Chapter 282: Midnight Haunted House 70
"Found Shangqiu Ping. Wasn't that Shangqiu Ping just now?" Su Qingyun asked Ye Jian.
At this time, Ye Jian picked up the rib again and answered Su Qingyun, "Of course not, that's just his clone."
"Clone?"
Ye Jian took out a dagger and imitated Su Qingyun to rip open the second humanoid puppet's stomach, then he took out another rib from it.
Su Qingyun understood what he meant by clones, "So we need to gather Shangqiu Ping's remains in this dance hall tonight."
"Yes, that's right."
"And how did you know that?"
"The billboard at the door." It was Xu Xinghe who spoke. He seemed to be pondering his memory. "When we came in, the billboard at the door seemed to say something about tonight's game. Now that I think about it, it should be our mission for tonight."
Is that so? Su Qingyun also began to think seriously. When the three people came in, Su Qingyun was walking on the far right. Her attention was always on the big words on the archway, but she didn't look carefully at the billboards at the door.
It seems that the customs clearance boss observed more carefully than her.
"Have you seen the rules?" Su Qingyun asked Ye Jian.
Ye Jian said nothing and took out a yellowed piece of paper from his pocket.
"Where did you get this?"
"I took it off the crack of the gate while you were marking it."
"You're taking it out now?"
"Don't be nervous, there are no taboos in the content, it's all about teaching us how to do it."
Yeah?
Su Qingyun unfolded the paper and read it carefully.
Rules for the Lisa Ballroom Treasure Hunt: 1. Search anywhere in the ballroom, but don't damage Miss Lisa's makeup cabinet. 2. You can keep the treasure you find for yourself or share it with others. 3. Don't be afraid when you see a humanoid puppet; it might surprise you. 4. Occasionally, you'll hear beautiful singing. When you hear it, stop searching, close your eyes, and listen quietly. 5. Treasures are precious, so try not to share them with others.
Apart from the first one which requires special caution, there are really no taboos.
Su Qingyun returned the rules to Ye Jian. She thought they could leave work early today.
After collecting two ribs from the second room, the three men headed to the third room.
The third room is a small dance hall. In the small space there is a round stage with a microphone on it, a few chairs below and a light bulb in the middle.
What kind of human bones would be hidden in a room like this?
Su Qingyun stood at the door and first looked at the furnishings in the room before starting to search manually.
She found a hand bone in the gap between the curtains.
"Ye Jian, how many bones does a person have?"
"Two hundred and six."
Su Qingyun also knew that there are 206 bones in the human body. She asked this question because she actually wanted to tell Ye Jian and Xu Xinghe that she had previously thought the problem was simple.
They may not be able to leave work early, because searching one by one, although not like looking for a needle in a haystack, is like looking for trees in a forest.
"We have to search carefully," Su Qingyun said to the two of them, "It's best not to miss any place, otherwise we will have to repeat it many times."
Even if they are just one last one, they will turn this nightclub upside down again.
Fortunately, in the fourth room Xu Xinghe found a whole skull with all the teeth intact.
Su Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief.
Hopefully they'll find a whole spine later.
Three people came out of the fourth room, and then Ye Jian told Su Qingyun a piece of news, "There are no more rooms on the second floor."
Su Qingyun used the flashlight in his hand to look around. There were indeed only four rooms on the second floor, all on one side, and the other side was full of fake rooms.
The so-called fake room is one that has only one door but no door handle. It may have been deliberately designed into this layout during decoration.
"Then let's search the first floor carefully." Su Qingyun thought about it and decided that the three of them should search separately, which would be faster.
"Then I will search the stage." Xu Xinghe was the first to accept the task.
Su Qingyun nodded and assigned herself the task of searching the backstage. "The front hall is left to you." She patted Ye Jian and went downstairs first.
There are three dressing rooms backstage. The one Su Qingyun and Ye Jian entered before was the first one. Su Qingyun decided to start searching from this one.
When the three people came in before, they left in a hurry because there was nothing unusual. Su Qingyun only took a rough look at the furnishings inside.
When she came in again, Su Qingyun felt that it was slightly different from the first time she came in.
The overturned tables and chairs, the broken makeup mirror and some dusty cosmetics were still there, but the order of the cosmetics on the table seemed to have changed.
Su Qingyun bent down and looked carefully at the cosmetics on the table. She was sure that they had indeed changed positions.
The gold tube lipstick that was previously placed at the very edge is now placed at the very innermost part, as if someone was afraid that the lipstick would fall and picked it up again.
Su Qingyun wanted to pick up the lipstick and take a look at it, but when she remembered that the first rule of the search was not to touch Miss Lisa's makeup cabinet, she withdrew her hand.
What if this is Miss Lisa's dressing cabinet?
Have to confirm first.
She left the room and searched the doorframe for anything written on it saying "For Miss Lisa Only."
As it turned out, it didn’t.
She returned to the room and carefully opened the drawer on the dressing table. Inside were some jewelry and other things, but judging from their quality, they were all made of worthless metal.
It should be used for performances, not personal belongings.
Su Qingyun closed the drawer and opened the bottom cabinet.
There was a pillow inside, not in human shape, but with a strange shape.
Su Qingyun took out the dagger and was about to cut it open, but when she was about to do so, she suddenly remembered that she should not be reckless. She put away the dagger and pinched the pillow with her hand.
I didn't pinch anything hard.
She stood up and looked at the clothes rack. The dance dress was still hanging on the hanger in a mess. Su Qingyun took it down and shook it out one by one, but no human bones were found.
She cast her eyes on the white tulle dress in the glass case.
She walked over, raised the flashlight and carefully examined the white tulle skirt in the glass cover. It was a very delicate skirt, and the lace trim glowed softly, but upon closer inspection, there were some gray-black lines in the folds of the tulle skirt, like damp mold spots or some creatures slowly wriggling.
Su Qingyun knocked on the glass, and the echo proved that it was a hard glass cover. It seemed difficult to break it, but Su Qingyun still wanted to give it a try.
She turned around to get a stick, but unexpectedly a light suddenly appeared on the glass cover.
The light was very dim, and when it came on, only the outline of the tulle skirt could be seen from the outside.
Then Su Qingyun saw that behind the dim light there seemed to be a pair of invisible hands grasping the petticoat of the gauze skirt and slowly tightening it.
Su Qingyun was very surprised. Wherever there was a strange appearance, there must be human bones.
She picked up the wooden stick and smashed it directly at the glass cover.
