Chapter 147 The ghost among the seven!
Looking at the situation outside, Li Sian took a deep breath, feeling neither happy nor sad.
But others were very frustrated and fearful.
They have all seen the horror of the black mist.
For ordinary people, let alone passing through the black mist, even if they are even slightly stained by the black mist, their intestines will be torn apart immediately, and their bones and flesh will turn into pus.
"What to do."
Su Hui also seemed to have lost his backbone, and worriedly asked Li Sian what to do.
Li Sian smiled and reassured everyone:
"It's okay. Although we can't leave the Qin family compound, this also proves that we have found the right place."
"There is no weird situation with no way out. The fact that we are trapped in this place means that we have advanced to the next goal."
"Now we can continue to search the Qin Family Courtyard wholeheartedly."
After everyone heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief and began to search for clues about the Qin Family Courtyard at a faster speed.
After all, no one knows whether the black mist will spread further.
If they procrastinate and wait for the black fog to sweep across the entire Qin family compound, they will die without a burial place.
Li Sian and Su Hui went straight to the core source of the Qin family.
The culprit that caused them to enter a strange situation was the old house of the Qin family.
After just half an hour of searching, the two of them had actually discovered the approximate location of the Qin family's old residence.
It just happened to be attracted by the screams outside.
Before returning to the old house now, Li Sian also carefully tried how to enter the old house.
This old house is extraordinary, and the consequences of entering it again are unpredictable.
So Li Sian thought for a while and chose to transform into a humanoid creature.
Let him carefully open the wooden door of the old house.
Unlike the old house thirty years later, the old house at this time has not declined to its previous appearance.
That's why Li Sian and the two spent a lot of time to confirm that this house was the Qin family's old house thirty years later.
When the imaginary dummy entered the old house, nothing strange happened.
It was clean and tidy inside, and there was nothing weird about it.
After repeatedly confirming that there was no danger, Li Sian was ready to walk into the house.
But this time Li Sian did not ask Su Hui to follow, but told her to wait patiently outside.
Obviously Li Si'an didn't want to make the same mistake again this time, and even Su Hui fell into it with him.
As Li Sian entered the old wooden house, he glanced around and found that there was nothing special.
The entire wooden house was extremely empty, with only a portrait of a Taoist hanging on the wall.
Li Si'an stepped forward to do various studies, even soaking it with water and burning it, but he didn't find anything strange about the portrait itself.
Behind the portrait, Li Sian also knocked on it specially, but found no secret door or mechanism.
After thinking about it, Li Sian could only stare at the portrait in a daze.
Almost half the time for burning incense has passed.
Li Si'an suddenly had an idea and looked at the Taoist priest in the portrait twisting the magic formula.
The fingers seemed to be pointing upwards...
Li Sian jumped up and climbed onto the roof beam with both arms to look carefully.
Sure enough, I found that there was an obvious groove in the beam above the portrait, where a refined wooden box was placed.
Reaching out to take off the wooden box, Li Sian immediately turned over and jumped back to the ground.
Su Hui outside saw that Li Sian had found important clues, and walked into the room to analyze with Li Sian.
Li Sian carefully opened the wooden box and found a letter and an official seal inside.
Engraved on the official seal are the five characters of Huangning County Zhengtang.
This object is the official seal of Huangning County that Li Sian has been looking for for a long time. It can mobilize all the formation mechanisms in Huangning County.
This object even represents the county magistrate’s official luck and the protection of the country’s luck.
Owning this thing is equivalent to possessing most of the power of a county magistrate.
Li Sian then opened the letter and took a look. It was densely filled with a piece of letter paper written in extremely delicate and delicate small regular script.
It probably means that there are actually two things in this box.
Besides the official seal, another thing has been discovered by her first.
This thing is of no use to others. Even if Li Sian takes it back, it will only add to the trouble.
But in order to compensate, she informed Li Sian of the important clues she had searched in this strange territory.
The only way to leave this strange situation is to find the disguised ghost among the seven.
And she also stated a rule in this strange situation in the letter.
That’s what ‘thousands of people have pointed out, and it will end without a cure’.
As long as the majority of people accuse a minority of people of being ghosts, that person will immediately be killed by the rules of this strange realm.
They can use this rule to easily eliminate the ghost by collectively identifying the ghost after discovering it.
The disguised ghost has the protection of rules, and even Li Sian is no match for it in a single fight.
Once it kills the last person, both sides have a quota to testify, and no one can use the rules to eliminate the other, and will only be killed directly by this ghost.
And this ghost needs a period of time between each killing, so don't worry about it suddenly going on a killing spree.
