When he first saw the dark room, Jiang Jinjiu felt bad.
The house has two spires. The one on the left is thin and tall, higher than the body of the house. Even the windows and doors at the bottom are narrow and tall.
The spire on the right is short and fat, and the eaves are more than half a meter. The windows and doors below are short and wide. The doors are placed horizontally like regular doors, which is very weird.
The scene in front of me was like a man with strange facial features wearing a big bamboo hat and a spike, smiling inexplicably at the visitor.
It's unscientific, uncoordinated, and makes people uncomfortable no matter how you look at it.
And strange sounds came intermittently, and Ruoyouruowu could not hear them clearly. Sometimes it sounded like the creak of an old door shaft turning, sometimes like the sound of a pile of stones falling on the floor, sometimes like the sound of dry branches being broken.
The sound will not become clear as the distance decreases, it will always be vague.
"Hey!" Qin Xuan exclaimed, "What a surprise. The Phantom Mansion is quite artistic and its shape is unusual."
Jiang Jinjiu asked, "Is it true that the things here are very powerful?"
Qin Xuan said, "When things go wrong, there must be monsters who can create special spaces. Those things are very unusual. I don't feel very good now. I feel that everything here is too deliberate and does not look like it was formed naturally."
"Qinxuan's, do you mean it's man-made?"
"It's impossible. It's impossible for humans to create such an illusion. But... it can be promoted indirectly."
"Indirect? What, indirect method?"
"The most important condition for the Phantom Mansion is that there must be an evil thing staying here. If you can catch a few ghosts and tie them here, and use the evil array to cultivate them, there is about a 60% chance of success."
"No way! Do you think those few were raised by humans?"
"It's hard to say. You'll know if you get a chance to catch one."
With that said, several people came to the black room.
The black room has two floors, each floor is estimated to be 150 square meters. The foundation and main walls are made of bluestone blocks, while the rest of the building is made of wood. The surface of the house is covered with black moss, so that the house looks black.
"What's going on?" Li Er said suddenly, "I can't see my eyes!?"
Everyone looked around and saw that there was black energy around Li Er's eyes, which dissipated after a while.
Qin Xuan said, "It's okay, Second Master, it's just that Gui Cong has failed."
"It's so fast, can't you keep using it? It works pretty well."
"This is the first time Er Ye has used it. It will be longer and more stable in the future. You were interrupted due to interference at this moment. The ghost energy in this room is very strong. If you use ghost clairvoyance, you will suffer backlash."
"No wonder, just now I saw it was pitch black inside the house, and it seemed like something was flying. Hey! I can see it now, it's normal now."
Li Er's eyes returned to normal, and Qin Xuan walked towards the door.
The door is unlocked and opens when pulled. Qin Xuan asked Jiang Jinjiu, Xu Zhiwen, and Ma Chao to wait at the door while she and Li Er went to explore the way.
The entrance is the entrance hall, and there are stairs leading to the second floor. Go right and follow the walkway to a long corridor, with small rooms separated by wooden boards on both sides.
The first room on the left has no windows or door panels, and is only covered with white cloth. There was only room for a single bed in the room. Under the wooden bed was a dark green iron washbasin, the paint on the bottom of which was peeling and rusty.
The bed was covered with a woven straw mat. It looked like it had been used for a long time. The middle was dented and the edges were damaged in many places, especially the head. The grass inside was exposed. Moreover, the straw mat was stained with many dark red stains, which Li Er judged to be blood stains. It had been a long time, and there were sporadic blood stains on the four walls.
The room opposite was roughly the same, but there was an apple that was so rotten that it turned black on the bed.
Looking at the next room, it's still the same situation. The difference is that there is graffiti on the wall, and many birds are drawn with white chalk.
Continuing to look at the rooms, the situation in the rooms is more or less the same, there are twenty-two rooms in total. The traces in the last room were unusual. There were 33 scratches in total that seemed to record the number of days carved on the wall next to the bed. There was a hollow in the wall opposite the bed, as if struck with a round-headed blunt instrument.
The first floor couldn't see why, so the two went to the second floor.
There is a ladder on the second floor leading to the spire above. From the outside, the spire looks like a cone, but from the inside it looks like an oval. A recliner and a small round table were placed on it. There were six glass windows more than one meter high on the wall, evenly distributed in a circle. Each window was only two palms long and one palm wide. This was actually a sentry tower.
However, the strange thing is that this place seems to have been burned by fire, the walls are blackened, and a large area of the surface of the lounge chair and small round table is scorched, but the ground is smooth and clean, as if the fire was sprayed out by something.
After checking to no avail, Qinxuan turned to a vertical corridor next to the stairs. There was a row of strange shelves standing on the wall. One meter high, with a flat plate at the bottom and a wavy groove at the top, like a shelf for placing sticks.
Li Er immediately recognized that it was a wooden shelf used to hold rifles, and both of them were puzzled once he said it.
