Today I was entangled by non-humans again

It's actually quite convenient to get in.

At first, Sheng Jue thought that he was going to open some barrier or read some spells, but Xue Qisi went forward and pushed the door, and then turned around to tell him to follow.

The decoration of the house was different from what Sheng Jue had imagined. There was no dim light, no fake blood stains stuck to the walls, and no weird music that exaggerated the horror atmosphere. Instead, there was only a Republic-style home layout.But after thinking about it, this is an examination room and not a haunted house, and the world that the contestants usually see must be a hundred times scarier than a haunted house.

When you first walked in, it was like entering an ordinary house.

Sheng Jue didn't know whether it was because the ghost hadn't appeared yet, or because he didn't dare to appear after seeing Xue Qisi. Anyway, he followed Xue Qisi firmly, not daring to lag behind.

Xue Qisi first found out the candidates according to the several rooms shown in the surveillance.

There are still 21 candidates staying in the examination room, plus the three who are missing, they are looking for a total of [-] people.There are three floors in the examination room. Including bedrooms, kitchens and bathrooms, there are about [-] rooms in total. The candidates are also scattered.Fortunately, they didn't dare to run around after being attacked. Xue Qisi quickly found eleven of them on the first and second floors, and sent them out through the window.

There were invigilators outside the house to meet them, and the twelve candidates left sadly.

Sheng Jue couldn't help but said, "Is it that simple? They won't be lying to you, right?"

Xue Qisi also felt that the action was a bit too easy, and his eyes could not help falling to the third floor. Before he could move, a candidate rolled down the stairs and fell at Xue Qisi's feet, with some blood on his body , fortunately, there is no need to worry about life.

Sheng Jue was taken aback, and quickly hid behind Xue Qisi.

The examinee didn't know whether it was because he was injured or because he fell to his head, and fell unconscious on the ground. Xue Qisi knelt down, checked his breathing, and checked his injuries before quietly injecting a trace of purple air. Instantly woke up coughing.

"Xue, examiner Xue..." The examinee struggled to get up, "Why are you here?"

Xue Qisi said: "We found out that you had an accident from the monitoring, so we rushed over here. Next time you encounter danger, you must remember that safety is the most important thing, and you can't be brave just because you are worried about the exam."

The examinee said with a bitter face: "Some of us wanted to go out, but for some reason, the door couldn't be opened, and the people who went out through the window disappeared."

Sheng Jue interjected, "But Mr. Xue sent twelve people out just now, and the other invigilators took over, so there was no obstacle."

There was a moment of blankness on the examinee's face, and he frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.

However, Xue Qisi noticed what the examinee said: "You said that some examinee went out? When did it happen?"

The examinee said: "Just ten minutes ago, we didn't know what was attacking us at that time. Two people were afraid of accidents, so they jumped out of the window."

Xue Qisi asked, "Where is the window from?"

The examinee said: "We didn't dare to jump on the third floor. We jumped out from the leftmost window on the second floor. There is a shelf for cushioning. But the two of them disappeared suddenly as soon as they went out, as if they were swallowed by the void." Yes, the rest of the people did not dare to follow. In order to avoid those attacks, we ran to the third floor again."

Xue Qisi said: "How many people are there on the third floor?"

The examinee said: "I don't know, I only met three or four."

They sent out eleven before, plus the two who jumped out of the window, there are five left, the number is right.

Xue Qisi said: "I understand, I will send you out first."

When the candidate heard the words, he showed embarrassment: "But those two candidates..."

Sheng Jue said: "If you are worried, then let Teacher Xue send you out through the gate."

The examinee was still a little hesitant, but he wanted to go out after all, and knowing that Xue Qisi was the most capable examiner in public, he finally followed him to the gate on the ground floor. He was not obstructed when he opened the door, and there were people outside to answer him. The examinee ran out with relief.

Xue Qisi and Sheng Jue stepped up the stairs to the third floor.

"There should be Han Shouyan, Lifeng, Ling Jianfei, who else is left now?" Sheng Jue followed behind Xue Qisi, finger by finger.

Xue Qisi said: "Judging from the list, the remaining one is called Li Jiang. However, the candidate just said that two people jumped out and disappeared, and we have to look for the three missing candidates before."

As soon as the words fell, Sheng Jue let out a scream.

Before Xue Qisi could make a move, Sheng Jue kicked a round thing flying out.

Xue Qisi: "..."

Sheng Jue clutched his chest in shock, the other hand firmly grasped Xue Qisi's sleeve, and looked towards his feet, only to see a dummy without a head was quietly falling at his feet, and just now The thing he kicked out was obviously the dummy's head, and now it hit the wall not far away, and fell to the ground with a bang.

"I, I just felt something grabbing my feet." Sheng Jue tremblingly said.

Xue Qisi kicked the dummy with his toe, and said with a smile: "He has no chance to catch you again."

