Yang Yi's words are very reasonable, but I still feel that it is necessary to find out about this very special box.
I glanced at the pictures of beauties unfolded on the ground, and fell into silence for a while.
"How about we go through the whole house first, and then discuss this issue?"
Yang Yi frowned and agreed, but unfortunately, we even walked all over the small yard behind the house, but still couldn't find any other clues.
It was me who was taken aback by the weed-covered well in the yard. Both Yang Yi and I knew it, and didn't move a little towards the well. We wanted to take a long detour, but we didn't want to get close to it.
"Have you found anything unusual?"
I turned my head to ask him, he shook his head, frowned and said to me: "It's strange, it's impossible, this house finally leads to this small backyard with a well, I just noticed the footprints at the door, only they went in footprints, but none came out."
"Is it possible that adults will disappear out of thin air?"
I was stunned by his words again.
"Okay, okay, don't scare me." I hurriedly dragged him into the room, not wanting him to say more nonsense, which would make us all uneasy.
"Could it be...they are in that...that well?"
Yang Yi swallowed nervously, and poked the well with his fingers. His guesses aroused goosebumps all over my body. As if to embolden myself, I patted his arm and glared at him: "Don't think about it!"
He was pulled back to the hostess' bedroom by me. I looked around and finally decided to open the box to see what happened.
My approach is very immoral to be honest. Even if the box belonged to the former mistress of the family, but so long has passed, she must have passed away, and the whole house was sold to the big boss. Everything has become the private property of the client.
We are still not qualified to touch these things, unless the client allows us to touch them.
Yang Yi gave me the same answer as before, so I had to add a sentence.
"You should have the client's mobile phone number. Give him a call."
He saw that the matter had developed to this point, and all four teammates had disappeared. Now we haven't found them in this house, and there are no clues.
Rescuing his teammates was an urgent need, so he stopped entangled with me about those principles, and was going to call the client to seek consent.
I walked around this room again, and my sixth sense told me that the disappearance of the team members was absolutely inseparable from this room.
Especially when I saw the picture of the witch, I already affirmed this idea in my heart.
Yang Yi's voice didn't come from my ear for a long time, I looked up at him in surprise.
Isn't he on the phone? What is he doing...
When I cast my eyes on him, what I saw was his pale face with an extremely ugly expression. The light from the mobile phone screen hit his face, pale like a ghost, which shocked me.
"What's wrong!?"
His demeanor made me feel uncomfortable.
"Here, there is no signal..." He raised his head slowly, stared at me with a pair of horrified and shocked expressions, and spit out these words.
No signal? How can it be
After I heard it, my brain buzzed, I didn't believe in evil, I stepped over with a few arrows, and looked over my head. Sure enough, there were only three characters of "No Service" in the signal position in the upper left corner of the interface. I didn't believe it. I took out my mobile phone and looked at it. In an instant, an emotion called frustration swept over me.
how can that be possible? No matter how scary and gloomy this house looks, there are still other buildings near this house, and there are big living people living in it. This is not the kind of no-man's land or high mountain with no signal.
"If I'm not wrong, since they stepped into that door, their mobile phones have lost signal." Yang Yi looked at me and said helplessly and nervously.
I kept comforting myself. Hearing what Yang Yi said, I struggled to open my mouth: "If there is no signal, how come there is no one with me? This is impossible."
"To put it bluntly, you need to see people when you live, and you need to see corpses when you die, don't you?"
Yang Yi may not like my expression, but what I said is indeed the truth.
He held up his mobile phone and searched for the signal, but finally had no choice but to give up. He glanced at the box on the dressing table, waved his hand, and compromised: "Bring it here, I'll find a way to open it."
I held the box in both hands and handed it to him. When I first picked it up, it was a bit heavy, which made me wonder what was in it
After Yang Yi took it, he picked it up and looked at it for a while, and asked me to use a flashlight to help illuminate it. He looked at the small silver lock.
I don't know if it's because of my psychology, but I feel that my vision is becoming more and more blurred.
I looked up and saw that it wasn't my problem. Some unknown mist began to appear in the small room. I walked out of the room in surprise, and through the faint light in the yard, I noticed something strange.
It's getting foggy.
It was as if there was a layer of tulle covering the whole house, and my heart couldn't help but tighten.
Fog is not a good sign, even if it is normal to have fog at night in autumn, I can't relax for a moment.
"Crack".
