When he returned to the hall, Su Zimo saw a small fire with a shovel sitting down in front of the mirror in the hall, looking like he was not keeping his soul. And Cheng Yun is covering the ripped decorative mirror again as quickly as possible.
"What's going on?" Dr. Jin asked in surprise.
"I don't want to see what will appear in the mirror?" The little fire that was scared just now, but now he touched his nose and climbed up from the ground, said in dismay, "I don't want to do it Things, there is always an urge to try."
"It's because I didn't look at him." Cheng Yun apologized and went back to the table to look at Su Zimo who came back. "How? Have you found any new clues?"
Su Zimo looked at Cheng Yun who was standing there. Some of them did not know why the trainer stood here in front of him. If he was really a trainer who was escaping from the 20th nightmare world, then he would not want to clear this. Nightmare world.
If the opponent is a "beast" that kills people and wins treasure, then staying here means that he has found the object he wants to hunt and is constantly looking for opportunities to shoot.
Su Zimo observed Cheng Yun's expression, and he could not see any special emotion for a while.
"It doesn't matter if you don't find a clue." Cheng Yun regarded Su Zimo's moment of silence as frustration, and his face showed an initial smile of relief. "After all, it is a nightmare world with five days of difficulty. The method of customs clearance is not easy. "
"Captain Cheng, there is no nightmare in Mr. Su, so he wants to clear the customs so hard." Qi Xiaomin seems to understand Su Zimo's active performance as a strong desire for survival, which may also be seen by experienced practitioners. Su Zimo, a newcomer who shines and shines but has no strange reason, "If you can't clear customs, Captain Cheng, is there any way you can prevent Mr. Su from punishment?"
"Or it's okay to divide my nightmares into the past." Qi Xiaomin's eyes were a little firm, "Actually, I still saved a little."
"Sorry, I have never heard of the method of giving nightmare points other than the mark of the slave." Cheng Yun shook his head. "There is no way to escape death punishment other than nightmare points, otherwise those who avoid the second Trainers in the world of ten nightmares don’t have to worry so much."
"Strange." Jin Lei's finger next to her chin looked at Cheng Yun meaningfully. "When the madman talked about the twentieth nightmare world before, I thought you didn't know anything about those experienced."
"I heard a little bit." Cheng Yun grinned reluctantly.
"Actually, Mr. Fang and I discovered something." Su Zimo nodded gratefully at Xiaomin before saying, "There are at least four owners of the villa, a couple, a daughter and an old man."
"Is there an old man? This is a new clue, I don't know how it helps to find a lifeline?" Cheng Yun's expression looks very serious, but if he adds the maid costume he is wearing now, there will be no serious atmosphere. Too.
"Everyone is clear about the layout of the first floor." Su Zimo looked around and found that even Mrs. Fang Qin and Dr. Jin did not respond, so he could only say, "There are some problems with the layout of the third floor." "
"The layout of the third floor starts from the staircase, which is the large bathroom, family doctor bedroom, study room, toy room and master bedroom." Su Zimo sighed, "If the master bedroom is a three-person house, then the sick old man should Where do you live?"
"Second floor!" Dr. Jin immediately reacted this time. "The old man lives on the second floor!"
"And it may be an old man with a lonely personality and a little indifferent to the things around him." Su Zimo looked at the manuscript in his hand, except for the sentence on the first page of the manuscript, "Lost in a busy city, it is better to walk a lonely mountain." The other content in the manuscript also expresses the old man's indifference to the surrounding things, only because the manuscript itself is prose, and the writing is very abstract, so Su Zimo did not resonate except for many seemingly gorgeous sentences and beautiful pens. In addition to the word, there is no useful information from the manuscript.
"Will the old man live in the master bedroom? Didn't it say that the villa owner's family might not live here, but just leave the patient in the villa alone?" Dr. Jin asked.
"No." The answer was Liu Xu who had been to the master bedroom once. He said with certainty, "There are no supplies for the elderly in the master bedroom, and the wardrobe is indeed a family of three, but the number is relatively small. Not like living for a long time."
"Then we can be sure that most of the time, only laymen, family doctors and sick old people live in this villa." After three tosses, Su Zimo finally reached the first definitive conclusion .
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"So the question now is, is the ghost in this villa headed by a housekeeper and a family doctor, or an elderly person on the second floor?" Su Zimo said, looking at the small fire over there. "Brother Xiaohuo, what do you see in the mirror?"
"Of course ghosts! Bloody ghosts all over! The most frightening kind!" Xiao Huo extended his left hand with a handprint printed on it, and said with exaggerated expression, "If not brother, I will react Soon, he was caught in the mirror by the ghost!"
Is he wrong?
