Chapter 115 The Murderous House Case 4
In contrast to the bold trio who were bulldozing their way through puzzles to obtain clues, Jiang Yu and the others were partying with the NPCs where they were.
To be more exact, not where they were. It could only be said that there wasn’t much progress.
After they fell from above, they fell directly into the foam pool. The three of them were confused at first. Shu Hua stared at the dark and narrow passage and asked, "What happened? Why are we here? Where are Ye Yuanyu and the others?"
Jian Cang whispered, "I have a bad feeling."
Jiang Yu nodded. She felt the same way. Then she heard the terrifying sound of "hehe" coming from the side.
She turned around and saw a group of men and women wearing ancient costumes with their bodies stiff and stumbling toward them like zombies. She was so frightened that the hair stood on its end.
Shu Hua and Jian Cang naturally saw it. Immediately, a new round of screaming started. Fortunately, they didn't delay their escape despite all the screaming. After nimbly getting up from the foam pool, Shu Hua reached out and grabbed Jiang Yu
Jiang Yu finally felt that she could move. The three of them began to crawl forward along the dim passage. Amidst the fear, Jian Cang remembered to protect Jiang Yu. Not long after running out, he reached out and pushed her to the middle. Using the voice that had its tone changed, he shouted, "Don't drop behind! I don't dare to go back to find you!"
【Hahahaha, this Darling Jian, you can date this. He is scared witless and still remembers to protect Jiang Yu. 】
【Although his real motive is due to afraid of going back to find her, it’s pretty good, hahahaha. 】
【Why am I so touched? Hahahaha. 】
So in front of Jiang Yu was Shu Hua’s high pitch path making and behind was the escort of Jian Cang’s intermittently tenor voice. They rushed all the way into a very large stone room. When they reached the middle, Jiang Yu felt something under her feet. Then her whole body whooshed into the air.
"Ah!" She couldn't help but exclaim.
Jian Cang, who was behind, saw Jiang Yu flying up in front of him and was startled, "Elder Sister Yu!!!"
Hearing the shrill voice, Shu Hua turned her head around despite the fear. Not seeing Jiang Yu, she screamed with her teeth open and claws waving while staring at the ground in shock, "What happened? What happened? Where's Bigshot? Where did she fall to again??!!”
The audience was amused by the three of them and laughed:
【Hahahahaha, these three clowns are so hilarious. 】
【ROFL, they made escaping quite a show. 】
【Three people, oh, no, two people created a formation of thousands of troops. 】
【This is my favorite part to watch, hahahaha...】
Shu Hua anxiously searched for Jiang Yu, Jian Cang quickly pointed upward, "Up there!"
Shu Hua raised her head:! ! !
Caught in a large rope net, Jiang Yu slowly rose up. Then she turned to the ‘zombies’ who were about to chase in and said to the two of them, "Leave me alone for now and hide!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the zombies burst through the door. Shu Hua and Jian Cang didn't have time to think. They screamed and rushed into a small fenced room on the opposite side.
Jian Cang hurriedly closed the fence door. Most of the few torches on the wall of the stone room were extinguished. Only two faintly provided weak light. The ‘zombies’ who were chasing them slowly and leisurely suddenly became extremely agile, roared loudly, and rushed toward the three people.
"Ahhhh!!! What's going on?!" Shu Hua and Jian Cang looked at the hands reaching out from outside the fence and the ferocious faces, huddled tightly in the corner, and shivered.
"Ah, mama, help!"
Even in the midst of this chaos, Shu Hua shouted loudly, "Bigshot, how are you?"
Jiang Yu was hung in the air. There were a few ‘zombies’ below who reached out and tried to grab her. Jiang Yu tried hard to avoid them by swinging the rope net, "It's fine."
【Although it’s so miserable, this is my source of happiness, hahahaha. 】
【The program team is wicked. The bold trio next door has nothing to show for, while the timid trio has monsters all the way. 】
【En, one side is timelessly quiet and peaceful and the other is flying chickens and jumping dogs. But I like this side better, hahaha. 】
Jiang Yu struggled in the rope net. At first, she was standing. When she felt someone could touch her feet, she shrank in fear. Because the rope net was soft, she immediately lost her balance and fell. Then she realized that the zombies below seemed unable to reach her.
Huh?
Jiang Yu immediately thought of something and simply laid down. She stepped on the other side of the rope net with her legs and pushed hard, causing the height of the rope net to rise instantly.
When the center points were the same, the heights of the vertical ‘|’ and the horizontal "δΈ€" were naturally different.
She was completely out of the zombies below’s reach...
Zombie:......
Audience:【……】
The audience watched as Jiang Yu stretched her legs and straightened her body when the zombies were jumping to catch her. When the zombies fell down, she relaxed again and gathered strength.
Afterward, she turned her head around and smiled obediently at a short zombie.
【Hahaha, this is very Jiang Yu. 】
【How can such a well-behaved-looking person be so naughty? So bad. 】
【NPC: I'm offended. 】
【LOL, the application of knowledge by top students is always reflected in all aspects. 】
Just when Jiang Yu felt that he couldn't move, the torch finally lit up again. The zombies seemed to be frightened and fled away. Hiding in the surrounding shadows, they roared at them. Their movements and sounds became smaller and smaller.
Jian Cang wasn't satisfied, "Why didn't they leave? What does this mean? Will they come again in a bit?!"
