Without any external force, the originally closed gate of the mansion opened on its own. , After watching for a few seconds, he reached out and pushed the door in.
"Squeak-quack..."
With the sound of a dry door shaft turning, the dust above fell rustling, the door slowly opened, and an old and rotten breath came in. Under the dim yellow light of the flashlight, the darkness in the mansion became even more apparent. Thick and deep.
When Bai Yi opened the door, everyone else showed a very nervous expression, and they were relieved when they saw that there was no abnormality after the door was opened.
Because of his girlfriend Ren Xue, Wang Jianming was unhappy when he saw Bai Yi, and he was extremely dissatisfied at this time. He whispered, "Why don't you tell us if you want to open the door? What if something happens?"
Bai Yi smiled and said, "The instructions mentioned that the game will only officially start after entering the building. It's just the door, and nothing will happen."
Hearing what he said, Wang Jianming opened his mouth. He didn't expect to refute the words for a while. Ren Xue gently tugged at the corner of his clothes and whispered angrily to him: "Don't make such a fuss..."
"..." Wang Jianming closed his mouth and blushed a little. Although he listened to Ren Xue's words and didn't have a seizure, he looked at Bai Yi with more resentment. He passed Bai Yi and walked in first. At the mansion, at the same time, he scolded in a low voice, "What are you pretending to be?"
"Jianming!" Ren Xue was a little embarrassed, showing an apologetic look to Bai Yi, "I'm really sorry, he is like this sometimes..."
"Xiaoxue, don't apologize, what have you to say to him!" Wang Jianming's sullen voice came from the room immediately.
Bai Yi smiled in a good-natured manner. He didn't seem to care about it at all. He turned around and said to Cheng Zhichu and Lu Wenjing, who acted as little transparency throughout the process, "Go in."
"Um."
Cheng Zhichu responded with a big head. What kind of shit is this? Why even stage such a bloody and vulgar emotional drama when life and death are at stake, but he can't interrupt yet... I just hope that after entering, they will stop quarreling about this kind of thing.
Everyone entered the mansion with flashlights. As soon as they walked in, the door slowly closed. The rotten smell outside was even stronger, mixed with dust and a faint odor, which almost made Cheng Zhichu hit the first time he came in. sneeze.
He hurriedly covered his mouth and nose, and flashed a flashlight with the other hand, tense his nerves, and carefully observe the surroundings.
The location where they are now seems to be the living room. The floor, walls and furniture are covered with a thick layer of dust, faintly revealing bright colors and exquisite patterns. It can be vaguely seen that they used to be magnificent, but in frequent occurrences After the bizarre death, this place was completely abandoned and turned into a dilapidated appearance.
For some reason, the temperature here is much lower than outside. Cheng Zhichu felt cold hands and feet after staying there for a long time, and he couldn't help shivering.
He carefully observed the living room, and when he saw that there seemed to be nothing unusual, he turned on the clues, and in the dim living room, he saw two things flickering faintly with pale yellow light, and then went out.
One of them was near Lu Wenjing. She seemed to have discovered something. Just as she was about to walk over, Cheng Zhichu walked to another place where the light was shining. It was an old leather sofa. The leather wrapped on it had cracked. Cheng Zhichu groped After a while, he reached into the exposed cotton again, and finally found a small hard object.
Cheng Zhichu opened his palm and illuminated the hard object with a flashlight, and found that it was a small key with fine workmanship.
[Discover clues, gain 50 experience points, and 100 survival points. 】
[Item name: key. 】
[Item type: copy props. 】
[Whether the copy can be brought out: No. 】
[Description: The silver key seems to be used to open a secret door. 】
Whenever he got a special item in the dungeon, an explanation would be given automatically. Cheng Zhichu put the key in his pocket, turned around, and was about to report what he had found to others, but when the light of the flashlight illuminated the floor , his body froze suddenly.
The dust on the ground was so thick that everyone left their footprints as they walked around the house.
Only Cheng Zhichu came to this area, and he should have been the only one's footprints. However, on the dust, he could clearly see another set of footprints.
