I Wasn't Born Lucky

The arrival of daylight did not blow away the haze of last night. When everyone gathered downstairs in the hall, they had heavy dark circles under their eyelids. Obviously, no one could sleep well in this environment.

What's more, I don't know what's wrong with the weather. It's like being bewitched. It has been drizzling since the morning.

The rain in Lingxi Mountain is different from the torrential rain that comes and goes in a hurry. It is dense and dense, like continuous needles and threads. Looking from the hotel window, it looks like a green picture of the south of the Yangtze River, with misty rain everywhere.

Mr. Hu almost stayed up all night. He took other people from the company to the hotel lobby early in the morning, trying to find the hotel owner to ask him how to get out, but he was shocked when he saw the corpse just after he left the room.

The corpse that was originally on the ground seemed to have been dragged at this time, and the blood splashed from the back of the head due to the impact drew a long trace on the ground.

Mr. Hu was still in shock, someone stood behind him and said:

"Someone moved the body?"

When Mr. Hu turned his head, he happened to meet Jiang Linwen's gaze.

The other party's eyes were full of defense, and Mr. Hu felt apprehensive. He stammered, "I don't know. I saw this as soon as I came out. Don't you have to ask your people?"

Mr. Hu asked himself and his employees that this was the first time they encountered a ghost, and they were so scared to death, how could they have the guts to move the corpse in the middle of the night when no one was around.

Jiang Linwen stopped talking. Now the internal divisions among the reincarnated people are quite big. Except for the team members they have known for a long time, almost no one is forming a group, let alone asking about this kind of thing-if they ask, they will not say it.

He used to be the "big brother" in the team, and he was used to leading reincarnated people. When he met this dungeon, he had a lot of thoughts in his heart. Ruo et al. can't escape suspicion.

Mr. Hu: "Why don't you call those people out and ask?"

He didn't quite believe in the haunting theory at first, but after the weird laughter and bloody handprints came out yesterday, he believed it seventy percent, and now he just feels scared——who would run to the hall to move a corpse without sleeping at night?

Jiang Linwen: "... that's fine."

It was daytime now, and according to the mission, the evil spirit would kill the next time at night, so he didn't refuse, and went to knock on the door of the reincarnation with Mr. Hu and others.

Even if there were uncooperative partners, as the number of other people increased, they chose to go downstairs.

But the rest of them all answered in unison that they had never come down to carry the corpse:

"What am I doing with that thing?"

Jiang Linwen: "Then those of you who live near the stairs, did you hear anyone going downstairs in the middle of the night?"

"No, nothing happened." The bald man who lived closest to the stairs on the first floor said, "I almost didn't dare to sleep last night, just listening to the sound, I didn't hear anything."

"Wei Ning, think about it again?" Mr. Hu asked.

Wei Ning, a bald man, said, "No, Mr. Hu, can't you believe my memory?"

Judging from Wei Ning's expression, his answer doesn't look like a fake.

Who would move the corpse?

Could it be the hotel owner...?He hasn't shown up since last night, and the reincarnators have searched all over the hotel but can't find him and the chef.

Xiao Li squatted down next to the corpse, picked up one of its hands, put it back, and said suddenly: "No one else moved it."

Jiang Linwen, who had been observing him, immediately asked, "What do you mean?"

Xiao Li stood up straight: "Looking at the bloodstains, if it was dragged, it should be a scratch, but now there are gaps between the bloodstains on the ground, some are deep and some are shallow, it looks more like he crawled by himself."

Mr. Hu was astonished and said: "But he is already dead. Could it be that he was not dead last night?"

"Impossible," said a dark-skinned samsara, "I've checked it, and I've died a long time ago."

Jiang Linwen looked at the mottled blood on the ground.

If it is really what Xiao Li said, then the answer is only...

In the middle of the night when they all left, the corpse killed by the evil spirits moved by itself.

