Book of the Otherworld

Chapter 7 For the Heirs of the Villa

In the living room of the villa, four people were sitting together, eating and chatting.

Because there is no electricity in this villa, we can only light candles. Fortunately, this villa has a fireplace, and the room is not too cold after the fire is lit.

Xing Tianyu is nestling on the sofa opposite the fireplace, listening to the howling mountain wind outside, the rustling of the leaves on the mountain, and the whining sound of the mountain wind blowing through the treetops, thinking about the surrounding area Apart from the four of them, it is estimated that there are no living people for dozens of miles. This feeling of being alone in the world makes Xing Tianyu feel an inexplicable feeling of loneliness and coldness in his heart.

The flames of the fire danced in the living room, like ghostly shadows, Xing Tianyu took a sip of instant noodles, trying to put aside the restless thoughts in his mind.

"By the way, does your uncle have any eccentricities? Why do you live in such a ghostly place and spend money to build such a big villa? You really have nowhere to spend your money, and it's hard for those who built villas back then How did you get the building materials up?"

Xiao Zhen complained while eating instant noodles.

Qin Ming didn't respond, he was going to check the whole room in high spirits, checking everything in this villa, you must know that these things are all his now, every time he finds something new, Qin Ming will check it from time to time. There was a burst of cheers.

As for Ning Wenrui, he has always had a thoughtful look since he entered the villa. It seems that there has been a question that bothers him and makes him want to get an answer. He is sitting in front of the fire, thinking about something while eating. .

In fact, Xing Tianyu was also puzzled. Today, this incident always felt inexplicable. However, he was used to the habit of burying his curiosity in his heart. A plan to find the truth.

However, as a famous saying goes, when you don't want to find trouble, trouble will often find you, and things will always turn around suddenly.

"Hey, here's a letter." Qin Ming, who was checking his property, suddenly exclaimed.

As he spoke, he walked over from the cabinet in the living room, and four people surrounded him. Xing Tianyu had a faint feeling that maybe this letter could explain the source of the uneasiness in his heart.

But I saw a sentence written on the envelope, [Leave it to the heir of the villa—Qin Gang. 】

"Your uncle seems to be very prescient. He actually prepared a suicide note in advance." Xing Tianyu said thoughtfully.

Ning Wenrui frowned suddenly, "Everyone, I think something is wrong with this matter. Qin Ming's uncle probably died not normally."

Qin Ming seemed to be taken aback, "You, what do you mean by that, what's wrong?"

"Think about it, Chinese people seldom have the habit of leaving a suicide note, and the average person will definitely not write a suicide note so early, unless the old man is dying, or is terminally ill, or—knows that his life is in danger.

For example, the kind of plots that are common in movies, a person is going to perform a mission to escape from death, and leave a suicide note for someone. Since your uncle is not old and dying, but died unexpectedly, but he It's a bit unreasonable to leave a suicide note in advance. "

He spoke his mind.Several people also reacted.

"I'm talking about Qin Ming, your uncle was murdered, right?" Ning Wenrui said with bright eyes as he had always had a rich imagination.

"It may also be terminally ill." Xing Tianyu was more rational.

"Never mind him, just open the letter to find out what's going on." Xiao Zhen said so.

Under the urging of several people, Qin Ming tore open the envelope in twos and twos, opened the folded letter paper, and saw what was written on it.

Qin Ming:

Hello, you were only a few months old when you left home, and I gave you your name. I didn't expect that life and death would be separated in a flash.

Uh... well, I was actually alive and well when I wrote this letter, but people have to die, right?So by the time you read this letter, I should be dead, or at least not in this world anymore. Of course, it does not rule out that you picked up the letter or accidentally read it.

Well, let's stop talking.Then, as my successor, I will leave you all my inheritance. If it did not continue to expand at that time, it should include this villa manor, deposits in the bank and all collections in the manor.

Don't underestimate these collections, I have collected them with all my heart. If you don't understand them, you must find someone to appraise them, otherwise it will be easy to sell them at a loss. Of course, if you are financially able, try not to sell them.

Say hello to your father for me, and say sorry to your grandparents’ graves. I left home very early, and I didn’t show my filial piety to them. .

In fact, I still want to tell you about my life. I have no children, and I always feel that there is no one to share and confide in. However, forget it, there are many things that you may not believe.

