I Wasn't Born Lucky

The ghoul-carrying ghost quickly left with the hanged ghost, leaving only the grass rope dangling on the hanging beam in the dilapidated brick house.

Zheng Yi's deliberately lowered voice came from the door: "Hull?"

Xiao Li was still holding the umbrella, he turned around and came to the door, only to see that the outside of the house was no longer what it was when they came here.

The villagers who were enjoying the shade or walking outside had disappeared, and there was no other sound in the whole village except for the voices of the three of them, not even the chirping of cicadas or birds that should have been heard on the mountain, completely turning into a dead village.

In fact, if you look carefully through the broken paper window, you can still see the way the villagers died. Some of them were sitting on the ground with frightened faces, and some were holding their hearts and standing upright. Lying on the bed, the corpses have been decomposed for a long time, and it is almost impossible to make out what they looked like before they were alive.

Tucun...?

Could this be Xu Jin's soul?But judging from the fact that Xu Jin still needs the reincarnation who got the umbrella to come back to help her avenge, it doesn't seem like a means she can do.

Xiao Li held the purple umbrella in the other hand. He was about to walk out of the house when he suddenly looked up and saw a vaguely visible face appearing on the umbrella.

Xiao Li paused: "...Xu Jin?"

There was a look of nostalgia on that face, as if it had been a long time since he called her that.

A faint voice floated into Xiao Li's ears: "Thank you."

Xu Jin's voice was very gentle. If she could see the face of a real person, she must belong to the kind of person who is educated and reasonable. Even if she becomes a ghost, she will not be aggressive. She continued: "This umbrella belongs to my mother. On the day I stole the household registration book and registered for marriage with him, it was also raining like this. I took this umbrella from the umbrella stand in the room, but I never thought that this would be the last time I saw my parents. "

"In retrospect, the moment I regret the most is that I chose to elope with him that day, and it's no wonder that I became obsessed in the end." Xu Jin said, "Now everything is over, and my obsession is about to dissipate. This umbrella It will also lift the seal, foreign traveler, and you will get what you want."

Xiao Li thought for a while: "Can I ask a question?"

Xu Jin: "Tell me."

Xiao Li: "Why did this village become like this?"

According to Xu Jin's current character, apart from the scumbag who abused her, at least she would not attack the old lady who sympathized with her.

Xu Jin: "...I don't know either."

"At that time, everything was chaotic, and a foreigner came to the village. He convinced the village chief and told him that our village's Feng Shui is very evil. As long as nearly half of the villagers are sacrificed, we can get the power to get what we want."

"The son of the village chief accidentally slipped a word when he was courting the girl he liked, and it spread. Everyone was arguing and looking at each other maliciously. They started killing each other and killed many Innocent old people and children..."

As for Xu Jin himself, at the beginning of all this, he was beaten by her husband for not taking good care of her, and died at home.

The outsiders who can know about "sacrifice" don't know whether they are warlocks or reincarnations in this dungeon world.

"Later, my obsession formed a force, attached to this umbrella. I found that after they died, I could control the village..."

This is what Xiao Li saw when he came over.

Xiao Li nodded thoughtfully.

The color of the face on the umbrella became lighter and lighter, and finally turned into a wisp of green smoke and scattered outside the house.

But at this moment, Xiao Huang Ben shook again, and the entire Eternal Soul Umbrella became even larger, and faces appeared one after another on the original purple fabric, which looked like white flowers from a distance.

Zheng Yi and Ye Zeqing stayed not far away. They saw that Xiao Li seemed to be talking, so they didn't rush to disturb him. Now they saw that he had finished their work, so they came over and asked, "Successful?"

Xiao Li nodded.

Zheng Yi let out a long breath: "Then let's go, it's so quiet here, it makes my skin crawl."

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and stroked the bristling hair in a serious manner.

Everyone walked back along the original road. The mountain road was difficult to walk, and the dense rain made them move forward more slowly.

On the way, Ye Zeqing asked curiously: "Hell, your umbrella has been unsealed, so what function does it have?"

"I haven't read it yet." Xiao Li said, but since Ye Zeqing asked, he took out the little yellow book from his pocket and took a look.

On the pale yellow paper, large sections of handwriting emerged, and Xiao Li felt a little nostalgic at first glance.

【……husband? 】

【You haven't called me husband yet. 】

[... a little jealous. 】

[I'm very angry, I want to hug you, and let you call me "husband" ten times, so that I will be happy. 】

[It's a good thing you didn't call out, otherwise I wouldn't be able to help but show up directly. 】

[But still...not very happy. 】

Xiao Li wanted him to show up directly, but he didn't know if it would be the appearance of that man, or if he would just create a virtual little yellow book.

