Following Lin Cheng's guidance, the road became more and more remote.
No one can receive signals on their mobile phones. At this time, the role of the walkie-talkie is fully demonstrated.
Because there is no way to perform GPS positioning here, we can only roughly infer the current location from the map.
"It should be in this area, but..."
Ning Zhihe smiled bitterly. In front of him was a map of southeastern China. Some smaller counties could not be found on it, let alone some villages.
From the city of SH, which was originally economically developed in the coastal area, it began to penetrate further into the inland areas.
"Where will Lin Cheng take us?" Sun Lu looked at the scenery outside the window and said worriedly: "The ghosts haven't come out these days... but I feel even more confused."
"Be mentally prepared." Dong Xie said unhurriedly: "This will definitely be a tough battle."
"Captain," Fang Tianze asked, "based on your understanding of Lin Cheng, is it possible that he intentionally harmed us?"
"What do you mean?" Dong Xie asked puzzledly.
"For example, some cult sacrifices...give us as sacrifices to the devil, and then in exchange for..."
Sun Lu was stunned for a moment and said, "This seems really possible! That's why he asked you to leave before!"
Dong Xie shook his head without hesitation: "Lin Cheng is not this kind of person!"
At this time, Gao Xiang, who was in charge of driving, said: "Are you sure? You haven't seen each other for ten years. Ten years... is enough to completely change a person. Now he is the boss of Meida Group... and he was the same back then.
, it’s no longer the same.”
But Dong Xie still shook his head: "It's impossible... If it would harm us, he wouldn't have entrusted me to do it!"
Even though he said that, Dong Xie himself felt...
He didn't mean what he said.
Lin Cheng hid too many things from him.
It would be great if Ziyi was here now.
If she were here... I could ask her for her opinion.
"I want to put forward an opinion." Suddenly, Ning Zhihe, who had been listening silently, said: "Are these two people, Lin Cheng and Qi Yuxuan, really alive? Or, are they really Lin Cheng and Qi Yuxuan?"
When Dong Xie heard this bold hypothesis, he suddenly took a breath of cold air.
"You said they are... ghosts?"
Ning Zhihe recalled his first Scarlet Mission: "My Scarlet Mission was to work in a restaurant for a day. That night, a couple booked a dinner party, and the husband celebrated his wife's birthday. Finally,
It was Zhiyuan who discovered that the wife had died a long time ago, and the husband even knew that his wife was a ghost and deliberately brought her to celebrate her birthday..."
Gao Xiang nodded and said, "Do you think Lin Cheng is in a similar situation?"
"If I make a bold assumption... maybe both of them are ghosts."
Gao Xiang put forward another hypothesis: "Or... maybe... only Lin Cheng is a ghost. But the apartment deliberately... misled us through Qi Yuxuan's series of behaviors."
Dong Xie raised his hand and grabbed the hair in front of his forehead.
What a mess.
I can't figure it out.
Gao Xiang continued: "Captain, there is actually something I have wanted to say for a long time. However, I am worried that you will resist..."
"Are you worried that I will be emotional because of Lin Cheng?"
Gao Xiang didn't answer, which was equivalent to acquiescence.
Dong Xie looked at the RV in front of him.
"The cult's sacrifice... whether it is a human or a ghost... we will wait until we have the clues. But I promise, no matter whether Lin Cheng is a human or a ghost, as long as he is not good for us, I will not show mercy!"
…
This is the night of the fourth day.
Two RVs were driving in the night, one behind the other.
Just then...
Ahead, a two-story house suddenly appeared!
"That house..." Dong Xie looked at it from a distance and said, "It looks very big, and it is completely out of place with the desolate scene around it."
"Indeed, the architectural style does not look like an ordinary farmhouse, it has a bit of a Western style feel."
Then……
The RV driven by Lin Cheng stopped!
At this moment, everyone's breathing almost stopped.
Gao Xiang also stepped on the brakes.
This is the end of the journey?
Afterwards, everyone got off the car one after another.
Then, they saw that only Lin Cheng got out of the RV, but Qi Yuxuan was missing.
