Chapter 19 - Manor Mist (19)
Ye He was afraid that he was wrong, so he took a closer look. But no matter how he counted, there were only three shadows on the wall.
He looked at A Jiang behind him, and at He Yan who was walking in front of him, they didn’t seem to realize that there were only three shadows on the wall. A Jiang noticed that he turned his head and looked over, and even smiled at him, but maybe it was because of the darkness in the basement, so his smile looked a little gloomy.
The light reflected by the oil lamp elongated and deformed the shadow of the person, and the three shadows were all like branches and had long hands and feet, showing a bit of distortion as they walked.
I don’t know if it was a psychological effect, Ye He even felt that the basement started to feel cold.
Because the shadows were elongated, Ye He had no way to judge who the other two shadows belonged to besides him, and who was the one without shadows.
Ye He can only turn to the system: “System, look, there are only three shadows on the wall!”
He tried hard to control the trembling of his body to avoid being found abnormal by others, but the fear in his heart gradually expanded like a ripple, and Ye He now even felt that every step he took to lift his feet was about to exhaust all his strength.
The system looked at the three shadows on the wall, and it was only after Ye He reminded it that there were only three shadows on the wall.
Ye He’s voice continued: “What should I do, the one without a shadow…”
How can people have no shadows? It can only show that the one without a shadow is not a person at all.
The system fell into silence and began to think about how to explain this matter to Ye He.
Ye He: “System, what should I do, my head is a little dizzy, I seem a little dizzy…”
When he thought that he was by his side with a person without a shadow, Ye He’s voice trembled a little. He really wanted to escape, but he couldn’t. Now he doesn’t even dare to stop, for fear of disturbing the two of them.
In fact, he really wanted to pass out now, but he didn’t know why, his nerves became so tough, and now he can still support him to open his eyes and continue to walk down.
The system wanted to ask Ye He why he didn’t directly say that he was allergic to ghosts. But when he thought that Ye He was so afraid that he was still covering up his fear of ghosts, the system became angry and funny.
System: [Don’t be dizzy, where is the ghost? 】
Its mechanical sound has no ups and downs. Ye He once complained about its lack of emotion, but now he feels that the other party’s current voice sounds very calm, enough to comfort him now.
Ye He calmed down a little, and resisted letting himself cry: “I think it’s the housekeeper.”
system:【…….】
Hearing Ye He’s words, the system felt tight. Before, it also thought that Ye He was slow to react and was very easy to fool. Now it seems that the other party’s insight is very sharp, and he can recognize the ghost at a glance.
System: […Why do you think so? 】
Ye He took a deep breath and calmed down before he had the courage to continue: “Because he always calls me, not a human being.”
System: [I think you are cursing. 】
It was it that looked down on Ye He, and it actually thought that Ye He could really recognize it. Obviously, the other party was born out of personal hatred and luck.
The system is glad that it just asked Ye He why, otherwise, if it directly asked how the other party knew about it, it would have directly revealed that it knew about it.
However, Ye He felt that what he said was very reasonable. He felt that the housekeeper was very careful before, and he didn’t look like a human at all. No wonder her sister Jenny told him to be careful with the housekeeper before. When he thought of the time when the housekeeper was speechless, Ye He was surprised that he had passed the danger countless times.
In the face of humans, Ye He still has the courage to strike hard, but in the face of ghosts, he just wants to shrink in the corner.
Ye He: “And he asked the three of us to come over. Is he ready to solve me? After all, you know the relationship between the two of us.”
System: [How could the housekeeper be a ghost? Think about it, if you were a ghost, you would still work diligently here? Wages are not billed in ghost money, unless they are for self-worth. 】
Ye He: “…”
A ghost talks about self-worth, and it sounds like the horror is instantly reduced a lot.
And according to the system, then A Jiang and He Yan can no longer be ghosts.
Ye He was still worried, and he kept staring at the shadows on the wall from the corner of his eye: “But there are only three shadows on the wall.”
The system opened its eyes and said nonsense: [It’s three, but He Yan and the housekeeper are too close, and the shadows of the two people are reflected together. If you don’t believe me, take a closer look. 】
Ye He mustered up the courage to turn his head and quickly glanced at the first shadow. Taking a closer look, the first shadow is indeed somewhat like two shadows fused together.
Ye He seemed to have completed a bungee jump, and his heart suddenly fell back into his stomach: “Yes, it does.”
Hearing Ye He’s words, the system couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. It didn’t expect that Ye He would dare to look up at the first shadow this time. Fortunately, its psychological suggestion seemed to have some effect.
Of course, thanks to the shadow being so abstract, it is impossible to tell who is who.
The system said affectionately in a mechanical sound with no ups and downs: [Don’t be afraid, even if there is a ghost, I will protect you. 】
Ye He has relaxed at this time, pretending to be calm: “Who is afraid of ghosts! But I can listen to how you protect me.”
He was indeed curious about how the system would protect it, after all, the other party resided in his consciousness. But I have to say, hearing the system say that, Ye He’s heart slowly sunk into a bit of warmth.
System: [I will pray for you in my heart, I hope the Lord God will bless you from the terrible situation. 】
Ye He became angry: “Thank you very much.”
According to the protection method of the system, he can completely think about the future.
What Ye He didn’t know was that A Jiang, who was following behind him, saw that he always turned to look at the wall, and followed, and then found three shadows on the wall.
A Jiang just glanced at him, turned his head, and continued to walk forward silently, without revealing the slightest abnormality. However, in fact, he had already screened out in his mind who the shadowless person was – he and He Yan were definitely not, and Ye He’s reaction was not very similar, so the only thing left was the housekeeper.
However, Ah Jiang felt that Ye He’s reaction was strange. After all, he had experienced many dungeons. Even NPCs living in dungeons with ghost backgrounds would cry or cry when they realized the existence of ghosts. Shouting loudly, causing a lot of trouble for the player’s mission, but Ye He’s reaction was too conspicuous among the NPCs.
Knowing that he was only a false alarm, Ye He immediately let go of his heart, and followed He Yan in front of him and continued to walk forward. The butler just stopped.
When Ye He stepped down the last step, the butler had already taken out a key and was opening the iron door in front of him.
The author has something to say:
Ye He: Really reliable system (commentary)
System: Why do you need to add parentheses?
