Chapter 11: .Family of three (2)

Right in the house?
An Qi thought for a moment, and did not wait to think carefully, and listened to the crisp voice of the doll dog: "Please follow me. Please follow me. Please follow me. Please follow me..."
It looks like the dead cycle of the old doll's lack of electricity. The crisp electric sound is matched with the wire teeth of the mouth of the teeth, and I don't know what stains are contaminated. It only has a thrilling effect.
Frightened Lu Cong rolled up from the ground: "Go walk, go where you say I go!"
The doll dog seemed to be sluggish for a second, and the pair of unfeeling plastic eyes looked at them meaningfully and turned away.
An Qi touched her arms restlessly: "Isn't it okay..."
"It should be fine," the fat man comforted, "said that it is forbidden for players to harm each other."
Forbid players to harm each other? Yuan Rong frowned. His rule is to prohibit players from the same camp from hurting each other. Is it possible to protect the exposed traitors? It should not be, this prohibition prohibits him, not others. In other words, can he attack the enemy camp? But what good is this for traitors? Will the enemy camp also attack?
Is it... the rules of the enemy camp are different from theirs? This is possible.
An Qi did not raise any objections to the fat man's words, indicating that she also forbids players from harming each other.
"Come on now," pursed her lips uneasy, "don't be in trouble if you fall behind."
The details of the corridor decoration are prosperous and delicate. Although it didn't turn on a lamp, it looks gloomy and ghostly, but it can't conceal the fact that this is a mansion-just this mansion, no one has been taking care of it for a long time. Yuan Rong gently touched the dark golden wallpaper, and there were some patterns floating on it, but the light was too dark to be seen. In an instant he felt that his hands were full of gray. This dark golden wallpaper was actually light gold, just covered with a thick layer of gray.
No wonder the lights had to be turned on. Maybe the lights turned out to be a long-abandoned house.
But the rooms are very new, are they prepared for them?
Yuan Rong recovered, and the doll dog was already introducing the room. He looked up and saw that Lu Cong, who was very counseling at the moment, was struggling to write notes in the book, and he listened carefully.
"... Beside the guest room on the left side of the third floor is the study room, which contains the books of the lord and his wife. Beside the guest room on the right side of the third floor is the recreation room, which was built when the young master was born," the doll dog took with ease People go downstairs, "The second floor is the master's bedroom, please don't go wrong, otherwise the master will teach me. The left side of the hall on the first floor is the restaurant, we have been there, the left side of the restaurant is the kitchen. The right side of the hall is us Please don’t go wrong in the maid’s room."
"It" suddenly stopped in the middle of the lobby on the first floor, and the person who followed behind carefully startled. "It" turned around: "So, I hope everyone can play---pleasure-fast -"
Another malicious, hoarse voice, Yuan Rong glanced at Lu Cong's trembling under the thin rod legs, still in a strong dress and calm, he tugged on Angel's sleeve: "Let's go, we can move freely. "
An Qi recovered from the unconscious shaking: "Okay, go, go..."
When the four of them recovered their composure, the doll dog disappeared as if it didn't exist from the beginning.
The fat man took a breath. "That doll is really uncomfortable, and when I see "it" somehow, I tremble."
"It may be a psychological suggestion," the original pale face was even more bloodless, "I also looked uncomfortable, and I couldn't feel the strength when the voice sounded."
"Spiritual stress," An Qi concluded. "In any case, hurry up, there are less than 45 hours left. Except for sleep time, we only have about 20 hours to solve the puzzle. This is not a possible moth."
Lu Cong regained his composure. He took out the notes just now: "The study and entertainment rooms on both sides of the guest room are currently the safest places to go. Let's go here first. In order to speed up efficiency and supervise each other, I suggest that the soldiers divide the two." He looked at the fat man. Look at An Qi again, whispering: "Although I don't want to admit it, An Qi, you have played tweaking and understanding, and you have experience, you take cowards to the study, I take fat people to the entertainment room."
This division is justified. The four soldiers were divided into two roads and separated from the stairs of the third floor.
If the man does not die, it is the third and second teams.
Looking down from the carved railings on the third floor, the original room has a panoramic view of the entire hall and the first and second floors. The corridors are all dark. Only the center of the hall, the dusty and rusty candlestick pendant lamps glow dimly. I suspect that the light bulb has not changed for more than ten years, so it is so weak.