"Don't worry about it for now!" Shu Hua suddenly shouted, "There are some here too!"
He turned his head and followed Shu Hua's gaze, meeting the eyes of a snow-white skull with black holes.
He halted and jumped up at once, "Waaa!!"
Shu Hua was shocked too. The two of them rushed to the door in unison, only to find that the door was locked!
Jian Cang mentally collapsed, "Feck!!! Why is there a lock? You can't open the door but can lock it? Isn't this unreasonable?"
【Hahahaha, what he said makes sense. However, the director didn’t listen, hahahaha 】
Shu Hua shouted, "This is too much!!"
Probably because they made too much noise, the head of one skeleton in the back fell off and rolled to their feet.
"Ahhhhhh!!"
"Miss, have mercy!!"
Watching the two jumping around in the cell, the audience was overjoyed:
【The program team is so bad, hahaha, I like it. 】
【Ouch, my stomach hurts so much. I'm a little worried that I haven't prepared enough merit. 】
Jiang Yu was hanging in the air, faring a bit better. She had found a comfortable position and sat cross-legged in the rope net. She comforted the two of them, "Calm down, calm down, that's a model. It won't move. Look for clues first!"
Her words had some soothing effect. The two of them tried to calm down and looked back at the skeleton.
Jian Cang carefully picked up the skull's head, held it in both hands and put it back, "I'm sorry, Miss. Please forgive me if I offend you."
Shu Hua said, "How do you know it was the young lady?"
Jian Cang pointed to the clothes the skeleton was wearing, "This jacket and skirt must be that of a young lady."
Shu Hua said, "I mean, is there a possibility that she is an aunt?"
Jian Cang's expression turned solemn, "What you’re saying is wrong. There is no aunt in this world. Beside handsome guys, there are Misses."
【Hahaha, bravo Darling Jian. At least we don’t had to worry about finding a match. 】
【Indeed, if you call an auntie miss, they will be delighted. If you call a miss auntie, there will be fury. 】
Shu Hua felt it made sense. She clasped her hands and faced the skeleton, "Miss, pardon the offense. We have no choice but to do so."
Then she reached out and rummaged through the other person's clothes. When she reached the skirt, she tried to lift the other person's legs, which resulted in a "snap" sound...
Shu Hua stared at the thigh bone in her hand and asked Jian Cang seriously, "Do you think the miss will be angry?"
Jian Cang stayed away from her and said to the skeleton, "Miss, there is a debtor for the wrongdoing. I didn't do it. You must recognize the person clearly."
Shu Hua gritted her teeth and kicked over.
Jian Cang quickly dodged. Then he discovered something, "Huh? This stone can move."
Shu Hua hurriedly gathered over, while Jian Cang pulled out the movable stone and took out a piece of cloth.
The words on it seemed to be written in black charcoal:
"Run, quick run! You must escape, otherwise life will be worse than death!" Jian Cang read. "In order to prevent us from escaping, Young Master specially used a combination lock. If you can read a Western clock, you can unlock the password! I am about to become a poisoned person and there is nothing I can do. I hope you can leave here!"
Three dice were drawn at the bottom.
Shu Hua stared at the three dice, "Why three? The password is five digits."
Jian Cang stared at it. Each dice had two dots painted on it, one red and one black and the positions were different.
Shu Hua unfolded the cloth and showed it to Jiang Yu, "Bigshot, decipher the code!"
Jian Cang said, "It's so far away, can you see clearly?"
Jiang Yu was lying on the rope net. It was true that she couldn't see clearly, but...
"Didn't she talk about a Western clock? Whether she draws dice or tofu, it is used as a dial. If it’s a line, it is used as the hour and minute hand. If it’s a point, it’s used as the direction of the hour and minute hands."
Jian Cang understood almost immediately, "Ah! Wait...it's 36915!"
"Huh?" Shu Hua caught on, "The first dice has a red dot in the middle on the right side and a black dot in the middle. The red dot was where the hour hand points. The black dot was where the minute hand points, so the first one was 3 o'clock. The second one was 3 o'clock. The one directly above and below was six o'clock. The third one directly above and below was nine o'clock and fifteen, so it was 36915!"
Jian Cang raised his hand and gave her a high-five, "That's awesome."
The two people hurriedly came out of the fence door and stared at Jiang Yu who was hanging in the air. Shu Hua said, "Bigshot, how are you going to get down?"
Jiang Yu looked around and seemed to have no clue, "You guys look for clues first."
So the three of them examined the stone room together.
Shu Hua remarked, "It's a bit like the mysterious dungeon in martial arts novels."
"It's a little different from the dungeon." Jian Cang pointed to the row of bars cells they had come out from. "There is only one row of places to hold people here."
He then walked to the big stone bed in the middle and looked at the black leather straps fixed at the four corners. "This is where people are tied up, right? There’s also this table.”
"It doesn't look like a torture instrument. It looks a bit like an experimental bed. Doesn’t it look like an ancient version of a biological laboratory?"
Shu Hua had already set her eye on the blue record book on the table, "You are right. This is the ancient version of the biological laboratory, "The Diary of the Immortal Poisoned Man"."
She opened it and read: "...After several generations of efforts by our Chen Family, the immortal poisoned people has finally taken shape! If it succeeds, I will be the biggest contributor to our Chen Family! They will automatically attack the living. Wonderful”
