Without any external forces, the originally closed door to the mansion had opened by itself. Cheng Zhi Chu and the others felt their hairs stand up in terror and they all subconsciously took half a step back. Only Bai Yi stepped forward and turned on the flashlight to illuminate the gap between the door. After looking in for a few seconds, he reached out and pushed the door in.
CreaaakkClack
Along with the sound of rusty hinges, dust fell from above as the door slowly opened. From inside the building, a musty scent rushed out. Under the dim light coming from the flashlight, the inside of the mansion appeared to be even more spooky.
When Bai Yi pushed the door open, the others all had very nervous expressions. When they saw that nothing strange happened after the door opened, they were able to let out a sigh of relief.
Because of his girlfriend Ren Xue, Wang Jianming wasnt very happy with Bai Yi. At this mont, he was even more dissatisfied. With a quiet voice he complained: You should tell us in advance if youre going to open the door. What are you going to do if sothing goes wrong?
Bai Yi smiled and said: They said that the ga would only start after we enter the mansion. Its just opening a door, nothing will happen.
Hearing him say that, Wang Jianming opened and closed his mouth. For a mont he couldnt think of anything to say back. Ren Xue tugged at his shirt and whispered accusingly to him: Dont make a big fuss out of nothing..
Wang Jianming shut his mouth and his face flushed slightly red. Although he listened to Ren Xues words and didnt push things any further, the look that he gave Bai Yi was filled will resentnt. He brushed his shoulder against Bai Yi and took the first step into the mansion. At the sa ti, he muttered in a low voice, Show off.
Jianming! Ren Xue was a little embarrassed. She gave Bai Yi an apologetic look, Im really sorry about this. That person is sotis like that..
Xiao Xue, dont apologise. We have nothing to say to him! From within the building ca Wang Jianmings voice filled with resent.
Bai Yi politely smiled and didnt appear to take it to heart. He turned to Cheng Zhi Chu and Lu Wenjing who had been standing on the side the entire ti as if theyre transparent and said: Lets go in.
Okay.
Cheng Zhi Chu made a sound of acknowledgent and at the sa ti felt like his head was about to explode. What is this garbage? Why do we have to have this kind of dog-blood drama going on even while were faced with a life or death situation? But he didnt dare interrupt.he could only hope that they wouldnt continue fighting over sothing like this even after entering the mansion.
With a flashlight in their hands, everyone stepped into the mansion. The mont they all entered, the door slowly closed on its own. The musty sll grew stronger and it was mixed together with dust and a faint rotten sll that almost made Cheng Zhi Chu sneeze.
He covered his nose and mouth and used the other hand to hold his flashlight. He then nervously examined his surroundings.
They were currently in a place that appeared to be the living room. The floors, walls and furniture were all coated in a thick layer of dust. From under it, you could faintly see the originally brightly coloured and intricate patterns that once had its days of glory. But after the consecutive mysterious deaths, this place had been completely abandoned and it eventually beca this state.
For so reason, the temperature inside was much lower than the temperature outside. It didnt take long for Cheng Zhi Chu to feel cold and shiver.
He carefully examined the living room and didnt find anything out of the normal. He initiated the Clue Prompt skill and saw two items glowing faintly from inside the dimly lit living room before soon going out.
One of it was near where Lu Wenjing stood. She had seemingly noticed sothing and was about to go over in that direction, so Cheng Zhi Chu moved towards the direction of the other light. It was a tattered leather sofa. The leather wrapped around it had already been torn open. After hesitating for a mont, he reached into the exposed cotton and pulled out a small, hard object.
Cheng Zhi Chu spread open his hand and used his torch to illuminate the item in his hand. It was a small key with intricate engravings.
Discovered a clue. You gain 50 experience points and 100 survival points.]
Item Na: Key.]
Item Type: Instance Prop.]
Can you bring it out of an instance: No]
Description: A silver key. It looks like it could be used to open so sort of secret door.]
Every ti soone gets a hold of a special item inside an instance, they will automatically be given an introduction and description. Cheng Zhi Chu placed the key inside his pocket and turned around with the intention to report his discovery to the others but when his flashlight illuminated the floor, his entire body froze.
With the thick layer of dust on the floor, it was natural for the people walking around to leave behind footprints.
Only Cheng Zhi Chu had walked over to the location where he stood so it should only have one persons footprint, but he clearly saw another set of footprints on the floor along with his.