After hearing Xiaohuo's words, Su Zimo felt that the task reminder of their trainers that the first "note the mirror" might really just be careful of ghosts in the mirror? Before Xiao Huo tried it himself, Su Zimo originally thought that the words "attention mirror" could also be interpreted as-
[There are very important clues in the mirror, so please pay attention. ]
But the fact is that Xiao Huo's hand was caught by the ghost in the mirror?
"We need to sort out the clues." Jin Lei took out his portable notebook again and spread it out on the dining table. "Because we don't know the time sequence, we will sort out from the floor and the characters."
"First of all, the people who live on the first floor, we can reasonably speculate from the things in the safe. The villa’s financial power and accounts are in the hands of the housekeeper, and he may even be the mastermind of everything. So the housekeeper belt People and an irresponsible family doctor occupy the villa like a bandit, get money through fake books, and live a smarter life than the patients they should take care of." Dr. Jin tried to straighten himself out Ideas.
"And they may have sold the precious ancient books collected by the old man in the study room at a low price to obtain a large sum of wealth in the safe." Su Zimo almost forgot to inform the source of the money.
"So after getting the money, the account book is not so important to them." Dr. Jin said, scratching his chin with the pen, "Sue Xiao Su, the clue is here, can you think of anything else? problem?"
"The old man who lives here is an educated elder." Su Zimo thought for a while, "After encountering so many absurd things that the housekeeper did, does the old man really have no way to resist? The villa's The owner has spent so much money and has never thought of asking the elderly to prove it? What is it that allows the housekeeper to applaud the owner of the villa so brazenly?"
"Maybe it's because the old man is very ill, or has he lost consciousness? Has he become a vegetative?" Qi Xiaomin racked his brain and thought for a while.
"If you are really sick, you should not leave the patient alone in the villa and rely on only one family doctor to take care of it." Su Zimo shook her head, "If the elderly are vegetative, then the monthly medical expenses It should be fixed, it is impossible for the housekeeper to move so much on the account book."
"So one of the keys to solving the puzzle is what kind of illness the old man has." Dr. Jin recorded this, "Is there any?"
"And there is... everyone in this villa, what happened in the end?" Su Zimo looked around the ruined villa, which was obviously abandoned for a long time. "The driver's room has the key of a famous car, the bodyguard's room. There is his most beloved tactical pen. There is even a safe deposit in the housekeeper’s room. Where will these people end up?"
When Su Zimo considered, he accidentally blurted out the "most beloved tactical pen" information that can only be read from the remarks, but other practitioners around him didn't seem to find it, and they also showed a thoughtful expression.
"Maybe something happened?" At this time, Xiaohuo raised his hand like a good student. "The ghost I saw in the mirror just now is not an old man at all. It may be one of those servants. After all, if it is In my case, as long as there is a chance to run, I will definitely take away the money, and by the way, take away my beloved things and transportation."
"Then this story is..." Dr. Jin gestured in the notes.
"The three generations of happy grandchildren originally lived here, to be precise, a happy family of three and an old man with a bad temper. Later, the old man may be sick, and the family of three also left the villa for some reason."
"At the same time, the children of the elderly have left a sufficient number of servants and a family doctor in the villa. The purpose should be to take good care of the sick elderly, and even give the housekeeper the right to make advances every month. The children themselves It’s just a regular check of the ledger and the doctor’s work log.
Dr. Jin said, adding,
There are many children who think that this kind of care is filial, but it’s really easy to get into trouble.
"The elderly children's self-perceived perfect care is actually full of mistakes. The housekeeper of this family took the lead in making false accounts and initially deducted the elderly's medical related expenses to satisfy the personal desires of himself and others in the villa."
"Later, the butlers and other people's appetites grew bigger and bigger, and the money they needed finally exceeded the warning line of the elderly children. As long as they took another step forward, their smart life would be completely terminated. So the stewards stopped doing it. Fake accounts, instead... secretly selling precious ancient books in exchange for money, as Su Zimo said, to enjoy a more luxurious life."
"We don't know what happened later, but the descendants and family doctors in the villa are probably no longer alive, and the elderly who are seriously ill should also be no longer alive. I'm afraid the housekeeper's actions will not usher in the end. Good results, this is really good news."
Dr. Jin combed through all the clues and told a story that can be woven out with the current clues. Finally, he asked: "So, where is the first line of life in this world? We acted as these people who did many evil things. , And why?"
"I'm afraid we have to wait for this'day' to pass before we can get new clues." Su Zimo felt that Dr. Jin had connected all the clues together. For now, there are really no new clues.
"You... are really amazing." Cheng Yun did not feel relieved to hear this fairly complete story, and even a thoughtful expression appeared on his face, "I just think that time passes quickly, but I don't think of you. I could find so many things."
Cheng Yun’s tone gave Su Zimo a very bad feeling. He seemed to be surprised by the clues they had harvested, but this surprise was not mixed with surprises and gratifications, but rather unpleasant. .
