The old locust tree in front of the villa swayed in the wind, as if inviting outsiders to enter.

Behind the locust trees is a high foyer and round arched windows, plastered with white stucco walls, surmounted by light red roof tiles, and then continuous arches and cloisters, the whole villa looks unconventional.

Although it looks a little old, at least the owner's taste is not bad.

Just when Xu Ercong was looking at the villa, he suddenly noticed a squeaky sound, as if it was the sound of the floor being rubbed, very soft, but he heard it clearly.

Coming from somewhere on the second floor of the villa, Xu Ercong followed the voice and looked over.

One of the windows of the villa was half-open, and a red coat was hanging on a hanger and fluttering in the wind, looking like a beautiful woman slowly swaying her proud figure.

Just as Xu Ercong was about to retract his gaze, the window was blown by the wind, and the red coat was also blown around by the wind, slowly revealing the other side of the red coat.

The neckline of the red coat was half-open, and a thin arm full of terrible pale suddenly protruded from the neckline!

"Huh?"

Xu Ercong was stunned for a moment, staring at the window and looking carefully.

Five fingers, thinner than chopsticks, gripped the collar of the red coat as if something terrible was about to crawl out of it.

This arm looks like it's covered with foundation, pale and weird, the nails are pitch black, and it smells weird and terrifying from the inside to the head, it's definitely not a human arm!

"Ka Cha."

The flash light turned on, and Xu Ercong put down his phone.

He looked down and saw that the photograph he had just taken was empty, not even a red coat, only a half-open villa window, which was pitch black.

Xu Ercong looked up at the second floor of the villa again, and the red coat could still be seen in the window, it had been blown back by the wind, with its back to Xu Ercong, and the pale and terrifying ghost hand could no longer be seen.

"Are the ghosts so arrogant now?"

Xu Ercong touched his nose: "Before I even went in, it began to come out to scare me." ”

Although I am hungry, I still have to find a way to complete the mission, and I can't change to a soul fragment mission just because this task seems difficult.

This is not Xu Ercong's character!

The main thing is that he really doesn't have the strength to go to the next mission now, he is too hungry and tired.

"Squeak."

The door of the villa suddenly opened automatically without wind, and there was endless darkness in the magnificent gate, and nothing could be seen clearly. The half-open door seemed to be the mouth of a vicious beast, waiting for innocent people to throw themselves into the net, as if they were greeting Xu Ercong and beckoning him to come in.

Xu Ercong sat next to the villa, and did not go in for the first time, but began to search with his mobile phone, linking to the network of this world and querying the relevant information of the villa.

"Villa ...... at 111 Xiangzhang Road"

Xu Ercong searched for half an hour, and it was already completely dark, but he also had some gossip and official information about this world.

Obviously, this villa has died, more than one person, so much so that this villa has not been sold until now, and it is a well-known local haunted house tourist attraction.

However, half a year ago, after the bodies of several young people who were exploring ghosts were found not far from the villa, no one dared to come here.

There is a lot of news about the Xiangzhang Road Villa, and most of the news or folk information revolves around a red dress, and it is said that people wearing red clothes near the villa at night should be careful.

This information seems to be very reasonable, the information is very complete, and the chain of evidence is very sufficient, allowing Xu Ercong to roughly grasp the key information of the villa.

What surprised Xu Ercong the most was that among the few pieces of information he searched deeply, there were people who claimed to be villa explorers and Taoist priests who posted explanations.

Only by taking off the red coat on the red ghost can it be dissipated and no longer harmful, but unfortunately no one can do this.

Some of the dead didn't even have time to get close to the red-clothed ghosts, and they were killed before they even saw the true face of the red-clothed ghosts.

"It's a ghost in red clothes, and only by taking off its red clothes can its resentment dissipate."

Xu Ercong remembered this message, and then glanced at the villa.

"Don't worry! I'm definitely going in! ”

Xu Ercong shouted, then opened his suitcase and found a red shirt and a pair of red jeans, but unfortunately there were no red shoes.

