I'm afraid of non-human beings

"...?"

The closet was quiet, and there was no sign of anyone struggling violently in it just now.

Lin You stared at the cabinet door for another two seconds. After confirming that the guy had completely given up resistance, she raised her hand full of doubts and clicked on her personal panel.

Her previous thinking was similar to that of Zhang Pingshan, and she was also mentally prepared to be a miserable "vagrant" in this level or even for a period of time.

Didn't expect the verdict to come so... quickly?

Now, right in front of her eyes, the thin light gold chain was trembling on the gray question mark behind the occupation column, and with the barely audible collision sound, its trembling amplitude was getting bigger and bigger ——

"Crack!"

The thin chain suddenly split apart, scattered into the air and turned into countless tiny light spots.And at the back of the occupation column, instead of the original dark gray question mark to be unlocked, there are three large characters.

--"Summoner".

Lin You: "..."

What the hell?What's the matter?What's wrong with this?

[Player: Lin You]

【Occupation: Summoner】

A line of small print of the same color is attached at the bottom.

[Professional description: You can establish contact with certain creatures in a specific way, and borrow their power under certain restrictions.Please explore the terms and limitations of use by yourself. 】

Lin You: "..."

She really just wanted to negotiate a deal with the sewing ghost just now, but she never thought that she would accidentally trigger her own profession.

Before receiving the helmet, Lin You, who could only look forward to being a cloud player, thoroughly studied the introductory manual on the official website.Although some common occupation names are listed above as examples, it also shows that there are still many hidden occupations.

As for what they have, she has heard of such things as Taoist priests and fanatics on the forum, and the styles of paintings are strange and weird.

——The current Summoner is obviously one of them.

Lin You felt a sudden sinking in her hand. She looked down and found that what fell into her hand was a heavy book. After looking up and down, she simply opened it.

This book is as thick as three fingers together. It has no title or signature. The hot stamping pattern on the cover is complex and exquisite, and the sides of the pages are also dyed a light gold.

With her so many years of game experience, this is not so much a book, but more like an illustration.

A page is divided into upper and lower rows, with three slots in each row.Now except for the first two pages, everything else is locked in gray, and obviously only the dozen or so card slots are usable.

From the looks of it, Lin You thought, she was asked to collect the "cards" by herself before putting them in.

Then the problem is coming.

She put away the illustration book with a wave of her hand, and looked up silently, looking at the wardrobe locked by herself.

The key... where is it?

"what happened?"

At this moment, the bathroom door was opened, and Liang Xue poked her head out blankly, "I seem to hear a sound?"

"Actually," Lin You blinked, "I have determined my profession."

Liang Xue: "...!!!"

So fast? !

She looked at Lin You in shock.

The world view that had been cracked just now was on the verge of collapse, as if another corner had been "clicked".Thinking of how long it took her back then, Liang Xue was in a trance, thinking "Why is the gap between people so big".

——When she really knows the other party's occupation, the three views may have to be broken again.

Lin You was thinking about how to explain what happened just now, but saw the people over there waving their hands indiscriminately.

"No, no, you don't need to tell me the details." Liang Xue got stuck, and seemed to be struggling with how to explain, "You also know the current situation, and your professional ability is the last guarantee."

"This level is okay. Everyone is a trustworthy person, so there is no need to avoid it, but it's hard to say what happened next."

Lin You: "You mean—"

That's the good thing about talking to smart people. You don't need to spend too much time talking to get through a little bit.

Liang Xue nodded, "Yes, sometimes you may not even know whether your teammates are from the same camp as yourself, or even whether they are people, so it's better to hide some cards carefully."

Lin You nodded thoughtfully, then raised her head and thanked Liang Xue with a smile.On the contrary, the other party felt embarrassed, coughed twice, and took out the things he found in the cupboard just now.

"I found this in the mirror," she held up a small silver key, "I don't know where it was used to open it..."

--key!

Lin You, who was worrying about this, lifted her spirits, and immediately gave up the lock hanging on the handle of the closet behind her.

"Come and try?"

"But be prepared first," she reminded, "well, there might be things in it that you don't really want to see right now."

Of course, it's more likely that the Stitcher has become something else.

Liang Xue agreed with an inexplicable face, and the process of inserting the key into the lock was quite smooth.With a light twist, the lock snapped open, and Lin You pulled the door open!

Sure enough, the ghost hidden inside disappeared, leaving only a card lying on the bottom of the empty cabinet.

The size is exactly the same as the card slot in the illustrated book.

She couldn't wait to pick up the card, and at a glance, she saw that the surface of the card was smeared with oil paint, which was exactly the grim and grinning appearance of the sewing ghost in the closet, and there were several rows of densely packed small characters underneath.

【Name: Stitching Ghost】

[Card number: 003]

【Level: R】

[Remarks: Although it is made up of different corpses, it has to crawl on all fours, but it is unexpectedly dexterous, and it can become bigger or smaller as you like within a certain range.Originally, he liked to hide in the dark to scare people, but recently he suffered from claustrophobia for some reason, and would jump three feet high when he saw a typewriter.I am particularly concerned about my crooked nose, and I am obsessed with asking which plastic surgery hospital is better. 】

Lin You: "...???"

