Nothing particularly special happened along the way, and we soon arrived at Grandpa Lin's room, which was a little different from the last time.
This time we took the main road directly, and it only took us less than 15 minutes to get there.
"Alright, I've conveyed the message to you two, please come in!"
Lin Er and the others respectfully made way for us, and then I pulled Ji Xinglan away.
Of course, before leaving, Lin Er caught up with me and whispered a reminder in my ear.
"Master Chen! I'm not sure if I should say this, but I feel there's something wrong with our master!"
I was about to ask him something more when he suddenly ran away, not giving me a chance to ask any more questions.
I pushed open the door, and it felt the same as last time. Old Master Lin and Madam Lin were sitting there, while Lin Da was watching from the side.
That's what I find strange.
Because when Lin Er mentioned Lin Da just now, he acted as if he had seen a ghost.
So here's what I find strange: since Lin Daneng was able to appear in the room so openly, why didn't he tell me this when we were talking?
"Master Chen, I feel like there's something wrong with Lin Da. Every time I see him, my heart aches!"
Just then, Ji Xinglan suddenly sent me a telepathic message. I was a little shocked, but I quickly realized what was going on.
The ability to transmit sound is a new skill I gained after merging with Ji Xinglan.
After all, we've both spied on each other's memories, so this ability is nothing special.
"Pretty much, I have the same feeling. Just be careful, maybe this Lin Da is the Ghost Hand we're looking for, and also Director Wang!"
I glanced briefly at Ji Xinglan and then told him my thoughts.
From the school to now, almost all the relevant personnel have appeared, except for Director Wang, who caused the most harm to the bride Lin Momo.
Therefore, I am certain that Director Wang did not fail to appear, but rather was impersonating someone else.
Just as I put my hand on the mirror, the voice of that booklet came to mind again.
"Once the goal is set, you must make the right choice, or you will all die!"
This booklet reminded me of something, and I broke out in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, this booklet reminded me quickly enough. If it had been a little slower, I probably would have grabbed Ji Xinglan's knife and chopped Lin Da right away.
The booklet also stated that I only have one chance, and if I make a mistake, it will be a dead end.
"Uncle Chen, it seems we need to think this through more carefully; we can't be so hasty!"
Seeing that I was about to make a move, Ji Xinglan quickly gave me a wink and transmitted her voice.
I nodded slightly and told Ji Xinglan to first see what they were up to, and then we would talk after we figured it out.
I quickly stepped forward and bowed to Grandpa Lin and the others to express my respect.
"Master Chen, please stand up! There's no need for such formalities between us!"
When Grandpa Lin saw me like this, he quickly stood up from his chair, rushed over to me, and helped me up.
Regardless of what kind of person Old Master Lin was before, he was given a lot of face here.
And Madam Lin also smiled. I stared at Madam Lin's face and was surprised to find that Madam Lin was a living person.
The last time I saw Madam Lin, she was a puppet, or rather, a corpse.
Now it's like he's a completely different person, which shocked me quite a bit.
It seems that this Mr. and Mrs. Lin are not the same couple as last time. It's a bit like playing a closed beta version of a game.
The settings are still the same, but the version is no longer the same.
Grandpa Lin quickly helped me up and pointed at Ji Xinglan.
Old Master Lin instructed Lin Da to have the servants prepare seats for us. Soon the servants arrived and arranged seats for the two of us, and then we sat down.
"We invited the master here today because we have an important matter to ask of you!"
After we sat down, Lin Da poured us tea, and then Grandpa Lin looked at me with a smile and told me his purpose.
I nodded slightly, signaling for Grandpa Lin to continue. I still didn't know what the old man wanted to do.
"I know that Master Chen has a valuable item in his possession, the Corpse-Sewing Box!"
This time, I'm willing to pay a hefty sum to acquire this treasure from the master!
Grandpa Lin is speaking passionately and movingly now, as if he really wants this thing.
I frowned slightly, somewhat surprised. How did this old man know?
"Since the old man wants it, he can take it. Let's not talk about whether it's gold or not!"
With a slight movement of my hand, I took the box out of the mirror and placed it on the table.
I've already taken the most important ball of yarn from this box; as for the rest, I don't feel anything as strongly about them.
If Mr. Lin really wants it, and the price he offers is high enough, then I can still choose to sell it.
I pushed the box over, and Grandpa Lin quickly hugged it to his arms and carefully opened it.
When he saw what was inside, a slight sense of disappointment flashed across Old Master Lin's face, but it vanished in an instant.
Grandpa Lin didn't ask me where the ball of thread went; instead, he clapped his hands.
"Lin Da, go and get those things!"
Old Master Lin spoke to Lin Da.
Lin Da said "Oh," and then ran to the back room. Surrounded by several servants, they brought out three plates.
Each plate looks very heavy.
You can't tell what's inside from the outside because the plate is covered with a red cloth.
I scanned it with my clairvoyance, and to my surprise, the red cloth was able to block it.
These three plates definitely contain something with energy, but that energy is completely blocked by the red cloth.
After the food was served, Old Master Lin gave a wink.
The servants then tore off all the red cloth, revealing gold, silver, and copper coins.
Without the red cloth to conceal me, I observed through the celestial eye.
To my surprise, the most powerful energy this time was gold, followed by silver, and then copper coins.
"I've taken the items, and this is my payment! However, it's up to you, Madam, to choose which dish to serve!"
At this moment, Grandpa Lin did not ask me, but looked at Ji Xinglan, and threw this most important question to Ji Xinglan.
Ji Xinglan was stunned for a moment, somewhat flustered. However, Ji Xinglan was a well-educated and polite person. After bowing to Old Master Lin, she began to make her choice.
I know that if Ji Xinglan makes the wrong choice this time, these people are very likely to attack us.
To be precise, the first reason we were called here was for this box, and the second was for Ji Xinglan.
Ji Xinglan turned her attention to the copper coin.
