What should I do if I pass through the ruined Hokage?

Chapter 68 Ghosts
"I'm really sorry, my father is getting old. There are so many things going on these days and the house is haunted by ghosts. It's inevitable that my mood fluctuates a little. I hope I forgive you."

As soon as the man returned to the hall, he apologized to everyone first.

Judging from the fine beads of sweat on his neck and forehead, as well as the sound of slightly panting breathing, it was obvious that he had trotted all the way here.

Maybe it was frightened by the heavy cold snort.

But now Xin Mu and the others are not sitting very well. Just now, they took advantage of the gap after the old man left and they stopped kneeling.

One by one, they began to massage their calves.

Among them, Xin Mu has already begun to massage Sakura, to activate blood circulation and unblock collaterals.

Children's health is not good at this point, and their physical fitness is not as good as that of adults.

Uchiha Haijima's legs are not numb at all, mainly because he doesn't sit on his knees.

So, when the man looked up after apologizing, he saw Xin Mu and the others were about to kneel and sit back in embarrassment.

"...I wonder if you would like to go to the place where ghosts often appear?" The man took the embarrassment gently and calmly.

"Of course." Matt Kay stood up.

"It's best to go and see."

Uchiha Hijima did not choose to follow, he wanted to check to see if there was any barrier.

Xin Mu and the others all of a sudden increased their favorability for this man, and felt that this man was much stronger than that old man.

On the way to the backyard, the man didn't say anything.

"Excuse me, is it true that your father said that you were fainted by a ghost?"

"..." The man was suddenly embarrassed. Xin Mu's question made him want to find a crack in the ground and look around.

Seeing this appearance, Xin Mu and the others understood in their hearts.It's just that I didn't expect this man to be so timid at such an adult, or that this ghost is super scary.

After walking more than ten steps, the man suddenly opened his mouth to speak: "Yes, I was fainted by fright before, and I was woken up by the servants."

"???" Xin Mu didn't know why this man walked more than ten steps before saying.

"Oh, so you have seen this or that ghost with your own eyes?" Xin Mu became interested, "Tell me what it looks like?"

Although he asked, Xin Mu didn't expect the man to say anything, and he didn't say anything in the hall before, obviously because he was so frightened that he didn't even want to think about it.

The man indeed faltered again, without even saying a word.

Then the man remembered his father's cold, emotionless order to tell him all he knew.

So the heart broke, "That ghost is a man, wearing an ancient bun, his body is somewhat transparent, there is a hole in his heart that keeps bleeding out, and when the blood doesn't drop to the ground, it becomes the surrounding smoke, and there is a hole in his body. With a few short knives..."

Xin Mu was taken aback, this man didn't play his cards according to the routine, why did he start talking?

However, it’s okay to say it, and write it down carefully.

But remember that Xin Mu's faces became weird. This is too clear and detailed, even the depth of the wrinkles on the finger joints is clearly remembered.

Xin Mu and the others exchanged glances, and they marked this man with a high degree of attention.

"You remember it too clearly. It doesn't look like you fainted from shock at all. I remember that people who fainted from shock will more or less forget some details at that time, right? Xin Mu."

"Well." Xin Mu took over Maitekai's words, "Indeed, it is caused by the self-protection measures of the human brain. So why do you remember it so clearly?"

"Ah?" The man was at a loss after being interrupted, and then said with a smile: "I like drawing very much, and I also like to observe other things more."

Ying Hui asked: "But there are still many details in these places. It should take a lot of time. Could it be that you have been looking at that ghost? But didn't you faint from fright?"

The man smiled embarrassedly, "That night, I was indeed watching that ghost. The main reason was that I couldn't sleep because of certain things, so I got up and walked around. I originally planned to walk around in my room, after all At that time, someone had already said that they saw the ghost.

Then because I was thinking about something, I turned there without knowing it.

after……"

Having said that, the man unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva to suppress his shock.

"After that, I saw the ghost walking around, and I almost screamed out in fright. Fortunately, the ghost turned its back to me and didn't see it, so I hurried to hide."

Xin Mu interrupted the man's narration: "Why don't you go back?"

The man showed a forced smile in embarrassment: "At that time, my mind went blank and my legs were weak."

Xin Mu and the three of them: "..."

There is a good reason for being frightened and weak.

"When I was hiding, I watched the ghost wandering back and forth, so I began to observe. I was a little scared at first, but after watching it, I became fascinated..."

"Then you are fascinated, why are you still fainted?"

The man faltered again and sighed. "Oh, I found that the ghost was gone in the blink of an eye. Then I was nervous and subconsciously wondered where the ghost was?"

Well, Xin Mu can probably guess what will happen next.

"Then, as soon as I turned my head, a gust of cold air hit my face, and the ghost's face almost touched my nose, and I don't remember anything after that."

"Can you draw that ghost's face?" Xin Mu thought about what the man said before that he could draw.

The man shook his head, "I don't remember, I just remember a blur. But I did draw that ghost. Although my father tore it up, I still hid it."

"Why are you hiding one?"

"This... I don't know, maybe I want the people who come to investigate to see it with their own eyes." The man looked a little lonely, and it was obvious that his painting was torn and he was very shocked.

"Then why don't you take us to see the painting first?" Xin Mu suggested.

"Okay." Perhaps it was because someone wanted to see his paintings, and the man seemed very happy.

Sakurae flipped through the record of the situation at the time of the commission.

"By the way, there is one more thing. Why do you know so much, but when entrusting, you only said a few words."

"My father sent someone to carry out the commission, and my father treated me..." The man didn't know what to say about his father's feelings for him, so he could only skip it. "So maybe my father didn't remember much, and let the servants carry out the entrustment."

After Xin Mu decided to go back, he must make a complaint. This is almost a case of concealment and false reporting.

It would be better to increase the entrustment fee later.

Xin Mu hasn't forgotten that there is only a deposit for this entrustment, and the final fee has not yet been determined.

Although it's mainly because the commission doesn't know how to rate it.

"We're coming." The man who had just smiled gently changed his expression when he heard a movement.