There was the sound of the lock being unlocked behind me, followed by a crisp crash, and Yang Yi shouted to me, "It's opened."
I didn't care about the inexplicable fog, so I walked up to him and shone the flashlight on the box, asking him to open it.
The process of opening the box was particularly slow, so slow that I felt like a century had passed. When the contents of the box were fully displayed in front of my eyes, my eyes widened suddenly.
A tree branch was placed on each of the yellowed photos.
Yang Yi didn't dare to reach out to pick up the contents at first, so I had to grit my teeth, as if I was touching something scary, and picked up the brittle and thin wooden branch.
The other hand took out the photo inside.
"Is this cherry blossom?" Yang Yi took the wooden branch in my hand and looked at it for a while, then asked in doubt.
Cherry blossoms
He pointed to a few withered flower petals that I brought out when I took the photo, and I suddenly woke up.
At the bottom of the few photos, there is actually a part of the newspaper at that time, as if it was cut out with scissors, and the content of a report is on it.
I leaned in with a flashlight and looked at it for a while before I saw the title on this
"Legend of Riyue Mountain".
The content of the article is nothing more than introducing the background and legend of Riyue Mountain, which became a scenic spot at that time and was located in a certain area of Japan.
From the current point of view, it is just a news about tourist attractions.
However, when this content was specially cut out of a newspaper, put together with a stack of photos, and placed in such an exquisite box and locked, the meaning was completely different.
In a few photos, all the hostesses were taken. There's a picture of her with a young man, and a picture of her in a shrine maiden costume sweeping the yard with a broom.
Huh
I pointed to the photo of her maiden costume, and asked Yang Yi, "She should have taken this photo in the garden. Look behind her, there are two houses, the one where we are, and the one next to it."
He nodded, guessing: "Then this man is the former owner of this house?"
It should be right.
There is almost only the figure of the hostess in the photos. She is wearing a traditional Japanese kimono and smiling while standing beside the cherry tree, which is quiet and charming.
The way she plays with her young children and braids her daughter's hair in front of the vanity mirror is reflected in the yellowed photos.
When we flipped to the last photo, I was blown away.
The hostess was standing beside the hostess in the traditional Japanese white kimono. Both of them were wearing traditional Japanese wedding dresses, looking at the camera with happy smiles on their faces.
"Looks like it's just an ordinary family photo." Yang Yi said, but I have a different opinion.
"Not necessarily, I think there is something strange."
Yang Yi looked at me puzzled, and I lowered my eyebrows to help him sort out his thoughts.
"First of all, why is this house called a haunted house?"
"After we entered the door, we should have seen most of the house and the inner room. Don't you think it's weird? All the furniture and layout are so neat and intact, it doesn't look like the family has encountered disaster, or bankrupted."
I pointed to a part of the text on Yang Yi's scroll: "'The family was destroyed overnight for unknown reasons', do you think this place looks like it was destroyed?"
Yang Yi looked at me in surprise, I knew he understood me.
"Then the description on this scroll is wrong?"
"I'm not sure about this. Rather than saying it's wrong, it's more like hiding something from us. Grandpa An, or the person in charge of the entrusting center must know the real situation of this mission, otherwise how could it be rated as S level."
Yang Yi affirmed what I said, and he added: "There is no signal here, and several of my teammates have disappeared. There is definitely something wrong with this house."
I also took out the piece of paper from Riyue Mountain and handed it to him: "The hostess must be related to this Riyue Mountain, tell me... Could she be a priestess from a certain shrine on Riyue Mountain?"
Yang Yi frowned, thought for a few seconds, nodded slightly and said, "There is a possibility... Hey, wait a minute, there is a layer in the lid."
Surprised, I leaned over to see that his fingers were poking at the wooden board at the bottom of the box lid, knocking a few times now and then.
Using his index finger very skillfully, he pressed hard on all sides of the wooden board, took out the key from his pocket, and pried open a corner of the wooden board.
Eh? Or a photo
But why are these photos placed in the interlayer of the cover
He gently pulled out a few photos hidden behind the wooden board. We took a closer look and fell into a silent contemplation.
A small dark room that resembles my dark marriage was built on a high cliff. A group of people in strange costumes walked towards the house with a long coffin in their hands.
In their hands, they all held long things with feathers and paper ribbons hanging down from the top.
In the background, there is a big and round moon.
The moon shines on the water below. I don't know whether the mountain is near the sea or the lake.
