Chapter 223 New Painting, Three Groups Return
The style of the barrage in the live broadcast room suddenly changed.
In the copy.
Charles and Lin Jiu prepared to go upstairs to check.
Lin Jiu arranged for the others to stay in the living room.
No one objected to Lin Jiu's arrangement.
Charles and Lin Jiu quickly arrived at the third floor. All the candles on both sides of the corridor were extinguished, so that the entire third floor was in extreme darkness.
Unfortunately, it was cloudy outside and it was raining heavily.
Charles tensed up involuntarily.
He suddenly thought of the "it" Anna mentioned.
At this time, Lin Jiu reached out and gently patted the back of Charles' hand.
"Don't worry, I'm here." He said softly.
After hearing this, Charles immediately felt much more at ease.
There are not many people who can give you a sense of security with just one sentence.
Charles felt that Lin Jiu's words were even more reassuring than the guns in the hands of his hired bodyguards.
This is the truth.
Charles sighed in his heart for some unknown reason.
Lin Jiu took the lead, perhaps out of some concerns, as he walked in front, he held Charles' wrist with one hand.
Charles did not struggle to break free, and as he moved away from the stairs, his vision darkened almost instantly.
At this time, when everyone goes their separate ways, it is hard not to suspect that something will quietly make the other person disappear.
Anyway, many horror movies in reality follow this pattern.
Lin Jiu and Charles came to the door of Mr. and Mrs. Smith's room. As soon as Lin Jiu, who was walking in front, pushed the door open, Charles frowned and said, "What's that smell?"
The moment the door opened, a pungent smell came out of the room. Lin Jiu's nose was more sensitive than Charles's, so he naturally smelled it.
The stench of corpses was the most obvious, but it was mixed with other smells.
Lin Jiu didn't know whether there was a light in Mr. and Mrs. Smith's room. When he came here before, he could only rely on the light in the corridor to barely see part of the situation inside.
But he still tried to feel around on the wall.
Soon, Lin Jiu found a switch.
He pressed it gently, and a crisp sound was heard, but the light in the room did not light up immediately.
After about two or three seconds, the light, which had not been used for a long time, flashed a few times and then lit up.
The light provided was not as bright as in other rooms, but it was enough for Lin Jiu and Charles to see clearly what was going on inside the room.
Just one word.
chaos.
It was so chaotic that Charles felt sick after seeing the situation inside the house.
I can’t imagine how uncomfortable Christian must have felt after seeing this dirty and messy scene.
Another source of the foul smell in the room was the rotten food. The sheets and quilts that should have been washed were piled up haphazardly aside, as were the clothes.
I can’t imagine that this is the room of a rich family.
If someone who doesn’t know the place comes here, they might think that homeless people used to live here.
Both Charles and Lin Jiu looked a little ugly.
Fortunately, only the area around the bed was dirty, and the rest of the place was fine.
It can be seen that when Mr. and Mrs. Smith stay in the room, their range of activities is fixed.
Lin Jiu scratched his head and took two tentative steps inside.
The pungent and fuming smell made the two of them hold their breath unconsciously.
Lin Jiu and Charles both tacitly avoided the area near the bed. Lin Jiu walked straight to the balcony, while Charles came to the locker.
Lin Jiu came to the floor-to-ceiling window and reached out to pull open the heavy curtains.
But unexpectedly, the windows were blocked by newspapers and clothes.
Lin Jiu frowned slightly and opened the window.
The rain outside was not as heavy, but Lin Jiu still got a few drops of rain.
He didn't close the window. The air outside was always much better than inside the house, so Lin Jiu simply ventilated it this way.
Before turning around and leaving, Lin Jiu glanced down.
At that time, one of Essen and Laura was standing in this position and watching him.
Or something else?
Lin Jiu didn't think much about it, turned around and started searching the room with Charles.
Out of curiosity, Lin Jiu even looked inside the closet to see if there was any hidden space, but unfortunately, after searching the entire room, he found nothing.
Just when Lin Jiu thought that he couldn't find anything in Mr. and Mrs. Smith's room, Charles suddenly called Lin Jiu.
Turning around, I saw that Charles was standing on the shorter locker.
"There's a picture here," Charles said, taking down a picture frame covered with black cloth from the top of the high locker.
painting?
Why is it a painting again?
Lin Jiu walked forward and took the picture frame that Charles handed over.
There was a thick layer of dust on the black cloth above, and it looked like it had been there for a long time.
Charles dusted off his hands and jumped down from the locker.
Lin Jiu put the picture frame on the ground and gently lifted the black cloth.
The size of the picture frame is about the same as the painting on the first floor, but the content inside is much simpler.
An ancient castle was burning with blazing fire, and around the castle were people holding torches as if they were celebrating.
Although everyone's back is pure black, it is not difficult to see that there are people wearing exorcist costumes.
Lin Jiu and Charles looked at each other and realized that the content of this painting was the same as the one on the first floor, both of which were things that happened in this castle in the past.
"Back then, most of the five families were wiped out here..." Charles frowned slightly and spoke slowly.
But if that were true, then this castle would have been a ruin long ago.
Lin Jiu frowned slightly.
"Either this castle has stayed where it was just before the fire, or we've been hallucinating since the moment we arrived here." Lin Jiu said slowly, looking up at Charles, and said a third possibility: "There is another possibility, which is..."
"Our guess was wrong from the start."
........
While Charles and Lin Jiu were analyzing the painting upstairs, Todd and the two newcomers finally came back.
When the gate of the castle was suddenly opened, everyone was startled and stood up to be on guard.
When Ivan saw Todd, who was covered in injuries and held up by two newcomers, he subconsciously wanted to help.
Eugene reached out and stopped Ivan in time.
He frowned and glanced at Eisen and the butler, hesitant, but still chose to exchange secret signals.
At worst, I can find a chance to change it later.
The two newcomers successfully completed the secret code. Todd was a little unconscious and it took him a while to successfully complete the secret code.
The door of the castle was wide open, and the cold wind blew in. The weak Essen couldn't help but shiver twice.
A lot of rain water seeped in, and the sky outside was dark as if the eternal night had swallowed up the entire world. Eugene felt a little uneasy and quickly closed the door.
