MTL - I Can Rewind-Chapter 83 The woman in the old house (1)
Chapter 83 The Woman in the Old House (1)
Yan Junze no longer felt sleepy, so he simply got up and poured himself a glass of water, leaning on the sofa and sitting down.
He didn't answer Zhang Xiaomo.
Facts have proved that Zhang Xiaomo is very powerful, and no matter what scene he encounters, he is surprisingly calm. It can be said that the calmness of a three-star spirit remover has been brought to the extreme.
And, experienced.
The dream just now felt very real, as if the mother-in-law was really standing in front of me.
And Zhang Xiaomo knew what happened to Yan Junze before he even came out, and he had to look at this woman with admiration again.
But at this moment, the feeling that there seemed to be something important that he hadn't remembered two days ago filled Yan Junze's chest again.
He took a sip of water and tried hard to remember, not knowing what important thing he had forgotten.
But after recalling it for a long time, I am still at a loss, but I feel vaguely uneasy in my heart, and feel flustered for no reason.
After drinking the water, he just sat on the sofa and fell asleep unconsciously.
At noon the next day, Zhang Xiaomo packed her travel bag, left her phone number for Yan Junze, and left first.
Yan Junze told Zhang Xiaomo that he would not leave until the next day on the grounds that he would have the last meal with Lin Ling and Su Muyao upstairs.
There are still two tasks waiting for him here. These are opportunities to light up the space-time map, and he can't waste it.
So after Zhang Xiaomo left, he first ran to Lin Dong and renewed the rent for two days.
Then I went to Xinglong Supermarket and bought two rechargeable flashlights and a gray mask. I took the flashlights back and plugged them into the plugboard in the house, and kept charging them.
According to the owner of the supermarket, this flashlight can be used for about an hour and a half when it is fully charged. It should take less than an hour and a half to explore the task of [The Hanged Woman], not to mention that I have a second flashlight.
Of course, it is impossible for Yan Junze to complete two tasks at once, so he plans to complete the task of "The Hanged Woman" first tonight, and then go to the Lin's yard tomorrow night to complete the task of "Throwing the Handkerchief".
The reason why we choose to do it at night is that only at night can we hide our eyes and ears. If it is changed to daytime, if it is seen by someone casually, the mission may fail.
After having a hot pot meal with Lin Ling and Su Muyao, neither Yan Junze nor Zhang Xiaomo revealed the real situation of that night, which made the two lovers keep thanking them, thinking that if they didn't appear suddenly, they might be useless up.
Yan Junze didn't want to say anything, and had a great time eating with the two, but he didn't dare to drink, and seeing that he was young and immature, Lin Ling didn't dare to persuade him to drink.
After about nine o'clock, the banquet ended, and Yan Junze returned downstairs after thanking him.
Looking at the flashlights, both of them are fully charged.
Now just wait for the dead of night and start to act.
At about half past eleven, it was hard to see a single person on the street at Yanjiao.
Yan Junze put on a black coat, put on a gray mask, and went out with a mobile phone and two flashlights.
He had pre-set his phone to silent.
Walking along this street, I could only see lights on in one or two houses along the way, and even Lin Ling and Su Muyao upstairs had fallen asleep.
Soon came to the No. 39 house of this old street.
Looking up, it still looks like daytime here, the door panel is broken, but the outer wall is still good, there is a large spider web at the door, and no one has entered for a long time.
Yan Junze stood in the corner, first looked around, and after confirming that there was no one there, he turned and walked up the steps of house No. 39.
This kind of steps are still made of stone, and they are very firm to step on.
After taking a few steps to the door, without unlocking it, he stepped directly through the broken door panel and got in.
After standing still, Yan Junze turned his head and looked in the direction of the street through the door panel. No one passed by, and it was very quiet.
He turned around, turned on the flashlight, lowered the light of the flashlight, and walked into the house.
In this kind of old-fashioned building built in the countryside before, the outer room is used as a spare room for the facade. It is usually vacant, only a few stools are placed inside, and there is no other furniture.
Yan Junze quickly walked through the empty room, and there was a musty smell in the air.
Fortunately, he was wearing a mask, and he had expected that there would be no sunshine all day long, and the air must be bad.
I looked at this house outside during the day. It is a three-story self-built house that has been in disrepair for a long time, and the outer walls have fallen off in many places.
The stairs going upstairs are also narrow. Yan Junze came to the stairs and shined them with a flashlight, and found that the stairs were covered with moss.
Obviously the room is damp.
But if you look closely, the corner of the stairs also extends downward.
That is to say, there is also a basement in this building.
Standing for a while, Yan Junze was thinking whether to go up or down.
According to the mission description, Ye Zhennan, who has been hanged, is still dangling under the beams of the house. But it didn't specify which layer it was, which made Yan Junze feel embarrassed.
Use a flashlight to illuminate the direction of the basement. It seems that the inside is darker, not as bright as upstairs, at least part of the moonlight can still penetrate above the second floor, which is much stronger than the basement.
"Where does a person usually choose when he chooses the place to hang himself?"
Yan Junze stood at the stairs pondering. At this moment, the surroundings were dead silent, and there was no sound.
He wanted to put himself in the heart of the woman who wanted to die. If he must want to die without being discovered and save himself, he must choose a place where few people go to hang himself.
So it seems that only the basement seems to be suitable for some.
Raising the flashlight and shining it on the second floor, Yan Junze gave up going upstairs and chose to go directly to the basement.
Obviously, the stairs leading to the basement are even more slippery, and a lot of green moss is covered under the feet, and these self-built houses do not even repair the guardrails on the stairs leading to the basement in order to save money.
Yan Junze supported the wall with only one hand, and moved down carefully step by step.
As long as you don’t just slide down on the ground like a wild goose on the flat sand, it’s better to spend a little time to land safely.
So he barely made any noise as he went downstairs.
The flashlight shone on the slippery steps, and when I stepped down to about half of the stairs in the basement, suddenly there was a strange noise from upstairs.
This sound is a bit similar to the extremely tight sound of a rope being tightened, and it is especially ear-piercing in this silent late night.
Yan Junze was stunned for a moment: "Did you guess wrong? This woman didn't hang herself in the basement, but upstairs?"
However, from where he stood, he could only vaguely judge that the sound came from upstairs, but he didn't know whether it was the second floor or the third floor.
Do you want to go up and have a look?
Yan Junze hesitated for a moment, then denied it.
Since the stairs are halfway down, it’s not too late to look at the basement before going up.
Just as he was about to continue going down the stairs, Yan Junze stopped suddenly.
Because he heard voices coming from upstairs just now, he subconsciously shone the flashlight upwards.
And at this moment the light of his flashlight has just been retracted from above.
But the moment it was retracted, a pair of feet appeared at the corner of the first floor, a pair of feet wearing white women's leather shoes. Next to the feet, there is a rope as thick as a finger.
Thanks to Manjuan Shuye, Cangtian Xixue Jinyihou, Leng Yuexin, Fat Meow Climbing a Tree, Yansheng Baisheng, book friend 20170409212128653, book friend 20190426170439110 for the reward!
About the last chapter, some book friends said that the system did not prompt the end, but no one found that the system only reminded the protagonist to draw the hatred of the hated mother-in-law, and did not release the task of destroying the hated mother-in-law? The seven-day protection time was only mentioned by Zhang Xiaomo, so the system will not prompt. And what important thing the protagonist has forgotten, this is the key. Cough cough, first allow me to hold back. It is possible that some book lovers will guess. Also, don't care about the inconsistency between the chapter name and the task name, I don't want to.