"After all, this nightmare world really met a lot of excellent children." Father Fang Qin seemed to feel the eccentricity of Cheng Yun, and he touched a beard happily. "It's worse than those encountered in the nightmare world. The child is so much better, let me be such an old man to play games with a group of bear children, this old bone can't bear it anymore."
Grandpa Fang, like Su Zimo, apparently met many newcomers who had a headache.
"After all, not every newcomer is as powerful as Zimo." Du Xin, who was sitting next to Su Zimo, suddenly had a dull look. "I thought that after four years, I would become better, but I didn't expect a nightmare. The role in the world is not as good as that of Zi Mo. You used to think that you are a person from another world, but it still gives me this feeling..."
"Hey, Du Xin." Feeling Du Xin's emotions a little wrong, Qi Xiaomin reminded softly.
"It's nothing, just a little emotion." Du Xin narrowed his eyes with a smile. "After a period of time, the remaining relationship between me and Zimo before you seems to be left with the words "Shoushan Yizhong", sometimes You might even think... If the reason for your transfer is really the same as the rumor, the gap between us may not be so big. But private doctors or something, it seems that it is not affordable for ordinary people."
Du Xin kept squinting and smiling, but Su Zimo didn't feel comfortable.
[Creak—creak—]
At this time, a familiar squeak appeared again in the upper part of the hall. All the practitioners did not panic this time. Instead, they were ready to get up and sort out their clothes as if they were used to it. Looking forward to any new clues after waking up this time.
Only this time the drowsiness felt faster and more fierce than before. Su Zimo didn't even have time to reach out and grab the "Butler's Self-Cultivation" that he placed on the table, and fell asleep uncontrollably.
"Ah ah ah ah ah……"
In the darkness, Su Zimo had just regained consciousness, and he heard the still vague and inaudible voice ringing in his ear again.
As before, there is still a "creak" sound of heavy objects on the wooden floor approaching, and the sound of something constantly being tapped makes people feel that the "that" that appears in the dark is in a very anxious state. status.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh..."
Although he could not distinguish each other's language, Su Zimo could feel the urgency more and more from the voice. When the urgency reached the extreme, it felt like crying and sobbing.
"Anyone?" At this time, Qi Xiaomin's voice suddenly came from the darkness. As Qi Xiaomin's voice sounded, the vague whimper and the creak of the floor showed signs of slowly disappearing.
Su Zimo was obviously not in a person's room at this moment, so he consciously responded: "I am."
It was the next second when Su Zimo made a sound, he suddenly felt a gust of wind coming from behind, because he knew that the entire villa was a "secret room" without wind, so Su Zimo did not hesitate to hit the wind A metal pen was thrown away in the direction of, guessing that it would be Li Gui who was hiding in the villa at this time.
"Well!"
But the next second, Su Zimo even felt something real in his hand, not a ghost, but a person! He even heard a mumble from someone in that direction!
Although Su Zimo did not deal with others with a stick, he has dealt with many ghosts, so it is certain that the one he just hit was not a ghost!
Did he accidentally hurt other practitioners by mistake?
No, if it was a mistake, how could the person hit by Su Zimo be so quiet? It's like restraining yourself from speaking!
In the dark, Qi Xiaomin, who was hiding on the side, suddenly turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone, so that Su Zimo could see through the faint light that he was in a relatively large maid’s room, while Qi Xiaomin, Cheng Yunhe Du Xin, three experienced practitioners in maid costumes.
Their previous guess was correct. After putting on clothes that can be identified, they appeared in the "correct" room.
But the serious problem now is...
Just now someone seemed to want to attack Su Zimo.
Su Zimo looked at Cheng Yun and Du Xin in front of him, but found that there were no special expressions on the faces of the two, but the eyes were covered by the sudden light, and they felt dazzling.
Realizing that the dark room was unsafe, Su Zimo took the lead in pushing the maids' room and went out, looking at the trainers who came out of the "correct" room without expression, and nodded them to Jin Lei. , First returned to the bright hall of candlelight.
It is clearly the third "day", but the candles in the hall do not seem to consume the same, still bright as daylight.
"The role-playing clues should be correct." Su Zimo's body seemed to be less gentle and colder than before. He looked at the practitioners around him seriously, "the remaining time is not much, I think We can start thinking about forcibly removing the blockade on the second floor. There must be a clue that everyone wants to find on the second floor of this villa."
At that moment, Su Zimo's eyes hidden behind the lens seemed to have an irresistible light, and the whole person's aura seemed to be different from before.
Not just clues, if Su Zimo couldn't find a ghost weapon on the second floor, he didn't need to stay in this nightmare world. After all, he was not interested in being inexplicably turned into a human eye when he was stared at by Li Gui.
"Please ask Captain Cheng Yun to stay in the lobby and wait." Su Zimo turned to look at Cheng Yun, who rubbed his eyes, and the corner of his mouth suddenly raised an arc. "With you sitting here, we will definitely be safer."
