female ghost had pale cheeks and her body was translucent like Chen Ping's.
She stood there blankly, her eyes and mouth sewn shut.
Blood-red tears flowed down his cheeks through the stitched wounds on his eyes, and the wound on his mouth was festering and red.
What scared the young man was this translucent female ghost.
Soon, the young man recognized the severely damaged facial features. Although the eyes and mouth were sewn shut, he still recognized that the female ghost in front of him was the woman they had seen in the photo just now.
The female ghost seemed to be in great pain. She tried hard to open her mouth, but the threads sewed her mouth tightly shut. Even if the female ghost tore open the wound, the threads still sewed her mouth tightly shut.
She tried desperately to pick at her mouth, her sharp nails leaving countless bloody marks on her face, but it was all in vain.
The young man stared at the female ghost blankly, and suddenly, the fear from the bottom of his heart disappeared unconsciously, and was replaced by a faint sadness.
She was in pain, he could feel it.
The young man subconsciously asked Xin, the calmest person in the building, "What happened to her?"
Xin: "After death, the eyes are sewn shut, so that people don't seek revenge on the murderer. The mouth is also sewn shut, so people don't go to Yama to complain."
The young man's expression suddenly changed: "Murderer?"
The female ghost appeared here, and this was the attic that my grandfather kept secret. The identity of the murderer had already surfaced without any careful thinking.
The girl had already poked her head out from the young man's arms. She had heard the conversation between the few people and had guessed something in her mind.
Even though she was mentally prepared, the girl was still stunned for a long time after seeing the ghost's appearance clearly, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.
She also guessed something.

Studio.
Good boy, "Tenderness".
The girl’s three views have completely collapsed from now on. She was envious of her grandparents’ fairy-tale love before, but now she must be scared to death, right
Sewing up the eyes, sewing up the mouth, and trapping him in the attic, how sinister. How much hatred and resentment must this have.
What's even more terrifying is that the person who has been missing for so many years turned out to be dead a long time ago, and the murderer is right next to him. It's another day of fear of marriage.
It is better to offend a villain than to offend the person next to you. When I looked at the photos of my grandfather, he seemed quite gentle and nice, but it is true that the gentler people are, the more ruthless they are when they do things.
____________________________
"So it's grandma who's been haunting all this time? What's wrong with her? What does she want us to do?" The girl's voice was trembling, and she even started to cry a little. "She looks so pitiful, can you help her?"
Xin looked at the young man and asked, "Has your grandma been missing? Has her body never been found?"
The young man nodded dully with a numb expression: "Yes, but if my grandfather hid the body, where would it be?"
"Come to think of it, don't you think this attic is a bit weird?" Xin quickly scanned the attic with the flashlight.
Xia Chi huddled behind Xin and quickly replied, "It's quite inconsistent. Look at this circle of books. How can it not be inconsistent?"
"..." Xin looked at Xia Chi with concern: "Didn't you notice that when you came in from the outside, the roof was sloped. If there was an attic above, it should be triangular. But your building has square walls. Where did the triangular space go?"
The three of them finally reacted and looked around.
Yes, the attic should be triangular.
The girl suddenly shook her shoulders and looked at the wall beside her in fear: "You mean, grandma's body is hidden in that missing triangle?"
Xin walked to the bookcase and said, "If my position is correct, the triangle is hidden behind the bookcase."
He turned his head and glanced at the three confused people, "Since we are here, smash it."
Young man: “…”
After all this smash, the house should be fine, right
The young man and the girl hugged each other, staring blankly at Xin who was panting and swinging the hammer in front of them.
An hour ago, they thought Xin was a charlatan.
Half an hour ago, they thought that although Xin was quite capable, he was weak.
Now…
Sorry, I was blind just now and didn’t recognize the great man. Let me try again.
The bookcase was knocked over by Xia Chi and Xin.
Xin swung the bookcase three times in a row, and a hole appeared in the originally tight wall.
Shining the flashlight behind the hole, I saw that there was indeed a hollow triangular area.
