Yi Town (5)(2/3)
The footsteps stopped and did not push the door in as they were worried. There was no movement in the corridor for a long time. Qi Tianhe did not dare to go out rashly, for fear that the mayor or the mayor's wife would stand there expressionlessly when she opened the door.
The tip of the white cicada's nose moved: "Scent."
Qi Tianhe smelled it on the two of them, and it didn't smell.
Bai Chan is funny: "The smell of burning incense."
Qi Tianhe shrugged, he didn't smell it anyway.
Bai Chan also popularized the types of incense with him: "This is a very high-quality incense, specially used for worship."
Qi Tianhetou knew that incense could be divided so much.
"In most cases, it is mixed," Bai Chan leaned over her head, as if she could see the outside through the door panel: "It seems that the mayor and his wife are well aware of this."
The fragrance was too light, and there was a door between them. It took about five minutes before Qi Tianhe could vaguely smell a little. However, before he could taste it carefully, the fragrance soon dissipated again.
There was a sound of walking in the corridor again. Bai Chan pressed her ears against the door panel. She confirmed that the person had walked away before she opened the door and walked out.
The incense ash had been cleaned up long ago, and only a little bit of very broken ash was stuck in the cracks in the wall. Bai Chan bent down and rubbed his fingertips, turned his head and smiled, "Did you find something before?"
Qi Tianhe nodded and pointed to the blank wall: "There may be a room inside."
When he just walked past, he felt something was wrong, and this was attributed to the first copy. At that time, Lu Nan's owner hid the door in order to completely erase the traces of his own residence. Later, when Qi Tianhe put down the copy again, he would subconsciously pay attention to the harmony of the architectural layout.
"The corridor is too long, unless the room near the stairs is particularly large."
But that kind of possibility is almost none, and it will not appear even more inconsistent.
Bai Chan stood up, patted the gray on her hands, and stared at the wall in front of her: "Who would burn incense against the empty wall?"
Unheard the response, Yu Guangjian saw Qi Tianhe that he had already carried the small shovel, as if he would violently smash it down the next second.
"Calm down." He said.
Qi Tianhe: "Don't worry."
He just wanted to try if there were any sealing barriers. He gently knocked on the wall with a very small force, only a piece of wall skin was cut.
Qi Tianhe took back the shovel, and the next moment, the wall suddenly began to shake by itself. The ash falling from the ceiling made people almost sneeze. Fortunately, the movement was not too big, and it did not attract anyone who had just gone down.
He shrugged innocently, saying that this is really not his own fault.
The wall was pulled open from the inside, and it turned out to be a small door in front of them, but it was disguised through clever decoration.
The bandage man appeared and stood face to face with the two. An ear-shaped prop was installed on the wall inside, probably a loudspeaker, and any sound in the corridor could be transmitted through the ears.
"Thank you for opening the door." Qi Tianhe squeezed in from the side and called Bai Chan to join him.
Judging from the layout, this is an ordinary small room. The white cloth originally covered with furniture was lifted and thrown aside. It can be seen that the bandage man had searched it before they came.
Qi Tianhe glanced up and down... and found that the funny love bag in the other party was being held in a square shape, and it seemed that it was something like a notebook.
"Diary." The bandaged man confirmed his guess.
Qi Tianhe: "The password locked?"
The bandage man took it out directly, and the side was indeed a password lock, a plastic shell, and it could be broken or broken.
Qi Tianhe firmly believes that the password he obtained is useful. One end of the equivalent exchange scale is that the player is gambling about his life, and ghosts cannot give useless information casually.
Sure enough, the bandage man pointed to the outside and put white tape on it, which said: Peeking without the owner's permission is an infringement of ** rights.
The word is crooked, and there is one or a typo.
Qi Tianhe asked in a tentative question: "I have a password, let's read it together?"
The bandage man threw the diary over.
Qi Tianhe didn't expect that he would be so easy to talk to. While pulling the numbers, he wondered: "Liu Tianming has already obtained clues, but he didn't even find the diary."
"Maybe it turned out." Bai Chan said lightly: "When he came back that day, he was holding something in his hand, but he met Huirui."
"..." Qi Tianhe realized that he seemed to have cheated his teammates.
When the diary was opened, Bai Chan and the bandage man took a small step back, without any intention of coming over to see it. Qi Tianhe suddenly remembered that he had found the diary of the old earl in the previous dungeon. Liu Tianming had the same choice. According to him, players may be cursed by ghosts when they read through ghosts' diaries... It is enough for one person to bear such things.
Bai Chan: "The child gave you a password, it's not a big problem."
After saying that, he retreated further.
“…”
Qi Tianhe's mouth twitched slightly and began to read the contents of the diary.
"School is closed, it's so hot."