Sheng Jue swallowed, and then calmed down: "Why is there a dummy in this kind of house, is it specially used to scare people?"

Xue Qisi motioned him to look at the dummy, and said: "Look, it has no legs, it should be used by the original owner to hang clothes. But your kick just now was cruel enough, if this is a real person, maybe Kicked and disabled by you."

Sheng Jue curled his lips and said, "I'm too scared. Then why did it come here? And the clothes are gone."

Xue Qisi shook his head.

The most urgent task is to find the remaining people, Sheng Jue didn't get too entangled with the dummy, but stepped over cautiously, for fear that the dummy would catch him again.

According to the examinee just now, the unknown attack object should still be on the third floor.

But Xue Qisi found it very strange that he didn't feel any strange aura on the third floor, whether it was a demon or a ghost.He took Sheng Jue to search from room to room, but did not find the so-called remaining four people.

Don't tell others, based on his understanding of Lifeng and Han Shouyan, these two people are very strong and will never give up halfway, so they must still be in the house.But he couldn't find these two people. Xue Qisi frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly he had a flash of inspiration and thought of a very reasonable but terrifying possibility.

——They are indeed still in the house, but they are not in the same space anymore.

There must be clues in this house that he didn't discover in public.

Because he didn't know how serious the situation was, Xue Qisi didn't want to waste time, and directly released the purple air, covering the entire third floor.The efficiency of this method is really high, and the effect is remarkable. Even Sheng Jue saw something wrong. It was a room at the left end of the third floor, and there was a cloud of black mist on the ceiling.

The black mist seemed to be forced to have nowhere to go by the purple qi, and it huddled pitifully into a ball, but because it couldn't be purified for a while, it hovered around the small area of ​​the one-acre three-point field.

"Is there a small attic above here?" Sheng Jue asked suddenly.

Xue Qisi took a closer look, and after seeing the black mist, there was an extremely inconspicuous gap near the chandelier.Xue Qisi looked around for a while, and finally found a clothes pole from the next room, held it up high, and poked the gap.

There was only a "click", as if some mechanism had been activated.

Xue Qisi hurriedly pulled Sheng Jue back outside the door.

In the next second, the ceiling where the gap was located fell heavily and hit the ground, raising patches of dust.Sheng Jue waved his hand, put aside the dust in front of him, frowned and looked over there, and found that a wooden ladder was gradually revealed from the dust, it was hanging straight down from the ceiling, connecting to the hidden attic above.

"Will they be on it?" Sheng Jue asked in a low voice.

Xue Qisi shook his head, expressing that he was not sure, but it seemed that there was no danger at the moment, so he asked Sheng Jue to hide behind him, and walked cautiously to the wooden ladder.He wanted to go up and have a look, but the moment his fingertips touched the wooden ladder, the surrounding environment changed instantly.

Xue Qisi immediately withdrew his hand, but they did not return to the original room.

Sheng Jue also looked at the surrounding environment.

He found that although they seemed to have come to another place, they still seemed to be in the original room, but the layout of the room had changed a lot, as if... they had come to the same room in another time and space.There are many furnishings in the room that are almost the same as what Sheng Jue saw before, only updated and not damaged.

"us……"

"This is 80 years ago." Xue Qisi interrupted Sheng Jue's question.

"80 years ago?" Sheng Jue was surprised.

Xue Qisi said: "I didn't tell you before that this old house was borrowed for this exam, and the exam questions are also related to the events that happened in this old house."

Eighty years ago, during the period of the Republic of China, this village was still very prosperous.

And the owner of this ancient house is a well-known local squire, a rich man, the people at the bottom of the mountain depend on him to live, pay rent on time every month, and live a very good life.

Until, the war spread here.

At that time, the owner's family name was Qian, and he had only one son. The daughter-in-law he married was a young lady from a scholarly family, and they gave birth to a pair of lovely children.It's a pity that the son was drafted into the army before the young couple lived a few more years.At that time, Mr. Qian wanted to use his family wealth to avoid conscription, but unfortunately something went wrong. Not only did he fail to save his son, but Mr. Qian himself was taught a lesson by the chief of the officers and soldiers, and he fell seriously ill.

Mr. Qian was physically and mentally injured, and since then he has been ill, and has no choice but to hand over the management of the property to a shrewd and capable housekeeper.

The housekeeper is a young man in his thirties, the son of the old housekeeper. He grew up in the old house and almost became the half son of Master Qian.It was also because Master Qian trusted him that he handed over his family's property to manage it on his behalf.

Perhaps it was because he had disguised himself so well that no one discovered his wolfish ambitions.

He fell in love with the Qian family's young mistress at first sight as early as the second day she married, but because of his status, he didn't dare to show his infidelity.Young Master Qian was conscripted, Master Qian was sick in bed, and the Qian family's property had already been acquired, so the housekeeper no longer had to hide his wolfish ambitions.