He speculated that the enemy camp knew that the "brother" was a traitor, but did not know who the "brother" was, so the "sister" would be silent. According to the status of the servant, the doll dog is necessary to answer questions to the guests-the enemy has more information than ours.
Before Yuan Rong entered the study, he screamed.
"Angel, Angel, are you okay?" He ran into the study in a panic and was startled by the prospect.
The pink doll rabbit, standing in front of the only window in the study, carrying the dark moonlight, looked quietly at the two people. The visible candlestick flickered in his hand, reflecting half a stiff and strange face. Seeing cold, it really made my heart tight. He quickly picked up Angel, who was sitting at the root of the wall, and quietly looked at the rabbit.
Rabbit tilted her head: "Are you all right?"
His voice was low and hoarse, and had nothing to do with pink, Angel trembling: "It's okay, it's okay."
This is where Rong Rong has his time to study the study. The study room is very small compared to the oversized hall. It is about the same size as the guest room. I originally suspected that the rooms on this floor are all the same size.
Yuan Rong remembered that "Sister" called this pink rabbit "Aud Butler", presumably knowing more information than "Doll Dog Maid", he asked: "Where is Master Esther?"
The rabbit replied quickly beyond his imagination: "in-this-in."
After being surprised, Yuan Rong continued to ask, "Is he already at Lycott's house?"
The rabbit nodded, and the candlelight shook with exaggerated actions: "Yes--"--
An Qi asked urgently: "When will he come to us?"
Yuan Rongsheng was afraid that the rabbit would speak to him in the next second, and only listened to the rabbit shaking his head: "Look--he--heart--love."
Seeing the rabbit playing Tai Chi, Angel did not waste time. It is estimated that she found that the enemy would not provide more information, and she wholeheartedly investigated the bookcase.
The bookcase and the wall are one-piece, full from the top to the bottom, and there are many large heads up to a few centimeters thick. For a long time no one took care of it, the spine of the book was so dusty that the title of the book could only be seen if the dust was wiped away. An Qi is roughly from top to bottom. Most of the bottom layers are the villain books, fairy tale books, and popular science books for young children. Upward, there are current love stories that young women love to read, and even weaving and cooking books; the middle layer has Political speech, a hundred schools of thought, and a decent majority are most common; the upper and middle layers are empty, and it is also easy to see the science and technology categories that are easy to fall asleep, what astronomy, marine environmental science and the like; the top two layers are almost all classic classics Most of the head.
Yuan Rong looked around. If the inference is correct, usually the study room will have a desk for the host to take notes while reading. Feelings, even important documents are often stored there. Sure enough, under the candlelight in the rabbit's hand, he saw the dim floor lamp in front of the bookcase diagonally across the dead corner, and there was a desk.
Very small. It's not so much a desk as a child's study desk. The material is not good, and the random goods sold by the carpenter shop are particularly out of place in such an elegantly decorated study room. The study room only had a floor lamp in front of the bookcase, and the candlelight in the hands of the weird housekeeper, which could not be found without careful approach.
Yuan Rong took advantage of Angel's carpet style to view the books one by one, and opened the only drawer without making a sound.
With a whisper of "baby", he hurriedly looked straight at An Qi and found that there was no alarm before looking down at the contents.
A small diary.
The cover is printed with the painted gold "DAIRY", a black leatherette notebook available everywhere. Turning over the title page, it looks a little bit immature. At first glance, it is the cursive character "Ester Lycott" written by a beginner.
A strange feeling rushed into my heart, and the original Rong Gui directly received it in the props column. I saw more on the right:
【Prop column: remaining item column 5/6】
[Liket’s Diary of the Young Master]
Don't peek at my secret, you ignorant mortals!
This turned out to be a prop? Yuan Rong couldn't figure it out, but an instinctive intuition told him that this diary could not be shown to others. It happened that Angel exclaimed: "Look at what I found, "Count of Monte Cristo"!"
"Count of Monte Cristo"? In Angel's identity information, "brother" want to discuss with her masterpiece? Yuan Rong was unclear about what would happen to him as "brother" and Angel, but he avoided doubt and could only go by.
"Any information?"
