I collect cultural relics in the human world

Chapter 37 Synesthesia ([-])

Lao Chaofeng looked at the crumpled unknown object in his hand inexplicably. The anger that had just arisen was instantly extinguished by the flash of the little tiger teeth, and he put the candy wrapper into his gown pocket as if resigned.

"By the way, this dress..." He Si chewed gum, still feeling awkward, and then noticed that she was wearing a strange dress.

"It's mine. I just saw you cold." Jiang Huai immediately came up to him.

"No need." The sticky and disgusting feeling came to her heart again. Even though she knew it was rude, He Si immediately threw the clothes into Jiang Huai's hands, like throwing away a hot potato.

Jiang Huai's face looked a little embarrassed. He silently took the clothes and did not put them on. Instead, he hung them casually between his elbows and stood lonely outside the three of them.

He Si couldn't bear it, and she didn't know why she reacted so violently to this dress. It was like... She racked her brains, and there was something wandering in her chaotic thoughts. Every time she saw it, she was about to be caught, but... And immediately disappeared without a trace.

He Si's silence seemed to Jiang Huai to confirm his disgust towards him. What made him even more depressed was that he didn't know where this disgust came from.

He was a rapidly rising star of tomorrow. Thanks to his good looks and high education, he had everything he wanted, a smooth career, and a bright future.But overnight, his colleagues died suddenly, he was plagued by misfortune, he was rejected by others, and his life was in danger.His eyes were dejected, he threw the clothes on the cabinet aside and sighed.

"Brother, now is not the time to be sad, it's more important to save your life." Fan Yu patted him on the shoulder, "Is this where you saw the body?"

"Yes." Jiang Huai nodded with strength.

"Were you the first to discover it?"

"Yes... er, no."

"Pa." Fan Yu snapped his fingers in front of Jiang Huai. After a crisp sound, he looked at Jiang Huai again, "Are you awake?"

Jiang Huai seemed to have resurfaced like a drowned man, with a surprised look on his face, and finally found his breath.Thinking of the state just now, even he himself felt baffled.

"What's wrong with me?"

"Maybe you're overly worried," Fan Yu didn't say much and continued to ask, "Is that true?"

"No, it was the staff from the props team who discovered him first, but it happened so suddenly that everyone thought it was a prank at first, so..."

"No wonder." Fan Yu muttered to himself as he squatted on the ground and looked at the chaotic and noisy footprints among the bloodstains.

"Has your program team ever done similar pranks before?" After taking off the clothes, He Si's depression was gone. She already regretted her previous actions, but now she knew that Jiang Huai had also received the magnetic field. Affected, he felt sympathy for the same problem, and immediately turned to Jiang Huai and participated in the discussion of the case.

"Yes. Because it is an escape room variety show, it always has elements of horror and suspense, so colleagues sometimes make some underworld jokes." Jiang Huai didn't know the purpose of He Si's question, but he still gave it seriously. answer.

"Have you ever gotten into any trouble because of your jokes?"

"That's not true." Jiang Huai was startled and somewhat understood what He Si meant. "You mean... our previous pranks hurt someone, so he came back for revenge?"

"I'm just asking casually."

Jiang Huai took this issue very seriously. He frowned and thought about it carefully before replying: "It's all just a small fight between colleagues. However, in a live escape room show where the audience interacted a few years ago, because of the props The sudden malfunction frightened the guests. Later it was discovered that someone used the props privately and then forgot to adjust them properly. Director Huang went berserk on the spot, causing the prop master to lose his job, but it was not as serious as killing anyone..."

"Do you have the contact information of the prop master?" Fan Yu didn't want to let go of any possibility.Jiang Huai checked his phone and said, "I don't have it here, but I can ask my assistant to help me find it first."

Fan Yu nodded, his eyes still focused on the blood stains in front of him, and said without looking back: "If you get in touch, send me a message."

"know."

After Jiang Huai finished speaking, Qin Jian, who had been silent on the case, took over: "Are you familiar with this venue?"

"After walking through it a few times, this is where the secret room begins, and there are several compartments behind it."

"If you walk through it all, can you tell if anything is missing?"

Jiang Huai hesitated for a while and shook his head: "However, photos were taken after each room was finalized, which may come in handy, but now they are all handed over to the police."

"Well," Qin Jian didn't hesitate and continued to ask, "What does your program mean?"

Lao Chaofeng spoke harshly, but He Si heard his embarrassment.Escape rooms, suspenseful detectives, reality shows, these trendy things for young people were probably beyond his scope of cognition, so he kept wandering around this room without asking to walk through the entire secret room.

"Sir, you want to know the plot of your secret room." He Si added.

"Oh, there's a script, I'll show it to you."

"No need, since there are other compartments, let's talk as we walk." Qin Jian said, preparing to leave the room, when Jiang Huai quickly opened the door to the next compartment.

"This is actually the palace of the River God."

He slowly told the whole story while leading the way.

Qianxi Town is an ancient village that is almost isolated from the world. It rarely communicates with outsiders. It is built on the mountain and lives by the water. The people are simple and self-sufficient.

In the easternmost part of the town, there is a high mountain called Juhu Mountain.It looks like a giant tiger, lying facing south, with winding hills in the north, forming a circle from west to south, like the tail of a giant tiger. Qianxi Town is located in this circle, which is why it has become a paradise.

When the innocent girl mistakenly entered this town, she saw green bricks and white tiles, blue waves in the stream, fish playing in the water, and swaying awnings.It wasn't until she and several other young women were tied to a bamboo raft, rushed into a dark cave along a fast stream, and arrived at the river god's palace in the cold underground current, that she realized that this was not a paradise, but a paradise. A man-eating den.

It turns out that for thousands of years, Qianxi Town has relied on water, but it is also afraid of water.

Every year during the rainy season, when the water level rises, the deep pool on Juhu Mountain will burst its banks, flooding thousands of miles, and the people of Qianxi Town will have a hard time making a living.I don’t know since when, rumors spread among the villagers that the River God was angry. In order to appease the River God’s anger, human sacrifices were made.

But the villagers didn't know that the girl was not naive. She had a dagger hidden in her sleeve and was waiting for today.She pretended to be kidnapped and went deep into the hinterland in order to find out the cause of her sister's disappearance.No matter who the river god is, he must hand over his sister or his life.

But the girl didn't know that the River God had never asked for a bride. He was now waiting in this gaudy room filled with red.He wanted to see who was using his name to cause trouble, cause trouble, and ruin his reputation.

Of course, neither of them thought that this altar would be a place where there was no return from the very beginning.
