Chapter 54
The rain continued all night, and the drops of water made a crisp sound when falling on the leaves. Spring had just arrived, so there were not many insects and their calls were very sparse.
But at this moment, another rhythmic ticking sound was heard outside the house.
Yitu recognized it as soon as it sounded.
The regular, dull sound of water drops falling on dry ground.
Damn it, it's coming again. Yitu groaned in pain, what he feared would come true.
For some reason, Du Jinyu just liked to stare at him and attack him. Yi Tu held his breath and dared not look at the swaying figure outside the window.
The woman in the red wedding dress stood outside the door, staring at him quietly, and showed no intention of leaving for a long time.
Yitu could only bet that she didn't dare to come in, because he was not the only one in the room.
He waited for a while, and the sound of dripping water finally disappeared. Yitu breathed a sigh of relief.
However, when he opened his eyes again, a pale woman's face suddenly appeared in front of him, almost face to face.
Yitu's heart trembled violently, and he was about to turn over, but his body was unable to move at all.
Sleep paralysis?!
Du Jinyu smiled at him, and a cold breath came to his face.
Yi Tu was horrified, but at this moment, except for his eyeballs, he was pressed down tightly by Du Jinyu.
The man and the ghost stared at each other in a stalemate for a moment. Yitu had no idea what this thing was trying to do.
Until he was completely embraced by Du Jinyu, the breath that was cold to the bone completely enveloped him, and his soul was trembling with cold.
Du Jinyu attached himself to his body, and Yi Tu saw his uncontrollable body move very lightly to get off the bed.
This process did not disturb the man beside him at all. Jiang Hanyu slept surprisingly soundly.
Yitu couldn't wake him up, so this time he could only save himself.
However, Du Jinyu took him out of the room and stood in the gloomy and silent corridor. The rain was blown in by the wind and wet the uppers of his cloth shoes, making him feel a little cold.
But compared with the ghost's yin energy, this temperature can be considered warm.
Du Jinyu stood in the corridor and hesitated for a while, but still controlled Yi Tu's body and walked into the rain.
Soon all his underwear was soaked and stuck tightly to his body, and Du Jinyu was heading towards the east wing.
Yitu didn't know what it was trying to do, and there was nothing he could do except force himself to calm down.
Most of the game players lived in the east wing. It was late at night and everyone had gone to bed.
Yitu only knew that the room where Song Jingchen and Lu Nan lived was the third room on the right.
And now, he stood in the dark corridor, looking into the closed doors of the rooms one by one.
The window paper is just a decoration, and the scene inside the house can be seen clearly.
It would be more accurate to say that it was Du Jinyu who saw it through Yi Tu’s eyes rather than Yi Tu’s.
There were a man and a woman living in the first room. The man had curly hair, which didn't affect Yi Tu much.
Apart from her exceptionally fair skin, the woman's facial features were unremarkable.
The two did not sleep in the same bed. Curly slept on the floor, while the woman wore a thin nightgown. When she turned over, her slender white thighs and graceful waist were exposed.
Du Jinyu had no interest in these two people, not to mention that the woman had already noticed the movement outside the house.
A suspicious figure flashed by, and Bai Yan hesitated, but in the end she did nothing and lay back down.
At this time, Yitu was already standing at Ying Ying's door.
She, like the short man with the mustache, was alone in a room.
Yitu didn't know what props the mustache man used, and Du Jinyu couldn't even see what was happening in the room.
So they continued walking to the back. Ying Ying's room was very small, with only a bed and a chair.
At this time, she placed the chair on the bed and replaced it with a 24-inch flat suitcase.
Ying Ying was not in the room.
When Yi Tu realized this, a hint of surprise flashed through his mind.
This person was not walking around outside, but she was sleeping in the suitcase she brought with her.
Ying Ying is small, only 1.5 meters tall, so such a big box is more than enough for her to curl up and lie down in.
The reason why she did this was simply to protect herself.
Yi Tu was shocked for a moment, and he finally found the cat that Ying Ying raised in a remote corner.
The little thing with black fur was not obvious, but cats generally don’t sleep at night, not to mention that Ying Ying gave it enough sleep during the day.
But at this time, the cat named Night Watch was thrown into the corner, covered in blood.
There were still traces of blood on the white wall from where it had fallen. Only then did Yitu understand the true meaning of the cat's name.
Night Watch, the name Ying Ying chose was too straightforward, and he didn't take other people seriously.
If Yi Tu hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have thought that Ying Ying was sleeping in the box.
So she would hardly be discovered by ghost NPCs at night. There was no sign of living people in the room, only a meowing black cat.
This black cat was not meant to guard against ghosts. Ying Ying brought it into the card room to guard against players.
Cats will cry out in fear when they see ghosts, and will meow as a warning when they see strangers.
Ying Ying uses the cat's meow to distinguish whether the person in the room is a ghost or a human.
