Chapter 138: Tenth inning

Views:

After hearing Yuan Kejie's words, Wang Heng's mood changed from fear to shock.

Looking at the calm members, Wang Heng asked Yuan Kejie in a murmur, "Aren't you... not afraid?"

What he wants to say more is—at this time, is it important whether it is a Chinese ghost or a foreign ghost? !

Yuan Kejie heard the words, and pointed to the oil painting: "Who are you afraid of? Are you afraid of it?"

Wang Heng looked in the direction her finger was pointing at, and saw that the woman in the oil painting hanging on the wall, which was originally facing them, also disappeared as the red-haired spirit drifted away just now.

Looking at the oil painting with only the background left, Wang Heng's heart felt cold again. He deeply felt that if this continues, he might die of a heart attack here.

In a reality scarier than horror movies, he wanted to scream, cover his eyes, or even run away... He turned to look at the other people, and found that all the people present were looking straight at him—the corner of Lu Chu's lips twitched With a clear smile, Yuan Ke's face showed encouragement and trust, Qi Li's face was indifferent and indifferent, and even the thirteen-year-old Luo Qi had a mocking face.

Inexplicably, Wang Heng felt like he was mentally retarded.

After a while, Lu Chu broke the embarrassment at this moment: "We should continue to search the floor."

Several people looked at the two doors in front of them.

The door on the left is the door that the red-haired ghost floated in just now, and there may be many dangers inside; while the door on the right may keep them in a temporarily safe environment.

According to the nature of the "rules", since the ghost ran into the door on the left, it means that following the direction she floated to, she must be able to get some corresponding clues - this is what the "rules" gave them at the beginning of the game. hope. Of course, even if they don't consider it from the direction of "rules", they should follow the direction of the disappearance of the soul at this time.

Yuan Kejie pointed to the two doors in front of them, and said to Wang Heng: "Come on, big brother, let you choose the door."

Wang Heng was stunned when he heard the words, and pointed to himself: "Me?"

Yuan Kejie nodded, her eyes full of encouragement: "Well, don't be careless!"

Wang Heng swallowed his saliva, and tentatively pointed to the right: "Then I will choose this..."

Lu Chu raised his eyebrows: "Huh?"

Wang Heng immediately stretched his hand towards the door on the left, his eyes widened, and his tone was extremely firm: "This way! Just the left side! Let's go!"

Yuan Kejie laughed, and patted him on the shoulder: "Brother, yes, you have courage."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and was the first to go in towards the door on the left.

Luo Qi followed Yuan Kejie, Wang Heng walked in the middle, Lu Chu and 7 cut off - the reason for this is that no matter whether Wang Heng is at the head or the end of the team, it may hinder them, or the middle is stable. some.

Yuan Kejie, who was walking at the head of the team, was holding a mobile phone and turned on the light, stepped into the door, and the people behind entered the house one after another, looking at the scene in the house.

The more he walked in, the more decayed the walls and floors could be smelled by the tip of Lu Chu's nose, as if they were exploring this floor little by little, and at the same time, they were also going back to the time that this bungalow had gone through—from the grand and glamorous corroded by time.

This room is not small, but it is not a bedroom for living. It looks like a common guest room in the middle. In the center of the room is a brown leather sofa that has already accumulated a thick layer of gray. Some parts of the sofa have been rotten, exposing the yellow sponge and rusty spring support inside.

Except for the wall on which the sofa was leaning against, there were three doors on each of the other three walls of this room, one of which was their entrance, and only one of the other two doors was open.

7 walked to the closed door, twisted the handle, and turned back to tell Lu Chu: "It's locked."

Wang Heng asked tremblingly, "Did the ghost run into the open door just now?"

Luo Qi said in a disdainful tone: "That's not necessarily true. Have you ever seen a ghost entangled with the door opening and closing? What's the use of a body that can pass through walls?"

When Wang Heng thought about it, it was indeed the case.

Yuan Kejie turned her head to look at Lu Chu: "Lu Xiaochu, can you confirm which door it is?"

Lu Chu nodded slightly.

It may be because the soul is enshrined in the oil painting. The spirit of the red-haired ghost has a very pungent watercolor smell. Lu Chuben can use the breath to find people and souls. Naturally, this pungent and strong watercolor smell cannot escape his sense of smell. .

He approached the two doors, moved his nose slightly, frowned slightly to confirm, then pointed to the locked room, with a firm tone: "This one."

Hearing this, Luo Qi raised her eyebrows and looked at the locked door: "Just kick it open?"

Yuan Kejie shook her head, and said hesitantly: "It is indeed faster and more accurate to kick directly, but it is not suitable..."

Luo Qi looked at her: "What's wrong?"

"Qiqi, we are in an ancient house more than a hundred years ago!" Yuan Kejie explained, "I don't know how many strange creatures live here, any object may be a container possessed by ghosts, any sound It may also be an opportunity to disturb them, what if a bunch of undead are attracted after the door is smashed?"

