Chapter 98: This scene was done with care
In the middle of the night, dark clouds cover the moon!
In the eerie rich manor house, the scholar carrying a parcel and holding a candle was walking quickly in front.
Going through the corridor and hall, walking in a hurry.
What is strange is that there is not a single living person in such a large house.
Except for the slight sound of footsteps, the surroundings were quiet.
Not far behind the scholar, Luo Xi and the four of them followed cautiously.
Some people have feelings.
"Thanks for following this scholar, otherwise, it would not be easy to find the route in such a big house."
"Maybe this is a way to clear the customs. It’s also the key. As long as you follow the scholar, you should be able to escape. How wonderful!”
"This level scene is just like a real old mansion of a rich family. Every plant, every tree, every room is very exquisite, and it looks fake. No, this is simply real. The layout of this scene is really thoughtful. ! ”
Whether it is Wu Rui, Mao Ge or Guo Zening, they are all in a good mood at this time. This scholar wants to escape from the ancient house, so he can escape as long as he follows him.
Only Luo Xi looked solemn.
He felt that things were not that simple.
The scholar said before when he was packing his things, ‘I have tried to persuade her a long time ago, but she didn’t listen’.
Who does this ‘she’ refer to?
Currently, it seems to be his aunt, the lady who lost her head in the mourning hall.
But, what did he advise and why?
It seems to be related to the female ghost, otherwise I would not have said these words after the incident in the mourning hall.
In short, there are too many things to explore in this level scene, and Luo Xi is very curious.
And if the character is put into the perspective of a 'level designer', then any curious thing in the scene must have a deeper meaning.
With a thought in his mind, he immediately quickened his pace and moved toward the scholar in front of him. When the other person heard the noise and was about to turn around, he grabbed the other person's neck and dragged him aside. .
"What are you doing?" Before the scholar could finish speaking, Luo Xi covered his mouth. At this time, Wu Rui and Mao Ge also ran over.
Although they didn’t know what Luo Xi was going to do, it didn’t stop them from helping.
Pressing on hands, pressing on legs, it is not easy for four people to restrain one person.
What's more, the scholar is useless and has no strength to tie a chicken. However, the one in front of me is not a strong one. There is fear in his eyes now, and he probably thinks he has met a bad person.
“Knife!”
Luo Xi said.
Next to her, Wu Rui immediately handed over her own dagger.
Luo Xi put the dagger against the scholar's neck. The cold touch made the other person even more frightened.
"Sir, I have a few questions for you to answer. If you don't agree, I'll cut off my ears first. If I don't agree, I'll gouge out my eyes."
The scholar was already frightened and nodded repeatedly.
Luo Xi let go of the other person's mouth.
“Are you Madam’s nephew?”
“Yes, yes”
"What did you persuade her before?" Luo Xi went straight to the point.
The scholar looked hesitant, but under the threat, he still said: "Actually, she is a cousin who had an affair with someone and became pregnant with an evil child. My aunt thinks that she has ruined the family tradition, and she also thinks that she is pregnant out of wedlock. If you are pregnant, you will definitely get pregnant in the future. People rolled their eyes, and she couldn't even raise her head in front of others. In anger, she scolded her cousin. The two had an argument at a secluded place in Longlong Temple. Unexpectedly, during the verbal argument, her cousin lost her footing and fell from the high platform. , but just fell On the edge of a rock below, the result was that the body and head were separated after falling, so that two people were killed. My aunt was so frightened that the abbot of Longlong Temple also felt that a human life had occurred in this Buddhist place, which would damage its reputation, so"
"So, you said it was an accidental fall into the well, and then collected the body, prepared the mourning hall, and buried it hastily, and then no one knew about it?"
"Yes, yes!" The scholar was surprised that the other party actually Can guess the truth.
“Then what did you advise?”
"I know that if a person dies in vain, he will be filled with resentment, especially if he is a woman who is pregnant with a child, so I advised my aunt to keep everything simple and not to bury her. It is best to burn it. The ashes will fly away, and it will be difficult to turn into a ghost. But my aunt, she It’s still a woman’s kindness.”