There are no more clues, so we can only continue to explore.
There is a door in the middle of the corridor, and inside is the dressing room. The clothes are placed on square shelves made of wooden boards. The shelves are fixed on the wall. There is a piece of cloth hanging on each grid, and the cloth is numbered.
Further inside is the bathroom, which is very spacious and can be seen at a glance. There are three large baths in the middle. There are no showers, but the four walls are covered with faucets more than half a meter high.
As soon as I entered the bathroom, the atmosphere immediately changed.
The air was not only moist, but also cool. There was a hissing sound in the gray space, as if there were snakes swimming in the dark.
Qin Xuan and Li Er listened carefully and explored carefully.
At this time, Jiang Jinjiu was a little impatient with the wait, so he asked Xu Zhiwen, "Is your female companion here too?"
He nodded, and Jiang Jinjiu continued to ask, "Where are they?"
He pointed to the second floor and said, "They should be hiding in the attic, but...if anyone is there, they should come out."
"You mean they were not in the house when they were in danger."
"I just noticed that I have been here for three days."
"Three days!?" Jiang Jinjiu exclaimed in shock, "How is that possible! We met yesterday in the afternoon. I came half a day later than you at most, so why are we only three days behind!"
Xu Zhiwen raised his wrist, showed his watch and said, "Look, it says Thursday on my watch."
Jiang Jinjiu looked intently and saw that it was indeed Thursday, and the day he met them was Monday. It was really three days different!
"Maybe your watch is broken."
"It's impossible. This watch is a Swiss watch worth 6,000 yuan. It's waterproof and anti-fall."
Jiang Jinjiu still didn't want to admit, "Then it's not ghost-proof."
"What does it have to do with ghosts?"
"You didn't know that ghosts can interfere with electronic products. For example, your mobile phone will definitely have no signal here."
"No, there is a signal."
"What!?" Jiang Jinjiu felt embarrassed. He took out his mobile phone and saw that the signal was full!
Jiang Jinjiu refused to give up and dialed Qinxuan's number.
After the ringing, a soft female voice said, "Hello, this is Tianjing Property. How can I help you?"
what's the situation? Jiang Jinjiu looked at the number and saw that it was correct. He broke off and hit again, and a rough man's voice came out: "Hey!"
Jiang Jinjiu whispered, "Master?"
"Master? Who are you looking for?"
He was sure that the voice was not Li Er's. "Sorry, it was a typo."
what's the situation? Why is it that everyone is calling someone else?
He asked Xu Zhiwen, "Have you ever called? Did you also call someone else?"
Xu Zhiwen nodded, "All our phones have run out of battery, and we haven't been able to call 110."
"Then you didn't ask strangers for help?"
"I've tried it. Either we think we're crazy and hang up, or if we don't talk for a few minutes, we get disconnected and can't be contacted again."
"Look, I said it will affect electronic products. The ghost's purpose is to make you lose your mind before starting."
Jiang Jinjiu said as he casually glanced at the time on his phone, which read 2:15 in the morning.
Jiang Jinjiu was shocked. It felt like he had been here for at most two hours. If he checked the time on his phone, they had been here for more than ten hours! I just called the property customer service and it said it was still working hours. Could it be that the flow of time in the Phantom Mansion is different from the time outside?
He suppressed his uneasy thoughts and wanted to wait until Qin Xuan came back.
Suddenly Xu Zhiwen exclaimed in surprise, "She! She! They! Here they come!"
Jiang Jinjiu looked in the direction indicated by his hand, and four figures appeared in the thick fog!
The four people in the mist had graceful figures. Jiang Jinjiu thought four beautiful female ghosts would appear. But when I could see clearly, my appetite was gone.
Their heads were lowered, their hair completely covering their faces, and their upper bodies were bare, revealing bloodless skin covered with black blood vessels, especially their chests, which looked like two spiders each squatting on a black web.
Their lower bodies were wearing light blue sarongs that reached the knees, which could be torn into strips. Every time they took a step, their legs covered with black veins would be exposed.
Jiang Jinjiu exclaimed in his heart, "Movies are all lies!"
How dare they stay outside the door and carry Ma Chao to the second floor together.
Qin Xuan and Li Er, who were exploring, heard a noise on the stairs and knew they were coming up, so they turned around to greet them.
Jiang Jinjiu explained the situation to her, and Qinxuan sneered and said, "There are a lot of evil spirits. It seems they want to herd us together so that we can all be served together."
"What!?" Jiang Jinjiu said in shock, "You said we fell into a trap?"
"What are you afraid of? It's not that you are unprepared. It's better this way, otherwise it will be difficult to find them if they hide them separately. They must be here, look for them quickly."
Qinxuan took out two flashlights and handed them to Jiang Jinjiu and Xu Zhiwen.
Jiang Jinjiu asked, "Don't you need it?"
"Just bring two of them. You two can look for them together. I'll cover you from behind."
