Chapter 113: Forbidden Love 34
Su Qingyun's last sentence was actually a test, because she always suspected that Ye Jian had voluntarily entered the copy in order to find something in the copy.
For example, a mysterious piece of equipment that a wealthy tycoon wants.
Looking at the change in Ye Jian's expression, Su Qingyun felt that her test had an answer.
Ye Jian was really looking for something in the copy.
What is it? Su Qingyun became curious.
With this curiosity, Su Qingyun followed Xu Xinghe to a wax museum.
A wax museum appears in a snack street. They are probably just handicrafts and there is no art to speak of.
At first, Su Qingyun thought so too, but when Ye Jian pushed open the door of the wax museum and saw a skinny old man sitting behind an arched window collecting fees, Su Qingyun felt that it should not be just a handicraft.
"It's one hundred yuan to see the wax figure. You can only look at it, don't touch it." The skinny old man said mechanically, his eyes not looking anywhere.
Ye Jian took out a handful of money from his pocket and threw it on the counter. He didn't even look at how much money there was. Instead, he held up three fingers and said, "Three people, how long can you watch?"
The old man used a pair of pliers to pick up all the paper money for the dead and put it into the drawer. He didn't even count how much money there was, then he tore off three tickets and put them on the counter.
"Go straight ahead and turn right. Look as long as you want."
Su Qingyun looked at the time. It was 3:10 in the morning. No matter how long it took, they had to finish before dawn.
"Two hours at most." She reminded Ye Jian.
"There should be more than enough time." Ye Jian took the ticket, held one in his mouth, and then gave one to Su Qingyun and Yin Qi.
Yin Qi took it, wet it with his mouth and then stuck it on his forehead, just like a Taoist priest sticking talismans on a thousand-year-old zombie.
Su Qingyun was stunned by his strange behavior and looked at him in disbelief.
She called him brother, "If you don't have a place to put it, I can help you. It's not necessary, right?"
Very creepy.
"This is to ward off evil spirits. If you stick some of this in a haunted place like this, those messy things won't find you."
Yin Qi asked Su Qingyun to stick it on as well.
Su Qingyun was skeptical.
Ye Jian advised her to be obedient, "Yin Qi is not only an amazing network engineer but also a yin and yang master. It's right to listen to him."
Su Qingyun, "..." It was the first time she heard that someone who knew the Internet could also read yin and yang. Was he a high-tech talent or a sorcerer?
Su Qingyun complained in her heart, but when she saw Ye Jian also sticking the ticket stub on his forehead, she did the same.
Three humans in black, with yellowed ticket stubs stuck on their foreheads, walked cautiously towards an unknown area.
Go straight and turn right, there is another door, but this door has no door panel and is covered with a thick curtain.
There was a wooden sign hanging above the curtain with five words written on it: Hunze Wax Museum.
A gust of cold wind blew towards Su Qingyun and the other two from the gap in the curtain. Ye Jian drew out his Soul-Devouring Sword and nodded to Yin Qi, signaling him to lift the curtain.
Yin Qi pulled out a fan from his waist, opened it to cover his mouth and nose, and slowly walked towards the door curtain.
Their cautious look made Su Qingyun nervous, but she had nothing in her hands. When she was thinking about whether to borrow a long stick from Ye Yi again, Yin Qi suddenly lifted the door curtain.
He lifted it up so quickly that Su Qingyun had no time to react. The following scene made Su Qingyun break out in a cold sweat.
The moment Yin Qi lifted the door curtain, a large cloud of black fog suddenly surged out and swarmed towards them with a whistling sound.
Ye Yi immediately spread his wings to protect Su Qingyun under his body. At the same time, Ye Jian swung the Soul-Devouring Sword in his hand. The blade made a buzzing sound and split the black mist into two like a sharp arrow.
The whirring sound stopped, followed by the sound of something landing on the ground.
Su Qingyun poked her head out from Ye Yi's wings and saw the ground covered with insects, a large black patch.
"What is this?" she asked Ye Jian.
"Corpse moth."
"Isn't this a wax museum? Why are there corpse moths?"
"Wax figures are expensive to make and the process is complicated. Some unscrupulous businessmen use dead bodies instead of models to save costs, and then cover them with a layer of wax to make a wax figure."
"Is it true?" Su Qingyun was afraid that Ye Jian was talking nonsense and deliberately trying to scare her.
Ye Jian said proudly, "When have I, Ye Jian, ever told a lie? If you don't believe me, just peel off a wax figure when we go in to search and you'll see."
"No, I trust you."
Ye Jian smiled, feeling somewhat complacent.
The three of them entered the museum.
There is a long corridor inside the museum, with wax figures of various shapes placed on both sides.
The first thing that caught my eye was a boy and a girl. Their exposed skin looked as if it had been waxed, but the workmanship made it look more like offerings burned for the dead. Their faces were so pale that even with blush on both sides of their cheeks, it couldn't cover up the grayish-white color.
"Why does this place look like a funeral shop?" Su Qingyun couldn't help but say it, because the furnishings inside were so similar, especially the wax figures in front of the aisle, who were actually holding white banners in their hands to bid farewell to the dead.
Seeing this scene, Ye Jian suddenly became excited, contrary to his usual behavior. He said happily, "Maybe this is where we should come."
Su Qingyun, "..." It is certain that Master Ye is addicted to horror games.
This is a spooky and gloomy place. People without much courage would not dare to come here.
They began to search. Yin Qi used a compass to predict good or bad luck, Su Qingyun searched the left side, and Ye Jian searched the right side.
Su Qingyun searched very politely. She checked each wax figure one by one, then reached out and touched the pockets of the wax figures' clothes, following the advice of the skinny old man at the door and not touching anything randomly.
Ye Jian was different. Starting from the first wax figure, he took off the clothes of the wax figure.
Although the overall structure of this wax figure is not a one-to-one restoration of the human body, it is still very uncomfortable to see the wax figure with blush on its face standing bare.
"Can you please not take off all your clothes? Do you have anything..."
While Su Qingyun was trying to persuade him, Ye Jian shook out a key from the clothes of a female wax figure.
The key is not in the pocket of the clothes but inserted in the gap of the clothes.
Without the rudeness of leaf clippers, it may not be found.
Su Qingyun swallowed the rest of the words.
Ye Jian picked up the key and looked at it in the dim light of the wax museum, then asked Su Qingyun, "Guess where this key is from?"
Su Qingyun went over to take a look and saw that it was a key to a security door. After entering the Soul Ze scene copy, she did not find any door that needed to be opened with a key. Known places did not require it, so this key was needed to open the unknown area.
Su Qingyun looked at the time again. It was 3:29. From the perspective of completing the mission alone, they could continue searching in the wax museum. Regardless of whether they found anything or not, their mission should be considered completed.
but……
"You want to find the place that this key can open?"
"Yes, it should be somewhere in this wax museum." Ye Jian weighed the key in his hand, and the excitement on his face became even more intense.
