Chapter 237: Midnight Haunted House 24
After clearing all the female ghosts in the room, Su Qingyun stood there and waited for a few seconds. As expected, the system did not give any penalty. Ye Jian was right. As long as he did not do anything that was not allowed by the rules, he would not be penalized.
Because these ghosts in the haunted house are not the weird ones in the dungeon. They are things that need to be eliminated, not NPCs.
After figuring this out, Su Qingyun was no longer afraid. Not only was she no longer scared, she was even a little angry because the ghosts in the house had just teased her.
So when dealing with the closed door, Su Qingyun also adopted Ye Jian's violent method. She used a crowbar to pry it open.
Seeing this, Xu Xinghe hurried over to help.
The door was not very strong and was padlocked, so the two men opened it with almost no effort.
Su Qingyun came out of the cloud and looked in the aisle, but did not see Ye Jian.
She turned her gaze to the only uncleaned room on the third floor.
The second room on the right.
Unlike the first and third rooms, the door of the second room is an iron door, and the lock is also a cross lock anti-theft lock installed on the door.
Xu Xinghe took out the keys from his body. Among the four keys, the key to the cross lock was particularly different.
Su Qingyun took the key from Xu Xinghe and carefully inserted it into the keyhole. When she was about to turn it, she gave Xu Xinghe a wink, indicating that no matter what was in the room, if the other party attacked them, he could just use the crowbar to smash it.
Xu Xinghe nodded and raised the crowbar.
The door opened, and the room wasn't dark as expected, but there was no pink light either.
Su Qingyun opened the door completely and saw another Buddha statue at the innermost part of the room. The room was not so dark because there were two white candles lit in front of the Buddha statue, emitting a soft yellowish light.
There was no bed in the room, but both sides of the room were hung with cloth banners with some strange symbols painted on them. These banners hung from both sides of the room and then gathered on the ceiling in the center of the room, forming the shape of a bouquet of flowers.
Su Qingyun looked at the shape of the bouquet and felt that it looked familiar.
Xu Xinghe told her, "It looks a bit like the red spider lily."
Mandragora?
"The way this room is arranged, it should be used for some kind of ceremony," said Xu Xinghe.
Su Qingyun felt the same way.
only……
Where did Ye Jian go?
Before opening the door, Su Qingyun thought that Ye Jian would be trapped in this room like Xu Xinghe, because when she went to rescue Xu Xinghe, Ye Jian was standing at the door. After the pink light came on, he would most likely be pulled in by the ghost in the room next door.
There was no sign of Ye Jian in the room now, which made Su Qingyun very worried.
She stood at the door, hesitating whether to go in.
But Xu Xinghe walked in and said, "Su Qingyun, look, the Buddha statue on the table looks a bit like Ye Jian."
Su Qingyun took a closer look and found that they did look a bit similar, but only in face. The body...
Because the body of the Buddha statue is clearly a female body.
"Are we hallucinating?" Su Qingyun doubted herself because this was impossible.
In a room of a haunted house, there is a female statue that looks like Ye Jian.
This is too much.
Xu Xinghe took a few steps closer to the statue, and this time he began to study the things on the altar.
There were five things in total on the altar: a folded piece of paper, a comb, and three palm-sized porcelain boxes. The colors of the small porcelain boxes were different: red, white, and blue.
Xu Xinghe opened the lid of the porcelain box. The red box should contain lip balm, the white box should contain powder, and the green box should contain eyebrow cream.
They are all women's makeup items.
"Does our country have a god who controls women's makeup?" Xu Xinghe asked Su Qingyun, because he didn't know much about it.
Su Qingyun shook her head. She didn't know much about gods or ghosts. "I've only heard that there are gods in charge of appearance abroad, like Aphrodite in ancient Greek mythology and Venus in ancient Roman mythology. In China... could it be Meng Po?"
Su Qingyun glanced at the statue on the altar. "Legend has it that Meng Po is a woman who never married. Some say she's an old woman. However, she would boil red spider lilies and water from the Wangchuan River into Meng Po soup, which would make the souls of the deceased forget all the grudges of their past lives. This doesn't fit the temperament of this haunted house."
Of course, this has nothing to do with why the statue looks like Ye Jian.
Su Qingyun felt that the statues she and Xu Xinghe saw must have been their hallucinations.
"Let's look around the house and see if we find anything new."
But the furnishings in the room were very sparse, with nothing else except the altar and a few cushions on the floor.
Xu Xinghe stood in front of the altar and used a crowbar to lift the black tablecloth on the altar, then he saw a staircase leading downwards.
"Su Qingyun!"
Su Qingyun hurried over.
"There are stairs."
Su Qingyun squatted down and lifted the tablecloth completely. The staircase was not big and could only accommodate one person going up and down. It was called a staircase but it was actually an iron ladder, similar to the manhole cover in the basement of Gordon Manor.
"Ye Jian." Su Qingyun shouted towards the stairs.
There was a response from below the cave entrance, as if someone had their mouth covered and could only make a humming sound.
Su Qingyun got anxious and rushed in directly, so fast that Xu Xinghe didn't have time to react.
He tried to pull her, but only grabbed her sleeves, but soon the sleeves disappeared from his hands.
Xu Xinghe felt a little disappointed, but when he thought about how Su Qingyun had risked her life to save him, he immediately felt relieved.
He followed in as well.
Downstairs is Tu Zhigang's room.
When Su Qingyun came down, she saw Ye Jian tied to Tu Zhigang's bed. Although he was making a whimpering sound, he did not look panicked.
When he saw Su Qingyun coming down, a smile appeared on his face.
Tu Zhigang, no, now it was a female ghost with Tu Zhigang's face. She was sitting beside the bed and looking at Ye Jian silently, not paying any attention to Su Qingyun who was coming down the stairs. It seemed that "she" was obsessed with Ye Jian's face.
"Handsome guy, you are so handsome. I will marry you when I become a real woman, okay?" "She" reached out and touched Ye Jian's face.
What is going on?
Could this female ghost be Tu Zhigang?
The female ghost continued, "Your companion is also very handsome, but he seems to have someone in his heart. I touched him twice and he still didn't want to. It's good of you that you don't hate me." The female ghost stood up and bent down to kiss Ye Jian on the mouth.
Ye Jian no longer smiled, he glared at Su Qingyun.
Su Qingyun raised the peach wood sword and slashed at the female ghost, but she missed.
The female ghost hid for a moment and then dodged away. "She" ignored Su Qingyun's attack and continued "her" actions.
"She" kissed Ye Jian's mouth, but it was only through the black tape.
Yes, Ye Jian now has black tape wrapped around his mouth.
Su Qingyun wanted to chop again, but Xu Xinghe came down the stairs. He grabbed Su Qingyun and shook his head at her. Then he quickly took out a red garbage bag from the toolbox and put it over the ghost girl's head.
The female ghost let out a sharp scream and then turned into black smoke.