After changing his clothes, Xu Ercong looked at himself: "It's a bit of a sass." ”

It may not be useful to do this, but Xu Ercong doesn't want to let go of any details that can be used, after all, he doesn't know how ghosts can identify humans, what if it's through clothes?

Well, it sounds like nonsense, maybe you can comfort yourself that you will be fierce if you die in red, and then threaten the ghost: "Don't kill me, I'm super fierce after I die, and I'll fight with you!" ”

Xu Ercong didn't know why he suddenly changed into red clothes, he tilted his head and thought about it, sorted out his thoughts, and then stepped into the red area of the villa.

......

[Dear players, the personal mission is officially opened!] 】

[Please find your soul fragment and obtain it successfully!] When you get close to the Soul Shard, there will be a quest tooltip! 】

"I'm coming!"

Xu Ercong shouted, strode open the door, turned on the flashlight, walked into the door of the villa, and entered the darkness.

The darkness of this villa is normal, not like the darkness in the passage of the Heaven and Earth Bank that cannot be dispelled by light, the flashlight shines through, and the place where the light is located can be seen at a glance.

No abnormalities were found, and no evil ghosts suddenly appeared to scare Xu Ercong.

Xu Ercong roughly checked the surroundings with a flashlight, then found the light button switch of the villa and turned on the light in the villa hall.

"Smack."

The warm orange light spilled down, but it seemed that the voltage was a little unstable, wobbly and flickering, and a few lights were still not on, and some corners of the villa were still in endless darkness.

"No one?"

Xu Ercong shouted in a low voice, then paused, and asked again, "Aren't there any ghosts?" ”

There was no response, except for his own echo, Xu Ercong couldn't notice anything abnormal.

Go to the second floor first?

Xu Ercong interrupted this thought, what if the ghost was hiding on the first floor?

Or search carefully first, if you can find your soul fragment in advance, and leave the villa after getting the soul fragment, wouldn't it be beautiful?

Xu Ercong began to inspect the first floor of the villa.

The first floor is mainly the hall, kitchen, bathroom, and two guest rooms.

The room was locked and couldn't be opened, and nothing unusual was detected by flashlight from the window outside the room, and everything was normal in the room, at least on the surface.

The bathroom was also locked, and Xu Ercong mainly inspected the hall and kitchen.

There are a lot of furnishings in the hall, it looks like a rich and noble family, the sofas are very soft, and Xu Ercong also deliberately lifted the sofa cushions to check whether there is any key information and clues.

No, everything works fine.

Kitchen.

Xu Ercong pushed open the door and turned on the light.

"Smack."

Under the illumination of the light, Xu Ercong saw the kitchen and dining room clearly, and he stopped.

An old man in a red coat sat at one end of the kitchen dining table with his back to Xu Ercong, and opposite him was a little boy with a restrained and even somewhat frightened expression.

This little boy is also dressed in red.

"Two ghosts?"

Xu Ercong frowned slightly, and he sighed in his heart.

All the information in the personal task, including the information that Xu Ercong himself searched, did not clearly state that there was only one red-clothed ghost in the villa, so it is indeed possible that there were two red-clothed ghosts in the villa area.

It's just that Xu Ercong himself had preconceived ideas and didn't take this layer into account.

The atmosphere in the restaurant was a little weird, Xu Ercong pushed the door in, no one spoke, the old man sat motionless at the table as if he was dead, did not turn around, and did not speak.

Only the little boy in red raised his head, glanced at Xu Ercong secretly, and quickly withdrew his gaze, glanced at the old man opposite in fear and fear, and then quickly lowered his head and stared at the food in front of him.

That's right, food!

The table is full of sumptuous dishes!

Fat beef in golden needle sour soup, stir-fried small rooster with millet pepper, crab roe tofu, saliva chicken, braised lion's head...... Many dishes that Xu Ercong knew and didn't know were placed on the table, and the wonderful food aroma rushed into his nostrils.

"Sss

Xu Ercong took a deep breath, and his stomach made a "gurgling, gurgling" sound.

Now the problem has become very serious. Take a look at the latest chapter of "We Are the Scourge Claw Book House" to read for free for the first time.