After Xiao Huangben's confession is displayed, you need to turn a page to see the introduction about the Eternal Soul Umbrella: [Eternal Soul Umbrella, the seal has been released, you will get more help. 】

[Umbrella Flower: You can use the power of the Eternal Soul Umbrella to change the way outsiders see you, only once in the world. 】

[Eternal Soul: It is enough to live in a soul, the time is limited to 24 hours, and the soul can be kept alive. 】

[Similar: When you hold up this umbrella, ghosts will not be able to disturb you. 】

Xiao Li roughly recounted the function to Ye Zeqing, and in exchange for the other party's envious look: "There are many functions, and it's not a one-time item."

This umbrella may be an artifact in the outside world, but it is clear that its original owner is not very happy.

This appears to be very lacklustre.

Xiao Li touched the handle of the umbrella, thinking that it would be good if he grew up and upgraded, and there would be more rain that could cover him, and now it was enough to cover his entire upper body from being wet by the rain.

The raindrops dripped on the purple umbrella surface, wetted the human face flowers on it, and splashed layer after layer of smoke.

By the time they got back to the hotel, it was past meal time and it was almost afternoon.

The entire old hotel falls on the mountain road that must be passed in and out of Lingxi Mountain, like walking into the mouth of evil spirits.

The sky became more and more gloomy, Xiao Li put away his umbrella and entered the room, it was almost no different from the night.

As soon as he entered, Xiao Li raised his eyebrows - the windows of the original hotel had been covered with various fabrics from the inside, and the lights were turned on in broad daylight, like a dark prison.

Mr. Hu and others and a few reincarnations were sitting in the lobby. Looking at their distressed looks, it was clear that they had not been able to contact the outside world and the hotel owner.

Zheng Yi held an umbrella at the door of the hotel, and was the first to say hello: "Have you found the boss yet?"

Mr. Hu reluctantly said: "No, I wonder if he went down the mountain."

"Then what did you have for lunch?"

Speaking of this, Mr. Hu showed a little hesitation and panic in his eyes: "At the meal time prescribed by the boss, it just appeared in the back kitchen. We were obviously watched by someone, but no one knew when the chef made the meal. .”

Zheng Yi: "Have you eaten?"

Mr. Hu said: "No, who would dare? And today there is meat, a plate of braised pork..."

Those who didn't have it yesterday had meat after Luo Pan's death, which made these reincarnated people feel terrified.

Mr. Hu used to love braised pork, but now he feels like vomiting when he smells it.

"Then what did you eat?"

"Fruit, fresh fruit." Mr. Hu pointed to the edge of the dining table, on which there was a pile of blue fruits, "There is a fruit tree in the backyard."

Zheng Yi scratched his head: "Can we eat?"

"Yes, there are many more." For this kind of thing, Mr. Hu said generously.

In fact, he secretly hid biscuits and other things in his suitcase and did not take them out.

Zheng Yi took a few fruits and distributed them to Xiao Li and the others.

President Hu asked, "What are you doing out there?"

Zheng Yi's action of eating fruit paused for a moment, and Xiao Li continued: "Go out and see if there are other people on the mountain, and look for the boss by the way."

Mr. Hu: "Have you found it?"

Xiao Li took a deep look at him: "...No."

Mr. Hu played with the mobile phone with no signal in disappointment.

Zheng Yi wrapped some fruit with his clothes: "Then let's go up and take a bath, I feel like a fish swimming in the sea, this is not as bad as a heavy rainstorm, refreshing and neat."

Mr. Hu looked at him deeply with approving eyes.

Xiao Li walked up the stairs, also preparing to take a hot bath and change clothes for herself.

But when he came to the depths of the corridor, he saw the young man standing at the window in the deepest part of the corridor.

Shen Mizhi leaned against the window to watch the rain outside, the young man's sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, his brows were cold, and he looked out in a leisurely manner.

Then he heard a sound, and he also turned his head to meet Xiao Li's gaze.

Before Xiao Li could speak, Shen Mizhi had already walked over. He looked down at the handprint on Xiao Li's sleeve: "This is?"

That was the handprint left by Xu Jin's husband when he took him as Xu Jin.

Xiao Li: "...Others caught it, it's nothing."

Shen Mizhi let out a "hmm", he didn't seem very happy, but he couldn't say why he was unhappy - he lifted the other party's sleeve, rubbed that piece of skin repeatedly with his fingertips until it turned slightly red Zhi Zhi: "Next time you go out, you can ask me to come with you."

Xiao Li wanted to withdraw his hand, but the opponent's strength was very strong, as if being bound by steel bars.

Looking at the young man's eyes again, he was looking at him without blinking, the bottom of his pupils were dark, as if he was waiting for Xiao Li to express his opinion.

Xiao Li originally wanted to push him away, but when he thought of the scene of Shen Mizhi at the door of his house that night, his heart softened subtly.

...It looks like it's smooth sailing.

