...After waiting for a while, Lin Sanjiu finally walked to the door feeling a little uneasy.
The wind came from nowhere and blew into the living room from under the door. It blew on her legs and stirred up a chill. Listening to the "bang" and "bang" sounds coming from far away, she was determined to
He calmed down and shouted: "Master! Have you appraised my things?"
However, there was still no sound at the other end of the door.
...Have you been deceived?
Lin Sanjiu frowned and thought for a while, then she no longer cared about any rules or regulations and opened the door.
Unexpectedly, there is not a room behind the door.
A corridor covered with bamboo mats was quietly immersed in darkness; two dim lamps hanging from the ceiling swayed back and forth in the wind that came from nowhere. Under the interplay of light and shadow, the corridor looked eerily quiet.
.
Lin Sanjiu stepped out of the living room and walked cautiously into the corridor.
The structure of this private house is very chaotic, as if it was built randomly by a person who does not understand architecture. The living room is like a lantern hanging on a stick, and is only connected by this corridor; and there are no corridors on both sides of the corridor.
There were other rooms, only there seemed to be a vague door at the end - and compared to the living room, the ceiling was surprisingly low, Lin Sanjiu had to push the bone wings down to the extreme, and then stretched them out.
, this can be considered as barely moving in the corridor.
In the constant force of the wind, the door at the end of the corridor was blown open and closed, hitting the door frame, and she finally understood where the sound she heard before came from.
Quickly arriving at the door of the room at the end of the corridor, Lin Sanjiu paused and turned on his consciousness scan.
Although this ability has many limitations; in addition to seeing farther, it also has one of the biggest benefits: with this ability, Lin Sanjiu's sight can "turn" - although it is not a real turn, but only at a certain angle.
Within the range, you can vaguely see behind the corner.
Looking in through the half-open door, the room covered with Japanese tatami is quiet and quiet, with no one around.
She entered the house in a flash and closed the door behind her back.
...I can't tell where this room comes from, it seems a bit weird.
This was Lin Sanjiu's first subconscious feeling.
The floor was stained with brown stains and looked like it had been there for many years; there were a few opened boxes in the corner, empty inside; there was a large wardrobe standing on the left, and directly opposite the door was an open door.
It was through this window that the cold wind poured in. When the wind blew, some white papers on the floor were blown all over the floor - Lin Sanjiu stretched out his hand to grab one, glanced at it, and suddenly felt a little bit...
Surprised.
It was an appraisal certificate for a special item called [Hengjiang Manufacturing Co., Ltd.]. She moved her gaze to the bottom of the page and discovered that the appraiser's name was "Red-haired Old Jack".
She immediately thought of the middle-aged man with bright red hair and a bad temper whom she had only met once.
In this way, he is really an appraiser - Lin Sanjiu picked up a few more pieces of paper from the ground, each of which was an appraisal certificate with exactly the same specifications. Except for the name of each item, they were all the same.
Sent by "Red Haired Old Jack".
After the special item is appraised, the item can be taken away by the original owner, but the appraisal certificate must be kept in the hands of the appraiser to find a buyer. Lin Sanjiu also heard about this from the boy, so it is not surprising why this "
"Red-haired Old Jack" will keep so many appraisal certificates in his hand; but...since the other party is not a liar, doesn't he become a trespasser?
Lin Sanjiu suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He quickly folded the appraisal certificate in his hand and shouted loudly: "Master, are you there?"
With the awareness that she would be scolded by the impatient appraiser, she shouted several times, but there was still no response; she searched back and forth in the corridor, and there was indeed no other room in the house——
In other words, the appraiser and the boy just now really disappeared from this house together with the book "Sad Girl".
"Weird." Lin Sanjiu opened the door and returned to the room just now. She was a little irritated because she couldn't understand the situation: "Is it possible that that book is some kind of rare treasure? When he saw it, he didn't even want his own nest.
Really? These identification certificates are all money."
"It stands to reason that it shouldn't be the case," Teacher Yi replied. "Special items from one place should be of a similar level... There is nothing particularly extraordinary about the other few books."
The cold wind blew in from the window in bursts, which made Lin Sanjiu's mind clearer. She frowned and thought for a while, then walked back and forth in the room, looking back and forth at the few limited pieces of furniture.
When she inadvertently saw the large wardrobe on the other side, her heart suddenly moved, she walked over quickly and opened the wardrobe door.
Red-haired old Jack sat quietly in the closet, just looking into Lin Sanjiu's eyes.
While an exclamation almost leaked out of his throat, Lin Sanjiu took two steps back and finally realized that the red-haired old Jack was no longer alive - he had a rough voice and a look of impatience two hours ago.
The bright red-haired man was as quiet as a puppet at this time, leaning softly against the cabinet. His face was full of wrinkles and scars, and his eyes were wide and round.
Lin Sanjiu stared at the corpse, walked forward gently, and pulled it.
The red-haired old Jack's body was like a hollow bag, and she pulled it down with a thud so easily; his limbs fell to the ground one after another, making several "ta-ta" sounds.
Lin Sanjiu felt that the corpse's limbs felt wrong. When he took a closer look, his scalp was a little numb.
Starting from the back of his head, all the way to his lower back, a long opening was cut smoothly into the skin; when he peeled the skin open along the opening, he found that there was nothing inside - except for some dried and sticky blood and bits of flesh.
Apart from the body, all the bones and internal organs disappeared completely, becoming an empty leather bag, with only one head still intact.
...It looked as if his body had been depleted by something.
"Did someone just kill him?" Lin Sanjiu murmured in surprise: "I didn't hear a single cry for help..."
The corpse was still wrapped in the robe with "Appraiser" written on it, and even the size and location of the stains were exactly the same as in her memory. She thought about it, opened the robe and took a look, and suddenly found that the waist of the corpse had already been stained.
There were a lot of corpse spots scattered all over - even from a close distance, you could still smell a faint stench.
"I have been dead for at least four or five hours." Teacher Yi said with certainty.
Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but feel a little stupid.
