MTL - The Heartthrob Protagonist Just Wants To Monopolize Me-Chapter 98 (Snooping (15)
Ye Chen looked at the empty elevator, the muscles on his face trembled.
From the disappearance of Uncle Zhang, to the lock of the courtyard door, the opening of the dormitory door, to the disappearance of the two bodyguards...
In the whole process, there was no opponent, no language to laugh at, but he still felt a deep teasing.
Seeing that Ji Mingxia's hand was still on the elevator button, Ye Chen pulled Ji Mingxia over: "Don't approach this, let's find the stairs."
After speaking, Ye Chen pulled Ji Mingxia back slowly, until the elevator door closed again, and the surroundings fell into darkness again, Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief and walked away from the elevator together with Ji Mingxia.
The two bypassed the elevator and wandered in the dormitory building.
The cool dormitory building is dark and silent, and the light of the flashlight can only illuminate the road in front of you.
Dense darkness enveloped the two of them, and the footsteps clacked loudly, each sound was heavy and finely pressing on the hearts of Ji Mingxia and Ye Chen.
Time passed little by little, and Ye Chen walked forward anxiously.
, the location of the stairs has not yet been found.
Just when Ye Chen couldn't help but prepare to do something, suddenly, a door appeared in front of them.
Dark brown wooden door, black door lock and handle, looks ordinary, nothing unusual.
"This should be...the door of one of the suites on the first floor..." Ye Chen said.
After walking for so long, I didn't find the elevator, but saw a door head-on, which made everyone feel weird.
However, what is even more strange is that in the next moment, there was a small "click" sound, and in front of Ji Mingxia and Ye Chen, the door lock was so lightly and automatically opened.
The door was unlocked, but the door did not move, standing there quietly, as if waiting for Ji Mingxia and Ye Chen to open the door and enter.
Ye Chen frowned, and quickly pulled Ji Mingxia back a step: "If there is an abnormality, don't go in."
Only the third floor of the whole building lives with Ye Tian, and the second floor is empty.
Even if the door is open, it is meaningless to enter, and it is easy to fall into the trap.
Ye Chen said: "Let's go to the third floor as soon as possible."
Speaking, he protected Ji Mingxia behind him and took Ji Mingxia away again.
Ye Chen's experience in spirituality is far inferior to Ji Mingxia, but in his heart, Ji Mingxia is a guest, and he is younger than him, so he has an obligation to protect Ji Mingxia.
Not waiting for Ji Mingxia to react, Ye Chen immediately took Ji Mingxia away from the opposite direction.
The surroundings seemed to be surrounded by thick black mist, the light of the flashlight could not penetrate, and the visible range was only less than half a meter away.
Ye Chen took Ji Mingxia, as if rushing through a twisted dark space.
A few minutes later, when another door appeared in front of them, blocking their way, with a "click", the door lock was opened, as if waiting for them to enter , Ye Chen's face changed slightly, and he couldn't hold his breath: "What is it trying to do, tease people, and trap us here?"
The door stood silently in front, except for the sound of the door lock being opened, there was no other movement around.
Ye Chen lost his patience. He gritted his teeth and took a step back. After a few seconds, he decided to take Ji Mingxia away first and continue to find a way out.
At this time, Ji Mingxia, who had not spoken, said, "Ye Chen, let's go in and have a look."
"No, there must be danger inside." Ye Chen immediately refused.
Said, "The passage upstairs should be hidden. If we don't go in and take a look, we will be trapped forever."
Ye Chen obviously understood this, he glanced at Ji Mingxia and said, "Then I'll go in, you wait for me outside."
Ji Mingxia naturally felt the meaning of Ye Chen's care.
He said: "I came here to help you, not to drag you down. Let's go in together. If you encounter danger, leave me alone. I have the ability to protect myself."
Ji Mingxia said so, but Ye Chen didn't say any more.
There is no news from his family, and he has been trapped for so long, Ye Chen has long been impatient.
An orange light lit from the room.
The warm tones shone brightly, making Ji Mingxia and Ye Chen see the scene in the room at a glance.
Ji Mingxia opened her eyes in surprise.
study?
Huge mahogany bookshelves cover two walls and are staggered with books and decorative objects.
Under the central landscape painting, the desk is located in the middle of the room, with pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and a wooden photo frame, which seems to store a group photo.
In the quaint and ancient rhythm, the green vegetation on the left and right sides of the desk is more and more suitable.
Ji Mingxia looked at the study for unknown reasons, not understanding the meaning of its appearance, and Ye Chen, who was standing beside him, couldn't hide his surprise.
Ye Chen murmured, "Why is this study here..."
"Do you recognize this study?" Seeing that there was no danger around him, Ji Mingxia immediately asked.
Ye Chen nodded: "This layout is exactly the same as the study in the Ye family's old house."
"The study in the Ye family's old house?" Ji Mingxia asked.
Seeing that there is no danger around, they walked to the desk together.
Ji Mingxia's eyes were suddenly attracted by the group photo on the table.
This is a large group photo of two families, there are a total of six people in the photo, two middle-aged couples are standing in the back, and three children are standing in the front.
They appear to be at a masked banquet scene, dressed seriously and grotesquely.
