Chapter 285: Midnight Haunted House 73
Since Ye Jian had made the decision, Su Qingyun didn't say much. She turned her gaze to Xu Xinghe.
Xu Xinghe nodded at Su Qingyun, indicating that he was also willing to find out the truth first.
The three walked along the corridor to the end and stopped at the red arrow shown on the drawing.
"Nothing." After checking, Su Qingyun gave his own judgment, "It seems that we really need to trigger the stairs based on key information."
Ye Jian and Xu Xinghe were both in deep thought, probably wondering what water shadow coverage meant.
Su Qingyun suddenly became playful and said to the two people, "Water shadow coverage may mean that you should take two buckets of water and pour them on this wall."
"If you want to pour two buckets of water on this wall, just say pour. Why do you have to say water shadows are covering it? Has the system learned to be picky about words?"
Ye Jian snorted coldly, then reached out and knocked Su Qingyun on the head.
"Captain Su hasn't grown taller, but he's become much more cunning. He even wants to tease Xu Xinghe and me."
Su Qingyun twitched the corner of his mouth.
Xu Xinghe then took out a bottle of mineral water from the space and said to the two, "Can we understand the meaning of water shadow coverage this way? Project the shadow of the water onto the wall, covering it completely."
Ye Jian felt that Xu Xinghe's idea was very novel, but also logical.
He hurried over to help, so one man held up the water bottle and the other shone a flashlight at the bottle.
A miracle really happened. A spiral staircase slowly hung down from the ceiling. As it continued to descend, the accumulated dust fell down and the smell of old and dilapidated things rushed into the nostrils.
The three of them adjusted the masks on their faces with their hands, and after all the stairs were lowered, Ye Jian took the lead and stepped up.
Although the staircase is a spiral structure, it is made of spliced wood and makes a squeaking sound when you step on it.
The old handrails were covered with a thick layer of dust, and the searchlights cast flickering spots of light on the steps. Every step made a "creaking" sound like an out-of-tune instrument, producing a strange echo.
The three of them walked to the top. The area where the stairs went down was a yellowed wall with some peeling paint. Several old chandeliers from the last century hung on both sides, and the bulbs were covered with a layer of mist.
Ye Jian reached out and pulled the light cord. The dim light made people feel groggy and even a little dizzy. Xu Xinghe reached out to support Su Qingyun and said, "Be careful."
Ye Jian took out the hexagonal bell from his waist and shook it in his hand. Then the three of them could see clearly and they saw the half-open door shown on the drawing.
"What's that smell?" Su Qingyun sniffed, because the air was no longer filled with the smell of old and dilapidated things, but the smell of expired cheap perfume, which was pungent and unpleasant.
Ye Jian and Xu Xinghe also sniffed it and fanned themselves at the same time. It seemed that neither of them could accept the smell.
"Let's get out quickly." Xu Xinghe quickly opened the door. He hoped to smell the fresh air as soon as possible.
The door creaked open, and a chill lingered before my eyes.
The three of them shivered from the cold.
Are we going to do the scene change again?
Out of curiosity, the three of them poked their heads inside, only to find that outside the door was not a rooftop but a room.
The room was in a mess, as if it had been robbed. Drawers and cabinets were open, and even the bed had been turned upside down. Ye Jian held up the flashlight and tilted his head, looking puzzled. "Has another cleanup team been here?"
Because this search method is very similar to his, it is very rough and directly overturns the bed.
"How is that possible? The system will assign us work after the cleaning team has been here." Su Qingyun also walked in. She rejected Ye Jian's suggestion and began to search the room, although it seemed that there was nothing to search in this room.
Xu Xinghe took out his coat from the space again and put it on Su Qingyun. Although it was just a short search, it was so cold here that it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as an ice cave.
The work clothes of the three of them were very thin.
Fortunately, Xu Xinghe had clothes in his space, because the room was really cold. Su Qingyun even saw ice flowers on the wall while searching.
But this kind of cold is not like physical cold, but a cold that goes deep into the heart.
"Yin energy." Ye Jian uttered the word slowly.
"Yin Qi? Are you saying that the temperature here isn't actually that low, but it's the Yin Qi that's causing frost on the wall?"
Ye Jian smiled slightly and predicted, "There will definitely be a ghost coming out here soon, but I don't know what kind of ghost it will be this time."
Su Qingyun wrapped her coat tightly around her and subconsciously stepped back. Although she was no longer afraid of the ghosts that appeared in the copy, she was not very happy to be frightened out of the blue.
Xu Xinghe carefully protected Su Qingyun and looked around vigilantly.
Knowing that there is a ghost but not knowing when it will appear is more torturous than being killed directly in the face.
"Ding!" The lights on the three people's shoulder straps went out.
"Here it comes." Ye Jian gave a warning.
Su Qingyun looked around vigilantly, but she didn't sense any strange aura around her.
She looked at her watch. It was 9:43 in the evening. This was not the time for strange activities if the scene copy followed the copy rules.
There was a soft "bang" sound, and Ye Jian's voice sounded again in the darkness, "One o'clock."
Su Qingyun listened carefully and indeed heard a faint sound at one o'clock. She became nervous for no reason because she was worried that it was a mouse. She was afraid of mice.
"Don't be afraid." Xu Xinghe's voice sounded beside her.
She instinctively wanted to look at Xu Xinghe beside her, but she found it difficult to twist her neck.
After waiting for a few minutes and seeing nothing unusual happening around him, Su Qingyun felt a burst of cold sweat on his forehead, which he wiped away with his palm.
She tapped the light on her shoulder strap, hoping it would light up, but it didn't.
The surroundings were still dark. This time, Su Qingyun felt it clearly. There was a chill coming from above her head. Not only was there a cold wind, but there was also the sound of dripping water.
"Xu Xinghe." Su Qingyun called Xu Xinghe's name softly.
Xu Xinghe immediately took out a flashlight from the space and handed it to Su Qingyun.
Su Qingyun turned on the light and looked up.
Slowly, a woman in a white gauze dress appeared with her hair hanging down against the ceiling. She opened her mouth wide, and the unknown liquid was the blood flowing from the corner of her mouth.
The sudden appearance of the female ghost made the three people step back at the same time.
At this time, something even more terrifying happened. The woman on the ceiling began to laugh. She opened her mouth wide and rotated her head 360 degrees in a very strange posture.
"Have you seen my cosmetics?" the woman said in a creepy tone.
cosmetic?
A possibility flashed through Su Qingyun's mind, that this female ghost was the top star of this nightclub.
Will it be Lisa?
