1TWITF[C Chapter 79

Chapter 79

Lin Chu felt a little guilty.

During the ancestral sacrifice, she was bewitched by the blood river, and was confused enough to almost offer herself as a sacrifice. At that moment, a feeling of horror that surged from the bottom of her heart swept through her body. Therefore, she subconsciously changed the object of the sacrifice to An Xingyu.

So, could An Xingyu have been sacrificed and left in that world?

She didn’t dare to think about it.

Lin Chu poured a glass of water for Chu Xiu. The latter didn’t drink it, but carefully examined the furnishings in the room, especially the notes pasted on the wall.

“You’re amazing,” he sincerely praised.

Lin Chu smiled insincerely and asked, “What exactly are you here for?”

“We need to see him alive, or his corpse. If this matter spreads, and reaches the ears of other mission takers, your future days won’t be easy.”

Lin Chu knew that what he said made sense.

People who survive multiple missions are definitely not kind people. They can kill NPCs, and they can kill people.

Lin Chu’s face didn’t show any abnormality. She made her face paler, as if she had recalled something bad, and tried to recall, but still shook her head blankly, and gave a bitter smile: “I wish I knew. I also want to know what happened to him.”

Lin Chu’s show of weakness didn’t dispel Chu Xiu’s suspicion. He always felt that the other party was lying, but he had no way of knowing what she was hiding.

The teacup created a mist of water on the table, and Lin Chu’s tone was very sincere.

Her performance was perfect. Chu Xiu couldn’t tell if she was lying, but his intuition still told him that this girl was not that simple.

This was also possible. Some mission takers, for various reasons, didn’t want to record their mission process after returning and chose to conceal it.

Lin Chu said, “I’ll organize it and post it later.”

She seemed to have remembered something sad, smiled faintly, and revealed a half-true and half-false sadness: “My best friend also died in this mission. I don’t want to recall it.”

Chu Xiu… was too shrewd, making it difficult for her to fabricate a fake plot in a short time and successfully deceive him.

Chu Xiu knew that her best friend should be that person named Yu Xianguang.

His portrait was still placed in the living room. Calculating the time, perhaps she went to the police station a few days ago for this matter.

Lin Chu sat quietly on the sofa, closing her eyes wearily. After a long time, she opened her mouth: “Okay, let me organize my thoughts.”

Chu Xiu recorded carefully.

Then, Lin Chu began to narrate.

Perhaps because the mission time was too long, Lin Chu’s narration was somewhat vague. She couldn’t remember some places and needed to think for a long time.

“… Many, many ghosts. We had to run desperately in the amusement park. In a panic, we ran into a wax museum. Actually, at first, everyone didn’t know it was a wax museum. It was just that it was dark at night, and only that one was lit, so we went in…”

“But… but all the wax figures in the wax museum were our images, with all kinds of deaths…”

Lin Chu slowly talked about the mission process, but the experience she described had nothing to do with her real experience!

She was actually making up a story on the spot to deceive him.

Chu Xiu quickly analyzed in his mind, nodded, and bid farewell to her: “I’m sorry to bother you, thank you very much.”

Lin Chu sent him out the door.

She wrapped the two small things in a tissue, and with a force in her palm, crushed them into powder.

At the same time, a crackling electrical sound came from Chu Xiu’s ear. He knew that his little gadgets had been discovered.

Inside the provincial museum, there was a constant stream of visitors.

Having heard that some of the latest excavated exhibits were on display, many history enthusiasts came to see them. In addition, there were many people returning home for the New Year, and many parents didn’t mind bringing their children to cultivate their sentiments.

Lu Yanli put on a mask and followed the crowd through the security check.

The lights in the museum were dim. Many cultural relics were forbidden to be photographed, so he could only carefully examine the excavated objects, noting the details.

The exhibited collections were basically similar in style to the items he had seen in the tomb. Ancient and unique bronze ware, jade ware, porcelain, etc. were all displayed in glass walls, illuminated by soft light.

After a while, he turned to the restroom.

Inside the stall, Lu Yanli took out a stack of white paper that he had put in his bag. Based on the memories in his mind, he quickly sketched with a pencil, quickly drawing the images he had just seen.

As he was drawing, there was a noise outside the door.

Judging by the sound, it was the group of people from the hotel last night. Judging by the footsteps, there were three of them.

“Okay, stop arguing. You two always argue when you get together. Let’s think of a way. Where might those newly excavated things be sent if they’re not sent to the museum for exhibition?” Jing Tao persuaded.

Hearing the words “jade pendant”, Lu Yanli Sharply look up.

