Chapter 59
Chapter 59 Inheritance
After a simple breakfast, everyone dispersed in the restaurant.
This time, Wang Tianxin, who lost his girlfriend, didn't mean to go out, and wanted to go back to his room with a shy expression. Someone asked him rudely and said, "Wang Tianxin, are you planning to stay in the house and not go out?"
Wang Tianxin was suddenly questioned. Although he looked a little embarrassed, his attitude was very firm: "Yes, I'm not feeling well, and I don't want to go out today."
The person who asked him sneered: "I'm afraid you will feel uncomfortable for the next few days."
Wang Tianxin became angry: "It's none of your business, so what if I'm not feeling well, it's not comfortable for you to accompany me if you have the ability!"
This is very shameless, and everyone shows contempt at him after hearing it.
Except for the two newcomers, most of the people here are people who have passed through several doors, and they have also encountered extremely passive participants like Wang Tianxin.
This kind of person will not take the initiative to find clues. All he thinks about is how to save his life. He has no team value at all, and is purely a burden.
Ruan Nanzhu glanced at Wang Tianxin, said nothing, and left with Lin Qiushi.
After leaving the hotel, Ruan Nanzhu said calmly: "According to my previous temper, people like Wang Tianxin don't want to leave here alive."
Lin Qiushi: "Didn't you say you can't kill people inside the door?"
Ruan Nanzhu smiled but not smiled: "I am a law-abiding citizen, how can I kill people, there are so many ways to let people die, why should I do it myself."
Indeed, the world inside the door is inherently dangerous, as if human life has become the most worthless object.
Ruan Nanzhu: "Once there are two or three people like him, it is easy to destroy them."
Lin Qiushi: "How do you say?"
Ruan Nanzhu: "Think about it, people are always comparing each other. You are trying hard to find clues, but someone is hiding in the room and doing nothing. Can you balance your heart?"
Lin Qiushi: "It's also..."
Ruan Nanzhu did not continue the topic, but his expression was very obvious. As long as Wang Tianxin dared to toss out any more moths, he was afraid that he would really not be able to get out of this door.
Today, they plan to go to the families with children in the town to have a look. Although Dong Tianwei in the team said that those families will not let them look after the children, Lin Qiushi always feels that these children may be the key clues to the breakthrough. He and Ruan Nanzhu passed through the town and arrived in front of a row of two-story buildings that looked very dilapidated.
The walls painted on these buildings have almost fallen off, and the traces of rain erosion can be vaguely seen in the corners of the walls, the doors are locked, and the small yard is separated from the outside world by barbed wire, which is covered with dense weeds - said To be honest, if it weren't for the lights in the house, this place really doesn't look like a place where people live.
However, the styles of these rows of buildings are very similar, and they all have an atmosphere of no strangers.
Lin Qiushi asked Dong Tianwei about the situation of these families in detail in the morning. Dong Tianwei's answer was: Although they entered these houses smoothly at the time, they did not see any children at all. The attitudes of these families were very indifferent, asking nothing. Reply.
Lin Qiushi said, "Have you checked the room?"
Dong Tianwei: "I checked, but I didn't gain anything. There are no children in it anyway."
Lin Qiushi understood.
Just when Lin Qiushi was thinking, Ruan Nanzhu had already rang the doorbell.
After the crisp doorbell rang, the old door in the house creaked softly, and an old lady showed a gloomy face from the other side of the door. She looked around with cloudy eyes and saw Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nan standing at the door. candle.
Lin Qiushi originally thought she would ask them what they were here for, but who knew that the old lady didn't say anything, she walked in front of them and opened the door, then turned around and went back to the house. convenient appearance.
Ruan Nanzhu: "Old man." He called out, but the old lady didn't pay attention at all, as if she couldn't hear anything, she had to go back to the house.
Since she didn't want to talk, Lin Qiushi and the others didn't force it.
Before entering the house, they checked the small yard in front of them and found no useful clues. Ruan Nanzhu and Lin Qiushi said: "The information given to us by the town is that there is a seven-year-old girl in this family who has not disappeared yet. If the information from the mayor is correct, there must be a child here, but the family has hidden."
Lin Qiushi nodded, and Dong Tianwei also said this.
"So, let's look for it." Ruan Nanzhu pushed open the wooden door in front of him, and the two entered the house.
The room was messy, and all kinds of strange things filled the whole room. The old lady who opened the door for them just now sat on a rocking chair, looking drowsy. The whole room was lit dimly and outdated by the faint glow of a small light bulb overhead.
"Let's find them separately, and call if something happens." Ruan Nanzhu whispered to Lin Qiushi, "You don't have to be too scruples at critical times." .
Lin Qiushi nodded, pointed to the second floor, and then typed: I'll go to the second floor to see.
Ruan Nanzhu hummed.
