Chapter 293 Daily Life at Strange Villa
The two ghosts told their experiences.
"We were originally cultivators. We traveled to the ghost world a hundred years ago, but were killed by the rules of Joy Villa. We became earthbound spirits and are trapped in the villa for eternity, unable to leave."
"After we became the owner's lackeys, we were enslaved by him and had to help him kill people constantly."
He inadvertently revealed a lot of inside information to Ye Xiaoman.
"After being harmed by Happy Villa, the residents will become the villa's evil spirits."
"The strong ghosts will devour the weak ghosts."
"The best among the evil spirits will be appreciated by the owner and become a staff member of the villa."
"The housekeeper and servants are all extremely vicious ghosts. Each of them has hundreds or even thousands of lives on their hands. You'd better not offend them."
Ye Xiaoman asked them for specific information about the owner of the manor.
The two ghosts shook their heads in fear. Due to the rules, they could not tell her any information.
They played until midnight and left reluctantly.
"If you don't want to be harassed by evil spirits, you can light three incense sticks at the door and offer some fruits. Most ghosts will let you go after receiving the gifts."
"For two hundred years, you're the only one who knew this."
Ye Xiaoman leaned against the door frame and waved her handkerchief: "Guests, please come and play next time~"
The night passed without incident.
Ye Xiaoman slept very well in the second half of the night.
When they woke up in the morning, they saw that the escorts all had dark circles under their eyes and looked listless.
Qi Kou said, "Don't ask me anymore. The ghost combed my hair in the mirror in my room all night. In the second half of the night, I even had sleep paralysis. She came close to me and tried to comb my hair. I was lucky I didn't die of fright."
Ye Xiaoman shared with them ways to avoid harassment from evil spirits.
After listening to this, everyone looked at Ye Xiaoman as if she were a goddess, and felt that nothing could stump her.
Still sleeping behind closed doors when online.
Ye Xiaoman asked: "What are you going to do today?"
It was the first time for everyone to live in a haunted house and they had no experience.
First go out and drink the well water that you must drink every day.
Ye Xiaoman walked out of the yard and looked expectantly at the small wooden gate next door, but she was unlucky and didn't meet the cat demon boy.
When they arrived at the well from yesterday, the news that Ye Xiaoman had been detoxified spread throughout the villa overnight. All the residents came to the well to drink water, and the line was very long.
Ye Xiaoman was a little surprised to see the bustling crowd. She estimated that there were about 500 people.
She did some calculations. The villa would open its doors to customers during the Ghost Festival every year, and hundreds of people would be killed each time. In the more than 200 years since the villa was established, the owner had at least tens of thousands of lives at his disposal.
As soon as Ye Xiaoman appeared, everyone in the audience made way for her, allowing her to go to the front and drink water first.
The escorts were proud of it, and Qi Kou proudly led the way, successfully taking on the role of the number one henchman.
The scene was like a big boss inspecting his territory.
The scholar in Confucian robes who killed more than a dozen people yesterday was also at the scene.
He hid in the crowd and stared at Ye Xiaoman viciously.
If he could kill Ye Xiaoman, he could absorb the merits from her and further increase his strength.
He licked his cracked lips greedily and decided to do it to her as soon as possible.
There were some people present who had the same idea as the scholar.
Ye Xiaoman seemed to have a lot of good things on her. If she died, we could take all her belongings for ourselves.
Although she seems to have some power behind her, if she dies in the villa, the life debt will be counted on the owner of the villa and has nothing to do with them.
If you want to blame someone, blame her for being too high-profile and not understanding the principle that the first tree to stick its head out gets shot.
The butler appeared silently.
When he saw the well, his face became gloomy.
The poison in the well water was removed.
The potion dissolved in the immortal elixir will produce antibodies when the monk drinks it, so poisoning will be useless.
Unless the owner of the manor also gets the immortal-grade bone-eroding moss to upgrade the grade of the poison.
But then again, if the owner of the manor is really that rich and has the financial strength to easily import several God-level spiritual herbs, he can just spend money to buy souls for cultivation. Why does he need to run an inn and kill people in the outskirts of the ghost domain?
It is risky for ghost cultivators to operate in dangerous places.
If the rules are not strict and are broken by residents, it will backfire on the rule makers.
As a result of Ye Xiaoman's actions, the owner of the manor probably suffered a small backlash and is now vomiting blood.
The housekeeper has his eyes on Ye Xiaoman. He must get rid of this bad apple before the owner of the manor gets involved.
Tomorrow night... no, he will do it to her tonight!
The housekeeper walked among the residents.
The residents had accumulated experience in dealing with the housekeeper, so they all lowered their heads and closed their eyes to avoid seeing his true face.
The butler's eyes had no black part, and the whites of his eyes swept over the people with lowered heads as he loudly lectured them.
"You guys eat and drink for free all day at Happy Villa. You can't get away with it that easily. Only those who contribute to the villa deserve to live."
The housekeeper began to assign daily tasks to the residents. Regardless of whether they were present or not, the tasks were synchronized to everyone's mind with one click through the rules.
"Every resident must introduce a new resident to the villa every day. The statistics will be counted every seven days. Those who fail to meet the requirements will be executed."
The residents cried out in grief, but there was nothing they could do.
The rules state that residents must obey the housekeeper’s orders, and the residents must do as the housekeeper commands.
No wonder there are so many people handing out flyers in town.
Ye Xiaoman thought that Amu went to the street to recruit people because he was forced by the housekeeper. The cat is good but the person is bad.
When Amu was distributing flyers, he would remind people not to follow him. My brother is a kind-hearted person.
"You are free to arrange your time during the day. Except for the area where the owner and the eldest young master live, you can visit other places at will."
"If you go outside the villa to solicit customers, you must be back before sunset. If you don't go to bed in time, hehe, you know the consequences."
After the housekeeper assigns daily tasks, he issues the second task for today.
"It is our duty to take good care of the young master."
"The young master needs a lot of service staff."
"Today, the young master is short of people again. I will select two people from among you to serve the young master."
"Let's draw lots."
Ye Xiaoman observed that the elderly residents present were all frightened when they heard that they would be assigned to take care of the eldest young master.
She heard people around her whispering:
"The person who was assigned to take care of the young master yesterday died again."
"No one can survive more than three days with the young master!"
"Please don't hit me..."
It sounds like a life-threatening job.
The housekeeper waved his hand, and Ye Xiaoman vaguely saw a stick box shaking constantly, and finally two sticks fell out.
Signature slips appeared out of thin air in the hands of two people at the scene.
The two men followed the servants with deathly pale faces.
The housekeeper felt a little disappointed when he saw that Ye Xiaoman did not win the lottery.
Before he left, he said threateningly:
"You guys often skip meals now. How can this be okay? I'm really worried about your health. From now on, you must eat three meals a day regularly."
This was the third order he had given today.
He stared at Ye Xiaoman for a while before leaving.
