Chapter 138 Chapter 26 Two Masters

When the hunchback heard my question, his expression became more and more flustered, and he was speechless for a long time.I have long thought that the hunchbacked old man is a bit strange, why he always knows the castle very well sometimes, but sometimes he doesn't know it at all.I wanted to ask for a long time, but it would be impolite to ask the bottom line because I live here.However, now that so many people have died in a row, and there are such terrifying women appearing, if all the problems are not clarified, people may continue to die. "What notes are you talking about?" the hunchbacked old man asked in confusion.

"Ah?" The hunchbacked old man's question stunned me. I thought he knew about it, but he didn't even know if there was such a volume as Tomb Raiders' Notes. "Okay, I won't ask you this. You don't even know that there is an ancient tomb underground, so you should know what's in the hall, right? That desk?" I asked, pointing to another part of the hall. "I also..." The hunchbacked old man fumbled a few words, and the voice behind him disappeared. I saw his reaction and thought it was a bit funny. Although I expected him to answer like this, but seeing that the hunchbacked old man really didn't know the meaning of that decoration, I thought it was a little funny.Since this decoration appeared in the castle, he should know its meaning.I remember, when I left Bayi Town, I was curious about the child who appeared in Xiao Lin's house, and the same table arrangement in her house as here.Later, I met a passer-by who asked me in Chinese before I realized that I had misunderstood Xiaolin.

At that time, I really thought I had seen a ghost. Counting the years, Xiao Lin's dead child was about ten years old, just like the child I saw.But, I was wrong.It was a simple question, but I made it complicated. The child is really alive, and it is not Xiao Lin's child at all.Xiaolin's husband is from Menba. They are enthusiastic and unrestrained, and they advocate freedom. The gates are almost always unlocked, and they can come in and out freely, and their things have never been stolen.The children I saw that day were actually children from the next door or another family who ran in to play. This kind of situation probably happens often, so Xiao Lin's husband didn't think it was strange to see it.No wonder they didn't call that child for dinner that night, because it wasn't their child at all.

However, the things on the table were unusual. There was a silver bowl filled with clear water, a coin at the bottom of the bowl, and two burning butter lamps on the left and right sides.At first, I was also confused by this decoration, thinking it was a ritual of a cult, but then the enthusiastic passer-by told me that it was something used to pay homage to the dead.When Kobayashi's child died, of course those things would be displayed.Here, the family members of the deceased cannot grieve, otherwise the deceased will not enter heaven, but will go to hell.The water, fire and coins on the table are "necessities" for the deceased to continue living in another world. How long the butter lamp is lit generally depends on the family status of the deceased.Ghee is still quite expensive here, but Xiaolin’s family is not bad, she can afford a car, and I don’t have the blessing to buy a car.Therefore, the butter lamp in her home has been burning, probably they also want their children to live happily and happily in another world.I have always felt chilled, because when Xiaolin said that her child died, she always smiled happily, thinking that she was hard-hearted, but it turned out that this is the case. If you are sad, it will be difficult for the deceased to be happy in another world.

In this way, the decoration on the table in the hall of the ancient castle shows that a person died in the castle, and the owner made that decoration because he loved this person so much.But, who will die?If the hunchbacked old man can be clear about the things in his previous life, and can push aside the matter of the tomb and notes, then the things on the desk should always be clear.The above things are only thirty years old at most, let alone say that he is under thirty years old.I said these things, but the hunchbacked old man was already sweating profusely, and then he said something that I didn't expect: "Okay, okay, I know you've already seen it, I'm recruiting, I'm not this old man at all. Fort people."

"Ah?" I opened my mouth wide. I never thought that the hunchbacked old man would answer like this. I have guessed many times in my heart, but I just imagined him telling the secrets and history of this castle, but I didn't know that he said that he and the castle It doesn't matter. "You can don't shirk your responsibility at this time. How come you say this is not your place?" Xu Feng was also very surprised, so he asked seriously. "Really, I didn't lie to you. When did you hear me say that this is my place?" The hunchbacked old man began to argue for himself, "The things here have nothing to do with me!"

"How is it possible, is there any inconvenience for you to tell us?" Xu Feng still did not give up. "Forget it, forget it, don't force him, I think his words are more true than others." I shrugged and said helplessly. In fact, I should have thought of this long ago when I contacted the behavior of the hunchbacked old man.He has always been vague about the ancient castle, and he has no Monba or Tibetan temperament at all, and he has no understanding of their customs and taboos.The most important thing is that the hunchbacked old man showed sadness in this series of death incidents, no matter whether he was pretending or sincere, it did not conform to the customs of the Monba people.Because Monba people have hundreds of taboos, the most important ones are not to lie, steal, or mourn when a dead person dies.Three people died, and the hunchbacked old man also expressed his sorrow three times. Could it be that he wanted these three people to go to hell?Monba people are hospitable, kind and generous, and it is impossible to have such a performance.But, if this is the case, then how did the hunchbacked old man become the current owner of the castle?

