I Wasn't Born Lucky

Xiao Li was not able to join the conversation between Sun Qilin and Tang Huaqing in the end. After he came, both sides only had some polite words.

for example:

Sun Qilin: "I don't know when the rain will stop."

Tang Huaqing: "You should be worried about whether it will stop."

Sun Qilin: "Mr. Tang was joking. Stopping is inevitable. The only difference lies in the world after the rain."

"..."

Xiao Li looked left and right, suddenly felt bored, and after listening to them being polite to each other for a while, he planned to leave.

Fortunately, before he brought it up, Tang Huaqing had already given up the purpose of coming to find Sun Qilin this time, offered to leave, and declined Sun Qilin's send-off.

Only Sun Qilin and Xiao Li were left in this pavilion, he turned around and looked Xiao Li carefully, and said very politely: "Go, I'll take you back, Wang Huai and the others should all be back. "

Xiao Li: "No need to send it off, I remember the way back."

Sun Qilin was choked for a second. The other party was the death terminator of the topic. Before he could think about what to say, Xiao Li asked again: "Tang Huaqing wants you to join the referee?"

Sun Qilin: "..."

Even if you guessed it, don't ask so frankly, okay?

He hesitated for a moment, but said honestly: "Yes, I refused, I don't want to participate in the game between the gods, as far as I know, the god of the underworld treats his followers badly, and it is quite possible to turn his face after success. "

"But his target is not me, but my grandfather, the current head of the Sun family, and I am just a junior. They need my grandfather's help to find one thing, and hope that he can bring the Sun family to join them. The rest is me. I don't know."

Sun Qilin didn't seem to like the court, and explained everything to Xiao Li.

Seeing Xiao Li's eyes, Sun Qilin shrugged nonchalantly: "Anyway, even if you don't ask, Wang Huai will come and ask me. It's better to tell you now than to talk about it after being annoyed by him for a long time."

Xiao Li didn't look at him, he looked at the lotus leaves in the pond in front of him, the green leaves were soaked with too much rain, and then suddenly asked, "What happened to your family?"

Sun Qilin restrained his smile: "I don't know very well, but I can only say that it scares me, not inferior to any copy world."

Xiao Li could see clearly, when the other party uttered these words, he shuddered.

When Xiao Li went back, the others had already returned. They chose the largest guest room, Wang Huai sat on the hammock, and the others stood or sat around the table.

He scanned around, but did not find Shen Mizhi.

Xiao Li walked to the side of the hammock, and signaled Wang Huai to move a seat to the side with his eyes. Lao Wang raised his head innocently and gave him a corner.

"What did you do?"

Xiao Li tried to sum it up: "Disturb Sun Qilin and Tang Huaqing's tryst."

Wang Huai: "..."

Wang Huai: "...What? They? Are you serious?"

Xiao Li: "The two of them got along alone, and separated when they saw me. There was still some inexplicable embarrassment in their words."

As he spoke, he recounted what happened just now.

"...Damn, let me just say that your headline is too outrageous. You are indeed the spreader of rumors about deceitful and secret love for the God of Beauty." Wang Huai was finally able to remove the shocked expression from his cheeks after hearing this. , but the solemn look still stayed in his eyes, he said simply, "The referee is the guest of Sun Yaoming, the head of the Sun family, and he values ​​it more than us."

Gong Mingming continued: "The simplest evidence is——"

She was leaning against the window with a bottle of beer in her hand, now she turned her head and opened the window, the wind mixed with raindrops rushed into the room immediately, but Gong Mingming didn't realize it, and continued facing the inner courtyard outside. Said: "They have a dinner party in the evening, which is used to welcome them, and we are left hanging here."

Looking out from the window here, through the heavy rain curtain, you can vaguely see the lights on the tall buildings in the distance, and the figures of the servants walking back and forth.

Luo Shan said: "If the Sun family really fell to the referee, it would be absolutely bad news for us, but we are still here, so at least the situation is not completely clear yet."

Gong Mingming's cell phone vibrated at this moment, she answered a call and went outside.

Xiao Li stretched out his long legs, put his toes on the ground, and swung the hammock back and forth like a swing.

Wang Huai stood up from the hammock in time, and said to him, "The totems you asked me to pay attention to a while ago, since the release of the final mission, I also noticed a few with similar patterns, we solved them, and some of them were too late to solve It was directly taken away by the referee."

"The effect of this totem is mostly to promote the transformation of ghosts into ghosts. At the peak of the transformation, it will absorb energy from ghosts. In one case, a reincarnation of the referee came out of it on surveillance."

"What they believe in now is the god of the underworld and the god of death, the purpose is to bring their brilliance into reality, and to welcome their master when the well collapses—"

In the middle of Wang Huai's speech, he was suddenly interrupted by Gong Mingming rushing in.

Gong Mingming held the phone in his hand: "Did you hear anything?"

"Cry?"

The room suddenly fell silent, and everyone almost held their breath, but they still couldn't distinguish the so-called crying from the sound of rain.

Both Ye Zeqing and Luo Shan shook their heads.

