Chapter Thirty-Eight: Weird
Although they burned the coffin and Hu Daniu's house with a fire, whether this had any effect or not, whether it was Xia Qi or Leng Yue's heart, there was no bottom in their hearts.
As for why they returned to Old Chen's family in time, it was mainly because the female ghost might chase and kill him again at any time, and because some equipment and materials were also there.
Some of them rushed into the courtyard of Old Chen's family with all their strength, Xia Qi and Leng Yue didn't care about what happened to Chen Cong's side, and went directly back to the house where they stayed before.
Two large travel bags stood prominently on the table, and each of them opened one, took out compressed food and mineral water, and began to eat by himself.
Compared with Xia Qi's exaggerated eating appearance, Leng Yue still behaved very elegantly, or he didn't gobble up a lot of things, but just ate two packs of beef jerky and drank some electrolyte water.
"We can't stay in a closed environment for long, eat quickly, and we'll leave when we're done."
After replenishing some food, Cold Moon seemed to be in a noticeably better state.
"Well, I don't know what's wrong, I'm so hungry, the more I eat, the more hungry I get, the more hungry I want to eat."
Xia Qi said vaguely while chewing the food in his mouth.
"It should have something to do with your evil spirit constitution and the curse of that terrible ghost."
Xia Qi naturally knew that he couldn't stay too long, so after listening to Leng Yue's words, he didn't eat much and swallowed the food in his mouth directly, and hung the travel bag on the table on his back and said:
"Let's go."
Following Leng Yue out of Old Chen's family, Xia Qi suddenly had a feeling that he didn't know where to go, he glanced at Leng Yue and found that Leng Yue was also confused.
"We're not going to be standing here until tomorrow morning, I'm all freezing right now."
Saying that, Xia Qi shivered uncontrollably, and he really felt so cold.
"No way, if that ghost still exists, we will be killing ourselves by staying in a closed environment. Truth be told, there's not much I can do to hold it off. ”
Through this period of contact, the advantages and disadvantages of Leng Yue are already very clear in Xia Qi's eyes, and it is not counted that Leng Yue is sometimes overflowing with kindness, and his advantage when executing events is that he can spell, which can play a role in protecting and resisting ghosts to a certain extent.
As for his shortcomings, he rarely does things through his brain, and he doesn't know how to rush at all.
So as soon as he brought up the question of what they should do next, he felt that he was wrong, and that he should find his own way to do this kind of thing.
"It's not a way for us to stand here stupidly, let's go over there and analyze this incident again."
Leng Yue seemed to be accustomed to Xia Qi's identity as a think tank, so she didn't say anything, nodded and walked forward side by side with Xia Qi.
"Boss Chen and the others should have been killed by the ghosts, so it stands to reason that the resentment of the ghosts should be eliminated. But because of our meddling, we are also likely to be the object of a new round of hatred.
This is evident from the lack of any reaction from our honor sheet. ”
At the end of each incident, the honor table is scored, so this is a good idea of whether the incident was resolved or not.
"Since we haven't been reminded that the incident has been resolved, it means that our burning of the coffin has no effect on the female ghost, and we need to continue to stay in this ghost place.
So the question is, what do we rely on to stay here?
Our implementation of this incident seems to have returned to the original point, and it has still become the original one, and we can't fight it head-on, and there is no way to resolve our grievances. It's just that compared to before, we know the ins and outs of this incident. ”
Regarding Xia Qi's analysis, Leng Yue agreed very much, and nodded in agreement. Xia Qi didn't talk nonsense this time, and was still analyzing it seriously:
"So what we need to do now is to build on what we've done, and then find a way to resolve this incident.
What did I work so hard for the past two days? Isn't it just to learn the ins and outs of this incident and know what kind of feud there is between Xiaoli and Boss Chen!
And now, we know the truth of all this. ”
Hearing Xia Qi say this, Leng Yue finally opened her mouth and said:
"We've learned the whole truth, but it doesn't seem like it's going to help us solve the incident."
"It won't be unhelpful, I think it's just that we didn't find out."
Xia Qi did not agree with Leng Yue's point of view, and after thinking about it, he said:
"We're in a bad situation, because we can't survive until we find a way to defuse the ghosts' grievances. We can't kill it, but it can kill me, and the reality is cruel. ”
"I can feel that its killing intent is already very strong, if it is allowed to continue, I think the entire Hulu Village will be killed."
After speaking, perhaps because she was afraid that Xia Qi would not believe it, Leng Yue added with some embarrassment:
"It's real this time."
"So you lied to me before?" Xia Qi's expression became strange.
"No, I never lie." Leng Yue said very seriously.
"I just like the feeling, don't you?" Xia Qi pursed his lips speechlessly, no longer dwelling on this matter, and said:
"If what you say is credible, then our situation is even more critical, and we must hurry up and find a way."
Saying that, Xia Qi suddenly thought of a possibility, and hurriedly patted his head and asked Leng Yue:
"Isn't there one thing you think is strange?"
"What's the matter?"
"It's Xu Chong's death."
"What's so strange about that." Leng Yue looked at Xia Qi suspiciously.
"How many families are there in Hulu Village? How many people are there? How big is the place? ”
Xia Qi asked Leng Yue three questions in a row, which also made Leng Yue a little confused:
"How would I know this. What exactly are you trying to say? ”
"I want to say that Hulu Village is such a big place, such a small person, a big living person is gone for no reason, maybe no one will find out?"
"No, it won't." Leng Yue shook her head: "But the people in the village may think that he went outside." ”
"Going outside?" This time, the shaking head was replaced by Xia Qi:
"We've been almost door-to-door, and we've asked about it along the way, but have you heard anyone mention that someone goes outside?"
Leng Yue didn't speak this time, because they had asked about this as early as when they visited house to house, but the people in the village were very traditional, and they didn't have the slightest idea of leaving Hulu Village, and they hadn't heard of anyone who had disappeared or died recently.
But in this way, things are very weird, because Boss Chen and they obviously killed someone, but this matter was completely unnoticed.
After telling Leng Yue his confusion, Xia Qi then asked:
"How do you think this matter needs to be covered up so that it won't be discovered?"
Hearing this, Leng Yue fell into thought, and it didn't take long to see him stunned, and said with some uncertainty:
Could it be that the slain is still "alive"? ”