This set of footprints are extrely strange. The steps are ssy and there are also obvious signs of dragging. The footprints from the left foot were missing the front half and the latter half left behind dark-red stains. It was as if the foot had been cut in half and blood was still flowing out of it.
Cheng Zhi Chus expression changed and he took a step back. At this mont, a new footprint appeared in front of the set of footprints that he saw.
Splat.
With a soft sound, fresh blood fell to the ground. The direction of the footprint was faced towards Cheng Zhi Chus location!
Ahhhh!
A horrified scream suddenly rang out. The source of it was Lu Wenjing. At the sa ti there was the sound of wooden boards breaking. With her scream, Cheng Zhi Chus heart similarly quaked in fear. He fell to the ground onto his butt and pointed at the footprints with a pale face while crying out: Ghost!
Where?!
Wang Jianming and Ren Xue retreated backwards away from Lu Wengjing and Cheng Zhi Chu. Bai Yi however moved over to Cheng Zhi Chus location without any hesitation and helped him up. With a serious expression he asked: Dont be scared. What did you see?
Thank-thank you.
Through a thin layer of clothing, he could feel Bai Yis warmth travelling over from his palms. Adding on top of that his calm attitude, Cheng Zhi Chu who was scared to the point of death managed to breath deeply a few tis and calm his racing heart.
He couldnt help but feel that this Bai Yi person is a really good man and his good impression of him rose even more. After giving his thanks, he pointed in front of him and explained a little haphazardly: There. I saw a ghosts footprint.Huh? Its gone?
Cheng Zhi Chu suddenly stopped in his tracks and just looked on in disbelief. The bloody footprints that he saw earlier had completely vanished. On the ground was just a thick layer of dust and his and Bai Yis footprints.
Did he see wrong? Impossible. Sothing definitely appeared in front of him!
Cheng Zhi Chu quickly rembered that when he saw the footprints, he also heard Lu Wenjings scream. Could it be that that thing had attacked her instead? Thinking this, he imdiately directed his flashlight over and asked anxiously: Lu Wenjing, are you okay?
Im okay..
Lu Wenjing who was being illuminated by the light from the flashlight was a little pale. She was bending down with the crowbar in her hand. She pointed to the foot that had fallen into a gap on the floor and said with embarrassnt: Sorry, the floorboards broke. I was surprised by it and thought sothing had grabbed my leg
Are you crazy? Stop acting surprised over sothing like that.
Wang Jianming was scared to death earlier but, seeing that it was just fake scare, he imdiately yelled out with irritation. Lu Wenjing who was yelled at by him revealed a wronged expression. Holding tightly onto the crowbar, she lowered her head dejectedly.
Seeing Wang Jianmings rude attitude, Cheng Zhi Chu couldnt help but frown. Wang Jianming had not yet cald down and proceeded to direct his attack at Cheng Zhi Chu. Looking at him up and down he asked: Youre saying that there are ghosts footprints? Where is it?
Being asked with a scornful expression like that made Cheng Zhi Chu also feel irritated. With a cold expression he said: I definitely saw bloody footprints earlier, but I dont know why its gone now.
There are no footprints? Youre actually just too embarrassed to admit that you saw wrong right? I an, can you guys stop scaring people over nothing? Were already nervous enough as it is so what are you going to do if you end up really scaring soone to death
Wang Jianming grumbled and then turned his head over and changed his expression. He carefully looked at Ren Xue who had a bad expression and smiled: Xiao Xue, are you okay? You cold? This place is pretty cold. Do you want
to take off my jacket for you..Ah? You dont want it? But your face is so pale. You should wear it
Enough, shut up. Youre so embarrassing!
Ren Xues face flushed red. She felt that Wang Jianming is just too embarrassing and reached out to knock the jacket in his hands onto the ground causing dust to spread around her. She then turned around and angrily stomped over to Lu Wengjing to help her pull her leg out.
Wang Jianming was at loss. He didnt know why she was angry. He quickly apologised: Xiao Xue, Im sorry. I
Shut up! Ren Xue didnt look back and just yelled that phrase at him.
In an instant, the atmosphere was very awkward. Bai Yi supported Cheng Zhi Chu with faint smile on his handso face. His eyes however were very indifferent when he looked at the others. This was particularly the case for Wang Jianming. Each ti his eyes fell onto Wang Jianming, it would beco several degrees colder.
