Chapter 31 031 Funeral Mountain Village (31)
Tang Jingxue's back went numb after what he said. She used her device to scan the entire River Temple. It showed that there were no players or NPCs included - no signs of human life.
She breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Don't be afraid, Xiao Jing, there is no one else besides us?"
But Xu Taijing's answer was beyond her expectation. He stared into her eyes and said, "Not a living person."
"Huh?"
The room was terribly cold and fell into dead silence after she asked the question. She suddenly felt countless pairs of eyes staring at her, and she couldn't help but shudder.
He stood up and walked to the sculpture, turned his back to her and said: "The fork of the sculpture is made of human tibia."
"Huh?"
She came in and picked up the remote control of the air conditioner and turned on the air conditioner. Just now she saw that the temperature above was actually 16 degrees. No wonder it was so cold.
She quickly raised the temperature, rose up from the futon like a catapult, and said: "Then... can you find someone from here?"
"It's possible. And this person is of great significance to Huang You."
Tang Jingxue immediately thought of the immovable futon she was sitting on. In order to verify that her idea was wrong, she went over and moved Xu Taijing's, but it still couldn't be moved.
It was so good that she couldn't even move it, which meant that there were no corpses or anything like that underneath, so she was overthinking it.
The temperature rose a little, and the eyes she imagined disappeared after verification, and she sat on the futon again.
The most taboo thing is to scare yourself. It’s better to be honest and don’t think too much in the future.
He also walked to the futon, bent down and moved the futon, but instead of moving it horizontally or upwards, he rotated it several times.
With a click, the clasped hands of the statue opened, and Tang Jingxue saw something shining in its hands.
How is this mechanism designed? Looks awesome.
She remembered again that triggering mechanisms in the game did not require any logic or science, because it was arranged by the superiors, and they had to move wherever they were connected.
He walked over and took the glowing object out of the sculpture's hand and placed it in her hand.
"Sister, it's a key."
His cold fingertips left her at the touch, leaving only the colder key in her palm.
Her hand holding the key was shaking a little, and she said: "The key is good, the key, the key can open the lock. Is there something under the mat?"
Xu Taijing lifted the unscrewed futon before she could move it, and a big rusty lock suddenly appeared.
……
What should she say? She couldn't say anything.
Tang Jingxue opened the lock with the key expressionlessly, trying to keep herself steady and look very normal. She had scanned it just now, and there was no one else alive here.
As long as she doesn't fumble around, she won't touch any mess.
She smoothly turned on the flashlight of her mobile phone and symbolically looked inside, saying, "Xiao Jing, is this a cellar? I'll go down and have a look first."
"Sister, it's me..."
Xu Taijing wanted to stop her, but she moved too fast. She turned over very gracefully, and her skirt drew a beautiful arc in the air.
The cellar was so cramped that it could only accommodate one person standing upright, and it was surrounded by iron frames.
To her surprise, it was very clean. There was no dust on the shelves, and she didn't get choked by dust as she had imagined.
When she came down, the shelf facing her was filled with scented candles. There were about three hundred of them, divided into several categories, with different labels on the outer plastic wrappers.
She took one off and put it under her nose and smelled it. The faint scent of sandalwood was refreshing.
The name of this candle is "Morning".
The candle on the middle shelf is a strongly scented candle and its name is "Noon". The top one was the smell of rotting flesh she smelled at first, called "Late Night."
There were also sorted candles on the shelf next to her. She thought she took one of each of the three flavors and put it in her pocket, planning to go out and show it to Xu Jingjing.
When Tang Jingxue took "Midnight", she had to stand on tiptoes because the candle was placed too high, but after taking it down, she leaned back because her center of gravity was unstable.
The shelf at the back began to shake violently after being touched by her, and the items on it fell to the ground with a crash. Her back was hit violently by unknown objects several times.
Because there was such a small area, all the things that fell were spread around her feet, and the heavy objects that attacked her also rolled here and hit her legs.
She tilted her head slightly and met the skeleton's empty eye sockets.
"I'm sorry that I didn't intend to disturb the company. Please don't come to me tonight..."
Xu Taijing felt anxious when he heard the huge noise in the cellar, and shouted down: "Sister! Are you okay? Come up quickly!"
Tang Jingxue didn't want to stop any longer. She pulled her legs out of the pile of paper and ran back to the ground as if running for her life.
She forced a smile and said: "It turns out there are two instead of one, which is different from what I imagined. Xiaojing, can you fish out those two skulls? If not, we won't fish them out."
She said at that time that she could not find a person from here, but there were two skulls underneath! Visual inspection is really not a model.
The Heshen Temple was built by Huang You, the candles also belonged to Huang You, and the two heads in the cellar were also related to Huang You.
One thing she has been ignoring these days is that after she and he tied up the dwarf and the wedding woman, Dan Xiangtang rescued the two of them, and then changed "late night" to "early morning".
Could that person be Huang You?
She didn't think so. Huang You was obviously unaware of this matter. Besides, even if she knew and rescued the person, there was no reason for the festival to continue.
It wouldn't be Chen Ding. If Huang You's people fell into his hands, it would be too late to kill him, so he wouldn't save them at all.
Huang Jingyi.
Huang Jingyi was indeed not dead, and now she had a direction for her investigation.
Xu Daijing quickly brought up the two skulls. He was afraid that Tang Jingxue would be afraid, so he found two books and roughly covered them.
She wasn't afraid of skulls, she was just afraid that skulls would touch her skin. She didn't know why she felt resentful about this.
"I'm sorry, Xiao Jing, I bumped into the shelf at the back when I was taking the candle, otherwise these books wouldn't be messed up."
Huang You will sort the notebook into categories, but when she bumps into it like this, everything is completely messed up, making it difficult to find clues.
Xu Taijing shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter, the number is not very large, just sort it out. These two people should be very important to Huang You, otherwise she would not put them here alone. She usually sells ordinary brides Out.”
The skulls were treated very well. Huang You even soaked them in perfume, and you could smell the strong fragrance of roses from a distance. (End of chapter)
