Nightmare Apostle

Chapter 39: Choose the lesser of two evils

After Liu had finished speaking, he left. After returning to the room, Su Tingting was still confused. According to Liu, she needed to wear Ximo's costumes, headdress, and makeup at night, and then stand on the stage to imitate Ximo's singing.

He said that this would attract Ximo's soul and let her possess her body, but... but would she still be able to survive?

"Brother Kuang, Mr. Chu, you guys should think of a way!" Su Tingting was almost crying. Now only these two people could save her.

Yang Xiao motioned Su Tingting to sit down first, and then advised earnestly: "Miss Su, I know you are anxious, but don't be anxious. Think about it from another angle. This may not be a bad thing."

Su Tingting stared at him suspiciously. She had already experienced how good Yang Xiao's acting was just now, and now she didn't believe a single punctuation mark in Yang Xiao's words.

Seeing that Yang Xiao couldn't scare her alone, Kuang Hongyi also joined the battle, "Miss Su, what Brother Chu said is true. Think about it, if you don't go to sing opera, what will you be sent to do?"

Yang Xiao shrugged and made a diving gesture to retrieve something. The next second, Su Tingting shuddered with fear.

"They...they will ask me to retrieve the body!"

"Not retrieve." Yang Xiao corrected, "It's to help Ximo close those eyes that never closed. Oh, I tell you, the body has been soaked in the water for 10 years. Tsk tsk...It's probably rotten a long time ago. It's hard to say whether the eyes can be found."

The horrible memory surged uncontrollably in her mind. Su Tingting remembered the ghost she saw in the reflection of the lake. The whole body was swollen and rotten. The moment the ghost turned to look at her, Su Tingting's heart stopped beating.

Choose the lesser of two evils. If you have to choose between singing opera and diving, then it's better to sing opera.

Seeing that Su Tingting accepted her fate, Yang Xiao and Kuang Hongyi finally felt relieved. After all, they were all operating as a team. If Su Tingting refused to go to the opera, then the three of them would have to go into the water together to retrieve the body. Oh no, it was to help Ximo close his eyes.

However, Su Tingting could not disagree. Yang Xiao had at least five ways to convince her. If soft methods didn't work, there was hard methods. If hard methods didn't work, there was Kuang Hongyi holding a candlestick.

After dealing with Su Tingting, Kuang Hongyi and Yang Xiao got together to study the clues they got from Master Feng, "Brother Chu, did you notice that when we mentioned the unborn child of the second young lady, Master Feng's attitude was very strange."

"It's really not right." Recalling the scene at that time, Yang Xiao's face showed doubts, "Master Feng seemed very sure that it would be a boy, and he was worried that we would continue to ask, so he hurriedly ended the conversation on the pretext of physical reasons."

Kuang Hongyi poured a cup of tea for Yang Xiao, and poured another cup for himself, slowly clenching the teacup, "It seems that the Feng family is very deep, Master Feng is still hiding something from us."

At this point, there are still things hidden from them. Yang Xiao really can't imagine how many bad things the Feng family has done.

As for what Master Feng said by Butler Liu, it was all arranged by Old Master Feng. They wanted to persuade him but couldn't. These are all nonsense. When the old master died, this matter had not started yet, and Xime was still alive and well. If they wanted to stop it, all this would not have happened at all.

What kind of ancient fragments were obtained by chance? Yang Xiao suspected that this evil magic was found by Master Feng with great effort. Master Feng might not know about this at all, and his body was just a tool for Master Feng to plant his happiness.

Three ancient sayings passed down, now the last two have their sources, only the first one, the first daughter should not marry out, is still unclear.

Yang Xiao and Kuang Hongyi put forward many hypotheses, but none of them fit completely, so they simply stopped guessing, and took turns to rest before night.

Originally, the plan for today was to go out of the house to find clues. Yang Xiao still had the address of the Yixuye in his hand, and he also had to visit the theater where the Bai family troupe had performed before, but the body of the third young master was still floating on the lake, and the weather was so creepy, so housekeeper Liu naturally refused to let them leave.

The sky outside was a little gloomier, and it was still raining. The dark clouds pressed lower, a scene before the end of the world, as if something terrible would happen soon.

The evil magic used by the Feng family is completely wrong. In their so-called happy years, they have suffered consecutive losses. According to Butler Liu, their business has also plummeted. As for where the problem lies, Yang Xiao has no idea.

In another room, Shi Guanming gently closed the window, turned around, with a trace of panic on his face, "Brother Shi, the weather outside is getting more and more scary." Shi Dali sat at the table, frowning slightly, "The thing in the lake is about to become a demon, and it is so resentful that it has attracted all the zombies in the water." "Then...what should we do tonight?" Shi Guanming was really scared. His calves cramped when he thought of that scene, "Do we really have to go into the water to close the eyes of the female ghost?" Shi Dali glanced at him with some annoyance, "Otherwise, do you think Kuang Hongyi and the others will go for us? Will they be so kind?" "No, what I mean is that it depends on what Su Tingting wants? Let her dress up as a ghost to sing a play, she will definitely not dare to go with her cowardly look." "She dares not to sing a ghost play, so she dares to go into the water to find a corpse?" Shi Dali couldn't understand Shi Guanming's brain circuit at all. If he didn't need him, he would have thrown him out long ago. After a while, Shi Dali calmed down his anxious mood and his attitude became much gentler.

"Brother Shi, think about it. Based on the personalities of Kuang Hongyi and Chu Xi, even if Su Tingting doesn't go, they have plenty of ways to force her to go. By the way, you have to be careful with Chu Xi. He is definitely not a newcomer. He must be an old player pretending to be one, just to let the others relax their vigilance."

After a pause, Shi Dali lowered his voice and said with some warning: "I suspect Kuang Hongyi and Chu Xi are in the same group. They knew each other before they came in. One of them was open and the other was secret. Xu Su was killed by them."

"He They are the same kind of people as Ke Long, I'm afraid... I'm afraid they will attack us soon. "

Hearing this, Shi Guanming became more nervous, "What should we do? And, Brother Shi, how did you see that?"

Shi Dali sneered in his heart. Shi Guanming was not stupid enough, but he had already thought of a pretext. A simple lie naturally couldn't fool anyone, but nine truths and one lie were hard to guard against. "Brother Shi, think carefully, did Kuang Hongyi ask Master Feng if he had a daughter?"

"Yes, that's right." Shi Guanming didn't understand.

"Then, what did Chu Xi say next? He joked that Master Feng was a playboy, and maybe he had a child outside and Butler Liu didn't know. "Shi Dali smiled mysteriously, "Don't you think it's strange that he dared to make such an inappropriate joke at the risk of offending Butler Liu?"
