Chapter 258 Completed
Su Wuli turned around and walked towards the locked door.
I inserted the key into the lock and turned it; the lock opened.
The door opened, revealing a large lobby.
It's bigger than any of the previous rooms.
Directly opposite the door is a wall with huge portraits of the ancestors hanging on it.
Below the portrait is a long altar table, which is filled with memorial tablets.
The air was filled with the scent of sandalwood and paper money ash, even stronger than inside the ancestral hall.
"Why are there memorial tablets again?" Wen Yan stood at the door, not daring to go in.
Chen Kai went inside and counted the offerings at the altar.
Seventeen.
Lin Luchi followed behind him and asked in a low voice, "Should we pray?"
"No need," Chen Kai said. "We didn't even offer any prayers at the ancestral hall earlier."
Liu Yanfei walked to the offering table, looked at the words on the memorial tablet, and read out a name.
"Chen Chongyuan".
"They are clearly the same memorial tablets, so why are they in two different places?" Wen Yan still didn't understand.
"Let's increase the horror atmosphere," Chen Kai suggested.
Indeed, there are far too many memorial tablets.
Is this a family portrait of the General's Mansion?
The final mystery should lie on the memorial tablet.
Could the seventeen memorial tablets be connected by the number seventeen?
Su Wuli stood in front of the offering table for a while, then reached out and touched the leftmost piece.
The memorial tablet can be moved.
It has a tenon at the bottom that inserts into a groove in the wooden base.
Su Wuli then pulled out a few pieces and turned to the others, saying, "This can be moved; it probably needs to be sorted or something."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone tried it out.
"That should be it," Sun Yanbai said. "There have been similar setups before."
"If that's the case, then this should be the final checkpoint," Lin Luchi analyzed.
Upon hearing this, Chen Kai immediately tried it out and arranged them according to their official rank.
However, there was no response.
Wen Yan sorted them by age, but it still wasn't right.
Arranged according to the number of strokes in the name.
wrong.
I've tried everything I could, but nothing works.
Su Wuli took a step back, turning her head to look at Yu Chen with a troubled expression.
A pair of pleading eyes met his gaze.
Her face was covered, so Yu Chen's expression couldn't be seen; she only saw him glance at her.
My gaze shifted from her face to the memorial tablets.
He raised his right hand and made a gesture in the air, from left to right.
The movements were so effortless, as if they were just casual gestures.
Su Wuli looked in the direction he was pointing, and saw the fifth position from the left.
She walked over, pulled out the leftmost memorial tablet, and inserted it into the fifth empty space.
Chen Kai was taken aback when he saw her action.
He turned to look at the man in black who was moving casually.
He secretly thought to himself, "This isn't a guardian NPC, it's practically a cheat code."
Following Yu Chen's instructions, Su Wuli pulled out another piece and inserted it into the third empty slot.
Then I pulled out another piece and inserted it into the seventh empty slot...
Their movements became faster and more skillful.
The others stayed quietly to the side, watching the two perform their actions.
Everyone has this inexplicable feeling of being carried away.
Su Wuli inserted the last memorial tablet into the last empty space.
Suddenly, a series of sounds rang out, and the door slowly opened.
Light streamed in from outside the door, so bright and blinding that it was hard to open one's eyes.
Su Wuli squinted and raised her hand to shield her forehead.
It's a large light that the production team set up outside.
Wen Yan was the first to run out and circle around under the headlights.
"It's out, it's out, it's out..."
Her laughter was impossible to suppress.
The others also rushed out; having spent most of the night in darkness, they all longed for light.
The barrage of comments never stopped from the moment the door opened.
[It's open! It's open! It's open!]
[Should the show end now? Can we have an extra episode? I want to see Su Wuli and that NPC together again.]
From the moment he appeared until now, this man hasn't left her side for even half a step.
[This is not an NPC, definitely not an NPC, this is one of her people.]
By the way, can family members bring their children to this show now?
[Probably, others can be brought too. We'll bring them all next time.]
To be frank, I doubt any of them have it.
[Hahaha, I'm laughing so hard, but it's even more heartbreaking.]
Su Wuli glanced around.
He then retreated to a corner and raised his hand to cover the microphone on his collar.
Yu Chen seemed to sense that she was about to speak, and bent down slightly to match her height.
Su Wuli turned her head and brought her lips close to his ear, pointing in a direction.
"Go out from there, go through a large gate, then turn right and there's a small gate leading to the parking lot."
"Hmm," Yu Chen responded, his voice muffled through the black cloth.
Su Wuli was taken aback for a moment, then came to her senses. "Do you remember my car?"
"Um."
"Old Chen is in the car, you wait for me there."
"Okay." Yu Chen turned and left.
Su Wuli finally emerged from the corner and walked to a spot where the camera could capture her image.
Wen Yan ran over, panting, her serious expression from the secret room gone.
He held up a prop token he'd picked up from somewhere and waved it in front of her.
His gaze swept over Su Wuli's side. "Hey, where's that NPC?"
Su Wuli shook her head. "I don't know, maybe she went backstage."
"Oh," Wen Yan replied.
This answer seems quite normal, and none of the other NPCs were present.
【Huh? They just left like that? When did they leave? I didn't see them】
[No way, I thought they were going to tear off the cloth and reveal her true face.]
Yeah, I didn't even take a shower just to watch this part.
[Is this for real? The production team must have seen the discussion just now, right? They're not going to abandon the trending topic, are they?]
The comments kept flooding in.
The host walked over with the script and stood in the middle of the courtyard, flashing a professional smile at the live broadcast camera.
"Thank you for watching this episode of 'The Bloodshed at the General's Mansion.' Now it's time for the interview, so please stay tuned."
