Ye He was afraid that he might be wrong, so he took a closer look.But no matter how he counted, there were only three shadows on the wall.

He looked at A Jiang behind him, and He Yan who was walking in front of him. They didn't seem to realize that there were only three shadows on the wall.A Jiang noticed that he turned his head to look over, and even smiled at him, but perhaps because of the darkness in the basement, his smile looked a little sinister.

The light reflected by the oil lamp elongated and deformed the shadows of the people. The three shadows all had long hands and feet like branches, and they appeared somewhat distorted as they walked.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but Ye He even felt a chill in the basement.

Because the shadow was elongated, Ye He had no way of judging who other than him, the other two shadows belonged to, and who was the person without the shadow.

Ye He could only turn to the system: "System, look quickly, there are only three shadows on the wall!"

He tried hard to control the trembling of his body, so as to avoid being noticed by others, but the fear in his heart gradually expanded like ripples, and now Ye He even felt that every step he raised his feet was about to exhaust all his strength.

The system looked at the three shadows on the wall, and only after Ye He reminded it did it realize that there were only three shadows on the wall.

Ye He's voice continued: "What should I do, the one with no shadow..."

How can a person have no shadow?It can only mean that the one without the shadow is not human at all.

The system fell into silence, and began to think about how to explain this matter to Ye He.

Ye He: "System, what should I do, I feel a little dizzy, I feel a little dizzy..."

Thinking that he was beside him with a shadowless person, Ye He's voice trembled a little. He really wanted to escape, but he couldn't.Now he didn't even dare to stop, for fear of alarming the two of them.

In fact, he really wanted to pass out now, but for some reason, his nerves had become so tough, and now he could still support him to open his eyes and continue walking down.

The system really wanted to ask Ye He why he didn't just say that he was allergic to ghosts.But when he thought of Ye He being so scared and still covering up his fear of ghosts, the system became annoyed and funny.

System: [Don't be dizzy, where are the ghosts? 】

Its mechanical voice has no ups and downs. Ye He once complained about its lack of emotion, but now he feels that the other party's voice sounds very calm, enough to comfort him now.

Ye He calmed down a bit, trying not to let himself cry: "I think it's the housekeeper."

system:【.......】

Hearing Ye He's words, the system's heart tightened.Before, it thought Ye He was unresponsive and easy to fool, but now it seems that the other party's insight is very keen, and he can recognize ghosts at a glance.

System: [...Why do you think so? 】

Ye He took a deep breath and calmed down before he had the courage to continue: "Because he always orders me around, he is not a human being."

System: [I think you seem to be swearing. 】

It is because it thinks highly of Ye He that it actually thinks that Ye He can really recognize it. It is obvious that the other party is blinded by personal enmity and luck.

The system is glad that it just asked Ye He the reason, otherwise if it directly asked how the other party knew, it would have directly leaked that it knew about this matter.

Ye He felt that what he said was very reasonable. He had previously felt that the housekeeper was very narrow-minded and completely unhuman.No wonder Jenny's sister told him to be careful of the housekeeper before. Thinking of the moments when he was so angry with the housekeeper before, Ye He realized that he had missed danger countless times.

When facing humans, Ye He still had the courage to strike hard, but when facing ghosts, he just wanted to shrink back in the corner obediently.

Ye He: "And he asked the three of us to come over, is he planning to deal with me? After all, you know the relationship between the two of us."

System: [How could the housekeeper be a ghost?Think about it, if you were a ghost, you would still work diligently here?Salary is not paid by Mingbi, unless he is here to realize his self-worth. 】

Ye He: "..."

A ghost talks about self-worth, and it sounds like the sense of horror is reduced a lot in an instant.

And according to the system, it is impossible for A Jiang and He Yan to be ghosts.

Ye He was still worried, and kept staring at the shadows on the wall from the corner of his eye: "But there are only three shadows on the wall."

The system opened its eyes and said nonsense: [There are three, but He Yan and the housekeeper walked too close, and the shadows of the two people were reflected together. If you don't believe me, take a closer look. 】

Ye He mustered up the courage to turn his head, and quickly glanced at the first shadow.On closer inspection, this first shadow does look like two shadows fused together.

Ye He seemed to have completed a bungee jump, and his heart suddenly fell back into his stomach: "Yes, it really does."

Hearing Ye He's words, the system couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It didn't expect Ye He to dare to look up to observe the first shadow this time. Fortunately, its psychological suggestion seemed to have some effect.

Of course, thanks to this shadow being so abstract, it is completely impossible to see who is who.

The system said affectionately in a mechanical voice with no ups and downs: [Don't be afraid, I will protect you even if there are ghosts. 】

Ye He had already relaxed at this time, pretending to be calm: "Who is afraid of ghosts! But I can listen to how you protect me."

He was indeed curious about how the system would protect it, after all, the other party resided in his consciousness.But I have to say, upon hearing what the system said, a bit of warmth slowly trickled into Ye He's heart.

System: [I will pray for you in my heart, and hope that the Lord God will bless you from this terrible situation. 】

Ye He became angry from embarrassment: "Thank you so much."

According to the protection method of the system, he can completely think about the funeral.

What Ye He didn't know was that A Jiang, who was following him, saw that he always turned his head to look at the wall, and followed him, and then found three shadows on the wall.

A Jiang just took a look, then turned back, and continued to walk forward in silence, without showing the slightest abnormality.However, in fact, he has already screened out in his heart who is the person without shadow - he and He Yan are definitely not, and Ye He's reaction is not quite similar, so the only one left is the housekeeper.

However, A Jiang felt that Ye He's reaction was strange. After all, he had experienced many dungeons. Even NPCs living in dungeons with ghost backgrounds would cry or shout when they realized the existence of ghosts. Shouting loudly caused a lot of trouble for the player's mission, but Ye He's reaction was too conspicuous among the NPCs.

Knowing that he was just a false alarm, Ye He immediately let go of his heart, followed He Yan in front and continued to walk forward. The steps were longer than what he saw. Ye He walked for seven or eight minutes. The butler just stopped.

When Ye He stepped down the last step, the butler had already taken out a key and was opening the iron door in front of him.

The author has something to say:

Ye He: It’s a really reliable system (commentary)

System: Why do you need to add parentheses?
