When Yu Wan heard the news, his first reaction was probably confusion.
Yu Xing waited for more than five seconds before he felt the trembling of the person opposite him through the receiver.
"What, what did you say?" The girl couldn't control her voice and almost broke her voice, "Ye Qin, say it again!?"
"I said, my brother is dead." Yu Xing spoke firmly this time. Ye Ting was still listening. He glanced, took a deep breath, and seemed to have calmed down, then put away his vulnerability: "Maybe it's because of that incident.
, my brother turned into a ghost last night and almost hurt my sister."
"We crowded into a room and hid all night, and we didn't dare to come out until dawn."
Ye Ting was a little strange: "What was that thing?"
"Ye Qin, wait for me. I'll come to your house on leave!" Yu Wan was also anxious on the other end of the phone. Compared with such a big thing, you can take a break from school. It's just a day away. It won't have any impact.
.
This was Yu Xing's original plan. He just wanted Yu Wan to come over earlier, because he felt that if today was really the last day of this deduction, according to the system's calculations, it would be impossible for the deduction to stay there safely.
night.
Anyone who believes that ghosts cannot appear during the day is an idiot.
The first day he saw the reflection on the car glass in broad daylight, and the first time he found his father's head in the refrigerator, it wasn't night either.
The most important clues are often given at the very beginning.
"I told my mother to go to school as normal today so as not to worry her. When it's time to go to school, I will go to your house." On the other end, Yu Man lowered her voice. She was extremely glad that the decision to send her mother away just now was the right one.
Yu Xing had some negative emotions. In this situation, he did not forget to remind Yu Wan again: "Okay, don't miss the things you need to bring. Be careful. All your help must be based on your own safety."
Next, you know, I don’t want to involve you.”
Yu Wan took a deep breath: "I will pay attention."
After hanging up the phone, Yu Xing looked at Ye Ting, who was a little confused, and explained to Ye Ting that he and Yu Wan had long noticed that something was wrong with Ye Ming.
Ye Ting was shocked: "But on the day you mentioned, my brother had not touched the game console, how could he...?"
She immediately realized something and asked uncertainly: "Could it be that the ghost possessing my brother caused his death, and it wasn't the game console's fault?"
That's not the case, it's really the game console's fault.
Yu Xing answered in his mind and shook his head calmly: "I don't know, things have turned to the worst. I'm just waiting for your sister Yu Wan to come over today. She understands this better."
"Well, Sister Yu Wan is very powerful. All my knowledge in this area is from Sister Yu Wan." Ye Ting looked depressed. For a moment, she seemed to be because she was not as helpful as Yu Wan.
feel sad.
"Let's not talk about it anymore. I will ask for leave from the school first, and then we will go out to buy food together. We can't go hungry." Yu Xing was hungry anyway, so he quickly called his class teacher to ask for leave, and then called
Fortunately, they both had very good grades in school and were well-behaved. The teacher trusted them very much and readily approved.
Ye Ting took this opportunity to change into clothes suitable for going out, then took her own basket and stood aside waiting for Yu Xing to finish everything.
When they stood outside the door, the sky was already bright and the sun was rising slowly from the east. Ye Ting stared blankly at the sun, blinked and murmured: "It's so bright..."
At this time, Yu Wan also hurriedly came from the direction of her home carrying her big schoolbag.
Ye Ting suddenly said: "Brother, you and sister Yu Wan can find a solution at home. I can go shopping alone."
Yu Xing looked at her thoughtfully: "Aren't you afraid?"
"The light outside is so bright, I'm not afraid. In comparison, this house is scarier." Ye Ting, whether intentionally or unintentionally, said what may be what all the ghosts trapped here want to say the most,
She looked serious, as if she had suddenly changed her mind and didn't intend to let Yu Xing accompany her.
Just in time, Yu Xing also came to Jinqian. She seemed to have run all the way. She was panting and hurriedly checked Yu Xing in circles, and then checked Yu Xing in the same way. Then she breathed a sigh of relief.
: "Fortunately, you're okay."
"Sister Yu Wan..." Ye Ting almost cried when her sister showed such concern, but she held back her tears and told Yu Xing, "Hurry up and discuss countermeasures with Sister Yu Wan. If you are also killed,
What should I do! I’m going to buy groceries alone!”
