I Wasn't Born Lucky

"Who? Who?!"

This laughter really made Mr. Hu's scalp tingle, he stood up suddenly from his chair and looked around.

But he never found the owner of the laughter in this old hotel. Mr. Hu grabbed Jiang Linwen in a panic and asked: "You heard it too, right? Who is laughing?"

Jiang Linwen was also flustered, but as a veteran, he was able to maintain his composure on the surface, and searched for the source of the sound with the rest of the reincarnations.

Except for some tables, chairs and benches, the lobby of the hotel can be called "desolate". The overhanging beams on the roof are very high, which makes the lobby look a bit empty. The surrounding windows are half-opened, and the breeze blows into the room with weird laughter. inside.

When everyone was quite panicked, Lin Ruo, who was still supporting the table, stood up, and a look of "it turned out to be true" appeared on her face.

Seeing this, Jiang Linwen, who had been watching her, quickly asked, "Miss, have you been here?"

Lin Ruodao: "No, no, but I have heard some rumors about Lingxi Mountain."

This is the clue mentioned in the opening CG.

Jiang Linwen's eyes lit up, and he asked, "What kind of rumor is it? Maybe it will help our current situation."

Lin Ruo looked at Mr. Hu, who gave him a glaring look: "Look at what I do, just say what you want."

"It's like this. There are often news recently that people who come to Lingxi Mountain will disappear mysteriously, or their lives and deaths are unknown, but there are still many companies coming here." I followed, and I just said it all at this moment, "Then I saw a post under the news, saying that I had heard about Lingxi Mountain before. This mountain is haunted, and inexplicable laughter can be heard at night , that is the sound made by the little ghost on the mountain when it meets its prey, if you continue to stay on the mountain, you will encounter even more weird things, and... there is a rumor in Lingxi Mountain."

Zheng Yi asked: "What rumor?"

Lin Ruo: "There used to be a village...in the depths of Lingxi Mountain, it was called Lingxi Village, but it has disappeared now because of the haunting, and all the villagers have died."

Jiang Linwen: "How did you die?"

Lin Ruo: "The person in the comment didn't go on, and I don't know the ending. I just think this rumor is terrible, because it means that there is a desolate dead village on the mountain."

Peng Yue, who was on the side, added: "Actually, in my opinion, those comments on the Internet have everything to say, and there are even more hilarious ones. There is no need to believe that ghosts and gods don't exist."

"Then how do you explain now?" Lin Ruo asked, pointing to the corpse below.

Peng Yue seemed to have her throat blocked by a wrist: "Maybe there is a murderer..."

She couldn't go on.

There are so many strangers on the opposite side, whether it is human or ghosts, it is very bad for them.

Jiang Linwen showed a look of disappointment. He originally thought that the rumors from the characters in the plot would be related to the hotel, but it was just a dead village, and it sounded like it had nothing to do with the reincarnation's main task of "identifying evil spirits".

The key task is to identify the incarnation of the evil spirit with clues.

"Hee hee hee, you are all going to die..." The voice haunted everyone's ears, "You will die a miserable death, stay here and be with me."

At the end, it laughed arrogantly again.

Lin Ruo boldly asked, "You, who are you?"

"I am...the witness of your death, hahahaha." The voice sounded like a female ghost, and it echoed ethereally in the hotel lobby. "It's so interesting to watch you struggle and howl."

Jiang Linwen frowned deeply, but at this time the owner of the voice did not attack the reincarnations, he wavered, and finally decided not to act rashly.

However, with the increase in the volume of laughter, everyone couldn't help covering their ears.

"Clap--"

In an instant, it seemed as if countless hands were pressing on the window from the outside, leaving one handprint after another on the glass.

Bright red blood was then left from above the handprint, rendering it a bloody handprint.

The ghosts surrounded the hotel, and the reincarnators in the room had nowhere to escape.

In the room, the blood under the back of Luo Yan's corpse had solidified, and the air was filled with an uncomfortable smell of blood.

"Hehehe," the ghost kept changing his laughter, "Catch a turtle in a jar, your human idiom...is that what you say?"

The windows of the hall were opened and closed by it from the outside world, and then closed and opened again, constantly switching, arousing everyone's nerves.

"What the hell is going on? It's really haunted..." Boss Hu's legs softened and he fell to the ground. He was about to lose control of his bladder, and said to Jiang Linwen, "I beg you, help, save Save me! If I have money, I will give you one hundred thousand after I get out."

Jiang Linwen stared at the surrounding windows in anticipation, ignoring Mr. Hu.

Lin Ruo and Peng Yue were also pale, and their teeth were chattering uncontrollably. They wanted to retreat, but they tripped over the corpse again.

