Dong Xie looked at the dusty bookshelf and found that most of them were thread-bound books.
""Notes of Yuewei Thatched Cottage"..."The Scholars"..."Old Can's Travels"..."A Dream of Red Mansions"?"
It is worth mentioning that.
After taking out "A Dream of Red Mansions", Dong Xie discovered that there was no mention of Cao Xueqin on the cover.
"The author of "Dream of Red Mansions" is Cao Xueqin, which was verified by later generations." Li Yin searched for the other books on the shelf, "We have to find other key clues to the way of survival."
Looking at Li Yin's steady expression, Dong Xie admired him even more. Under this situation, the senior was still a stable one. Compared with him, he was still far behind.
"Um?"
Li Yin pulled out a book.
This book is not a thread-bound book, but a book written during the Republic of China period.
The title of this book is "The Gengzi Incident".
Li Yin immediately opened the book.
Judging from the table of contents, this book covers the beginning of the Boxer Rebellion, the Eight-Power Allied Forces' invasion of the capital, and the signing of the "Xinchou Treaty".
Li Yin quickly flipped through the book.
Sudden……
His hand stopped.
"This is... a photo of Li Jianfu and the Eight-Power Allied Forces negotiating peace?"
However, in the photo published in the book, all the negotiators sent by the Eight-Nation Allied Forces had their faces cut off.
"Who is Li Jianfu?" Dong Xie looked at the photo and asked, "This person looks more like Li Hong..."
"That's him, Jianfu is his name (to prevent river crabs)."
"oh……"
Li Yin recalled that when he and Mizhen watched the trailer of "The Mark of History", Mizhen had a strange reaction.
"'She' has a strong hatred for the Eight-Nation Allied Forces..."
"Could it be that...'she' is Cixi?" Dong Xie didn't think the joke was funny.
"As a Chinese, it is normal to hate foreign invaders." Li Yin pointed to the negotiator whose head was gouged out and said: "Until the Anti-Japanese War, the Nationalist Government was still paying the Gengzi Indemnity, including to Japan."
"Isn't it?" When Dong Xie said this, he felt something was wrong: "If I remember correctly, it was written in "Black Thorns" that the Bai family also does business with Westerners?"
He then explained the origin of this book to Li Yin in detail.
"This is not surprising." Li Yin continued to flip through the book: "What the Bai family does is to absorb human souls."
Dong Xie thought to himself that if "she" only harmed the foreign devils, then that would be it. But the Bai family was also not merciless to the Chinese people.
Li Yin turned to the back and found that as long as there were pictures of Westerners, their heads would be gouged out.
Without exception.
Even photos of foreign expatriates are no exception.
"Wait a minute..." Dong Xie began to feel something was wrong: "Then why did you let Ninety-nine Green become the guest of the Bai family?"
The Eight-Nation Alliance also included Japan!
"She" should also hate Ninety-nine Greens very much, right?
"Maybe it's intentional. It's obviously just a nice way of saying "Ke Qing". In fact, he is no different from a domestic slave." Li Yin turned to the end and said, "Is this some kind of clue..."
Dong Xie immediately said: "If the Beishan family ever had transactions with the Baifu, then?"
The ancestor of Kitayama Keiryu was once a Japanese soldier in World War II. According to the information obtained at the Kitayama family shrine, he fled back to Japan when he was originally going to be stationed in the Pacific battlefield because he was afraid of the war.
"'She' should hate the Beishan family soldiers to the core, right? After all, they are all Japanese soldiers who invaded the country." Dong Xie then began to feel horrified when he thought about it: "Could the subsequent supernatural curse of the Beishan family be caused by 'she'?
Contribute to it?”
"If that's the case..."
Li Yin began to understand something.
"Midori went to Kitayama's house later, maybe because he wanted to recycle the doll. But he was brought to this place by the curse!"
"Fuck!" Dong Xie said bitterly: "If you have this ability, why didn't you use it to deal with the Japanese? As a result, the curse left by the Bai family killed so many people! It also opened the entrance to hell..."
The book has turned to the last page.
Li Yin and Dong Xie were both stunned!
Because that last page is filled with words written in blood.
They all have the same word... "Mother"!
The words penetrated the back of the paper and made people's hair stand on end.
"if……"
Is this what "she" wrote?
"Mother"..."her"...mother?
Li Yin glanced at Dong Xie and said, "It seems that the apartment makes sense to scare us away. There are indeed important clues on the first floor."
"'She' wrote so many words...are they all talking about her mother?"
Li Yin realized something.
"The Eight-Nation Allied Forces committed too many heinous crimes. If the White House was also looted by them, and at the same time, the old lady of the Bai family was killed before she could escape..."
"The Bai family has such terrifying abilities. Why should they be afraid of the Eight-Nation Alliance?"
"The premise is that...the Bai family had such ability before that. What if the Bai family became like that later, after the Gengzi Incident?"
Over there……
after???
Because of hatred for the Eight-Nation Allied Forces...
After the old lady of the Bai family passed away, her daughter, Mrs. Bai, possessed demonic power and became a "she" who cannot even be mentioned by name.
And "she" harbors hatred for the Eight-Nation Allied Forces, and becomes the spokesperson of the devil, making deals with humans, absorbing souls for the devil, and opening the entrance to hell...
"I always feel that something is not right... Is this really the case?" Dong Xie looked at the book again and said: "The Kingdom of God plan conceived by Li Ruochu cannot really allow 'her' to successfully take revenge."
They continued to search the study, hoping to find some more valuable clues.
"But if that's the case..."
Li Yin thought of another question.
“What is ingratitude?”
The invasion of the Eight-Power Allied Forces does not sound like it has anything to do with ingratitude.
Does the so-called ungratefulness mean that there is a traitor in the government who leads the way?
"If such a person really exists, it shouldn't be difficult to kill him if he comes to the Bai family in the future, right?" Dong Xie continued to look through the books, "Besides, I have a strange intuition that it's not that simple."
Li Yin began to have a vague understanding of "her".
This is a resentful spirit full of hatred.
He did not hesitate to drag in countless innocent lives to be buried with him.
"Madam! Madam is having a difficult delivery!"
Suddenly, Dong Xie heard such a voice coming from outside the study.
"What now? Where can I find a midwife?"
"The foreigners won't call here, right?"
"My master has dealings with British businessmen, they won't come in!"
"It's not good! It's not good! The foreigners are coming! The foreigners are coming!"