Now it is close to the stairs, if it continues, maybe it will walk up the stairs by itself...

Jiang Linwen clenched his fists because of his association, and he turned to the reincarnated people: "Now we can't find the hotel owner, let's put the corpse in a place first, who will come with me?"

Ye Zeqing went out, and together with Jiang Linwen, they locked the corpse in a storage room at the back of the hotel.

When he closed the door of the storage room tightly, he looked up at the sky outside. Even in the daytime, it was still such a gray and cloudy sky, which gave people a bad feeling.

The hotel became more and more weird as time went by. They had to speed up the time to find the incarnation of the evil spirit, but now there was no clue, only a tiptoe walking.

Generally, the one who walks like this should be a girl, as light as a cat, without causing any movement.

Now the women in the hotel are serious suspects...

And what does it mean to close your eyes in the mission prompt?He was lying in bed last night thinking with his eyes closed, but he still couldn't think of anything.

Jiang Linwen sighed deeply.

On the other side, Xiao Li stood at the hotel gate. He held up his purple umbrella and walked into the rain.

When he took the first step, Ye Zeqing happened to come back from the storage room where the corpses were stored, seeing this, he hurriedly followed up in three steps.

Needless to say, Zheng Yi had already consciously followed behind him.

Xiao Li glanced at them, but did not stop them.

The umbrellas that Zheng Yi and the others are holding are the umbrellas that they took out from under the drawer at the front desk of the hotel. It is different from the simple style of purple umbrellas, and they are two small flowery umbrellas with gaudy features.

The rain on the far horizon formed a line, dyeing the greenery all over the mountain.

Zheng Yi: "What are you doing out there?"

Xiao Li: "Do side missions."

"There are side missions here? What mission?"

Xiao Li shook the Eternal Soul Umbrella in his hand: "It was drawn by a lottery, and there is a seal on it, which can be lifted in this world."

Zheng Yi: "Damn, this kind of thing is usually a magic weapon, why haven't you seen it used before?"

Ye Zeqing also sighed: "The bread I usually win in the lottery is inedible bread, and the best one is a one-time life-saving item. What kind of luck are you doing?"

Zheng Yi really wanted to answer Ye Zeqing, "This is what happened to Mo Chui, who made Sherlock the Emperor of Europe?", but he didn't want to embarrass Xiao Li face to face, so he held back.

Xiao Li paused, then answered Zheng Yi's question: "...It's been used before, but you haven't seen it."

Zheng Yi asked curiously: "What is the function of this umbrella?"

He has imagined many ways to use the umbrella, such as combining it to shoot bullets from the head of the umbrella, or to be realistic and to isolate an absolute field.

Xiao Li glanced at him, as if he was wondering about his question: "Cover the rain."

Zheng Yi: "..."

No problem.

In Xiao Li's hands, the umbrella only served as a shelter from the rain.

...and maybe cover the shower head for the little black cat?

In short, it is a very back-to-basic (violent) usage.

Zheng Yi clutched his arm, the side was completely drenched by the drizzle, he said, "Then where shall we go to unseal it?"

Xiao Li: "Dongfang, I don't know where it is. There should be a reminder when we arrive."

He thought for a while, and then added: "The weather is bad, you can go back first, I didn't arrive after walking for a quarter of an hour last night, it should be quite far."

They bypassed the big rock ahead, stepped on the dirt, and headed east.

Zheng Yi shook his head violently: "I don't want to stay in that hotel anymore, it gives me a very depressing feeling inside, although the outside is not very good, but it's better to follow you."

The important thing is to feel safe.

The group of them continued to move forward. When they passed a large forest, Zheng Yi stopped suddenly. He pointed to the depths of the forest in front of him: "Do you see any figures in front of you?"

The branches of the big tree in front were deeply inserted into the soil, and several black shadows walked into the depths like ghosts and ghosts, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Zheng Yi thought it was his hallucination, but then he heard Xiao Li say: "It's the two people who live on the third floor."