Yuan Kejie's thinking is also in Lu Chu's thinking. They have just entered this bungalow, and the opponent they are facing is a ghost that is not the same as the ghost they encountered in the game before. It is better not to startle the snake too early. it is good.

If they are really surrounded by the ghost army, as experienced players, they are not without the ability to escape safely, but Wang Heng, who is an ordinary person, will not be spared. Furthermore, if they wake up a large number of ghosts by touching them, they may also attack companions searching on other floors.

Thinking about it this way, it's better to be careful.

Luo Qi asked several people: "If we don't smash the door, where are we going to find the key?"

Lu Chu decided: "Look around here."

The room they are in now exists like a small living room, and there should be keys to the other two rooms.

Yuan Kejie also thought of this, clapped her hands and nodded: "Okay, let's split up and search around the corners of the small living room!"

Lu Chu turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone, and said to others: "When you are looking for the key, please temporarily turn on the flashlight of your mobile phone, and find it as soon as possible."

Everyone else nodded: "OK."

Then they each started looking for the keys in different corners of the room.

The dust in the room is very thick, and it is inevitable to open or move some cabinets during the search process, because the dust raised by these actions fills the room, and the bright flashlight of the mobile phone illuminates the past, and the dust particles are clearly floating. In the air full of decay.

They coughed a few times, and then covered their mouths and noses with their sleeves and continued to search.

After a while, Yuan Kejie wiped off her sweat: "I didn't find it..."

Wang Heng despaired: "I didn't find it either..."

7 said softly, "I found it."

When the others heard this, they immediately turned their attention to him.

7 nodded, and looked coldly at the opening of the leather sofa in the middle of the room: "In there."

Wang Heng leaned over curiously, held up his mobile phone, and looked at the hole where the sponge turned upside down—the sponge was completely broken, as if it had been torn apart on purpose, and then stuffed back into the hole in a mess.

It does seem to be hiding something.

Wang Heng didn't think much about it, he just thought that the key was in the sponge, thinking that his previous behavior was too cowardly, and he had to do something, so he squatted in front of the sofa and removed the sponges that blocked the hole with his bare hands. Little by little, it was buttoned out.

After pulling out more than half of it, his fingertips seemed to touch something. Wang Heng sensed something was wrong, and looked at the crack where more than half of the sponge had been removed. Seeing this, he immediately screamed "Wow", jumped up, jumped back a few steps, hid behind Lu Chu, trembling, closed his eyes, and pointed to the position of the sofa with his hands: "Lu Chu Chu! There are skeletons... skeletons... skeletons!"

Lu Chu was helpless.

Seeing this, 7 pulled Lu Chu to her side without giving Wang Heng a look.

Suddenly there was no one in front of Wang Heng.

Yuan Kejie came over and slapped Wang Heng on the shoulder: "Brother, keep your voice down, you are the one who is going to dig it out yourself, why are you reacting so loudly now, are you trying to wake 'them' up?"

Wang Heng didn't usually have the chance to see the skeletons, so he was really frightened at this time. When Yuan Kejie said this, he was afraid of startling the other ghosts here, so he immediately shut up.

Luo Qi turned off the light of the mobile phone, put the mobile phone in his pocket, walked forward with the light of other people, and took out the remaining sponge. After finishing all this, she took two broken sponges for cushioning, took out the skull expressionlessly, held it between her palms, and turned to show others.

Seeing this, Wang Heng was in a bad mood.

When Lu Chu saw the appearance of the skeleton, he immediately became interested.

I saw a small round hole cut out in the upper eye socket of the skeleton, and a red string passed through it, with several keys of different sizes strung on it. On the other hand, the skeleton itself is somewhat different from the skeletons of ordinary dead. It seems to have been carefully polished by people. After so many years, it is still round and shining with a strange luster.

What is even more strange to several people is that the skeleton has no mandible.

Lu Chudao: "I think, I may know the purpose of this skeleton."

Yuan Kejie was surprised: "What purpose, isn't it an ordinary skeleton?"

Lu Chu shook his head and explained slowly: "Do you remember what Sun Haoran said before? He said that this bungalow was first built by Russians. Although there have been several generations of owners, they lived in it after renovation. He passed away due to various reasons in half a year, and he did not really occupy the bungalow for a long time. Therefore, the general structure of the bungalow must still be the earliest design of the Russians. It is related to Russia, including how the demon is summoned and the process of summoning."

In the previous "games", Lu Chu sometimes not only performed the tasks of that game, but also occasionally searched the Internet for many supernatural events and mysterious customs around the world. Useful.

The others looked at Lu Chu upon hearing this, waiting for his next words.

Lu Chu looked at the skeleton and continued: "It is said that in the eyes of Russian necromancers, the skull is the medium to connect with the undead. They often carry a skull that they polished and injected spiritual power with them. Cutting off the jaw of the skeleton, It is equivalent to cutting off the connection with the underworld, and the 'medium' is invalid."

Yuan Kejie was stunned: "So, this skeleton used to be a 'magic weapon'?"

Lu Chu nodded: "Well, I think so."
