Chapter 633 Disappearance
"The emergence of treachery should not only be a modern thing, it must also have happened in ancient times..."
"In the face of supernatural things, those former goddesses and gods should be the most likely people to come into contact with... similar to our current detectives... they are all more likely to encounter strange things!"
Chu He pushed up his glasses: "If possible, I hope to borrow your books..."
"no problem."
Yue Shan and several people finally walked around to the door, took out the key, and opened the locked door of General Tie.
The door creaked open, the sky was dark, and it looked like a monster inside with teeth and claws.
It is opening its huge mouth and wants to devour all those who come!
Everyone's scalp was numb, but Su Nuan sneered.
Yue Shan led several people to the main hall and introduced them to several people along the way: "This is the main hall of my old house. There is a garden, library, master bedroom, guest bedroom at the back... On both sides are the living quarters for the servants, as well as the kitchen, storehouse……"
When he talked about the library, he trembled unconsciously, thinking of the dark shadow that kept walking down from the heights...
"Don't separate, everyone. Let's spend the night together in the main hall today."
Chu He looked at the old house: "There are no wires installed here. It will be very dangerous at night. Please prepare as much firewood and candles as possible..."
The main hall had been uninhabited for a long time and was covered with a thick layer of dust, but after some cleaning it was barely habitable.
They weren't really here for vacation. They had already made preparations, and it was impossible for any of them to be brave enough to sleep in this ancient house for a night.
"Well, I just forgot to ask Uncle Gouzi to bring some more candles..."
Yue Qin said with some regret: "After dinner is served, we must let him leave as soon as possible, so as not to harm innocent people..."
"It's going to be dark soon, it's a bit dangerous."
Han Bingjie said melancholy: "But I still want to eat hot soup and rice. In ancient times, there was a beheading meal before execution..."
"You can be mute if you can't speak!"
Wu Qi complained, and then pointed to the express delivery in Chu He's hand: "Where... should you put this thing?"
"The mission address is an ancient house...it can be placed anywhere."
Chu He said: "According to past mission experience, there are very critical items in the express delivery... which may be the key to triggering the sneak attack!"
"But there could also be vital clues hidden there."
Yue Shan coughed: "I have an idea. Since the item was delivered here, as the owner of the ancient house, I should have the right to open it..."
"Absolutely not! Do you want to kill us?"
Murong Hong seemed to be stimulated and firmly opposed: "Not to mention the curse that violates the work process...opening the express delivery rashly may immediately stimulate the conspirators and start killing people!"
As an old employee who survived Cao Liuyu's mission, she also had some worries.
"Brother, I know you want to find out the truth right away, but don't risk yourself."
Yue Qin also expressed opposition.
"We have five supernatural objects in our hands, and we can still give it a try, but since everyone is opposed to it, let's forget it..."
Yue Shan gave up his previous idea.
"But the person holding it in his hand is also very likely to be targeted by the trick..."
Chu He said: "So... I'm going to put it in a room and install surveillance."
"Many tricksters have the ability to interfere with signals. Why don't you send someone to guard them?"
Yue Shan questioned.
"A person who is alone can easily be attacked and encounter danger, but if everyone guards together, it becomes a joint effort to fight against the evil spirits..."
Chu He said: "Although we have insurance, there are still people who die in the mission even though we use supernatural items... This decision may kill everyone together!"
"Then... put the express delivery in the back house. We need to eat quickly and maintain our strength."
After everyone reached an agreement, they went to the back garden.
Looking at the overgrown garden and the decaying wooden building, Yue Shan couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
The eyes of him and his sister couldn't help but turn to the master bedroom, which was... the place where the tragedy happened!
"It's better not to put it there, just in the library."
Chu He said: "Yueshan, your home has a lot of books? There is also a two-story library..."
"This is a legacy from my grandfather's grandfather's generation. There are actually not many books left in it..."
Yueshan replied.
"That's such a pity..."
Chu He walked in with the express delivery and walked out not long after with a few thread-bound books: "For evening entertainment... the surveillance has been installed. Now, let's go back to the lobby and wait for the food to be delivered and dark... Others If you have any physical needs, please resolve them as soon as possible.”
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone's expressions were a little strange.
Yue Shan thought of some horror novels in which people were allowed to go to cramped and closed places such as bathrooms and equipped with mirrors, doors and other cunning tools for committing crimes even though they knew there was a ghost. He couldn't help but find it a bit funny.
Is life or face more important?
Anyway, it's just one night, and the women have already prepared diapers. As for the men, they can go out for a while at most, facing the corner with their backs to everyone.
Well, I feel sorry for the Yueshan brothers and sisters, but this old house has long been abandoned...
After several people had taken care of their physiological needs, the group returned to the main hall.
Chu He lit a candle and began to read the thread-bound books he found in the library.
This book is very damaged, the text on the cover is blurred, and there are traces of moth damage.
After opening it, I found a handwritten calendar inside.
He was not disappointed. Instead, he turned over page after page, becoming very interested in the annotations on some dates.
Time passed in minutes and seconds.
It's... getting dark.
The candlelight was mottled, reflecting the shadows of several people, like monsters on the wall.
Han Bingjie stretched, touched his belly, and began to count the shadows on the wall, one, two, three...
The next moment, his pupils tightened and he shouted: "Su Nuan! Where is Su Nuan?!"
Others were horrified and found that the girl with a cold face had disappeared at some point!
"Su Nuan usually dislikes others and likes to stay on the fringes. We just discovered..."
Wu Qi's voice was trembling.
"Maybe she left on her own, or... maybe... the ghosts started to attack, pulling her into an alien space... This ability is called... ghosts hitting the wall!"
Chu He put down the book, his expression slightly solemn.
…
At this time, Blackwater Town.
Uncle Gouzi rode a small three-wheeler all the way to the outside of the Yue family's old house.
"Xiaoshan, Xiaoqin...I'm delivering takeout for you!"
He shouted a few words, but no one responded.
Uncle Gouzi approached with a puzzled look on his face, and then he saw... the door of the mansion was still locked, and the Iron General was always there!
"It's strange... they didn't come."
Uncle Gou Zi walked away in confusion. He did not realize that the ancient house behind him looked slightly hazy in the darkness, like... a phantom!
