“Rustle——”

A gust of air blew on the top of their heads through the small seams of the window.

Jina’s soft brown hair suddenly scattered with the wind, separating into two parts.

Unlike its initial appearance, Jina’s thick hair was unexpectedly thin. Being blown aside by the wind, the back of her head was exposed, and concealed behind her hair was actually a ghostly face that seemed to be either laughing or crying!

“Crunch, crunch…”

The ghostly face’s mouth drew back the corners of its mouth and started to continuously wiggle and squirm, creating a creaking noise that could make anyone’s hair stand on end.

The two black cavities on the ghostly face were directly facing Lu Ruichao, who was attempting to lay a hand on Jina. Seeing the ghostly face, Lu Ruichao’s movements suddenly came to a stop. His arm turned rigid and was just suspended in midair like it was stuck, looking extremely peculiar.

“Rustle——Rustle——”

Ye Shangyu did the same as Bai Yan. She pensively glanced at Jina’s hair before looking back, concentrating on the window and the wooden door.

After a long time.

Approximately twenty minutes of knocking had passed before the ‘person’ outside finally stopped banging on the door.

However, the sounds of leaving footsteps couldn’t be heard.

Everyone knew that the ghost had not left yet and was still standing outside the door.

Since the ghost was standing outside, everyone’s minds were tense. This time, no one brought up sleeping again.

In this situation, even if the players’ nerves were quite strong, no one would be able to sleep.

“Cuck-a-doodle-doo——”

The last two roosters in Xu Lanfang’s house began to cry in succession, the birds’ loud cries echoed, but from the beginning until the end, everyone still didn’t hear footsteps outside.

However, in the master bedroom where Xu Lanfang was staying, there was a sound of a door opening.

Immediately after, there were dragging and whimpering, metal and bumping sounds.

All kinds of noises mixed and mingled together, causing everyone’s minds to become shocked. Bai Yan obtained everyone’s approval and quietly raised the window curtain by a bit, only to see a small cart situated in the yard and Xu Lanfang, who was moving a large jar.

“Open the door.”

Ye Shangyu suddenly whispered.

None of the players objected, and finally, Bai Yan cautiously opened it.

Outside the door, there was nothing there. Since Xu Lanfang was the only ghost outside the East room and she was already wearing her human skin and moving around, there was naturally no one outside.

Knowing that the ghost outside had left, the other four didn’t react, but relief was shown across Lu Ruichao and Ozawa Hiroshi’s faces, appearing more human.

Under everyone’s modest decline, the two went out ahead, taking the lead to leave the room.

When everyone was focused on the yard, Jina fiddled with her loose ponytail and smiled, saying, “Little girl, what are you doing up so early?”

“Pickling vegetables.”

Xu Lanfang exposed a bizarre smile, making people feel uncomfortable when they see it.

The large jar on the ground was entirely colored in a shade of fermented soybeans, looking to weigh at least a hundred kilograms, but this time, no one offered to help Xu Lanfang.

They all stared and witnessed firsthand how Xu Lanfang moved the large jar onto the cart. Even if a suspicious sound came from inside the jar, they still didn’t say a word, letting Xu Lanfang push the cart through the gate.

“What’s inside the jar?”

Waiting for Xu Lanfang to leave, Jina muttered, “What a large jar, and the contents inside are still alive. Could it be…”

She didn’t finish her sentence when Bai Yan and Ye Shangyu rushed into the living room.

On the bed, the paralyzed old lady sitting on the bed was already nowhere in sight. The fingernail scratched on the quilt could be seen. It was obvious that before she was dragged away, the old woman was struggling to keep her life.

“Xu Lanfang’s grandmother was inside the jar.” Looking at the chaotic bed, Bai Yan felt a bit of regret.

‘Xu Lanfang’ was too hurried with abducting her grandmother, so there was no doubt that this indicated that Xu Lanfang’s parents had also already turned into ghosts.

Xu Lanfang’s family still had one living person. If her grandmother was alive, then her parents wouldn’t have disappeared.

Bai Yan didn’t care about what the already turned ghostly couple was doing in the city. He only regretted that if he had known earlier, then he would have struck his hand against the old woman last night!

Unfortunately, early knowledge couldn’t be bought by thousands of gold. Missing this chance, he didn’t dare uncover ‘Xu Lanfang’s’ facade and pull out the old lady from the jar. He could only helplessly accept this reality.

Not long after they came in, Ozawa Hiroshi also entered.

Looking at the soulless bed, regardless of it being an act, everyone’s faces turned unsightly.

As they silently went to the kitchen, everyone ate a few steamed buns leftover from last night’s dinner and left the house.

Xu Lanfang transported the old lady far away, and there was no one left in the house. Looking at it, this farmhouse also looked like it was inhabitable.

“It would be best if we stayed together and not separate.”

Walking out of the farmhouse, Ozawa Hiroshi suddenly said, “This is the last day, it would be better if we weren’t scattered.”

“Are you an idiot? We still haven’t found any clues to control the ghost, going together would decrease our efficiency. What will we do when it’s already night?” Jina was unrestrained in breaking him off. Her harsh tone was the complete opposite of her sweet-looking face, “Let’s do this. You and Lu Ruichao head to the farmland, and us four would look for clues by talking to the villagers. When its noon, we’ll gather in the farmlands.”

“I agree.”

“Let’s do that.”

Ozawa Hiroshi was reluctant towards Jina’s suggestion, but seeing that everyone agreed, he could only resentfully leave with Lu Ruichao tailing him from behind.

Seeing that the two were heading towards the farmlands, the four relaxed, taking an agreed detour to the graveyard.

In the graveyard, the boy’s pelt had long disappeared and only a lone ball was resting on the ground, being blown by the wind from time to time. Rolling to the side for a while, and then rolling to the other side later.

Kicking the ball with her leg, Jina looked around them, and since she didn’t see a boy’s figure, she asked Ye Shangyu, “He died?”

“He died yesterday.” Ye Shangyu replied.

“It seems like you both left out a lot of things.” Jina tilted her head, facing Ye Shangyu, who was a head taller than her, completely unsurprised, while a large black man was standing behind her, her heart exuding confidence.

Jina used her little finger to take off the hair tie, saying in a sweet voice with a smile, “Those troubling ghosts are already somewhere else. If you both know something, then you should say it now. There’s no need to restrain yourselves. Rest assured, I’m certain that they can’t hear us.”

Jina pulled the hair tie off. In an instant, the soft brown hair moved on its own without the help of a breeze, and a pale ghostly face was uncovered at the back of her head.

The large black man was hardly alarmed by this as if he had known about this early on.

Jina showed the ghostly face a little before tying her hair up again.

After tying her hair, she raised her head to look at Ye Shangyu, saying, “Although no one has ever mentioned this in the forum, there are people who have transformed bodies and are capable of controlling the ghost inside them. I can feel you also have this ability, so what’s yours?”
