People came upstairs one after another. Yin Lian's death was undoubtedly a huge blow to morale. Yu Zhisong, Hong Zehao and others showed disbelief.
"What's going on? How long have you been here? Where are your things? Are they useless?" Although Wei Boyong has always been at odds with Yin Lian, he still can't believe it when he actually sees someone dead.
"The ghost's murder only happened in an instant. We only reacted when we heard the movement. By that time, the person was already dead." Ling Yan briefly described the situation at that time. At that time, the people downstairs had just received the message and were discussing it. They ignored the three people upstairs for a while. They didn't expect that something happened in such a short period of time.
"So it's a mirror?" Yu Zhisong stood at the door of the bathroom and tilted his head to look at the situation inside. "She smashed a mirror before she died? Do you think the ghost is in the mirror?"
"It must be in the mirror." Lu Ning said.
"How do you know? Maybe she was restrained and wanted to make some noise to attract your attention." Wei Boyong still didn't believe it.
"Sister Yin Lian told me that even if she died, she would kill the ghost. Since she smashed the mirror, the ghost must be there."
"Tch, people don't have that much thought when they are about to die..." Wei Boyong glanced at it again, "Where's the knife?"
"In my hand."
"What are you, a little girl, doing with so many things, and you don't know how to use them? You can protect you by giving them to us." Wei Boyong said and wanted to walk over, but was stopped directly in the corridor by Yu Zhisong and Ling Yan.
"Sorry, I really know how to use it. Besides, I am the one who can control your life and death now. Don't have that attitude towards me."
"Hey, after that woman died, you started showing off again, right?" Wei Boyong's eyes widened. Lu Ning was not afraid of him. She jumped out of bed and walked closer. She passed Wei Boyong and shouted to the back: "Uncle Zhang Fuyuan, you are wearing a You have a lighter, right? Lend it to me?"
Zhang Fuyuan simply threw a disposable lighter into the room from the door, and it fell accurately into Lu Ning's arms.
"Thanks."
Lu Ning took out the golden prayer statue - Yin Lian had secretly transferred this to her bathrobe before, but it didn't matter that it was exposed now. She pressed the lighter and held the bottom of the gold statue close to the flame to burn for a while. She didn't know whether it was because it was gold or for some other reason. The gold statue was only heated and did not change color at all. Lu Ning saw that it was burnt. It was almost done. He put out the lighter in his left hand, turned over his hand and pressed the bottom of the golden statue on the back of his hand.
"What are you doing!" Wei Boyong hurriedly reached out to grab it, but he was still blocked by Yu Zhisong and Ling Yan and couldn't get closer.
The pain actually made Lu Ning's mind become more focused, and even his condition seemed to be much lighter. After waiting for a while, she lifted the golden statue and found a square burn on her arm.
"If I had told Sister Yin Lian earlier, she would not have died." Lu Ning glanced at herself with some mockery. Immediately after discovering the use of the golden statue, Shi Song was killed in front of her. A series of shocks made her almost forget about this thing. I didn't remember until I woke up this morning and touched it. As a result, Yin Lian was quickly killed before she could even mention it.
"Even if you are sad, there is no need to hurt yourself!" Wei Boyong came over in no hurry, waved his hand and took two steps back, "We don't have to ask for your things."
"This brand can block ghost attacks. Of course, I don't know how many times it can be blocked. If you believe it, burn one on yourself too." Lu Ning threw the golden statue to Yu Zhisong. He immediately understood after taking it. I asked for a lighter and did the same thing, burning one on my body.
With the second one, there will be a third one. Wei Boyong originally said something like, "This girl is in a bad mood and hurts herself and wants to drag us along with her", but no one present has read the collection catalog several times. ? This thing is indeed on the catalog. It won't hurt if you iron it. If it is really useful, wouldn't it make a lot of money? So the golden statue immediately became a hot commodity after it was transferred to Yu Zhisong and Ling Yan, and they all took it to have it stamped.
"What are you going to do? Lu Ning." Ling Yan turned around and asked.
"Cause trouble for the ghost, buy time, and find a way to accomplish what Sister Yin Lian wanted to do before."
Lu Ning tied the dagger to her waist, just like Yin Lian did before.
"Then, this is for you." Ling Yan put the message in the bottle into her hand, "I'm better at physical matters. Since Yin Lian trusted you so much before, you should be responsible for finishing it. Also, See what the last thing she wants to tell you is."
"Thank you, then...can you let me be alone for a while?"
Yu Zhisong frowned: "Quiet alone? In this situation? Don't make fun of your own life, okay?"
Lu Ning shook her head: "I won't...forget it, I'm sure, I'm in this room, the ghost can't kill me."
