I work as a housekeeper in Guilou

Chapter 276 Killing a Certain Skeleton Immortal (Twenty-eight)

The sky is still dark and the sun is about to rise.

"Mom, we walked around the mountain several times but didn't see any sanatorium." The girl with thin eyebrows complained. The woman she was supporting looked haggard, with dark circles under her eyes.

Ever since her sister fell ill, her mother has been like a possessed person. When the doctor said there was no hope of recovery, she went to pray to gods and Buddhas. She heard a rumor from somewhere that there was a place that could bring the dead back to life.

"Besides, even if we find it, we don't have an invitation letter, so they will definitely not let us in." The girl with thin eyebrows heard from the group of people waiting at the foot of the mountain that they all came with invitation letters.

Seeing the haggard woman turning a deaf ear to her, she sighed.

That's it. She'll stay here for a few days, and if she can't find it, she'll go back.

Suddenly, she heard a deep bell sound.

She looked around and saw a nursing home at the end of the road.

"Mom, look, that's the nursing home!" The girl with thin eyebrows shook her mother's arm and pointed there.

The haggard woman looked in the direction and saw only weeds and thin trees.

The thin-browed girl noticed that her mother's eyes were dull and she couldn't find a fixed place: "It's right there."

She looked at the mist-shrouded sanatorium again, and remembered that they had just walked along that road, but there was nothing there originally, and she couldn't help but shudder.

"Forget it, I'm just dazzled." Just when she was about to ignore it and thought it was better to avoid trouble, her arm was grabbed by her mother and then she met pleading eyes.

"You can see, right? Can you take your sister with you? Can you take your sister with you?"

"Mom, please, Mom, please..."

Seeing that her mother was about to kneel down and beg her, the girl with thin eyebrows hurriedly stopped her. What was going on?
"Okay, I promise you." She stomped her feet, suppressed her disgust, took the baby bag from her mother, and put it on her back.

Her eyebrows wrinkled and twisted like a curved worm: "You go find my dad... Forget it, no one knows where he is, and he is unreliable."

"Go call the police."

What good could this eerie and scary place do? If she hadn't been unable to resist her mother's pleading, she would never have gone near it.

She walked a few steps and looked back, only to find that the environment had changed drastically and she didn't recognize the road here.

She tried to walk back, but no matter which direction she went, the road ended at the sanatorium.

Suddenly, there was a lot of noise. It turned out that the group of people waiting at the foot of the mountain were heading up the mountain in a group, which gave the thin-browed girl a lot of security. She thought that with so many people, nothing should go wrong.

She blended in and listened to the people around her talking big.

The pot-bellied man said mysteriously, "Do you know why the higher-ups are cracking down on these sects?"

"Because... they promote feudal superstition?" one person answered.

“Hey, if that’s the case, why don’t you destroy the temples of gods and Buddhas out there?” The big-bellied man retorted, his voice getting softer and softer. “Of course, it’s because those are fake, so we don’t care about them. And this, anyone who understands will understand.”

What nonsense, of course the ones being attacked are the most harmful cults. The thin-browed girl only dared to complain in her heart, she didn't want to conflict with others.

"Ah."

A cold snort was heard. The source of the voice was a man with thick eyebrows, who looked extremely righteous.

"What do you mean?" the big-bellied man whose ears had been pierced said indignantly.

Seeing that a commotion was about to break out, the girl with thin eyebrows quickly left and walked a few steps forward.

Just then, her wrist was grabbed and someone asked, "Where's your invitation?"

She looked to the side and saw that other people could get a wooden sign and enter by handing in their invitation.

Before she could figure out what to say, someone came to her rescue. It was a woman with a long ponytail.

"It's rare, God helps me." The girl with long ponytail sighed in a low voice, waved away the others, and let "her" receive them.

"You forgot to bring your invitation, didn't you? It's okay," the long-tailed woman handed her her wooden sign, "Here's one sign for each person, you can use mine."

The thin-browed girl took the dark wooden sign, and for some reason, her heart began beating like a drum.

"Are you here alone? Let me accompany you," the girl with long ponytail smiled gently, "That's right, let me introduce this sanatorium to you."

The girl with thin eyebrows was relieved to see that it was a woman, but somehow, when she saw the look in "her" eyes, she felt goose bumps all over her body.

"If you don't want me to guide you around," the long-tailed girl seemed to see her discomfort and said considerately, "I can also let someone else accompany you."

