The atmosphere in Ye Mansion was not very harmonious and gloomy, and the sound of heavy rain could not cover up the bursts of creaking bones.
Standing in the courtyard, Ye Feifan clearly felt that things were beyond his expectations.
There are small rocks (rockery) all around the courtyard, except for a few weeds and no larger plants or shrubs. Between the small stone mountains and small stone mountains is a thick spider web with many water droplets hanging on the web. It can be seen that no one has lived in the courtyard for a long time.
Through the spider web, Ye Feifan saw the gray spiders hiding in the potholes on Xiaoshishan. They were only about the size of a soybean, but they gave people a weird feeling, as if they were intelligent.
"It's not poisonous spiders... They can live here for so long, maybe they have some special skills, otherwise those unknown people would not be alive." Ye Feifan murmured to himself, realizing that there was something abnormal about the existence of spiders, and he knew it No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still flesh. Those who are not sure will understand this truth.
Spiders might be useful to them, could they identify intruders through their webs?
Since coming over from Blue Star, Ye Feifan naturally remembered a lot of things from Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio. He thought that the little spider might be their spy, so he had better not alert the enemy.
The introduction to the side mission suggested that there would be the sound of bones, and with the sound that kept echoing in his ears, Ye Feifan speculated that some creature was chewing bones, or grinding its teeth with bones.
The mission prompts that the greatest danger is underground. Ye Mansion is just a confusing smoke bomb on the surface. You need to find the entrance to the secret passage.
"There might be a group of imprisoned people underground." Thinking of the "Do you believe some people are still alive" in the mission, Ye Feifan made a bold hypothesis.
Those who violated taboos were suppressed underground and then lied to the outside world about missing...
Drenched in the rain, Ye Feifan still made no sound when he walked. The effect of his silent boots was incredible. In addition, he later used the fusion tickets he got from the lottery to fuse some special props... Even if he walked in the room soaked, he would not make any sound. There will be any noise.
After wandering around Xiaoshishan for a while, Ye Feifan found that his left foot fell into a pothole.
Lifting his feet, Ye Feifan squatted on the ground to check. The pothole was actually a deep mark. The mark was recessed and filled with water. It would not be visible unless you paid special attention.
"It's footprints!"
The outline of the mark was large, as if it were left by the sole of some kind of shoe. It was a little larger than the sole of his own shoe. The depth of the footprint was also five centimeters. The other party's body was very heavy.
Fat man? Or a muscular man?
Following the direction of the shoe prints, Ye Feifan saw another footprint that was not too wide.
Gradually following the direction of the footprints, Ye Feifan came to a pond of one or two acres, and the shoe prints disappeared by the pond.
diving?
The pond was green and the bottom could not be seen. Ye Feifan had no intention of going down. Most ponds were not safe during thunderstorms. This matter could only be explored during the day.
Thunderstorm nights in Tianzicheng were unusually frequent. Ye Feifan hesitated and put his hand into the shoe prints on the ground. The bottom mud was not very soft...the shoe prints were left recently, and there was a kind of friction between the fingers and the bottom. A sandy, rough feel.
Ye Feifan began to feel nervous. He had some bad premonitions in his heart, but the touch of his hand on the bottom of the shoe prints showed that the footprints would not appear for more than half an hour.
It rained at around ten o'clock tonight, and it was already an hour after midnight. The texture of the soil in the courtyard is indeed sand... More than an hour of soaking can already form some silt at the bottom, but there is no trace of water-filled footprints. Silt texture.
Someone sneaked into Ye Mansion before Ye Feifan, and it is very likely that they have been in Ye Mansion all along.
Is there something under the water that attracts him?
Has his whereabouts been revealed?
Coming to Ye Mansion today was an impromptu decision. Even the waiter didn't know about his plan, and other forces wouldn't know about it. The possibility of attracting people here due to his footprints was very low.
That man is still underwater!
Where did he come from?
With curiosity, Ye Feifan gained motivation and silently followed the footsteps back, while squinting at the pond... He always felt that there was a gaze on him, maybe that gaze came from the pond.
The shoe prints began to appear in front of a house. The door lock of the house was broken and covered with patina, but the door was ajar.
Carefully opening the door, Ye Feifan walked in.
There was an altar table and a futon in the room, surrounded by dense spider webs. There were several holes in the roof, and water was dripping from it. The stone tile floors of the room were all wet.
There were no holes on the top of the table, but there were some water stains on the table, and there was even a drop of dried blood on it.
There is a candlestick on each side of the altar table. There is a large lump of solidified candle liquid, which firmly covers the base, but the candle oil around the candle wick is semi-solidified.
I reached out and touched the candle liquid. It was soft and still had a little bit of residual warmth.
What is he doing here? Is it some kind of ritual?
After hesitating for a moment, Ye Feifan touched the drop of dried blood with his hand and brought it to his nose to smell it.
The smell of rust is mixed with the smell of blood. The origin of this drop of blood is very strange.
Seeing that there were no other clues in the house, Ye Feifan thought for a moment and planned to exit slowly, but unexpectedly saw a red corner of the spider web swaying in the wind from the corner of his eye.
what is that?
He walked over and took off the red thing. Judging from the texture, it was a piece of rag. He brought it to his nose and smelled it. Ye Feifan's expression suddenly changed.
Familiar taste!
The taste of blood!
People from the Liu family!
The altar table, heavy footprints, pieces of bloody cloth...connecting the clues together, Ye Feifan suspected that what was enshrined on the altar table was a Buddha statue, and that the scraps of cloth were the blood-stained clothes of heaven wrapped around the Buddha statue.
Ye Feifan had never experienced the weight of Buddha statues before. It was impossible for ordinary people to feel the strenuous weight. In a sense, the deep footprints pressed out on the ground exceeded the weight of three or four Buddha statues... that is to say To achieve that condition, the size and density of the Buddha statue must be very huge. The visitor does not have storage treasures such as space bags, so it is extremely difficult to carry it.
There is no space bag, and it is so difficult to carry a Buddha statue. Ye Feifan is probably doubtful that the visitor has no companion...
An ordinary person!
A cultivator in the First Tribulation Realm can already carry hundreds of kilograms of heavy objects without panting. A Buddha statue does not weigh more than a hundred kilograms. The person who came in must be an ordinary person... He started to walk out of the house after it rained for a while. At that time, the ground was soaked by the rain, and it was easy to leave footprints.
The waiter’s back-up tactics are really hard to guard against!
Ye Feifan felt that he might be able to catch this person and ask a question. There was only one person's footprints. He had no accomplices. If he had, he wouldn't have to carry the Buddha statue so hard.
After making up his mind, Ye Feifan followed the footprints back to the pond and found a place to hide.
It was still very early before dawn, and Ye Feifan was fully capable of catching the other party and interrogating him. Even if he could not complete the side task, the information he got would definitely be worthwhile.
The creaking of bones kept ringing, and the rhythm was different every time. Ye Feifan doubted whether there was a mountain of bones and a vicious dog buried under the Ye Mansion.
Just when Ye Feifan was about to do something, the water surface rippled and a head popped out of the water.
The real owner has appeared!
