this is not a joke

Chapter 511 Liu Hongmei

Wei An opened the door of the lobby where the coffin was placed, and the oil lamp on the innermost table shook as the door opened, but the flame quickly became stable.

The old woman followed him into the lobby and came to Old Man Xia's coffin.

Wei An glanced outside the door and asked, "You didn't bring the coffin?"

The old woman didn't answer, but walked to the side slowly, and pushed the lid of Old Man Xia's coffin away, with such strength that Wei An's pupils shrank slightly.

He immediately reached out to catch the sliding coffin lid, otherwise, if it fell to the ground, the lid might break.

After finally placing the coffin lid on the ground carefully, the old woman had already pulled out Old Man Xia's body, and opened her mouth while putting it on the ground.

"How can there be a coffin after death for a miserable person all his life? We can't afford it, we can't afford it."

After putting Old Man Xia on the ground and lying flat, the old woman pulled out a piece of old cloth that she had prepared earlier from under her coir raincoat. Although the gray old cloth was a bit old, fortunately, it was not damaged.

Wrapping the old cloth around Old Man Xia's body, and binding it up and down firmly, the old woman dragged her head and walked towards the gate tremblingly.

Wei An was going to help. If it didn't work, he could help the old woman carry Old Man Xia directly to the wooden cart parked outside.

But when he bent over, the old woman stopped him immediately, obviously this eccentric old man didn't want to be favored by anyone.

It took some time to drag Old Man Xia's body like this, and he walked outside the gate of Yizhuang.

With all her strength, the old woman dragged Old Man Xia onto the trolley, supported the trolley for a while, and then pushed the corpse away with three bumps.

The figure quickly disappeared in the jungle.

The light rain in the sky seemed to be increasing at this moment.

After Wei An watched the figure disappear completely, he was about to close the door.

However, at the moment of closing the door, he squinted his eyes and glanced calmly at another direction in the forest. The door closed quickly, but there was a small stone stuck in the middle of the door, which was not easy to detect.

This made the closed door wider than before.

I went back to the lobby and checked, especially the consumption of oil lamps.

Wei An sighed in his heart, since someone had collected the corpse, now he didn't have to bury Old Man Xia in the mass grave at midnight.

Go back to your room and wait.

The minutes and seconds passed, during which he squinted for a while, and woke up refreshed, as if he had slept all night.

After changing the incense, I sat back on the bench under the lantern outside the residence, picked up the workbook in boredom, and prepared to write down what happened that day first.

Wei An flipped through the pages one by one. When he turned to the last page of the second participant's record, he suddenly noticed something strange. He carefully smoothed the gap between the two pages and found that there were some uneven edges and corners between them. .

After touching it, Wei An confirmed that a page had been torn off here.

It seems that the second participant wrote something else in this ghost talk task, but it was torn out.

The content on this page may be important.

After thinking about it for a while, Wei An came to the conclusion that the person who tore off this sheet might be the third participant, that is, the person who stayed behind in Yizhuang before him.

Why did he tear up this piece of paper from the workbook?What was written on the paper?
Wei An was puzzled.

And he still had another guess, could the participant before him be Binbin's father who took one of the coffin nails?

But Binbin's father should be the character in this strange story, and he cannot be a participant.

Could it be that someone replaced Binbin's father, or for some reason there was an overlap between the two characters, and there was a phenomenon that I can't know at present, which caused this person to be able to "lock the door" in the first place? It appears in the mission, and it can also appear in this "Yi Zhuang" mission.

Also as a participant, at least this is the case for myself now.

While thinking about it, Wei An raised his head and looked in the direction of the main entrance through the dark passage.

It's three o'clock.

Wei An walked through the aisle on the side of the hut with ease, and began to watch the night around the entire lobby.

This time there was one less dead person in the lobby, and he felt that the burden on his body seemed to be much lighter. When passing by the door, he leaned into the crack of the door and took a look inside through the kerosene lamp that had been burning in the lobby.

Business as usual.

He had checked the lamp oil before, and it was still sufficient to last until dawn.

Just as Wei An was about to look away, he suddenly saw five slender, white fingers protruding from the top of Liu Hongmei's coffin that had been showing a three-finger-wide gap.

"This woman... has turned into a dead body?!" Wei An was startled.

He immediately withdrew his eyes and didn't look carefully, because according to the "notes", if there is any abnormality in the lobby during the night watch, don't look at it, don't worry about it, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

Although Liu Hongmei died violently, she didn't know how she died, but her whole face was swollen and her head was heavily congested, but her body and limbs were pale, forming a strong contrast from top to bottom.

Wei An suspected that she was strangled to death, but her body was a little shrunken, and it didn't feel like it.

He withdrew his gaze and left immediately, went around to the left side of the lobby, and entered the dark passage.

During this process, the coffin lid could be heard ringing in the lobby.

Just as Wei An entered the passage, the temporary hall door where the coffin was placed suddenly creaked and was opened.

Wei An was familiar with this voice, and he paused when he heard it.

Soon he heard the sound of small footsteps coming out after the lobby door opened.

Without hesitation, Wei An immediately accelerated towards his residence, and the sound of footsteps walking out of the lobby came straight to this passage, and the sound was also very fast.

Wei An was still in the dark passage at this time, and he started to trot directly.

The footsteps behind him rustled, as if they were walking, running, or jumping, it was extremely weird.

Although he was very curious, Wei An would never look back. While the sound was approaching quickly, he had already run to the lit lantern outside his room.

Of course, if he could fight back, he might have taken out his weapon a long time ago and smashed the chasing guy to pieces, but this must not be the case now, otherwise the mission will fail.

Maybe the lantern above his head has a deterrent effect, maybe it's because his room has formed a barrier like a quilt.

After Wei An entered the residence, the thing chasing into the passage stopped moving forward, but it seemed to have been standing there, motionless in the darkness.

After closing the door, Wei An crouched behind the door and looked through the crack of the door, but the passage was too dim to see clearly.

So he put on the "Liu Gui's eyeball" and looked over again, and immediately saw Liu Hongmei's gray figure standing in the passageway, staring straight in this direction.

Her swollen head seemed to be getting bigger, out of proportion to her frail body, and she stood expressionlessly in the dark, extremely weird.

At this moment, Wei An didn't hear a slight sound coming from the direction of the gate of Yizhuang. It was a strong and slender wooden stick protruding from the crack of the door, pressing down on the door bolt, and pushing the door bolt aside. moving sound.

Wei An didn't hear it, but Liu Hongmei, who was in the dark passage, could hear it clearly. She turned her swollen head a little stiffly, made a gurgling sound, turned towards the door, and then turned around, as if she was jumping. , the body floated away.
