Zhao Ruru’s solo experience was not complicated. After she finished speaking, Zhao Yijiu also briefly recounted his actions until the two of them met.
Yu Xing summarized it after listening to it. It’s roughly like this.
Zhao Ruru followed the man in white and walked out of the woodshed. Using her fortune-telling ability, she found a safer route amidst the cries. She checked the houses on this route and found that although the ghost house was large,
Many places are incomplete and have a strong sense of dissonance.
Many empty houses, as if they were only half-built, are gray in color, even the furniture is missing, and the large tracts of open space seem to be signaling some kind of secret.
After that, while calculating the location, she walked to a servant's room that was relatively well-furnished, and found a clue pointing to the dry well in the courtyard. After she went there, she saw a faint ghost shadow haunting the dry well, and she didn't dare
Alone, I wanted to find Zhao Yijiao first.
Zhao Yijiu first appeared in a large, ornately decorated room. He was woken up by heart-rending crying. When he woke up, he found himself lying on the bed wearing a long gown, with the bed curtains drawn.
From the white translucent fabric, he could vaguely see two people in white clothes standing beside the bed with their backs to him, their bodies stooped and their faces invisible.
The howl comes from these two things, and the effect is comparable to a super-powerful alarm clock.
In fact, the white-clothed man in the ghost house and the deducer wear exactly the same clothes, but because of the different breaths, they feel completely different.
Zhao Yijiu could tell at a glance that these two things were not human beings, and he didn't seem to notice that he was lying on the bed.
Not knowing what would happen if he was discovered, he quietly opened the curtain, being very careful not to expose his shadow in front of the man in white, and used the peanuts, dates and other things he found on the bed to hit the vase, causing a stir and attracting people.
Without the attention of the man in white, he quietly slipped out through the crack in the door on the other side.
He didn’t have Zhao Ruru’s useful fortune-telling ability, but fortunately he was pretty good at it. He wandered around for a while and almost ran into several groups of ghosts whose faces were covered with white scarves, but he managed to avoid them all.
During this period, just like Yu Xing was approached by the portrait shop, Zhao Yijiao was also targeted by the butler's room. When passing by the butler's room, he saw a flash of a hanging figure. After entering, the butler's wardrobe suddenly opened
, a pair of soft, obviously unreasonable-length hands stretched out from the middle of the clothes hanging inside.
The blood-red nail polish on his fingers was probably the only thing with a bright color in the whole room. His arms, filled with malice and resentment, kept stretching... stretching... until he was about to grab Zhao Yijius leg, and then stopped suddenly.
Because Zhao Yijiu took out the killing blow and stabbed it mercilessly.
The hands that clearly belonged to a woman, or a female ghost, twitched, as if they knew Zhao Yijiao was not to be trifled with, and pointed a trembling index finger at the butler's desk, then quickly retracted it.
Zhao Yijiu followed the direction of his finger and found a list on the table. It seemed to be a memo written by the butler himself. It had a lot of names written on it in neat handwriting, and finally added a small note: "Master
You don’t have to be too considerate to these people. They are all people with average connections with the young mistress. It’s enough to show the momentum of our family.”
At this time, Zhao Ruru found him, and the two went to the dry well together and met the Abacus Ghost.
The face of the Abacus Ghost belongs to the type of bitterness, great hatred, and deep hatred. His translucent body crawled out of the well, his eyebrows were drooped, and he looked tired. Dirty water was dripping from his body, forming a pool of unpleasant-smelling water stains underneath him.
.
It did not embarrass the two of them too much. After asking some simple questions, it revealed the most important news so far to the two who were a little unable to hold on.
This house is called the Yin House, and together with the ghost alley outside, it is a product of the distortion of time and space and lingering resentment.
To put it simply, a certain ghost has too much resentment and combines with a certain carrier to create a supernatural space with that ghost's obsession as the main body.
It is not something that should be done for living people to be brought in. What they bring in is only their souls, and their bodies are still somewhere in the outside world. Therefore, if you have not found a way out for two or three days, even if you are not killed by the ghosts here, the ghosts outside will
The body will also become depleted due to lack of food and water.
