Chapter 104 Love Letter
Chapter 104 Love Letter
This boudoir is actually not very big. You can see everything at a glance by standing at the door.
As for the decorations, there are not many.
There is a bed, a dressing table, a large cabinet, a washbasin, calligraphy and paintings on the wall, and a bronze dressing mirror on the table. That's basically it.
It would not be difficult to search the place thoroughly.
The problem is, there is an evil spirit lurking here.
A very vicious ghost.
At present, the true appearance of this evil spirit is unknown, all we can see is a lot of white silk hanging from above.
When an evil spirit attacks, the white silk will fall down, wrap around the person's neck, hang him up, and strangle him to death.
No matter how good the physical fitness of a normal person is, it is impossible for him to deal with it by his own strength. He can only use the "Rebirth Sutra" and "Buddha Beads" to offset the attack of the evil spirit.
But this kind of offset is limited in number of times.
If the evil spirits attack too frequently, the time they have to search the boudoir will be very limited.
So we must seize the time.
Luo Xi did not search around randomly. He scanned the boudoir, observing and carefully analyzing where there might be clues.
Because before this, Luo Xi had already learned some key information from Doucaogui Lao Cao.
The most powerful and dangerous evil spirit in this level is the 'Young Lady'. The young lady was pregnant but died in vain, which made her extremely resentful. Finally, she became an evil spirit on the night of her return to the spirit world and began to kill people.
The lady, the maidservant, and the master who chanted the sutras have all been killed by him.
But the eldest lady's resentment has not subsided yet.
In other words, she was going to kill someone more.
So, who did she want to kill?
This level is very large. Luo Xi knows that they have only explored a part of the area, so there may be people hiding in other places. If they can get some clues from the eldest lady's boudoir, it will play a decisive role in their passing this level.
Luo Xi's heart moved at this moment. He walked to the dressing table and looked at the decorations on it.
A bronze mirror, some women's items such as a wooden comb, and when you open the exquisite drawers, you can see rouge, powder, gold and silver jewelry, etc.
Just a quick glance and I really can't see any clues.
At this moment, Brother Mao shouted, "Here they come again, be careful!"
At this moment, Brother Mao's value has been demonstrated.
Because he can sense resentment, if any ghost or evil spirit approaches or has bad intentions, Brother Mao can predict it in advance.
This gave everyone time to prepare adequately.
For example, you can squat down in advance, find cover, and avoid the white silk. You can also stay away from the hanged body of Zhou Fang in advance to avoid being attacked by it when it turns into a corpse.
This time, not only did the white silk fall, but the corpse also changed, and another figure could be vaguely seen appearing in the white silk.
It appeared to be a hanged woman.
"Death, you are all going to die!"
The woman let out a sharp scream.
Luo Xi only responded with a "Nirvana Mantra".
But this time, he didn't just read one sentence, he read two.
"Namo Amitabha Night, Duotagadu Night"
This resolved the female ghost's attack, but two beads in the Buddhist beads in his hand were broken at once.
"Trouble!"
Luo Xi frowned.
The hanged female ghost can increase the intensity of her attacks, so if you want to resolve it, you will have to pay twice the price as before.
Now there are only seven beads left in the Buddhist rosary.
It’s hard to say how long we can last like this.
Maybe next time, everything might be shattered.
"hurry up!"
Luo Xi shouted.
"There's a discovery!"
Ke Lan said something and immediately took something and jumped off the bed in the boudoir.
This guy was hiding in there just now, and he is not afraid of bad luck.
"There's a letter!"
He did have a stack of letters in his hand, several of them.
Luo Xi immediately took it and opened it.
His eyes lit up immediately.
“This should be it!”
Letters or love letters are more appropriate. They are all written by someone to the young lady, and the words in them reveal love and longing. Of course, if a modern woman sees these extremely literary and sweet words, she may not take them seriously, but the young lady is set as a wealthy lady in ancient times who never leaves the house, so it is inevitable that she will be conquered and conquered.
Luo Xi took a quick look.
I already have a preliminary plan in mind.
At this time, Luo Xi stuffed the scriptures and Buddhist beads in his hand into Brother Mao.
"After a while the ghost came, chanting scriptures and twirling beads."
After saying that, he picked up his cell phone to light it up and opened all the letters, while asking Ke Lan to continue looking for clues.
Maybe there are.
Or maybe not.
But there's no harm in looking.
Not to mention Brother Mao who was under a lot of pressure, and Ke Lan and Hou Cheng who were rummaging through the drawers, Luo Xi was checking the letters as quickly as possible at this time, and he even picked up some of them and examined them carefully.
Soon, the corners of his mouth raised, revealing a meaningful smile.
