Chapter 291 [(*^▽^*)]
The couple exchanged a glance and then sighed deeply.
“Old man, how did things turn out like this? We didn’t mean it that way before, it’s their own fault for being so emotional…”
"Alright, stop talking. Things are different now. There are so many masters in the village now. If they hear this, it could ruin everything!"
"Is the junior brother that Master Lin brought back really such a powerful master? Perhaps this junior brother is not skilled enough and is just following Master Lin out for training?"
"If only it were like that, I don't know what the village chief was thinking. If we're going to find a master, one or two would be enough. If they fail, we can find others. Why did he bring in so many masters all at once?"
"Sigh... these masters have really messed things up in the village. Even during the day, so many of them try to break into that dilapidated house. If we hadn't discovered them in time..."
"The village chief didn't tell them where they weren't allowed to go. In this way, aren't we the ones who suffer? I don't believe that just because they chased them away during the day, they won't go back at night."
“We two have to take turns keeping watch tonight. We absolutely cannot let them in. If they break in and find something they shouldn’t have, the village chief will definitely hold us responsible if he finds out.”
"This is so unfair! Why do we always have to take the blame for everything?"
This was clearly the village chief's fault. If he hadn't brought so many people here, there wouldn't have been such a mess! They both felt terrible.
"Alright, go to sleep first. I'll wake you up in a few hours, then I'll go to sleep."
"Okay, I'll go upstairs first. You keep a close eye on things, don't miss anyone, okay?"
"I know, you're so long-winded, do I really need to remind you?"
The woman quickly went upstairs, leaving only the man below. Lin Leyou didn't recall the mechanical spider but instead let it follow the woman upstairs to the second and third floors.
As she passed the second floor, she glanced inside a few times, but finding nothing, she continued upstairs. She went straight back to her room, and this time, without causing any trouble, she went straight to sleep.
The mechanical spider remained on top, and Lin Leyou threw another mechanical spider downstairs, watching the man. He saw the man move a chair outside and hide in a corner that was not easily noticed.
It's nighttime now, and it's very dark outside. Although there are some stars, you can probably see them a little better once you get used to the darkness, but they certainly won't be able to spot him hiding in the shadows.
Unless the player who came here used a tool to investigate the area, and of course it also depends on the type of tool. If the type doesn't match, they won't be able to find the NPC who is watching them.
Two mechanical spiders stared at the couple from above and below. Then he lay down next to Xue Rui, closed his eyes, and prepared to sleep. It was clearly not the time to go out now.
Who knows when this female ghost will appear? Based on the conversation between the couple just now, what Fan Yu said earlier is probably 90% true. Perhaps one layer of it is because he was too resentful, so he added some personal emotions to it.
As expected, the truth often lies in the hands of a minority.
Lin Leyou fell asleep quickly. When he was awakened by the warning from the mechanical spider, it was already 12:30 a.m. Before checking the situation, he thought that players had come downstairs.
But to my surprise, it was the woman who slept on the third floor who woke up and wanted to go downstairs.
Lin Leyou remained calm and continued lying on the bed, letting the mechanical spider that had been watching her follow her. She swayed unsteadily, unable to walk steadily up the stairs, as if she would roll down the stairs with every step. In the end, she stopped moving when she reached the second floor.
Her eyes were fixed on the door on the second floor, as if her gaze could penetrate the wall and see them directly on the other side. Although Lin Leyou wasn't afraid of this sight, she still felt a chill.
What exactly does this person want to do? They both expect them to kill and exorcise ghosts and fear that they will uncover the truth, so they are caught in a dilemma.
Without the truth, they might not be able to find the female ghost. But if they knew the truth, they wouldn't be willing to help them kill the evil spirit. So they struggled with this dilemma day and night.
To be honest, it is indeed quite tiring.
Just then, Xue Rui rolled over and put one leg and one arm on him. Lin Leyou was stunned when he saw this, hesitated for a moment, then raised his eyebrows slightly but did not make a move.
Continue to observe the outside situation using the mechanical spider.
The woman stood there on the second floor the whole time, as if she were nailed there, and only moved her feet when the man downstairs came up to tell her to come down.
What are you doing here?
He was startled when he saw his wife standing on the second-floor staircase. Although he sometimes did the same, he believed that he was her own person and others were theirs.
