Chapter 183 [(*^▽^*)]
Lin Leyou thought she would stand up and walk around, trying to get out or find someone, but she didn't expect Zhao Anxue to just sit there without moving.
She covered her face and leaned against the corner of the wall, crying and calling out for her master and son, but no one appeared around her, not even a candle.
Only a sliver of moonlight shone on the ground, and the surrounding outlines could be vaguely seen.
Almost half an hour had already passed, and Lin Leyou didn't intend to waste the remaining hour and a half. Since Zhao Anxue was unwilling to get up and run by herself, he would help her out a little.
Lin Leyou smiled and slowly appeared at the corner in front of Zhao Anxue. Zhao Anxue had just wiped away her tears when she looked up and saw something appearing in the shadows ahead.
She was terrified, her whole body stiffened. She couldn't even stand up and run, she forgot to scream, and even forgot to blink. Her eyes were fixed on the blurry black figure in front of her.
It wasn't until Lin Leyou slowly floated out of the shadows that Zhao Anxue realized that the thing floating around was actually a person!
No, it's not human! It's not human!
How can a person float? What is this? What is this?
Zhao Anxue opened her mouth wide, but couldn't make a sound, as if she had temporarily lost the ability to speak, staring at the dark figure with a face full of fear.
Seeing how terrified she was, Lin Leyou felt a sense of accomplishment. He hadn't expected to be so talented. If he could just kill her directly, he wouldn't have had to go through all this trouble.
He slowly brought his body to the surface again, revealing most of it in the dim moonlight. His head was lowered as he looked down at the ground, so Zhao Anxue couldn't see his face.
But having lived under the same roof for so long, Zhao Anxue should know whose familiar figure this is, even if she can't see the face.
At this point, Zhao Anxue could no longer bear it and let out a heart-wrenching scream that could be heard throughout the village, while struggling to get up and run away.
Lin Leyou blinked and chose to blur. The spot where he had just appeared was now completely invisible, as if nothing had ever existed in the first place.
He raised his hand and rubbed his ears. That scream just now was really powerful, especially since it happened inside the ghost wall. Otherwise, the whole village would have heard it!
"It's time to get rid of the 'ghost wall' problem..."
Although he originally planned to detain Zhao Anxue for two hours, given the current situation, he decided to cancel the plan to maximize its value.
After the illusion of being trapped in a maze was broken, Zhao Anxue found herself finally in a populated area, where she finally saw a glimmer of candlelight!
"I'm back! I'm back! Hahahaha..."
"Madam?! What's wrong, Madam?"
Zhao Anxue seemed not to hear her, gripping her wrist tightly before finally collapsing into her arms.
"Oh, Madam! Something terrible has happened! Someone come quick! Madam has fainted!"
Soon a group of servants ran over, and several maids hurriedly carried Zhao Anxue back to the house. At this time, Lin Zhoushan and Lin Yangxu also learned about this.
However, they had no idea what had happened. According to the servants, Zhao Anxue had suddenly fainted, and they had no idea what was wrong.
Lin Zhoushan will definitely go. Although Lin Yangxu doesn't want to go, he knows it's impossible. His mother is in trouble, and his father will definitely go. If he doesn't go...
Although he was indifferent to the situation, he did need to put on a show while his father was still alive, just in case something unexpected happened.
Lin Zhoushan arrived at the main courtyard. "What exactly happened?"
"Master, Madam suddenly rushed over from outside, she seemed a bit off, and then she fainted. I don't know what happened."
"Go outside and look for anything!"
Several servants quickly ran back from outside. "Master, there's nothing outside. It's not very late yet, and there are often people walking around outside. No one saw when Madam came out."
Lin Zhoushan looked at Zhao Anxue lying on the bed, her body covered in scrapes and bruises from a fall, her hair disheveled and dirty, as if she had rolled on the ground.
What exactly happened? What went wrong? Was he hit? Or did he really fall?
"No one saw how she got out? Where are the maids who serve her in the courtyard?"
Then the two maids who were serving in the main courtyard were brought over, and they knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"Master, this servant knows nothing! Madam has been staying inside the house the whole time and hasn't come out at all. We've been guarding the courtyard the whole time, but we haven't seen anything..."
Lin Zhoushan felt something was amiss. Just as he was about to ask more questions, Zhao Anxue, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened her eyes and sat up.
"Madam is awake!"
Lin Zhoushan turned to look at her, "Madam, what happened? How did you get into this state?"
Seeing so many people, Zhao Anxue seemed a little dazed, as if she hadn't fully recovered yet. When she saw Lin Zhoushan sitting in front of her, she subconsciously reached out and grabbed his sleeve.
