Chapter 1446 Basket
3 meters.
2 meters.
1 meter...
As the distance got closer, Zhu Jie could even see clearly the patterns on the late wife’s hijab. However, something changed later. Zhu Jie no longer hesitated and quickly walked around the late wife. Madam, come to the other party's side, and then stretch out your hand towards the basket behind the first madam.
At this moment, everyone held their breath, but Zhu Jie lived up to expectations and actually opened the lid of the basket.
“It’s done!”
Tang Qisheng, who was worried about Zhu Jie, bit his lip excitedly.
As Zhu Jie lowered her head and looked into the basket, her body suddenly paused. Fatty Jiangcheng, who was watching from a distance, felt a thump in his heart. The scene in front of him seemed familiar.
Sure enough, misfortune struck again. Zhu Jie seemed to have pressed the pause button, standing stiffly on the spot, while the first lady walked away as if nothing had happened, without leaving her feet off the ground.
From beginning to end, the late Madam did not react to Zhu Jie's behavior.
"Quickly retreat."
Seeing the Madam slowly coming towards him, Jiang Cheng picked up the fat man and quickly evacuated while keeping his body low in the night.
To be precise, their hiding place was not on the trajectory of the late lady’s movements, but Zhu Jie’s experience sounded the alarm for them. There was something very wrong with the late lady not far away, even if she was only approached. There may be catastrophe.
Moreover, Jiang Cheng suspected that once those who were not summoned were attacked, they would face completely different consequences from Li Bai and Zhu Jie before. They were pretending to die, but when it was their turn, they would probably die for real.
Everyone watched the late madam squirm out of sight and disappear completely before they dared to emerge from their hiding places. Tang Qisheng was the first to rush to Zhu Jie's side, his eyes turning red.
“Don’t touch her yet.”
Yao, Shun, Yu and Zhang Qizheng were relatively close and rushed over faster. The two of them persuaded Tang Qisheng, who was almost desperate.
After Jiang Cheng arrived, Zhu Jie still maintained the posture of lifting the lid, but she went further than Li Bai and at least lifted the lid. The lid was even still in her hand at this moment.
Jiang Cheng didn't dare to touch it. He just squatted down and looked at the cover, and found that it was made of bamboo strips and covered with a layer of gray-brown stains.
"What's going on? She...she is the first lady who approached from the front!"
The seemingly steady Tang Qisheng was already a little hysterical.
When he touched Zhu Jie's body lightly, the next second his body suddenly lost support and fell to the ground.
Tang Qisheng tremblingly opened Zhu Jie's lapel, only to see that the red rope around his neck was torn off, and the copper coin disappeared.
It wasn't until he found out that Zhu Jie still had a pulse that the pale Tang Qisheng regained his senses, "Zhu Jie was attacked only after opening the lid, so touching the basket is not taboo. Also, approach from the front first." Madam is not in danger either.”
"We have all seen that Madam Xian did not take action, so could the danger have nothing to do with Madam Xian but the backpack behind her?" Lu Qin gave her own opinion.
The fat man swallowed and looked at Zhu Jie on the ground, "Is there something wrong with the basket? But there are hydrangeas in the basket, how could it be..."
"Who said there must be something inside the basket? Is it a hydrangea?" Jiang Cheng asked.
As soon as these words came out, everyone except Fatty was thoughtful. Shao Tong even squatted beside Zhu Jie’s “corpse” and grabbed the lid on the ground. The brown stain on the lid was very... Obviously, he stretched out his fingers to pick at it, then brought it to his nose and sniffed it fiercely.
“It’s blood.” Shao Tong raised his head and said with certainty.
Hearing this, the fat man slowly opened his eyes. He didn't think about it at all, but when he saw the brown stain that almost covered the entire lid, he could imagine that the entire basket must have been bloody a long time ago.
Bloody...what was inside it?
Everyone has seen that basket. It is impossible to hold a whole corpse, but it is perfectly fine to only hold a part, such as a head.
A head... Jiang Cheng has already made a guess in his mind. Maybe the basket contains the first lady's head. After all, no one promised them that the first lady's head will be placed in the basket!
As a clue, the disaster girl didn’t even mention the basket. Now that I think about it carefully, this is particularly abnormal.
The disaster girl seemed to be hiding something.
And if the head of the late lady is in the basket behind her back, then it is not difficult to guess what is pieced together around the neck of the dead body of the late lady. It is tonight's clue - the hydrangea!
Everyone present is not stupid. Jiang Cheng just made a start, and everyone has already thought of the rest of the guesses. Although they have experienced hundreds of battles, when they think of the terrifying scene of the late Madam at this time, everyone can't help but think of it. There was a chill at my feet.
With a broken body holding a hydrangea on its head, no one dared to think about what happened to the late Madam before she died.
For the time being, these are just speculations, but it is very simple to confirm, as long as someone lifts the first lady's hijab.
Suddenly, for a moment, the fat man desperately hoped that the next person would not have his turn, nor would it be the turn of the doctor and Yao, Shun, and Yu to lift the ghost's head. Among the people he knew, only the doctor was lucky enough to survive such an irritating experience. Therefore, she was followed by the ghost bride Wu Yingying.
"Lifting the Madam's hijab is too..." Zhang Qizheng is a cautious person. Just thinking about it will tell you that this kind of thing is unreliable.
“Why lift the hijab?” Jiang Cheng turned his head and looked at Zhang Qizheng with a puzzled expression, “We only need to determine whether it is a human head or a hydrangea under the hijab. I think the feel of these two things should be completely different. , we can touch it through the hijab.”
Although touching the ghost’s head sounds very unreliable, compared with lifting the ghost’s hijab, the former is still barely acceptable.
"What Brother Jiang said is only one of the ways. If you think this is too dangerous, there is a second way." Yao, Shunyu, and Shunyu had already smoothed their thoughts. He looked at Zhu Jie, who was motionless on the ground, " Everyone has seen it, the baskets The lid has been removed and it is here now, so if you have the chance, you can choose to get closer to the basket and take a look, but I personally do not recommend this. After all, both Li Bai and Zhu Jie were infected when they came into contact with the basket. ”
It is not difficult to understand Yao Shunyu's words. If you get closer and meet the line of sight of the first lady's head, you can imagine the consequences.
Like Li Bai before, Zhu Jie, who was lying on the ground, also closed his eyes tightly, the pupils under his eyelids kept trembling, as if he had fallen into a dream from which he could not wake up.
Jiang Cheng's heart suddenly twitched, and he subconsciously took out his mobile phone. On the screen of the mobile phone was a surveillance video. Li Bai, who was the first to be attacked in the video, was lying quietly on the ground.
Although there was nothing unusual at first glance, out of caution, Jiang Cheng decided to go to Li Bai's place to have a look. (End of this chapter)