The little girl who spoke before covered her ears and buried her face in the arms of the man beside her.

Her elder brother stared ahead and hugged his younger sister tighter.

Zheng Yi turned his head and subconsciously called Xiao Li: "Hull."

Xiao Li directly covered his mouth with his hand, and then closed his eyes. When he lost sight, his sense of hearing would become sharp. He tried to lock the source of the sound, and after listening for more than ten seconds, he raised his foot and walked to the rear right go.

"Oh, oh, it's interesting, a small human seems to have discovered my existence—" the laughing little ghost giggled, "What can you do if you find it? Why don't I just chop you up with a knife, You don't have to live with fear anymore."

Before Xiao Li could reach the window, another pair of hands pushed it away from outside the hotel.

Without the blocking of the glass, the scenery outside the window becomes extraordinarily clear.

The laughter came into the ears of everyone in the room more clearly, and Xiao Li looked at the laughing ghost face to face.

It was dark outside, and the flowers, plants and trees that looked beautiful during the day now looked like ghosts and ghosts, and the dry and fallen leaves were blown by the wind, spinning in circles in the air.

Standing outside the window is a white shadow, it, or half of her body is transparent, the whole face has no facial features, only a mouth, and sharp teeth grow wildly from that mouth.

"Giggle" laughter lingered in my ears.

Xiao Li propped his elbows against the window, and because of his movement, the red and black clothes with intersecting cuffs slipped off, revealing a wrist with distinct bones.

He said, "...don't laugh."

It's loud and ugly enough, like a rooster crowing.

The ghostly laugh became louder, she grinned at Xiao Li: "Hehehe——"

Xiao Li spread out the small yellow book and wrote a name on it with a water pen.

Then the female ghost on the opposite side suddenly stopped.

——Because behind her, farther away, there was a faint cry.

"Woo, woo, woo."

The laughing ghost froze for a moment, and the laughter was interrupted.

The crying sound was getting closer and closer to her like life, and then a strong force grabbed her hair from behind, and her whole face twisted.

But she still had to laugh.

"Hee hee hee - woo."

... laughing and crying.

The weeping woman grabbed the Laughing Ghost's hair forcefully from behind and wrapped the long lock of hair around her hands, forcing him to bend back and try to cut off his hair with sharp nails.

Her own hair hasn't recovered yet, it's still ugly with long and short hair, and a bald spot can be faintly seen while moving.

Xiao Li was inexplicably guilty.

The weeping woman tortured the laughing ghost's hair with her nails for a while, then she raised her head and stretched out her hand towards Xiao Li.

... and know that you need a sharp weapon.

Xiao Li couldn't bear to look directly and covered his eyes, put away the little yellow book that summoned the opponent, slipped out the scalpel from the sleeve tube, and handed it to the opponent.

The laughing ghost squeezed out a roar that was close to crying, but he still couldn't break free from the weeping woman's hand.

This time the crying woman became more energetic. Amidst the crying of the laughing ghost, she excitedly used the scalpel to cut the other party's hair.

Just looking at the action, it was even wilder than Xiao Li's back then, full of pain and anger that had nowhere to vent.

In just a short while, she had almost shaved off most of the Laughing Ghost's hair, revealing a little bit of her bald head.

Xiao Li: "..."

In order to prevent one of the weird stories, the crying woman, from coming to trouble him, he didn't bother the other party's wish to change careers and become a barber.

He stood up straight, closed the window, turned around and said, "It's all right, go back to sleep."

Xiao Li walked towards the stairs as usual, and when he passed by the little girl, he reached out and patted her head.

Just as Xiao Li was speaking, there was a faint cry from outside the closed window: "...Wow!"

...The big sister in the back, please don't cut it anymore!She can't laugh anymore!

Not only do I not want to laugh, but I even want to cry!

Hearing the crowd crying and laughing outside:? ? ?

——What's the situation, they saw that ghost outside seemed to be... forcibly getting a haircut?But why is the other party crying?

The little girl's brother looked at him in horror: "You..."

Xiao Li didn't care about other people's plans, he turned a corner, picked up the purple umbrella on the table, and walked upstairs to the hotel.

And Jiang Linwen stared closely at Xiao Li's back, he wanted to go to the window to have a real look, but he didn't dare to look at the ghost seriously, for fear that it was a trap.

But... the only one who can make ghosts stop laughing and even cry instead is the evil ghost in the mission prompt, right?

But isn't it really a trap for such an arrogant and obvious evil ghost?

Jiang Linwen, who didn't read the forum very much, fell into deep thought.

In the midst of panic, only Ye Zeqing calmed down because he caught a glimpse of the scene outside the window - a crying woman appeared, and that evil spirit was definitely not Xiao Li.
