Day of Imprisonment

This boudoir wasn't actually very large; standing at the doorway, one could see everything at a glance.

As for the furnishings, there weren't many either.

A bed, a dressing table, a large cabinet, a washbasin, calligraphy and paintings on the wall, and a bronze mirror on the table – basically, that was it.

It wouldn't be difficult to thoroughly search this place.

The problem was, a vengeful ghost haunted it.

A very fierce vengeful ghost.

Currently, its true form was unknown; one could only see the many white silks hanging down from above.

When the vengeful ghost attacked, the white silks would fall, wrapping around the neck and hoisting the person up, strangling them to death.

No matter how strong a normal person's physique, it would be impossible to cope with it using their own strength; they could only use the 'Rebirth Sutra' in conjunction with the 'Buddhist beads' to offset the vengeful ghost's attacks.

But this offsetting was limited in the number of times it could be used.

If the vengeful ghost's attack frequency was too high, the time they had to search the boudoir would be very limited.

Therefore, they had to seize the time.

Luo Xi didn't rummage around haphazardly; his eyes swept across the boudoir, observing, while carefully analyzing where there might be clues.

Because before this, Luo Xi had already obtained some key information from Old Cao, the 'Fighting Grass Ghost'.

The most powerful and dangerous vengeful ghost in this instance dungeon was the 'Young Mistress'. The Young Mistress died unjustly while pregnant, which caused her immense resentment, and finally, on the night of her return, she became a vengeful ghost, beginning a massacre.

The Madam, the maids, and even the sutra-chanting master had all been killed by her.

But the Young Mistress's resentment still hadn't dissipated.

In other words, she still wanted to kill.

Then, who was she trying to kill?

This instance dungeon was very large; Luo Xi knew they had only explored a portion of the area, so other places might still be hiding people. If they could obtain some clues from the Young Mistress's boudoir, it would play a decisive role in them clearing this instance dungeon.

At this moment, Luo Xi's heart stirred; he walked to the dressing table and looked at the items on it.

A bronze mirror, some women's items, such as a wooden comb; opening the delicate drawer, one could see rouge, powder, gold and silver jewelry, and the like.

Just a cursory glance, and indeed, nothing could be discerned.

Just at this moment, Mao Ge shouted, "It's coming again, be careful!"

At this moment, Mao Ge's value had already been brought into play.

Because he could sense resentment, if ghostly things approached or harbored ill intentions, Mao Ge could foresee it in advance.

This gave everyone ample time to prepare.

For example, they could squat down in advance, find cover, dodge those white silks, and stay away from Zhou Fang's hanged corpse to avoid being attacked by it if it turned into a zombie.

"Die, you must all die!"

The woman let out a sharp screech.

Luo Xi only used a 'Rebirth Mantra' to deal with it.

However, this time, reciting it once wasn't enough; he recited it twice.

"Namo Amitabha, Tathagata!"

Only then was the female ghost's attack resolved, but the Buddhist beads in his hand shattered two beads at once.

"This is troublesome!"

Luo Xi frowned.

That hanged female ghost could increase the intensity of the attacks; in this way, to resolve them, they would have to pay twice the price as before.

Now, there were only seven Buddhist beads left.

How long could they last like this? It was really hard to say.

Perhaps next time, they might all shatter.

"Hurry up!"

Luo Xi shouted.

"I found something!"

Ke Lan said over there, and immediately took something from the bed in the boudoir and jumped down.

This guy had been hiding inside just now, not afraid of bad luck.

"There are letters!"

In his hand, he was indeed holding a stack of letters, several of them.

Luo Xi immediately took them and opened them to read.

Immediately, his eyes lit up.

"It should be this!"

The letters, or rather, love letters, were all written to the Young Mistress by someone; the words revealed love and longing. Of course, if modern women saw these extremely literary sweet words, they might not take them seriously, but the Young Mistress's setting was that of a rich family's daughter in ancient times who didn't leave her home easily, so being conquered and falling for him became inevitable.

Luo Xi quickly checked.

He already had a preliminary plan in mind.

Luo Xi then stuffed the sutra and Buddhist beads in his hand to Mao Ge.

"When that ghost comes later, chant sutras and twirl the beads."

After speaking, he directly picked up his phone to illuminate and spread out all the letters, while letting Ke Lan continue to look for clues.

Perhaps there were more.

Or perhaps there weren't.

But looking for them wouldn't hurt.

Not mentioning the pressure on Mao Ge, nor talking about Ke Lan and Hou Cheng who were rummaging through the cabinets, Luo Xi was now checking the letters at the fastest speed, and would even pick some up to examine them carefully.

Soon, the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a meaningful smile.

"So that's how it is… I was saying, this guy was stammering before, as if he was hiding something."

In the next moment, a cold wind howled.