"You said you are not the owner of this place, but what about the original owner, how did you get here!" I asked sharply, suddenly there was an oppressive majesty in my words, and I was surprised.Probably worried that the longer things are delayed, the more unfavorable it will be to our lives and safety.At such a juncture, people will exert 200% of their potential. "This..." The hunchbacked old man became a mother-in-law again, unable to utter a word for a long time. I saw the anxiety and panic of the hunchbacked old man, and a few pictures ran in my mind, and I was even more surprised.For some reason, a picture from an old newspaper floated in my mind, the news about a bank robbery, two of the three criminals on it were very similar to Old Scar and Blue Eye, and when I read the newspaper, Blue Eye deliberately Destroy the newspaper, it seems they did have something to do with the robbery.It's just that the above photos are of the three teenagers, and there is no photo of the hunchbacked old man.The strangest thing is, where did the other robber go? Why did he only have old scars and blue eyes? Was there any accident?When I thought of this, I recalled the conversation between Lao Ba and the others. They, like Yang Siyi, have deliberately traveled to and from Medog over the years. Leaving aside the girl surnamed Yang, the reason why they are so persistent in coming to such a difficult place is probably the reason. That is - the money that was robbed back then is hidden here!

"Is that so, tell me quickly!" Xu Feng asked sternly, his voice raised a lot of decibels, and he didn't know why he suddenly cared so much about the robbery case decades ago. "You guys really surprised me constantly. That's right, I have something to do with this case. It's been a long time since I talked like this. It's really comforting." The hunchbacked old man smiled easily, with no guilt in his eyes. "However, the newspaper didn't publish your photo, nor did it say that you existed. It seems that three teenagers did it." I questioned.

"Of course they don't know that there is someone like me, and you don't even think about it. Three teenagers, none of whom are 16 years old, where did they get the guns, where did they have the guts? Hmph, I gave them all." The hunchbacked old man smiled. At this point, I stopped smiling, and my eyes were empty. "At that time, I was just a traveling doctor. When I arrived in Shijiazhuang City where the robbery took place, I found a lot of guns in a ruined building. By coincidence, I met three teenagers. So, I instigated them, and finally persuaded them to rob the bank, but I didn't know that they killed someone, and I didn't intend to kill anyone at all."

I was surprised when I heard it. I have lived in Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province for so long, and I don’t know which ruins hide guns. It’s probably a hunchbacked old man bragging.I asked, what happened afterwards?The hunchbacked old man said that he didn't expect to run away at that time, and he didn't expect to find out the details of the three teenagers so quickly, so the four ran to Tibet with the money.In order to avoid being hunted down, they went to the most remote place, but unexpectedly, they had a dispute.One young man wants to go home and surrender himself, but the hunchbacked old man wants to keep the money alone, while the other two young men want to share the money equally, and then go their separate ways.In the end, Blue Eye killed the boy who was about to surrender, and that night, the hunchbacked old man sneaked away with money, and he didn't know what happened to the other two boys later. I was so angry when I heard that, because of my own greed, I ruined the bright future of the three teenagers. The old man with a hunchback is really abominable.However, the hunchbacked old man doesn't look so sinister now, perhaps his psychology has changed after decades of living alone.I was about to ask, where did the money go, and where did the original owner of the castle go, but at this moment, there was a gust of wind, and many butter lamps were immediately extinguished.The castle was immediately occupied by darkness again, and we all became nervous, thinking to ourselves, maybe that damned woman ran out, isn't she afraid of the light? I asked Xu Feng and the others to stay in the lobby, and I wanted to go to the corridor to see what happened.However, Xu Feng grabbed me. He said that I was injured in the chest, so I should stay here, and he would go if I wanted to go.I was so moved that I wanted to cry. Xu Feng is not a bad person. Although he made the wound on his chest, I was still surprised by Xu Feng's change and didn't know what he was thinking.The most unlucky thing was that when we were humbled, a large group of mosquitoes, big and small, suddenly swarmed in, and all the butter lamps went out instantly.After a while, that ghostly woman appeared in the center of the mosquito swarm. Her hair circled her eyes a few times, completely blocking the light from entering.Although her eyes have degenerated to the point of blindness like the real cave creatures, from now on, this woman is still afraid of light. We were at a loss for a while, but at this moment the woman tried to move her lips and said a very awkward Chinese: "You are all going to die!"
