Chapter 45 Who is knocking on the coffin?
Putting a coffin in the house is really scary.
Ji Hanxin said that the game copy is getting more and more outrageous. Isn't it a risk to defeat monsters and upgrade? Why is the style of painting gradually developing in the direction of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp"?
Moreover, this is a game, not the real world, and all kinds of unreasonable things may appear.
Looking at the shadow of the coffin on the wall inside the house, Eggplant couldn't help but complain:
"Aren't you talking about looking for something? Why do you feel like we are a bit like tomb robbers?"
Chen Ke leaned towards everyone and said:
"I think so. This owner seems to be unusual."
"Okay, don't make a fuss. It's just two coffins. Respect the deceased. It'll be fine."
With that said, Song Qian took the lead and gently opened the door and continued:
"There is no other way. No matter what is left, we must continue to search. Anyway, there are so many of us that there is no need to be afraid."
These words not only comfort everyone, but also comfort myself.
The four of them walked into the nearest west wing one by one. After entering the room, they found that there was nothing here except the necessary furniture: bed, wardrobe, table and chairs.
Except for the two coffins parked side by side in the center of the room.
The four people silently gathered around and observed it. It was indeed a black lacquered coffin made of normal wood.
Chen Ke also clasped his hands and said: "Excuse me, no offense intended."
Looking at the furnishings in the house, Ji Han speculated:
"This may be the room where the coffin is kept."
Since they were sure there were no clues, everyone came out and walked to the east wing opposite.
But as soon as the door was opened, the four of them frowned together.
There are also two coffins parked in this room.
"Brother Ji, if there are two coffins in each room, it won't be called a coffin morgue. It should be called a morgue, right?"
The four of them bravely walked into the house, which had almost the same configuration as the west wing: simple furniture and a pair of black lacquer coffins.
This is indeed too weird. Who would place a pair of coffins in their living room?
Now only the main house is left unsearched.
Eggplant leaned against the door frame, lit a cigarette, and said with a wry smile:
"Looking at the state, the main house probably has the same configuration. Isn't this a coffin maker?"
Ji Han waved his hand and said, "You can also make coffins and store them all in one room. Putting two of them in one room like this is really scary. I can't think of any reason."
Chen Ke continued: "In order to scare people? Is it possible to get hemorrhoids like this?"
Ji Hanxin said it was nothing, the guy who played this scary game really deserved hemorrhoids.
"Okay, let's go to the main room and take a look first."
The four of them came outside the main house. Eggplant shined a flashlight through the window and could indeed see two coffins placed in the main house.
As soon as I walked into the house, I saw that there were a lot of furniture here.
The desks, matching chairs, and the Duobao pavilions on both sides are all made of wood, but they are empty and covered with a thick layer of dust.
Song Qian walked into the side room to search, but there was just an extra bed here.
After a simple search, let alone any text content, there seems to be nothing suspicious.
"Hey, come here and take a look at this."
Listening to Eggplant's voice, several people gathered over and saw that he was holding a piece of white paper that had just been opened in his hand.
When I shined the flashlight, I saw various buildings drawn on the white paper, including pavilions, small buildings, and towers, but they were all just simple outlines.
It was drawn with a pen, and it seemed to be drawn very casually, but it probably wasn't something very old.
"Where was this found?"
Eggplant pointed to the space between Duobao Pavilion and the chair and said:
"There, it probably fell accidentally while packing things, so it wasn't discovered."
Although the things in the paintings did not give people any information, at least they made some discoveries and encouraged everyone.
But the subsequent search found nothing else.
Ji Han sighed: "It's too clean, as if it had been cleaned by a cleaning lady."
Song Qian nodded: "It seems that someone has cleaned up the things here in advance."
Chen Ke was a little happy when he heard this:
"Great, it looks like there's nothing else found, so can we go?"
Seeing Chen Ke urging everyone to leave, Ji Han always thought of Zhu Bajie in "Journey to the West" who would break up and return to Gao Laozhuang whenever something happened.
However, Song Qian still didn't give up and went to the yard to search again.
Ji Han also followed. After all, he knew this cheating game too well, and there was no way he could just come back and go back easily.
But there was nothing to search for in the yard.
Chen Ke and Eggplant also cooperated and started knocking around, but they still didn't find anything like a secret passage mechanism.
After a while, the four people who found nothing returned to the main room and sat on chairs to rest.
Song Qian said unwillingly: "It seems that this time it will indeed be in vain."
Ji Han shook his head and said:
"Don't jump to conclusions so early. There's still a place we haven't searched for yet."
"where?"
Ji Han pursed his lips towards the two coffins parked in the center of the hall.
The other three people naturally understood what Ji Han meant.
The entire yard, three houses, and all places have been searched, except for the two coffins placed in each house, but what can be found here?
"No, Brother Ji, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
Eggplant took a puff of cigarette and asked: "Xiao Ji, are you sure you can gain something from driving this thing?"
"I can't say for sure, but judging from the coffins I've seen parked, there are still big problems with these coffins."
"oh?"
"The coffin is not placed directly on the ground. There are two stools underneath. The superstitious saying is that kicking the stools down when lifting the coffin will bless the family's safety and wealth. The scientific explanation is that the coffin is prone to moisture and dirt when placed on the ground.
Rats attacked, so they were erected, and these six coffins were placed directly on the ground like tables. This is also very unreasonable for coffins to be suspended."
Song Qian continued: "So Brother Han, do you think these coffins are not coffins at all?"
"It's hard to say, but if there is really a deceased person in the coffin, it is unlikely that it will be left here without being buried. It would also be disrespectful to the deceased. I guess the probability of the coffin being empty is greater."
When other people heard this, they also felt that it made some sense, and they had all driven here for a day. If they went back without finding anything, everyone would indeed be unhappy.
Song Qian actually wanted to open it and take a look, but hearing Ji Han's words gave her a lot of encouragement.
Chen Ke rummaged through his backpack and said:
"Brother Han, do you need to light a candle or something in the southeast corner of the house? See if the owner of the tomb agrees with us opening the coffin?"
"Have you read too many horror novels? Besides, that ritual is to find out whether the carbon dioxide concentration in the tomb is safe. We don't lack oxygen in the room, so what are we afraid of?"
"Hey, I'm not afraid of offending the owner of this coffin. What if someone..."
"Dong dong dong!"
A sudden knocking sound interrupted Chen Ke's words and startled everyone present.
The four of them stood up from their chairs with pale faces.