Xiao Li sighed: "...Aren't you not here?"

Shen Mizhi's side face was very serious, he put his arms around the other's wrist: "As long as you call me, I will always be there."

Xiao Li could only say: "Next time, I will come with you."

Xiao Li is a person who rarely bothers others.

Generally speaking, if he is willing to call someone for help, it means that this person must be close enough in his heart.

The corners of Shen Mi's lips raised slightly, and then she let go of Xiao Li's hand contentedly.

It's better...to rely on him a little more.

Before Xiao Li opened the door to enter the room, Shen Mizhi thought of something and grabbed his wrist again: "Can you..."

Call me husband.

Shen Mizhi imagined the way the other party yelled, maybe it was unwilling, maybe it was after falling in love, but it must be different from Xiao Li's usual look, soft and sweet.

Just thinking about it, Shen Mizhi felt his heart go soft, and the original jealousy was diluted a lot.

It was a feeling he had never felt before.

But if he speaks out, whether he will get a response will not be said, but Xiao Huangben's identity is ready to be revealed.

"What?" Xiao Li was waiting for his next words.

Shen Mizhi's drooping eyes concealed the dark golden light at the bottom of his eyes: "It's nothing, rest early."

Before Xiao Li fell in love with Shen Mizhi, he didn't dare to reveal his identity casually, for fear of offending the other party's disgust, but even so, he still couldn't help but imagine that scene.

This cautious feeling is strange, but nothing makes him more willing than this.

into the night.

It was another night, no matter how much the people inside the hotel hated the arrival of night, time did not stop as expected, instead, it was like pressing the fast forward button, and the sky completely darkened after a while.

I don't know if it is to match the atmosphere, the rain has not stopped.

The raindrops fell into the soil, fell on the eaves, and left large traces on the windows.

Thinking that another person will be killed by the evil spirit this year, everyone's heart is heavy.

Xiao Li had already taken a shower, changed his clothes, and even had time to take a nap.

He didn't wake up naturally, but was woken up by a loud "bang" outside the door downstairs.

The sound was deafening, like thunder hitting his ears, it almost shook Xiao Li off the bed.

The little black cat that was lying on the side of the pillow had its tail bristling up high. It was so frightened that it exploded and let out a threatening growl from its throat.

...Looking at it like this, it doesn't look like being disturbed, but meeting a ghost.

Xiao Li simply took off his pajamas, opened the door and went downstairs.

The sound came from a storage room at the back of the hotel lobby.

When Xiao Li followed the voice to look for it, the people living on the first floor had already surrounded him first.

Under the light of the cold light bulb in the corridor, the door bulged out strangely, as if a giant of infinite strength had kicked at the door from inside, and some sawdust had broken open.

Xiao Li stood up straight at the door, and before he could speak, Shen Mizhi at the side suddenly reached out and grabbed a lock of his black hair, rolled it around his fingertips and pressed it down.

Xiao Li: "What's wrong?"

Suddenly touch the head to kill?

Shen Mizhi smiled softly: "It's up."

Xiao Li grabbed that piece of hair by himself, and there was indeed a bunch of black hairs standing restlessly on his head, maybe it was because the hair was not dried before taking a nap.

Shen Mizhi pressed it for him a few times, but failed.

Xiao Li covered that piece of hair by himself: "Forget it, now is not the time to worry about this."

Sawdust filled the air like moths overwhelming the incandescent lamp.

The rain is rustling.

"What's in it? How could it make such a sound?" a dark-skinned reincarnated person asked.

Standing at the outermost edge of the crowd, Jiang Linwen said coolly, "The corpse."

"……what?!"

"Luo Pan's body was locked here by us in the morning." Ye Zeqing completed the sentence.

All the people present gasped——

There are no other living things in this storeroom.

The loud noise just now was heard by everyone. Doesn't this mean...

Is it Luo Pan's corpse hitting the door?

Lin Ruo was the first to scream: "He, is he dead or not?"

The little girl, Xiao Tu, tightly grabbed the corner of her brother's clothes, but the other party had no time to comfort her, and he himself was in a state of panic.

Except for a few of them, the rest of the reincarnations all frowned...

Jiang Linwen saw everyone's expressions: "It's a ghost, it's haunted here."

"Then what should we do now?" Mr. Hu asked bewilderedly.

Jiang Linwen pondered for a moment—it can't be opened directly now, if the thing inside really "lives", it's a self-inflicted trap, and the best way now is to reinforce a layer outside the door...

Before Jiang Linwen's method was fully perfected, he saw a person squeezed out from the crowd.

The man was good-looking, with black hair and black eyes, and was extremely conspicuous at first glance, but none of this could compare to what he did.

When he came to the door, he directly reached out to fiddle with the small lock, and it seemed that he was about to twist the lock to open the door of the storage room.

It was Hercule who he thought was likely to be the incarnation of evil spirits.