Angel ignored the etiquette and sat on the floor. She was a very thin girl, in her early fifties, but her strength was amazing. When she pulled Yuan Rong into the study, she looked like an adult man. Her not-so-long hair was randomly in the back of her head, revealing a shiny small forehead, which looked pure and neat. She greeted Yuanrong, opened the book, and the title page had no name.
This book is much newer than the one on the bookcase, and it hasn't fallen. For the sake of borrowed books, "brother" didn't think of reading as if he were a master, but wrote it on a sticky note. Angel took out a piece of note paper sandwiched in the book:
"...I like ghosts, and I have never heard that the evil done by the dead over six thousand years can exceed the crimes committed by the living within a day.
"...The wicked will not simply die, because God seems to take care of them, and he will use them as a tool for his revenge.
"...What can be called marvelous? That is something we cannot understand. And what is what we really want? It is something we cannot get.
"..."
"What do these hints mean? It's so obscure."
Yuan Rong took advantage of An Qi's contemplation and read the book back and forth and found two names on the last page.
Kelly Monde, and a flower name "Olya" that is not recognizable.
All look like female names.
An Qi murmured: "Ghosts, living people are doing evil, evil people are not dead, what human beings can't understand, wanting something that can't be obtained..." She stood up sharply, holding her shoulders, her eyes bright and terrified. In a jump, she said excitedly: "I understand roughly. It should mean that the LeCoult family has some mischief and a living person acts as a tiger's victim, for the common desire X. As for what they want, I haven't figured out yet , Estimated to be human life."
Yuan Rong smiled happily: "You are so powerful, I only understand that there are ghosts. So are we still looking for how to get rid of ghosts?"
An Qi nodded: "Let's look for other books together, maybe there are clues. But usually the clues will not be placed in the same place, if not, there is a high probability of being in another room."
Yuan Rong showed her two signatures on the back of the book: "Is this a clue?"
An Qi was shocked: "This is... my identity information tells me, my name is Kelly Mond. Is this "Olya" a "brother"?"
"Shouldn't the end of a be a female name? I remember the name "Brother" is Esther."
"Yes," An Qi frowned. "The person who borrowed the book should not be so rude to write the name. This may be related to other things. Look again."
The two split their heads and continued to look through the book for clues. Yuanrong was taller and stepped on the reading stool to look at the rows above. An Qi started looking from the lower level. Seeing that Angel was intently looking for a book, Yuan Rong took out her diary for review.
I turned a dozen pages roughly, and my diary started roughly in my teens. An out-of-group, introverted, and inferiority boy appeared to me.
"December 18
It's almost Christmas. But the whole family is not happy. Since the business slump, it seems that I have never seen the smiles of my parents. In fact, what if there is money? Isn't making money for happiness? "
Business downturn?
This western-style building is not like the one that was bought in a sluggish business, but some places are indeed in disrepair for many years.
The diary was intermittent, and several articles were written only once a month, but the text before and after contacting Yuan Rong was generally understood.
The small toy factory run by the Laiket family has been making dolls with exquisite handwork as the selling point since the last century. However, due to economic development, the hand-made doll factory was run by the factory and could hardly survive. A serious illness took the life of my dad, the housewife's mother cried day and night, and her family's property fell. My mother committed suicide on a rainy night, leaving her elder brother, second sister, and fifteen-year-old Aster.
The three brothers and sisters hated the ancestral family business that nurtured and restrained their parents to death. The second sister and Esther had gone to the university for a long time in order to get out of their prisons and had not returned for many years; while the elder brother worked hard and sincerely to inherit the family business Live food and clothing.
But in his sophomore year, Esther received a letter from his sister who had not been in contact for many years, and asked him to go home on the grounds of something important.
The diary ends here.
Yuanrong couldn't believe it, so it was gone, but the back was full of brand new pages, and there was no more pen.
There are many doubts. Since Esther returned to his old house and never kept a diary, why did the diary appear in the study? Besides, where did this big brother go? And from the description, although Esther is gloomy and uncommon, it is only introverted and lonely, and there is no self-esteem in the mouth of the "sister" at all. It was completely inconsistent with the "sister" I saw in the day.
When Esther returned home, something must have happened.
Just when he wanted to close the pages of the book and put away his diary, he saw a line appearing on the blank page.
"What's your name?"