Seeing Ye Ting's sudden persistence, Yu Xing nodded and let her go. Although he knew that something would happen to the little girl and she would come back or not come back, but the plot must do this. He
There is no way to forcibly block it.
And Ye Ting was at least right. He really needed to take the time to discuss countermeasures with Yu Xi, and he also needed to explain to Yu Xi what had happened in the past few days, so that he could make good use of Yu Xi as a potential teammate.
Soon, Ye Ting's figure became farther and farther along the road. From a distance, her body became smaller, which was very real in the morning light.
Yu Wan followed Ye Qin into the house with a pale face.
Although there was no trace of Ye Ming in the house, the blood that could be seen everywhere still shocked Yu Wan. Yu Wan looked around in shock and asked in disbelief: "What on earth did you go through yesterday?"
"I've experienced a terrible thing, Yu Wan, I'm so tired." Yu Xing looked at her tiredly, and then briefly told Yu Wan what happened recently in as orderly a manner as possible.
In Yu Wang's opinion, the tired look on Yu Xing's face was due to the fact that her brother died and her sister was still ill. The long-term pressure overwhelmed the underage boy in front of her, and she felt extremely distressed.
"I brought prepared ghost exorcism tools. After the ghost comes out, I can confirm the identity of the ghost that disturbed your home in the first place." She took out a lot of things that Yu Yuxing had never seen before from her bag.
These little things, judging from their appearance, are nothing like those ghost-exorcist instruments... Forget it, maybe this is the impact of the deduction subject's lack of imagination.
He stretched out his head and asked clearly about the functions of these small props in a very "study-like" manner.
Yu Wei is indeed a paranormal enthusiast, and he has all kinds of fancy things, and the ones displayed on the coffee table include charms for suppressing ghosts, and ones for sensing ghosts, which are a bit like the two silver chopsticks of the dragon-seeking ruler.
.
Other than that, he couldn't even recognize it. There was something small that could spin like a top, a seal, and the largest item in the bag, which was a small basket made of bamboo.
Yu Mangyan introduced this series of things in a concise manner. Each one sounded extremely important and useful, but
"..." Yu Xing had no hope in the functions of these things. If these things could really come in handy, the tragedy that would follow would be a bit ridiculous.
"By the way, where is that game console? I want to take a look." It didn't take long for Yu Wan to direct the topic to the game console. Yu Xing gave Yu Wan a wary look, but did not let Yu Wan notice this look.
"The game console is upstairs, but I don't think you want to see the scene upstairs." Yu Xing pursed her lips and shook her head slightly, "We'd better wait for Ye Ting to come back and eat first, otherwise we'll see you upstairs
I probably won’t have the appetite to eat anymore.”
When Ye Ting went to buy groceries and then came back, the round trip obviously took a long time. Yu Wan was so familiar with their family that he already knew their habits. He took out two sandwiches from the bag: "I've already eaten them.
One for you and one for Xiaoting. Let’s cook the dishes she bought for lunch.”
Oh, is there such a good thing?
Fortunately, Yu took a casual look at the sandwich. It seemed to be a handmade sandwich. There was no brand logo printed on the outer packaging. Instead, it was wrapped in a simple layer of paper.
So he asked: "Auntie did it?"
"Yeah, it's been a long time since I've eaten something made by my mother, right?" Yu Wan forced a smile. Although Ye Ming was the eldest brother she had known since childhood, she had already established a long-lasting relationship with such a result for several weeks.
She had a defensive line in her heart, so after receiving the call from Yu Xing, she was quite happy. Fortunately, Ye Qin did not die in the entanglement of those ghosts like Ye Ming.
As long as she has time to save Ye Qin, nothing will matter. At this time, it is the best choice to relieve Ye Qin's stress and eat some breakfast made by her mother.
Because Ye Qin once said that she likes to eat food made by her mother the most.
"Thank you, Auntie, for me." Yu Xing sat on the sofa and used his eating movements to check the fillings inside the sandwich.
Just looking at it, he didn't see anything wrong, so Yu Xing took a tentative bite.
"You are such a mouthful, are you afraid that I will poison you or something?" Yu Wan saw his look and deliberately eased the heavy atmosphere.
She thought she knew Ye Qin. He was very strong. The death of his eldest brother must have been a huge blow to him. But because of this, Ye Qin should be able to cheer up and find a solution. He could not be depressed because of this. After realizing
After understanding the importance of conserving physical strength, Ye Qin will definitely not stop eating.
