Chapter 229: Midnight Haunted House 16
Su Qingyun looked at the time. It was still twenty minutes until ten o'clock in the evening.
"If we can't find the key, we'll have to force our way in." She told Xu Xinghe and Ye Jian.
Xu Xinghe and Ye Jian both agreed, because there was no rule prohibiting forced entry.
only……
"Are you sure this is Yard No. 3 in Butcher Village?" Su Qingyun asked Ye Jian. She was afraid she had made a mistake.
Ye Jian didn't say anything. He retreated to the gate, then scanned the doorplate with his flashlight and replied, "One hundred percent sure, if it's not posted incorrectly."
"Then..." Su Qingyun was surprised, but before she could utter the two words, the door of the house suddenly opened from the inside with a creak.
Xu Xinghe and Su Qingyun were close to the door, and the moment the door opened, they both stepped back at the same time.
"This is too weird." Su Qingyun patted her chest. If Xu Xinghe and Ye Jian hadn't been with her, she would have definitely run away just now.
The three people looked at the open door quietly, waiting to see if anything else happened.
For example, an old woman with disheveled hair suddenly walks out of the house.
In the end, there was nothing, as if the door was opened just for the three anxious people.
Ye Jian is worthy of being the king of passing the level, and he is the bravest. After waiting and seeing that nothing happened, he stepped up the stairs first, then pushed the half-open door wide open. Finally, he raised the flashlight and shone it in the house, and finally turned on the light in the living room with a "click".
With the arrival of light, everything becomes normal.
The happiest person was Su Qingyun. She didn't expect that there would be lights in this scene copy.
She walked in quickly and looked around the room carefully.
The interior furnishings were very simple, as apart from a table, there was nothing inside, not even a chair.
There was nothing messy on the table. Apart from a black and white photo, there was an incense burner. At this moment, there were three incense sticks on the incense burner, and they were three incense sticks that had just been lit.
All three of them saw the three incense sticks.
Xu Xinghe pulled Su Qingyun back as she rushed in, and whispered to her to be careful.
Ye Jian walked around the room with his arms folded, and finally stopped in front of the incense table. He bent down and began to look at the black and white photo.
There are incense sticks burning in front of the black and white photo, which is obviously for the deceased.
"He's about fifty years old, a man. There's a picture of him on the incense table, and he's burning incense. If today isn't his death anniversary, then he must have been dead for quite some time."
"How long is it before death?" Su Qingyun asked humbly.
"Seven days. In some places, people believe that the deceased will return to life after seven days, so they will offer incense to the deceased every day during these seven days to ensure his safety."
“But this is a haunted house.”
“So here we are.”
"Do you want to go to the back first?" Xu Xinghe lifted the curtain leading to the back of the main hall and asked Su Qingyun and Ye Jian.
He reminded again, "There are still sixteen minutes until ten o'clock in the evening."
Ten o'clock in the evening is a strange time in the dungeon. In many cases, the lights need to be turned off. Even if the rules do not require the lights to be turned off, sometimes the dungeon will automatically turn off all lights.
It's definitely a good idea to check the whole house while there's still light.
Su Qingyun and Ye Jian nodded and followed Xu Xinghe towards the back door.
Behind the door curtain, there is a staircase leading to the second floor on one side. Three steps forward is a wooden door. According to the construction system of rural houses, this back door should lead to the kitchen and patio.
Xu Xing couldn't open the bolt, and the three people walked in one after another.
Just as imagined, there is a kitchen at the back. There is an aisle between the kitchen and the front hall. It is not long, only three or four meters. The patio is on the left side of the back door. There are rows of shelves on both sides of the patio, and there are many iron hooks on the shelves.
The three of them were very familiar with this hook, which was used when slaughtering livestock.
"Is this a slaughterhouse?" Su Qingyun asked, because if this was a slaughterhouse, the space would be too small.
She sniffed, "There's no smell of blood, so why are there so many racks of meat hanging?"
"Let's go upstairs and take a look."
The three people went upstairs. The stairs were made of cement and were sturdy, but the ground was a bit rough. There were some steel bars sticking out on the side of the handrail, which was no different from an unfinished house.
On the second floor, there is another living room, directly opposite the stairs. The bathroom is built next to the stairs, less than one square meter, and is very small.
Su Qingyun stuck her head in to take a look. There was a washbasin in the bathroom, and above the basin was a mirror made of broken glass. The faucet was rusty. Su Qingyun tried to turn it, but no water came out.
She glanced at the corner again and saw a mop, very new.
"How strange." Su Qingyun retreated from the bathroom and said to Xu Xinghe and Ye Jian, "This house is very shabby, but it is very clean."
The glass mirror was spotless, there was no dust on the rusty faucet, and the floor was also clean.
The three of them went to the living room on the second floor. There were very few furnishings, and the things were worn but clean.
Then they went to the room.
There was only one room on the second floor, with the bed placed next to the window. The quilt on the bed was worn out, but it was washed clean and folded neatly.
Su Qingyun took a look at the bed. It was a single iron bed, 50 centimeters high. It seemed that the bottom of the bed did not require much effort to clean.
There was also a wardrobe in the room, but since they were just taking a quick look, none of the three opened the door.
They went to the third floor.
The third floor is locked.
The brass padlock was very large and new.
The three of them returned to the first floor, and Xu Xinghe asked Su Qingyun and Ye Jian if they had noticed anything.
"I have no clue. I don't even know who the owner of this house is." Su Qingyun said as he turned to look at the deceased on the incense table.
She suddenly discovered that the black and white photo on the incense table had changed.
The black and white photo at this time shows an old lady with a kind face.
"Look." She pointed at the photo and asked Ye Jian and Xu Xinghe to look at it.
They both turned around at the same time, and at this moment, the lights in the room went out.
Only the incense sticks on the table were lit, illuminating the black and white photo.
The three people saw the kind-faced old lady suddenly smile.
Ye Jian was the first to turn on the flashlight, and with the light of the flashlight, the photo returned to its original state.
It was still the photo of a middle-aged man in his fifties.
Then Xu Xinghe also turned on the flashlight.
None of the three spoke, probably frightened by the strange scene just now.
"Should we start working?" Su Qingyun's voice floated in the room, with a slight tremor.
She always felt that a smiling old woman would come from behind and pat her on the back.
This feeling is not good.
"There's not much to work with here." Ye Jian seemed to sense Su Qingyun's nervousness. He asked Xu Xinghe to light the room while he sealed the windows with black tape alone.
"Protect her." He instructed Xu Xinghe.
Xu Xinghe pulled Su Qingyun into his arms.
Su Qingyun's wildly beating heart finally calmed down.
But the next second, she felt a hand touching her calf.