Cheng Zhichi didnt notice this and just wanted to resolve the situation. Although he was still a little upset, he said: Sorry brother for scaring you but we didnt do it deliberately. Also, Im certain that I didnt see wrong. Bloody footprints really appeared here, and the left foot appears to have been cut in half. It may be the ghost of soone who has lived here before.
Wang Jianming didnt say anything. After Lu Wenjing was pulled out by Ren Xue, she pulled out an old envelope stained with blood. In a small voice she said: I found this.It looks like a letter.
I also found a key, but I dont know what door it is for.
Cheng Zhi Chu pulled out the key and showed it to everyone. The five people once again grouped together, and Cheng Zhi Chu was given the letter. He glanced at the cover and then at the address before tearing open the envelope and reading the contents.
This is..a letter written by this mansions second owner. It is a letter addressed to his wife. Cheng Zhi Chu said with a frown.
To my sweetheart:
Dear, you probably didnt expect this kind of surprise from . I actually bought the Sorcha mansion and it was at an incredibly low price. Im about to go crazy from happiness. I want you to take the children and co over here to live with
now!
Of course, there is a reason why the Sorcha family is willing to sell this mansion..Although you may be scared, I feel that I should tell you the real reason.
Just a year ago, a tragedy occurred in the mansion. Its owner; Sorcha familys young daughter Mrs i Jie, and all their servants and even all the living animals died tragically in the mansion overnight. So far, no arrests have been made for this case.
God, this is such a terrible thingThe murderer mustve had a deep grudge against the Sorcha family, or they wouldnt do sothing as horrendous as this.
Reading until this point, youre probably wondering why I didnt ntion Mrs. i Jies newlywed husband. Could it be that he is still alive?
No. In fact, rumour says that he had already died before this tragedy had even occurred and that he had died in the basent of the mansion. Its just that there was no evidence of this, and no-one had seen his body so the police could only record him as missing.
A rumour has been passed amongst the nearby residents: Mr Charlie, that is, the newlywed husband, was probably killed by Mrs i Jie.
Before they were married, Mr Charlie was just a poor boy from the countryside. But with his good looks, Mrs i Jie fell in love with him at first sight. Like this, he eventually integrated into the Sorcha family and beca a mber of the upper class.
Its also because of this that Mrs i Jie would often treat him as if he was a dog. Whenever she is unhappy, she would throw a flurry of insults and attacks at Mr Charlie. In front of his wife, he had no dignity at all. In the end, perhaps because of so dispute between the two, Mrs i Jie simply killed him off.
I saw so horrific evidence of this in the basent: There were lots of scratches on the ground and the walls and even traces of dry blood. I once asked one of the servants to clean the blood up but, no matter what they did, it couldnt be removed. Its not difficult to imagine what terrible things had probably happened in the basent.
Perhaps the tragedy that happened afterwards had sothing to do with Mr Charlie, but I didnt want to probe any further, so I decided to permanently seal the basent off.
You also dont have to worry dear. Sothing like this would definitely not happen to us because we love each other and will continue to love each other for the rest of eternity.
Thats right. Theres sothing else thats interesting. In the mansions main bedroom on the second floor, that is, the room that the newlywed couple had used, was a hidden door. It is hidden behind an oil painting and it requires a key to open, but I couldnt find the key. The hidden door is extrely solid and it cannot be broken with external force.
When you co, we can bring the kids together to try and find the key. This will be a very interesting and fun family treasure hunt activity!]
.It is then signed off with, Your love and the letter ends there.
Cheng Zhi Chu read the letter and looked up at the others. After Ren Xue finished listening to it, she wanted to say sothing, but she suddenly felt soone touching her shoulder.
She thought it was Wang Jianming wanting to hook his arm around her shoulder and just frowned and moved her hand intending to swat his hand away only to find that her hands hit thin air
It didnt touch anything.
At the sa ti, in addition to feeling sothing touching her shoulder, she also felt fluid dripping down. The fabric on her shoulder soon beca stained and a faint bloody sll could be slt.
Her body suddenly stiffened, and she slowly lowered her head down and peeked behind her.
A pair of footprints were printed clearly on the ground closely behind her. The left foot lacked the front half and blood-red stains were left on the dusty floor.
Splat.
