Chapter 274: Midnight Haunted House 62
Su Qingyun knew that no one would answer the questions in her mind, so she could only patiently watch on.
Because it is a private well, not many people come into contact with it, and the images are played very quickly. It does not take much time to watch them frame by frame. Except for the large number of people who flocked in when fighting the fire, the rest of the time there are only some animals such as sparrows and mice.
"That is to say, after the fire, this house was vacant, and this well was also vacant." Ye Jian analyzed, supporting his chin.
At this time, Su Qingyun saw a familiar figure and she quickly clicked pause.
"What's wrong?" Ye Jian asked.
Xu Xinghe understood Su Qingyun. When he saw her looking at the man on the screen excitedly with tears in her eyes, he knew who this person was.
"Is that your father?"
Su Qingyun nodded.
Because the note pen only had a pause function and no replay function, Su Qingyun only saw a shadow of his father, who seemed to be looking for something in the well.
When Ye Jian heard that it was Su Qingyun's father, he quickly came over to take a closer look. He said, "It seems that your father has also been to this scene. Although he just passed by it in a flash, it can be seen that your father seemed very anxious."
"He seems to be hiding from something here."
Su Qingyun felt the same way.
What is my father avoiding?
Could it be those corpse worms?
"Actually, I also saw my father's image in the company building. The room he was staying in was shown as Room 4. The administrator told me that the person living in Room 4 was a duplicate." Su Qingyun told Ye Jian and Xu Xinghe what he knew.
Ye Jian thought for a moment, "So even though your father was injured and contaminated, he still returned to the company?"
"Not necessarily." Xu Xinghe offered a contrary opinion. He said, "From the company's images, we can only know that Su Qingyun's father is a duplicate, but it doesn't mean that he is still in the company."
"Xu Xinghe is right. My father spent two months in this dungeon. If he returned to the company as a duplicate, the administrator should have known about it. But he said he had some impression of it but hadn't seen it in a long time."
Su Qingyun waved her hand to hide the picture. She walked to the well, looked at the water in the well and thought for a while. Finally, she decided to go down and take a look.
"Judging from the last still image, my father must have gone down there. I want to try using a marker in the well again."
"I'll go with you." Xu Xinghe took the initiative to step forward.
But Ye Jian pushed him back and said, "Your leg is injured. There is a risk of infection if you go down the well. Let me accompany Su Qingyun down the well."
Xu Xinghe insisted, but was stopped by Su Qingyun, "Ye Jian is right. You have an injury on your leg. Although it has been treated, it is still very easy to get infected. In our situation, we don't know if it has been contaminated. It's better to be vigilant."
"But you're injured, too."
Su Qingyun touched his shoulder and said, "I only suffered a superficial injury, just a few scrapes. It might have healed by now."
She patted Xu Xinghe's shoulder and said, "Keep an eye on them for us outside."
Xu Xinghe, however, looked worried. "The red-clothed female ghost has gone into the well. It's more dangerous down there than up there. I'm really worried about you going down there."
Su Qingyun assured him and comforted him by saying that everything was fine.
Xu Xinghe still looked worried.
Ye Jian sat by the well and watched the two people like this and couldn't help but ask, "Is it really that hard to tell them apart?"
"What are you talking about?" Su Qingyun replied.
Ye Jian snorted, "We're not going down there to die. Don't make it so difficult for us to live or die. Even if it's not to find father, even if it's to catch a female ghost, one of us three has to go down."
This is true, but a bit too specific.
The targets were naturally Su Qingyun and Xu Xinghe.
Su Qingyun walked over and warned Ye Jian with her eyes, asking him to be more careful with his words.
"How can I be careful?" Ye Jian lowered his voice. "I am also worried about your safety, but I know that what you care about most right now is your father, so you will definitely go down the well. I am willing to go through fire and water for you. You are flirting with others, and you still want me to be careful."
"What's the point of fighting and scolding?" Su Qingyun also lowered her voice, "Xu Xinghe is just worried about me."
"Why isn't he worried about me?"
"Then ask yourself about your own character."
Ye Jian snorted coldly, "If you're being too attentive for no reason, you're either a traitor or a thief. You're the one I should be watching."
"What is there for me to pay attention to?" Su Qingyun also snorted coldly.
The two people parted on bad terms, and neither of them spoke to each other when they were preparing to go down the well. Su Qingyun took off her backpack and put on a set of safety equipment with the help of Xu Xinghe. After fastening the safety buckle, she was the first to go down the well.
Ye Jian tried to pull her but couldn't.
"What a bad temper!"
Ye Jian also followed him down the well.
Because he was worried that Su Qingyun would be reckless in the well, Ye Jian went down quickly and caught up with Su Qingyun in two or three steps.
He pulled Su Qingyun to his side and began to coax her, "Okay, okay, don't be angry. I was wrong just now. I shouldn't have said that about you and Xu Xinghe."
Su Qingyun was still angry. She questioned Ye Jian, "Do you think I'm a love-brained person? As long as a man treats me well, I'll fall in love with someone else?"
Ye Jian did not answer her question, but looking at his expression, Su Qingyun felt that his answer was yes.
Seeing him like this, Su Qingyun wanted to beat him up, but just as she stretched out her hand, she retracted it.
"Why don't you fight anymore?"
"Look behind you."
Ye Jian turned around, holding onto the wall of the well, and then he saw a hole extending inward.
"What is this?" Su Qingyun, who was hanging on the rope, looked at the hole and asked Ye Jian, "Why does this look like a drainage hole?"
Su Qingyun knew very little about the construction of underground drainage systems. Suddenly, she discovered a large hole near the water surface of a well. Her first reflex was that this large hole was used for drainage.
But who would drain the water into a well, especially a hole that is more than one person tall?
Moreover, when Su Qingyun was watching the scene just now, he could see someone drawing water from this well for use.
So, this is a well for drinking water.
Just as Ye Jian and Su Qingyun were hanging on the rope and showing great interest in the entrance of the well, a red figure flashed past the entrance.
Ye Jian reacted very quickly. After the red shadow flashed by, he immediately unbuckled his safety buckle and jumped directly onto the platform at the entrance of the cave.
Then he started chasing after him with a spear in hand.
Su Qingyun called him.
"Ye Jian, what should I do if you run away?"
He was so skilled that he could jump to the entrance of the cave with one leap, but she didn't have that ability.
When Ye Jian heard Su Qingyun's voice, he hurried back and stretched out his spear towards Su Qingyun.
Su Qingyun caught the spear, and after calculating the distance, she decisively unfastened the safety buckle.
She thought that while she was unbuckled, she could use the spear that Ye Jian handed to her to jump to the cave entrance.
Unexpectedly, just as she was about to exert force, a strong big hand suddenly stretched out from the water and dragged her into the well.
