This time, Ji Xinglan focused her attention on the copper coins, which I guess is because she remembered the question about the value of money that I had mentioned when she left.
However, Ji Xinglan just looked at me, as if she was asking me for help.
I quickly tried to send a telepathic message to Ji Xinglan, but I couldn't get it to go through!
Oh no, it seems the other party has blocked the voice transmission function.
Damn it!
I'd say there's something strange about this place!
I quickly gave Ji Xinglan a look, and just as Ji Xinglan was about to walk to the copper coin, she sensed my gaze and chose the gold instead.
"Hmm, very good, these things are yours! Master Chen, your wife is quite remarkable!"
At this moment, Old Master Lin nodded with great satisfaction.
Although it was a compliment to Ji Xinglan, the words were actually directed at me.
“Master Chen, this should be our second meeting. It’s been a long time since our last brief farewell!”
At this moment, Grandpa Lin said something completely inexplicable to me again.
I'm completely numb right now.
Because all I could think of were four words: game save!
Old Master Lin clearly remembered what happened last time, but the lady beside him was definitely not in the same state as last time.
"Uncle Chen, can you hear me?"
Before I could even process what was happening, Ji Xinglan's voice echoed in my mind.
I was overjoyed because the telepathy could be used again.
"Okay, Xinglan!" I quickly replied to Ji Xinglan. I was also worried about Ji Xinglan's condition after the connection was cut off.
Fortunately, Ji Xinglan passed the test this time.
"You scared me to death, Uncle Chen! I was just asking for your opinion, but no matter how I relayed the message, there was no response. Luckily, you gave me a look, otherwise, this time, there would have been a real problem!"
I sensed a feeling of relief and survival from Ji Xinglan's voice; yes, that's exactly it.
My heart is pounding right now. If Ji Xinglan had chosen the copper coin option, I reckon it would have been very difficult to get through the later levels.
Old Master Lin walked up to Lin Da, picked up the gold, and respectfully handed it to Ji Xinglan.
"Alright, Mrs. Chen, this is what you deserve. Keep it safe!"
Grandpa Lin's attitude was very good, almost strangely so. I sent a telepathic message to Ji Xinglan, telling her not to be nervous and to relax. Now that she had passed the test, she could just take the reward.
Ji Xinglan thanked Old Master Lin, picked up the gold, took out the booklet, and put the gold into the booklet in front of Old Master Lin.
Old Master Lin didn't even blink.
I ordered Ji Xinglan to put the gold into the booklet. My purpose was to test Old Master Lin's reaction.
Sure enough, Old Master Lin knew a lot about this kind of thing.
"Both Old Master Lin and Lin Da have problems!"
I sent a telepathic message to Ji Xinglan in my mind, and Ji Xinglan moved slightly. I felt that Ji Xinglan's heart was racing at this moment.
I closed my eyes and scanned them again using my third eye, but both of them had problems!
Are there two ghost hands?
No, the booklet already mentioned that Ghost Hand is a single person; it's impossible for two people to appear.
"Uncle Chen, I think Lin Da is just like Director Wang!"
At that moment, Ji Xinglan suddenly sent me a telepathic message.
"I remember that Director Wang had a black mole on his neck. I could see it every time I handed in my assignments, and it even smelled bad in the summer!"
Ji Xinglan silently transmitted her voice to me. I glanced at Lin Da out of the corner of my eye, and sure enough, there was a black mole on Lin Da's neck.
It was exactly the same as what Ji Xinglan described.
I suddenly remembered that when I entered the Lin family compound before, Lin Da didn't have this thing around his neck.
And most importantly, that's what Lin Er said today.
When I asked Lin Da where he had gone, Lin Er told me that he didn't know and was a little scared.
Based on what happened today, I think I understand now.
The original Lin Da has disappeared, and the current Lin Da has been replaced without anyone noticing.
The person who replaced him was Director Wang.
"Xinglan, you did a great job. If it weren't for your discovery, I really wouldn't have been able to figure out who Director Wang is!"
I excitedly transmitted my voice to Ji Xinglan. After listening, Ji Xinglan immediately prepared to place her hand on the booklet and take out her weapon.
Ji Xinglan stared at Lin Da, who felt a little guilty, and his face began to melt.
Looking at Lin Da's face, I felt a chill run down my spine.
This is a terrifying face; the original human skin has disappeared, replaced by a mud-like substance.
It also exudes a ghostly aura.
"Uncle Chen, it seems we guessed right. Director Lin is Director Wang, and Director Wang is Ghost Hand!"
Ji Xinglan was a little excited and immediately pulled out two short swords from the booklet.
Lin Dashun closed his eyes as well, giving up resistance, as if to tell Ji Xinglan, "Go ahead and do it!"
Just a second before Ji Xinglan made her move, I rushed over and grabbed her.
I took the short sword from Ji Xinglan's hand, and Ji Xinglan stared at me in bewilderment.
"Uncle Chen, what are you doing!"
Ji Xinglan couldn't believe her eyes.
He thought I had betrayed him.
I have no explanation now. I picked up Ji Xinglan's short sword and slashed directly at Old Master Lin.
