Chapter 494: Tampering with Time
"Greedy and bloated..."
Tongguan silently wrote down these four words on the A4 paper, and turned the pen with his fingers, trying to find a breakthrough from this hint.
Chang Nian sat on the table, holding the blurred photo of Prisoner No. 3 in his hand, and said after thinking for a moment:
"From the previous experience of killing people and sewing corpses, the ability of Prisoner No. 2 is to kill one person and sew a human skin cage to imprison the victim;
Then this greedy and bloated belly, from the literal meaning, should be the attribute of the ghost is gluttony.
The victim died of bloating?"
Jie Zheng frowned and shook his head slightly, and came to the other side of Tongguan to put forward his own opinion:
"The case of Prisoner No. 2 cannot be used as a reference, because it is not a murderous ghost.
The description of Prisoner No. 3 is far less specific than killing people and sewing corpses. I suggest that Fan Ru get close to Prisoner No. 3 and observe the details."
Tongguan stood on the side of Jie Zheng this time. He was cautious by nature, and Jie Zheng's proposal was obviously more secure.
So, he stopped wasting time thinking and immediately told the hands-free phone:
"Sister Fan, turn on the camera now. I want to observe Room 3 closely."
...
Fan Ru was a little timid when she heard this at first, but the thought disappeared in a flash. She knew that if she didn't fight hard, she would die.
Without much hesitation, she turned on the front camera neatly, held the phone in her left hand and the high-intensity flashlight in her right hand, and walked into the dark room.
Room 3 is much hotter than Room 2.
Fan Ru twisted her neck uncomfortably when she entered the door. She remembered that all ghost places should be cold, but this wax museum was obviously very special.
She walked slowly, and first scanned the room with the phone camera, and finally fixed it in front.
Room 3 is no different from Room 2. It is also a small room of more than ten square meters.
The appearance of the four walls is the same, but the difference is that Room 2 has a stretcher and Room 3 has a set of tables and chairs.
"The room is affected by supernatural forces, visibility is very low, you must get as close to the chairs as possible.
It is the key to this room, you still have 16 minutes of safety time, do it boldly, don't hesitate!"
Tongguan's low and powerful voice came out clearly, the power of the words diluted the fear of the content, and made Fan Ru speed up.
She strode towards the table and chairs, while the flashlight and mobile phone were stretched out and pointed there.
Looking closer, it seemed to be a dining table, because it was covered with a clean white cloth, and there were even two unlit candles.
It's just that the candles have turned into two sticky wax muds, which look particularly disgusting.
On the table, in addition to the tablecloth and candles, there was only a dinner plate with a silver metal cover.
The light of the flashlight shone on it, strangely without any reflection, as if that thing was the culprit for the lack of light here.
In this room, in addition to the table and the things on the table, there were only bare chairs.
What really shocked Fan Ru was that she came to Room 3 twice, and what she saw was completely different.
The last time she came here to check it out, she saw a wax figure of a man in a suit sitting on the chair.
The wax figure had already peeled off, and there was wax mud all over the foot of the chair.
In addition, there was no dinner plate on the table except for the two candles that had not completely melted.
But now, there was no wax figure, but a strange dinner plate.
What was in it?
Fan Ru suddenly shuddered, took two steps back, and asked hurriedly:
"Brother Tong, the wax figure here is gone, and there is an extra plate. Is the ghost about to take action?"
Tong Guan on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, and then answered in a deep voice:
"It will soon, but there is still time.
The wax figure on the chair is gone, it is to make room for you;
The extra plate is also a dish prepared for you.
The crime of gluttony and bloating is applied to you, and it seems that your death will be exactly the same as this crime..."
Fan Ru stood alone in the empty room. She did not retreat again, but the panic that was suppressed in her heart gradually resurfaced.
Because this time, she smelled a fragrance...
The fragrance was like a hook, consciously drilling into her nasal cavity, arousing the instinctive desire of human appetite.
Her eyes fell on the silver metal cover, and she couldn't help but want to move forward to lift the cover to see what kind of human delicacy was inside.
But she woke up instantly and was afraid of what would happen next.
Perhaps it was because there was still some time before the murderous intent came, and the supernatural power was not strong.
But she knew very well that once the time came, she would not be able to resist the ending of "gluttony and swelling of the belly"!
...
"This time it can be confirmed that gluttony and swelling of the belly are completely acting on the victim Fan Ru.
The crime is equal to the method of killing, we must find a way to crack it as soon as possible!"
Tongguan's forehead was sweating, and the urgency of time and the number of ghosts made him more and more stressed.
Jie Zheng frowned and stared at the photo of prisoner No. 3 on the table, imagining the scene in his mind.
Everything in the room, if he was in it, which direction would he start from...
"Destroy that plate?"
Seeing that the three people fell silent, Hong Fu took two steps forward and said tentatively.
But this conjecture was immediately rejected by Jie Zheng:
"Destroying a dinner plate is equivalent to touching it directly or indirectly, which may lead to an early death like Prisoner No. 2."
Chang Nian's eyes flickered, and he had already pinched out the wrinkles in the photo. Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he suddenly said:
"Introduction card?"
These three words obviously escaped from the strange thing called "dinner plate", so they immediately attracted the attention of several people.
She looked at the few people eagerly, put down the photo in her hand, and said excitedly:
"I believe Tongguan's first judgment is correct. The introduction cards in each room must have special value.
The crime, which represents the method of killing, is an important point;
But do you think this ‘time of arrest’ is also another important key point? "
Tongguan's eyes flashed, and he quickly spread out several clear photos, all of which were images of introduction cards.
Chang Nian casually pointed to one and explained softly:
"For example, in this picture, Prisoner No. 6 was arrested on December 10, 1992.
Look at this picture again. Prisoner No. 14 was arrested on February 24, 2015...
What all the ghosts have in common is that they were all captured before today.
We said before that the Tang Dynasty Wax Museum is a prison for ghosts, but this is wrong.
Strictly speaking, it is just a prison where a killer wax figure is kept.
Therefore, every ghost here is real, but also fake!
It was created by a source ghost, the ghost boy.
So, if we modify the arrest time of each wax figure, can the false ghosts be wiped out? "
Chang Nian's voice became louder and louder, and she found that both Tongguan, Jie Zheng, and even Hong Fu became extremely excited after hearing this conjecture.
This strengthened her idea, so she pointed to the photo corresponding to Prisoner No. 3 and said word by word:
“Prisoner No. 3, arrest date: January 1, 2008…
We changed it to a random day after November 29, 2015, then this murderous monster should not exist! "
