Chapter 648 Xiaomei's New Invention
……
Su Yan and Rong Ruo stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the Northwest Palace that Xiao Mei mentioned.
Now it has disappeared.
What replaced it was a long river that meandered like a snake - Wanguizhong, with rolling yellow water, churning mud and sand, and the water was mighty.
[Xiao Mei? What should I do?] Su Yan wanted to give up. Curiosity is fine, but it cannot be without limits.
Xiao Mei scanned the nearby Wan Gui Tomb and said to Su Yan in surprise: [The Northwest Palace is underwater and has been submerged. Host, go in and take a look. If you can't find it, it's not too late to give up. ]
Su Yan looked at Rong Ruo who was standing beside her, "It's up to you to make the water recede and reveal the remains of the palace below."
Rong Ruo was a quasi-sea god. Controlling water was as easy as breathing. "Open!"
The dim and ferocious river water suddenly became extremely docile, quietly retreating into the distance, revealing the Northwest Palace under the water.
The dilapidated Northwest Palace no longer has the prosperity it once had in the past. Only the four large golden characters on the door remain, indicating the identity of this ruined building.
Su Yan said to Rong Ruo, "I'll go down and take a look. You stay here to keep watch. Don't let any ghosts from the Tomb of Ten Thousand Ghosts come over."
Rong Ruo had experienced how powerful Su Yan was in the Ghost Vine Forest, so he was not worried about her safety. In fact, she always underestimated her own strength sometimes. If she really had to fight to the death, even a God would have to give her some ground.
Not to mention anything else, the treasures on his body are enough to intimidate people and make them dare not provoke him.
The last time Xiao Qi went back to the Sea Palace, he whispered to him - the God Clan now has an unwritten rule that no one can mess with the Goddess!
Su Yan turned into a little white mouse and approached the Northwest Palace cautiously.
Rong Ruo looked at her with a smile on his face, "It's good to be confused!"
The reason why this river is called Wanguizhong is because there are thousands of water ghosts hiding in it.
A big ghost noticed the abnormality here and came to check what was going on.
But when he saw the divine light emanating from Rong Ruo, he turned around and ran away, and even decided not to come to this area of water for at least a thousand years!
Su Yan said to Xiao Mei: [This broken place, won’t it collapse completely once I come in? ]
Xiaomei replied: [Host, don't worry, I will protect you. 】
Only then did Su Yan poke her head into the gate of the Northwest Palace.
"Bang--" The golden door plaque fell to the ground!
Su Yan was so frightened that her hair stood up all over her body. Then she slowly turned around and looked at the broken door plaque. She immediately pasted several defensive talismans on her body. This one was more reliable than Xiao Mei...
She opened the system map and searched inch by inch, even underground.
She entered a room whose doors and windows had long been broken.
There were traces of water everywhere inside, and there was nothing in a golden cage. Su Yan took a look at it and put it away. She would give it to Zulu later so that he could raise some livestock.
There was a map on the rotten table. Su Yan turned back into human form, picked up the map, shook off the sand on it, and a clear route map suddenly appeared.
After so many years, the Northwest Palace has rotted away, but this map has not been damaged at all. It can be imagined that this map should not be an ordinary item.
[Xiaomei, check this map.] Su Yan put the map into the system space.
Xiaomei was quite excited. She liked this kind of data material the most. [Okay host.]
Su Yan checked the room again. The system map showed that there was a compartment with a skeleton inside, a human skeleton!
She pushed aside the rotten bookshelf, revealing the compartment at the back, or the secret room.
Because I had seen the skeletons on the system map before, it wasn’t that scary.
There is also a table in this secret room. There should have been something on it before. A dagger was nailed to the table with the bull's eye hitting it.
After checking the room, Su Yan walked towards the skeleton.
He was lying on a bench by the window, holding a tattered book between his fingers. [Xiao Mei, can you restore his appearance? ]
[Of course, host.] Xiaomei replied.
Soon, in Su Yan's eyes, the skeleton turned into a tall young man with handsome features.
Suddenly, the young man stood up.
The shabby secret room gradually turned into a luxurious and elegant room.
The young man walked backwards to the table, pulled out the dagger on the table, and put it into his waist. On the table was a map that looked similar to the one Su Yan had put away, but there were some differences in some places.
【Xiaomei, what's going on? 】
[Hehe~ This is Xiaomei's new development, the detective mode. ]
[Detective mode... You really are a little genius who loves inventions~, so is this the deductive reasoning method to restore the scene? ]
【Yes host. 】
Su Yan laughed. In that case, let’s see what Xiaomei can do.
The young man put the map away, left the secret room, and went to the outer room. This was a study room, filled with books, and the bookshelves reached the roof.
He put the map on the bookshelf, then took out a map from the gap between the bookshelves and put it on the desk. This map was the one that Su Yan put away.
There was an empty teacup on the table. The man picked up the cup and the tea turned from nothing to half a cup as he sipped it...
[This man had no external injuries. After drinking this cup of tea, he laid out the map and read a book on the recliner by the window, and then he died? ]
[Yes, that is the case at present.]
Su Yan couldn't find the teacup, so she couldn't trace the time when that cup of tea was brought in, or even who brought it in.
Time withdraws from deductive reasoning.
Su Yan looked at the skeleton in front of her and turned away.
After she left the room, the skeleton's head suddenly moved... The dark, empty eye sockets seemed to be looking at Su Yan's back!
Su Yan went to other rooms to look for clues.
Xiaomei seemed to like the newly developed deductive reasoning method and would often ask Su Yan to enter the deductive scene.
Finally, they came to a room that was better preserved.
Su Yan saw a teacup and picked it up... [Huh? Isn't this the teacup that the man drank from? It's actually in this room.]
Looking back at the time of the teacup, it was Aunt Huan who finally placed it here.
And it was Nanny Huan who served tea to the young man.
Nanny Huan had smeared something on the edge of the teacup.
[Inside a big family, there is danger. A servant may not be a servant, but a murderer.] Su Yan picked up the teacup and put it into the system space for Xiaomei to study.
【murderer?】
[Well, that skeleton was originally a living human. If it was a ghost, even if it had developed a physical body, it would disappear with his death, and would not leave behind this carbon-based substance.]
[Xiao Mei checked the data of the skeleton and compared it with the human information in the database. It should be a 27-year-old male human.]
[Yes. Okay, Xiaomei, we have to go straight to the target to find the skull lock.] Su Yan looked towards the top of the mountain. Rong Ruo was standing there, like a guardian god, bringing warmth and softness to her heart.
