femme fatale [unlimited]
Chapter 178
There is still remnants of nail polish on that piece of nails, a faint light pink.If nothing else, it should have come from some young woman.
Ning Mianmian frowned, and carefully placed the piece of nail on the bedside table.He moved closer, squinting his eyes and carefully surveying the inside of the cabinet.
Soon she made another discovery—a strand of long chestnut hair caught in the gap between the wooden boards on the inner wall of the cabinet.
It seems that there was a girl once locked in this cabinet. Although I don't know what she went through, but from the remaining clues, it can be seen that she had a painful struggle, and there is a high probability that she is no longer alive at this time.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and then a tall figure walked in.
"Mianmian, are you okay?"
It was Lin Cen who saw her going upstairs alone, and followed her worriedly.
She turned on the switch on the wall without any hassle, and the small room was suddenly lit up. The cold white light fell on her waist-length silver hair, which shone beautifully with her movements.
Ning Mianmian was inexplicably at ease, she smiled and briefly described her discovery.
At the end she added: "Just now I really heard the sound of fingernails scratching the cabinet. According to the routine of the supernatural dungeon, it is very likely that someone died here before, so the wronged soul is trapped and cannot get out or something."
After hearing this, Lin Cen lowered his head and thought for a few seconds, then stretched out his hand to measure the thickness of the cabinet door.
Then she suddenly bent down and got into the cabinet.
Ning Mianmian was startled, and reflexively wanted to pull her up, but immediately realized that the other party wanted to restore the scene.So not only did she not stop her, she simply went into the closet with the other party.
Lin Cen closed the cabinet door from the inside, and the light suddenly dimmed.The air was stuffy, and there was a faint musty smell of wood lingering in the nose, mixed with a faint smell of blood.
The style of the cabinet is old and the quality is very average.The wooden plank is not too thick, if it is a young and middle-aged man, standing outside the cabinet, it can be kicked into pieces.
Ning Mianmian tried to move her legs and feet, but found that there was no room to stretch because the space was too narrow.No matter how hard you try to kick and bump, you can't use your strength.
Therefore, if an ordinary girl is locked in and the door is locked from the outside, it is completely possible to trap her inside.
She raised her hand to touch the messy scratches on the cabinet door, trying to feel the panicked mood of the girl who was trapped in it.
Lin Cen's voice sounded beside her ear: "If it was the voice of the deceased's soul being trapped, then she must have died in the cabinet, but how did she die?"
Ning Mianmian also found it strange that there was no large amount of blood in the cabinet, which meant that the girl did not die from trauma.And since she was still desperately repeating the action of scratching the cabinet door after her death, it must have represented her obsession during her lifetime to some extent—she wanted to get out of the cabinet very much.
Such a fierce struggle caused the nails to fall off and did not stop, much like the desire to survive when a person is on the verge of death.In other words, in the girl's situation at the time, if she couldn't go out, she would die.
But the airtightness of this cabinet is not good. Even if the cabinet door is fully closed, there is a thin gap. If the cabinet door is shaken, the gap will become wider enough to allow air to enter.
"Strange..." Ning Mianmian murmured, "Even if you are locked in a cabinet, you won't be suffocated to death."
"It won't suffocate to death." Lin Cen said calmly, "But what if it lasts long enough?"
Ning Mianmian thought about it for a while, and suddenly felt a chill flooding her body, "You mean, she was imprisoned for many days and died of starvation and thirst?"
Lin Cen said: "Looking at the current situation, it is very possible."
Ning Mianmian gasped, this speculation was reasonable, but it was too cruel.I don't know what this girl did and who she provoked to have such a tragic experience.
At this time, there was a sound of brisk footsteps outside the door, and then the cabinet door was pulled open suddenly.
After staying in the dark for a long time, when suddenly seeing the light, Ning Mianmian felt a little glaring, and slightly narrowed her eyes.
The person who opened the cabinet was Fluffy, and she didn't expect that there was someone in the cabinet, so she screamed in shock, took two steps back, and fell down on the bed, "There's a ghost!!"
Ning Mianmian: ...
She came out of the cabinet, "It's me, stop shouting."
After seeing the two people coming out of the closet, Fluffy's expression suddenly became very subtle.She ground her back molars, and criticized righteously: "What are you doing! What time is this!"
Ning Mianmian tried to explain: "It's not what you think...we are restoring the scene!"
"What do you mean!" Rongrong was even more surprised after hearing this, "You two play like this at home?"
Ning Mianmian: ...
She really admires Fluffy's unique ability to understand.
At this time, the other teammates also heard Fluffy's yelling, and rushed over one after another.Ning Mianmian recounted the discovery just now.
She thought that everyone would be somewhat surprised after listening to it, but she didn't expect her teammates to exchange a look, with a somewhat complicated look on their faces.
Before she could ask a question, Love took the initiative to say, "Actually, the remaining three bedrooms have similar situations."
Ning Mianmian thumped in her heart, and asked, "Similar situations...what do you mean?"
Jiang Wan replied: "In the two rooms that Love and I have been to just now, there are large bloodstains on the walls of one room, and internal organs are still stained in the corners of the floor; in the other room, there is a complete human face under the bed, and There are a few teeth."
Rao Jiang Wan, who has always been calm, showed a slight disgust on his face when he said these things.
Yu Chuqing added: "I checked the rest of the bedroom with Fluffy. There are traces of baking near the wall, and there are some burnt hairs and pieces of meat."
Fluffy wrinkled her small face, and said firmly, "This murderer must be a psychopath."
