This is a house with three entrances and three exits.Fang and Jiang entered the vertical flower gate, and saw the statue standing in the middle of the courtyard at a glance.

That thing is like a group of people being twisted together, but stretching out its arms as if trying to escape, exuding a creepy and weird aura.

Chen Yan walked forward without feeling anything, and touched it with his hand: "It's so rough, is it carved from dead wood?"

Fang Jiang approached, took a closer look at the face on the statue who shouted the same expression, and said seriously: "According to my years of game experience, most of the real NPCs have changed into their current appearance due to certain things."

"And the reason is probably that we need to decipher the task. After obtaining the relevant important props, put them in the hands of the corresponding characters."

"Well," Chen Yan counted the outstretched arms and faces: "There are seven, I don't know who they are."

"Look around first, maybe there will be clues." Fang Jiang looked at the young man and asked, "Where do you want to go?"

Chen Yan pointed to the front and said, "Then let's start from the main room."

"Okay, let's go."

The two pushed open the door of the main hall, and the room that was originally used to entertain guests was full of memorial tablets.

In the middle is a man named Shi Mingzhuo.

"Since it's Shi Zhai, could this be the master?" Chen Yan asked.

"It's possible." Fang Jiang walked around the tablet twice, "According to the position of the tablet, Feng Man should be the wife, this Shi Zhang is the young master, and Sun Lianxiao next to him is probably the young lady."

"Then Ji Huacheng, glaze smoke..." Chen Yan's voice paused, "What is Cuihua's identity?"

"Ji Huacheng doesn't know, glaze smoke and..." Fang Jiang couldn't help but paused, "Cuihua sounds like the name of a servant girl."

"It's different from the names A, B, C, and Ding in the back who don't get distracted at first glance, these two people must have a story." Chen Yan said, and suddenly said "Huh".

"what happened?"

"There's an unnamed tablet here." Chen Yan said, "In this case, the plot has not yet been triggered, right?"

"If it's not a bug, there's a good chance it is."

In the main hall, apart from these tablets, there is only an incense burner on the table, in which there is a stick of incense the size of a child's wrist, nothing else.

"Go to the next room, left and right?" Fang Jiang asked.

"left."

"Looking at the furnishings in this house, it's probably the last dynasty," Fang Jiang said while pushing open the door. "At that time, the left was the most respected, so this should be the master's bedroom."

Suddenly, a phantom struck.

In the hazy light and shadow, a middle-aged man stood in the middle of the room with his back to them.There seemed to be a woman kneeling in front of him, but because he couldn't change the angle of his gaze, he couldn't see her face clearly.

The middle-aged man's voice echoed in the room: "As long as you give birth to a son for the Shi family, you can leave."

"The son of the Shi family."

"The Shi family."

The figures of the two disappeared at the end of the words, but the vision in the room continued.

Many black, cinder-like particles floated in the air, sticking to the furniture, as soon as people walked over, they avoided it lightly.

Chen Yan wanted to pick one up to see what it was, but with his skill, he couldn't catch it no matter what.

"Untouchable settings." Fang Jiang said as he walked to the desk by the window and flipped through the books on it, "Maybe there will be some effect later."

Hearing this, Chen Yan stopped being obsessed with the small cinders and searched for the display rack on the other side.

He picked up a blood coral ornament and asked, "The phantom we saw just now must have happened in this room before."

"Ah."

"The man should be the master of the Shi family, right? What about the woman? It must not be the wife, concubine? The housemaid?"

"Probably..." Fang Jiang paused, and a piece of paper fell out of the page, "Do you know the pawn wife?"

Chen Yan shook his head.

"To put it simply, it means pawning your own wife to give birth to someone else." Fang Jiang handed over the pawn deed in his hand, and said, "So, pawn wife is also called renting belly."

Chen Yan thought for a while: "Cuckold yourself?"

"Women at that time were not considered human beings. There was no such thing as a hat in the transaction of money and goods." Fang Jiang sighed, "Fortunately, we live in today's era."

"Cargo?" Chen Yan lowered his eyes and said lightly, "That means you are lucky to live in a good country."

At this moment, a baby's crying sounded, which happened to cover the young man's words, and the two looked at the source of the sound in unison.

"It came from the courtyard." Fang Jiang said immediately.

Chen Yan asked: "Go out and have a look?"

Fang Jiang was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "Emperor Emperor, Dihuanghuang, there is a night cryer in my house..."

He finished reading the first half of the ballad, and the crying stopped instantly.

"Does it work so quickly?" Chen Yan asked in surprise.

Fang Jiang was also a little surprised.

Chen Yan said: "Are you still going to see it?"

"Ah."

The two walked to the courtyard and found that Bai Xiao and Si Nan were already there.

Fang Jiang asked: "Have you found anything unusual?"

"If you're talking about the crying of a child, it's all over the yard, and I can't tell where it came from," Bai Xiao said, "If you mean the place we went to before, there is, there is a big one."

Go west after entering the gate, and on the left is the inverted house, where the servants live.

Since the door faced north, the windows facing the courtyard were blocked by the veranda, so the light was not good.

After they entered, a musty smell hit their faces. Bai Xiao subconsciously covered his nose and looked around.

There is a row of Datong bunks near the wall in the house, which can probably sleep seven or eight people.The sun only shines two steps away from the door, and you can vaguely see thin gray quilts spread messily on it.