When Lin Qiushi said he was going to the second floor to take a look, the old lady raised her eyes and glanced at him. Although this movement was very subtle, it was still captured by Lin Qiushi. He knew something in his heart, and felt that the child should have been hidden on the second floor.
Crossing the long stairs, Lin Qiushi went upstairs.
The second floor should be the master's bedroom and study, the same old, but at least there are no messes downstairs.
Lin Qiushi checked room by room, but found no trace of the child. He even checked the wardrobe and under the bed, but found nothing.
The house is so big, where can a living person hide?
Lin Qiushi really couldn't understand.
Just when Lin Qiushi was in doubt, his keen hearing caught an unusual sound.
The sound was a bit like fingernails scratching on wood, very subtle, but Lin Qiushi was sure that he heard it. He raised his eyes, looked around, and quickly found the source of the sound... it was the corner of the room.
Lin Qiushi looked over and saw a wooden box about half a meter in the corner. Given the size of this wooden box, there must be no room for a person, perhaps there is a secret passage in the box.
Lin Qiushi thought so, bent down to check, and determined that the wooden box was the source of the sound, but there was a copper lock hanging on the wooden box. Lin Qiushi thought about it and decided to call Ruan Nanzhu downstairs and let him The lock is open.
"Is there a voice here?" Ruan Nanzhu asked Lin Qiushi.
Lin Qiushi typed and showed him: Yes, there should be a secret passage here.
Ruan Nanzhu: "Okay." He squatted down and started to unlock.
This lock is not complicated, but Ruan Nanzhu opened it in a moment, but at the moment when the lock was opened, Lin Qiushi suddenly widened his eyes - he saw the scene inside the box.
"Ah...ah..." The child whose body was broken and trapped in the box in a twisted posture let out a faint snoring, her body was almost completely twisted, and the box was stuffed abruptly in front of her. It's hard to imagine her still alive.
Seeing this scene, Ruan Nanzhu frowned.
Lin Qiushi was about to step forward to get the child out, but Ruan Nanzhu reached out and stopped him: "No need, she is already dead."
Lin Qiushi: "What...but...she..."
Ruan Nanzhu: "Look at her neck."
Lin Qiushi took a look and found that the child's neck was folded almost 90 degrees. It is absolutely impossible for a normal person to be folded like this. This is impossible outside the door, but inside the door, it is possible because she is no longer alive. The child in front of him raised his black eyes, looked at Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nanzhu resentfully, his pale lips murmured incomprehensible words, as if he was cursing something.
Lin Qiushi cursed in a low voice.
"The way they hide their children is really incomprehensible." Ruan Nanzhu was talking when a roar suddenly came from behind.
Lin Qiushi turned his head and saw that the old woman who was sitting on the first floor appeared outside the door at some point. She saw Ruan Nanzhu and Lin Qiushi open the box, screamed angrily, and rushed towards them.
After Lin Qiushi dodged nimbly, he found that the old woman actually had a knife in her handββ
"Go!" Ruan Nanzhu called out and planned to leave. Lin Qiushi followed him and ran towards the stairs. The two hurried downstairs and left the yard. They thought that the old woman would chase after him, but they didn't expect the silence in the room. Quietly.
"She didn't come out?" Lin Qiushi gasped, looking a little stunned at the wide-open door.
"It doesn't seem to be." Ruan Nanzhu was also looking at it. After confirming that no one was chasing after him, he said strangely, "How about I go back and have a look?"
Lin Qiushi: "...Do you really want to go back and watch?"
Ruan Nanzhu: "You stay here, I'll go back and take a look."
Lin Qiushi thought for a while: "Forget it, let's stay together. If something happens, we can take care of it."
Ruan Nanzhu said: "Okay."
So the two people who ran out went back to the house. This time they were very careful. They first carefully observed outside the door to make sure that the old woman was gone before entering again.
The two climbed the stairs cautiously to the second floor. As soon as Lin Qiushi reached the entrance of the stairs, he heard an unpleasant sound... The sound was clear and crisp, a bit like the sound of broken bones.
Ruan Nanzhu glanced at Lin Qiushi, obviously he heard it too.
The two walked towards the room just now, and after reaching the door, they saw clearly what was happening inside.
The old lady was caught by a pair of hands, the hands were sticking out from the box, slender and slender, with pale skin, wrapped around the old lady like a snake, then grabbed the old lady's body and started dragging it into the box.
The box, which was originally small, was already full, but because of the strength of the hands, the old lady was forced into half of her body. Her bones were obviously broken, and her body twisted and twitched in an abnormal posture... No life.
This scene was too terrifying, Lin Qiushi saw a layer of white sweat on his arms.
"What should I do?" Lin Qiushi asked Ruan Nanzhu.
Ruan Nanzhu was silent for a moment, then lit a cigarette: "Let's go to another home."
Lin Qiushi: "Well..."
