Yu Hanjiang is a typical activist. As soon as he finished speaking, he took a step forward and opened the door of the ruined temple.
The sound of the old wooden door being pushed open was particularly harsh in the middle of the night.
As the door was pushed open, a gust of wind suddenly swept in from the temple, raising dust all over the place. The yellow paper covered with strange symbols was blown loudly. This strange atmosphere scared Ye Qi's whole body.
Thinking of the scary temples in various movies, Ye Qi couldn't help but trembled: "Is there a ghost here?!"
Shao Qingge looked back at Ye Qi with a half-smile but not a smile: "Xiaoye thinks that the Four of Spades will suddenly turn into a secret room with a supernatural theme? Are all the villagers ghosts? Will there be innocent souls in this temple asking for their lives?"
Ye Qi shrank his neck and said bravely: "I heard that ghosts have no shadows. The villagers have shadows when they walk. They should not be ghosts. However, I am not sure whether there are ghosts in this temple...
Don’t you think these spells are scary? Maybe there is some evil spirit that is cursing the villagers, and the whole village will be born blind?”
Yu Hanjiang said calmly: "Don't scare yourself with random thoughts, these spells are man-made."
Ye Qi was startled: "Yu, Captain Yu, are you sure?"
Yu Hanjiang picked up a talisman from the ground, touched the red lines on it gently with his hand, and said: "The blood on the talisman has not dried yet, it should have been painted on soon." He handed the talisman to Xiao Lou: "Professor Xiao can judge
Is it human blood?”
Xiao Lou took it over, smelled it, and said, "It doesn't look like human blood. It has a strange fishy smell. It should be pig blood or duck blood."
In the middle of the night, in the barren mountains and ridges, with the gloomy wind blowing, the atmosphere was permeable. The messy charms in the ruined temple were flying everywhere, but the two of them could still calmly analyze the blood stains on it - it was so calm that Ye Qi was shocked.
Ye Qi took a deep breath to calm down, came over to look at the talisman, and said: "Painting eyes with animal blood and sticking them in the temple is meant to curse the villagers to become blind, right?"
Xiao Lou nodded: "On the surface, yes."
Yu Hanjiang took two steps forward, suddenly stopped, frowned and looked at the tree next to him - he saw the dry tree swaying tremblingly in the wind, making a tooth-sharp creaking sound, with a few roots
The branches were broken and fell to the ground.
Seeing him frowning and thinking, Xiao Lou couldn't help but step forward and asked softly: "Did Captain Yu discover anything?"
Yu Hanjiang said: "Someone has been here."
He cast his sharp eyes on the ruined temple in front of him, and his voice was calm and cold: "Those who are hiding in the temple, come out."
There was no response in the house.
Yu Hanjiang whispered: "Friend, we don't mean any harm, we just plan to stay in this temple tonight. If we don't offend, why don't we come out and get to know each other, or do you prefer us to break in by force?"
After a while, the sound of footsteps sounded in everyone's ears.
She was a little girl less than 1.4 meters tall, wearing a red hat and a red cloak. Ye Qi couldn't help but ask Xiao Lou in a low voice: "Are there any children in the card world?"
Xiao Lou also found it strange that the little girl was only as tall as his waist and looked like a primary school student. She lowered her head, her whole face buried in a huge red hood, and couldn't see her face clearly.
The voice said: "Brothers, since you want to sleep here, I will find another place. However, this temple is weird, so you should be careful."
She left these words and turned around to leave. Xiao Lou looked at the little girl's back and felt that something was wrong.
Yu Hanjiang suddenly turned around and said, "You set off the Kongming Lantern, right?"
The little girl's steps paused slightly.
Xiao Lou was also stunned, and turned to look at Yu Hanjiang, who gave him a confirming look.
At that time, Xiao Lou temporarily ignored the Kongming Lantern in order to deal with the Tibetan Mastiff that suddenly screamed. After he controlled the Tibetan Mastiff, the Kongming Lantern in the sky had disappeared. Yu Hanjiang often investigated cases and was particularly sensitive to the location of clues. Although he
Although he was in the maze-like Liuxi Village, he still remembered the direction where the Kongming Lantern appeared at a glance - it was to the west.