What jade pendant? Could it be the one he was thinking of?

Their next conversation corroborated Lu Yanli’s idea that they were indeed here for the Pisces jade pendant. The only two jade pendants were both in Lu Yanli’s hands. He didn’t know why the jade pendant hadn’t disappeared after the world returned to normal.

It was difficult to describe Lu Yanli’s mood at the moment. He had been trying to find out if there was a conspiracy behind the mission, such as some kind of existence manipulating it. But he had never been able to find a pattern. And now, the premonition about this guess was even stronger.

Why, as soon as he got the jade pendant, someone received a mission to find the Pisces jade pendant? Could it be that something had been silently watching him?

Lu Yanli couldn’t figure it out, but he knew that he could never let this group of people take the Pisces jade pendant away.

After he came out, he clearly opened the stall, but… in the mirror, the stall door began to close one after another.

It was as if an invisible hand was closing the door.

Not good!

Lu Yanli immediately walked out the door quickly.

Not long after, a boy of about seven or eight years old entered the restroom.

He was brought to the museum by his mother to visit. He had to write an essay after going back. He didn’t understand what was so good about a pile of gray, broken copper and scrap iron. He accidentally smashed a particularly beautiful bowl. For this reason, his mother was arguing with the people in the museum. The little boy told her and ran to the toilet himself.

He opened the door and entered the stall.

But what he didn’t see was that in the mirror, the stall door was always tightly closed and had never been opened.

He opened the door to who knows where.

After another while, a pale hand appeared out of thin air on the doorknob – slowly opening the stall door.

Outside the mirror, a breeze blew, opening the tightly closed door. It was clean inside, with nothing.

No one knew where the little boy went.

That’s right, didn’t Xiaobao go to the toilet? Where is he?

“Ah, what’s going on? Why is it raining?”

“I’m going to die. I didn’t bring an umbrella. It’s not easy to get a taxi here…”

“Wait a while, and go back when the rain stops. The weather has been really strange lately. It was unbearably hot a few days ago, and it’s getting colder today…”

Another thunderclap. Most of the lights in the museum went out.

“Ah–” A girl screamed, followed by various noises.

Was it because the lightning broke the power lines?

The crowd gathered at the entrance of the museum watched as another lightning bolt struck, illuminating the dazzling light, instantly knocking down the telephone pole in the distance.

“The wires are on fire!” they screamed.

At the same time, the lights in the museum finally went out completely, completely plunging into darkness.

The rain could not extinguish the flashing wires. The telephone pole swayed and slowly fell, hitting a row of vehicles parked in the parking lot. Car alarms went off one after another, causing another wail among the crowd at the entrance.

Some of their cars were inside!

It was pitch black in front of her.

Not only that, but there was also a dripping sound, as if the waterproofing measures were not done well.

That was enough. When she got out, she would definitely complain to this museum. How was it run? It was even leaking?

The young mother turned on her flashlight and walked forward slowly.

The flashlight shone inside, and it was also pitch black. A strong wind blew in from the window on the other side, causing the stall door to slam shut, sweeping in a large amount of cold rain.

No one answered her. Only a stronger and stronger cold wind poured in.

She walked in, carefully stepping on the floor to avoid getting her boots wet. She looked at each stall one by one.

“Xiaobao? Xiaobao?”

To her disappointment, she didn’t see her son’s figure until she reached the last stall.

“Xiaobao, don’t play hide-and-seek with Mommy, please come out?” Unable to find her son, she felt uneasy and raised her voice again.

The flashlight shone everywhere. Suddenly, her body stiffened, and the blood in her body seemed to freeze in an instant.

She saw it…

In the mirror, where was the clean scene? What was blowing in from the window was blood rain. One after another gray-white long shadows floated around, and the water on the ground… was clearly blood!

She was already soaked in blood! The water droplets that had just fallen on her face were casually wiped, and at this moment, they were smeared into a blood stain stuck to her face.

On the wall, there were blood handprints everywhere!

Ghosts… ghosts!

The museum was haunted!!

The wind slammed the door shut.

The scream stopped abruptly.

The screams were shrill and loud. The people gathered at the entrance naturally heard them and looked at each other.

“What’s going on? Who is it?”

“Did something happen? Let’s go take a look?”

Everyone pushed each other and walked inside, emboldening each other. Everyone turned on all the flashlights, making it brighter.

“It’s so unlucky to encounter this kind of thing during the New Year. Fortunately, I bought insurance for my car, or I would have lost a lot.”

“Doesn’t this museum have any backup power? Where did the staff go? Why can’t we find any of them?”

