spiritualism

Wu Guyun's breathing gradually became faster and heavier. She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't catch the abnormality at that moment. At this moment, she even wanted to discuss it with Manager He.

This is really too outrageous, Wu Guyun thought. She shook her head to get rid of the idea in her mind, stood up and asked the remaining players: "I'm going to Manager He's room to ask if there are any other clues. Who of you wants to go with me?"

They lowered their heads and glanced around, but no one met Wu Guyun's gaze, and it was obvious that none of them had such an intention.

Wu Guyun could also guess what these people were thinking. After all, it would be nice to have someone charging forward. As long as there was someone who could complete the main storyline, everyone could leave the dungeon.

Wu Guyun had seen this kind of thing many times. From his initial complaints and annoyance, he had now become accustomed to it, so he didn't stay for long and turned around and left.

Not long after she left, a girl said weakly, "Isn't it a bit bad for us to do this?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she was glared at by the person next to her, "If you want to die, then just follow me. Wu Guyun has the ability to save her life, but I can't."

The girl's words were blocked and everyone fell silent. They all sat there together, waiting for Wu Guyun to come back.

But this time the girl looked even more anxious. After ten minutes, she finally couldn't sit still anymore and stood up to chase after him.

When the other people in the room saw that she actually dared to chase after her, they were silent for a moment, looked at each other, licked their lips, but still no one stood up.

In ten minutes, Wu Guyun had already walked far away, and Si Dongyun went straight to the direction of Manager He's house.

Si Dongyun jogged all the way but still didn't meet Wu Guyun on the road. When he arrived, he saw the light in Manager He's room just turned on, and there were two figures in the room.

At this point, Si Dongyun was a little afraid to go in, so he hesitated and walked around the house twice.

"Manager He, I'm sorry to bother you so late at night. I want to ask about some old things in our mansion."

"What do you want to know?"

"All right, just say whatever comes to your mind."

While Si Dongyun was hesitating, people in the room had already started chatting, so it was not easy to disturb them, so he simply squatted outside and waited.

He Lizhou thought for a while, "The Bai family used to be a royal family, but they fell into decline in the later generations. It was not until forty years ago that Mr. Bai followed a gentleman into business and started anew. I don't know much about the previous generation. Later, Miss Bai was born. The master specially invited a teacher who had studied abroad to teach. Miss liked to study fashion, so the master originally planned to send Miss abroad to study, but his health was getting worse and worse, and Mr. Bai was a good-for-nothing, so Miss had to stay and take over the family business..."

Most of this is information that players already know, so Wu Guyun asked, "Wouldn't the young master be unwilling to accept this? The family shop should have been left to him, but it was given to my sister instead."

He Lizhou looked at Wu Guyun in surprise and said, "Of course not. Madam died young, and the young master grew up with the young lady. They have a good relationship, and the family is planning to find a son-in-law for the young lady."

"Master, don't you like the young master?"

"I like it, but after the death of the Madam, the master's health has been getting worse and worse. He rarely disciplines the young master. Only the young lady in the mansion can control him."

The more Wu Guyun asked, the more confused he became. It seemed that the relationship in the mansion was pretty good, so why did this happen?

Wu Guyun wanted to ask something when she suddenly heard a scream from outside the window. The voice sounded like that of a player. She immediately stood up and was about to go out, but she couldn't help but look back at Manager He, just in time to see the surprise and worry on his face that he had not had time to retract.

Wu Guyun suppressed the doubts in his heart, pushed the door open, and saw Si Dongyun floating in the air, grabbing his neck tightly. There were bloody marks on her delicate neck, but it seemed as if something was tightly wrapped around her neck and would not leave.

Wu Guyun had never seen this kind of posture before, and he immediately drew out the knife from his waist, but he didn't know how to attack.

In her eyes, Si Dongyun was just a person with nothing around him. She could not see any ghosts hurting Si Dongyun.

He Lizhou was also surprised. He had been in this copy for a few days and had confirmed that there were no ghosts in this copy. However, the current situation and the aura he felt made it clear that there were indeed ghosts at work.

Seeing that Si Dongyun's face was turning purple, her movements were gradually becoming weaker, and she was about to suffocate to death, Wu Guyun gritted his teeth and cut her neck.

That small knife should be a prop. It did cause some damage to the ghost, but it was far from enough. Wu Guyun quickly added a few more cuts and finally forced the invisible thing away.

Without the ghost's drag, Si Dongyun fell back to the ground. Due to long-term lack of oxygen, she had passed out. He Lizhou opened the door of the wing room and said, "You can take a rest here temporarily."

Wu Guyun agreed to He Lizhou's proposal after a slight hesitation. Before Manager He left the house, the ghost was very arrogant and Wu Guyun had already felt its counterattack. However, as soon as Manager He walked out of the house, the ghost paused, and after a few slashes, it slipped away.

Wu Guyun didn't think much about it. He just thought it was the level suppression of the NPC in the copy. He felt that in this case, Si Dongyun would be safer staying with Manager He than staying with him.

