In an escape game...

There was a wooden bed for resting in the study room. Yun Xubai tied "Jiao Huai" who had his hands and feet bound to the bed, and covered him with a quilt thoughtfully.

The mayor was unable to speak with a handkerchief in his mouth, and stared at Yun Xubai angrily with his bloodshot eyes, still trying to struggle.

Jiao Huai looked at the body tied into an octopus, and sighed: "I have paid too much for the organization."

"The organization will definitely remember your contribution." Yun Xubai patted Jiaohuai's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Lord Mayor, go and call Chen Han and Tian Dan over, remember to act better."

"Don't worry, I'm an actor." Jiao Huai adjusted his glasses, lazily put his hands behind his back, showed a gentle smile, and pushed the door away.

Not long after, he came back with Chen Han and Tian Dan.

Chen Han saw the poor little girl on the bed, and clapped her hands: "You guys are really quick, I was worried that something would go wrong."

"Just now the servants came all the way to say hello to Jiao Huai, he acted like a real mayor." Tian Dan laughed: "He is good at acting."

Jiao Huai raised her eyebrows proudly: "I am very talented."

"Don't be poor." Yun Xubai said: "You look after the mayor, Jiaohuai and I will go to the small building."

Hearing the word "small building", the mayor who had calmed down struggled again, making an indistinct "woo hoo" sound, his eyes tearing open.

Yun Xubai pinched his chin, his eyes darkened: "Do you have an opinion?"

The mayor looked at him with complicated eyes, and there was a hint of pleading under the anger.

Yun Xubai lowered the corners of his eyes, with a negotiable look: "Well, I won't touch that building, and you tell me your conspiracy in detail."

The mayor's pupils trembled slightly and he closed his eyes.

Yun Xubai chuckled, let go of his hand, without any intention of entanglement: "Jiao Huai, let's go."

Yun Xubai had figured out that the mayor was unwilling to tell the truth now, so he just let him go, and looked for some clues (handles) to come back to negotiate (threats) while the weather was still early, and he was not afraid that he would not tell the truth.

Yun Xubai took a basin of clear water and went to the small building with Jiao Huai.

The small building is weird and dangerous, and this basin of water can summon well ghosts, which is an extra layer of protection.

Jiao Huai rubbed her face, showing a three-point sad and seven-point affectionate expression: "I'll go in and stay with Madam for a while, no one is allowed to come near without my order."

Although the servants thought it was strange that the mayor brought the "fool" into his wife's room together, but the mayor looked so sad, they didn't dare to ask questions, so they just bowed their heads and walked away quietly.

Standing outside the door, one could smell the strange fragrance. After entering the house, the coldness mixed with a trace of decayed fragrance surrounded from all directions, almost penetrating into the bone marrow.

The last time they were forced by the situation, they only glanced at the living room briefly. This time, wearing the mayor's vest, they can observe blatantly and meticulously.

The small building has two floors. The first floor is the living room and the study room. The traces of the hostess' life were completely preserved. They looked around and found nothing suspicious, so they went directly to the second floor.

The strange fragrance on the second floor was even stronger, and the two of them followed the strange fragrance to a room.

The temperature dropped significantly, and Yun Xubai felt that the water in the basin had a slight tendency to frost.

Jiao Huai took a look at Yun Xubai, then gently pushed open the door, a rich and cold fragrance rushed towards her face, Jiao Huai almost sneezed.

This room is the most well-decorated in the entire small building. The bookshelves full of books are spotless, and there is an unfinished chess set on the table. The chess pieces are smooth and dust-free, as if someone often plays with them.

There is a bouquet of mountain flowers in full bloom by the window, half in the sun, the branches and leaves are stretched, full of vitality, and with the morning dew.The other half remained in the room, faded and withered, with curled leaves.

This kind of wild flower can be seen everywhere, and its vitality is very tenacious, but it cannot resist the invasion of Yin Qi in the room.

A carved wooden bed was placed beside the east wall, and the translucent bed curtain was gently flicked, and a figure with a graceful figure could be vaguely seen.