Jiang Jinjiu said to himself, "I'll cover you from behind. This word sounds a bit familiar. You should say it to people who are cannon fodder."
Looking at Qin Xuan's big watery eyes, thinking that she wouldn't be so sinister, he stepped into the bathroom.
As the flashlight swayed casually, I noticed that the beam of light scanned a figure, probably in the middle of the left side.
Jiang Jinjiu quickly asked Xu Zhiwen to shine a flashlight together, and everyone was shocked by what they saw.
Liu Meilan, a girl with glasses, and Wang Xiaomin, a girl with short hair, sat naked on a small bench with dull expressions and no reaction to the dazzling light. They both held a piece of red cloth in their hands and kept rubbing their bodies. What's scary is that their skin is all bruised, their cheeks, necks, chests, stomachs, and thighs are all scarlet red, and their skin is ragged and oozing blood. But they kept rubbing, as if they couldn't feel the pain!
Qin Xuan scratched his neck unconsciously, "I'm afraid these two unlucky children will leave a psychological shadow."
Jiang Jinjiu asked, "What happened to them?"
"Lost my soul."
"Are they the two shadows over there?" Li Er said, pointing to the ninth faucet on the right.
Jiang Jinjiu turned around and saw that there was nothing there.
Qin Xuan asked, "Second Master, are they also wiping themselves?"
Li Er said, "Look at the statue."
Qin Xuan lowered his head and began to think deeply. Xu Zhiwen behind him wondered, "What else are you thinking about? Take them and leave quickly."
Jiang Jinjiu scolded, "Shut up! Your sister is thinking about something, which means it's serious. What are you kidding about?"
Xu Zhiwen retreated reluctantly.
Qin Xuan said, "Yes, it's difficult to handle. If we summon their souls back now, not to mention the pain all over their bodies, the wounds all over their bodies will scare them into psychosis. If we really take people out like that, they will be exhausted." Very exciting. And... I think this is a trap."
"Afraid of a ball." Li Er stood forward and said, "No matter how fierce a few girls are, I'll have a go."
"Wait a minute." Qin Xuan thought for a while and said, "It's okay for the second master to go. You may not trigger the trap if you go."
Jiang Jinjiu interrupted and asked, "Why won't Master trigger the trap when he goes there?"
"Stupid Jiuzhai, the trap here is for living people, tell me why."
Jiang Jinjiu smiled awkwardly, and Qin Xuan continued, "Second Master took the red rope and tied their feet with a live buckle. I put their souls into Second Master's bottle and let them return to their souls when it was safe to go out. They are like fools now. They can be dragged away, which is very convenient. But the only problem now is how many souls they have lost."
Li Er asked, "How can we know?"
"It's best to have the birth date and horoscope."
Xu Zhiwen said, "I know."
Everyone looked at him, and Qin Xuan asked, "How did you know?"
Xu Zhiwen said proudly, "They are all my girlfriends."
Jiang Jinjiu and Qin Xuan gasped, and Li Er called out, "What a good boy."
Normally Qin Xuan would know the gossip about these four people, but now he has no time, so he only asked them to write their horoscopes on the talisman paper. Then she tied the tail of the brush with a red rope, spun the brush in a circle and shot towards Liu Meilan. As soon as the tip of the brush touched her body, Qinxuan raised her hand to shake the rope, and the brush suddenly moved upwards, stained with a lot of blood. Then it drew a beautiful arc in the air and flew back to Qin Xuan's hands.
Li Er praised, "Girl, you've done a great job!"
Qin Xuan smiled beautifully, changed a pen and used the same technique to get Wang Xiaomin's blood. Then he dotted three drop-shaped dots with blood on the top of the horoscope, folded them into a triangle, and asked Xu Zhiwen to raise his hands flat, one on each hand, and draw a charm on his palms and arms.
"Stay still, don't move, whisper their names softly and don't stop."
Xu Zhiwen nodded nervously and whispered their names.
Qin Xuan took out the Phoenix Dance Red Flame Fan and gently tapped the back of his hand. His palm suddenly turned red, and it seemed like a wave of heat was rising. The triangular talisman actually flew up and rotated above the palm of his hand!
The two triangular talismans spun around a few times and suddenly aimed at Liu Meilan and Wang Xiaomin. The triangular talisman trembled for three seconds and suddenly turned, aiming its second corner at the soul's position. After another three seconds, the third corner was aimed at them. After another three seconds, the second corner was pointed at the soul's position, and after another three seconds, the first corner was pointed at them... This went back and forth five times. Xu Zhiwen's palm returned to normal, and the triangle talisman fell to the ground.
Qinxuan burned the talisman with a lighter, and Jiang Jinjiu asked, "What's going on now?"
"Fortunately, the souls are here, so it's easy to handle."
"What do you think?"
"I haven't understood this yet. These three horns correspond to three souls. Two horns refer to people and one refers to souls. You understand."
Everyone suddenly realized.