There is a saying that the person who wrote this remark must be a heart-pounding genius who knows nothing by himself.

Liang Xue watched her take out a card half-understanding, and guessed most of it after thinking about the conversation just now, so she wisely didn't come over to look at it, but looked at the other corner of the closet.

She said "huh".

"what is that?"

Lin You just had a thought, and the card in his hand disappeared out of thin air, presumably it was directly put into the illustration book.Hearing Liang Xue's voice, she also turned her head, and saw the brown paper box that was obviously kicked to the corner.

Just now, the stitching ghost was noisy and noisy inside, and I want to know who did it.

The lid was crooked, exposing the empty interior.

"Just an empty box in the closet?" Liang Xue was surprised, "Is there nothing in it?"

Lin You looked at the empty box, it was either empty from the beginning, or it was hidden by the sewing ghost.

To be honest, she didn't think that guy had such an IQ.

"There's still room to search," she said. "Let's look here again."

One of them looked under the bed and the other opened the desk drawer, but they found nothing.

Liang Xue: "Since we can't find any more clues..."

Lin You picked up her words: "Then we can only go upstairs."

She originally wanted to let the sewing ghost explore the way ahead, but now that it has become a card, Lin You couldn't help but care about the so-called "restrictions" in the description.If you use your ability casually now, you will lose a lot if you can't use it at a critical moment.

We can only wait and call it out at the right time, and ask together where the things in the box have gone.

The two of them walked out together, and just when they reached the corridor, they ran into Zhang Pingshan and the two who were walking towards them.

Like Lin You and the others, except for an extra flashlight, they also had nothing in their hands.

"The kitchen is full of pots and pans," Zhang Pingshan said helplessly, "What about you?"

"I didn't find anything except an empty box." Liang Xue scratched her head and remembered about Lin You again.

Although it is not completely for nothing.

They were standing at the bottom of the stairs, and they all looked at the dark second floor in unison.

The outside of the window was already shrouded in darkness, Zhang Pingshan nervously turned on the flashlight and turned it on again.The light was still dim, and it could only illuminate a few steps in front of him, and then it was pitch black.

Following the crowd up the steps, Lin You lowered her head within a few steps, and couldn't help being startled.

"Wait." She lowered her voice and patted the arm of the person in front of her.

The emaciated young man was shocked immediately, and when he looked back to see that it was his companion, he breathed a sigh of relief.He cried and said, "It scared me to death."

"Then..." Lin You raised her eyebrows and pointed to the steps, "I hope this doesn't scare you."

Looking in the direction she pointed, Wen Yang's heart almost jumped into his throat.

—Fuck!

Right at his feet, a black shoe print on the wooden steps.Like someone stepped on soot and came here and stained the floor, the marks are pretty intact.

He thought about it wildly, isn't there some invisible thing following them——

"Don't be afraid." Zhang Pingshan's face also changed, but he was still calm, "We are not together."

The flashlight illuminated the front enough to see that the footprints stretched all the way up, and finally disappeared behind the corner.

"Here we are." He said quietly.

Stepping on the last step, everyone was a little nervous.

Even if nothing followed them, this series of footprints is enough to show that the thing is already on it.

In the midst of this silence, a small sob suddenly sounded in the air.

It was so quiet, quiet enough to make out clearly that the sobbing was coming from the door facing the stairs.

The footprints only passed through the door, so it shouldn't be the guy who left the footprints inside, but——

Zhang Pingshan turned his head and asked others with his eyes.Lin You nodded decisively first. Although the other two were still a little hesitant, they had too few clues. Right now, they could only go to Tiger Mountain knowing that there were tigers in the mountain, so they had to go and see anyway.

The door was gently pushed open.

The light of the flashlight swept over, and the little figure curled up in the corner also turned around.

"Who are you?" she asked timidly.

The little girl looked about five or six years old, the little floral skirt on her body was covered with dust, tears were still hanging on her eyelashes, and her eyes were red from rubbing herself.

A few people stared at each other, but they all reached a consensus in the eye contact that they would appear in this abandoned mansion, no matter how harmless they behaved, they couldn't be human.

However, she did not appear to be malicious.

Wen Yang, who was at the back, also stepped in. He looked back at the string of shoe prints, and closed the door carefully.

"We lost our way and broke into here by accident," Lin You observed her reaction, and took a step forward, "Your name is 'Sisi'?"

The little girl blinked her eyes.

"How does sister know Sisi's name?"

Well, you guessed it.

"We found a letter in the study downstairs." She met Liang Xue's eyes, and the latter explained kindly, "It was mentioned above. Do you know who wrote the letter?"

"I...I don't know," the little girl whispered awkwardly, "but only my mother can use the study at home, so it should be written by my mother."

"That's it." Lin You nodded.

She was about to say something more when she suddenly heard the approaching voice.

At the same time, the little girl's eyes also changed suddenly, full of unspeakable fear.

"Dad..." she said tremblingly, "Run, Dad is coming."

sand--

It seemed that someone was dragging heavy steps in the corridor, but the sound came to the ears, and there was a strange lightness.

They invariably remembered the string of footprints.

rustle--

The footsteps stopped at the door.