“That’s not right!” Luo Xi shook his head: “Since this is a family scandal, how did you know about it?”< br>
“That day, I also went to the temple with my aunt and others to offer incense, and I just happened to see it!”
“Oh, my beloved daughter died, but she could still be cold and deceived, your aunt’s heart "Very cruel?"
"My cousin is not a legitimate child, but is born from a younger mother. She is not actually close to my aunt!"
Looking at the scholar's frightened look, Luo Xi knew that most of what the other party said was probably true.
In this way, things become much clearer. "Then the monk who came to perform the ritual this time is the abbot of Longlong Temple?" Luo Xi thought of something at this time and asked.
The scholar shook his head hurriedly: "No, it's the master from the temple invited by my aunt."
"That's right!"
Luo Xi nodded.
Because if it was the presiding officer of Longlong Temple, he was colluding with his wife. It would have been impossible for him to say before, "My daughter threw herself into a well while pregnant with her son. She was so resentful that I couldn't even recite the Purana Sutra." To resolve her grievances'.
“That’s why there are blood stains in the coffin, because the body was separated when he died, so he should have found someone to resew the skin and trim the body. But this female ghost was too resentful, so she went on a killing spree on the night she returned to her soul on the seventh day. Right!”
Luo Xi was thinking quickly at this time.
He glanced at the scholar.
The latter was very frightened, his face was pale, and he looked at Luo Xi anxiously.
“Do you know what happened at the mourning hall?”
“Could it be that my cousin has turned into a ghost?”
“So smart!” Luo Xi A compliment made the scholar even more frightened. He struggled for a while and probably wanted to run away.
Luo Xi said at this time: "Then, if I take you to the mourning hall and hand you over to your cousin, will she be happy?"
"Don't, don't." The fear in the scholar's eyes was already overflowing, and he was begging for mercy again and again.
"You packed your bags in the middle of the night and wanted to run away?" Luo Xi asked again.
The scholar nodded repeatedly.
“Get up and lead the way!” Luo Xi actually had a lot of ideas in his mind, but after thinking about it, he still felt that clearing the level first was the most important thing.
Since the scholar knows how to leave, let him lead the way.
The scholar was overjoyed when he heard this. As long as he could leave now, that would be better than anything else.
However, in order to prevent the other party from playing tricks, Luo Xi asked Mao Ge and Wu Rui to walk in front, while he and Guo Zening were behind, sandwiching the scholar in the middle.
The knife was pressed against his waist.
The ugly words are very clear, if you play tricks, you will be killed!
A few people started to walk forward, and the scholar showed the way.
According to him, you can get to the back door by going around the small courtyard in front, and just go out through the back door.
Halfway through, Luo Xi asked the scholar if there was anything else strange in the house.
"No!" The scholar shook his head.
It doesn’t look like he’s lying.
In this case, what is the resentment that Brother Mao sensed at the garden pavilion before?
No need to ask, the water in this scene is still very deep.
This is also the reason why Luo Xi plans to escape and clear the level first.
No matter what, the key is to clear the level first and get the rewards.
I just walked around the small courtyard at the back and looked at a red leather wall connected to the rock behind. Not to mention there was no door. Even if there was a door, you couldn't get out. There was a rock wall outside.
"How could this happen?" The scholar was shocked, and he showed great horror: "How could there be no way? Ah, I understand, I understand that this is the night of soul rebirth, and resentment is soaring, so the world is reversed and a new life is born. This haunted place is broken and I can’t get out now.”
Next to them, Luo Xi and the others also frowned.
"Trouble!" Brother Mao sighed, Wu Rui said nothing, and when Luo Xi arranged it, Guo Zening also looked frustrated, but he seemed to adjust his mentality quickly: "It's normal, this place is not difficult. Look, if it’s so easy to escape, it can’t be difficult for ten people.”
At this moment, Brother Mao suddenly turned his head and looked aside.
"Is there a figure over there?"
A few people also looked over and found that it was true. It was only because of the moonlight that they could see it.
Brother Mao walked two steps over, looked over, and was stunned.
“Why are you here?”
Today’s third update!
