"I'll leave Ms. Yvette to Chongyun. Let's see what's in the room, shall we?"

Hu Tao called Lin Ze and Paimeng and walked into the room first. The light was dim when they entered. When they turned on the light, they saw that the room was covered with wooden floors and the surrounding decorations looked quite old.

The room looks big but not empty because there are many bookshelves placed around the room, and next to these bookshelves are several sofas, coffee tables and various small ornaments. The overall look gives people a comfortable and warm feeling and looks very beautiful.

But unfortunately, there is a thick layer of dust on these things, and it seems that no one has cleaned them for a long time.

"It seems that Ms. Yvette is a person who is very particular about life. Although this house is a bit old, she has taken good care of it and it has a sense of life."

"It's just that she hasn't been back for a long time."

Paimon looked around. She flew to the bookshelf and looked at the books on it curiously.

Lin Ze walked around the living room twice and didn't see anything unusual.

"Go ahead and see if there are any good friends living here?"

Walnut released the little ghost and left it alone.

"Well, there's nothing to find here. It's just an ordinary room. How about we go upstairs and take a look?"

Lin Ze came out of the kitchen and saw Hu Tao sitting on the sofa, reading a book with great interest.

"Oh, why don't I have this good thing?"

Kurumi muttered as she flipped through the book in her hands.

Seeing her sighing and then clicking her tongue in amazement, Lin Ze became curious about the book in Hu Tao's hand.

The same is true for Paimon.

"What are you looking at? Come and let me see it!"

Curious Paimon flew to Walnut's side. She leaned her head over and saw the contents of Walnut's book. It turned out to be a comic book. There was a high school boy drawn on the part that Walnut was reading.

One day, this high school boy picked up a notebook with a few words written on it.

【Article 1】

[The person whose name is written in the notebook will die.]

The high school boy thought the notebook was a prank, so he conducted the experiment on a kidnapper seen in a TV report.

40 seconds later, the kidnapper suddenly died of a heart attack.

"Ouch! How scary!"

Seeing this, Paimon was shocked.

Hu Tao heard the noise and looked up. After seeing Paimon's reaction, he immediately laughed out loud: "Hahaha, don't be afraid. How can there be such a thing in the world?"

"If there really is, then people like Wangsheng Hall who are responsible for maintaining the boundary between life and death will probably be very busy."

As she spoke, she put the book on the table. Lin Ze took a look and saw four big words written on it.

"Death Note"

"I didn't expect you, Kurumi, would be interested in this kind of comics?"

Lin Ze was a little surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed reasonable that the head of the Wangsheng Hall, who was in the funeral industry, liked to read the Death Note.

"Well, I'm just joking. If the Death Note really existed, and there were a few people like Light Yagami who judged the life and death of others according to their own rules, it would bring a lot of customers to the Hall of Rebirth. However, the boundary between life and death is blurred at will. When someone with the ability to change the world thinks he is a god and judges others, the world will be in chaos."

After Kurumi finished speaking, he stood up, picked up the comic book and put it back on the bookshelf.

call out!

The little ghost flew over from upstairs, swaying left and right and gesturing to them.

"Hmm~Hmm! Oh my! That's how it is."

Walnut looked at the little ghost, sighing from time to time, and then showing great surprise.

"What did you find, Kurumi?"

Paimon asked.

"It seems that Ms. Yvette really did not lie. There is indeed a ghost here."

"what!"

Lin Ze was stunned when he heard this, and Paimeng even screamed in fright.

"Upstairs?"

"Yeah." Walnut nodded: "You and Paimon can go up and take a look. I have some questions I want to ask Yvette first."

After she finished speaking, she walked out the door.

"Woo, traveler."

"It's okay Paimon, if you're scared, just hide behind me."

Lin Ze stood in front of Paimon and walked up the stairs.

The wooden stairs creaked loudly and sounded creepy.

Lin Ze stepped on it, taking one step at a time, and slowly walked upstairs.

His face was very solemn, and he could clearly feel his body getting colder and colder, the cold seeping from his skin to his bones.

At the end of the stairs, he stopped.

As far as the eye could see, there was nothing, but Lin Ze could sense something was wrong.

wrong!

The temperature is wrong!

He immediately opened his elemental vision.

The next second, Lin Ze's eyes widened immediately.

this! ! !

"Yvette, I want to ask you a question. After your husband disappeared, have you not lived in this house for a long time?"

Walnut asked as she looked at the woman who had just woken up.

Yvette heard the voice and looked up.

\"you!\"

When she saw Hu Tao in front of her, her pupils widened instantly. She remembered the scene she had just seen, and her eyes rolled back, and she was about to faint again.

"Wait, wait! Don't faint yet, do you still want to find Simon?"

Walnut's words gave Yvette some courage. She took a deep breath, swallowed, and tried to calm down. Then she remembered to respond to Walnut's question.

"That's right. After Simon disappeared, I didn't believe the FBI's findings, so I went to the city to look for him, but to no avail."

"This house is full of memories of Simon and me. At first I thought he would come back, but hope piled up and turned into disappointment in the end."

Yvette said slowly, "In order to find someone more easily, I rented a basement in the city and found a lot of part-time jobs. I worked while looking for Simon. This went on for five years."

Chongyun had a question at this time: "Then why did you decide to come back?"

Yvette looked a little embarrassed: "It's because of one person. He treated me very well. It's not because I still have Simon's shadow in my heart. He took care of me everywhere."

"Over the past few years, he has always been by my side, accompanying me in my pursuit of one vague clue after another, and experiencing failure after failure. He has always been with me through my most painful days."

"He proposed to me a few days ago."

After she finished speaking, she lowered her head.

"I know I haven't let go of Simon, but the appearance of this man disturbed my heart, so I wanted to come back here and say goodbye to the past formally."

Yvette wiped her tears and said slowly, "He is the landlord who sold this house to Simon and me as I told you before."

"landlord?"

Chongyun recalled and realized that there was indeed such a person.

"Yes, his name is Cook Rodney. Maybe it's because Simon disappeared after he moved into this house. Rodney felt sorry for me because I was alone. So after he met me in the city, he wanted to help me."

"After a while, we developed feelings for each other."

Yvette sighed, "I know that in your eyes, I must be a hateful woman. My husband is just missing, and there is no news of his death. But after 5 years, I actually want to turn to someone else's arms."

"But the endless search makes me lose hope. People have to live."

"Maybe, maybe it was because of my thoughts that Simon chose to treat me like that after he came back. He...he must hate me!"

Yvette said as tears started to fall again.

She raised her hand and covered her mouth with sobs.

"No! You are wrong!"

Lin Ze Paimon walked out of the house. He looked at the crying Yvette and said firmly, "Your husband has never hated you. On the contrary, he loves you very much and wants to protect you. That's why you often hear his voice after you come back."

Yvette raised her head in shock: "How did you know!"

"Where is Mr. Rodney, the landlord you mentioned? Why didn't he accompany you when you had such a big incident?"

Lin Ze did not directly answer Yvette's question, but asked another question.

Yvette blushed: "I...he...I didn't tell Rodney that I came back."

"I just wanted to say goodbye to Simon quietly, so the last time I came back, I only stayed here for half a day and then went back to the city. But since that day, I can hear Simon's voice."

Lin Ze and Hu Tao looked at each other, and Hu Tao nodded.

She said to Yvette:

"Everything you heard was your husband trying to remind you to be careful!"

"Ms. Yvette, let me tell you now, Mr. Rodney, the man you like, is not a good person!"

"Please call the police now!"