There was a chamber pot in the corner, and two tables under the window with a teapot with a spout missing and a worn-out drinking glass. These were all the furnishings in the room.

Bai Xiao raised his hand and waved the floating dust in front of his eyes and said, "It's clear at a glance, it doesn't seem to be useful."

Si Nan frowned and said, "There is something on the bed."

Hearing the words, Bai Xiao leaned forward and widened her eyes: "What?"

At this time, he saw that there seemed to be a piece of cloth dangling at the place where the head of the bed was against the wall.

"Curtains?" Bai Xiao subconsciously reached out and tugged.

As soon as he pulled it on, he felt something was wrong: the window was behind him, how could there be any curtains on the wall?

As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw a thin body falling down straight.

Fortunately, Si Nan pulled him away quickly with his sharp eyes and hands.

The body hit the bed, kicking up a cloud of dust.After they dispersed, they noticed that the corpse was actually a servant who had been charred.

Taking a closer look, there was a row of charred corpses standing all over the bed, at least seventeen or eight.

Bai Xiaonan, Feng Dujia, blinked in bewilderment.He hesitated for a while, then slowly lifted the fallen body up, and carefully inserted it back into the gap.

"Let's change places."

Si Nan said: "Maybe there are clues in these corpses."

Bai Xiao was not sure: "You mean, you want to touch them one by one?"

"Hiding clues in places that people fear and dare not approach is quite a common technique." Sinan said.

"What you said..." Bai Xiao admitted with difficulty, "It does make sense."

"I start on the left, you start on the right."

"it is good."

Si Nan stood on the bed, with a cold expression on his face, and checked the burnt corpse neatly.

Bai Xiao tilted her head and looked at it for a while, turned back silently, stretched out her hand, and muttered in her mouth: "There is no taboo, there is no taboo, the sky is still bright, it stands to reason that it is not time for you to jump around..."

The two were touching when they heard the baby crying from outside.

Bai Xiao didn't struggle as much as Fang Jiang and the others, and didn't think of the jingle for a while. He and Sinan ran directly to the Chuhuamen, carefully observed the situation in the courtyard outside, and made sure there was no dangerous abnormality before going in to find the source of the sound. .

However, the baby's crying stopped soon, and after meeting Chen Yan, he realized that it was because of the jingle.

"I don't know what the mystery is?" Sinan asked.

Fang Jiang replied: "I can't see it at the moment. But my intuition says that this is most likely a trap, somewhere we haven't noticed."

"Do you feel that the time seems to pass a little fast?" Chen Yan raised his head slightly, interrupting the conversation between the two, "It was still a big sun at noon when we entered the room, but now it has already set here."

Fang Jiang looked solemn: "Do you still remember the words in the jingle?"

"The deceased gathered in the house at midnight?" Bai Xiao immediately answered.

"Although specious countermeasures have been mentioned, I still tend to look for the existence of a 'safe house' first." Fang Jiang said, "There is not much time. Let's go through all the rooms as soon as possible. The careful search can be done tomorrow." continue."

The opinions of the four quickly reached a consensus.

Fang Jiang continued to check the master bedroom and the side rooms on both sides. Chen Yan was in charge of the east room, Bai Xiao was in charge of the west room, and Si Nan went to the farthest back room.

In addition to the hallucinations in the master bedroom, several people also encountered strange scenes in some other rooms.

In the second bedroom, the servant sat by the side of the bed, holding the weak young master in his arms, and feeding him medicine;

The luxuriously dressed old woman in the kitchen smashed the soup bowl madly;

In the West Wing, a woman with a pregnant belly covered her head with gold and silver ornaments;

In the private school in the East Wing, elegantly dressed young men embraced intimately with curly-haired young women;

The only difference is the back room, which keeps flashing bloodstains along the way, all the way to the dry well at the corner.

These hallucinations alone provided them with an unexpectedly large amount of information, but the problem was—no one saw a house similar to the "safe house".

When they met again in the courtyard, the sun had disappeared over the horizon.

"Could it be the mourning hall in the main hall?" Bai Xiao guessed, "I remember that there are similar settings in some games."

"Try it." Fang Jiang said, "Do you remember the second half of the jingle? We have to be prepared."

After all, the tablets of other people's homes are not so much used to ward off evil spirits, but more like attracting Yin, but I don't know if the stick of incense has any special function.

The four entered the mourning hall.

As night fell, there was a sound in the dead courtyard.

Under the moonlight, the translucent figure of a scrawny young man emerged from the statue.

He staggered around and let out a scream: "Why? Why did you kill me?! Who killed me?!"

Everyone in the house hid behind the door and observed secretly.

Chen Yan moved his nose suddenly: "It stinks, it seems to come from behind."

He glanced back and whispered, "Shi Zhang's spirit card is bleeding?"

Everyone turned around and looked around.

Sure enough, the mahogany tablet with the young master's name was bubbling out a foul-smelling liquid.

They were studying, when Bai Xiao noticed out of the corner of his eye that there was a figure on his left side at some point.

He is now on the far side, with his right arm leaning against Simon, and on the other side...

Bai Xiao turned his head tremblingly, and bumped into the ghost who kept vomiting blood from the corner of his mouth.

Shi Zhang opened his mouth and looked at him with empty eyes.

"Did you kill me?"
