I Can Rewind

Chapter 83 The Woman in the Old House (1)

Yan Junze no longer felt sleepy, so he simply got up and poured himself a glass of water, and sat down on the sofa.

He didn't answer Zhang Xiaomo.

Facts have proved that Zhang Xiaomo is very powerful, and no matter what scene he encounters, he is surprisingly calm. It can be said that the calmness of a three-star spirit remover has been brought to the extreme.

And, rich experience.

The dream just now felt very real, as if the mother-in-law was really standing in front of him.

And Zhang Xiaomo knew what happened to Yan Junze before she even came out, which made him have to look at this woman with admiration again.

But at this moment, the feeling that there seemed to be something important that he hadn't remembered two days ago filled Yan Junze's chest again.

He took a sip of water and tried hard to remember, not knowing what important thing he had forgotten.

But after recalling it for a long time, I am still at a loss, but I feel faintly uneasy in my heart, and feel flustered for no reason.

After drinking the water, he just sat on the sofa and fell asleep unconsciously.

At noon the next day, Zhang Xiaomo packed her travel bag, left her phone number for Yan Junze, and left first.

Yan Junze told Zhang Xiaomo that he would not leave until the next day on the grounds that he would have the last meal with Lin Ling and Su Muyao upstairs.

There are still two tasks waiting for him here, these are opportunities to light up the space-time map, he can't waste it.

So after Zhang Xiaomo left, he first ran to Lin Dong's place and renewed the rent for two days.

Then I went to Xinglong Supermarket and bought two rechargeable flashlights and a gray mask. I took the flashlights back and plugged them into the plugboard in the house, charging them all the time.

According to the owner of the supermarket, this flashlight can be used for about an hour and a half when it is fully charged. It should take less than an hour and a half to explore the task of [The Hanged Woman], not to mention that I have a second flashlight.

Of course, it is impossible for Yan Junze to complete two tasks at once, so he plans to complete the task of "The Hanged Woman" first tonight, and then go to the Lin's yard tomorrow night to complete the task of "Throwing the Handkerchief".

The reason why it is chosen to be carried out at night is that only at night can people's eyes and ears be concealed. If it is changed to daytime, if someone sees it casually, it may make the mission fail.

After having a hot pot meal with Lin Ling and Su Muyao, neither Yan Junze nor Zhang Xiaomo revealed the real situation of that night, which made the two lovers keep thanking them, thinking that if they didn't appear suddenly, they might be useless up.

Yan Junze didn't want to say anything, and had a great time eating with these two, but he didn't dare to drink, and seeing that he was young and immature, Lin Ling didn't dare to persuade him to drink.

After nine o'clock, the banquet ended, and Yan Junze returned downstairs after thanking him.

I checked the flashlights, both of them were fully charged.

Now just wait for the dead of night to start taking action.

At about half past eleven, it was hard to see a single person on the street at Yanjiao.

Yan Junze put on a black coat and a gray mask, and went out with his mobile phone and two flashlights.

He had set his phone to silent beforehand.

Along this street, I could only see lights on in one or two houses along the way, and even Lin Ling and Su Muyao upstairs had fallen asleep.

Soon walk to the No. 39 house on this old street.

Looking up, it still looks like daytime here, the door panel is broken, but the outer wall is still good, there is a large spider web at the door, and no one has entered it for a long time.

Yan Junze stood in the corner, looked around first, and after confirming that there was no one there, he turned and walked up the steps of house No. 39.

This kind of steps is still made of stone, and it is very firm to step on.

After a few steps to the door, without unlocking the lock, he stepped directly through the broken door panel and got in.

After standing still, Yan Junze turned his head and looked in the direction of the street through the door panel. No one passed by, and it was very quiet.

He turned around, turned on the flashlight, lowered the light of the flashlight very low, and walked into the house.

In this kind of old-fashioned building built in the countryside, the outer room is used as a spare facade. It is usually vacant, with only a few stools inside and no other furniture.

Yan Junze quickly walked through the empty room, and there was a musty smell in the air.

Fortunately, he was wearing a mask, and he had expected that there would be no sunshine all day long, and the air must be bad.

I looked at this house outside during the day. It is a three-story self-built house that has been in disrepair for a long time, and the outer walls have fallen off in many places.

The stairs going upstairs were also narrow. Yan Junze came to the stairs and shone them with a flashlight, and found that the stairs were covered with moss.

It was evident that the room was damp.

But if you look closely, the corner of the stairs also extends downwards.

That is to say, there is also a basement in this building.

After standing for a while, Yan Junze was thinking whether to go up or down.

The task description reminded that Ye Zhennan, who had been hanged, was still dangling under the beams of the house. But it didn't specify which layer it was, which made Yan Junze feel embarrassed.

I used a flashlight to shine in the direction of the basement. It seemed that it was darker inside, not as bright as the upstairs. At least part of the moonlight can still penetrate above the second floor, which is much stronger than the basement.

"Where does a man usually choose where he chooses to hang himself?"

Yan Junze stood at the stairs and pondered. At this time, the surroundings were dead silent, and there was no sound.

He wanted to put himself in the heart of the woman who wanted to die. If he wanted to die without being discovered and saved himself, he would definitely choose a place where few people went to hang himself.

So it seems that only the basement seems to be suitable for some.

After raising the flashlight and shining it on the second floor, Yan Junze gave up going upstairs and chose to go directly to the basement.

Obviously, the stairs leading to the basement are even more slippery, and a lot of green moss is covered under the feet. Moreover, in order to save money, these self-built houses did not even repair the guardrails on the stairs leading to the basement.

Yan Junze supported the wall with only one hand, and moved down carefully step by step.

As long as it doesn't just slide down on the ground like a wild goose on the flat sand, it would be better to take a little time to land safely.

So he made hardly any noise as he went downstairs.

The flashlight shone on the slippery steps, and when I stepped down to about half of the stairs in the basement, suddenly there was a strange noise from upstairs.

This kind of sound is a bit similar to the extremely tense sound made by the rope being tightened, and it is especially ear-piercing in this silent night.

Yan Junze was stunned for a moment: "Did you guess wrong? This woman didn't hang herself in the basement, but upstairs?"

But from where he was standing, he could only vaguely judge that the sound came from upstairs, but he didn't know whether it was the second floor or the third floor.

Do you want to go up and have a look?

Yan Junze hesitated for a moment, then denied it.

Now that the stairs are halfway down, it's not too late to look at the basement before going up.

Just as he was about to continue going down the stairs, Yan Junze suddenly stopped.

Because he heard voices coming from upstairs just now, he used the flashlight to subconsciously shine upwards.

At this moment, his flashlight had just been retracted from above.

But the moment it was retracted, a pair of feet appeared at the corner of the first floor, a pair of feet wearing white women's leather shoes. Next to the feet, there is a rope as thick as a finger.

Thank you Manjuan Shuye, Cangtian Xixue Jinyihou, Leng Yuexin, Fat Meow Climbing a Tree, Flame Lives, Book Friends 20170409212128653, Book Friends 20190426170439110 for rewarding!

Regarding the last chapter, some book friends said that the system did not prompt the end, but no one found that the system only reminded the protagonist to pull the hatred of the hated mother-in-law, and did not issue the task of destroying the hated mother-in-law? The seven-day protection time was only mentioned by Zhang Xiaomo, so the system will not prompt. And what important thing the protagonist has forgotten, this is the key. Cough cough, first allow me to hold back. It is possible that some book lovers will guess. Also, don't care about the inconsistency between the chapter name and the task name, I don't want to.
