I kill the gods in the infinite script

Chapter 10 The Secret of the Basement
The candle seemed to have been replaced not long ago and was only half burned.If it can be replaced, it can definitely be removed.

Shu Li took off the candle and walked towards the room.

The candlelight illuminated a limited range, but it was enough for them to see the room clearly.

There was a stone bed, a wooden barrel about one meter in diameter, and a wooden shelf filled with dry grass.

That's all there is to this room.

"When I woke up, I was lying on that bed." Shu Luo raised his finger and pointed over: "There was still a thin hemp rope tied to my body, but it came apart as soon as I broke it."

There was nothing on the stone bed. Shu Li walked over with doubts and raised his hand to touch it a few times.

The touch feels the same as the outside wall. Even the walls of this basement are made of this stone.

Such a large gesture, coupled with the presence of piles of herbal medicine, seems like some kind of secret technique is being performed.

The beneficiary side is self-evident. Shu Li looked at Shu Luo who was rummaging in front of the herb pile, and a guess came to his mind.

"Don't you think there's a strong smell in the basement? Isn't it pungent?" Shu Li decided to test her guess.

Hearing this, Shu Luo sniffed, turned back blankly and said, "No."

Shu Li recalled everything she said after meeting her, and was sure that she didn't hear any valid identity information about her.

"Look at the walls of this room. Is there anything strange?"

Although Shu Luo was puzzled, he still reached out and touched it: "It's nothing strange. I've looked over this place several times since I woke up."

"No feeling?" Shu Li had almost confirmed his guess, looking at her sympathetically.

"What can you feel? Isn't it just hard?" Shu Luo suddenly paused mid-sentence.

"what happened?"

"There is something." Shu Luo then fumbled for a while: "It's a line of characters."

Shu Li turned around and came closer, handing the candle to her.

It is said to be one line, but it is actually eight words: medicine is used for the spirit, and stone is used for the body.

Seeing this line of fine print, Shu Li somewhat confirmed his guess.

"Literally speaking, you are the body or soul, or both, that the patriarch is trying to raise."

Shu Luo's age is actually in line with the age of the diary owner.

The carefully arranged wedding hall failed like this, the love between the two poor people supporting each other in the diary, the legend of Poseidon that emerged out of thin air...

Coupled with what the patriarch said last night, Shu Li gradually put together a story.

Perhaps at the wedding banquet that year, the poor newlyweds thought that the elders from the same village were here to congratulate them, but they did not expect that someone had a dirty and malicious intention to make a marriage quarrel and forced the bride to death.

The diary only wrote about the time before the wedding, and there was no mention of Poseidon before, indicating that she had died before the plague.

The patriarch who was the groom at that time was determined to avenge the bride, planned the Poseidon incident, and vented his anger on the daughter of the person who did it that day.

He also learned from his mouth that the goddess's father had tried to stop it, so the goddess's family was spared from being selected.

Shu Li shared this guess, but suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Since they are the Poseidon and the so-called Poseidon's messenger who existed 50 years ago, then the age of the clan leader doesn't match up at all, right?"

Shu Luo pointed out the problem and added: "Even if the patriarch is the groom, he should be at least 60 years old. We have all seen the one outside, forty or fifty at most."

Shu Li pinched her eyebrows and suddenly felt her eyes going dark.

It's not because of the complexity of the clues, but because of the lack of oxygen.

Shu Luo on the side also felt the same, so they had to return to the ground first.

After taking a few deep breaths of fresh air, Shu Li temporarily gave up the idea of ​​continuing.

"I hit the bump on the back of his head. I'm not sure if it was the cause of death." When she returned to the yard, Shuli said what she had said before.

"?"

Shu Li suddenly pulled the corner of her mouth and smiled.

Shu Luo: "?"

Is this sister going crazy due to lack of oxygen?
Just as she was about to ask, Shu Li said, "I just said the last thing, and also the actual act of taking action."

"Yes, what's the matter?"

Shu Li didn't answer her, but suddenly started rummaging around the patriarch's house.

"What are you looking for?" Shu Luo was confused.

Shu Li smiled: "Looking for the murder weapon."

"Although I'm not sure whether the poison was caused by you or the clan leader's apprentice, the wound on the face was definitely caused by Ah Jiu's brother."

"But even if we find the murder weapon, we can't be sure that it was the cause of death, right?"

Shu Li: "Look at your panel."

Shu Luo was even more confused. She did not continue to follow Shu Li's footsteps, but stopped where she was and opened her own panel.

Next to the main task on the board, a line of small gray words appeared at some point: Cause of Death Analysis.

It’s really small print, about the size of a sesame seed.

The background color of the panel that pops up in front of you is only slightly darker than the color of the four words. It is very easy to ignore it unless you look at it specifically.

The condition for unlocking is to find all the murder weapons and the motive for the murder.

The first thing Shu Li went to was the room where photos were developed. Although there was a panel announcement saying that all the key evidence had been automatically hidden, he should not leave this room.

Within a few minutes, Shu Li found the stone staff stuck underneath the work table.

There was no blood on it, but there was a photo of the goddess' younger siblings on the side.

There is a line of words written on the back: A congratulatory gift to the "God of the Sea".

The murder weapon and motive were all there, Shu Li carried these two things and walked out.

When she came out of the house, she threw the things in her hands aside and turned around and entered the main house.

The seemingly crowded space actually doesn't have many clues, and there are many non-clue items that cannot even be moved.

After Shu Luo came in, the two of them searched together for about half an hour. Except for a small locked box, there were no other important clues in the huge main room.

Then Shuli walked behind the door and looked at the candle that was still burning.

This is the candle Shu Li saw when she came here for the first time.

Unlike the one in the basement, this candle never seemed to get shorter or thinner, and the top flame didn't dance.

Shu Li tried to break it twice, but the candle didn't even shake.

Moreover, the candle itself is not as soft as ordinary candles, and the flame at the top has no warmth at all.

But it couldn't be won for the time being, so Shu Li simply gave up.

After the two searched this place, they went to the home of the patriarch's disciple Ahai.

The courtyard door of Ahai's home was wide open, and the draft blew up the talisman paper on the table in the courtyard, and it fell to the ground like yellow leaves all over the sky.

"False faith, true believer." Shu Luo complained before entering.
