Chapter 12 Box

With a preliminary analysis of the case, their current search is more targeted.

The fat man always stuck close to Jiang Cheng. Fan Li thought his huge body blocked his sight and called him several times, but the fat man just pretended not to understand and there was nothing others could do to him.

Soon, they made a discovery in the master bedroom.

There is a solid wood picture frame hanging on the wall next to the bed, and there is an old photo in the picture frame.

The photo looked like it had been soaked by water, and the surrounding area had turned yellow. Only the center could clearly see a family of four standing together.

The host and hostess stood in the middle. The hostess held her hands on the shoulders of a girl with two pigtails. The girl stood obediently in front of her mother.

The other girl, who looked taller and more rebellious, had her trousers and cuffs rolled up, revealing what appeared to be traces of tattoos on her slender wrists.

She stood beside the man, her chin held high.

It seems that this is a family of four living in the villa.

But the strange thing is that each of their faces is very blurry, and the background of the photo is also blurry, making it impossible to tell where they were when the photo was taken.

Chen Xiaomeng was stunned when she looked at the photo, and then suddenly became excited, "I remember that this photo didn't exist in the morning, and the wall was blank!"

Sister Nuan acted relatively calmly and explained that this was normal, as if it was commonplace, and that such things often happened in the dream world.

"It should be that we found some correct clues and then triggered the next stage of the plot," Fan Li said.

Jiang Cheng looked at him sideways, "Like the stage rewards in the game?"

"almost."

Next, they found a pair of pliers in the room where Xie Yu's body was found. Next to the pliers was a flat, round iron box, like the kind used to hold jelly beans.

The fat man picked up the iron box and shook it, and a clattering sound came from inside.

"what?"

Just when he stretched out his two chubby hands to unscrew the box, Jiang Cheng grabbed him. While grabbing the fat man, he stared at the pliers, his expression gradually becoming weird.

"What's wrong?" The fat man was a little scared for no reason.

Jiang Cheng's expression slowly returned to calmness, and he continued: "It's nothing. It suddenly occurred to me that there might be some clues in the bedroom. I'll go take a look first."

"Oh, okay," the fat man nodded. He originally wanted to go with Jiang Cheng, but he couldn't help but was curious about what was in the box.

Just three seconds after Jiang Cheng left, Fatty finally unscrewed the box.

His eyes changed from the initial curiosity to doubt, then bulged a little bit, and finally until they were about to fall out of their sockets, "Ah! Ah!"

When Jiang Cheng came in with his ears blocked, the fat man could no longer scream. Fan Li was covering his mouth and dragging the trembling fat man aside in disgust.

Jiang Cheng probed his head and found that the box was upside down on the ground, with a few small milky white objects scattered around the box.

"Sure enough, it's teeth," Jiang Cheng said with a look on his face that I guessed correctly and nodded.

Fan Li and Sister Nuan seemed to have already guessed what was in the box, so they didn't have any surprised expressions on their faces. However, Chen Xiaomeng's face was pale and her teeth seemed to be chattering.

"Sure enough, there is nothing good about men," Sister Nuan said coldly, "They are all beasts!"

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng raised his head and looked at Fan Li.

Fan Li was stunned for a moment, then said dissatisfied: "What do you think I am doing?"

Jiang Cheng had no choice but to do the next best thing and turned to look at the fat man in the corner. Unexpectedly, he met the latter's resentful gaze. Jiang Cheng touched his chin and looked away with embarrassment.

There were no clues nearby. Jiang Cheng suggested looking behind the door on the third floor. Fan Li stopped him and pointed out the window.

It's already dark.

Darkness is coming again.

It was not a wise choice to explore an unknown area at night, so after discussion, everyone decided to stop the search and go back to rest.

Fatty originally thought that because of what happened last night, everyone would sleep together tonight for safety reasons.

Unexpectedly, Sister Nuan not only had no such intention, but also kicked Fan Li out.

The door closed with a bang.

Fan Li stood in front of the master bedroom door holding a quilt, like a homeless husband who had been kicked out of the house.

There was also a floral pillow on his shoulder.

"It's okay, big brother," the fat man comforted, "you can come and sleep in our room."

"No need, you sleep in your bed, I'll sleep downstairs." After saying that, Fan Lizhen carried the quilt and pillow and went downstairs. The sound of footsteps could be heard on the stairs.

Jiang Cheng turned around and got into the previous bedroom. The fat man thought about it and followed him.

After Jiang Cheng walked into the bedroom, he first turned on all the lights, and then leaned against the door, as if listening to what was going on outside.

After a while, Jiang Cheng slowly retreated, walked to the sofa, and sat down.

"Brother, are we still staying here tonight?" The fat man's face was ashen and he couldn't help but glance under the bed. He remembered that the ghost came out from under this bed last night.

"Of course not, I'll go to the study later." Jiang Cheng said very straightforwardly.

"I am coming too!"

About 10 minutes later, it was completely dark outside the window. Jiang Cheng looked at the watch on his wrist, then stood up, walked to the door and opened it gently.

Then he walked quietly to another room, slowly pushed the door open, and ducked in.

The fat man was right behind him.

After closing the door, the two of them found a chair and sat down. The fat man wanted to turn on the light, but Jiang Cheng stopped him.

The fat man looked at the darkness around him, sweating continuously, and couldn't help but said: "You'd better let me turn on the light, otherwise I feel like there are ghosts everywhere."

Jiang Cheng no longer insisted this time and nodded: "Okay"

The fat man moved his body and finally touched a switch on the wall. Just when he was about to press it, Jiang Cheng's voice came from behind, "Now the ghost won't have to worry about finding you."

""

In the master bedroom, on the bed.

Chen Xiaomeng was holding a pillow and sobbing softly.

The ghosts in this mission were much more bizarre and terrifying than the ones in her previous mission.

When she thought of those horrific tools and the teeth in the box, her body kept trembling.

Sister Nuan was sitting on the sofa, her eyes not as arrogant as at first. This cute girl Chen Xiaomeng reminded her of her past self.

"Okay, don't cry," she comforted, "You should be able to tell that the ghosts in this villa are targeting men. After driving away Fan Li, we will be safe."

Chen Xiaomeng raised her head, her eyes red, "Aren't the remaining three people very dangerous?"

"Stop talking nonsense. It's good to be able to protect yourself during the mission. How can you care about others?" Sister Nuan glanced at the door, as if thinking of something bad, her face became ugly, and then she He turned his head, paused, and continued: "And in the dream world, you have to be careful not only of ghosts, but also of the people around you."