I don't know the name.

Ye Zeqing: "What are they doing here?"

Xiao Li: "Maybe come out and let the wind go."

In normal times, Xiao Li might still follow up to have a look, but now due to some kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder, he is going to complete his side mission first.

After about half an hour, walking out of the woods, they saw a village.

A small village surrounded by a wooden fence, overgrown with wild grass, which is as tall as half a person.

Xiao Li immediately thought of the dead village Lingxi Village that Lin Ruo had mentioned, but the wild grass was lush outside the village in front of him, but the village was peaceful, and it didn't look like no one lived there.

At this moment, Xiao Huang was shocked: [Sub-question: Complete what she wants, and you can get what you want. 】

she……?

Xiao Li put the little yellow book back, and walked into the village holding an umbrella.

As soon as he walked in, he realized that something was wrong - because there were obvious signs of people's activities inside, and there were quite a few people.

But after Xiao Li saw the faces of the villagers, he secretly corrected his statement because——

The villagers put a towel on their shoulders and looked at the crops with umbrellas; the peasant women stood under the eaves, holding their rice bowls and watching the strangers, and these were invisible from outside the village.

What's even more frightening is that the villagers' faces were drooping in the air, dripping with pus, while some of the peasant women's chests were hollowed out, and some were completely skeletons.

one**?

Xiao Li held the umbrella and looked at each other without changing his expression.

Ye Zeqing said "Huh?" and whispered in doubt: "The people here look normal, but they have a strong ghostly aura, so they shouldn't be alive."

Xiao Li slowed down his pace: "...the 'them' you saw were normal people?"

Ye Zeqing: "Yes, ordinary people, what you see is different from us?"

Xiao Li: "It should be because of this umbrella, I saw them as they were after death."

Ye Zeqing looked at the surrounding villagers in horror, so many ghosts...

He looked at Xiao Li's calm look again, and couldn't help but lament the other party's strong psychological quality, as expected of Moriarty and Hercule!

Double ox fork.

Xiao Li walked into the village, analyzing as he walked: "Well, it seems that most of the people in this village were eaten by...? Most of them are only skeletons left, wow, this family is so miserable, they were eaten up .”

Ye Zeqing: "..."

cause discomfort.

Xiao Li turned around a farmhouse, and across the door, an old lady with white hair and a fairly intact head grabbed Xiao Li's wrist: "Jinjin, why are you standing with outsiders? You want your husband to see you?" Come on, don’t you want to be beaten again?”

Xiao Li:? ? ?

Husband?

At this moment, he felt the little Huang Ben in his pocket tremble. He put one hand in his pocket without noticing, and looked at the old lady: "Jinjin...?"

One of the old lady's eyeballs fell off, she didn't see Xiao Li's abnormal state, and continued to him: "Go back quickly, come, I have half a steamed bun here, fill it up, look at how skinny you are. Hey, I think you are also pitiful, why did you find this family?"

Xiao Li grabbed her wrist instead: "Wait, old lady, who is 'I'?"

Old lady: "Jinjin?"

Xiao Li put down his hands: "Sorry, I—"

Before he could finish his sentence, a man approached menacingly from a farmer's house on the right. He looked the most vicious and complete among the group of peasants, but his tongue was very long and sticking out. Like a hanged ghost.

The strange man grabbed Xiao Li and said impatiently: "I just told you where you went, why don't you cook? If you don't cook, I'll tell you, you don't eat at night!"

Xiao Li shook off his hand calmly, and called him tentatively: "...Old..."

——He couldn't say the word "public" anyway.

Little Yellow Ben turns on the vibration mode.

The man frowned, looking very disgusted. He didn't look at Xiao Li, but turned to look at Ye Zeqing and the others, and said with a sneer, "Are these friends from your city? They're all pretty faces. Pooh!" .”

Zheng Yi: "..."

Ye Zeqing: "..."

