~8 min read 1,463 words

On the wall of the living room, a group photo hangs.

A beautiful young woman with a cold and arrogant face sat in the middle, and beside her stood the timid girl Alessa.

Looking at the age in the photo, Alessa was only five years old at the time.

But the fear in her eyes could no longer be hidden.

"Is this beautiful young woman Alessa's mother?" Zhang Xingqi frowned and said, "She doesn't look close to her at all! Now I really believe that Alessa has been abused since she was a child."

Chu Xun said: "This is the place where Alessa has been, and it is closely related to Alessa. Therefore, the second fulcrum of the pentagram must be in a certain room in this house."

Zhang Xingqi suddenly realized, "Oh! I understand. The so-called fulcrum of the five-pointed star is established based on Alessa's life trajectory! Chu Xun, you are so smart... Ahem, I won't praise you!"

Chu Xun had no time to joke with Zhang Xingqi, "Let's look for it separately. We'll look for the kitchen, bathroom, and children's room, and you can look for the study, attic, and master bedroom."

"good!"

The two immediately took action separately.

Chu Xun first went to the bathroom and searched around, but found nothing unusual.

Then, I went to the kitchen to look around, but found nothing unusual.

Finally, Chu Xun came to the children's room.

As soon as he opened the door to the children's room, Chu Xun suddenly took a breath of cold air.

childrenThe room was decorated very gloomily.

The burning ashes on the wall were covered with all kinds of strange magic symbols.

However, these magic symbols are scattered, and the handwriting is very old. They are definitely not the seventh coat of arms of Velen.

Chu Xun searched and found that there was not a single toy in the entire children's room.

There were four lengths of rope tied to the four corners of the bed, and a blood-stained whip was placed on the floor next to it.

One can imagine how miserable Alessa's childhood was.

Chu Xun groped around on the bed and found something bulging under the pillow, which seemed to be hiding something.

Chu Xun opened it and saw that it was a dilapidated fairy tale book.

The title of the book is: "The Wizard of Oz."

An eight or nine-year-old child doesn't even have a single toy. He even has to hide and read fairy tale books like "The Wizard of Oz"...

Chu Xun couldn't help but feel a little sad.

These are details that are not found in the movie.

But it is these details that make Alessa's image more three-dimensional and real.

It can be seen from this that this reincarnation world has indeed been improved.

Was it modified by the system?

Or is it the powerful Infernal One?

What is the purpose of their modification like this?

"Chu Xun!"

Zhang Xingqi's exclamation came from outside.

Chu Xun's heart tightened, and he quickly dropped the fairy tale book, clutched the Tang Dao tightly, and rushed out.

"Chu Xun, come quickly!" Zhang Xingqi greeted eagerly: "There are three locks on the door of the master bedroom!"

Chu Xun ran in and took a look. Sure enough, there were three big locks on the door of Alessa's mother's master bedroom.

Zhang Xingqi said: "I tried it with the epee just now, and it bounced back to me like a coat of arms! The fulcrum of the five-pointed star should be in this room!"

Chu Xun nodded, "It should be right."

Zhang Xingqi said eagerly: "But, how are we going to get in? Should we smash the door directly? Or make a hole in the wall?"

Chu Xun said: "No, the entire room should be sealed by the seventh coat of arms of Velen. Not only can't it be opened with brute force, but it will also be repulsed."

Zhang Xingqi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, "What should we do?"

Chu Xun said calmly: "Since there are three keys here, it means that there should be three corresponding keys hidden around this house."

Zhang Xingqi said impatiently: "I've thought of this too, but the area is so big and we don't have any clues. Where can we find the key? I'm afraid the mission is over before we find the key!"

Chu Xun thought for a moment, "It's not like there's no clue - I found a book in Alessa's room."

"what book?"

"The Wizard of Oz."

"What book is that?"

"Fairy tale book - haven't you read it?" Chu Xun asked in surprise.

Zhang Xingqi asked even more surprised: "Should I have seen it?"

Chu Xun smiled helplessly: "Even if you haven't read the book, you should have heard of this fairy tale, right?"

Zhang Xingqi shook her head, "I haven't heard of it."

"How was your childhood?"

"Wear the most expensive skirts, eat the most expensive food, hire the best martial arts teachers, and work hard to pass through the main god space smoothly since childhood." Zhang Xingqi asked seriously: "Isn't that the case for you?"

Chu Xun smiled bitterly and said: "Well, my eldest lady, in comparison, my childhood was much more miserable than yours... ahem. When I was a child, I didn't have such good conditions as you. I could only watch all kinds of things. Book."

Zhang Xingqi asked: "What clues are there in the Wizard of Oz?"

Chu Xun said: "The story of the Wizard of Oz is like this. The little girl Dorothy and his dog Toto were taken to a fantasy country by a strange wind. At the beginning, they smashed the evil witch who enslaved Oz with a house and became The new Queen of Oz, Dorothy met the Scarecrow who lacked a brain, the Tin Woodman who lacked a heart, and the Lion who lacked courage in order to find a way home. Together, the four of them embarked on a journey to the West to learn... Hey, way home."

Nearly got involved.

It's not good to be knowledgeable, because knowledge is overflowing.

Zhang Xingqi stared at the watery Kazilan's big eyes, looking at Chu Xun with surprise, "Oh my god! This story is so novel! Chu Xun, you are so amazing, you can tell such a nice story -"

Zhang Xingqi suddenly thought that she once said that she would never praise Chu Xun.

But I couldn't control it just now, so I still praised it.

Chu Xun smiled faintly and said, "Take my last name from now on."

Zhang Xingqi blushed, "Who has your last name? Let's find the key quickly! What does the... nonsense story you just told have to do with finding the key?"

Chu Xun said: "On her way home, Dorothy has to help the Scarecrow find wisdom, the Tin Woodman find emotion, and the Lion find courage - this is the biggest metaphor of this fairy tale. The way home is about need Wisdom, emotion, and courage. Therefore, these three locks also represent wisdom, emotion, and courage. As long as we find the Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Lion, we can find the key."

Zhang Xingqi's face was full of astonishment, "Wait a minute, in the world of Silent Hill, there will be scarecrows, tin men, and lions?"

Chu Xun smiled faintly, "There is definitely no such thing in the real world of Silent Hill, and there is definitely no such thing in the surface world, but there should be some in the inner world created by Alessa, and it should be in Gray Near Spie House."

Zhang Xingqi said quickly: "I'll look for the front yard, you look for the back yard."hospital. "

"good!"

The two of them split up again.

At this time, there are only 45 minutes left before the end of mission No. 1.

Chu Xun searched the backyard and found no clues about the scarecrow, tin man, or lion.

He couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with his judgment.

While he was thinking, his eyes fell on a puddle of mud in the backyard.

Everything in the entire world was burning with ashes, even the ground beneath their feet.

But that puddle of mud didn't look like the ashes of hell at all!

The key should be hidden in here!

Chu Xun didn't think much and immediately started groping in the mud.

His finger touched a hard iron bump!

Chu Xun grabbed Tie Liaoda.

Sure enough!

It's just a palm-sized Tin Man doll!

Chu Xun squeezed hard, crushed the Tin Woodman into pieces, and took out a shining golden key!

On the key, there is a word engraved in childish handwriting: emotion.

Two more to go!
