Chapter three hundred and thirty first puppet show (nineteen)
At this time, although the sewage in the sewer no longer existed, there was still a rotten smell in the air, and I didn't know where this smell came from.
Wu Haotian leaned very carefully on the pile of stones in front of him and observed the situation inside through the gap in the pile of stones. He could only see a candle inside dancing with the wind. There was no accident when the candlelight seemed to be negligible.
I saw other things that weren't quite right.
He slowly closed his eyes and listened carefully to the sounds in the sewer.
"Ta...ta...ta..."
Only the sound of dripping water could be heard coming from somewhere. Even Qin Nan could vaguely hear the sound of water. It seemed that the front was safe.
Wu Haotian slowly walked in towards the door on the right. It could be seen that he was extremely nervous at this time, because the atmosphere really made the two of them feel a little strange.
Qin Nan also walked in. As soon as he entered the gap that was half the height of the door, Qin Nan saw the body of a cat on the ground not far away. The cat seemed to have been dead for a long time, with only
Some unrotten fur and some exposed bones,
It made him feel a little uncomfortable in his stomach. The cat's body was not placed here intentionally by the puppeteer. It should be the explosion that happened a few months ago. Qin Nan still vaguely remembered that he also saw someone there at that time.
Many cats escaped from the casino,
Some were directly buried in the sea of fire.
The two of them looked around with flashlights, and sure enough, they found the bodies of many cats around. Cats can run fast, and their ability to sense danger is much better than other animals.
However, there were about seven or eight cat corpses and skeletons nearby at this time, which proved that the explosion happened very suddenly, but Qin Nan couldn't figure it out, and he didn't know why so many cats appeared in a place like a casino at that time.
"Tick tock, tick tock..."
Qin Nan could hear that they were getting closer and closer to the water source. The two of them walked cautiously. Just when Qin Nan didn't know how to walk, Qin Nan saw a candle not far away in the corridor.
The end of it is dangling.
The two looked at each other, and then slowly walked towards the candle.
Qin Nan looked at the empty houses on the left and right. Mottled blood stains could still be seen inside, which made Qin Nan couldn't help but recall the scene on the day of the explosion.
However, at this time, all the corpses in the casino had been cleaned up by Song Yi and others, and only some unimportant things were left in the ruins. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for there to be corpses or people in the Agate Casino at this time.
Qin Nan and Wu Haotian slowly approached the candle. When they were less than five meters away from the candle, they saw the painting on the candle clearly. The painting was the back of a person, and the person was squatting down.
, I don’t know what I’m doing,
When Qin Nan saw the back of this painting, he couldn't help but frown.
What is painted in this painting is not someone else, let alone an art painting. This is the back of a clown, to be precise, the back of the Clown King who committed suicide not long ago. The same color wig, the same hat, and the same clothes.
After the explosion, it was absolutely impossible for a painting like this to appear here. It should have been hung not long ago.
Qin Nan wiped the frame with his fingers. There was no dust on the frame, which made it even more certain that it had been hung up in the past few days.
He looked at the candle in front of him again. At this time, the candle was only half as high. Based on the current height and burning speed of the candle, it seemed that it had been burning for about ten or twenty minutes.
When they first entered the "door", Qin Nan also noticed the height of the candle at the door, which was almost the same as the height of the candle at this time.
The two of them looked at both sides of the corridor. Just when they didn't know which way to go, Qin Nan noticed an arrow drawn with chalk on the ground on the left.
Then the two of them walked towards the corridor on the left. At this time, a gust of cool wind blew from the back of the corridor, which made the hair on Qin Nan's back stand up. He didn't know why, but he always felt that there seemed to be someone behind him.
Something is following them.
After he turned around and looked over, he unexpectedly found the burning candle, but didn't find anything else suspicious.
He breathed a sigh of relief and followed Wu Haotian. Just as Wu Haotian came to the corner, Wu Haotian's eyes widened and he suddenly took a step back, full of nervousness.
Qin Nan was also very strange about Wu Haotian's reaction. He always felt that he seemed to have seen something extraordinary, or sensed some danger.
Wu Haotian stretched out his arm to ask Qin Nan to retreat as far as possible, signaling him not to move. Then, he leaned against the wall on the left side of the corridor and walked towards the corner little by little.
Qin Nan swallowed nervously, and his legs were shaking slightly for some reason. Although he was an atheist, he was still a little afraid of the unknown dangers in front of him.
Now the atmosphere is already in place, all that's left is the appearance of that thing.
When Wu Haotian walked to the corner, he squinted his eyes and stared at something. After seeing it clearly, he breathed a sigh of relief, but his brows never relaxed and he was still looking at the thing in front of him.
Qin Nan quickly walked up and looked towards his line of sight, only to see a person squatting on the ground not far from the corner.
Qin Nan was also so frightened that he could not help but tremble all over and almost shouted.
Because the squatting "person" is none other than the Clown Emperor in the painting!
"Isn't the Clown King dead? And isn't his body at the police station? Why did he come to this place..." Qin Nan frowned and thought.
Wu Haotian slowly and naturally approached the corpse and walked in front of the "Clown King", then slowly squatted down and looked at the corpse in front of him.
Before Qin Nan could speak, Wu Haotian said softly: "This is not the body of the Clown Emperor, it's just a doll."
"A puppet?!" Qin Nan frowned and hurriedly walked to Wu Haotian's side. He shined his flashlight on the puppet. It was indeed not the Clown King.
Said to be a puppet, in fact, upon closer inspection, it is a mummy. Like the puppets Qin Nan and the others received before, this body is dark red, but this mummy is the size of a normal human body.
Qin Nan looked at the face of the mummy. The face seemed to be covered with white paint, and the lips were painted with red paint, especially the eyes of the mummy.
There is a pair of eyeballs that do not fit the size of the eye sockets. The entire eye sockets are occupied by these two turbid eyeballs, which even look a little protruding.
However, Qin Nan was sure that these were not human eyes, but a pair of bloody bull's eyes.
At this time, Qin Nan noticed that the puppet's bull's eye had not been put in for a long time. It should have happened two or three hours ago, because there was still blood on the eyeball that had not completely dried.
"Look at what the clown is holding..." Wu Haotian said softly.
Qin Nan looked at the clown's right hand. At this time, the clown's hand was holding a white flag. It was said to be a flag, but it was actually a cardboard with an arrow drawn on it pointing forward.
Wu Haotian and Qin Nan turned around and looked back, and sure enough they saw a burning candle at the end of the corridor.
The two looked at each other, and then Wu Haotian turned around and walked to the front. Qin Nan followed closely behind Wu Haotian.
He also glanced back at the corpse of the Clown King from time to time, as if he was afraid that he would suddenly come to life and attack him from behind.
At this time, Qin Nan was also very confused, but now he was sure that the puppeteer must be someone from that organization, otherwise he would not know about the existence of the Clown Emperor. He seemed to gradually know the purpose of the other party. The puppeteer seemed to want to find
They took revenge, so they adopted this method,
And the other party seemed to want to break their defenses from within, but it seemed to work for Wu Haotian. He was not afraid of these things at all, but Qin Nan was a little different. Although he was an atheist,
But he still feels a little scary about these things, and sometimes he even believes them to be true...
