Chapter 083 1552 Haunted House (15)
The APP started counting down, and Xie Chi joined the animal camp without hesitation.
After the conversation, the three of them left the room. Ren Ze and Lu Wen went to look for possible corpses, while Xie Chi went to the room with the charcoal-grilled suckling lamb dish to find the second sign.
Thanks to You Jing, everyone was sent away to search for teeth in various places in the mansion, and Xie Chi easily entered the room where the dish was.
In addition to raw monkey brains, three squeaks, and charcoal-grilled suckling lamb, the remaining three dishes are donkey meat, grilled turtle, and baby soup.
The body was in the middle of the bed, unattended.
Just as Xie Chi was about to conduct a thorough search, he discovered a red rope around the neck of the corpse.
He had a good memory, and the corpse didn't have this thing on its neck before.
Xie Chi pulled lightly and the red rope came down. There was a sign hanging at the end of the red rope, which read - Charcoal-grilled suckling lamb.
Xie Chi secretly felt lucky that the sign was refreshed in such an obvious place. If he hadn't timed it right, it would have been troublesome if someone else got there first.
After putting the second sign into the APP backpack, Xie Chi prepared to meet up with Lu Wen. He walked out of the room. The lights in the corridor flickered a few times and suddenly went out. It was suddenly pitch black all around.
There was a little light coming from the second floor near the stairs. Xie Chi was alert, holding the evil spirit blade tightly and walked quickly towards the stairs. There was silence all around. When he reached the corner, just as Xie Chi was about to turn around, Ren Ze on the stairs screamed, "Be careful!"
At the blind spot of the corner, a white horse rushed towards him like lightning, so fast that Xie Chi had no time to react.
The thing almost turned into a white shadow. Xie Xinglan could only choose to avoid the vital points and block it with his hands. When the horn on the horse's head was about to hit his side, time suddenly and strangely stopped.
The skin was already feeling the stinging pain of being cut, and the horse's horns, which were just within reach, actually retreated a little.
With this few tenths of a second buffer, when the horse rushed over again, Xie Xinglan had already grasped the horse's horns with ease.
Only then did he see clearly that it was a donkey, a hairless white donkey, but with a horn on its head, making it look a bit like a unicorn.
There is a dish name tag hanging on the donkey's horn.
The donkey was still charging, and Xie Xinglan's palms were torn and bleeding. He quickly pulled the small tag off the donkey's horn and then let go.
The donkey seemed unwilling to give up and bumped into Xie Xinglan a few more times. This time, Xie Xinglan was well prepared and dodged them one by one without any harm.
The donkey finally rushed into the darkness and disappeared.
Holding the sign in the palm of his hand, Xie Xinglan glanced from between his fingers to his palm and saw clearly the three words "Stir-fried Donkey Meat" on the sign.
They actually found the third brand in a short time.
Xie Xinglan put the sign for the third dish, "Donkey Meat with Sauce", into his backpack.
"Xiaochi? Are you okay?"
"Brother." Xie Chi's voice was slightly deep, "We should have been the third dish to die."
"Hmm? There was more than one dish that had problems on the table last night: the beggar's chicken? Which other dish was it?"
Xie Chi recalled the names of the dishes he got from Zhao Jinhua, "I had the chicken cut into pieces with oil-soaked soup, and this one should be a variation of the donkey meat."
So there were actually two dishes that were problematic last night.
There was a lot of noise here and everyone noticed it. Fortunately, Xie Xinglan took down the sign quickly and was not discovered.
Ren Ze and Lu Wen ran up: "Are you okay?"
Xie Chi still remembered the strangeness just now, "It seems like time has gone backwards just now, did you use any props?"
Lu Wen pointed at Ren Ze and said in sudden realization: "He was playing with his watch just now!"
Xie Chi's eyes fell on Ren Ze's watch, and he thought that it turned out to be his prop.
"Don't thank me. My sister asked me to use it, not me."
Xie Chi thought he was awkward, clicked his tongue, and asked, "What function?"
Ren Ze didn't hide it either, he took the watch off his hand and threw it to Xie Chi, "You will know once you take a look at it."
Xie Chi took it, glanced at the dial, and surprise flashed in his eyes.
There are twelve scales on the dial, similar to an ordinary watch, but there is only one needle on the watch, and the needle is now pointing to eight.
Ren Ze explained: "This watch is called 'Twelve Seconds' and can only be dialed backwards. Every time you dial one second, time goes back one second."
Xie Chi understood, "You just rewind one second?"
Ren Ze nodded, raised his eyebrows, and waited for Xie Chi to praise his props.
Xie Chi praised him a few times in a serious manner, and when he saw that he was satisfied, he continued to ask: "Is it a consumable item? It only lasts twelve seconds?"
"Yes." Ren Ze felt a little regretful, "It's gone after I dial it."
He shrugged. "But this thing is useless to me. If I were really in a critical situation, would I have the time to turn the clock? By the time I finish turning it, the daylily will be cold."
Lu Wen thought that this seemed to be the case, and he managed to hold back his laughter. After receiving a glare from Ren Ze, he said seriously, "Your tool can help others."
Ren Ze glanced at him and asked, "Do you know more about the Lone Wolf player?"