Seeing this, the content of the letter has been finished.
Li Si'an couldn't help but hesitate. Who is the person who wrote this letter? Why did he so kindly leave a letter to remind him after taking what he wanted?
Should I believe the content of her letter?
What if the other party is deceiving you and using a false letter to lure you into a dead end?
Or he deliberately modified or concealed some key content, causing Li Sian to stumble at a critical moment...
After thinking about it, Li Si'an kept the letter for the time being and didn't believe it.
Let’s see how things develop later.
At this moment, Sun Cuier's scream came again from outside.
“It can’t be such a coincidence.”
Li Si’an felt a thump in his heart and quickly left the old house with Su Hui.
He rushed to the corner of an alley where the scream came from.
I saw four people surrounding a headless corpse, terrified.
As soon as she saw Li Sian coming, Sun Cui'er seemed to have found a backbone and cried:
"It's dead! The elder sister who came with us is dead!"
Li Si'an hurriedly stepped forward to take a look and found that although the man had no head, his figure and clothing were indeed the same as that of the companion who came in with them.
Li Sian clearly remembered that she was a woman in her early thirties, with no sense of existence.
He was one of the first four people to explore with Su Hui.
She was silent throughout the whole process and looked like an honest and dedicated woman.
At this time, the wall at the corner was covered with bloodstains, as if the woman's head had been directly removed, and the blood spurted out directly from the chest.
This shows how cruel and cruel the murderer's methods are, and how terrifying it is.
"Is it true that there is a ghost hidden among the seven people and they have started killing people one by one?"
Li Si'an glanced at everyone present, and then asked:
"Isn't it true that at least two of them are together?" Who was in a group with her just now?"
"I...it's me."
The person who spoke was a fat man with a big head and big ears, and he looked very strong. , early twenties.
Li Sian had the impression that he seemed to say that his name was Wang Zhi and he was a chef in a restaurant.
"How did she die?"
Li Sian asked Wang Zhi.
Wang Zhi also said with obvious shock:
“I don’t know, we were walking in tandem just now.”
"As soon as she passed the corner, I heard a thud, as if something fell to the ground."
"When I rushed over to see, she was already dead here."< br>
"It was a short time before and after, but I didn't see any sign of anyone..."
I was frightened for a moment, and I stayed there without daring to say anything.
It wasn’t until a short while later that he dared to call out for everyone to come over.
Li Si'an was thoughtful after listening.
Then he began to ask the other three what they were doing at that time.
Sun Cuier and Hu Bin said that they were searching for clues in the house at that time. Although their backs were facing each other, they were never out of sight for more than half a stick of incense.
The last middle-aged man wearing a felt hat explained:
“I was searching that house like the two of them at that time.”
"It's just that the two of them were searching inside, and I was searching at the door."
"But when the two of them occasionally passed by the door, we both saw each other."
Li Sian After thinking about it for a while, the ghost might have some way to move quickly or kill people from a distance.
Otherwise, except for Wang Zhi, the others would be at least half a stick of incense away from the crime scene.
It takes at least one stick of incense to come and go.
According to the foot power of ordinary people, it is impossible to rush to the scene so quickly to kill, and then rush back to others to create an alibi.
At present, Wang Zhi is indeed the most suspect.
If he was disguised as a ghost and shouted to catch the thief after killing the woman, he could indeed hide the truth and make everyone no longer doubt him.
The man in the felt hat is equally suspicious, even though he has proof from the other two.
But after all, they are inside and outside the door. What if he takes advantage of this moment to kill people quickly, and then rushes back again...
As for the remaining Sun Cuier and Hu Bin, they are not yet included in Li Sian's suspicion list.
When Li Si'an first met the two of them, their features really didn't look like ghosts in disguise.
Whether it was Sun Cuier who was trembling with fear, or Hu Bin, the coachman who was very greedy for money.
If the disguised ghost started acting from that moment on, Li Si'an could only praise his acting skills as indeed extraordinary and his thoughtfulness.
Finally, there are two people, Li Sian and Su Hui.
Based on the relationship between the two of them as uncle and sister-in-law, Li Sian would not think that Su Hui would be the ghost in disguise.
"If it is a demon that kills someone, it may be that my sister-in-law is a snake who is hard to change and wants to eat meat..."
Immediately, Li Si'an took out the envelope from his arms and gave it to everyone Watch.
Among the other four, only Sun Cuier was literate, and she read out the content written on the envelope to everyone.
After hearing the contents of the letter, everyone turned their suspicious eyes on Wang Zhi, who was with the dead woman.
Otherwise, it's really because Wang Zhi is too suspicious.