"Did you find anything?" Ling Yan asked.
"Yes, but I can't guarantee it if you two stay here. As for this discovery... I'm sorry that I'm not sure about other special conditions yet. It's best not to mislead you anymore."
"Now that you say so... we are downstairs. If anything happens, just shout out and I will come as soon as possible." Ling Yan said.
"Me too." Yu Zhisong also nodded to her.
Yin Lian's body has been moved to another room, but the bathroom has not been cleaned yet. Lu Ning will not let others interfere and just keep the status quo.
After you were completely alone, you returned to the bathroom.
The blood is still thick, but the person is no longer there.
She picked up the clothes in the sink. Yin Lian's blood fell into the water and dyed the clothes inside red again. Now when she took them out, there were some broken glass mixed in. It was almost a mess.
"Probably, it can't be washed clean."
Lu Ning muttered to herself, took out the clothes and shook them a few times, removed the broken glass and squeezed out the water, took them back to the house, turned on the heater and started drying the clothes. The sky was bright outside the window, but the clouds could not completely block the sunlight, making the house even brighter.
The diary in Yin Lian's hand was placed on the bedside. Lu Ning took it over carefully and found that several pages had been dog-eared. Inside were Tang Yuanzhen's records on the use of collectibles and occult knowledge. .
Lu Ning felt her nose was a little sore at the moment. She thought about it, took out the message in the bottle, pulled out the cork at the mouth of the bottle, and carefully poured out the paper roll inside.
There were a few lines written in printed text on the note, not much, but no nonsense.
[If the dagger can kill it, it's one less ghost. If it can't, it's something to kill the third ghost. The diary in my hand also records information about Tang Yuanzhen’s secret room. The few collections that were not found should be there, but the location of the secret room is not recorded. Other diaries may need to be found...]
That's it.
"I will find it, Sister Yin Lian." Lu Ning gently smoothed the note in her hand, rerolled it, and put it back into the small bottle. Then she picked up the diary and started browsing the folded pages.
【Rain on July 2nd
The commotion in the laboratory has subsided and the inner ghost has been found out. Unfortunately, Alin killed him before he could be caught. But does this kid think he can hide any secrets by dying early? Naive people will never understand what terrible methods there are in this world.
Rain on July 3rd
I hate continuous rainy weather.
To prevent anyone from sneaking into the lab, I placed the video recorder there so it could be quickly accessed if the alarm went off.
Originally, as long as I didn't covet the "secrets" of the Tang family, I had always turned a blind eye to the property information and so on, but this seemed to be considered weak and could be bullied. It's time for them to remember their fears.
Sunny on July 5th
The three moles have been executed, which seems to have deterred those with evil intentions. But I’m getting old, and I don’t know how long I can continue to support you. Down’s syndrome cannot fall into the hands of those greedy guys, but today’s young people are not considered to be talented. How about asking my old man? What about friends?
Cloudy on July 7th
Finally waited until today.
It seems that the boy still hasn't figured out what's going on with him. The boundary between death and life is actually blurred in the eyes of people like us, and what secret can a mere ghost hide?
But I didn’t expect that someone would actually be interested in the blood of the divine bird. Is the temptation of eternal life really that great? Don't they think about it, if they can really gain eternal life, why am I still getting older year after year? Greed has blinded them, and I must take action. 】
Yin Lian circled a few words in four consecutive diaries with a pen. Laboratory, video recorder, three moles, blood of the divine bird, immortality.
Lu Ning could understand the meaning of these words. The laboratory was a facility that did not exist in the main house they inspected, and it did not appear on the map. It should be the "secret room" in Yin Lian's last words; the video recorder and The blood of the divine bird is something also recorded in the collection catalog; there are question marks next to the three ghosts, and I don’t know if it is related to the three ghosts; the final immortality... is probably something similar to motivation, the whole This may have something to do with why the villa became like this.
But to what extent has Yin Lian thought about it? Has she figured out the killing restrictions for the remaining ghost? Or have you thought of a better way to deal with ghosts?
However, Lu Ning is not Yin Lian after all.
What she hopes is not that everyone can get out alive together, but that she can survive - she has no sense of responsibility, and will not be affected by the death of strangers. Shi Song, Yin Lian, and perhaps the more familiar Gongsun You, Yu Zhisong and Ling Yan among the remaining people. The remaining people were not within the scope of Lu Ning's consideration.
"I need to wait until the invisible ghost kills people today...and act within this safe period."
Lu Ning closed her notes, picked up the clothes that were almost dry and put them on. Yin Lian put her belongings on the bedside table. Wu Zhimiang was also there, but even with this thing, Lu Ning didn't plan to risk going out alone. .
She cherishes her life.
