I Created the Myth of the Old Ruler

The light of the flashlight swept across, and there was even a touch of bright red in Lu Jian's vision. He hurriedly turned the flashlight back, and when it shone on the door of the safe passage, there was no sign of anyone.

He tried to recall the person's appearance and clothes, but he could only vaguely discern that it was a woman, and the clothes on her body didn't look like the current trend.

Lu Jian took the crowbar and walked towards the door of the safe passage.

Right above the safe passage is the control room, and the mannequins are still looking at the theater hall. When Lu Jian came here, he saw a newspaper on the ground.

Poking the newspaper with a crowbar, he hooked it over.

Picking up the newspaper, Lu Yi confirmed that it was a normal Jiangcheng Evening News.

However, this Jiangcheng Evening News was published more than 20 years ago.

Lu Yi used the flashlight as a light source and read the newspaper standing up.

"...At the time of the fire, the Jiangcheng Grand Theater was rehearsing for the annual performance, including performers Du Danping and other people involved in the theater. It is reported that the source of the fire was the equipment in the backstage. The short circuit of the equipment caused the fire. However, the possibility of arson cannot be ruled out."

The above is the investigation report of the Jiangcheng Grand Theater fire. In that era, the Internet was not well developed, and there was no online police report like today. Many incident investigation reports were released by newspapers.

Of course, these reports are not necessarily true and detailed. For example, the article in Lu Lian's hands seems to have some ambiguity and speculation.

Turning a page, "Jiangcheng Evening News" became "Jiangcheng Weekly", which is an entertainment-oriented weekly magazine in Jiangcheng. It had closed down a few years ago. Lu Juan also glimpsed this weekly magazine when he was looking for information in the library. name.

"...According to people familiar with the matter, Du Danping and Song Yunyan, the daughter of the chairman of Jiangcheng Industry, are rumored to have an affair. There may be something hidden in this fire. The opposition of the Song family, the two tried to elope but were prevented..."

The report of this weekly magazine is full of celebrity gossip, and it even insinuates that Du Danping and that Song Yunyan wanted to elope and fake death, which caused the fire, almost pointing at the late Du Danping and saying yes He did.

"...This accident resulted in five deaths and sixteen injuries. Musician Du Danping was unfortunately killed in this accident..."

The newspaper turned another page and turned into a black and white accident investigation report from "Jiangcheng Daily".

After reading the last line, Lu Jian continued to turn back.

At this time, he saw that the words on the newspaper became densely packed.

No, that's not reporting at all, it's a curse.

"Die! Die! Die! Die! Die!"

Vicious, pitch-black, like words written in frozen blood all over the newspaper.

Moreover, when Lu Jian took a closer look, the words seemed to be still wriggling, crawling towards the outside of the newspaper like ants, and seemed to be about to crawl into Lu Jian's hand.

When these words come into contact with the skin, they seem to be able to be engraved on it, penetrate into the pores, and leave a permanent imprint.

No one knows, if these words continue to climb, will they occupy the entire body!

Feeling itchy, Lu Jian immediately dropped the newspaper in his hand.

Snapped--

The newspaper fell to the ground and quickly turned into a cloud of ashes and dissipated.

Lu Jian checked his hand. The text attached to it just now was like an illusion, and he couldn't find any traces. He subconsciously confirmed the situation of the newspaper.

However, at the door, there was a pair of women's feet wearing red high heels!

"!"

Lu Jian raised his flashlight, and the safe passage was empty. Where did the figure come from?

"...It seems that the ghost here wants me to investigate the truth of the year?"

he wondered.

Maybe this female ghost in red is Song Yunyan? She was killed and wronged by Du Danping back then, so I hope someone can reveal the truth?

The other party provided him with clues, and there was no sign of harming him. It seemed that the degree of danger was not that high.

Lu Jian secretly summed up the clues.

"The place where the accident happened was the equipment in the background. The reason was a short circuit, but people can also make arrangements in advance to cause a similar situation."

"Du Danping and Song Yunyan do seem to have a good relationship. The woman who appeared in the video is called Song Yunyan?"

"It was reported that the two failed to elope before, so this time they wanted to create a fire and feign death to get away, but it turned out that the feign death became a real death?"

"The performer may be Du Danping, and his ghost is also bound here, playing music every night?"

Lu Jian thought a lot and decided to go to the backstage to have a look.

It's past eight o'clock now, except for the weird model doll, Lu Jian has not found any trace of the performer, maybe it needs some means to trigger it.

Thinking of the disasters that would be caused by opening any box in those horror movies, Lu Juan smiled self-deprecatingly.

"It's not my style to take the initiative to die."

He stepped onto the stage again and walked backstage.

Da da da--

The sound of footsteps echoed in the theater hall, and as he walked, Lu Jian suddenly felt something was wrong.

The footsteps seemed to be from more than one person!

He stopped immediately.

Da da da--

However, the footsteps did not stop.

Lu Jian looked back, but there was nothing.

It was as if someone Lu Juan couldn't see was following him in leather shoes.

After two seconds, the footsteps stopped abruptly.

He continued to move forward and came to the dilapidated backstage, where the fire took place. The damage was the most serious. The wooden structure was charred, and the cement behind it was also stained black.

The entire backstage was filled with a scorched and corrupt smell that was difficult to dissipate, and even made Lu Juan feel whether these smells were real or some kind of supernatural hallucinations.

Where the flashlight shines, you can see some model dolls. These dolls melted by the high temperature are integrated with the ground and walls, which looks quite strange.

Perhaps, these are not dolls?

"Impossible. The police must have cleaned up the scene at that time, and there will be no corpse left."

Lu Jian dispelled those unreasonable imaginations, the more he walked in, the more he felt the surrounding became hotter.

It should be a slightly cool night, but Lu Jian was so hot that he was about to sweat.

It's like...surrounded by flames.

Relying on the architectural design drawings he wrote down and the descriptions in related reports, Lu Yi came to the equipment where the accident happened in the background.

He saw that this device is an old-fashioned electric switch that controls the light switch. This kind of electric switch is not safe. If it is used for a long time and the aging is serious, accidents are prone to occur.

Since the theater was built many years ago and has been in constant use, the electrical equipment has not had time to be replaced with the latest ones.

"It should be that the fuse failed to blow in time after the short circuit of the switch, and then the electric spark ignited the props next to it. When it was discovered, the fire was already very strong?"

Lu Yi recalled the investigation report in the newspaper, and the flashlight swept down the line.

Immediately, he saw a crooked mannequin, half of its body had melted, only the upper body still had a human figure, and it was lying on the circuit.

It's just that the face of the model doll is not as flat as others, but the facial features can be clearly distinguished!
