"What should we do next? Can we just stay here?"

Zhang Chunxue looked at Xia Qi and asked uncertainly.

"Since Officer Xia said that the villa is haunted and many people have been replaced, wouldn't it be a trap if we go back? So we must stay here, but I think it is safer to stay in the police station. "

Liu Changmei's idea is very simple, that is, anywhere is safe unless she returns to the villa.

Zhang Chunxue seemed to have no idea about this matter, while Xia Qi didn't answer her, lowering his head and thinking about something.

Xia Qi was thinking about the question Zhang Chunxue just asked him. Should they stay here forever or return to the villa.

Speaking of which, this incident was only his private work, so it didn't matter whether it was completed or not, and the conditions for completion did not seem to include ensuring that Zhang Chunxue and the others survived.

So he needs to think carefully about what will happen if they stay here and what will happen if they go back.

"Can you check the names now to see if anyone has been replaced?"

After hearing Xia Qi's instructions, Liu Changmei and Zhang Chunxue hurriedly checked the names of the people, and found that except for the two of them, the one who had not been replaced yet was Wang Bin.

In other words, Wang Bin is staying in the villa with a group of ghosts.

"Only one Wang Bin is left."

Zhang Chunxue once again felt the terrifying fear that made her hair stand on end.

"Um."

After hearing this, Xia Qi nodded symbolically, and then began to think deeply.

Of the 9 people, only 3 are left now, and the other 6 are undoubtedly ghosts.

According to normal logic, as long as the six ghosts in the villa are killed, the incident will be completed. However, the root cause of the incident was not with those six ghosts, because they did not exist originally.

In other words, they are all substitutes for the 9 people. If there are 10 people, then the number of ghosts is 10, and if there are 20 people, then the number of ghosts is 20.

Therefore, the focus of the problem is no longer on the number of ghosts, but on why these ghosts appear. If he does not solve this problem, then even if he has the ability to eliminate the 6 ghosts in the villa, he still will not be able to solve this incident. .

So thinking clearly about where the root of the problem lies is the key to solving this incident.

Realizing this, Xia Qi no longer thought about anything and decided on the spot:

"Now let's go back to the villa."

"Officer Xia, you...what did you just say?"

After hearing this, Liu Changmei opened her eyes in disbelief, as if she didn't believe what she just heard was true.

"I said we should go back to the villa now."

"Why? Isn't there a ghost in that villa? If we go back now, we are falling into a trap. They are eager for us to go back!"

Although the question of where to go next was raised by Zhang Chunxue, looking at her frightened look, she obviously didn't want to go back to the villa. After all, she was the one who persuaded Liu Changmei to escape.

"I will protect you and never let anything happen to you. I need to find the root cause of this incident. Only in this way can I truly relieve your troubles."

"Can't it be solved here? Do you have to let us go with you?"

Liu Changmei began to question Xia Qi's ability, and even Zhang Chunxue moved her eyes frequently, as if thinking about something.

"The target of the ghost is that you are not me." Xia Qi's expression turned cold and he said in a somewhat solemn tone:

"It's your own business to survive. If I don't care about your life or death, why would I have to go here in the heavy rain and talk to you so much?"

"No matter what you say, I won't go back!"

Liu Changmei said decisively.

"Are you trying to trick us back? You are actually in the same group, right?"

Zhang Chunxue pulled Liu Changmei back a few steps, with the intention of turning around and running away.

Just hearing Zhang Chunxue's suspicion, Xia Qi couldn't help laughing:

"Have you ever heard that ghosts can reason with people?"

Neither Zhang Chunxue nor Liu Changmei said anything, but Xia Qi had no choice but to use his trump card:

"Okay, then I'll prove my strength to you, but don't be afraid after seeing it."

Saying that, Xia Tian Qi used some of the ghost energy generated in his body after he had strengthened [Special Ghost Enhancement] to level 7, and used these ghost energy to transform his limbs into ghosts.

Seeing that Xia Xia Qi's limbs suddenly grew in size, and there was a black-red luster flowing on them, Zhang Chunxue and Liu Changmei both shrank their pupils and shouted to escape, but how could Xia Xia Qi let them escape? The ghost baby's teleportation ability appeared directly in front of the door, and then it opened its two arms and returned to normal.

"Now you should believe what I say. If I want to hurt you, I can kill you now. Why bother to trick you into returning to the villa?"

Seeing Xia Qi change back to his previous appearance, and hearing what Xia Qi said, Zhang Chunxue and Liu Changmei calmed down a little. In fact, Xia Qi was blocking the door, and they couldn't escape even if they wanted to. .

"You...what the hell..."

"Of course I'm a human, not a ghost. Are there any ghosts as handsome as me?"

Liu Changmei and Zhang Chunxue were a little confused by Xia Qi's joke, but when they saw him smiling, they were not as scared as before.

"Since you are so powerful, why don't you go back and get rid of those ghosts yourself instead of dragging us back together?"

"I have answered this question before, because getting rid of those ghosts in the villa will not completely eliminate your troubles. At best, it will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause."

Although Xia Qi has explained it twice, looking at the expressions on Zhang Chunxue and Liu Changmei's faces, they still didn't understand. Xia Qi didn't have the patience to explain it to them for the third time, so he said directly:

"Anyway, if you want to live a good life in the future and no longer be haunted by ghosts, just follow me back to the villa honestly. I will keep you safe."

"Then can you just go back alone? I'm very timid."

Seeing that Xia Xia Qi had made up her mind, Liu Changmei first glanced at Zhang Chunxue guiltily, and then she said to Xia Qi:

"Why don't you take Xiaoxue back? Anyway, it's the same if you go alone or two people. I have been particularly afraid of ghosts since I was a child. Even listening to a ghost story will give me nightmares for several days."

"This matter is non-negotiable. You two have to go back with me."

Xia Xia Qi said this to death, leaving no room for Liu Changmei to bargain.

The two of them lingered timidly for a while, then reluctantly followed Xia Qi and left the hotel.