There was only this mountain to the west. The four of them came all the way and didn't meet any other challengers. They only saw this little girl in the temple.
That's why Yu Hanjiang asked this question.
The little girl did not look back, and there was a hint of innocence in her voice: "Kongming Lantern? I don't know what you are talking about."
Yu Hanjiang said coldly: "The branches of this tree in the temple are broken from top to bottom, and the direction of the wind blowing is from east to west, so the larger branches may have been broken by someone.
"
"When we entered the village, we saw a woman quickly shuttling between the trees. She must have drawn a card that can move with the help of trees. The door of this temple is closed and there is no sign that it has been opened. However, you
In the temple - obviously, you jumped in directly with the help of trees, and accidentally broke the branches of the dead trees."
"The first few levels in the card chamber are very difficult. It is impossible for a child like you to pass the level alone. Therefore, your current form is definitely not your true body. In addition to the flight card, you also drew a form-changing card.
card."
"The transformation card has a cooling time, so you are in a hurry to leave...am I right?"
The little girl fell silent.
Xiao Lou, Ye Qi and Shao Qingge looked at each other in confusion.
Captain Yu is truly worthy of being a police officer. This series of questions left the other party completely unable to refute.
He was able to find so many clues at the scene, and through the traces of broken branches and strict logical reasoning, he analyzed that the little girl in front of him was not her original form, but the girl who knew "Qing Kung Fu" - the other party neither admitted nor denied it.
, obviously Captain Yu was right.
Xiao Lou smiled and said: "Don't worry, we don't mean any harm. You can tell us the clues you found, and we will give you a floor plan of Liuxi Village in exchange. How about that?" He paused and added:
"You just put up the Kongming lanterns on the mountain, but you must not have had time to check the village yet? The floor plan should be helpful to you."
Probably because Xiao Lou's attitude was too gentle, the girl finally took off her hat.
As she took off her hood, her face and body shape also changed instantly - she was a girl with delicate features, a hint of indifference in her expression, a ponytail that reached her shoulders, and wearing casual clothes.
and white sneakers.
She was about 1.65 meters tall, a whole head shorter than Xiao Lou, but her eyes were always calm. She raised her head and looked at Xiao Lou, and said in a cold voice: "Give me the map first, and I will give you some ideas."
Known information.”
Xiao Loudao: "We only drew one map. Do you have any pen and paper? I'll make a copy for you."
The girl threw a white handkerchief over and said, "This handkerchief is very special. You can write on it directly with your hands, and you can enlarge it at any time. The streamers on the Kongming Lantern just now were made of it."
It seemed that this was also created by cards with special functions. Xiao Lou quickly drew a floor plan of Liuxi Village on his handkerchief with his index finger, walked up to her, and handed it to her with a smile: "Can you tell us now? Why are you doing this?
Put up sky lanterns to attract challengers?"
The girl checked the handkerchief, put the map away carefully, and then said: "I found human bones in the temple."
Xiao Lou was shocked: "You mean, the bones of the dead? How many are there?"
The girl said expressionlessly: "There are so many, I dug them out accidentally."
Ye Qi suddenly shuddered: "Holy shit! How come there are bones of the dead? It can't be like killing people and burying corpses like Maplewood High School, right? Is this the Chamber of Spades or the Chamber of Hearts?"
The girl glanced at him and continued to say calmly: "I want to attract the challengers here because of this. I don't know what the human bones appearing in the temple mean, but I guess if you want to pass the 4 of Spades perfectly, except
In addition to avoiding the villagers and finding gems, you may also need to solve the mystery of the blindness of the villagers and the appearance of dead bodies in the temple."
"Why are you digging temples?" Yu Hanjiang asked in a low voice, "Is it to find gems?"
The girl nodded: "After I entered the village, I walked west first and went upstream along the creek. I found the spring and this abandoned temple. This temple was weird. I wanted to try to see if I could find gems. There were only gems in the temple.
