Being too ferocious because of caution

Chapter 533 "Twilight Manor" Basement

"Yiwei, what do you know?"

Fang Detong asked hurriedly.

At the moment, every minute and every second is precious to them, after all, no one knows when the ghost will kill again!

Tang Yiwei used his right index finger to support his glasses, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes:

"I have been reading detective novels recently. Many victims use encryption because they are worried that the evidence they left behind will be found by the criminals..."

"But their encryption methods are more complicated."

"However, the encryption method used by the owner of this letter is very simple. This may be because the IQ of the ghosts in the manor is limited."

"Look--"

He stretched out his hand and pressed on the envelope, and everyone followed his gaze.

The first line, the first word, the second line, the second word, the third line, the third...

Reading it out like this is the key information.

[Be careful of ghosts in the manor! 】

Seeing this news, everyone felt a chill on their backs for no reason.

Although they already knew that there were ghosts in the manor, it was actually emphasized again, which deepened their fear!

"It's useless!"

"We already know..."

Yu Congyi was about to say those words, but suddenly stopped. He looked around suspiciously at the darkness and the dim corridor, squeezed into the crowd, and whispered:

"Is there any other information in the letter?"

Tang Yiwei said:

"In reverse, from the first word of the last line of the letter, the second word of the second to last line, the third word of the third to last line..."

Everyone read along this order, revealing a look of sudden enlightenment:

"Yes... in the basement, go quickly!"

Tang Yiwei nodded:

"That's right."

"If I'm not mistaken, the owner of this letter should have been the owner of this manor!"

"And in the basement, there are important clues he left, most likely related to the ghosts in the manor!"

Yu Congyi heard the words and said anxiously:

"Then what are we waiting for?"

"Quick!"

"Let's go now!"

Everyone set off, and on the way, Tang Yiwei looked at Zhao Yi again.

From beginning to end, this mysterious man seemed so calm.

His calmness made him feel weird.

If he was calm in front of the ghost in the manor because the ghost in the manor attacked him last, then what about facing Guan Kaixian's body?

"Will the ghost... be himself?"

Tang Yiwei frowned.

In the past, they had also encountered similar curses.

This curse was presented in the form of a game.

Whether it was a human or a ghost, they were essentially following the rules of the curse.

Zhao Yi could not be excluded from suspicion just because he told them that there was a ghost in the manor.

Many speculations passed through Tang Yiwei's mind.

But he still chose to go to the basement under the smoke tower.

After all, he had no other choice at the moment.

Based on his observation, he did not find any other suspicious points.

The only thing that made him curious was why the ghost deliberately kept the head of the corpse and sewed up the eyes and mouth of the corpse...

Was it purely a ghost's hobby?

Or was this curse deliberately revealing clues to the participants?

Tang Yiwei had been staring at Guan Kaixian's head on the dining table for a long time, and something suddenly flashed through his mind.

"It really looks like..."

"But what does it look like..."

"Damn, I can't remember, I must have seen it in this manor!"

Tang Yiwei grabbed his hair and fell into deep thought.

Fang Detong at the door saw Tang Yiwei still standing there, and couldn't help but said:

"Yiwei, what are you still doing?"

"Let's go!"

"It may not be safe here!"

Tang Yiwei came back to his senses and hurriedly left with everyone.

On the way, he slapped his head hard.

Damn it.

He knew, he must have seen it!

There is something in the manor that looks very similar to Guan Kaixian's face...

When everyone left the main hall of the manor and passed by those plaster sculptures, Tang Yiwei took a special look at these weird sculptures.

"Not these..."

He denied these sculptures in his heart.

The heavy rain outside continued, cold and wet, accompanied by thunder and strong winds.

Under the raincoats, everyone was wearing robes, which could not cover their legs at all, and their pants were soaked.

The gravel road was also bumpy, and everyone dared not walk too fast. Except for Zhao Yi, everyone turned on their mobile phones to illuminate and stuck together.

The boring ghost movies I had seen before played their due role at this time.

In such an environment, when everyone lined up in a row, the probability of accidents would be greater for those who walked in the front and the back!

Zhao Yi walked in the front and led the way.

No one was worried about him.

But they would always look back unconsciously to see if Jing Qingdong, who was walking at the end, suddenly disappeared.

Fortunately, Jing Qingdong had been following the team, lowering his head, as if he was looking at the road, and as if he was thinking about something.

In this way, everyone walked and stopped all the way, and came to the smoke tower in the wind and rain.

Zhao Yi took out a key from his pocket and unlocked the door.

"Brother Zhao, these locks are so new, did you install them?"

Fang Detong keenly discovered that the locks at the entrance of the smoke tower were also very new.

As soon as Zhao opened the door, a strong smell of age and dust hit him in the face.

"Yes."

"I was invited to the manor and became the owner of the manor."

"I felt uncomfortable when I thought there was a ghost running around in the manor. It happened that the manor had a lock, so I locked the door."

Fang Detong looked at Zhao for a long time and slowly gave a thumbs up.

"You're awesome."

Locking the door to a ghost was something he hadn't expected to do.

Everyone entered the room and Zhao Yi turned on the chandelier.

Shen Youyu on the side said:

"Brother Zhao, what's wrong with your fingers?"

Zhao turned around and saw her staring closely at his fingers, and couldn't help but smile:

"I accidentally cut my hand when I was cooking for you... I can't help it. I'm the only one in this manor, and I don't even have a cook. I can't expect ghosts to cook for me, right?"

After he finished speaking, he slowly tore off the band-aid and showed the knife wound to those present.

"Feel sorry."

Shen Youyu said.

Zhao Yi shook his head:

"It doesn't matter."

"Everything in the manor now may be the body of a ghost."

"It's normal for you to doubt me when the situation is uncertain...just like I will doubt you."

He put the band-aid back on and started looking around for the switch in the basement.

Suddenly, Yu Congyi's excited voice came:

"Very good!"

"I found it!"

Everyone looked back, and Yu Congyi opened a pile of rags, and a lever appeared underneath!

Click——

He pulled the lever.

Uh-huh!

The chandelier above everyone's heads suddenly went out.