Ye Chen stood beside Ji Mingxia, saw Ji Mingxia's eyes on the group photo, and introduced: "This is an old photo from many years ago, I was still in elementary school at that time, Ye Chen Not long after Tian was born..."
Ye Chen pointed at the little boy holding the child in the photo: "This is me and Ye Tian, the two standing behind me are my parents."
Ji Mingxia nodded, Ye Chen and Ye Tian looked very similar to her parents, just by looking at the photos, you could recognize the four of them as a family at a glance.
He looked away from the Ye family unconsciously and stopped on the three strangers.
"These two are Uncle Ding and Aunt Ding. This child is their only son and my good friend Ding Jialin." Ye Chen said.
It turns out that this couple is Uncle Ding and Aunt Ding that Ye Tian mentioned before.
When Ji Mingxia looked at the three people in the photo, a strange feeling arose in her heart.
When the photo was taken, the Ding family just didn't look at the camera, both of them only showed half of their faces, and their only son Ding Jialin, although facing the camera, just happened to be holding it in his hand The mask he was wearing covered most of his face, and only one eye and one mouth came out.
Ji Mingxia didn't know any of these three people, and had never seen them before, but for some reason, looking at their photos, there was a very familiar feeling.
"Are you attending a masquerade party?" Ji Mingxia asked.
"Almost." Ye Chen looked at the study and said casually, "It was Ding Jialin's birthday that day. He likes clowns and magicians. We wanted to surprise him, so we played around a bit."
Ye Chen said, and suddenly walked to the green vegetation beside the desk: "I remember."
Ji Mingxia was still staring at the photo, looking for the weird feeling in his heart, but now hearing Ye Chen's words, he suppressed his curiosity and turned to look at him.
Ye Chen stared at the green vegetation and frowned: "This restores the study of the Ye family's old house, but it is not the current study."
"When was that?" Ji Mingxia asked.
"A dozen years ago, about the same time as this photo." Ye Chen looked at the green vegetation in front of him, and said, "The decoration of the study has not changed for so many years, only plants There are some changes... These two plants were given by Uncle Ding and Aunt Ding. My father kept them for a while, but they died because of too much water, and they never planted them again..."
When Ji Mingxia heard the words, Ye Chen's attention was immediately diverted.
Someone restored the study of the Ye family's old house in the dormitory building, and it was a study more than ten years ago?
What is the point of doing this, and what is the purpose?
Ji Mingxia and Ye Chen were full of doubts, but they walked around the study several times, but couldn't find any more clues.
After confirming that there is no abnormality, the two had to leave for the time being.
Returning to the darkness again, Ji Mingxia and Ye Chen walked silently until they came to another door again.
With the experience just now, the two of them are not ambiguous at this moment. Seeing that the door has been opened, they open it again and walk in.
The white light shines brightly, this time, it is no longer a study, but a spacious kitchen.
In the kitchen, there are many kitchen utensils and tableware. Ji Mingxia noticed that the Ye family obviously has obsessive-compulsive disorder. They should be the bowls and chopsticks of the four people in the family, but there seem to be more pink ones, almost enough for two Ye Tian.
Ji Mingxia immediately looked at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen's voice was a little difficult: "This is also... the kitchen of the Ye family's old house many years ago. These tableware were used when I was in elementary school, and I have never used this one again."
The kitchen is the same as the study, except that it is built exactly the same as the Ye family's old house, there is no other abnormality.
But neither Ji Mingxia nor Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
This strange situation is not much better than encountering a ghost directly. With full of doubts, Ji Mingxia and Ye Chen quit again.
Then they opened several doors in succession, without exception, all of them copied the scene of Ye's old house many years ago, from the study kitchen to the cloakroom toy room, etc., all presented one by one.
After half an hour, Ji Mingxia and Ye Chen came to a door again.
With another click, the door lock automatically opened in front of Ji Mingxia and Ye Chen.
Ye Chen looked at several rooms in the Ye family's old house in a row, and his face was a little numb at this moment. He stretched out his hand and was about to open the door when he heard Ji Mingxia suddenly say, "Wait!"
Ye Chen looked at Ji Mingxia reflexively.
Ji Mingxia stared at the door in front of him, her heartbeat speeding up unconsciously, and even a thin layer of sweat broke out from the cold palms of her nervousness.
His mysterious and mysterious sixth sense has always been very accurate. Ji Mingxia didn't dare to be careless and said in a low voice, "Ye Chen, which door are we opening?"
"Which number is it?" Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, and took stock in his heart, "The sixth one."
"Your Ye family's old house, what other places have not been shown?" Ji Mingxia asked again.
Ye Chen thought for a moment: "The living room, but the living room of the old house is very big, it should be difficult to copy, what's wrong?"
Ji Mingxia is also searching for why his sixth sense appeared at this time.
He pushed back and said slowly: "Although there is no concept of space after entering here, but according to the original architectural structure, this dormitory building has a total of three floors, each There are two suites on the floor, so there are six doors in total.”
Ye Chen was startled for a moment, and immediately understood what Ji Mingxia meant.
If you ignore the space, then this sixth door should be Ye Tian's room door.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen became a little more solemn. The hand that was going to open the door was immediately withdrawn and replaced with a baton.
But at this moment, I heard a "squeak", stopped when no one moved, and the door was automatically pushed open.