Thinking of Wang Song's words, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Could this be caused by evil things?"
Ning Mianmian couldn't help sighing: "If so, then the hatred between this evil thing and the dead is really big enough."
Just now, she felt her stomach churn. It is common for people to die in dungeons, but such bloody and cruel methods of committing crimes are really rare.
After sorting out the clues, the time jumped to ten o'clock in the morning.
After a brief discussion, everyone decided to divide into three groups to explore the areas they hadn't been to before, and return to the residence to gather at noon.
The village is still deserted, and there is no popularity at all.Ning Mianmian and Lin Cen walked straight along the path, and soon reached a border of the village.
The reason why it is called "boundary" is because the dividing line is too obvious.
The surrounding scenery of the slightly barren lawn is blurred, as if separated by frosted glass.It was as if there was a huge barrier separating the village from the outside world.
Ning Mianmian picked up a small stone from the ground and threw it towards the outside of the village.When the small stone touched the blurred boundary, it bounced back as if it had been hindered by some kind, and rolled a few times on the ground.
Ning Mianmian suddenly thought of what Wang Song said "can't get out", but she didn't expect such a simple and rude way.
She thought for a while, controlled her strength, and then fired a few crossbow arrows towards the boundary.The result was still the same, the crossbow bolts that were wrapped in golden streamer and fired quickly were unloaded the moment they touched the boundary, and fell lightly to the ground.
Sure enough, breaking through by force is not feasible, and we have to think of other ways.
"It's very strange." Lin Cen, who was walking beside her, suddenly said, "It's okay to not see anyone after walking for such a long time, but there is no farmland in use in the village."
Ning Mianmian nodded, and added: "And I've checked, all the pigpens and chicken coops in the yard are deserted, and I haven't seen any cattle or sheep, and there are no livestock in the village."
There was a moment of silence in the air. At this time, the two of them were thinking about the same question—since there were no fields or animals, how did the villagers live on, and where did the food on the table come from?
Lin Cen said: "Wait until it gets dark and the villagers get up, then ask again."
They knocked door to door just now, but got no response.
After walking around the village, not only did they not collect any clues, but they felt that they had more questions in their hearts.
But complaints are complaints. The villagers do not open the door, and they are not allowed to trespass.The relationship between the player and the NPC is very delicate, and violence cannot be abused before the situation is understood.If it arouses the opponent's resentment and affects the intelligence collection, things will become very troublesome.
Seeing that the time was approaching noon, just as the two were about to head back home, a petite figure suddenly appeared at the end of the road ahead, walking slowly towards them.
someone?Didn't the villagers generally sleep at home during the day?
Ning Mianmian's eyes moved slightly, and she looked intently.
It was a young girl, plainly dressed and torn in several places.She seemed malnourished, thin, and walked with empty trousers.His complexion is sallow, his hair like withered grass is tied up casually, and a basket is slung on his thin arm.
Suddenly seeing an unfamiliar face, the girl was obviously stunned for a moment, and took a few steps back, with a look of horror on her face.
"Don't be afraid, we are tourists from other places, and we came to live in the village."
Ning Mianmian hurried forward and greeted the other party warmly.
She smiled with crooked eyebrows and looked very friendly, "But we just arrived today, and we are not very familiar with the roads in the village. Just now we went around in a circle, and now we are lost, can you please help us guide the way?" Woolen cloth?"
The girl hesitated for a moment, then nodded lightly, "Yes, do you remember anything near your place?"
Ning Mianmian was overjoyed, "That's great, we live next to Brother Wang Song's house, which is the place he arranged for us."
In fact, of course she remembered the way, but the girl in front of her seemed to be very afraid of strangers, if she held him here and questioned her directly, she might not be able to get anything out of it.It's better to walk with you for a while and ask questions slowly in a chat manner.
The girl said: "I know where it is, I'll take you there, it's not far away."
Ning Mianmian thanked her, and said in a chatty tone, "My name is Mianmian, what's your name?"
The girl pursed her lips, "My name is Xiaofang."
Ning Mianmian: ...that name is easy to remember.
She resisted the urge to complain, and chatted with Xiaofang a few more times before getting to the point, "By the way, let me ask you something, where we live now, and who lived before?"
After Xiaofang heard this, her footsteps obviously paused, and she asked after a while: "Why do you ask this all of a sudden?"
Ning Mianmian looked calm, "I found something in the room, it should be lost by the original owner, so I want to return it."
After hearing this, Xiaofang fell silent again, lowered her head and said nothing, as if she was considering her words.
After a while, she whispered: "No need to pay back, the people who lived there are already dead."
"No wonder I saw a lot of blood on the wall, it was too scary."
Ning Mianmian let out a small exclamation, pretending to be scared, "Brother Wang Song is really, why did he arrange for us to live in a haunted house? How did they die? Tell me in detail, so we can be prepared .”
Xiaofang bit her lip, with a struggling expression on her face, "I, I can't say it, if I say it, I will..."
Her voice was getting lower and lower, as if she was gradually losing her courage.
Ning Mianmian's expression changed slightly, and she asked, "What will happen to you?"
"I can't tell." Xiaofang looked at Ning Mianmian, her tone already pleading, "I'm really scared, you guys, please let me go."
Ning Mianmian frowned, and carefully placed the piece of nail on the bedside table.He moved closer, squinting his eyes and carefully surveying the inside of the cabinet.
Soon she made another discovery—a strand of long chestnut hair caught in the gap between the wooden boards on the inner wall of the cabinet.
