The Pavilion of Dawn is now in front of everyone.
According to previous investigations, this is the last work of the late famous architect Zuo Yi.
The whole layout of the house is incredible. Because the roof of the room is a huge five-pointed star. The five-pointed star also corresponds to the five doors. The tip of the corner is connected to the ground by a pillar, and then there is a long corridor, until the door is the central part of the five-pointed star. Strangely, there was not a single window outside the walls as far as they could see.
"Why is it called the Pavilion of Dawn instead of the Pavilion of Five Stars?"
When seeing this building, Shen Ang couldn't help asking the housekeeper.
"The dying of the stars... is the coming of the dawn, isn't it?"
Everyone only understood half of what the housekeeper said. This building only expresses "star", how can it express "disappearance"? For a while, everyone didn't quite understand, but seeing the housekeeper's expression, they didn't ask any further questions.
Walk along the corner closest to the car, walk into the promenade, and come to the door.
"No one has lived in it for a long time, so it may be dirty. I need to trouble you to clean it. The water and electricity here are connected to the green house, so you can use it with confidence." Strange key, the front end of the key is actually a five-pointed star. After inserting into the keyhole, it opens shortly.
However, after the door opened, everyone was surprised again. The walls on both sides of the Pavilion of Dawn are actually very narrow and long, completely inclined at an angle of 45 degrees to the ground, and the ceiling is the walls on both sides closed together. Really weird design. Shunxuan remembered that it was mentioned in the magazine that Mr. Zuo's architectural style has always been characterized by weirdness, and he did not pay attention to the practical problems of living in the building itself. It is really awkward to walk in such a strange corridor.
The floor is smooth marble, if you look down, you can see your own figure, as if there is another person walking around below. However, it seems that because it has been unoccupied for a long time, and a lot of dust has accumulated on the ground, it is not very clear.
At this moment, they came to a place and stopped, and the housekeeper pointed to the left and right doors and said, "Well, everyone, these two doors can be used as bedrooms. You can assign them freely. Each of the five corners Each entrance has two rooms like this, which are connected to each other, and the center is the living room."
Everyone's eyes widened suddenly, this is simply a joke! Because the wall is completely slanted, the door is naturally slanted, so what is the scene in the room? Immediately Shunxuan thought of "The Inclined House Murder Incident" by Shoji Shimada. Didn't Mr. Zuo refer to that book when he designed this house
"Can you take a look at the room inside?" Shun Xuan was really a little uneasy, but at this time Tong Moyan said: "Don't worry, everything is normal except for the sloping wall."
Mo Yan's clairvoyance ability has been verified by everyone, so everyone believed him. To Shunxuan's surprise, the housekeeper didn't question this at all, but said, "Go this way."
The end of the corridor was coming soon. After opening the door, it was a very special living room.
It's quite a weird style indeed.
In the center of the living room, there is a huge pillar, which connects the floor and the ceiling, and what is strange is that the base of that pillar is actually made in the shape of a human hand! And it is very realistically made, because the pillars are also flesh-colored!
The moment they stepped in, the few people who didn't react thought it was a real hand, and even screamed. Looking up again, I found a huge face on the ceiling. Of course this is a mural, but the painting is so good that it looks as if it will come out of the painting at any time. Moreover, the flesh-colored pillar is Below the face directly connected to the mural should be the part of the arm. Looking at it this way, it looks like the person in the mural stretched out his hand.
"It's...so amazing..." Shun Xuan was almost stunned, and then looked around, even more surprised. Because he saw a huge foot painted on the left and right walls, extending together with the mural above. Looking around carefully now, this living room seems to be occupied by a giant. This momentum is really majestic. To be honest, until now, it is still difficult for him to separate the murals from reality.
"Then, Mr. Qiu, here are the keys to each room. The name of the room is marked on each key. You can choose a suitable room to check in. Each room is equipped with a toilet and kitchen, please feel free to use it."
"Okay... okay..." Shunxuan was still sighing at this strange living room, and had already taken the keys of each room. Then, the housekeeper said: "Then I'm going back, see you in a week."