If it is the former, Ying Ying will not take the cat out of the box. If the cat dies, it dies. Anyway, after taking it out, she can just buy another one in reality.
But if it is the latter, Ying Ying will be forced out of the box, simply because the player knows she is inside, and killing her is the easiest thing.
Yitu didn’t know who killed the cat, but it couldn’t be a player, otherwise Ying Ying would have come out long ago.
Could it be that Dong Haoyue had been here too? Yi Tu was puzzled, while Du Jinyu, who hadn't seen anyone at this moment, quickly walked towards the next room.
Its unhesitating turning action made Yitu wonder whether it was looking for someone.
The two rooms at the back were occupied by Song Jingchen and his companion, as well as Hai Ling and his companions.
Du Jingyu just took a quick look and left in a hurry.
Compared to Dong Haoyue's killing out of resentment, Du Jinyu doesn't seem to have much interest in players, nor does he have a strong desire to kill.
Until they bypassed the east wing and came to Madam Hui and Dong Qingshan's room.
Late at night, only the dim candlelight in Madam Hui's room was still lit.
Yitu saw the woman sitting upright on the dressing table, with the gauze bed curtains falling to cover Mr. Dong's motionless figure.
A shadow stood behind the dressing table.
Madam Hui was quietly combing her hair with a comb, and the mirror reflected her pale, expressionless beautiful face.
Du Jinyu stopped here and didn't move.
Apparently, it was as curious as Yitu.
"As long as Dong Haoyue's resentment lasts, we will have no food to eat." Madam Hui's voice, which should have been pleasant, suddenly became hoarse and rough.
She sighed, "Dong Sanguan can't find a new servant. What should we do, Ali?"
The shadow behind the dressing table moved, and a pair of black furry claws grabbed the mirror frame.
"Don't worry, Xiaohui, there are still so many people in the house!" The shrill voice comforted, "There's enough food for us to eat for a long time."
At this point, the shrill voice paused:
"But Xiaohui, Master Dong is dying. Why don't we go back to the mountain? There are plenty of fruits there, and no one will care about your appearance. We want to—"
"shut up!"
Madam Hui suddenly interrupted the thing angrily and stood up suddenly.
When he saw Madam Hui's sudden height increase and her shoulders become much broader, Yi Tu was stunned for a moment.
"He is old, but he is not going to die soon!" Mrs. Hui couldn't help but get angry at that thing.
The thing quickly hid behind the dressing table and dared not say a word, even retracting its claws.
"Qingshan's heart is failing, so just give him a new one." Madam Hui also realized that her tone was too harsh, so she softened her voice and said:
"Ah Li, you can get a lot of hearts, right? Just like the heart you gave me back then."
It took Ali a long time to speak, and there was a hint of grievance and dissatisfaction in his shrill voice.
"But...but you are Xiaohui, and he is not..."
Madam Hui was touched and said with a smile:
"Ahri is someone very important to me and I love him very much, so he must live, okay?"
"But..." Ali's voice was muffled.
"No buts, I don't want to hear these two words again." Madam Hui's attitude became tougher.
Ali fell silent, shrinking his figure smaller and smaller, as if escaping from reality.
Mrs. Hui knew that it was making a fuss, so she ignored it and took out half a black and red thing from a velvet box.
It was a leftover heart. Madam Hui ate it bite by bite, and her body gradually turned back to normal.
Just when she breathed a sigh of relief, there was a knock on the door.
She turned her head in fright and saw a tall and thin figure standing in front of the door.
Madam Hui was stunned for a moment, but soon her expression returned to normal. With Ali by her side, she was not afraid of ghosts at all.
"Is it...Xiaoyue?"
Yi Tu's body was controlled by Du Jinyu. He couldn't speak, and Du Jinyu had no intention of speaking at all.
Madam Hui looked at the strange figure. Judging from its figure, it didn't look like Dong Haoyue. Could it be a guest in the house?
However, this idea was quickly dispelled by her because the candle in her room suddenly went out.
Ghost Blows Out the Light.
Madam Hui's expression suddenly turned ugly. Ali also stuck his head out curiously, but was pushed back into the corner by Madam Hui.
The shadow outside the house stood there for a while and then left on its own.
It seems that its appearance is just a silent warning of something.
Yi Tu's heavy body was still being dragged away by Du Jinyu. At this moment, he was so cold that he could hardly think.
But even so, he could feel Du Jinyu's mood change.
From curiosity at first, to shock, and then to anger.
Extremely angry, so angry that I wanted to kill someone.
The moment the candle went out, Yitu really suspected that the ghost was going to drag his mere human body in and rush in to kill people.
But Du Jingyu held back. He dragged Yi Tu's body forward, and his pace became faster and faster.
And the next place they were going to, if things went as expected, was the Dong family's ancestral hall.
There lay Dong Haoyue's body, which had not yet been buried.
