God Bestows Evil

Chapter 103 The Tomb of the Study

Hu Yunkuan’s words did not please the ears.

 But it makes sense.

　　Although Aunt He and others were a little agitated, they could still calm down when it was a matter of life and death.

The sky has not turned completely dark yet, and the shadows outside the clearing are just shadows now. They still have enough time to discuss groups for the time being.

 Finally, after a heated debate, the candidates for each grave were decided.

 The first is the banquet hall tomb.

 There were a total of six people entering the banquet hall tonight.

They are Hua Gezi Aunt He, the cook Qi Peiye, the fat man Pei Dasen, the bad trio Boss Yu, Huo Gai and Sha Xiuwen.

 Except for Qi Peiye, everyone in this group basically went there with the mentality of taking advantage.

Hu Yunkuan shouldn't stop him too much. After all, from the outside, this room is indeed the most comfortable one.

 The other people going to the banquet hall have another task.

 After they had a big meal tonight, if possible, it would be best to bring some food out from the banquet hall so that others can also eat. For this reason, Hu Yunkuan gave them some plastic bags.

 Aunt He and others did not reject this point.

 After all, they couldn’t eat this meal, and they would be hungry for the next few days. In the next few days, they would have to rely on others to bring food.

Qi Peiye is not here to take advantage. He is a cook. With his professional knowledge, he may be able to bring out some special information from the banquet hall.

 There was not a single family member among the group that entered the banquet hall.

 Because experienced family members all know that many seemingly risk-free things in the blessed land are often traps, and the temple tomb is already preferential treatment. They don't believe that the banquet hall is just for eating.

Wu Xian even guessed.

If these eight grave bags can connect a story together, then the banquet hall used to celebrate the birthday of the Liu family’s grandma may be the biggest turning point in the whole story, and the key to changing the birthday gift into a funeral...

 The second is the guest room tomb.

If Wu Xian guessed correctly, the room they entered last night was the guest room tomb.

Those who enter the guest room tomb are likely to get a good rest, but they have spent a peaceful night here before. Will nothing happen tonight?

Wu Xian thinks it’s unlikely.

There were five people who entered this room, namely Liang Fang, Wei Dian, Sister Qing, and the migrant worker couple Huang Anzong and Luo Xiang.

 It’s a clothes shop again.

The meaning of this room is somewhat unclear. The clothes may be related to identity, or the need to participate in a certain ceremony. The specifics need to be further investigated.

Hence, Wu Xian did not choose this room for the time being.

There were also five people who entered the clothing store, namely Hu Yunkuan, Xu Fenglan, Guan Daorong, the driver Lao Zhao, and the middle-aged teacher Luan Jing.

 Further back is the study room.

Wu Xianda wanted to enter the study from the very beginning, because there was a high possibility that the intelligence and information he needed could be hidden here.

From the moment he saw the words 'fatal choice' on the ultimatum, Wu Xian realized that order was important, so even if he might have to endure hunger, he had to lay the foundation for entering other rooms.

The people who chose to enter the study room with Wu Xian were, not surprisingly, Du E, who always followed Wu Xian, the other two female college students Zhao Xiaofu and Jiang Xianglan, and the fitness coach Su Mi.

There are twenty-one people in total, divided into four groups of 6555, and four rooms have been selected and ready to enter.

　What about the mourning hall?

 The answer is that there is no one available in the mourning hall.

This place is related to the dead at first glance, and it may be the most dangerous room. No one is willing to enter here first, so this room is empty.

Seeing that the last light of the sun was about to dissipate, the outline of the moon gradually became clear, and the strange monster was approaching the clearing, everyone realized that they had to take action. Su Mi was the first to step into the study without thinking too much.

Seeing that the door was not closed after he entered, Wu Xian breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this room was not like a temple tomb, where only one person was allowed to enter at a time.

So he, Du E, and sisters Zhao Xiaofu and Jiang Xianglan stepped into the study tomb one after another.

 All twenty-one people entered the room. The doors of these rooms were not closed, and there was still a slight light shining outside.

An old man walking on tiptoe appeared unsteadily, hesitated for a while in the center of the open space, and finally walked into the Yipu Tomb...

 After the old man disappeared.

Human-faced owls, headless horses, coffin spirits, walking corpses, flying-headed ghosts and other evil creatures all gathered around. They gathered in the open space and wandered around in a daze, but none of them dared to step into the five open graves.

 …

 Go through the narrow descending stairs.

 Wu Xian and others entered the study tomb.

He thought the study would be small and cramped, but he was wrong. The interior of the study was very large, with many candlesticks placed around it. The warm light emitted by the candles illuminated the entire study.

Although the candlelight is bright, the flame of the candle is naturally a bit eerie.

The light turned yellow, the candle flame swayed slightly, and people's shadows also swayed. The range of illumination was limited, and the areas that were not illuminated looked even darker and more terrifying...

 This study is divided into three parts.

 The smaller half at the front is laid out like a classroom.

There is a podium in the front, and there are several rows of short desks in the back, with pens, ink, paper, inkstones and other items placed on the desks.

 The back side is divided into two parts.

The area at the back left is filled with bookshelves, as well as things like calligraphy and painting. The bookshelves hold many ancient books. What seems a bit inconsistent is that there are also some modern books mixed in among the ancient books.

The area on the rear right is a small collection room. The collection room has six doorless compartments, five of which are filled with things, and there are also some strange-looking arrangements.

 Some are covered with gauze curtains, some have chairs, one has a fence and a pot behind the fence, one has a lot of ropes piled up, and another has a millstone...

Wu Xian paid attention to all these details one by one.

 Every exception should be meaningful, and these five small compartments will definitely be of great use in a while.

 Everyone briefly checked the room.

 There was no hidden evil, no clue as to what was required of them.

Wu Xian looked at Zhao Xiaofu and the other three.

"While it's still safe now, let me ask one more question, why did the three of you choose the study room? I did it for information, and this Du E... is just a stalker."

Du E rolled her eyes at Wu Xian, but did not refute. She followed Wu Xian shamelessly.

Zhao Xiaofu pulled Jiang Xianglan and said, "Both of us are students in the Chinese Department of Fuyuan Normal University, and we also participated in the calligraphy club. I think our specialties may be more suitable for surviving in this graveyard."

 In the daytime, there is nothing in the circular open space, and everyone stares at it very boredly.

 So in order to pass the time, Wu Xian observed these two female students for a long time.

They are both very quiet and bookish girls. Although their appearance is not particularly stunning, after looking at them for a long time, they will become very pleasing to the eye...

And although they are easily hesitant when facing danger, they are usually careful and will not cause trouble to others. Aunt Higa is as good as heaven.

 Aunt He is the type who barely knows the severity of danger, but can be annoying to death at ordinary times...
