It seems that the filthy man from Tangchi was also one of the handymen who disappeared that year, and Miss Ikuko was the culprit of the disappearance.

Qi Jiu quickly asked: "Why did she bite you? Has she always been like this?"

"she……"

At this moment, a male's muffled scream came from the thick fog outside the house.

"Here it comes again...she started again..." The poor Uesugoshi spirit body was too weak and was startled by the screams outside. Then the whole spirit body was like a TV screen with poor contact, buzzing.

After a few flashes, the power was completely cut off and disappeared.

Qi Jiu immediately put his ear to the window and listened carefully.

A rush of footsteps came from the stone stack and disappeared into the depths of the soup pool, followed by a low-pitched quarrel. Something seemed to have happened in the direction of the female soup. Qi Qiu remembered that not long ago, Miss Ikuko held a girl on her arm.

An aristocratic male boy walked towards the female soup.

Could it be that Miss Ikuko has taken action again?

But the sounds of footsteps and quarrels were quickly suppressed, and the entire Tangchi returned to deathly silence.

Qi Jiu couldn't hear any movement anymore. He didn't know if it was an illusion. He took a deep breath, and the fishy smell in the air seemed to be stronger.

But if his inference is correct, as a human being, why would Ms. Ikuko bite people and drink blood?

It seems that more cause and effect and clues can only be explored by entering Yuzhiwu.

[Congratulations on successfully completing the side mission "The Truth about the Missing Employee" and unlocking Survival Coin*200]

[Complete the side quest to unlock additional props and rewards: "Blessings from Yuzhitang's missing employees"]

Qi Gu clicked on the newly obtained props to view——

[Prop description: Auxiliary props, condensed from the regrets of missing handymen in Yuzhiyu. It can make nearby invisible ghosts appear in their true form, thus helping the user to attack more accurately]

It turns out to be an auxiliary prop.

Qi Ku thought for a moment, and he thought that the method of using the props recommended by the system was a bit wasteful, and this prop might be of greater value.

Qi Gu felt sorry for Uesugi Yue who "left without saying goodbye".

He opened the paper door and took back the trash he had left outside the door before throwing it away. Inside the trash was the portrait of Miss Ikuko that he had originally thrown away. He dug out the portrait again and planned to go to Yuzhiwu tomorrow morning.

Burn this poor Ikuko fan before reporting.

However, Qi Gu is now a little unsure. After recalling everything before his death, does Uesugi Yue still want the portrait of the murderer who bit him to death?

The rest of the night was quiet, and Qi Qiu fell asleep while lying on the tatami.

Perhaps because he had been busy in the soup pool all night, Qi Chu also found himself in the white mist-filled soup pool in his dream.

He took off his bathrobe and walked toward the milky white pool water. The temperature in the pool was just right, and the rich smell of natural sulfur filled his nose. A small oil lamp swayed in the night.

The moon rose to the middle of the sky, and its pale moonlight silently illuminated the steaming white mist.

It was very quiet, as if time had stopped flowing.

Until the thick white water surface of the soup pool stirred up small waves, and through the thick fog, Qi Qiu felt a pair of eyes staring at him from behind.

The smell of danger is approaching.

At this moment, Qi Jiu was unable to move, just like the night he was shot and killed, he was unable to turn back when he was standing at the crossroads.

But Qi Jiu was not panicked. He knew who the guy who was quietly approaching was without looking back.

The absolute silence made his senses extremely sensitive. The other person seemed to be very close, and a familiar aura enveloped him.

It is a unique fragrance that is different from the cheap powder on the street. The cold and gloomy background hides a seductive feeling that makes you want to resist but welcome.

The night fog and moonlight flowed quietly, and they remained in a stalemate in silence for half a minute.

"What do you want to tell me?" Qi Jiu finally broke the silence.

After all, the other party never comes "empty-handed" when dreaming.

"Shh."

The other party's breath lightly tickled Qi Qiu's ear, where there was a scar and a pair of marks similar to bite marks.

Qi Jiu fell silent. He even closed his eyes and waited patiently for the answer.

The other party seemed to laugh softly: "Don't close your eyes. Look, the moonlight is so beautiful tonight."

Qi Jiu raised his head following his words. On this clear winter night, the moonlight illuminated the sky pale and bright.

With his neck raised, Qi Ku's Adam's apple slid slightly, and the moonlight poured onto his face unreservedly.

His eyelashes trembled slightly, and at this moment, he felt a distant yet familiar feeling of loneliness.

It was as if he had lived here alone for hundreds of years. On countless such winter nights, he stood in the mist-filled soup pool, looking up at the distant and desolate moon.

It's too quiet. Sometimes absolute silence makes people feel noisy.

An indescribable sense of desolation grew in his blood.

Is this really his emotion?

Or who is in tune with him?

Is it the person behind you?

"Did you see that?" The person behind him came closer and made a murmur-like voice, "On a night when the moon is pale, there are always people who are sad."

Then, a cold touch wrapped around Qi Qiu's Adam's apple, "There are always people who are afraid."

Suddenly, a sharp tingling sensation penetrated Qi Ku's neck, and he frowned slightly——