After she settled Si Dongyun, she turned to He Lizhou and said, "Manager He, that thing just now appeared again. I'm worried that it will cause trouble for the young master, so I plan to go to the young master's yard to protect him."

He Lizhou naturally would not refuse, and locked his yard, "I'll go with you."

He wanted to accompany him naturally because he wanted to find out what was going on with the ghost, but Wu Guyun didn't know that. He thought He Lizhou was worried about him, so he planned to find a chance to sneak away.

But before she could find an opportunity, He Lizhou fell behind. He wanted to find out the truth about the ghost, so he naturally couldn't let Wu Guyun discover his real purpose, so he ran away first.

The first place he went to was Master Bai's courtyard. Because his identity was useful in this copy, the servant outside the courtyard did not stop him, and He Lizhou walked into Master Bai's courtyard in a swagger.

As for whether they would tell Master Bai, He Lizhou was not worried. The group of people outside Master Bai's house was replaced by a new group every day, and Master Bai would not even come out to give orders. They would just change shifts directly, and there was no chance for them to see Master Bai at all.

During the day today, the players have come in to investigate, but given the nature of the dungeon, the main clues will not be placed in a conspicuous place. There may be some mechanism in the yard.

He Lizhou walked around the yard but found nothing, so he straightened up and looked towards Mr. Bai's room.

Mr. Bai's room is very grand. As the master's room, it must have a small room with three entrances and three exits. He Lizhou sneaked directly into the deepest room of Mr. Bai, walked to the bed and took a look. Sure enough, there was no one on the bed.

He Lizhou looked around the room and found a hidden little door. He stretched his head to look for a while, but it was pitch black inside and he couldn't see anything clearly. So he reached out and touched it to confirm that it was not a hole, then bent down and crawled in.

It was a very narrow path at first, but later it became wider and He Lizhou was able to straighten his back slowly. When he reached a large open space, He Lizhou took a lighting prop, but found that there was an empty space in the middle of the soul-calling banners that filled the room.

He Lizhou crossed the flag and continued walking forward. He came to another secret passage. This time he hesitated for a while. If he went in, he would easily run into Mr. Bai.

But if you don’t go in, it would be difficult to find out where this secret passage leads to in such a huge Bai Mansion.

He Lizhou gritted his teeth. He was an NPC in this copy. To a certain extent, he could be considered a colleague of Mr. Bai. There shouldn't be any big problems. After thinking it through, He Lizhou bent down again and entered the secret passage.

This secret passage was very long, much longer than the previous one. He Lizhou estimated the distance and found that it had probably reached outside Mr. Bai's yard.

He Lizhou's perception was pretty good. Despite the dark environment and the underground passage, he could still sense that the passage was slowly turning, and soon after, it turned back into a straight line.

As soon as he turned the corner, He Lizhou saw the light at the end of the secret passage. After walking for about four or five minutes, he finally reached the exit with light.

He Lizhou did not meet Mr. Bai along the way, so he squatted at the exit and listened to the sounds outside. There was a low and hoarse male voice outside. It was indeed Mr. Bai's voice, but He Lizhou could not understand what he said. It sounded like some obscure ancient Chinese.

He Lizhou popped his head out and looked around quietly. Just when he realized that this was the courtyard where Bai Qiuliang used to live, he ran into Mr. Bai walking towards him. He immediately retracted his head and when he heard the footsteps fade away, he poked his head out again. As a result, before he saw Mr. Bai, he made eye contact with Wu Guyun who was right opposite him.

Wu Guyun had been captured by Master Bai, tied up with ropes, with his hands behind his back and a rag stuffed in his mouth. He was thrown into a corner, unable to move.

When she saw He Lizhou, she was obviously a little surprised, but then she noticed Mr. Bai's actions, lowered her eyes and did not move, as if she was unaware that there was an extra person.

Even Wu Guyun couldn't run away. He Lizhou was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Mr. Bai had some skills.

While Mr. Bai was being cursed, He Lizhou jumped out of the cave and hid in the bushes, ready to see what Mr. Bai was doing.

The location He Lizhou chose was not bad. He could just see Mr. Bai's actions. He was holding a spirit-calling banner in his hand, walking around the yard in circles, chanting spells. In the center of the yard was a spirit tablet.

He Lizhou squinted his eyes and tried to see clearly whose name was written on the spirit tablet, but the light was dim at night and the distance was far, so squinting and staring were of no use.

Just as I was considering whether to move closer, Mr. Bai suddenly stopped chanting the spell and instead shouted out a name.

"Liang Xiu!"

He Lizhou instantly understood what Mr. Bai was doing, summoning spirits!

And the soul he summoned was exactly the player he killed during the day!

He Lizhou was suddenly horrified. Could it be that the haunting in this copy was actually designed by Mr. Bai, and the real haunting would only begin after the players entered the copy and died?

But what's the point of Mr. Bai doing this? He Lizhou saw the spells on the banner clearly. He didn't know many of them, but he knew a few basic spell shapes. This banner was simply used to summon souls and had no control function.