There was a house dedicated to a mountain god. There was something wrong with the ground behind the house, so I dug around and found a big pit filled with dead human bones."
Yu Hanjiang asked: "That's why you brought the challenger here, hoping that everyone can solve the mystery?"
The girl said calmly: "I just want to pass the level easily and get out of this secret room alive. If you want to pursue a perfect level, you can try to solve the puzzle." She waved her hand and said, "I'm leaving, everyone can do it yourself."
After saying that, she jumped up and flew to the treetops in the distance.
After jumping several times with the help of trees, the girl quickly disappeared into the night.
Ye Qi couldn't help but said: "This girl is very powerful, just like a master of light kung fu in martial arts novels."
Xiao Lou looked at the direction in which she disappeared, with admiration in his eyes: "It's not easy for this girl to reach the 4 of spades alone. She should have a lot of good cards in her hand, such as the transformation card just now, which turned her into about ten years old.
The little girl is very easy to dispel people’s wariness.”
Shao Qingge touched his chin and said, "Maybe during the financial crisis, she relied on this disguise to escape the criminals."
Yu Hanjiang suddenly said: "Ye Qi's question just now is very critical."
Ye Qi was stunned: "I...what question did I ask?"
Yu Hanjiang repeated: "Is this the secret room of hearts or the secret room of spades?"
Xiao Lou understood and said: "This should be a linked secret room."
Ye Qi's eyes widened: "You mean, Liuxi Village is actually a secret room of spades and hearts?"
Yu Hanjiang nodded: "That's right."
Shao Qingge also agreed: "It makes sense. The financial crisis is the linkage of spades and clubs. Survival also involves the gold coins in the club. Liuxi Village is the linkage of hearts and spades. Survival and solving puzzles at the same time...
It seems that a large number of challengers will be eliminated in the fourth level.”
Xiao Lou thought of the words about the ace of hearts and said: "The elimination rate is above 80%."
Yu Hanjiang also remembered the prompts when entering the secret room, frowned and said: "It is forbidden to kill villagers... There were no such prohibitions in spades 3. Challengers killed free people without punishment. In spades 4, they suddenly stopped killing villagers. I
I thought it was strange at the time. It seemed like this was a ban imposed by Hearts."
In the 4 Hearts secret room, the big suspect will stun the challenger. The 4 Spades secret room is a survival + suspense linkage. The challenger not only has to hide from the villagers and find gems, but also needs to solve the puzzle of bones and spells to pass the level perfectly.
It seems that the elimination rate in the fourth level before entering the main city is quite astonishing.
Yu Hanjiang said simply: "Go to the back of the house and have a look. It's best if you can pass the level perfectly with 4 of spades. If you can't, don't force it."
The four of them walked around the dilapidated building and came to the back of the house.
As the girl said, there is a patch of ground here that is abnormal and the grass grows extremely lush, which is very obvious compared with the surrounding area.
She probably dug a hole here to find gems - and ended up digging a huge hole.
Densely packed human bones were piled in the pit, emitting a cold luster under the moonlight, making people's spines run wild.
Ye Qi and Shao Qingge looked ugly and turned their heads stiffly.
Xiao Lou took a step forward, squatted down and used a branch to pick up the bones in the pit and observed carefully. After a while, Xiao Lou came to the conclusion: "The bones have a similar degree of decay, and the time of death should be more than thirty years ago. It is likely that it happened
What happened? They are all buried here."
Yu Hanjiang roughly counted the number of pelvises: "There are more than forty people."
Shao Qingge only felt his temples pounding: "So many people died, could it be a massacre of the village?" As a man of hearts, he had a splitting headache when he saw murder cases and corpses. With so many bones, he was really intensively terrified.
I was about to get sick, but I just managed to hold on for a breath so I didn't run away.
Yu Hanjiang thought thoughtfully: "The charms in the temple, the buried bones, and everyone's collective blindness. The ancestors of this village must have offended someone, been cursed, or been punished artificially."
Xiao Lou echoed: "Since this is the secret room where hearts and spades are linked, it is more likely to be man-made."