"What's wrong with you? Can't you sleep?"
He spoke very softly so as not to wake the two masters sleeping on the second floor.
He quickly realized something was wrong. Why wasn't his wife moving? He asked her two questions, but she just stood on the second floor, and the most she did was move her feet a couple of times.
What's wrong with you?
She still didn't react, her eyes still fixed on the direction of the second-floor door.
He then became a little scared, because at that moment, when he looked closely, he realized that his wife's eyes... were completely black and white, and the pupils were pure black!
Oh no! She's been possessed by a ghost!
He wanted to run away in fear, but if he turned and ran downstairs, he would be chased and killed; if he ran upstairs, he would have to get past his wife, and the top floor was a dead end.
So there was only one option left: to wake up the two masters on the second floor, pretend that he hadn't noticed anything, and walk into the second floor.
"Oh, since you're standing here, you must want to see the master. In that case, I'll go and call them!"
Before the ghost could react, he immediately went to the door and knocked. The urgent knocking was very jarring in the quiet night.
At this moment, he finally realized that his wife was looking at him. No, why was she looking at him now?
He continued knocking on the door, even shouting, "Master! Master, wake up! My wife needs to see you! It's very important."
Xue Rui was woken up by the noise. He woke up groggily and found that half of his body was lying on Lin Leyou. He immediately jumped up and said, "Sorry, Brother Lin."
Lin Leyou shook his head. "It's nothing. Someone is knocking on the door. Do you want to go out and check?"
He had mentioned to Xue Rui before that the couple had told him something would knock on the door at night, but there was nothing there.
Xue Rui: "Open the door, I feel like it's a real person."
The person outside, perhaps seeing that they hadn't opened the door for so long, knocked even more urgently, "Master! Master!! Open the door quickly, please open the door!"
Lin Leyou opened the door and saw the couple outside. The man had already shrunk into a corner by the door, while the woman stood beside him, only about a meter away, seemingly about to move closer.
But he opened the door, interrupting her. "What's going on?"
Just then, the woman outside seemed to suddenly wake up. She looked at Lin Leyou, who had opened the door, with a panic, and quickly waved her hand, "It's nothing, it's nothing. We just couldn't sleep at night, so we came upstairs to find something. We didn't mean to disturb you."
At this point, she raised her hand and slapped her husband on the shoulder, "Say something! Why were you banging on the door? You woke up the master!"
Seeing that his wife had returned to normal, he breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm sorry, Master. I don't know what happened to me at the time. Maybe I was just a little scared at night..."
Lin Leyou looked outside and said, "If you need to find something, you can turn on the light. That way you won't be afraid of the dark."
They paused for a moment before realizing, "Yes, we could turn on the light. Maybe turning on the light would scare the female ghost away, and we wouldn't have to be in this awkward situation."
Lin Leyou, "Is there... anything else?"
"It's alright, Master, please continue to rest. We'll go and rest too."
Lin Leyou, "Did you find something?"
"Yes, I found it. Sorry to bother you so late..."
Lin Leyou waved his hand, "It's okay, we're all awake anyway and can't fall back asleep. I'm planning to take my junior brother out for a look. You guys go to sleep first."
The couple were stunned. "Go out and take a look? Go look there?"
Lin Leyou said, "Don't female ghosts only come out at night? If that's the case, we definitely need to go out at night to find the female ghost and then exorcise it. Otherwise, if we're always sleeping at night, what can we do during the day?"
They were speechless, unable to refute or disagree, because they also wanted the masters to eliminate the female ghost as soon as possible.
"Well... then I wish the masters all the best in their endeavors."
Lin Leyou said, "Well, thank you for your blessings. In that case, we'll head out now. You should all go upstairs and rest."
Under Lin Leyou's gaze, the couple reluctantly walked upstairs.
They were both worried that the two masters might go to the dilapidated house next door, and if so, whether they should stop them.
If you're going to stop them, what reason can you give? Go see the village chief? Is it really okay to go see the village chief so late at night?
Of course, it's possible. If the village chief knew, he would definitely come. However, the village chief's attitude towards them afterward is debatable, since he had entrusted them with the task of looking after the dilapidated house.
Now there are always problems, and every time something happens, they go to him. The village chief must be unhappy.
After all, this whole thing started because of them, and now the extra land they're using to build houses is also in their hands.