"The food on the table is getting less and less, and I'm so hungry."
The diary was written in a jump, and nearly a dozen pages were writing "hungry" in their pen. The diary was already anxious, and the paper in the middle was pierced by the tip of the pen because it was too heavy to use force.
"A white bird flew from the sky, so beautiful. Dad said it was a faith bird, and it was the mountain god who came to save us."
"The bird of faith brings fruit, I like it very much."
The appearance of the letter bird became the dawn in the child's heart. His diary began to revolve around the letter bird, and his handwriting could not tell the sloppy and impatient way before.
"The fruits brought by the Bird of Trust bring less than before. I think it's because the fruits there are almost gone, after all, it travels back and forth several times a day."
I skipped a few more days later.
"Dad said I'm so happy to have meat soon!"
This excitement turned the next day, and more than a dozen exclamation marks were written on one page: "They actually caught the letter bird and slaughtered it! I went to reason with my father, and he scolded me, and my mother scolded me. But this was wrong. I was going to tell the school teachers and friends and let them release the letter bird with me."
A child writes at most a few lines of words as a diary every day, sometimes only one sentence, but that night, he wrote another article: "No one pays attention to me, I decided to release the letter bird myself."
The diary ended here completely, and the paper behind it was brand new.
Qi Tianhe summarized it roughly, then told Bai Chan and the bandage man, closed the book and said, "What must have happened that night."
Bai Chan heard more tragic stories than this, and could not see too many emotional fluctuations. However, he was obviously dissatisfied with the actions of the mayor and his wife, and sneered: "No matter what happens, the result will inevitably lead to the tragic death of the child."
Qi Tianhe: "The pain of the residents of the town comes from the revenge of Confidence Bird, but from the diary, the child is kind to Confidence Bird. Who is torturing his soul?"
Suddenly, Bai Chan’s cold smile just now appeared in his mind, and a ridiculous guess was created: “Can they be the mayor and his wife?”
Bai Chan: "The mayor has the right to decide many things in the town. He is the one who is driving his head to catch the bird, but the temperature here is lower than that in other places. The reason may be due to this child."
Qi Tianhe's lips moved, and Bai Chan reached out and covered his mouth symbolically: "It has nothing to do with the air conditioner."
Not everyone will treat ghosts’ nests as a summer resort.
Qi Tianhe was considering how to fulfill the requirements of the Bird of Letter and keep the souls of innocent people from suffering, the bandage man restored the room to avoid leaving any traces of human search.
"The child only moves in the cellar, and his range of movement is limited," the bandaged man rarely expressed his opinion: "Something sealed him."
He paused and said, "No matter how kind he was in his lifetime, the behavior of the whole meeting after he became a ghost will develop in an extreme direction."
The following sentence seems to be intentionally saying to Qi Tianhe, warning him not to be too emotional when encountering things.
Qi Tianhe was very clear about this point. More than ten minutes ago, he was still playing games with his children in the cellar. If he lost, he would probably be cold at this moment.
The bandage man did not act with them, and after going out, he flipped down the corridor window.
Qi Tianhe wondered: "The clues are concentrated in the mayor, why did he run out?"
Bai Chan shrugged and said nothing.
The air in the house was not circulating, so Qi Tianhe fanned with his hand, and his thinking was distorted: "It's so hot to wear short sleeves. That winter, I won't be able to die of a bandage wrapped around my body?"
"It's a prop."
"Um?"
Bai Chan: "I have noticed that bandages are props that can drive away cold and heat. When encountering danger, they can also ensure that the person involved is not invaded by water and fire within a certain period of time."
"..." Poverty left him with no knowledge.
Qi Tianhe was sore and focused on it: "I have to find a way to get clues from the mayor and his wife."
Bai Chan: "You can use the most primitive method."
Qi Tianhe: "…eavesdropping?"
Bai Chan nodded: "The temperature has been abnormal recently, so they must be very anxious, otherwise they would not burn incense, and they would inevitably mention some past events in their daily lives."
The method is useful but time-consuming, and there is a risk of exposure if you are not careful.
Bai Chan obviously had a plan: "I'll go downstairs to make some noise, check each room one by one, and find a place to hide."
In terms of observation, he is slightly inferior to Qi Tianhe.
A very reasonable division of labor, Qi Tianhe has no objection.
Bai Chan said before leaving: "Remember to stay in touch."
Qi Tianhe frowned: "How to contact each other inside and outside?"
From time to time, Bai Chan would forget that she is now in the player's state and could not transform into a parrot and go in and out of someone's head. So she thought of a solution: "When encountering danger, shouting for help."
“…”
Not long after he left, a crackling sound came from outside. Qi Tianhe hid in the corner of the stairs and observed the direction of the door, and was caught off guard and was startled by the vibration.
To be continued...
