Chapter 17: The owner of the mansion
Chen Jiugang walked out of the corridor, but was surprised to find that Liu Qianyang behind him had lost track of him.
The place where we just walked out also turned into a vast expanse of white, as if there was a fog blocking it off.
"It seems that the owner of this house intentionally separated us." Chen Jiu scratched his chin. He guessed that his behavior just now had angered the owner of this house.
Originally, the other party was planning to send some texts first.
Now you are welcome and ready to take up martial arts directly.
The two of them are separated now, obviously in order to defeat them one by one, and Chen Jiu is released to the backyard. It is probably because Chen Jiu is considered to be a greater threat.
Immediately, Chen Jiu pondered for a moment and called Zhang Ping out, "Brother Zhang, there is someone inside, please keep a closer look."
Zhang Ping nodded, and his whole body was like a wisp of smoke, instantly getting into the fog.
As a resentment-level ghost and the boss of the previous single-player dungeon, with Zhang Ping's strength, there is no problem at least in saving Liu Qianyang's life, not to mention clearing this survival dungeon.
He was not in a hurry to rescue Liu Qianyang.
The woman on the other side can survive so many times in the dungeon. Obviously, she cannot be an ordinary person. The reason why she can be so unscrupulous in the dungeon is because she is a ghost.
But the other party, with the body of an ordinary person, is actually of a higher level than himself.
Chen Jiu wouldn't believe it even if he didn't order anything from the bottom of the box.
The ghosts here are really capable of killing people.
If you die in this game, you are really dead.
Let such people know their identity as ghosts.
Obviously there is no benefit at all.
Therefore, he can avoid Liu Qianyang in the next task.
After walking out of the corridor, Chen Jiu entered the backyard of the mansion.
This family's wealth is obviously richer than Chen Jiu thought.
In the backyard, there are seven rooms in the main house alone. In addition, there is a small courtyard in the backyard, with some chairs for enjoying the coolness randomly placed in the courtyard.
After confirming your goals.
Chen Jiu walked straight towards the master's room.
After opening the door, Chen Jiu saw the owner of the house at the desk in the main room.
He was wearing a black tunic suit and his hair was combed meticulously. When he saw Chen Jiu coming, he just raised his head slightly and motioned for Chen Jiu to sit down and continued to read the book in his hand.
"A ghost who loves reading?" Chen Jiu looked a little strange.
This was the first time he saw a ghost reading a book.
Due to the distance, Chen Jiu could only vaguely look at the word "human nature" written on the cover of the book.
"Ghosts read books about human nature?" Chen Jiu felt that his mind was a little confused.
Is this a problem with myself or with this copy?
However, Chen Jiu could tell that none of the ghosts in this house seemed to have any intention of harming him. Even the domestic servant ghost at the beginning made him angry to death, and did not do anything to Chen Jiu and the others.
And since he and Liu Qianyang entered this mansion.
The other party kept treating the two of them politely, and even gave them precious props to increase their attribute points.
Chen Jiu didn't believe that there was no instruction from the ghost in front of him.
As for the two eyeballs, Chen Jiu guessed that it was the ghost of the house servant who was unhappy with Chen Jiu and the two of them and took it upon himself to do so. However, judging from the attributes of the eyeballs later, it was estimated that there would be nothing wrong with eating them.
"Rule setting? Or do you ask for help from others?" This is Chen Jiu's guess.
Otherwise, it is really hard to explain why a ghost of a copy would be so kind to me.
"Mr. Liu, why don't we open the skylight and speak frankly? You are not good at reading books all the time. I don't know what you want to do." Chen Jiu was the first to break the silence and said.
Mr. Liu was a little surprised when Chen Jiu took the initiative to speak. Then he put down the book in his hand and said, "Aren't you afraid of me?"
"It's really hard to scare people like you." Chen Jiu said tactfully.
The ghost in front of me not only looks harmless to humans and animals, but also has a kind face. If it weren't for the clear vision in the yin and yang eyes, it would obviously be a ghost.
Chen Jiu would even wonder if the other person was the old man next door who loved to walk his dog.
Mr. Liu smiled hoarsely, shook his head and said, "It's been a long time since I met someone as interesting as you. I hope you can survive."
"Survive?" Chen Jiu raised his eyebrows.
Doesn't what the other party means by saying this doesn't determine whether he can survive?
But as the owner of the mansion, he can't let people live. Who can?
Is it the Master Huai that the servant ghost talks about?
Chen Jiu originally wanted to continue asking, but the owner of the house just made up his mind and refused to speak no matter what Chen Jiu said.
In desperation, Chen Jiu could only continue to search other rooms.
There are many wing rooms in the backyard, but most of them are empty.
Only the side rooms that symbolized the owner and the owner's children had signs of human habitation, and Chen Jiu naturally saw these ghosts in these rooms.
Just weird.
Although these ghosts despised themselves and even showed disgust, without exception, none of them chose to harm Chen Jiu.
And in the room of the eldest son of the owner of the house.
Chen Jiu also saw a family photo.
This is a photo of a family of seven. In addition to the owner of the house and his wife, there are also his three sons and a daughter.
There was also a person whose head had a big cross drawn through it.
In the photo, this family looks very harmonious, but it is not harmonious at this point.
Chen Jiu thought for a moment, walked out of his eldest son's room, turned over and went to the warehouse, took out a shovel, and headed straight into the corridor filled with white mist.
And the white mist didn't stop him this time.
Instead, he made way for Chen Jiu to walk through.
I turned to the front yard and dug into the locust tree that was more than 30 meters high.
As Chen Jiu shoveled shovel after shovel, the soil gradually piled up, gradually forming a small slope.
"boom!"
It was dug to a depth of about two meters.
There was a crisp sound in Chen Jiu's ear.
After hearing the sound, Chen Jiu suddenly became energetic and swung the shovel more vigorously. In less than ten minutes, the outline of the underground things gradually appeared.
It turned out to be a skeleton!