Yun Xubai put down the water basin, signaled Jiao Huai to step back, and lifted the curtain of the bed with his own hands.

A woman in a plain white cheongsam is lying quietly on the bed, with her hands folded on her abdomen, her long black and lustrous hair is draped softly on her chest, she does not wear makeup, her skin is smooth and delicate, her complexion is rosy, she is as beautiful as the person in the painting .

She is the source of the strange fragrance.

She seemed to just fall asleep, but her chest didn't rise and fall.

Jiao Huai raised her eyes, her voice was puzzled: "This is..."

A chill came down Yun Xubai's back for no reason, and he signaled Jiao Huai to keep silent, and put down the bed curtain.

Yun Xubai wanted to leave the room, but when he turned around, he suddenly saw a pale face.

The face was only ten centimeters away from him, and a pair of eyes full of melancholy stared at the "mayor", slowly shedding a line of tears.

Except for the bad complexion, this face is exactly the same as the face of the woman on the bed!

Yun Xubai pursed his lips, and calmly lifted the bed curtain to confirm.

The woman is lying on the bed.

Seeing that his expression was not right, Jiao Huai asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Yun Xubai winked behind him, Jiaohuai looked back, with the usual expression: "Huh?"

Yun Xubai realized that Jiao Huai couldn't see the woman behind him, so he didn't explain.

He turned around again and stared frankly at that pale face.

She looked weak, and her body was translucent, like a cloud of mist that could be easily dispersed.

The woman on the bed has long since died, and this is her spirit body.

She glanced at the flowers outside the window. The half of the flowers bloomed wantonly in the sun, and the petals were dyed a warm golden color.Even if this flower is not a rare variety, it is still enviable.

The woman realized that Yun Xubai could see her, her eyes trembled, her thin lips parted slightly, and she said a few words silently: Let me be free...

The light in the small building was dim, but during the day the sun was strong, and her spiritual body became more and more transparent. She smiled bleakly, looked at the "mayor" affectionately, hid in a dark corner, and disappeared.

As the cold wind blew, the dull and withered petals swirled in the air, and slowly fell to the ground, engulfed by shadows.

Jiao Huai shuddered, and muttered softly: "It's so cold."

Yun Xubai had a speculation in his mind, so he stopped staying and took Jiaohuai out of the small building.

After leaving the small building, their bodies gradually recovered, and the two found a secluded place to sit down.

"You kept winking at me just now and didn't let me talk. What's wrong?" Jiao Huai turned the finger in her hand, speculating from the mayor's point of view: "The one lying on the bed is my wife. Well, didn't she die long ago, why was she hidden there? Could it be that after she died, I was so sad that I used a special method to preserve her body so that she would never leave me? Uh...that's perverted. "

"You are so deeply involved in the drama." Yun Xubai raised his hand to undo the slanted button of his skirt, and hooked his lips: "But you guessed it, that is indeed the mayor's wife, but our mayor is obviously not satisfied with keeping things secret." His wife's body."

"What do you mean?" Jiao Huai thought of the corpse that looked like a living person, and thought for a moment: "You don't mean to say that the mayor wants her...to be resurrected?"

Thinking about it carefully, the mayor kept the small building as it was, kept his wife's body, and did not marry again... All kinds of behaviors showed that he did not accept the fact of his wife's death at all.

Yun Xubai nodded, and said in a flat tone: "When I gave you a wink, there was the spirit body of the mayor's wife standing behind her. You couldn't see her. She begged me with her lips to let her go."

"Relief?" Jiao Huai touched the frame of her glasses and pondered for a moment: "You can see, but I can't. Is it because of me or because of this body?"

"After death, the body does not rot and cannot be buried, and the spirit body cannot leave here, so it cannot be reincarnated." Yun Xubai looked at the corner of the small building through the bushes: "You can't see her, I guess there is 'someone' who doesn't want to Let the mayor see her."