Yu Hanjiang answered: "The murderer may still be in the village."
Xiao Lou nodded: "If we find the murderer, we can solve the reason why the villagers are blind."
Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou looked at each other in tacit understanding.
Shao Qingge and Ye Qi: "..."
They wanted to ask, who am I? Where am I? What should I do?
Shao Qingge decided to give up thinking and go to look at the moon.
Ye Qi actively joined the discussion: "The weirdest thing about this secret room is that we can't contact the suspect, let alone interrogate. We have to hide from the villagers all the time. How can we know what happened thirty years ago?
?”
"The investigation will be difficult, but it is not without clues. The murderer will definitely reveal his clues." Yu Hanjiang stood up after saying that, turned around and walked towards the dilapidated building, saying: "The girl just put off the Kongming Lantern, maybe there will be others.
The challenger walks into this temple, let’s search in the temple first to see if there are any other clues.”
Everyone agreed with Captain Yu's opinion and walked into the temple together.
No one has been to the abandoned ancient temple for a long time. The two arms of the statue enshrined in the temple were cut off and fell to the side and broke into pieces. The colorful paint on the statue has faded due to age.
, the wooden statue is missing a corner here, a layer of skin is peeling off there, and it looks dilapidated.
Yu Hanjiang observed carefully for a moment and said: "This should be a mountain god. Many people have the habit of worshiping the mountain god and praying for the mountain god's protection and good weather in the coming year. The mountain god's statue was destroyed. It seems that the other party has a deep hatred with the villagers of this village."
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside.
The four people turned around and went out alertly, only to see several challengers walking into the temple one after another, with different expressions.
The middle-aged man at the head asked: "Were you the ones who set off the Kongming Lantern just now?"
Xiao Lou shook his head and said with a smile: "We also saw the Kongming Lantern, so we followed the direction to find it."
The man glanced at Xiao Lou suspiciously and asked, "Then what did you find?"
Xiao Lou pointed at the back of the house.
Several people walked over to check, and soon a panicked scream sounded in their ears: "Ah - so many dead people's bones!"
It was a girl's cry, and her mouth was immediately covered by her companion: "Keep your voice down!"
The middle-aged man's voice was also trembling slightly: "What the hell is going on? Which bastard led us into a ruined temple to see these dead people's bones?!"
The woman next to him said nervously: "Let's find a place to spend the night first. This village is full of weirdness, so don't meddle in other people's business!"
The man took a deep breath and said, "That's right. Anyway, the Secret Chamber of Spades requires you to live for seven days to find the gem. It's more important to find the gem."
Several people turned back, looked at Xiao Lou, and said with guarded faces: "You must have found the gem, right?"
Xiao Lou said with a smile: "We have just arrived. We saw the human bone pit behind the house and were wondering whether to continue investigating."
The other party obviously didn't believe what he said, but they couldn't take action directly, so they left with ugly expressions.
Next, challengers came one after another. After checking the village, they came to the mountain. After discovering the human bones in the temple, they all turned around and left. Obviously, most people did not want to meddle in other people's business and just wanted to pass the customs.
However, Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang have no intention of leaving at all, and are still investigating seriously.
Ye Qi asked weakly: "Are we sure we want to sleep in the temple tonight?"
Xiao Lou said optimistically: "Although this house is a bit dilapidated, it can shelter from wind and rain, which is quite good."
Ye Qi: "..."
There are piles of dead human bones behind the house! Is this pretty good? Professor Xiao is too calm.
However, Captain Yu looked at Xiao Lou with approval, and Shao Qingge looked at the moon with an indifferent expression. Ye Qi could only swallow his saliva and said: "Okay... okay... then sleep here."
Following these teammates, Ye Qi felt that he would gradually become abnormal, and maybe he could sleep soundly with a skull on his pillow in the future.
The author has something to say:
Please give me flowers and encouragement.
The fourth level is equivalent to a novice breakthrough mission. Spades and hearts will eliminate a large number of people.
It's quite difficult, but our protagonist will definitely be fine!