"I see. I was wondering why this guy was so hesitant before, as if he was hiding something."
The next moment, the wind was howling.
"Here they come, everyone be careful!" Brother Mao said in a nervous voice.
Obviously, this attack may be different from the previous ones.
Otherwise, Brother Mao wouldn’t have reacted like this.
At the same time, crying sounds were heard all around.
At first she was just sobbing, and then she seemed to be even sadder and started to cry uncontrollably.
A woman cried, "Miss, if you leave, I will not live either."
"It was them who harmed you, my lady, that stinky monk from Longlong Temple, and you, the ungrateful and shameless man who abandoned her after having sex with her. He betrayed you, my lady."
"I want to avenge the young lady. I want to kill all the men in the world. Kill, kill, kill."
The sense of terror and danger was almost like countless sharp blades stabbing at you from all directions, making your hair stand on end and your heart pounding.
Brother Mao finally started chanting.
This time, he recited four sentences before it was effective.
The darkness around them began to dissipate, countless white silks retracted, and the hanged bodies returned to calm again, but Luo Xi knew that they had no trump card to resist the next attack from the evil spirit.
Because the remaining seven beads in Brother Mao's Buddhist beads were all broken at once at this moment!
Including the one that was just cracked before, it also broke into pieces, leaving only a rope.
"Luo Xi, what should we do?" Brother Mao was also anxious.
Obviously, at this time they can only retreat, otherwise, the next time the evil spirit attacks, they will be killed without a burial place.
"Luo Xi, come and take a look." Ke Lan suddenly shouted at this time, his voice trembling with fear. Obviously, he had made another discovery.
Compared to Hou Cheng, who has been doing nothing since he came in, Ke Lan's observation ability is obviously stronger. It was he who found the previous letter, saying that he found it from the interlayer of the mattress under the bed.
If you are not careful and observant, it is impossible to find it.
Luo Xi walked over quickly.
"what happened?"
"Look in the bronze mirror." Ke Lan's face turned pale. It was obvious that this discovery made him unbelievable and extremely frightened.
Luo Xi looked at the bronze mirror on the dressing table over there. Luo Xi had observed this bronze mirror at first, but it was foggy. After all, the light in the room was not good, and the reflection of the bronze mirror was far inferior to that of modern mirrors. It was normal that it could not see clearly.
But looking at it again now, the bronze mirror is much clearer, mainly because I can see the candlelight in it.
There was no candlelight in the room, but there was in the room in the mirror. Not only was there candlelight, but you could also see a woman inside, combing her hair.
The woman had a graceful figure and long, shiny black hair, but she was sitting with her back to the mirror.
There were candles on the table next to it.
And there seemed to be a maid standing a little further back, but the candlelight was dim and she could not be seen clearly.
It was normal for Ke Lan to look pale, because in this situation, the scene in the mirror was very strange, and it was almost easy to guess that the one combing her hair was the eldest daughter, and the one standing next to her was a maid.
And judging from the words that Bai Ling's hanged ghost roared just now, such as "Miss, if you leave, I will not live either" and "I will avenge you", then it is reasonable to guess that the now powerless Bai Ling hanged ghost is the young lady's maid.
The real person is in the mirror, it would be strange if Ke Lan wasn't afraid.
The lady in the mirror was just combing her hair quietly, again and again, without any other movements.
On Luo Xi's side, the attack of Bai Ling's hanged ghost could come at any time.
Because the Buddhist beads had all been broken, they no longer had the ability to resist.
The best option is to get out quickly.
immediately!
What's more, Luo Xi has found a crucial 'clue'.
But the scene in the mirror at this moment seemed to foreshadow something else.
Luo Xi is not an indecisive person, nor is he entangled.
He made the decision almost instantly.
"Run, get out of here first."
"Ah!" Ke Lan heard it and immediately said, "But there are obviously new clues in this mirror, maybe it is related to passing the level."
"Run, run with the mirror!"
Luo Xi took the bronze mirror and held it in his arms. Ke Lan was stunned when she saw it. By the time she reacted, Luo Xi had already run to the door.
He hurriedly chased after him.
As for Hou Cheng, he rushed out the moment Luo Xi said to run. He was really scared. Staying in this haunted boudoir for one more second would be a huge torture for him.
He rushed outside and finally let out a long breath, pressing his beating chest.
"I will never challenge this ten-person difficulty again."
Hou Cheng kept muttering to himself. No need to ask, everyone knew that the last time he escaped from the haunted house, the difficulty was definitely incomparable to this time.
Looking back again, I could vaguely see a woman hanging from the beam in the open room, swaying and smiling at the people outside.
The next moment, the door slammed shut.