"Someone doesn't want me." Ren Ze said angrily.
Xie Chi: “…”
Ren Ze went downstairs to look for the body first.
…
It was four o'clock in the morning, not far from dawn. A group of people gathered downstairs. Zhao Jinhua closed his eyes and communicated with the female ghost through spiritualism.
"I found a tooth. I'll put it on the table in the living room. Come and get it."
"Okay...thank you." The voice in my mind was very hoarse.
Zhao Jinhua opened his eyes and winked at You Jing, who turned off the lights in the living room.
In the darkness, Xie Chi and the other two stood on the fence on the second floor, looking at the strange scene below that looked like a game of pen spirits, with the corners of their mouths curled up.
His guess would soon be confirmed.
Lu Ming was killed by the cannibal ghost. Why did the cannibal ghost choose Lu Ming? Why did the cannibal ghost not appear and attack anyone on the first night he came here?
Did Lu Ming trigger some death conditions and was killed by the cannibal?
If teeth are really small valves as he metaphorically said, then when the valves are closed, he has every reason to suspect that the female ghost would not be able to kill people in that situation.
Only when the valve is opened will the water flow out secretly and wet the ignorant people.
Once all the valves are opened, Pandora's box will be opened, and at that time, they will be facing cannibals without any constraints.
Xie Chi smiled lightly. If that was the case, he was not going to stop it.
He is not a savior and is not interested in the life and death of others. Even if those people have no choice, they are standing against him. He has no time to care about other people's difficulties. People have to pay the price for their stupidity.
In a place like this, it is normal to plunder vitality. If he really wants to follow the most primitive law of the jungle, then he is willing to give his heart to the devil in exchange for his brother's company.
All he had to do was move faster than them.
Ren Ze frowned. He always felt that although Xie Chi blended gently into the crowd, he always revealed loneliness and destructive and oppressive arrogant narcissism at certain moments.
"Let's go, there's nothing to see, let's continue looking for the body." Xie Chi turned around and said.
The two nodded.
When You Jing looked up, there was no one at the railing on the second floor.
"Ah!" The actress' scream brought him back to his senses.
In the dim light, a pale hand stretched out from the closet. Like a white snake, it swung flexibly, and with a light hook of its fingertips, it took the equally pale tooth into its pocket.
Before the few people even had time to see the ghost's true appearance, she disappeared.
At the same time, several people's cell phones lit up.
[Female ghost camp mission progress: 1/6, actor Zhao Jinhua found the first tooth for the female ghost. ]
You Jing let out a breath and smiled triumphantly. When he found all his teeth, it would be time for him to deal with Xie Chi.
…
[Why is it one-sixth? ? ? The one from Lu Ming before? ? This is clearly the second one, did the APP send it to the wrong person? ? ? How is it possible? I have never encountered such a situation before! ]
[I have a terrible guess...]
[Oh my god! Could it be that the task was issued by a female ghost?! The APP is just an intermediary to convey the message! ! ]
【Front!】
[This is the only possible explanation! How cunning! My Tianchi God is right! The female ghost wanted to throw dirty water on the male ghost who was not sure whether he existed or not, so that everyone would mistakenly believe that he killed Lu Ming! ]
[In fact, I think that APP is more like a witness and arbitrator in a signed contract. If both parties do not act in accordance with their mutual agreement, APP will punish both parties.]
[Were You Jing and the others deceived? Did they find a way out? I don’t think it’s that simple.]
…
After searching for the tooth for a whole night, everyone was tired. It was almost dawn now. You Jing looked at the yawning people, waved his hand, and said generously, "Let's all go and have a rest."
Everyone returned to their rooms to rest. The bright light outside gave them a great sense of security.
Xie Chi and the other two still got nothing.
"Why don't you guys go get some sleep? I can continue looking." Xie Chi said.
Both shook their heads and refused. Ren Ze frowned, "We have searched all around and found nothing. Should we start destroying the wall?"
Xie Chi sighed. They had indeed searched everything they should have. Now there seemed to be no other way except to destroy the walls and floors.
"Then let's go upstairs and get the tools." Xie Chi said.
There is a utility room in the corner of the second floor with some tools that can help them.
The three of them went upstairs together, and when they smelled a strong smell of blood, their faces suddenly changed.
"This room!" Ren Ze was close by and pointed at the room next to him.
Ren Ze went to turn the doorknob, and the door was locked from the inside.
Xie Chi made a prompt decision: "Get out of the way."
Ren Ze pushed it open immediately, and the next second, Xie Xinglan came out, took two steps back, sprinted and kicked, and the door opened.
A pair of feet dangled in front of them. The three of them slowly raised their heads, their pupils shrinking.
The mansion was still the same as it was twenty years ago. Hanging on the old-fashioned ceiling fan was an actor, his neck stuck between the two blades, his legs dangling helplessly in the air. His eyes were tightly closed, his mouth was wide open, his face was purple from suffocation, and his body was covered in blood, which kept flowing out from the holes in his body, dripping onto the bed at his feet, soaking the sheets.
The body was slowly spinning with the ceiling fan, and at a glance, the actor's heart, kidneys, and tongue were missing.