"Sir, I see him!"
Lin Zhoushan was stunned for a moment before he realized what Zhao Anxue meant. He first looked at the others in the room and said, "You all go out and do your work!"
"Yes, sir."
Soon everyone left in a flurry, leaving only Lin Yangxu behind.
He frowned slightly, thinking Zhao Anxue was talking nonsense. "Mother, what are you talking about? What do you mean you saw him? Who did you see?"
Lin Zhoushan also looked at her, waiting for an answer, waiting for Zhao Anxue to say that name.
Zhao Anxue only then realized that she had escaped. She burst into tears, wiping away her tears as she sobbed, "Master, I saw him! I really saw him!"
"I was in the house when suddenly all the candles went out. I went outside, but no matter where I went, I was stuck in the same place. I couldn't find anyone, there was no one there!"
She cried very sadly, tears streaming down her face, clearly terrified.
"Master...I'm so scared, I'm really so scared!"
Lin Zhoushan's expression was calm, revealing nothing of his thoughts, but Lin Yangxu's expression was indifferent; he believed that all of this was caused by his mother hallucinating.
When are we finally going to leave? If we keep staying here pretending to be filial, he'll get impatient too.
Fortunately, Lin Zhoushan quickly said, "Ah Xu, you should go back and rest first, it's so late..."
Lin Yangxu quickly perked up, "Dad, I'll go rest now. Mom, you should also get some rest and not think about these things."
He clearly doesn't believe it.
After Lin Yangxu left, Lin Zhoushan began to ask about the details, and Zhao Anxue told Lin Zhoushan what she still remembered little by little.
"Master, do you think... he's really back?"
He died just yesterday, right? And he's back today as a vengeful ghost? That's too fast!
Lin Zhoushan said, "It's alright, you go to sleep first. We'll take care of some things tomorrow, and this matter will be resolved quickly. Don't worry."
Zhao Anxue gradually calmed down; with Lin Zhoushan around, she felt much more at ease.
"Over the years, from childhood to adulthood, the master has been more than kind to him, never shortchanging him in any way. I never expected something like this to happen..."
Lin Leyou rolled her eyes to the side. This Zhao Anxue was practically telling Lin Zhoushan directly that the child he had raised with such care for so many years turned out to be an ingrate.
He didn't appreciate the kindness his family had shown him at all; instead, he returned as a vengeful ghost to wreak havoc on the family!
Lin Zhoushan didn't say anything, but he did go to sleep in the house.
Looking at the calm Lin Zhoushan, Lin Leyou suddenly felt something was wrong. What was going on? Lin Zhoushan was behaving too calmly.
He suddenly had a bad feeling. He had now become a vengeful ghost, and Lin Zhoushan would definitely not be able to catch him or even kill him.
Of course, he couldn't just kill Zhao Anxue and Lin Yangxu to complete the mission.
How will Lin Zhoushan deal with himself?
Why bother going looking for monks or Taoist priests? We can't leave this Lin Family Village...
Oh right, there are also players. If there are players around, is Lin Zhoushan planning to go find those players?
That doesn't make sense either!
The players have only been here for a day, and Lin Zhoushan doesn't know what items or abilities they have. How can he entrust this confidential matter to them?
So what is the reason?
What does Lin Zhoushan plan to do to deal with himself?
Lin Leyou decided to go out for a stroll and see what was going on. Maybe the answer would just come to him while he was wandering around?
He wandered around the Lin residence, where many servants were discussing what had just happened. The story spread like wildfire, becoming increasingly outrageous, until some even claimed that Zhao Anxue had been frightened to death.
He left the Lin residence to check out the village. It was dark, and there were hardly any people in the village. He then went to the place where the players lived and quickly found Xue Rui, who was in the same house as Zhou Feng.
Xue Rui and Zhou Feng weren't sleeping; instead, they were huddled together talking. After listening for a while, it seemed they were discussing how to go out that night to find clues for their mission.
Zhou Feng said, "This village seems very peaceful, and everyone is living a good life. It will probably not be easy to find anything unusual."
Lin Leyou's lips curled into a smile. He had a rough idea of what the player's mission was, and it must be himself!
Since he couldn't kill Zhao Anxue and Lin Yangxu himself, he could only keep using his abilities to frighten them. In the process of being frightened, they would panic and eventually die of fright, or they might fall into the lake and drown.
In short, there must be a way for them to die.
This gives players some buffer time, allowing them to discover clues and find the anomalies in the Lin residence.
It's unclear whether the player's mission is to protect the Lin family or something else. If it's to protect the Lin family, then it conflicts with his own mission, but he will definitely not show any mercy.