The two tacitly closed the wooden door in front of them and turned to leave.
"Is that girl stuffed by the old man? Is she afraid that she will be taken away by the noodle man?" On the way, Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nanzhu discussed.
"It should be." Ruan Nanzhu said.
This is very strange. It stands to reason that family members should protect the existence of children, but in order to "protect" these children, they even put them in that small box and let them die tragically. Even so, they don't want to watch the child be taken away by the noodle man.
"Hey, why is that person's back so familiar?" Just as the two of them were walking to the remaining houses, Lin Qiushi saw a familiar back, he carefully identified it for a while, and was surprised: "This is not Wang Tianxin's. Missing female companion??"
Ruan Nanzhu looked at it: "It's really her."
The two stood on the side of the road and saw the girl named Liu Ya passed through a remote path in the town and walked into the desolate jungle. Her expression was indifferent, not at all like the cowardice in Lin Qiushi's memory. please.
"Follow me?" Ruan Nanzhu suggested.
Lin Qiushi nodded.
Then the two followed behind Liu Ya, wanting to see where she was going.
Liu Ya walked all the way, and quickly left the town and walked into the desolate bushes. The bushes were surrounded by fog, and only the path in front of them was clear.
"Will she go out of the world following her like this?" Lin Qiushi asked Ruan Nanzhu in a low voice.
Ruan Nanzhu: "Probably not, her current state is very wrong... I think she should not be human anymore."
Lin Qiushi pursed her lips. In fact, they knew that when Liu Ya left with Lauren's sister yesterday, they felt that this girl was more fortunate than fortunate. After all, it is the world inside the door at this time, even if you see a person, it is not necessarily a "human".
Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nanzhu were afraid that Liu Ya would find out and did not dare to follow too close. Through the fog, Ruan Nanzhu saw Liu Ya's footsteps stop, and he stretched out his hand to hold Lin Qiushi to signal Lin Qiushi to stop.
At this point they came to a ruin that was once part of the town, but is now abandoned. There were wrecks of buildings and overgrown grass everywhere, and it looked eerily desolate.
Liu Ya stood quietly in the depths of the ruins, as if waiting for something.
Lin Qiushi heard a rustling sound in the thick fog, as if something was walking inside.
Ruan Nanzhu and him squatted behind a piece of ruins, they held their breath and dared not make a sound.
Soon, a dark figure came out from the depths of the thick fog.
It was a tall man, wearing a black suit and a tall top hat. He had no facial features, his face was white, his hands and feet were slender, twisting like a snake. He slowly walked in front of Liu Ya, stopped.
Liu Ya silently stared at the person in front of her.
Then, the noodle man made a move that Lin Qiushi didn't expect. He stretched out his hand, grabbed his top hat, and began to want to take it off.
However, the hat seemed to be stuck to his head... Lin Qiushi even heard a sound like the tearing of silk the slender ghost actually tore off his own skin with the hat.
This picture looked too painful, and Lin Qiushi felt that it was really uncomfortable to watch.
Ruan Nanzhu gently held Lin Qiushi's wrist to soothe his emotions.
Lin Qiushi wanted to say that he was fine, but was afraid of making a sound, so he could only give up.
After tore off the hat abruptly, the slender ghost handed the hat to Liu Ya.
Liu Ya took the top hat stained with blood with a solemn expression, stroked it gently for a moment, and then put the top hat on her head.
Then, her body began to undergo a strange change.
The body shape began to rise, the hands and feet became slender, the skin became paler, and the facial features began to disappear... All in all, Liu Ya was changing towards the appearance of a slender ghost.
With Liu Ya's change, the original slender ghost made a sharp cry. He opened his mouth, revealing a blood-red mouth and fine teeth... To be honest, Lin Qiushi was the first time he saw a slender ghost. Shadow opened his mouth.
The original slender ghost began to become shorter, and the body seemed to be drained, getting shorter and more shriveled.
In the end, it turned directly into a piece of human skin, and the flesh and blood seemed to evaporate.
Liu Ya has completely turned into a slender ghost. Her clothes were torn due to the changes in her body, so she bent down, picked up the suits that fell on the ground, put them on one by one, and then helped her own. The top hat, after making a weird laugh, reached out and picked up the shriveled human skin.
Lin Qiushi watched helplessly as the new, slender ghost shoved the shriveled human skin into his mouth, and then swallowed it.
This scene was supposed to be very disgusting and terrifying, but Lin Qiushi's attention was focused on other things - he clearly saw that the human skin seemed to be wrapped in a metal-like thing, although Lin Qiushi wanted to deceive himself. , but he was very sure that he saw what that metal was... Yes, it was the key to get out of this door.
The key to this door is actually in the body of the slender ghost.
For a while, the atmosphere between Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nanzhu became heavy.