When she said the last sentence, she seemed to have a strange expression. It's almost... as if they are saying that they can't meet again. But Shunxuan didn't think much about it, and said, "Okay, thank you very much, um... sorry, what's your name?"
"Liu Zhifang, you can call me Butler Liu."
"Okay, Steward Liu, please convey your thanks to Madam."
When Steward Liu reached the door, he closed the door and locked it again. At this point, the link between the Dawn Pavilion and the outside world has been completely severed.
Yes, completely...
"Then, let's start assigning rooms now." Shunxuan spread the floor plan on the coffee table in the living room, then took out a ballpoint pen, and wrote his name on it.
"Well, the allocation of the room is up to me. If you have any objections, you can bring it up to me. Tonight at 0:00 am, the spiritual meeting will be held on time, and Ruixin will host it. Everyone will perform their duties and take pictures of ghosts as much as possible. .Generally, if something unexpected happens, Ruixin and Mo Yan will be responsible for the aftermath."
Thus, the interview team started working in the House of Dawn.
"What did Miss Wen say?"
"Well, she said that she has accepted several commissions, and she can't meet us for the time being."
Ah Jing looked a little lost, she was sitting in front of a computer at the moment, and seemed to be searching for information aimlessly. And the webpage she opened now seems to be a supernatural website, with the words "Gate of Hades" written on it.
Run An saw this website, browsed it for a while and said: "Gate of Hades, I also referred to the information in it when I was collecting materials. Are you also interested?" "Well, because this website is more formal, it is very Founded by a rare person who has some knowledge of supernatural powers." Ah Jing seemed to be downloading some information at the moment, put the mouse down, and said, "Well, the hard disk capacity of this computer is almost full..."
There are five computers in Ah Jing's house, and the hard disk capacity is not enough. Run An is really curious about what she has put in.
"Speaking of which, how is your Soul Devouring pupil practice? Do you have any experience?" Ah Jing saw that the downloaded content was only 10%, so she turned around and started talking with Run An.
Run An stroked his left eye and said, "Well, after training in several rooms in the basement these days, I have tested the maximum ability of Tongyan. Once released, the aura on my body will become a murderous blade , but there is no way to attack even matter like Yingxuan. Her fierce eyes are not as high as mine, but she once cut off my hand. If you hadn't given me the medicine, I would It becomes one-armed. However, the attack on soul-like creatures should be effective, at least it can also create obstacles for the spirit body to attack."
"It's not enough... You were actually confused by hallucinations last time, and you were almost killed by yourself," Ah Jing seemed dissatisfied at all, and made a clear request to Run An: "Your current ability must be able to see through ordinary things." Invisible ghosts, but I am afraid that the premonition of danger is not as good as Yingxuan. The reason is that the soul-eating pupils are aggressive ghost eyes. The ghost in your body is full of resentment towards the world because it was killed by someone you trusted. And hatred, this malice gives you this ability, so you should also try to improve your own defense ability, after all, no matter how powerful ghost eyes are, it is impossible to kill ghosts. The most important point...you must remember... "
When she said this, she looked back at the download process, and then said: "After the ghost eye ability is awakened, people with physical physiques around you will be attacked by ghosts and die one by one, just like my father back then. That. Of course you don’t have to worry about me, I still have some psychic abilities, but ordinary people are almost certain to die. So I suggest you announce that you will close your pen and stop writing horror novels, so that you can avoid many public events, and then try to be as close as possible to Friends cut ties."
"That's fine. Anyway, I still have a lot of savings in the bank. Even if I close my pen, I won't have any financial problems within a year or two." Run An actually had this plan long ago. He was busy cultivating ghost eyes, so how can he still do it? Find time to spend on writing. And considering that he may move to other cities in the future, he has always been very careful in making friends and will not have too deep feelings with anyone, so he basically has few friends in this city.