"Then..." The girl with thin eyebrows looked around and found that everyone had a smile of the same arc on their face, which made her feel cold behind her back.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she pointed at a blind man: "Let's pick him."

She looks like the easiest to deal with. If there's an accident, she can definitely beat him. Even if she can't beat him, she can at least run away.

Xia Qimiao who just came to take a look:?
She was stopped unexpectedly, and when she saw the dark wooden sign in the woman's hand that she had not yet put away, she took the job.

Seeing the long ponytail leave, the thin-browed girl breathed a sigh of relief and started chatting with the blind man who looked much more comfortable: "Hello, what's your name?"

"Just call me Ah Qi." Xia Qimiao took special observation and found that the other guests who came in were all holding light-colored wooden signs, but this woman was the only one holding a dark-colored one.

"Ah Qi, can this sanatorium really cure all diseases and bring the dead back to life?"

"Are you sure you want to ask me this question?"

The girl with thin eyebrows was choked by the blind man's words. She looked at the guide stick in the man's hand and understood what he meant.

If it were possible, how could the person in front of me still be blind.

Sure enough, they are all lies.

The girl with thin eyebrows was about to speak when she suddenly stopped breathing. Why did she seem to see her missing father?
"What's wrong?" Xia Qimiao noticed her abnormality and stopped.

"Have you ever seen..." She was about to describe it, but noticed the other person's sunglasses and sighed, "It's okay."

Xia Qimiao looked to the side and saw a somewhat familiar figure.

The small-eyed man didn't wait long in the hidden place. When he saw the thick-browed man, he wanted to make a joke, but now he didn't feel like it: "It's been five years, how come you haven't aged at all?"

"Only five months have passed outside." The thick-browed man looked at his master hesitantly. Although he said that five years had passed, he was the same as he was five years ago. He had not aged at all.

"It's only been five months, so I can still go back to be with my wife. So she's about to give birth..." The thick-browed man couldn't help but interrupt him: "There is bad news and good news, which one do you want to hear first?"

"You're trying to put on airs in front of me," the man with small eyes rolled his eyes almost invisibly, "You're a bad guy."

"The bad news is that your daughter has also come in here," the thick-browed man quickly grabbed the man who was about to leave, "The good news is that Taoist Wang knows her. With him by her side, she should be fine."

"This is not good news. Master Wang acted very strangely after entering here, as if he didn't recognize me at all. I originally thought that he was acting like this because five years had passed."

The boy with small eyes was anxious. Why did his daughter come here instead of staying at home?
"We have reached a cooperation agreement with the higher-ups. He probably came here for some special mission, so it's hard for him to recognize you," the thick-browed man tried to calm him down. "No matter how eccentric these aliens are, they won't go out of line when it comes to serious matters."

"And our people have already deployed and surrounded this place. If the situation is not right, we will definitely be able to save her. Don't worry..."

"Why are you laughing?"

The man with thick eyebrows noticed something was wrong. The person in front of him raised his mouth and showed the same smile as the person at the door, and behind him stood a woman with a long ponytail.

"Welcome to visit the nursing home. The play will begin at 2pm, and there will be a special speech afterwards. Now you can go to the cafeteria to try our special dishes."

"Special speech?" The thin-browed girl looked at the list she had just received, which stated the schedule for the open day.

"It was originally named Blind Speech, but Brother Ma thought that was not a good name, so it was changed to Special Speech." Xia Qimiao had been following this girl for so long, but he didn't find anything special about her skin. "Brother Ma is the woman who just spoke to you. Oh, no, that's a man."

"That's actually a man?!" The thin-browed girl shuddered, not daring to think about it, and abruptly changed the subject, "Where are we going next?"

"To the auditorium."

"It's so early. Doesn't the play start at two o'clock?" She looked at the watch and found that it was already twelve o'clock. "Time flies by so fast."

Xia Qimiao did not comment. She led people over, mainly because she thought the back figure just now looked a bit like the man with small eyes, and the two might know each other.

The thin-browed girl had walked around the hospital under the pretext of visiting, but did not find the door to the outside world. She could only hope that the hospital would close at that time, and maybe she could go out at that time.

The reason why she was still following this blind man was because she had been watching him for a long time and felt that he was inexplicably familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before. However, she should have had a deep impression of someone with such obvious features, so why couldn't she remember where he was...