"Yuxuan is sleeping soundly inside now." Lin Cheng walked up and said, "Masters, we have to go in and take a look."
Dong Xie immediately asked: "Is this house yours?"
"No." Lin Cheng shook his head and said, "There may be unclean things in this house."
Dirty stuff?
The five people immediately looked towards the two-story house.
Now it looks like an old two-story house with an area of about 200 square meters.
Dong Xie looked at the house with wide eyes and asked: "You mean this is... a haunted house? A haunted house?"
"I mean it's possible..."
"Then what basis do you have for drawing this conclusion? Or can't you say?"
Dong Xie had become increasingly tired of Lin Cheng's daily riddler way of talking.
Lin Cheng nodded.
"Yes, I can't say."
In this case, what else can anyone say? Obviously, if it weren't for the restriction of the blood letter rule, everyone would have wanted to rush up to him, tie him up, and torture him to force him to find out the truth.
"While Yuxuan is resting in the car, please ask a master to guard the car, but you must not go to the second floor of the car." Lin Cheng thought for a while, looked at Dong Xie, and said, "Master Dong, just you."
Which one is more dangerous, staying in the RV to protect Qi Yuxuan or venturing into the suspected haunted house in front of you?
Dong Xie didn't know either.
But there is no doubt that others were immediately unhappy. No one wanted Dong Xie, who had a ghost-like physique, to stay outside. Gao Xiang was the first to object: "Master Dong has the strongest magic power, he should go in with us! Or, I am willing to stay.
Please protect the lady!"
"I have decided. Four masters, follow me."
After Lin Cheng said these words, everyone wanted to go up and give him a good beating.
If Dong Xie stays outside, I'm afraid the consequences will be disastrous!
But... there is no way.
Lin Cheng's words are true to his word. Unless they are not afraid of triggering the shadow curse, the residents can only go in.
Lin Cheng handed the RV key to Dong Xie and whispered: "Please. Unless you judge that Yuxuan is in danger, don't go to the second floor of the RV, and don't..."
"Into her room, right?"
"Yes."
Lin Cheng looked guilty and said, "I'm sorry, Dong Xie, but you are the person I trust most."
…
There is a flowerpot placed at the door of this two-story house.
Lin Cheng walked to the flowerpot and lifted it up. Underneath was a key.
"Sure enough, it's down there..." Lin Cheng immediately picked up the key and inserted it into the keyhole, and then... the door opened.
"How..." Ning Zhihe asked puzzledly: "How do you know the key is here?"
Gao Xiang said: "You can't say it, right?"
Lin Cheng smiled bitterly and said: "Masters, please be considerate..."
Everyone picked up their mobile phones to light up. Lin Cheng saw a light switch and raised his hand to press it...
Indoors, it’s bright!
"Wow……"
"Is there electricity?"
"So someone has always lived here? Is there anyone in there now?"
Dong Xie entered Lin Cheng's RV at this time.
According to Lin Cheng, Qi Yuxuan is sleeping on the second floor.
But he can't go to the second floor now.
He and Qi Yuxuan...the straight-line distance now is maybe only a few meters.
Is she... just sleeping now?
I'm afraid not?
He picked up the walkie-talkie and waited for the person inside to pass on information to him at any time. To be honest, he really wanted to go in. After all, it was possible to get first-hand clues about the route to death.
…
"I don't think anyone lives here. There is dust everywhere..."
Ning Zhihe quickly determined from the spider webs and large amounts of dust in the house that no one had lived here for a long time. However, on the contrary, the furniture was fully equipped.
So, the one who supplies power here...
Is it an apartment?
"Masters," Lin Cheng asked immediately, "have you sensed anything?"
Sensing...the four of them have Mao's sensing abilities!
As long as Gao Xiang was still calm, he said: "Let's go upstairs first... and have a look."
"Okay...okay."
The five people quickly found the location of the stairs.
"Um?"
Just under the stairs, Ning Zhihe saw a gramophone, and in front of the gramophone was an old black and white photo in a frame.
In the photo... is a beautiful woman wearing a cheongsam.
When Lin Cheng saw this photo, he felt that blood began to rush to his brain!
