Quick Transmigration: I Actually Became a System Bug

In addition, Ji Han and the others also found a number of wooden puzzle pieces inside the candlesticks on both sides of the wall. According to the coordinates of the eight characters in the marriage certificate, they inlaid the wooden puzzle pieces into the surfaces of the corresponding hidden compartments.

"Click!"

That was the sound of the hidden compartment being unlocked. Immediately, a small drawer popped out from the side of the incense table, inside which was a contract of servitude—the contract of servitude for today's bride.

Xiao Ke quickly picked up the indenture, and after confirming that there was no other information, he handed it to Ji Han. Ji Han took it and carefully put it in his sleeve pocket.

Having found the indenture, the next step was to leave the house. Just then, a loud banging came from the entrance of the ancestral hall by a servant of the Wang family, making escape through the door impossible.

With no other option, everyone had to hurry and search the ancestral hall again, hoping to find and open the entrance to the secret room as quickly as possible.

Ji Han glanced up and saw the half-burnt red candle he had brought with him. Then, as if he had thought of something,

"Everyone, let's try lighting the candles on the wall!"

Xiao Ke was the first to stand up again. Regardless of whether others agreed or not, after Ji Han finished speaking, he was the first to run to the incense table and pick up the matchbox on it.

Ji Han then picked up the red candle and joined the others in surrounding Xiao Ke.

Xiao Ke first lit the candle in Ji Han's hand, and then walked to the nearest candlestick on the wall. Luckily, the first white candle was lit smoothly. At the same time, Ji Han also lit a white candle on the other side.

However, just as Ji Han and Xiao Ke lit the second white candle, something unexpected happened. The flames on their side went out instantly, extinguished by the water mist sprayed from above the candlesticks.

Sure enough, things weren't that simple. Therefore, Ji Han and his team had to find something to block the water mist before proceeding with the next step.

As it turned out, the ancestral hall was too spacious. Inside, besides tables, chairs, benches, ancestral tablets, and paintings on the walls, tables and chairs were the first thing to be eliminated, mainly because solid wood ones would be too heavy to lift.

The ancestral tablets were too small, so all that was left to use were the ancestral portraits hanging on both sides. Ji Han and the others took down the portraits one by one. There were six candlesticks in total. Apart from Ji Han and Xiao Ke, each of them could protect one candlestick.

The white candles were quickly lit again. This time, when the third and fourth candles were lit, the water mist sprayed out and the first two candles were not extinguished. Ji Han and the other person quickly went to the last two candlesticks and lit the white candles inside.

The candles lit smoothly as usual, but when the last two candles were lit, a large amount of water mist, or rather, water, suddenly sprayed out from above the previous candlesticks.

This gave Sun Meng and his companions, who were protecting the first few candles, an instant "wet temptation," and the candlesticks they were protecting were extinguished again due to this sudden change.

The third candle-lighting operation is about to begin. This time, everyone is fully prepared. Sun Meng and the others even abandoned the portrait and prepared to use their bodies to shield the candles below. Now, they can keep the candles burning even if they are splashed with water or a basin.

Ji Han and Xiao Ke quickly ran through the entire process again, lighting the three white candles on each side in turn. This time, there were no unexpected problems. After the six candlesticks lit up simultaneously for 15 seconds, an entrance suddenly appeared under the memorial tablet in front of them.