Xin swung the hammer hard again, and with a dull "clang" sound, half of the wall fell down.
girl:"… "
Young man: “…”
What kind of character is this, Daiyu uprooting a weeping willow tree
Handsome man, please, can you be a little more elegant
The wall cracked, and Xin waited for the dust to settle down before stepping inside.
Xia Chi looked in Xin's direction, then looked at the two people and one ghost behind him, and after hesitating for two seconds, he followed them in.
Although he was also afraid, it was more terrifying outside than inside. As long as he had his brother inside, he could give him courage.
Ghost and supernatural dungeons have never been Xia Chi's strong point. After staying in the game hall for three years, the senior sister in red is still the person he fears the most in his heart, and she also fears all the giaogiao.
The triangle area was pitch black, with thick dust like a smoggy day in winter, and visibility was less than 30 centimeters.
Even with the light from his cell phone, Xia Chi could only see a blurry silhouette.
He carefully dodged the fallen rocks on the ground and came behind Xin: "Brother, what did you find?"
Xin shone the flashlight in front of him, "We found the body."
Xia Chi mustered up the courage to hide behind Xin and took a look in front of him. He saw a black, red and blue woven bag in front of Xin.
The woven bag was opened, revealing a shriveled, thin body that had already turned into a mummy.
Like the giaogiao outside, the mummy’s eyes were sewn shut with thread, and its mouth was also sewn shut with thick fishing line.
Xia Chi was afraid of ghosts, but he was somewhat immune to this kind of corpse. He looked at the corpse carefully and suddenly made another discovery.
He pointed to the corpse's neck and said, "Brother, the bones here are deformed. She might have been strangled to death."
"But it's so strange. You said the person is already dead. Can the body really control the soul? If you sew the eyes and mouth with fishing line, the ghost will not only be unable to see but also unable to speak, so it can't find the way to the Hades Palace? Isn't that a bit far-fetched?"
The young couple outside did not follow in, so Xin did not need to worry about them discovering the difference between him and Xia Chi. He took out a utility knife from his backpack, carefully placed the blade on the fishing line on the mummy's eyelids, and gently picked the fishing line apart.
Because of the long time, the upper and lower eyelids of the mummy were stuck together. Xia Chi suddenly said, "Brother, look at her eyes. The eye sockets are sunken and there are no eyeballs. Do you think it was corroded by microorganisms, or was the eyeball taken out at the beginning? Could this corpse be related to the eyeball mentioned in our mission?"
Xin opened another eye.
Then he placed his index finger and thumb on the upper and lower eyelids and used his skillful strength to gently pry open the mummy's eyes.
The eyeballs had long disappeared from the mummy's eye sockets.
Xin stared at the eye socket for two seconds, pointed at the white bones in the eye socket and said, "Her eyes were dug out. Look here, there is a very shallow scar. If it was natural corrosion caused by microorganisms, there shouldn't be such a wound."
"And..." He paused, "There's something wrong with her body. It's been stored in the open air for such a long time without any antiseptic measures. It should have turned into a pile of bones. But look at her now. Although her body is in a mummy state, her facial features are still lifelike."
Xia Chi: "So why is that?"
Xin released his hands that were holding the mummy's eyelids open and gently closed them again.
"But you are right about one thing. She might really be related to the eyeball in the mission. Let's see if we can get some clues from its mouth." Xin said as he raised the dagger to the lips of the mummy.
He picked it up lightly again, and the blade that could cut through a hair easily cut the fishing line again.
Xia Chi opened his tightly closed mouth and widened his eyes: "Brother, she seems to have something in her mouth."
Xin saw it, he reached his hand into the mummy's mouth, and soon touched something with a rough texture.
He pulled it gently, and the thing followed him out of the mummy's mouth.
When the thing was completely exposed to the air, Xin's brows suddenly frowned.
This is another tip.
A golden sachet.
As time passed, the gold color had lost its original brilliance and turned into a dull khaki color.
