Chapter 98 This scene was carefully thought out

In the dead of night, dark clouds covered the moon!
In the eerie and scary rich family’s house, a scholar carrying a package on his back was walking quickly in front, holding a candle.

He walked hurriedly through the corridors and halls.

It’s just weird that in such a big house, there’s not a single living person to be seen.

Except for the slight sound of footsteps, everything was quiet.

Not far behind the scholar, Luo Xi and the other three followed cautiously.

Several people were touched.

"Thank goodness I followed this scholar, otherwise, it would not be easy to figure out the route in such a large house."

"Perhaps this is a way to pass the level, and it is also the key. As long as we follow the scholar, we should be able to escape. Wonderful!"

"This level is just like a real old house of a wealthy family. Every blade of grass, every tree, every house is very delicate and looks real. No, this is totally real. The layout of this scene really took a lot of effort!"

Whether it was Wu Rui, Mao Ge or Guo Zening, they were all in a good mood at this time. This scholar wanted to escape from the ancient house, so as long as they followed the other party, they could escape.

Only Luo Xi had a serious expression.

He felt that things were not that simple.

The scholar had said before when he was packing up, 'I have advised her before, but she didn't listen.'

Who is this 'she'?
From the current perspective, it should be his aunt, the headless lady in the mourning hall.

But what did he advise and why did he advise?
It seems to be related to that female ghost, otherwise he would not have said these words after the incident in the mourning hall.

In short, there are so many things to explore in this level scene, and Luo Xi is very curious.

If you put yourself in the shoes of a "level designer", then anything that arouses curiosity in the scene must have a deeper meaning.

At this moment, he had an idea and immediately quickened his pace towards the scholar in front. When the other party heard the noise and was about to turn back, he grabbed the other party's neck and dragged him aside.

"What are you doing?" Before the scholar could finish his words, Luo Xi covered his mouth. At this time, Wu Rui, Mao Ge and others also ran over.

Although they didn't know what Luo Xi was going to do, it didn't stop them from helping.

Some pressed the hands, some pressed the legs, it was very easy for four people to subdue one person.

What's more, scholars are useless and can't even tie a chicken. The man in front of him is not a strong one. There is fear in his eyes. I guess he thought he met a bad guy.

"Knife!"

Luo Xi said something.

Wu Rui next to her immediately handed over the dagger she used.

Luo Xi put the dagger against the scholar's neck. The cold touch made the other party even more terrified.

"Sir, I have a few questions for you to answer. If you don't answer well, I'll cut off your ears. If you don't answer well, I'll gouge out your eyes."

The scholar was so scared that he nodded repeatedly.

Luo Xi let go of the other person's mouth.

"Are you the lady's nephew?"

"Yep"

"What did you advise her about before?" Luo Xi went straight to the point.

The scholar hesitated, but under threat, he still spoke: "Actually, it was my cousin who had an affair with someone and got pregnant. My aunt thought that she had brought disgrace to the family, and that she was unmarried and pregnant. She would be looked down upon in the future, and she would not be able to raise her head in front of others. She was furious and scolded my cousin. The two argued in a secluded place in Longlong Temple. Unexpectedly, during the argument, my cousin slipped and fell off the high platform, but happened to land on a sharp rock below, and ended up with her body and head separated. There were two bodies, and my aunt was terrified. The abbot of Longlong Temple also felt that a death had occurred in a Buddhist place, which damaged its reputation, so..."

"So, they said it was an accidental fall into a well, and then they collected the body, prepared a mourning hall, and buried it hastily later, and no one knew about it from then on?"

"Yes, yes!" The scholar was surprised that the other party could actually guess the truth.

"So what did you advise?"

"I know that if a person dies unjustly, they will be filled with resentment, especially if they are pregnant. So I advised my aunt to keep everything simple and not bury them. It would be best to burn them. Once they are burned to ashes, it will be difficult for them to become ghosts. But my aunt is still a woman with a soft heart."

"That's not right!" Luo Xi shook his head: "This is a family scandal, how did you know about it?"