Liu Ya ate his predecessor's human skin, showing a look of satisfaction, then turned around and disappeared into the thick fog, watching his leaving back, Lin Qiushi and Ruan Nanzhu tacitly did not speak, but turned and left, It was not until he returned to the town that he let out the breath he was holding back.
Ruan Nanzhu looked beside him with a deep expression: "Did you see it?"
Lin Qiushi: "I see."
Ruan Nanzhu: "It's very long..."
Lin Qiushi's expression was stagnant: "What's so long?" Hands and feet?
Ruan Nanzhu smiled and said nothing.
Lin Qiushi sensed a sense of teasing from his smile, and finally realized what part of Ruan Nanzhu's long sentence was referring to, and his face twisted: "...Did you look so carefully?"
Ruan Nanzhu: "Actually, I don't want to, because my eyesight is too good."
Lin Qiushi: "Are you wronged?"
Ruan Nanzhu: "It's okay."
Very good, very good, after their perverted follow-up, they finally determined that the gender of the slender ghost is male, or is a male with a standard or even long body, their harvest is really great... Lin Qiushi is so sad thinking.
"It seems that they all have a unified model for turning into slender ghosts." Ruan Nanzhu finished joking and started to get down to business. "The hat is the pass."
Lin Qiushi: "What about the key?"
Ruan Nanzhu: "Two ways, one, let's go to the slender ghost and cut the key out of his stomach."
Lin Qiushi: "I'd better choose the second." He didn't think that his combat power could handle that thing. In fact, even if Ruan Nanzhu was added, he felt that it was very difficult.
Ruan Nanzhu: "Second, do it while they exchange."
Lin Qiushi was lost in thought.
Ruan Nanzhu: "I guess that hat is very important, so when the first ghost took off his hat, we started to interrupt their inheritance."
Lin Qiushi: "It makes sense."
The reason is reasonable, but how to interrupt it is indeed a problem, and the worse thing is that once the interrupt fails, they will probably have to be cold on the spot. That lanky ghost doesn't look like a good-natured character.
"This matter doesn't have to be done by the two of us." Ruan Nanzhu said, "Although clues are important, life is more important. We can tell everyone about this, and then we can all come together."
Lin Qiushi thinks it makes sense. After all, there are more people and more power, and more people have more ways to do it, but the problem also exists: "What if they don't want to?"
Ruan Nanzhu: "No..." He sneered, "If you don't, just wait to die." He smiled and looked at Lin Qiushi and said seriously, "I promise they will die before us."
Lin Qiushi felt that Ruan Nanzhu was not joking.
The two of them had been running around for a day, and now they were a little tired, so they planned to go back to the hotel to rest.
When passing by the square, Lin Qiushi found that the missing person notice he posted yesterday appeared on the notice board again, but this time there was one more.
Lin Qiushi saw the photo posted on it a lot, it was the girl who was forcibly stuffed into the box by her parents.
"It always feels like we are like disaster stars." Lin Qiushi said casually, "The children who have talked with us will be unfortunate."
Ruan Nanzhu listened to his words and said, "Maybe it is."
Lin Qiushi: "Huh? What do you mean?"
Ruan Nanzhu said: "It means that we are actually the accomplices of the Slender Ghost. Not only do we have to become that thing, but we have to find a child for him."
Lin Qiushi: "..." He actually felt that what Ruan Nanzhu said made sense.
However, Lin Qiushi always felt that he seemed to have forgotten something, but he couldn't remember it. He pursed his lips and looked frowning.
"What's wrong?" Ruan Nanzhu asked him.
Lin Qiushi: "...I feel like I've overlooked something." This feeling is very strange, as if he didn't remember it for a while, but his intuition kept reminding him.
Ruan Nanzhu: "No hurry, think about it slowly."
Lin Qiushi nodded.
The two returned to the hotel and ate something casually.
Lin Qiushi originally thought that Ruan Nanzhu would tell everyone about it directly, but he didn't expect him to mention it at all.
Facing Lin Qiushi's doubts, Ruan Nanzhu's explanation made sense, he said, "Let's talk about it when we're sure we're going to get the key. After all, some people here may become that thing, so don't tell the enemy clues. ."
Lin Qiushi: "Yes."
Sitting by the window, he looked towards the distant scenery, and suddenly his heart was blessed: "I remember it!!"
Ruan Nanzhu: "What?"
Lin Qiushi: "I remembered something I overlooked - do you remember how many times I said I saw slender ghosts?"
Ruan Nanzhu nodded to indicate that he remembered.
Lin Qiushi said: "But the slender ghosts I saw didn't wear hats."
Ruan Nanzhu frowned.
Lin Qiushi said incredulously: "Could it be that there are actually two slender ghosts in this town?"
Ruan Nanzhu's eyes were dark and his voice was a little low: "It's very possible."
If that's the case, it's even worse.