Yu Xing didn't find out why. The filling inside the sandwich didn't taste like human flesh, and it didn't have any weird smell of blood or minced meat. Whether it was evaluated by sight, smell or taste, this was a normal sandwich.
Therefore, Yu Xing decided not to pay attention to it and looked at it as a real sandwich.
He happened to be hungry, so he finished his breakfast in a few bites, and then explained: "I'm just in a bad mood... It's okay, you don't have to worry about me."
"Well." Yu Wan glanced at him distressedly and sighed, "Let's go upstairs and have a look first. We can judge from the traces what type of ghost Brother Ye Ming has turned into, whether it is an earth-bound spirit or a wandering spirit.
The two types of ghosts are relatively safe, but I am afraid that they will become ghosts and ghosts. These two kinds of ghosts can do great harm to living people."
She spoke eloquently, so Yu Xing walked in front and asked her to follow him to the second floor.
Maybe it was a coincidence, or maybe it was fate, but as soon as they walked up to the second floor, they saw the sky darkening quickly through the glass.
Dark clouds gathered in the distance, bringing a dark and oppressive feeling, and then, a loud sound that could shock the eardrums reached their ears in a short period of time.
That was the sound of heavy rain hitting the basin.
"It's raining heavily..." Yu Wan looked solemn, "Without the sunshine, I always feel a vague foreboding in my heart."
After the dark clouds formed, it was like they had eyes, and they quickly moved in from a distance with heavy rainstorms. It would probably take less than a minute or two for their house to be included in the rain.
Yu Xing's face changed and he said anxiously: "Oh no, what should I do with Xiaoting!"
"Don't worry, I saw her carrying an umbrella. There is a folding umbrella in her basket all year round. Well, it's a rare kind of umbrella that can be folded into the length of the forearm. It seems quite expensive.
." Yu Wan consoled him.
She didn't say anything, but Yu Xing had never noticed that there was an umbrella in the basket where his sister was selling vegetables. In this era, folding umbrellas should be a rare thing.
"My mother said that she often sees Xiaoting in the market, sometimes even when it rains. Xiaoting's umbrella is very beautiful and thick. You don't have to worry about her getting wet. Besides, it rains too much and she can't walk.
She can also take more shelter from the rain under the eaves. She is not a child anymore and doesn't know anything." Yu Wan reassured Yu Xing again and diverted Yu Xing's attention away from Ye Ting, "Okay, I have to tell you.
A bad news."
"What bad news?" Yu Xing asked immediately.
"We are the ones who can't protect ourselves now. Ghosts are afraid of light. They don't come out during the day because the light is too strong. At night, it's not only dark but also full of gloom, so they choose to appear at night."
"But it's not absolute. On a rainy day like this..." Yu Wan looked at the sky outside that had darkened so quickly, and then at the mess on the second floor. It was full of blood, and it was scary to look at it.
"You want to say that the law that ghosts don't come out on rainy days is useless, and we may encounter my brother's ghost in advance, right?" Yu Xing clenched his fists, perfectly expressing anxiety and confusion.
Yu Wan nodded, a little seriously: "That's right, didn't you think of it? From now on, even if you stay with me, you must be extremely careful."
No, I thought of it, I completely thought of it. Yu Xing complained in his heart. He knew that the system would not let them live so easily during the day. At the current progress, it was time to judge which of the gamers could continue despite fatigue and superficial relaxation.
We fought, didn't we?
Yu Xing not only guessed what the system would do in advance, but also helped the system think of the reason for doing so.
Wow…
The sound of rain came from far to near, becoming more obvious as it got closer. Next, large raindrops hit the window, making a huge and dense cracking sound.
The house was completely surrounded by rain.
Yu Xing was silent for a while, then pulled Yu Wan's sleeve, who was still calm, and whispered: "Since it's so dangerous, let's seize the time and go take a look at the game console first."
Mentioning this, Yu Wan seemed to be inexplicably more energetic: "Okay."
They walked towards the room. As soon as they got nearby, Yu Xing noticed something was wrong and pulled Yu Wan to the back.
Opposite his room, Ye Ming's door was closed tightly, and blood was still gathering on the ground that was already covered in blood.
He clearly remembered that the door was open in the morning.
