Apartment From Hell

Chapter 18: where is it? (two)

Views:

"Go and check all the furniture immediately!" Ying Ziye made a decisive decision, instead of concentrating on the broken plaster statues, she immediately asked Xia Yuan and the others to check the furniture. She also used Bluetooth to send the photos on the phone to the other three, asking them to check them carefully. Even if there is a slight difference between the scene of the photo and the reality, there will be a mistake.

Although Xia Yuan was the building manager, the three of them admired Ying Ziye's calm demeanor throughout, so they followed her orders. After all, if you can survive, who cares about being ordered by whom.

The first thing Sachiko Odagiri went to check was the painting. Most of the paintings hanging in this villa are concentrated on the walls on the first floor. There are about a dozen of them, all of which are Western paintings. Most of these paintings are landscapes, houses, fruits, etc., and only two are figure paintings. But Sachiko Odagiri did not check the figure paintings first. In her opinion, the figure paintings are the least likely to be the incarnation of ghosts.

As for Ying Ziye himself, he watched for any troubles in the living room on the first floor.

"Where are you?"

She knew very well that if she didn't find out in time... she might become the first victim!

At this moment, she suddenly looked at the broken plaster statue on the ground!

"Could it be..."

She immediately crouched down and began to gather the pieces together. Although it was difficult to distinguish, she still tried her best to analyze it based on the photos on her mobile phone.

"This piece is... the right arm of a woman statue... This piece is..."

Ying Ziye is now afraid of a certain possibility. If that might be true, then maybe the ghost incarnation could be found. In fact, she believes that the shattering of these plaster statues is not just to put herself and others in fear.

And she was most wary of Xia Yuan. Once he discovers his intentions, the consequences will be disastrous. So although she was fiddled with the plaster pieces, she said, "No way, I have to find a way to put these plasters together, otherwise there is no way to know whether these plaster statues may be the incarnation of ghosts..."

In the end, all three came back and said that nothing unusual was found. All the furnishings in the room are the same as before.

Sure enough? No, maybe it's hidden deep...

Can't do it!

After working for two or three hours in a row, it was almost dawn, but I still couldn't put the broken plaster statue back together.

Ying Ziye couldn't prove his hypothesis anymore. But if the assumption is correct, these plaster figures must not be discarded.

Time passed by every minute and every second, but there was still no development. In the end, Ying Ziye personally went around the villa to check for any changed objects.

Another hour passed...

Still no progress.

what to do

what to do

The feeling of sleepiness also began to become apparent. If things go on like this, the consequences will be disastrous.

Looking at the pair of broken plaster statues, she also became helpless.

After dawn, the four of them ate some breakfast casually, and they were able to deal with it. The four of them stayed in the living room last night, but Ying Ziye never dared to close her eyes. She knew very well... Once she fell asleep, she might not be able to wake up again.

"What should I do next?" Xia Yuan seemed to have lost his mind at the moment, and looked at Ying Ziye: "Miss Ying, is there anything else you can do?"

"In short... let's get together, and don't separate anyway." Ying Ziye's conclusion is very simple, that's it: "In fact, our current situation is very close to the Snowstorm Villa model in mystery novels, and it's just out of plot needs. , Often reasoning writers write that all the dead will still live their own lives after the death of the first person, and will not gather together."

"But..." Xia Yuan paused, and continued: "Our enemy is not human beings, but... ghosts..."

"Mr. Xia Yuan... I don't know if you have noticed. In fact, this bloody instruction is beneficial to us." The person who spoke was Sachiko Odagiri: "Of course, the pros and cons coexist. It's just that if we gather together Together, the positive side will be more prominent. Of course, I just suddenly thought of it."

"Advantageous side?" Tang Wenshan also looked very puzzled: "What do you mean? We still have an advantage in this kind of place?"

"You mean Ying Ziye and the others have an advantage in staying in the haunted house?"

At the moment in the apartment, room 404 where Li Yin is. He is staying with Hua Liancheng and Yizhen and his wife. After talking about how Ying Ziye and the others carried out the blood-letter instructions this time, Li Yin said that the blood-letter instructions are beneficial to them.

"What's that?" Yizhen, who was outspoken, immediately asked, "Which point is it beneficial?"

"It is to find out the incarnation of ghosts." Li Yin paused for a while when he said this, and looked at the two, seeing that they still didn't understand, so he had to speak more clearly: "Since we want to find out 'Ghost incarnation, then it means that once four people gather together, it is impossible for the ghost to show up. Otherwise, all four people will immediately know what the ghost is incarnate for."

I see!

Li Yin continued to explain: "Especially Xia Yuan. This is the sixth time he has carried out the instructions in blood, so... once he knows why the ghost is incarnated, he will naturally flee back to the apartment immediately. Therefore, Xia Yuan's side is the safest. But , if the ghost suddenly appeared in its original form without anyone noticing and killed them, I’m afraid it’s too late to react. But it’s another matter if there are four people at the same time. That is to say, when four people gather together, the ghost is not very may appear."

There are such benefits!

"But..." Yizhen still didn't understand: "For Ying Ziye, this is the first time to execute the instructions in blood, so it's understandable to be simpler. But for Xia Yuan and the others... would it be too simple?"

"Wrong." Li Yin shook his head and continued to analyze: "For Xia Yuan, the difficulty is actually the most difficult, and the reason is because..."

"Because once you find the ghost incarnation, you can escape immediately!"