Xin opened the brocade bag, which was exactly the same as Chen Ping's, and also contained a talisman.
There were obscure symbols painted on it, still with red text on a yellow background.
Xin stared at the talisman for a while, then put the yellow paper to his nose and sniffed it.
The only difference is that the red words on this one were written in blood, while the one that trapped Chen Ping was written in cinnabar.
Xia Chi poked his head over curiously: "What is this?"
"Didn't you ask me before how I let Chen Ping go?" Xin took out another talisman from his backpack, holding them in his left and right hands for comparison. "I also found this thing in the room where Chen Ping committed suicide. It was this talisman that trapped Chen Ping and turned that house into a haunted house."
Xia Chi compared the two spells carefully: "I can't say they are very similar, I can only say they are exactly the same. So there is something strange about Chen Ping's suicide?"
Xin: "It is not certain whether there is any mystery in the suicide, but there must be some unknown secret hidden in it."
The two were still communicating about the yellow talisman when suddenly a scream was heard outside.
Xia Chi and Xin looked at each other and rushed out quickly.
The girl was seen pinching the young man's neck, her face was as pale as a zombie, and her eyes had turned pure black. The young man was pressed by her at the entrance of the cave, and he was about to fall in.
The young man could only try to grab the edge of the cave. His face was red due to lack of oxygen and full of fear, he shouted hysterically for help.
Xia Chi rushed forward, grabbed the young man by the collar, and with one force pulled the young man and the girl who was strangling him to the side.
Pushing the girl aside, Xia Chi anxiously asked the young man: "Are you okay? What happened?"
“Cough, cough, cough,” the young man coughed several times before finally catching his breath. “I don’t know. We were waiting for you guys. But suddenly the female ghost disappeared, and then my girlfriend grabbed my neck as if she was possessed.”
As if to verify the young man's words, the girl stood up immediately after being pushed heavily against the wall, as if she didn't feel any pain at all.
Her expression was terrifying and ferocious, and she kept saying, "Kill you, kill you, kill you, you all must die..."
Xia Chi looked at Xin for help: "Brother, what's going on? Is he possessed by a ghost? Think of a solution quickly. Isn't this man the grandson of the female ghost? Why did the female ghost want to kill him? Could it be that the female ghost has turned into a fierce ghost?"
Xin stared at the girl: "..."
____________________________
Studio.
Why did he kill the young man? The young man looked quite similar to my grandfather, so maybe he mistook the young man for my grandfather and wanted to take revenge.
If I were treated like this, I would also take revenge. It is so vicious. Not only do I want revenge, I also want to treat them in their own way.
Hey, guys, I won't hide it from you guys... Wow, I was scared. Especially when the girls were possessed, their expressions were really scary.
Ding! Congratulations to the player, the quilt sealing technique was performed successfully.
____________________________
Seeing that the girl was about to launch another attack, Xin walked over, stretched out his hand like lightning, and easily controlled the girl's hands.
The girl who was already possessed went crazy instantly, baring her teeth and making threatening gestures.
Xin's cold eyes were filled with a bit of disgust, and he said coldly: "Didn't you just ask me if it was grandma who was shaking the table and the bookcase?"
"I can tell you right now, it's not."
Xia Chi and the young man were stunned for a moment and looked at Xin in confusion.
Xin: "Just now, a figure appeared on the curtain twice. The first one was to scare us away, and the second one was to guide us in the direction."
"The first one should be taller and bigger, and the second one to guide the way should be smaller."
"Also, the shaking is to stop us from smashing the attic. We don't want us to go up there."
"Shaking the bookcase is going to tell us where the body is."
"There have been two ghosts in this room all along."
"One is the grandma who has been trapped for many years, and the other is the grandpa who is unwilling and dare not leave."
"And the one who is possessing the girls and trying to kill us is the grandfather who doesn't want his secret to be made public."
"Grandma," Xin shouted into the air, "Don't you want revenge? The enemy is right here, what are you waiting for?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a white shadow suddenly flashed out from the darkness.
