The black cat obeyed Jingtang's order and jumped to Lu Xi's feet. His green eyes glanced at him, leading the feline Animals are born with aloofness.

"Meow~"

Seeing the black cat slip out from the open door, Lu Xi hurriedly followed, walked to the door and glanced at Jingtang behind him.

Jingtang: "I'm not going."

Seeing Jingtang turning his wheelchair and turning his back to him, his back looked particularly lonely in the dark room, Lu Xi thought to himself, it would be too cruel to ask him to say goodbye to Jingcheng in person, so he nodded: "Then You wait for me here."

He followed the black cat out of the room and walked up to the attic. The lock on the black door was still hanging on the latch. The black cat squatted at Lu Xi's feet, grabbed his trouser legs with his paws and meowed. Only then did Lucy notice that the bell on the black cat's neck was actually a key.

He squatted down, took off the key from the cat's neck, and inserted it into the keyhole. With a click, the black door slowly opened from the inside...

Lucy pushed the door open, and with the creaking sound of the door opening, her heart tightened. Chest, every time I approached this door, I would have horrible hallucinations. This was also the scene of the first fire that broke out four years ago. Lu Xi subconsciously thought that this must be the scariest place in the entire mansion.

But when he touched the switch behind the door to light up the entire room, what he saw was completely opposite to what he imagined.

The place is spacious and bright, with bright and clean windows. Neat bookcases cover the four walls. One bookcase is filled with photos of the Jing family, from the black and white photos of the ancestors to the last family photo of the Jing family below.

The strange thing is that among all the family photos, Jingtang is missing. Lu Xi searched from the first photo to the last photo, but still couldn't find him.

Only in the photo album in the desk drawer was a photo of Jingcheng and Jingtang. In the photo, Jingtang looks to be only seven or eight years old. He is being held by Jingcheng's shoulders. His cute little face is full of displeasure, and his other little hand is pushing Jingcheng, as if he is dissatisfied with Jingcheng's intimacy.

Seeing this, Lu Xi couldn't help but burst into laughter. It turned out that her brother Jiang was not liked by the little yandere from the beginning, or was it that Jingtang was always this awkward no matter who he liked?

Just as Lu Xi was about to take out the photo and take a closer look, he heard the wall clock behind him suddenly ring.

The sound of the bell seemed particularly ethereal in the huge attic, and it echoed faintly against the surrounding walls.

Lu Xi turned around and looked at the sounding wall clock opposite. Only then did he realize that the clock was not hanging on the wall, but was entirely embedded in the wall. The sandalwood cover that was three feet wide and six feet long was buckled on the wall, with 12 numbers on it. It is carved from the stone wall behind you. The rotating shaft that fixes the pointer is a piece of bright red jade, which trembles slightly as the pointer rotates.

"Boom -"

the last bell ended, and the three hands pointed to twelve at the same time. Suddenly everything in front of him seemed to be still. The photos that Lucy had moved just now all automatically moved back to their original positions. Even the black cat under his feet suddenly disappeared before his eyes.

Following the sound of footsteps, Jingcheng and the housekeeper walked in from the door, but neither of them seemed to notice Lu Xi's presence.

After entering the door, they began to discuss tomorrow's itinerary. Soon, a puff of black smoke came in through the crack of the door. Before the two of them could escape, there was a deafening explosion in the corridor. When the housekeeper opened the door, the fire in the corridor had already burned out. Outside the door, sparks quickly burned the attic carpet, sending thick smoke billowing into the attic.

The housekeeper wanted to move the wardrobe and send Jingcheng out of the window, but the second explosion happened again, directly blowing through the entire attic floor. Jingcheng and the housekeeper were completely submerged in the sea of ​​​​fire.

Lucy stood at the window and heard a man and woman arguing downstairs. He moved the bookcase and saw the maid pulling a man in a jacket.

Maid: "Did you set the fire? Awei, why did you do this?"

The man pushed her away impatiently and tried desperately to run out: "You know nothing!" He held up a hand with only four fingers. Ruby: "If I don't replace the gambling debt, do you want to see them chop off all my fingers! Let's sell this gem. Not only can we pay off the gambling debt, but we can also make enough money for the wedding. Everything All the evidence was destroyed by the fire, and the police couldn't find it even if they tried to find me!"

The maid looked at the man's grinning face in the firelight in disbelief, and gradually burst into tears: "No, Awei, I have already called the police, you stay here and follow me! I'm going to surrender, you can't make any more mistakes..."

The man was furious, grabbed the maid by her hair and kicked her to the ground, "Go away! You're going to jail yourself, crazy woman!"

Just as the man ran out of the door. In an instant, the window on the second floor was shattered with a loud noise, and then a black shadow fell from the second floor and hit the maid straight in front of her.

Seeing Jingtang fall to the ground, with a large amount of blood flowing out from under him, against the background of the earth, like a poppy flower blooming on the black curtain, Lu Xi's throat tightened, even though he knew that all this was just a replay of what happened four years ago. It was such a scene, but he still couldn't help but stare at Jingtang's falling back, his eyes became sour and his vision blurred.

The maid looked at Jingtang who fell in front of her and screamed wildly. After a while, she staggered to the foot of a tree, threw her belt on the branch and tied it in a tight knot, put it on her neck, and quickly His arms hung stiffly, no longer struggling.

Lu Xi saw a white light floating out of Jingtang's body, and then the car parked in the courtyard suddenly started on its own and rushed out towards the mansion gate.

Now the puzzles of the second and third mission cards are solved.

Jingtang is the only survivor in the mansion.