Wu Rui and Guo Zening, who were waiting outside, also saw this scene and their scalps went numb.
As for the scholar they were looking at, he was trembling all over, his face pale, and now he was slumped to the ground.
"Pick him up!"
Luo Xi said something.
Wu Rui and Guo Zening immediately lifted up the scholar.
Luo Xi first handed the bronze mirror to Ke Lan. The latter was startled but did not dare to refuse it. However, he held it as if he was holding a hot potato, and his expression was extremely painful.
Pulling off the cloth bag from the scholar, Luo Xi opened it and took a look.
There were pens, ink, paper, some books, clothes and small change.
When I opened the paper, I saw words on it, probably written by a scholar.
She then took out the letters she had found in the boudoir, opened them, and placed them together for comparison.
“Same handwriting!”
Luo Xi could confirm it almost at a glance.
As for the scholar, when he saw Luo Xi take out those love letters, his eyes widened and he was terrified to the extreme.
"The one who had an affair with the young lady was you!"
"I"
"Shh!" Luo Xi made a gesture to shut up. "No need to explain. I don't have time to listen. A person who is selfish, deceives others, and even feels nothing when the other person dies in vain after getting pregnant with your child, and even suggests that your aunt burn the body to destroy the evidence, most likely lies. But you are very smart. You talked in circles before and didn't say a word to the key point, so what you said is the truth. You almost fooled me."
The scholar's face was pale, and besides fear, there was also a hint of resentment hidden in his expression.
When the others heard Luo Xi's words, they also reacted.
"Damn it, it's this bastard. Damn it, hand him over and let the female ghost kill him. Then the female ghost lady will calm down and will definitely let us go." Hou Cheng was overjoyed when he heard this.
"He's such a beast, even death is a relief for him." Wu Rui had no sympathy for people like the scholar.
After everyone found out that this scholar was actually the unfaithful man who deceived the female ghost, they felt hatred but also relief.
The fighting grass ghost said that if they wanted to escape from here, they could only make the young lady let go of her resentment. The other party had already killed the lady, and now killing the unfaithful man would definitely offset the resentment in the female ghost's heart.
In this way, there is hope of passing the customs.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple!" Luo Xi said at this time: "Will handing this scholar over to the young lady really calm her down?"
"What else?" Hou Cheng asked at this time: "Now the situation is very clear. It was this scholar who let down the young lady. He was ruthless and ungrateful, so the young lady became a vengeful ghost after her death. As the saying goes, every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its creditor. If the young lady kills the scholar, she will get rid of her obsession and will naturally let us leave that old Cao. Isn't that what she said?"
"What Lao Cao said was to satisfy the eldest lady. He said revenge is just a way to satisfy the eldest lady. Let me ask you, what if she kills the scholar and is still not satisfied?" Luo Xi asked back.
Hou Cheng hesitated for a long time and couldn't answer the question "This".
This possibility is entirely possible because the eldest lady is not satisfied.
The others also understood that Luo Xi's worries were not groundless, so they all fell silent.
"The scholar still needs to be handed over to the female ghost, but this level needs further exploration. I feel that we haven't explored enough here. For example, there are four ghosts, and we have only come into contact with three. According to the current situation, we can pass the level without contacting the fourth ghost, so why set up the fourth ghost? Is it just to make up the number? Or is it just to increase the difficulty of the scene and add a dangerous point?"
"Of course, it may be that I am overthinking it, but sometimes, I would rather do a 'saturation rescue' and do a little more to pass the scene. Even if it is ultimately proven to be a waste of effort, it is better than doing less and ending up failing at the last hurdle." Everyone agreed with Luo Xi's words.
"Now all of you wait for me and keep an eye on the scholar."
After Luo Xi finished speaking, he walked towards Ke Lan.
The latter was still holding the bronze mirror and didn't dare to look down at all.
Ke Lan is a very capable person. When he was dodging Bai Ling just now, he was the fastest among everyone and had quick reactions. I guess he has practiced parkour or fighting. In short, he has an excellent physique and strong observation and analytical skills.
Although he seemed very timid, Luo Xi could see that he was acting and exaggerating.
If this bronze mirror were thrown to Hou Cheng, he might faint.
That's real cowardice.
To hide one's shortcomings, smart people always like to do this, I understand!
Therefore, it would be best to let Ke Lan cooperate with us in the next matter.
Luo Xi walked closer and looked down at the bronze mirror.
It was a strange scene. Even though we had left the house, the scene in the bronze mirror was still exactly the same as it was when we were in the house just now.
Of course, it was not exactly the same. The young lady in the mirror had turned around and was looking at Luo Xi with extremely cold eyes.
Please vote for me at the beginning of the month!