"Then, next time, after the next premonition is generated, we can enter the actual combat stage." A Jing turned her head back to the computer screen and said, "Remember what I said? Wait a few days until we can contact Wen Zimei I will ask her to make you a mirror, and then you try to release the ghost eyes to the limit and become a ghost, and then I will use the mirror to transform you back. Well, why are you so far away from me? "
Run An once again confirmed his guess, Ah Jing is definitely not normal! However, carefully recalling everything from knowing her to now, where did she do anything that wasn't crazy
Frankly speaking, after seeing the female ghost on Yingxuan's body last time, whenever he thinks that there is such a ghost in his body, he often feels shuddering, as if someone is peeping into his body, which is really quite disgusting Feel. However, Ah Jing said that she is very concerned about her lack of supernatural physique. It is scary to think about it. Some people are dissatisfied because they don’t have that kind of thing in their body. Why are they all cursed, and the worldview is so different
"And..." Ah Jing suddenly changed the subject and said, "The handsome man you mentioned last time who saved us... I guess it has something to do with this matter."
Then, she opened a webpage, which displayed a piece of social news, with the headline: "A fire broke out in the E-city branch of Nuosolan Company, killing and injuring dozens of people." This was news a few months ago.
"No... Nosolan Company?"
"Well, it is a company involving multiple industries that has suddenly emerged in mainland China in the past ten years. The products it produces have a considerable domestic market share, and in recent years they have also begun to occupy a certain proportion of the export share. Originally, There is nothing strange about it, what makes me feel strange is... After the fire broke out, the company has restricted media reports so far, whether it is on TV, on the Internet or in newspapers, the reports are relatively vague."
"But... what does it have to do with that man with purple pupils?"
"In fact, when I collected information about supernatural phenomena in the past three years, I found that Nuosolan Company has many rumors of being haunted, and some people suspect that this company is conducting some secret research, because the company has tax evasion and cover-up accounts. Suspicion, but it seems to have been settled through the relationship. Some people think that the undisclosed expenditures covered up by the company's upper management may be used for some shady research, because the company has been engaged in many Development of products in new fields. Members of the company's development department account for more than one-third of all staff in the company."
"I see… "
"Also, regarding the rumors of haunting, I found that many people's stories have one thing in common, that is, the red-eyed ghost appeared in the company, and many employees resigned because of it. The red-eyed ghost is probably a ghost, isn't it? But Isn’t it strange that there are no deaths in a company where ghosts appear? So I have a hypothesis. This company probably has investigated relevant information about ghost eyes and wants to conduct research.”
"Research? Is it possible to use ghosts to study? Isn't this too perverted?"
"Compared with ghosts, the evils caused by human greed and ambition can be said to be even worse. People with supernatural physiques have part of the abilities of ghosts. If the people of Nuo Solan Company believe that controlling people with supernatural physiques, It is not impossible to create a ghost that can be driven as a weapon. But this kind of idea is destined to be impossible. The reason why I think that man has something to do with Northolan Company is because his ghost The eyes... don't seem to be naturally generated, but have artificial components in them."
When Run An heard this, she really admired Ah Jing to the point that she couldn't stop admiring her. Ah Jing had never met that person before, so it was really not easy to deduce to this point. But he still didn't understand what the so-called artificial meant.
"Hmm..." She looked at the download process again, and it was already halfway through, so she continued: "The so-called artificial, probably refers to the artificial creation of supernatural physique or the transplantation of ghost eyes through some kind of technology. Natural physique Although the cracking pupil eye is very advanced, it can achieve the ability to create a subspace. Generally speaking, the user's body will be very burdened, or at least it should be close to the state of losing control of the soul, but according to your statement, he was completely It seems to be more than capable, I can't help but wonder if someone has overcome the burden on the body caused by the splitting space of the cracked pupil through some kind of artificial technology? In fact, I have been researching this kind of medicine, but it is still in the theoretical stage. "
"Ah Jing..."
"what's the matter?"
"About the theory of ghost eyes, can you teach me all at once? I'm not you. I haven't spent three years collecting information and researching. If you don't tell me, I don't know many things."
"Well, so I'm downloading an e-book that will teach you this kind of knowledge, and I'll send it to your mailbox later."
No wonder she had been paying attention to the downloading process just now... Run An really felt sorry for herself, and vowed to make up for it when she went back, and she would also be able to play the role of commentator in the future.
Suddenly, the image flashed by...
"Shen Ang... Shen Ang, this person will die..."
In front of Run An was one of the members of the interview team, the photographer Shen Ang!