Xiao Li gestured to them, several guesses floated in his mind, and he said following the other party's words: "Yes, they are my friends."

The man didn't show any face, rolled his eyes and said: "Let them go quickly, what kind of friends are they looking for to see you? Do you regret marrying here at the beginning? Let me tell you, Xu Jin, you married me voluntarily, why don't you hurry up and do it?" Rice, want to starve us to death?"

Xiao Li: "..."

Just wanted to beat someone up.

The man walked back to the brick house and shouted to Xiao Li from a distance: "Hurry up!"

The old lady behind him sighed: "You sinner, Jinjin, you should do as he said, so you can save yourself a beating."

She returned to the house on crutches.

Zheng Yi pointed to that room: "What's going on?"

"This umbrella triggered a side plot." Xiao Li tried to guess, "The owner of the umbrella should be Jinjin. I was holding the umbrella, and they thought I was Jinjin. They didn't know that they were dead..."

Then he muttered to himself: "The Eternal Soul Umbrella, does it mean that the souls of the villagers are trapped here forever?"

Zheng Yi: "Judging from the conversation just now, it's been a very unhappy time."

Not only is he unhappy, he is simply without status, like a cooking machine.

According to the information disclosed by Xu Jin's husband, Xu Jin should be a girl from the city with a wealthy family. I don't know why she was blinded by love and married this man. After marrying, her status is low. She not only has to cook, wash clothes and serve him , had to endure his ridicule.

If this is the case, then as the owner of the Eternal Soul Umbrella, what did Xu Jin want to do by letting him see this scene?

To avenge her?

Xiao Li: "You guys wait here for a while, I'll go in and have a look."

He walked into Xu Jin's house and found that it was a rather simple farm house with brick furniture and a bed covered with only a layer of straw without anything.

In stark contrast to this bedroom is another house, with thick quilts on the kang, it seems that Xu Jin's husband lives in it.

When Xiao Li came in, the man was sitting on the rattan chair with his feet up: "Aren't you going to cook?"

Xiao Li held an umbrella even when he was inside the house. He looked at the other party condescendingly, and said slowly, "I think it's better for you to cook."

The man's movements stopped suddenly, as if pressing the pause button, his face showed an unbelievable look: "What did you say?"

Xiao Li repeated it expressionlessly: "If you want to eat, you can do it yourself."

It took a full five seconds for the man to react. He jumped up from the chair directly: "Xu Jin, what the hell are you talking about?! I knew, your daughter, you can't bear the pain, right? You swore at the beginning You just told me that you only love me and you want to serve me for the rest of your life, but you can't bear it now?!"

Xiao Li stood there: "...how did I tell you back then?"

The man sneered and said, "It's just 'I love you, I want to take care of you for the rest of my life, no matter what your home looks like, I'm willing to come', now you want to go back? There are two men at the door, why don't you Follow them?"

Xiao Li said in a low voice: "...I don't know why Xu Jin would like someone like you."

Man: "What did you say?!"

He obviously heard it, but he couldn't understand the meaning of Xiao Li's words, he just felt that Xu Jin was insulting him.

So he rolled up his sleeves, swung the rolling pin beside him, and hit Xiao Li.

Xiao Li didn't move at all, the puppet's hair stretched infinitely, spreading out along his pocket, tightly tied him upright, and blocked his mouth by the way.

The rolling pin fell to the ground with a "click".

The man was tied in place, his eyes revealing indescribable horror: "Huh huh?!"

The puppet crawled out and turned into a girl wearing a thick coat. She stared at him with blank eyes, and strangled the man even tighter.

The man struggled violently, but this action caused the hair to wrap more tightly into his flesh.

Xiao Li picked up the rolling pin on the ground, weighed it in his hand, and with a little strength, hit the man——

He didn't use much force, the stick hit Xu Jin's husband's arm, just after the first hit, the scene in front of Xiao Li changed like water ripples.

