Chapter 963: Channeling
The man's story came to an end with the death of the psychic. Everyone did not waste any more time and said goodbye.
It's still early, so everyone is going to find a restaurant to fill their stomachs. Bai Xiaojie still has some money left, which should be enough.
But after walking around a lot, I couldn't find a single restaurant that was open.
"What's going on?" The fat man looked around and complained, "Don't people in this town come out to eat?"
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng turned to look at him, then stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder, comforting him: "Don't think blindly. Maybe everyone in the town doesn't need to eat. Are you right?"
< br>After Fatty realized what he was doing, he felt bad. His eyes blinked nervously, looking at everyone on the road as if they were ghosts.
The people who searched for the restaurant to no avail had to return to the manor. But as soon as they entered the door, they smelled the aroma of food. Everyone followed the aroma to the restaurant in confusion. There were portions of food neatly placed on the dining table. food.
There are 7 copies in total, obviously not counting Jiang Zhao’s.
The food is attractive in color and steaming hot, making it feel like it was prepared just a few minutes ago.
The group of people walked around but couldn't find anyone. Finally they came to the kitchen and saw the dust covering the kitchen utensils, and felt a strange feeling in their hearts.
“Don’t look at me, I don’t know who the food is or how it is made.” As soon as the fat man opened his mouth, Jiang Cheng interrupted him in advance. He licked his lips and looked a little innocent. , "That's not what I want to ask. You misunderstood me. What I want to ask is... can these foods be eaten?"
"You... you still want to eat these things?" Bai Xiaojie was shocked.
But this time Miao Qing and Liu Hui did not stand on her side. Miao Qing looked at the food, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, "What if I don't eat? Do I have to starve to death in this world?" He said They were resisting in their hearts, but one thing was already obvious. Apart from these, they could not find other food outside the manor.
It doesn’t matter if you are hungry for a few meals, but when you are so hungry that you are exhausted, your teammates will kill you without any hesitation.
"Eat." Jiang Cheng found a seat and sat down.
Having said that, everyone did not eat directly this time. Instead, they used forks to spread the food to see if there were any surprises underneath. Fortunately, the inside of the plate was very clean this time.
While eating, everyone analyzed the clues they found. The supernatural events that occurred in this manor should be related to witches. Judging from the way Mu Wanming and Jiang Zhao died, it seemed like the work of witches.
"There are also those crows that are following us." Liu Hui put down her fork and suddenly lowered her voice, "I looked back just now. Those crows followed us to the gate of the manor, and they didn't dare to approach here."
Jiang Cheng swallowed the food in his mouth and said slowly: "The families of the missing people said that finding the bodies would free their souls, and they also said that the bodies were all in the same room, in this manor. ”
"Yeah, it sounds strange." Huai Yi frowned slightly and continued: "You have all seen the missing persons notice posted outside. There are so many people missing. There is no way to hide such a number of corpses in the room. Don’t live there.”
“It seems that the room where the corpse is hidden has something to say.” Miao Qing added.
Because there are currently few clues and they are very fragmented, everyone discussed and discussed, but did not come up with a clear result. At this time, the fat man said "huh?" and he stared at the already half-empty room. Plate, the expression is a little strange.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Cheng asked immediately.
"You..." The fat man hesitated for a moment. His expression was strange, more like seeing something incomprehensible than fear, "Do you also have such a pattern on your plate?" The fat man tilted the plate to show everyone.
There is an inconspicuous pattern on the bottom of the plate.
"It seems... it's the dial of a clock." Huaiyi looked at the plate and said hesitantly.
Next, everyone checked their plates one after another. What made Jiang Cheng's frown slowly relax was that the fat man was not the only one with patterns on his plate.
Everyone of them had it on their plate, but the fat man ate it quickly, so he found it first.
“What does this mean?” Ouyang Huanbin was a little panicked.
The clock pattern is very special, not as unusual as it is unusual, but weird, because there are only scales on it, but no hands. There are no hour and minute hands, and the entire dial is bare.
After clearing the plates, everyone discovered something strange. There was a twisted arrow drawn on the edge of the dial, pointing clockwise.
After everyone discussed it, there was no result, so the matter was put aside for the time being.
After something like this happened, no one was in the mood to continue eating.
Then everyone walked around the building to get familiar with the environment.
Arriving on the second floor, Miao Qing suggested that everyone go to Mu Wanming's room to see if there were any missing clues. After all, she was the first person to be killed by a ghost, and more importantly, someone saw this room outside. There was a figure standing inside.
This may be a hint.
After opening the door and entering the room, everything in the house was as before.
Surprisingly, Mu Wanming's wrapped head was still quietly placed on the ground and did not disappear.
Perhaps out of his feelings for his junior sister, Ouyang Huanbin planned to change the position of his head and just throw it on the ground. It was really miserable, but when he walked over, his eyes suddenly stopped, and then A chill filled my heart, "Her head... her head has been moved!"
Hearing this, everyone gathered together. Jiang Cheng looked at the trembling Ouyang Huanbin and then at his head on the ground, "Don't be nervous and tell me slowly what's going on."
"We...we left. Before, her head was facing the wall, but now you see, she is facing this side." He seemed to be worried that everyone wouldn't believe it, but he was extremely worried. Quickly explained: "Please believe me, I must have remembered correctly. I paid special attention when the master lowered his head. After all, we are also..."
Jiang Cheng couldn't listen to the rest of the words, because he Looking in the direction my head was facing, I found a wall clock next to the wardrobe. The wall clock was simple in style and had a sense of age.
But the most important thing is that they have never seen it before.
“This clock is extra!” Ouyang Huanbin seemed to have discovered a new world, pointing at the clock with his finger, which annoyed the noisy people.
The appearance of an extra wall clock out of thin air naturally led everyone to associate it with the clock mark on the plate, and there must be a connection between the two.
"Mr. Wang!" Liu Hui's voice sounded from the other direction. Liu Hui stood in front of the window with an indescribable expression on her face. "You said you saw someone standing behind the window before?" She stared at the fat man's face.
"Yes." The fat man replied.
Liu Hui got out of the way, and everyone couldn't help but gasp when they came closer. A pair of black footprints suddenly appeared on the originally clean table behind the window. They were barefoot and only had the soles of their feet.
“The ghost that Mu Wanming saw was walking on tiptoes.” Jiang Cheng said, staring at the footprints. (End of chapter)