"I don't let you speak because I feel that 'person' is in the small building. I'm afraid that if you say something wrong, she will realize that the mayor has been transferred."

"Is it Huapi? Huapi is hiding in that building." Jiao Huai's eyes darkened: "Things are getting more and more complicated."

"It's very close to the truth." Yun Xubai stood up, "I'm going to the well."

Jiao Huai: "Looking for grandma?"

"Well, let's talk about it. Before I come back, don't act rashly." Yun Xubai laughed softly, and waved at Jiaohuai: "Also, I want to ask you to do something."

As soon as she saw this gesture, Jiao Huai knew that Yun Xubai was going to make a show again, so she put her ear to it with great interest.

……

Yun Xubai knocked on the old lady's door.

"Who is it?" the grandmother asked, coughing.

Yun Xu's face remained unchanged: "The food delivery."

"It has been delivered today! You go back!"

Yun Xubai knocked on the door again: "Your granddaughter told me to deliver the food, otherwise she will deliver it herself tonight."

There were hurried footsteps from inside, and the coughing of the old woman became more and more intense, as if she was about to cough up her lungs.

The door was violently opened, a gust of hot air overflowed, and the ferocious face of the old lady poked out from the crack of the door: "What do you know?!"

Yun Xubai said, "I know all about the fact that you killed yourself for money."

"I never thought of killing my granddaughter...my poor granddaughter..." The old grandma was trembling all over, touching the ugly scar on her face tremblingly, wanting to cry without tears: "She dug out my eyes. They will take some things from me, but let me hang my breath and live without a ghost..."

"You have committed a lot of crimes." Yun Xubai said coldly, "If you repent and tell me the truth about the sacrificial sacrifices back then, maybe you can alleviate your sins a little, and you will be less punished when you go to hell in the future."

The old grandmother's thin body swayed and fell to the ground!

Yun Xubai held her arm quickly, pushed open the door, and said soothingly, "Don't get excited."

Leaning against him, the old grandma took a few deep breaths, and said to herself, "I know, there were no well ghosts at all back then... The mayor came to me privately, and what he wanted was my daughter-in-law's life!

"Water is the blood of the earth... water is the blood of the earth...

"That well is the spiritual vein of Huojing Town. Once it touches a human life, it will change the feng shui of the entire town. It can...refine blood and gather energy!"

Yun Xubai's thoughts flashed quickly, he connected all the clues together, and got an extremely clear main line——

The mayor tried his best and tried his best to set up this trap, in order to refine blood and gather Qi, so as to bring his dead wife back to life!

Yun Xubai asked in a deep voice: "What else do you know?"

"After being blind, I can see a lot of dirty things, and recently there are more and more dirty things..." The old woman pushed him away and said to herself: "The town has changed... changed... here soon It's going to be hell! I'm going to be a ghost soon, and I'm going to be with them soon..."

While talking, the old grandma suddenly became rigid, and her limbs twitched strangely.

Yun Xubai was taken aback by this scene, but he hadn't had time to do anything.

The old grandma's stiff body returned to normal. Like a normal person, she groped into the house and left a sentence: "When you leave, close the door for me."

Looking at the hunched back of the old grandma, and thinking of her phrase "I'm about to become a ghost", Yun Xubai felt his scalp go numb.

Because he realized that she was "ghostly".

Or rather, the whole town is...

Thinking of this, Yun Xubai's face wrinkled.

In the story of the psychic town, water runs through the entire dungeon. After Yun Xubai left the grandmother's house, he went to the river without stopping.

There was not a drop of water in the river, and the river bed piled up with gravel was exposed to the sun, and a few crows were walking back and forth in the river.

The river is dry, and the well water is not drunk. What kind of water are the townspeople drinking?

With this question in mind, Yun Xubai returned to the mayor's mansion, and poured out the water in the tank without saying a word.

Two minutes later, he saw with his own eyes, red water popping out of nowhere in the empty water tank, more and more...more and more...

The author has something to say: Jiao Huai: I have paid too much for the organization (weeping panda head)
