this is not a joke

Chapter 507

Wei'an is now alert, although it seems that the "note" says that he needs to stay for ten days.

But it doesn't mean that the moment I arrived is the first day, maybe it's the second day, the third day, or even the last day.

Of course, the possibility of the last day is unlikely, otherwise the level of this strange story would not be C-level. If you want to solve this kind of strange talk in one day, it may be more suitable for you to get A-level.

After pondering for a moment, Wei An took a look at the lobby which was close at hand, and found that there was no door panel at all in this place which was always open.

That is to say, the door of the lobby is damaged, and the door panel has long since disappeared.

If the eighth situation in the instructions for left-behind people happens, I can't close the lobby door at all.

That alone can't be done.

In any case, now we can only pray that the eighth situation of "all ten coffins are filled with the dead" will never happen.

But judging from the current rules, it is useless to kill those weird people in this strange story. If you don't follow the rules, the mission will still fail.

This has to do with the resilience and analytical capabilities of the participants, not force.

Of course, if there is a chance to start destroying the rule center, force will still come in handy, but it is not available for the time being.

Standing outside the door, Wei An took a deep breath, and slowly walked into the lobby where the coffins were placed. He had to observe the environment inside at this moment, and he couldn't let himself be too passive.

When he walked in, the oil lamp that had been burning suddenly shook, as if it felt a draft, and it almost went out.

Wei An hurriedly kept still until he saw that the wick of the oil lamp had stabilized and the flame was no longer flickering violently, then he continued walking inside.

When he came to the first coffin with the lid on the left, Wei An found that he couldn't see the appearance of the corpse inside, and there were no spirit tablets placed here. On the only wooden table in the lobby, there was only The oil lamp that cannot be extinguished.

Passing by those empty coffins, Wei An glanced inside, and saw that these coffins were indeed empty, and there was an unpleasant smell of decay, not only the smell of corpses, but also rotten wood and other unpleasant smells smell.

These empty coffins even contained some rags and rotting clothes, which should have belonged to the previous corpses and had not been taken away.

When he passed the second coffin with a lid, he found that the lid was not completely closed, revealing a gap three fingers wide.

However, the light emitted by the oil lamp was limited. Even if Wei An took a closer look, he couldn't see clearly the appearance of the corpse lying inside. He didn't know whether it was a man or a woman.

He hesitated for a moment, and recalled the contents of the "Instructions for Left Behind", and did not say that he could not touch the coffin or inspect the corpse.

However, he would not deliberately look at the corpse, but walked to the other side of the coffin, put his hands on the lid that was not tightly closed, and slowly returned it to its original position.

During this process, Wei An always felt that a gaze was staring at him.

This gaze didn't come from anywhere else, but it was inside this unclosed coffin.

He didn't know if it was an illusion or something, but he didn't pay attention to it. After he quickly closed the lid, he checked the other coffins.

There was also a corpse on the other side, and the other coffins were empty.

Wei An quickly frowned, because he realized that he hadn't seen any information about the three corpses, and there was nothing here to show the time when the three corpses entered the Yizhuang.

If the "Instructions for Left Behind" stipulated that each corpse should not be parked for more than three days, now Wei'an would have no idea how long these three corpses had been parked.

What if it's the last day?
He feels that this is the first unsafe factor at present.

I searched around in the lobby, but I didn't find any useful information, and I didn't see any copper coins, paper money, or white candles.

Among these key props, I only have the five emperors' coins on me, which can be used as copper coins, but there may also be paper money and white candles stored in other places in Yizhuang.

After all, this is Yizhuang, if you don't even give these basic props, it will be too unlike Yizhuang.

Wei An quickly walked out of the lobby and walked to the back of the lobby along the narrow courtyard passage.

Not long after, he saw a dwelling at the end of the dark passage. A lantern was hung on the top of the door of the residence, but there were no lanterns in the passage, which made the place look very dark. If someone stood somewhere in the passage, You can't find it unless you get close.

Now Wei An feels that he has become a little suspicious. This is because Yizhuang is a special place, and it is eerie and weird everywhere. If he is not suspicious in this situation, it seems that he is not normal.

Walking out of the passage, before approaching the room with the lantern lit, Wei An turned his head and glanced to the left, and found that this is also a long and narrow courtyard, and the left side is also connected, and he can go around to the front of the lobby from that direction.

That is to say, the architectural structure of this mansion is extremely simple. Except for the outermost wall, the main building is the lobby where the coffins are placed, the room behind where I live and a hut.

The wall and the main building are separated by two long and narrow courtyards.

Standing at the door of the residence room, with the light of the lantern above his head shining down, Wei An's body was coated with a light yellow layer by the lantern, giving people a miserable feeling.

He looked back at the entire courtyard, saw nothing unusual, the surroundings were dead silent, and then gently pushed the door in front of him.

The door opened, and it was dark after entering, but by the light of the lantern outside the door, one could see a table, a stool, and a wooden bed inside.

The bedding on the bed was very thin, and the bed board looked very hard.

Wei An didn't go over, but turned his attention to the things on the table, which was a notebook, and there was a fine brush and a rough used inkstone next to it.

In addition, there is a bulging cloth bag not far from the notebook, which seems to contain some things.

Wei An opened the cloth bag first, and found that there were indeed several copper plates, two half-used white candles, and a stack of paper money inside.

The props were originally in their own room.

In addition, there is a bundle of incense in this cloth bag.

Wei An picked up the notebook, and saw that there were dense records in it. When he turned to the last page with words, it was written in small letters on it: Liu Hongmei, a female corpse, died fiercely, and entered the village for a day.The male corpse, outside the royal family, died fiercely and entered the village for a day.The male corpse, old man Xia, died of illness and entered the village for two days.

Wei An quickly realized that the three corpses recorded here were the time when the three corpses in the lobby arrived at Yizhuang.

But he didn't know which corpse was Liu Hongmei and which one was Wang Yuanwai or Old Man Xia.

It was too late now, and we had to wait until dawn to identify the identities of these three people.

Wei An was about to close the door of the room and lie down on the hard bed overnight, but soon he realized a problem.

If it is night now, then I have to go out to patrol regularly. The first patrol is on the third watch, and the second is on the fifth watch.

But the problem is that I don't know the time!There are no clocks here.

He lowered his head and glanced at his attire, not to mention mobile phones, watches, etc., nothing in the real world could be brought in.

"People used to tell time at night through the moon and stars, but now..."

He looked up at the sky, there was no moonlight in this strange story, and even if there was moonlight and stars, he didn't know how to tell them apart.