This series of footprints is extremely strange. The footsteps are messy and twisted, with a few drag marks. The footprints of the left foot are still missing the first half, and the remaining half is oozing black and red. Bleeding.
Cheng Zhichu's expression changed, and he took a step back. At this time, a new footprint suddenly appeared in front of the string of footprints. There was a soft sound, blood dripped, and the toes pointed in the direction of Cheng Zhichu!
"what!"
A scream full of fear sounded abruptly, from Lu Wenjing, and at the same time, there was the sound of the wooden board breaking. When she yelled like this, Cheng Zhichu's heart suddenly tightened, and he was so frightened that he screamed and sat on his buttocks. On the floor, he pointed to the footprints with a pale face and shouted, "There are ghosts!"
"Where?!"
Wang Jianming and Ren Xue stepped back blankly, and were far away from Lu Wenjing and Cheng Zhichu, while Bai Yi walked towards Cheng Zhichu without hesitation, lifted him up, and asked calmly, "Don't be afraid, What do you see?"
"Thank you, thank you."
Through a layer of fabric, the temperature of Bai Yi's palm was faintly transmitted, and coupled with his calm attitude, Cheng Zhichu, who was so frightened, took a few breaths, and his beating heart slowly calmed down.
He couldn't help feeling that Bai Yi was a really good person, and he felt a little more affectionate and close to him. After thanking him, he pointed to the front, and still said in a panic: "There, I saw the footprints of the ghost... Hey, why are they missing?"
Cheng Zhichu suddenly stopped talking and opened his eyes slightly in astonishment, because he found that the bloody footprints he had just seen had all disappeared, and there was still a thick accumulation of dust on the ground, only his and Bai Yi's footprints.
Is he wrong? Impossible, something must have appeared in front of him!
Cheng Zhichu suddenly remembered that when he saw the footprints just now, Lu Wenjing suddenly screamed, shouldn't that thing be heading towards her? Thinking of this, he immediately turned on the flashlight and asked anxiously, "Lu Wenjing, are you alright?"
"I'm fine..."
Lu Wenjing, whose figure was illuminated by the light, turned a little pale, bent down, leaned on the floor with a crowbar, pointed to her feet that had sunk into the floor, and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, the floor is rotten, I'm scared. When I jumped, I thought I was caught by something..."
"You're sick, so don't be surprised all the time, okay?"
Wang Jianming was frightened enough. Now that he saw that it was a false alarm, he immediately cursed violently. Lu Wenjing showed an aggrieved expression when he scolded him, holding a crowbar and bowing his head.
Seeing Wang Jianming's rude attitude, Cheng Zhichu couldn't help frowning, but Wang Jianming didn't calm down, he pointed the gun at Cheng Zhichu again, and looked at him up and down: "You said there are ghost footprints? Where are the footprints?"
His yin and yang expression made Cheng Zhichu feel a fire in his heart, his expression became cold, and he said, "I did see the bloody footprints just now, but I don't know why they disappeared."
"No footprints? In fact, you are dazzled and embarrassed to admit it? I said, can you stop being so scary all the time, you are already nervous enough, what should you do if you are really scared..."
Wang Jianming complained, then turned his head and changed his expression, smiled cautiously at Ren Xue who looked ugly, and said, "Xiao Xue, are you not scared? Hey, are you cold? It's cold here, do you want to? I'll take off your coat and give it to you... ah? No? But I see your face turning pale, so you'd better put it on—"
"Enough, shut up, it's not shameful enough!"
Ren Xue's face flushed red, and she felt that Wang Jianming was humiliated. Then she turned around angrily, walked to Lu Wenjing, and helped her pull her foot out of the rotten hole.
Wang Jianming was at a loss. He didn't know why he made her angry, so he said in a panic, "Xiaoxue, I'm sorry, I..."
"Shut up!" Ren Xue yelled at him without turning his head.
The atmosphere was very stiff for a while, Bai Yi supported Cheng Zhichu, with a faint smile on his handsome face, but the eyes of the other people were very indifferent, especially when they passed over Wang Jianming, it was even colder. point.