The Abacus Ghost told them that there is a door to the outside world hidden in this space. As long as they can successfully enter the door, the living people can leave.
Zhao Ruru roughly recounted the words of the Abacus Ghost to Yu Xing, and sighed in distress: "Basically, it is certain that the mission goal of this stage is to find the door, escape, go to the 'outside world' in the next stage, and retrieve our bodies
.”
She curled her lips and appropriately showed her dissatisfaction with herself: "But looking for a door in such a big place is simply...even if we want to search all over the place, we can't do it. Did you hear this cry? In the ghost house
There are countless people in white clothes, distributed in many rooms, and we dare not enter those rooms rashly."
Zhao Yijiu pondered for a moment and tried to put forward his own point of view: "We encountered seven rooms with white clothes alone. We should have missed a clue."
He felt that there must be clues pointing to the specific location of the "door" in this haunted house that had not been found.
Zhao Ruru agreed, and said to Yu Xing, who seemed to be thinking about something: "Besides, I calculated before you came that if Zhao Yijiu and I continue to spend time looking for the door in the Yin Mansion, it will be a serious disaster and we will definitely be seriously injured.
I guess there must be bosses at this stage hiding in the dark in the Nether Mansion."
"Then what happens after I come?" The stone bench touched his buttocks, and Yu Xing changed to a comfortable sitting position, still looking a little careless, "Although I don't understand hexagrams, but according to you, I should be a variable, right? Now that I'm here,
Do you want to count again?"
"Um... I have to wait a while to figure it out, skill D." The girl was helpless. Her bun hairstyle was a bit loose, so she simply tied it up again.
Her divination can only calculate things that are very close in time, and cannot calculate things that are too broad, so in each deduction, her number of divination is still very abundant.
But every time fortune-telling consumes a certain amount of energy, Zhao Ruru herself knows very well where her limits are. Just now, she was too exhausted from finding a way, finding people, and calculating good or bad luck, and she needed to take some time off.
"Well, let's first analyze the information exposed in your experience." Yu Xing put away his questioning gaze. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Zhao Yijiu and Zhao Ruru's eyes moving to his face.
He was slightly startled, and part of his attention was still on processing the new information. His first reaction was that there was a ghost behind him: "What, is there something ghost behind me?"
I didn’t sense the aura of ghosts either? Could it be that because it’s a special supernatural space, ghosts don’t count as real ghosts?
Zhao Ruru saw that he had misunderstood and coughed twice: "No, we are waiting for your analysis."
Yu Xing: “?”
Then he realized that Zhao Ruru looked at him like a puppy waiting to be fed at meal time.
Zhao Yijiu is like a cat that silently urges but is more restrained.
“Although I have a general idea, I really don’t want to embarrass you here. If you heard anything, just point it out to the little girl.” Zhao Ruru put his hands on the stone table and pretended to bow to Yu Xing.
Yu Xing’s mood suddenly became complicated.
Because of the scene in front of him, he instantly thought that he was dead, and the younger generation was kowtow to him...
He was so excited by his imagination that he simply stopped looking at Zhao Ruru.
"Okay, let me analyze it, but I still need to sort out my thoughts, so how about this?" Yu Xing turned to look at Zhao Yijiu, "Brother Jiu, can you remember the route you took?"
"able."
“What about the layout of the rooms next to the route?”
“Okay.” Zhao Yijiu was very decisive.
Yu Xing felt relieved and said to Zhao Ruru, "Please collect some ashes. Wall powder will do. It's best to bring a rag."
"Ah? Oh, yes, what are you going to do?" Zhao Ruru was a little surprised. Her abilities were all related to fortune telling. She thought Yu Xing was going to draw a fortune telling.
"Get some dust and let Brother Jiu draw a floor plan of the shady house." Yu Xing wiped the surface of the stone table with the pads of his fingers again, "So I have to wipe it clean first."
She took the order and ran directly to the corner of the wall to collect it in the wall skin that had fallen off and dried into a pile of powder.
After a while, she realized that Yu Xing and Zhao Yijiu had not followed her and thought: "Wait a minute, so I was asked to do it alone? Two men and one woman, but the girl was left to pick up the ashes??"