Gong Mingming pointed to his mobile phone and said: "Just now I answered a call, it was my friend who was talking about what happened to them, I asked the person who took the reincarnation to help, but she suddenly said that there was crying on my side. "

Xiao Li took out his cell phone and made a call to Ye Zeqing.

Ye Zeqing connected.

Xiao Li put the phone on speakerphone and put it on her lap.

Gong Mingming closed the windows and doors to isolate the sound of rain from outside.

At first, everyone didn't hear anything. After listening carefully for about a minute, Xiao Li could barely distinguish the slightest cry from the noise of the mobile phone.

The voice was very different from the crying woman.

If it's Sister Cry's crying sound that seems quiet and resentful, then this sound is like a baby's scream, neither crying nor laughing, with a kind of innocence and viciousness, even vaguely, it sounds more like crying than crying. laugh.

Xiao Li turned off the phone, but the sound was buried by the heavy rain in reality, and nothing could be heard clearly.

"Is it the cry of a baby?" Wang Huai quickly speculated, "Baby spirit?"

Ye Zeqing denied this guess: "It will definitely not be Yingling. With the strength of the Sun family, it is not so embarrassing for Yingling, but—"

He suddenly stopped talking, turned his head to look at the door, and put on a defensive posture, as if some ghost was approaching outside the door.

With his demonstration, the rest of the people also straightened up, waiting for the arrival of things outside the door.

"—knock, knock, knock."

A rhythmic knock sounded from outside the door.

At first the reincarnators didn't answer, they exchanged a look, and Luo Shan clenched the prop compass in her hand.

Then the knock on the door rang three times again: "Knock, knock, knock."

Gong Mingming was closest to the door, she leaned down and asked outside the door, "Who is it?"

"It's me, butler," said the man at the door in a flat voice, "Guests, the master is entertaining guests today, please follow me."

Hearing this familiar voice, Gong Mingming was still vigilant, and she opened the door in a posture that she could jump away at any time.

Standing at the door was the butler who opened the door for Xiao Li before.

This road belonging to the guest room is very dark, there is no lighting equipment such as incandescent lamps, and the road is slippery in the open air. Ordinary people would carry a flashlight or something like that, but this housekeeper has nothing in his hand, neither a flashlight nor a flashlight. Lantern, he said with a wooden face: "Guest, please follow me."

Xiao Li looked at the butler twice, he always felt that the other party was different from what he saw when he first came in, but he couldn't tell what was different.

His changes should be very small, so small that only his intuition gave a hint, but he couldn't find any specific changes for a while.

Gong Mingming fiddled with his long hair: "Why did the master of the Sun family invite us suddenly? Isn't today a day for them to chat with Mr. Tang?"

"We are not qualified to comment on the matter of the master," the butler lowered his head and repeated this sentence for the third time, "Please follow me."

"Wait for a while." Gong Mingming turned his head and exchanged glances with everyone in the room, and then opened the door neatly, "Please lead the way ahead."

The housekeeper walked in the forefront, but the reincarnated people behind him had to use lighting tools. Except for the flashlights of Gong Mingming and others, the small light bulbs jumped out very consciously, floating in the air half a meter in front of Xiao Li, providing them with Light the way forward.

The heavy rain made the corridor very slippery. Even with the lighting, Xiao Li almost fell down several times. It was Wang Huai who was standing beside him who gave him some support, which prevented him from repeating the mistake of his legs and did a split on the spot.

But the reincarnated people with the lights are walking so hard, but the old butler in front is advancing very smoothly in the dark.

Ye Zeqing couldn't help asking: "Mr. Butler, it's so dark here, don't you need lights?"

The old butler said without looking back, "No need, I can see it."

Ye Zeqing looked at the pitch-black front, and repeated mockingly: "Can you see it?"

The old butler kept walking and nodded his head up and down.

His nodding posture is also very strange. Seen from behind, normal people would lean forward when nodding, but he has a smooth straight face without the slightest curvature.

Ye Zeqing still wanted to say something, but Xiao Li pressed his shoulder and shut his mouth.

He lowered his voice, turned around to Xiao Li, and said softly: "Before he came in and knocked on the door, I sensed a faint ghost approaching, which was a phenomenon that had never happened to me before. "

"I think...he's turning into a ghost."

Xiao Li listened silently, and when he passed a puddle, he pointed at the old butler's leg: "Did you see it?"

Ye Zeqing's pupils tightened and he nodded.

They saw clearly just now, at the edge of the light bulb, the old housekeeper sprained his ankle.

Perhaps it should not be called a sprained ankle, because his entire instep was sprained. For an ordinary person, his bones were broken, but he continued to walk as if nothing had happened, until he returned to the flat ground, and his feet returned to their original shape. Does not affect his walking.

That's why he's walking on the ground.

Now Xiao Li's eyes were focused on the opponent's feet, and he finally felt that something was wrong——

The butler's feet became smaller.

To use a popular analogy, his feet changed from a size 41 to a size 37, but the shoes did not change, so it was difficult to be found.

It is also because the butler's shoes are too big that he always sprains his feet when he walks.