"It's coming, everyone be careful!" Mao Ge's voice was nervous.

Obviously, this attack might be different from the previous ones.

Otherwise, Mao Ge wouldn't have reacted like this.

At the same time, crying sounds came from the surroundings.

At first, it was whimpering, then, as if the sadness was even greater, it began to sob uncontrollably.

Accompanied by a woman's weeping: "Miss, you're gone, I don't want to live anymore either."

"They harmed you, it's the Madam, it's that stinky monk from the Longlong Temple, it's that heartless and ungrateful scoundrel who abandoned you… He betrayed you, Miss."

"I want to avenge Miss, I want to kill all the men in the world, kill, kill, kill…"

The sense of terror and danger was almost like countless sharp blades, stabbing from all directions, making people's hair stand on end and their hearts race wildly.

Mao Ge finally began to chant sutras.

This time, he chanted four sentences before it had an effect.

The surrounding darkness began to dissipate, countless white silks also retracted, and the hanged corpse returned to calm, but Luo Xi knew that they had no trump cards left to resist the vengeful ghost's attacks.

Because the seven remaining beads on the Buddhist beads in Mao Ge's hand shattered all at once at this moment!

Including the ones that had only cracked before, they all shattered, leaving only a string.

"Luo Xi, what do we do?" Mao Ge was also anxious.

Obviously, at this time, they could only retreat, otherwise, the next attack of the vengeful ghost would surely leave them with no place to be buried.

"Luo Xi, come over and take a look." Ke Lan suddenly shouted at this time, his voice trembling with fear.

Obviously, he had made another discovery.

Compared to Hou Cheng, who had been unproductive since entering, Ke Lan's observation ability was obviously stronger. He was the one who discovered the letters before, saying that he found them in the interlayer of the mattress under the bed.

If one wasn't meticulous and didn't have strong observation skills, it would be impossible to discover them.

Luo Xi quickly walked over.

"What's wrong?"

"Look in the bronze mirror." Ke Lan's face was pale, obviously this discovery made him feel unbelievable and extremely fearful.

Luo Xi looked at the bronze mirror on the dressing table. Luo Xi had observed this bronze mirror at the beginning, but it was just a hazy mist on it. After all, the light in the room was poor, and the reflection of the bronze mirror was far inferior to that of modern mirrors, so it was normal to not see clearly.

But looking at it again at this moment, the bronze mirror was much clearer, mainly because candlelight could be seen in the bronze mirror.

There was no candlelight in the room, but the room in the mirror had it. Not only was there candlelight, but a woman could also be seen inside, combing her hair.

The woman's figure was graceful, and her long hair was black and shiny, but she was sitting with her back to the mirror.

Next to her on the table were candles.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!

And a little further back, there seemed to be a maid standing, but the candlelight was too dim to see clearly.

It was normal for Ke Lan's face to be pale, because in this situation, the scene appearing in the mirror was very strange, and it was easy to guess that the one combing the hair was the eldest lady, and the one standing next to her was the maid.

And judging from the words roared by the white silk hanging ghost just now, such as "Miss, you are gone, I don't want to live anymore" and "I want to avenge Miss", it is reasonable to guess that the powerless white silk hanging ghost is the Miss's maid.

With the main character in the mirror, it would be strange if Ke Lan wasn't afraid.

The Miss in the mirror just combed her hair quietly, once, and again, without any other movements.

As for Luo Xi and the others, the attack of the white silk hanging ghost could come at any time.

Because all the Buddhist beads were broken, they no longer had the ability to resist.

The best choice was to get out quickly.

Immediately, right away!

What's more, Luo Xi had already found a crucial 'clue'.

But at this moment, the scene in the mirror seemed to foreshadow something else.

Luo Xi was not an indecisive person, let alone entangled.

He made a decision almost instantly.

"Run, leave here first."

"Ah!" As soon as Ke Lan heard this, he immediately said: "But in this mirror, there are obviously new clues, which may be related to clearing the level."

"Run, run with the mirror!"

Luo Xi stepped forward and directly held the bronze mirror in his arms. When Ke Lan saw this, he was stunned. By the time he reacted, Luo Xi had already run to the door.

He hurriedly chased after him.

As for Hou Cheng, he had already rushed out the moment Luo Xi said to run. He was really scared out of his wits. Staying in this haunted boudoir for one more second was a huge torment for him.

He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he rushed outside and pressed his pounding chest.

"I will never challenge this level of difficulty again."

Hou Cheng kept muttering. Without asking, everyone knew that his last escape from the haunted house was definitely incomparable to the current difficulty.

Looking back, a woman could be vaguely seen hanging from the roof beam in the opened room, swaying and smiling at the people outside.

The next moment, the door slammed shut.