The white shadow rushed straight towards the girl and quickly crashed into her body amid the young man's worried shouts.
When it was leaving the girl's body, the white shadow turned into two, and one of the white shadows was knocked out.
Unlike the female ghost they saw at the beginning, the eyes of this female ghost were open and the fishing line on her mouth was gone.
She pressed another translucent white shadow to the ground, biting it madly with her mouth in the most primitive and barbaric way. Under the female ghost lay a male ghost, who dodged the female ghost's attack in a panic, but because his body was controlled, such dodging was useless.
The female ghost was like the most ferocious carnivore on the grassland, biting the male ghost again and again.
Every time she took a bite, her body grew a little bigger; conversely, the male ghost's body shrank a little.
The male ghost opened his mouth and seemed to be screaming, but no one could hear any sound. It was as if they were watching a vivid holographic silent film.
The young man recognized that the male ghost on the ground was his grandfather.
He looked at his two relatives with complicated eyes, and finally chose to walk to his unconscious girlfriend and hold her in his arms. The young man looked at his grandfather who was being bitten in the distance with some fear.
Just now, grandpa really intended to kill himself.
With that force and speed, if Xin and Xia Chi had arrived a step later, he would have fallen headfirst from the attic.
The head will hit the sharp rocks below, and even if the person survives, he will become a vegetable.
Although I was afraid of my grandfather, my fear could not stop me from respecting him.
Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, but it's horrible that my own grandfather actually wants to kill me.
The young man had no intention of going up to stop it. The farce ended only when the female ghost swallowed the male ghost until only half of him was left.
The female ghost stopped, wiped the corner of her mouth, burped silently into the air, and a satisfied expression appeared on her face.
At this time, the female ghost had grown to about 1.8 meters, while the male ghost had become only about 1 meter tall.
The female ghost kicked the male ghost, who could no longer cause any trouble, aside and turned to look at Xin and his companions.
She first came to Xin, slowly knelt in front of him and kowtowed to Xin, and then came to the young man.
The young man hugged his girlfriend tightly in his arms, protecting her in a protective manner, and looked at the female ghost with fear on his pale face.
Although he knew that the female ghost was his grandmother, the scene of her cruel devouring was still vivid in his mind, and it really left him with a psychological trauma.
Moreover, even his own grandfather could kill him without any mercy, let alone his grandmother whom he had never met
Since grandma hates grandpa so much, would she also want to kill herself since she looks 60% similar to grandpa when he was young
But the female ghost just looked at them gently, stretched out her transparent hand and patted the young man's shoulder lightly.
At that moment, many sealed memories surged out from the bottom of my heart.
He recalled that he was often sick when he was a child, and sometimes his mother was busy with work, so she would leave him at his grandfather's house. Many times, when he was in a daze at night, there would be a pair of gentle and cold hands patting his back.
He once thought it was his grandfather's hand.
But today, when grandma patted his shoulders, he suddenly felt the same sense of security as he did that time.
The young man stared blankly at the female ghost who was smiling gently, and tears suddenly flowed from his eyes.
"Grandma, it turns out you have always been by my side protecting me, woooo."

Hiss, wow, twists and turns again, so exciting.
Revenge yourself, isn't that great? So for the sake of his own reputation after death, the grandfather can even sacrifice his grandson's life? He is such a nobody.
It's just a joke, such a piece of garbage actually died of old age.
By the way, will this underworld be related to the previous copy of the Hades Palace of God Xin? If so, the souls of people like this will go to the eighteen levels of hell after death!
Yes, yes, yes, and it’s the kind that will lead to eternal damnation!
Speaking of the Hades dungeon, do you remember that dumpling? ! Wow, he's so cute, I wonder if I'll have the chance to see him again.
Finally someone said this! I also think it's so cute, I also want to see Tuanzi-sama again!
Mr. Tuanzi, Mr. Tuanzi! You say one thing and I say another. Tuanzi will be online tomorrow.
This makes me laugh to death. Will it really be online
Well, who knows.
