Chapter 70 Decryption
"Okay then." Jiang Zhao said, "Be careful."
Jiang Zhao breathed a sigh of relief only after watching Xiang Xingzhi and Chen Bailing leave with the staff. He turned around and saw Yue Liangjie was still there.
She asked, "Aren't you going out with them?"
Yue Liangjie also saw the same doubt in Luo Yan's eyes.
Yue Liangjie: "..."
I should be under the car, not inside it.
Yue Liangjie's neck stiffened: "No, I want to explore too."
Jiang Zhao didn't know why Yue Liangjie was so stubborn even though he was obviously scared to death. She said, "Then you sit at my table?"
Yue Liangjie inexplicably recalled the way Luo Yan held Jiang Zhao's hand just now.
He waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, I can just walk behind by myself."
"All right."
Jiang Zhao always felt that Yue Liangjie was a little jumpy today.
Luo Yan said: "Let's go to the next place."
Yue Liangjie watched as Luo Yan took Jiang Zhao's hand again.
Jiang Zhao was still concerned about whether Luo Yan was frightened just now.
He wanted to tear Jiang Zhao's ears open and yell, "Do you see he looks a little scared?"
In the end, I could only sigh helplessly and follow him.
Maybe because Chen Bailing had just been scared and cried, there was no movement on the way to the next room.
Luo Yan said, "When I went in just now, that female NPC had a scar on her face."
"Ah?" Jiang Zhao asked in surprise, "She's Ji Ying? The headless woman is Ming Rui?"
Jiang Zhao thought for a moment: "She just said that you killed everyone. Was she referring to Ming Rui?"
I'm a little confused.
Luo Yan looked at the girl who was thinking seriously and said, "Don't think about it for now. You may need to find a place to open it with the key."
The last room is also a classroom, empty, but unlike the first room, there is only one desk.
Jiang Zhao thought he would meet Lin Chongyang and Chen Huaiyu.
Or maybe the two of them have already gone out.
Jiang Zhao didn't think much about it.
There was a crumpled piece of paper on the table and a safe underneath.
Jiang Zhao spread out the paper.
It was the security guard's torn diary.
October 12, 2022
"Someone's dead. A girl died! They say she stole someone else's boyfriend and it's karma! What kind of karma in the world would cut off someone's head?"
October 16, 2022
"That man hanged himself. It's definitely suicide. The school is closed. Sigh."
October 17, 2022
"While on night duty today, I saw a figure that looked like it had no head. When I walked over, I realized it was the disfigured girl from earlier burning paper. It seems I've been under too much pressure lately."
October 18, 2022
…
What follows should be his words about not wanting to go to work.
They had already guessed the information in the diary. At most, they knew that Ji Ying had burned paper at school. Now it seemed that what she burned was a talisman.
Jiang Zhao looked at the amulet carefully.
She pulled the drawstring open, revealing a handful of ashes and some paper scraps.
Luo Yan used the key to open the cabinet below.
There was a headless ceramic doll in the cabinet, wearing a white dress with the name written on the back - Ji Ying.
It was obviously a voodoo doll or something like that.
"Wow." Jiang Zhao exclaimed, "Classmate, I would have thought you had read the script."
At the innermost part of the safe, there is a red circle.
Luo Yan squatted down and before putting the last talisman on, he said to Jiang Zhao, "Ready."
There were footsteps outside.
Jiang Zhao laughed and said, "I told you I've been playing hide-and-seek for a long time."
Yue Liangjie was still in shock, and asked, "What are you preparing for?"
Before he finished speaking, Luo Yan had already put the talisman on.
The entire secret room suddenly began to flash, and sharp howls were heard outside, as if all the "ghosts" had come out in an instant.
Luo Yan pulled Jiang Zhao out, Jiang Zhao picked up Yue Liangjie from the ground, and the three of them ran out.
The road closest to the exit was locked at some point, so we had to return the same way we came.
Yue Liangjie couldn't help but look back, and saw a "female ghost" with a face twice as white as the wall chasing after him, giving him a hideous smile.
Yue Liangjie was screaming.
Jiang Zhao laughed.
After walking through the long corridor, they returned to the middle room.
Luo Yan pulled Jiang Zhao, and Jiang Zhao pulled Yue Liangjie.
Yue Liangjie: "I'm going to be strangled to death!!"
At the same time, Chen Huaiyu came out from under the table: "Class representatives, you..."
Before he could finish his words, a "corpse" was hung from the roof.
After Chen Huaiyu separated from the others, he hid under the table. Seeing the room light up, he thought it was over, so he came out and greeted Jiang Zhao and the others.
He heard some movement above his head, and when he looked up, he met eyes with the "corpse" that was sticking out its long tongue, and he almost couldn't breathe.
Jiang Zhao: “…”
No wonder the "ghost" didn't want them to stay in this room.
Unexpectedly, when the players breathed a sigh of relief, there was such a trick.
At this time, Ji Ying was already blocking the door.
"Why isn't it over yet? Didn't the mission already be completed?" Yue Liangjie couldn't stand it anymore. He felt like his voice was hoarse from shouting.
Jiang Zhao reacted and threw the ceramic doll with Ji Ying's name printed on it to the ground. As the doll shattered, the female ghost that Ji Ying had transformed into let out a wail and froze in place.
The glaring light returned to normal.
Several people passed by "Ji Ying" and she didn't react at all.
Yue Liangjie looked back with lingering fear and asked, "How do you know that she won't chase you if you smash that thing?"
Jiang Zhao: "I guessed."
That doll should have been used by Mingrui to curse Ji Ying.
Ji Ying probably prayed for a peace talisman because of Li Zetian's sudden love for someone else, and perhaps even because of Mingrui's curse, so the curse backfired on Mingrui.
The amulet took effect and turned into fragments, so Ji Ying burned the amulet in the middle of the night.
Li Zetian, who was cursed, had no choice but to commit suicide because of the death of the person who cast the curse.
After defeating the two bosses of the haunted house, they walked out of the secret room.
The staff came up and said, "Congratulations on finding all the props."
He handed each of the four of them a small certificate: "This is the background of our story, you can learn about it."
Jiang Zhao flipped through it casually and found that the story was similar to what they had guessed.
She put the certificate away without saying anything.
Chen Bailing and Xiang Xingzhi were waiting outside.
Chen Bailing was obviously more excited: "Zhao Zhao, you guys are awesome."
Jiang Zhao looked around: "Where's the squad leader?"
Xiang Xingzhi: "He didn't come out with you?"
Luo Yan: “I didn’t see it.”
Everyone turned to look at the secret room.
＿＿＿＿＿＿
The moment Lin Chongyang separated from the others, he hid in the metal cabinet in the infirmary.
As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place.
He was sure he had found the safest place.
The screams and howls outside seemed to never stop.
But the cabinet was completely silent, not even the sound of footsteps nearby.
It seemed like everything had nothing to do with him.
Lin Chongyang thought.
He didn't know how long he had been waiting.
The cabinet door suddenly opened.
In the dim light, Lin Chongyang was caught off guard and ran into the "headless female ghost".
According to people who arrived later, there was only a fainted "corpse" left at the scene.