“That’s right, tell them to turn on the lights, it’s too scary in the dark.”

The seven people on the mission were also among them, and their reactions were even greater than the others.

Others didn’t know, but didn’t they know? The museum was definitely haunted. They wanted to leave quickly, but Jing Tao, the leader, suggested that they’d better not leave directly. There had been such situations before, and people who left the scene early died on the road instead.

Risk was opportunity. They might as well take a gamble and see if they could find the Pisces jade pendant.

Seven or eight beams of flashlight light shone back and forth. The red dots on the few cameras on the ceiling disappeared, and it seemed that they had stopped working due to lack of power.

The staff was also not there.

In the crowd, a man asked tentatively.

“That’s not good, it’s stealing,” another man advised him.

“Oh, I’m just saying, joking, not serious,” the previous man laughed it off.

But his words made others also have some thoughts.

Not long after, another person said intentionally or unintentionally: “I heard that generally these glasses will sound an alarm. After the power outage, the alarm is gone, right?”

“It doesn’t matter if there is, where did these staff go?”

“That’s right, no one will find out anyway.”

“Cultural relics are very precious, let’s not do it.”

More and more people were tempted, and in the end, the few people who objected had to shut their mouths.

Lu Yanli followed behind the crowd, took a deep breath, and watched coldly as this group of people sought their own death.

He wanted to leave, but he had the same concerns as that group of people.

He walked at the back, vigilantly watching the entire hall.

In a small exhibition hall, a female scream broke out again.

Lu Yanli recognized the voice as Cao Yi, the mission taker he met yesterday.

The others subconsciously ran over and entered the small exhibition hall.

“What’s wrong? What happened?”

Lu Yanli stood outside, without any movement.

He heard a faint sound of water dripping.

Drip.

Falling on the glass display stand beside him.

Where did the sound of water come from?

Before he could think deeply, he had already heard Cao Yi’s aggrieved crying.

Beams of flashlight light shone, and everyone’s faces seemed to be blurred by the darkness.

The atmosphere solidified for a while. Whether it was psychological or not, the temperature in the museum seemed to have dropped a few degrees, becoming increasingly cold.

“Don’t talk nonsense, you’re probably too stressed and saw it wrong,” Jing Tao advised.

“I didn’t see it wrong! It’s true, I really saw it. Let’s go quickly, this museum is haunted…”

Jing Tao couldn’t wait to grab her neck and shake it to see if he could squeeze out some water, but in front of everyone, he couldn’t do that. He could only glare at her secretly, wanting her to restrain herself and stop talking.

Yi Yun sighed, reached out and patted Jing Tao’s shoulder, gently shaking his head at him.

Jing Tao understood her unspoken meaning, his forehead tightened, and he glared at the other person again.

Yi Yun waved her hands repeatedly: “No, no, why would you think that? I…”

“That’s more like it.” The man cursed and passed by Cao Yi, who still said blankly: “But I really saw it…”

She broke it down and explained it to the other party. Cao Yi finally understood and nodded like crazy.

This was her first time being in close contact with ghosts, and she was scared to the point of fainting on the spot.

In horror movies, no matter how bloody and weird, it was just a movie, it was fake.

She had just truly experienced what it meant to walk on the edge of life and death.

Now, Yi Yun gave her the feeling of the Big guy who had carried her in the initial mission. She instantly felt that Yi Yun was so pleasing to the eye, and she didn’t even mind the dislike in her tone. After she finished speaking, Cao Yi hurriedly followed, wanting to grab her clothes and walk together.

“Don’t always follow me.” Yi Yun didn’t want to pay attention to the other party.

“Forget it, whatever.” Yi Yun turned around and continued to look around.

Her gaze was not on the items displayed in the museum, but on the others.

She wanted to see what would happen if she took cultural relics.

The glass cabinet, which should have been strong enough to be bulletproof, was now vulnerable and shattered all over the ground, revealing two Glazed glass cup inside that were almost shattered as well.

The man reached out and picked up the two beautiful Glazed glass cup and stuffed them into the backpack behind him.

Nothing happened.

Yi Yun’s gaze followed him closely.

Unconsciously, the hand behind her gradually became cold. Yi Yun didn’t notice it, and was still standing in the corner.

If she turned her head, she would find that the girl holding her was white-eyed and her hair was getting longer bit by bit.

One drop after another of liquid fell.

The slight dripping sound, in the moment of the coming storm, was so weak, but so clearly resonated in everyone’s ears.

“This crappy museum is actually leaking!” The man who took the Glazed glass cup cursed. No matter where he went, he could hear the annoying sound of water dripping, which annoyed him.