Jiang Linwen no longer cared about being afraid that he was an evil spirit, and immediately stopped him without thinking: "Wait a minute—"

But Xiao Li had already moved nimbly to the small lock and pushed the door straight open.

Jiang Linwen had no choice but to swallow the rest of the words.

Behind the door, Luo Yan's body was lying on the door so straight.

The head of the corpse was pressed against the door, and a hole was obviously sunken in the forehead. Both hands were pressed on the ground before, and the eyes were wide open, as if the loud noise just now was hit by Luo Yan with his head.

Only now, it doesn't move again.

Xiao Li turned around and asked Ye Zeqing: "When you moved it here, what was its posture?"

Ye Zeqing also looked a little unstable, but fortunately Xiao Li gave him a sense of security, he recalled: "Lying on the back, lying in the innermost corner, eyes closed."

Xiao Li: "Can you feel ghost energy?"

Ye Zeqing: "No."

Xiao Li kicked the corpse, but there was no response.

Jiang Linwen at the door: "..."

I was taken aback by his wild actions.

Xiao Li thought for a while, then he walked into the depths of the storage room, found a straw rope from the mahogany cabinet inside, then dragged Luo Pan's body, tied it together firmly, and finally tied the rope together. Closed, tied a knot.

Being tied up like this, even if he is a living person, he has to use all his strength to break free of the rope before he can hit his head on the door again.

If Luo Pan's corpse can move again, it's really a skill.

Xiao Li checked his results and clapped his hands in satisfaction.

He walked out of the storage room, re-locked the protruding door, and then turned around and said, "Okay, you can go back to sleep."

Jiang Linwen narrowed his eyes, he looked carefully at the person in front of him, and a sentence stuck in his throat——

If this person is an evil ghost, identifying his identity now can prevent another person from dying tonight.

He only felt that the name was on the jaw, and he could say it as soon as he opened his mouth, but if he misidentified, he would die...

Just when Jiang Linwen was hesitating, Ye Zeqing patted him on the shoulder from behind.

Jiang Linwen looked back, only to hear Ye Zeqing say in a deep voice: "I don't think you look like a ghost, so I give you some advice."

Jiang Linwen: "What?"

Ye Zeqing: "You've been looking at him, don't you really suspect that he's an evil spirit?"

Jiang Linwen fell silent when he poked at the center of the matter.

Ye Zeqing continued: "Don't rush to identify him, go to the forum and search for Hercule, you will understand."

Jiang Linwen: "Forum?"

"The forum function in the mission book," Ye Zeqing took the opportunity to reassure, "and Moriarty."

Zheng Yi on the side listened to the whole conversation, and he interjected: "Why didn't you say Sherlock?"

Jiang Linwen: "..."

Check everything, check everything, okay?

On the other side, in the toilet in the hall.

Xiao Li turned on the faucet, dipped some water on his fingertips, and began to play with his twisted hair.

I don't know how he slept, this strand of hair was so tenacious that he refused to bend over no matter how much water he used.

The light in this toilet is different from that in the hall. It is yellowish, reflecting a dark halo on the surrounding tiles.

"Snapped--"

There was a strong draft that shut the door of the toilet firmly, blocking Xiao Li's escape route.

Xiao Li was startled by the sound, he turned on the faucet and glanced at the closed door.

The face of the boy was reflected in the mirror of the sink, and the entire gloomy toilet was also reflected.

From the sewer pipe, there was a "gurgling" sound, as if something was pouring out.

The sound became more and more intense, overwhelming the storm outside.

A mass of thick hair emerged from the mouth of the pipe, its roots were curled and intertwined, climbing outward like a pile of water plants, two eyes flashed from the middle, the whole thing was indescribable.

Xiao Li and those eyes looked at each other, it was fine at first, but soon he became excited as if thinking of something.

The eyes in the hair twinkled.

Is it an illusion, why does this person look at it with a green light?

The confusion of the ghost did not affect its next move, the hair twisted in the air, like the tentacles of an octopus, and swept towards Xiao Li——

Xiao Li raised the corners of his lips, and he took a step back, giving the stage to those who were waiting for him.

A hand grabbed it, not only that, but also pressed it against the faucet and circled it around.

Behind the strands of hair, the faint sound of crying was getting closer, and the weeping woman came uninvited.

Xiao Li said in a relaxed tone: "I found the wig for you, you can no longer hold grudges."

Ghost:? ? ?

Fake... what wig?

Also, why did so many people suddenly appear?When it emerged, wasn't there only one human being?

The weeping woman came over and restrained her crying. She grabbed the hair ghost, put it on her head, fiddled with it twice, and suddenly said: "Why are you so frizzy?"

Not at all the softness of her own hair.

The disgusted hair ghost: "..."

If it were any weaker, it would jump off a building!