And Wu Rui and Guo Zening, who were originally waiting outside, also saw this scene, and their scalps were numb.

As for the scholar they were watching, he was shaking like a sieve, his face was bloodless, and he was already paralyzed on the ground.

"Help him up!"

Luo Xi said.

Wu Rui and Guo Zening immediately supported the scholar.

Luo Xi first handed the bronze mirror to Ke Lan, who was taken aback, but dared not refuse, but holding it was like holding a hot potato, and his expression was extremely painful.

Taking off the cloth bag from the scholar, Luo Xi opened it and looked at it.

Inside were pens, ink, paper, some books, clothes, and some silver.

Opening the paper, there were words on it, which should have been written by the scholar.

Then he took out the letters found in the boudoir and opened them, placing them together for comparison.

"The handwriting is the same!"

Almost at a glance, Luo Xi could be sure.

As for the scholar, his eyes widened and he was extremely frightened when he saw Luo Xi take out those love letters.

"The person who had an affair with the eldest lady is you!"

"I..."

"Shh!" Luo Xi made a gesture to stop him: "No need to explain, and I don't have time to listen. A selfish person who deceives others, even after the other party is pregnant with your child and dies unjustly, can feel nothing, and even suggests that your aunt burn the body and destroy the evidence. Most of the words spoken are lies. But you are very smart. Before, you were talking in circles, without saying a single key point, so what you said was the truth, but you almost fooled me."

The scholar's face was pale, with a hint of resentment hidden besides fear.

The others also reacted when they heard Luo Xi's words.

"Damn it, it's this bastard, damn it, hand him over and let the female ghost kill him. In this way, the female ghost eldest lady will be relieved, and she will definitely let us out."

Hou Cheng was overjoyed when he heard this.

"A beast-like thing, even death is too good for him." Wu Rui also had no sympathy for this kind of person.

Everyone was relieved while hating the scholar after knowing that this scholar was actually the heartless man who deceived the female ghost.

Doucao Ghost said that if you want to escape from here, you can only let the eldest lady eliminate her resentment. The other party has already killed the madam, and now killing this heartless man will definitely offset the resentment in the female ghost's heart.

In this way, clearing the level is promising.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple!" Luo Xi said at this time: "Is it really possible for her to eliminate her anger by handing this scholar over to the eldest lady?"

"Otherwise?" Hou Cheng asked at this time: "The situation is already very clear now. It was this scholar who betrayed the eldest lady, ungrateful and unrighteous, so the eldest lady became a resentful ghost after death. As the saying goes, grievances have their heads and debts have their owners. Letting the eldest lady kill the scholar will fulfill her obsession, and she will naturally let us leave. Old Cao, isn't that what he said?"

"What Old Cao said is to satisfy the eldest lady. He said revenge is just one way to satisfy the eldest lady. I ask you, what if she kills the scholar and is still not satisfied?" Luo Xi asked back.

"This..." Hou Cheng hesitated for a long time with this question and couldn't answer.

Because the possibility that the eldest lady is not satisfied is completely present.

The others also understood that Luo Xi's worries were not unfounded, so they all fell silent.

"The scholar still has to be handed over to the female ghost, but this level scene needs to be further explored. I feel that we haven't explored here enough, for example, the four ghosts, we have only contacted three. According to the current situation, we can clear the level without contacting the fourth ghost, so why set up the fourth ghost? Is it just to make up the numbers? Or is it just to increase the difficulty of the scene and add a dangerous point..."

"Of course, it may be that I am thinking too much, but sometimes, I would rather do 'saturated rescue' and do a little more to clear the scene, even if it eventually proves to be useless, it is better than doing less and leading to failure."

Everyone agreed with Luo Xi's words.

"Now you all wait for me and stare at the scholar."

After Luo Xi finished speaking, he walked towards Ke Lan.

The latter was still holding the bronze mirror, and didn't dare to look down at all.

Ke Lan is still very capable. When he avoided the white silk just now, his speed was the fastest among everyone. He reacted quickly, and I guess he had practiced something similar to parkour or fighting. In short, he had excellent physical fitness, observation and analysis skills were not weak.

He seemed to be timid, but Luo Xi could see that the other party had elements of acting and exaggeration.

If this bronze mirror was thrown to Hou Cheng, the other party might faint.

That's real timidity.

Concealing clumsiness, smart people always like to do this, understandable!

So the next thing is most suitable for Ke Lan to cooperate with.

Luo Xi walked closer and looked down at the bronze mirror.

It can be said that it is a strange scene. He has already left the house, but the scene in the bronze mirror is still exactly the same as when he was in the house just now.

Of course, it's not exactly the same. The eldest lady in the mirror has turned around at this time, looking at Luo Xi with extremely cold eyes.

Asking for monthly tickets at the beginning of the month!