Cheng Zhichu didn't notice his expression, he just felt that someone had to smooth things out, so although he was still upset, he also said, "Sorry, buddy, I scared you just now, but we didn't mean it, and I still feel that I You must have read it right, there have been bloody footprints here, and the forefoot of the left foot seems to have been chopped off, which may be someone who died here before."
Wang Jianming didn't say a word. After Lu Wenjing was pulled out by Ren Xue, he took out an old envelope stained with blood, and said loudly, "I found this... It looks like a letter."
"I also found a key, I don't know which door was used to open it."
Cheng Zhichu took out the key and showed it to everyone. The five gathered together again. Cheng Zhichu took the envelope, first glanced at the signature and address on the cover, and then opened the envelope to read the contents.
"This is... a letter from the second owner of this mansion, and it was sent to his wife." Cheng Zhichu said with a frown.
【To my sweetheart:
Dear, you must not have imagined what kind of surprise I will bring you this time. I actually bought the Solcha mansion, and it was at an extremely low price. I am going to be crazy with joy, and now I want to bring you and The child will come and live with me!
Of course, there is a reason why the Solchas would sell the mansion... Although you may be afraid, I must tell you the real reason.
Just a year ago, there was a tragedy in the mansion. Its owner, the youngest daughter of the Solcha family, Mrs. Meijie, and all the servants and even the living animals all died in the mansion overnight, and the murderer. No arrests have yet been made.
God, this is really terrible... The murderer must have a deep hatred with the Solza family, otherwise it would be impossible to do such a dehumanizing thing.
Seeing this, you may want to ask, why I didn't mention Mrs. Mei Jie's new husband, is he still alive
No, in fact, it is rumored that this gentleman died long before this tragedy, and he died in the basement of the mansion, but there is no evidence to prove it, and no one has seen his body, so the police station has been It is registered as missing.
Residents nearby have been circulating a saying that this Mr. Charlie, the new husband of Mrs. Mei Jie, was probably killed by Mrs. Mei Jie.
Before marriage, Mr. Charlie was just a poor boy from the countryside, but he was handsome, and Mrs. Meijie fell in love with him at first sight, so he joined the Solcha family and became a member of the upper class.
Because of this, many times Mrs. Meijie treats him like a dog. If she doesn't like her, she will insult and beat Mr. Charlie. He has no dignity in front of his wife at all. In the end, maybe there was some dispute between them, and Mrs. Mei Jie simply killed him directly.
I saw some horrific evidence in the basement: lots of scratches on the floor and walls, and even old blood. I had hired servants to clean up these bloodstains, but they couldn't be removed in any way, and it's not hard to imagine that something terrible must have happened in the basement.
Perhaps Mr. Charlie was involved in the subsequent tragedy, but I didn't want to explore the secrets, so I decided to seal the basement permanently.
You also don't have to worry, my dear, similar troubles will never happen to us, because you and I are so in love and will always be in love forever.
By the way, there is another interesting thing. There is a secret door in the master bedroom on the second floor of the mansion, where the couple once lived. It is hidden behind a painting and needs to be opened with a key, but I have never found it. The key, the secret door's material is very strong and cannot be broken by external force.
When you come, we can bring the kids along to find the keys, it will be a very fun family scavenger hunt, sure to be a lot of fun! 】
"… the inscription is 'your beloved,' and the letter ends here."
Cheng Zhichu finished the book and looked up at the others. After Ren Xue heard it, he was about to say something, but suddenly felt his shoulder was touched from behind.
She thought it was Wang Jianming who wanted to lift her shoulder, frowned, and waved his hand to knock his hand down, but it was empty, and she didn't touch anything.
But at the same time, she could still feel something touching her shoulder and dripping liquid, smudged on the fabric of her shoulder, giving off a faint smell of blood.
Her body suddenly stiffened, she lowered her head slowly, and glanced behind her through the gap between her legs.
A pair of footprints clearly appeared on the ground, clinging to her back, the left foot was missing the forefoot, and black and red blood was printed on the dust.
"despair."