…………

In the next second, the inside of the brick house changed.

It was still Xu Jin's husband, standing by the table with broken bowls on the ground.

"You keep saying you love me, but what's the result? You can't even cook a dish, are you still a woman?" the man said with spit.

Now Xiao Li has a guess about this side mission - is he going to make up for Xu Jin's choice?

This time he didn't fight back directly, he kept holding on to the umbrella in his hand, and took a step back to avoid the opponent's saliva.

The man vented his emotions: "I still want to ask me for money to buy a mirror. What kind of mirror do you want? I thought your family was rich, but in the end your parents severed ties with you, and you couldn't get any money. What a loss." Yes, others still have a dowry!"

Xiao Li didn't say anything until the man felt his mouth was dry, then he kicked the broken porcelain cursingly and went back to his room to sleep.

According to the layout of the bedroom, Xu Jin should be sleeping in a pile of straw.

Xiao Li turned the handle of the umbrella in his hand, he came outside the house, looked up at the moonlight above his head.

Xiao Li said to the umbrella: "I think it's faster for you to get a divorce directly, why bother?"

And behind him, in Xu Jin's husband's bedroom, Zhou Ying stood by his bedside.

The pale little boy bent over under the moonlight, staring closely at the sleeping man on the bed.

Xu Jin's husband was sleeping soundly. He only felt his nose itch, as if something had landed on it.

He rubbed his nose several times, but it was useless. In the end, he could only resist sleepiness and open his eyes to see if a mosquito had landed on the tip of his nose. A pair of gray pupils looked at each other.

It was a child. His pale face and blue lips all revealed his identity. He was not a human, but a ghost.

And this ghost child has been standing by his bedside, watching him, waiting for him to wake up!

The ghost boy turned his head and smiled at him: "Come and play a game with me...?"

Husband Xu Jin: "Ahhhh—"

He jumped up like crazy, and rolled down from the end of the bed: "Go away, go away!"

Xu Jin's husband wanted to rush out of the room, but a strand of long hair hung from the roof, firmly blocking the door and blocking his way of escape.

The little boy approached him: "This game, if you lose, you will die."

Screams pierced the silence.

…………

Once again the illusion was shattered, and Xiao Li returned to reality.

In reality, a circle of straw rope is hung on the beam of the roof of the brick house, and a person's neck is hung on the straw rope.

Looking at the facial features, it is Xu Jin's husband.

It's just that now he is no longer a living person, but has returned to his appearance when he died, with a pale face and was hung on the straw rope, becoming a hanged ghost.

——This is what the whole Lingxi Village really looks like.

Just as Xiao Li raised his head to look at him, the hanged ghost on the hanging beam suddenly got up automatically without any wind, his legs swung back and forth regularly, and then his whole body sank, as if he wanted to clamp Xiao Li directly. Chestnut's head.

There was a trace of resentment in the eyes of the hanged ghost, and it was mixed with joy because of the picture of the person in front of him being clamped and killed by him——

But in the next second, Xiao Li bent down and moved nimbly to avoid being pinched by the hanged ghost's feet.

Not only that, a figure appeared in his original seat.

It was tall and covered with a layer of black slime. It used to have two heads, but because of Bloody Mary, only one head remained. It was the ghoul.

And the feet of the hanged ghost happened to clamp the only remaining head of the ghoul.

The hanged ghost: ".........??"

Wait, why does it seem that the width of the clipped object is different from what he thought——

The ghoul's eyeless pupils flashed, and it looked up coldly. With icy anger, it grabbed the hanged ghost's feet with both hands, and pulled it down from the hanging beam forcefully. down.

Then the ghoul-carrying ghost turned its head 180 degrees and looked at Xiao Li.

Xiao Li waved at it: "The food reserves I gave you, eat cleanly, you're welcome."

Ghoul-Backing Ghost: "..."

It thought about it and didn't want to say thank you, did it?