Well, that's all, there is another thing, I must remind you, never, never open the door of the basement of the villa, never, never enter that door, because behind that door there is Something you would never want to face.

Qin Gangliu

"Basement? There is a basement in this manor?" The letter was written very casually and ramblingly, but Qin Ming still grasped the point immediately, his eyes sparkled.

Just now he looked all over the room, there are a lot of valuable things, just these harvests have already made him elated, and when he thinks that there is still a basement to explore, he immediately becomes more excited, maybe there are more valuable things in it something.

But then he was a little embarrassed, his uncle clearly said never to open the basement, but this made him hesitate again.Curiosity and possible treasure on the one hand, and danger that an uncle can tell you about.

He looked at the three of them inquiringly, and Xiao Zhen immediately understood his thoughts.

"Guys, I think we need to help Qin Ming open the door of the basement to see what's inside?" Xiao Zhen said to the three of them almost obliged.

Xing Tianyu's eyelids twitched when he heard that.I can't beat it out of anger.

"I said there is nothing wrong with you. Uncle Qin Ming clearly wrote that you must never open the door to the basement. Or are you illiterate? Do you want me to read it for you?"

Xiao Zhen gave Xing Tianyu a white look, "Of course I can read, the question is, don't you find it strange? [There is something behind that door that you would never want to face], what Qin Ming never wants to face , aren't you curious?"

Xing Tianyu nodded, "Of course I am curious, and I also want to know what is behind the door, but if I have to say what experience I have learned from watching horror movies for so many years, it is that if I don't die, I won't die. Don't you See, there are always things you can't know in this world, and people are always curious, and if you try to figure out everything, you'll be exhausted. In that case, let it be, do it Isn't it good to be an ordinary person who is safe and stable?"

However, his words had no effect on the three of them. After hearing Xiao Zhen's words, Qin Ming also looked excited, as if he was quite looking forward to this adventure.

Ning Wenrui, on the other hand, had a dignified and inexplicably excited face, as if his doubts were about to be answered.

"Damn, I can't communicate with you!" Xiao Zhen looked at Qin Ming, "What about Lao Qin, let's see what's inside, it happens that the four of us are here, and we can help you if there is any danger. After we are all gone, you can't help but open the basement alone. If it is dangerous, no one will help.

Maybe your uncle left you something nice, maybe this is a test, if you don't dare to open the door you will miss what's inside. "He said and glanced at Ning Wenrui, and then made a look at Ning Wenrui.

Ning Wenrui hesitated for a moment, then suddenly smiled. If I guessed right, this should probably be a test.

"Test?" Qin Ming was obviously confused, "Why do you say that?"

Ning Wenrui talked eloquently: "Just think about it, if your uncle really doesn't want you to see something, what is the safest way?
Bury this thing and keep it from you at all. In this way, won't you be sure you can't see it?

But your uncle didn't do that. He put the things in a secret room, but left the key, and then left you a letter telling you not to open the door. Isn't it obvious that he is Leave the decision up to you, if I'm guessing right, there must be something complicated behind the door, maybe good or bad, if you don't have the idea and ability to take risks, then of course you won't open the door.

But if you have the idea and ability to take risks, then it’s right to open the door. I personally think you should open it and have a look. If you think it’s dangerous, the worst thing is to close it. "

These words are not incomplete, and when you think about it carefully, there is quite a bit of truth, then Qin Ming's eyes lit up when he heard it, "That's right, if uncle doesn't want me to open that door, there is no need to stay behind." Just bury this letter directly, so it seems that there is still something good."

"What if it's a corpse? What if it's drugs? What if it's arms?" Xing Tianyu suddenly said from the side.

Qin Ming was stunned for a moment, but he didn't mean to be afraid. He gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, "Let's open it and take a look. Even if it's something bad, at worst, we can close the door and pretend we didn't see it."

"Haha, that's right! How about Lao Xing, do you want to come together?" Xiao Zhen said, looking at Xing Tianyu with piercing eyes.

Xing Tianyu sighed, he knew that this time he was going to follow the crowd again.

He gave Xiao Zhen a blank look, "Do I have any other choice!"

After finishing speaking, he sighed again, "Well, if you must open the basement, I think I can only accompany you, but if things develop in the direction I don't want to see in the end, and in the end except for some mistakes If you want to, don’t blame me for saying afterwards—【Look, I knew it would be like this, why didn’t you bastards who told you to listen to me a long time ago just refused to listen.】”