In the haunted house villa, Ying Ziye broke the mystery: "Mr. Xia Yuan, you are the most advantageous in carrying out the blood-letter instructions this time, but you are also the most disadvantaged because of it... First of all, because once you find the ghost, you can escape back to the apartment immediately, then, You will most actively search around the apartment, so you are more likely to come into contact with ghosts. Second, because you can easily escape back to the apartment... so the attack on you will definitely not make you easily react. Maybe you still If you didn't realize that you were attacked by a ghost, you might be dead."

Xia Yuan also nodded when he heard this.

What Ying Ziye said was indeed very reasonable.

"The best effect is when four people gather together to search."

"But..." Tang Wenshan asked in confusion: "Together anytime, anywhere? So, what do you do when you take a shower and change?"

"Is there something wrong with your brain?" Sachiko Odagiri said disdainfully: "Compared with life, is taking a bath more important? And in ghost movies, it is very common for a woman who takes a bath alone to be attacked by a ghost. I think so too. It works best when four people are together at all times.”

But... It's okay to take a shower and change clothes. Washing feet can be used instead of bathing. For clothes, it’s okay to bear with it, and for men, as long as they don’t change underwear, it’s acceptable to change clothes in front of women...

But how to solve the problem of going to the toilet

It's impossible for four people to gather together when going to the toilet, right

Although life is indeed very important, but, going to the toilet in front of the opposite sex... Anyway, Sachiko Odagiri asked herself that she would never do it.

"When you go to the toilet, of course you have to separate."

At the same time as Ying Ziye said this, Sachiko Odagiri seemed to notice the disappointed expressions on the two men opposite him just now...

Ying Ziye had her own plans.

She had checked the toilets beforehand. And also took pictures there. When going to the toilet, at most only people of the same sex gather together. However, the degree of danger is much higher than that of four people gathering together.

So... toilets are extremely dangerous! Therefore, she has the most photos taken in the toilet.

It's impossible for four people to sit in the living room with big eyes and small eyes like this. A possible haunt of the ghost must be scoured around. So the four of them gathered together and searched everywhere in the villa.

This villa is quite large, with a lot of rooms on the upper and lower floors.

After hours of searching, Ying Ziye kept counting suspicious furniture in his mind.

The first is the mirror.

Including the toilet, there are more than 20 mirrors in the villa. It is meaningless to take pictures in front of the mirror, because whether the mirror is abnormal or not depends only on whether there is any difference between the mirror image and reality. Ying Ziye would stare carefully at each mirror for a long time before leaving.

Another suspicious place is... the wardrobe. As a hermetic thing, it is very suspicious and concerning. There are a total of twelve wardrobes in the villa, and a lot of clothes are placed in each wardrobe. And all the clothes are women's.

Could it be another female ghost this time

When opening a certain wardrobe, Ziye found a black dress. The reason why she paid attention to that dress was that the clothes she had seen before were almost all colorful, and there were almost no monotonous clothes.

When she took out the black dress, she suddenly noticed that Xia Yuan raised his eyebrows.

Although it was only slightly unnatural, Ziye noticed it.

She didn't fully believe it, Xia Yuan said that he came here yesterday and found nothing.

Clothes... Does he know the origin of black clothes? No, in that case he would have been looking for black clothes yesterday.

The instructions in blood didn't mention any clues related to the black clothes, so... why did he pay special attention to the black clothes? Is it because black represents unknown? It is also understandable. However, a person like Xia Yuan who has gone through five bloody instructions shouldn't make such a fuss, right

black clothes...

Suddenly Ying Ziye thought that if he was outside the villa, he could see the windows outside.

Did Xia Yuan see something? through the window? Like, something in black...

Ying Ziye squeezed the black clothes on his hands, and when he continued to pay attention to Xia Yuan, his reaction seemed to be no longer strange. And Ying Ziye immediately put the black clothes in his hand back into the closet.

After closing the closet, she took out the transparent glue and sealed the closet with tape. If "something" comes out of the closet, it will break the tape.

She also deliberately drew a very inconspicuous thin line with a water pen on the top of the tape, so that once the position of the tape changes, she can know.

After taking back the pen, she felt... Xia Yuan must always pay attention. In fact, she suggested that everyone gather together to facilitate surveillance of Xia Yuan.

He probably found something and didn't say it...

For example, Xia Yuan didn't want to reveal the clue about the black clothes. Because he only wanted to save himself alone, while others were treated as abandoned children by him.

There must be some mystery in that black dress.

Could it be that the incarnation of ghosts is black clothes

Enter the next room, which appears to be a study. There are two bookshelves, and most of the books on the shelves are novels.

"You need to pay attention to this bookshelf." Ying Ziye suddenly said to the other three, "There is something wrong."

"Question?" Sachiko Odagiri looked at the first shelf of the bookshelf that Ying Ziye was pointing at.

The books on the first frame, from left to right, are titled "Your Melancholy", "We Will Be Happy", "The Devils Are Coming From Hell", "Maybe You Will Believe Me", "Death in a Broken Heart" Descending", "The Ghost Under the Sea Is Behind You", "I Hope You Can Come Back Here".

"Why are there some weird book titles?" Tang Wenshan frowned as he looked at these books. He had never heard of them before, and the titles all sounded weird.

"Haven't found it yet?" Ying Ziye said: "From left to right, the first book reads the first letter of the title first, and then skips and reads a word every other book. Then try to link them together. …”