"That day, I went to the temple with my aunt and the others to burn incense, and I happened to see it!"

"Oh, your beloved daughter died, but you were able to keep your heart cold and hide it from others. Your aunt is quite cruel."

"My cousin is not a legitimate daughter, but the daughter of my stepmother. She is not actually close to my aunt!"

Seeing the scholar's frightened look, Luo Xi knew that what he said was probably mostly true.

In this way, things became much clearer. "Then the monk who came to perform the ritual this time, could it be the abbot of Longlong Temple?" Luo Xi thought of something at this time and asked.

The scholar shook his head hurriedly: "No, it's the master from another temple that my aunt invited."

"now it's right!"

Luo Xi nodded.

This is because if it was the abbot of Longlong Temple, he would be the one who conspired with the lady, and it is impossible for him to say such words as "Your daughter committed suicide by jumping into the well while pregnant with her child. She was so resentful that even I couldn't resolve her resentment by reciting the 'Sutra of Rebirth'."

"That's why there are bloodstains in the coffin. The body was separated when she died, so someone should have been found to sew the skin back together. But this female ghost was too resentful, so she went on a killing spree on the night she returned on the seventh day. This makes sense!"

Luo Xi was thinking quickly at this time.

He glanced at the scholar.

The latter was very frightened, his face was pale, and he looked at Luo Xi nervously.

"Do you know what happened at the funeral hall?"

"Could it be that my cousin has turned into a ghost?"

"So smart!" Luo Xi's compliment made the scholar even more frightened. He struggled for a while and probably wanted to run away.

Luo Xi said at this time: "Then tell me, if I take you to the mourning hall and hand you over to your cousin, will she be happy?"

"No, no." The fear in the scholar's eyes was about to overflow, and he was begging for mercy again and again.

"You're packing your luggage in the middle of the night and want to run away?" Luo Xi asked again.

The scholar nodded repeatedly.

"Get up and lead the way!" Luo Xi actually had a lot of ideas in his mind, but after thinking about it, he still felt that the most important thing was to pass the level first.

Since the scholar knows how to leave, let him lead the way.

The scholar was overjoyed when he heard this. As long as he could leave now, that would be better than anything else.

However, in order to prevent the other party from playing tricks, Luo Xi let Mao Ge and Wu Rui walk in front, and he and Guo Zening followed behind, sandwiching the scholar in between.

The knife is against the waist.

I have made it very clear, if you try to play tricks, I will stab you to death!

A few people started walking forward, and the scholar showed the way.

According to him, you can go around the small courtyard in front to the back door and go out from the back door.

Halfway through, Luo Xi asked the scholar if there were any other strange things in the house.

"No!" The scholar shook his head.

It doesn't look like a lie.

In this case, what was that resentment that Brother Mao sensed in the garden pavilion before?
Needless to say, the water in this scene is very deep.

This is also the reason why Luo Xi planned to escape first.

No matter what, the key is to clear the level first and get the reward.

Just walk around the small courtyard at the back and see a red wall connected to the rock behind. Not to mention there is no door, even if there is a door, you can't get out because there is a rock wall outside.

"How could this happen?" The scholar was shocked. He acted extremely terrified. "How could there be no door? Ah, I understand. I understand. This is the Night of Return of the Souls. The resentment is overwhelming, so the world is turned upside down, giving birth to a place of ghosts. This is bad. I can't get out now!"

Beside them, Luo Xi and the others also had frowns on their faces.

"Trouble!" Brother Mao sighed. Wu Rui said nothing and waited for Luo Xi to make arrangements. Guo Zening also looked frustrated, but he seemed to adjust his mentality quickly: "That's normal. This place is not difficult to find. If it was so easy to escape, it wouldn't be difficult for ten people."

Just at this moment, Brother Mao suddenly turned his head and looked to the side.

"Is there a figure over there?"

Several people also looked over and found that it was true. It was only because of the moonlight at this moment that they could see it.

Brother Mao took two steps forward, looked inside, and was stunned.

"Why are you here?"

　The third update is here today!