"arrive."

The lights in the auditorium illuminated the entire stage. Actors in costumes stood in a circle, each with their hands clasped together, looking pious.

The woman with long ponytail stood in the middle, the knife in her hand was shiny and not stained with a drop of blood, and the skin, flesh and bones of the people under her knife were separated and neatly arranged.

"Is this also a performance?" The thin-browed girl was so shocked that her words were incoherent. The scene before her was truly beyond her comprehension.

The girl with long ponytail seemed to have just noticed someone coming in, and she said "Ah" in a pretentious manner: "I was planning to look for you guys later. Great, you guys came to my door, saving me the trouble."

"God really helps me."

As soon as "she" finished speaking, the door of the auditorium was closed, isolating the inside and outside.

Xia Qimiao ignored the panic of the people around her. Her eyes fell behind the long ponytail, where three people were hanging neatly. They were the team leaders of groups four, five and six that she saw in the meeting room.

The leader of Group Two has a long ponytail, and as for Group Three, it's probably just skin, flesh and bones.

Setting up a formation again? Xia Qimiao counted in her mind: the third, fourth, fifth, sixth team leaders, herself, and the thin-browed girl, that was exactly six.

In fact, she was cautious when there were originally six groups, after all, it was not a good number.

She had all the tools needed to grow a long ponytail, and it looked like they had been prepared long ago, which meant she didn't do it on impulse.

The person who sets up the formation will not consider herself as material, which means she should have had a substitute originally.

After thinking about it, Xia Qimiao guessed the candidate: it was Dean Zhou.

Dean Zhou and the team leader, Butcher Butcher, were both killed by her, so there were two people missing.

The reason why Long Ponytail didn't attack her yesterday was because even if she was killed, she wouldn't have enough materials for the formation.

It’s different now, there’s one more person.

According to the tone of the girl with long ponytail just now, she is going to make up for it with her and the girl with thin eyebrows.

This formation has certain requirements, and it requires special people. Otherwise, the person hanging on it will not be the team leader, but a group of extras whose identities are unknown below.

"Dad!" the girl with thin eyebrows screamed. She stared at the boy with small eyes at the end and confirmed his identity.

The girl with long ponytail followed her gaze and said, "So they are father and daughter. No wonder your concentration is so high."

Father and daughter, concentration. Xia Qimiao grasped the key words. It sounded like the concentration of something could be transmitted through blood.

She remembered that she was targeted by the servants of a skeleton fairy in reality because those people saw "light" on her.

According to them, all players have this light, and the strength of the light varies.

"Who are you and what do you want to do?" The girl with thin eyebrows was scared at first, but after seeing her father, she slowly calmed down.

The other side has weapons, and the two people on her side are either weak or disabled, so there is no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation.

Moreover, the other party had the tools to control the door, so they couldn't break in.

Then we can only delay the time until almost two o'clock, when someone wants to watch a play and the auditorium is closed. By then...

"Little sister, are you stalling for time?" The long ponytail revealed her thoughts and smiled, "It won't take even ten minutes to finish you two off. After all, when I cut you with my knife, meat is meat and bones are bones."

Listening to this description, Xia Qimiao felt it sounded a little familiar.

When “she” was about to untie the second person, she suddenly stopped and turned her head: “Blind man, why didn’t you say a word after you came in?”

"…I wonder if I'll be late for my 4 o'clock speech."

She was actually wondering what was going on with the schedule at the meeting. The process was clearly scheduled until 6 p.m., and those who were hung up were also assigned work.

Or was it just a trick to confuse others? To make people think that six o'clock was when the accident would happen, and that they would be relatively relaxed before then?
Looking at the small-eyed man who was hung up, it was not impossible that the person behind him might be waiting to break in at six o'clock.

The thin-browed woman was so angry when she heard her words that she dared not say anything. What kind of person is this? She was still thinking about giving a speech at this hour! She realized that the blind man could not see, and quickly explained: "This woman is killing people, and she is going to kill us too!"

"Don't believe her, she's lying to you," the long-tailed man realized this and waved to the blind man, "Come here, come to my side."

When the girl with thin eyebrows saw that he really went, she wanted to stop him. Although this teammate seemed to be non-existent, he couldn't really be non-existent!
But she couldn't hold him back and was dragged away instead.

No, why does this blind man’s strength grow stronger as he gets closer to the stage?
