Chapter 126: Caught in a Dilemma
To get back to the point, when the mirror was demobilized, He Fei, who had a complicated face, seemed to remember something, and then he hurriedly rushed out of the maid's room and ran towards the living room, while the rest of the people also hurriedly followed after seeing He Fei's movements.
When He Fei and his group ran back to the living room, the pale-faced Earl Holden happened to be about to get up from the fireplace, but the next moment, something happened that made the Earl Houghton and the old butler behind him stunned!
I saw that He Fei, who was the first to rush out, didn't say a word at first, and then casually picked up a knight's mace hanging on the wall for decoration, and then held the mace and smashed it against a floor-to-ceiling mirror leaning against the wall on the side!
"Boom la la !!"
Sure enough, the floor-to-ceiling mirror that was about one person tall was smashed, but in the next blink of an eye, the floor-to-ceiling mirror appeared intact in the field of vision of the Count and a kind of reincarnation!
"It's... This is... How so!? β
The Count was so frightened by this strange scene that he took a few steps back, and if it hadn't been for the old butler beside him to help him in time, he might have even sat down in the burning fire under the fireplace behind him.
Looking at the mirror in front of him that could be automatically restored in the maid's room, He Fei casually threw away the mace, and then slowly walked in front of the earl and said coldly, "Your Excellency, now you see, there are not only ghosts in your manor, but also a ghost with great powers, and I guess that this ghost is very likely to be related to the mirror, otherwise why can other things such as cups be broken, but only the mirror can't be broken?" β
He Fei's words were extremely serious, which also frightened the earl a lot, and his already pale face became even paler, so then the earl said to He Fei and the others with a frightened expression, "That... I'll leave it to you here, I'm not feeling well, and I want to go and take a break. β
When the old butler helped the Count upstairs, there were only a few reincarnators left in the living room.
Looking at the strange mirror in front of him, He Fei gritted his teeth and fell into contemplation, but just a dozen seconds later, He Fei sighed again, and then turned back to the rest of his eyes and said, "Let's go, let's go upstairs to rest, take care of your spirits, I vaguely feel that this may be just the beginning..."
............
Early the next morning, when a group of people came out of their respective rooms on the third floor, He Fei first rubbed his reddened eye circles and yawned at the same time, yes, since last night, a group of reincarnators have taken turns to keep vigil, two people live in one room, Zheng Xuan and Xu Hui have a room, He Fei and Zhang Hu have a room, Zhao Ping and Xu Chao have a room, Chen Yongming and Liu Hai have a room, and Cheng Ying is a separate room.
Due to the implementation of the vigil system when sleeping, the average person only slept in half the night, which caused He Fei to still yawn this morning.
After He Fei walked downstairs, he saw that the huge living room on the first floor was very empty and deserted, and it seemed that what happened last night had already been spread in the manor, so today seemed to be even more deserted than yesterday, that was natural, after all, it was haunted here, and nearly half of the people had died, so the living people were naturally extremely frightened, and they couldn't run away, so they could only find a seemingly safe corner in the manor to hide and pray that the ghost was not the next choice, and it was worth mentioning that although the earl said that the disappeared person was missing, but in the eyes of He Fei and the other reincarnators, missing is equivalent to death.
Thinking of this, He Fei couldn't help but grit his teeth, and then he came to the outside of the big house and walked to the clear water pool next to the door to wash his face, when a stream of clear and cold water touched He Fei's face, this also immediately made He Fei's spirit recover, but just when He Fei was about to continue washing, he suddenly stretched out a hand and pushed him aside, and at the same time, a voice came from beside him...
"Go, go, wash your face so slowly, real ink, let me wash it too!"
Yes, this person is Cheng Ying, looking at Cheng Ying who was washing her face at the moment, He Fei was silent for a while, and finally couldn't help but say to him, "It's too dangerous to sleep in a room alone, why don't you come to sleep in my room with Brother Zhang tonight?" β
But after He Fei's words of concern reached Cheng Ying's ears, Cheng Ying, who had just finished washing her face, first turned around, and then shook her head at He Fei and said, "Hmph, no need, I don't have the habit of living in a room with others, let alone the hobby of squeezing in the same bed with others, especially the thought of squeezing into a bed with that bald head at night is disgusting, living alone in a room sounds good, it is very quiet." β
Hearing Cheng Ying say this, He Fei's expression fell into hesitation, but then He Fei said again, "That... Otherwise, Brother Zhang and I will make bunks on the floor and let you sleep in the bed, so it's okay, right? β
After He Fei finished saying this, Cheng Ying's originally plain expression suddenly froze, and at the same time, a warm current in his heart finally hit his heart uncontrollably, how could he not understand that He Fei was worried about his safety? He even gave him the bed for his safety, but slept on the cold floor.
Although she understood what He Fei meant, after being silent for a few seconds, Cheng Ying finally shook her head and said, "Even if you are willing, I guess that bald head is not willing, so there is no need." β
"You don't have to worry, I can convince Brother Zhang."
"Forget it, don't mention it, the maids have just made breakfast and brought it up, so let's go eat first."
Cheng Ying returned to the big house after saying this, but looking at Cheng Ying's back, He Fei at this time had a feeling that he couldn't speak.
...............
Earl Houghton may have been really frightened since he saw the strange mirror restoration last night, and he did not show up for almost the whole day, but stayed in the bedroom on the second floor with his wife, and at the same time passed the word to Zheng Xuan and the others through the old butler, hoping that the princess and his servants would solve this terrible matter as soon as possible, and if the matter could be resolved satisfactorily, he would tell his brother Prince Solbay about their merits, And together with his family, he will also make a message to the queen, hoping that the queen will order to stop the British continue to send Ya tablets to the Qing country.
Therefore, when the old housekeeper left Zheng Xuan's room, Zhang Hu, who had already gathered in the room like everyone else, couldn't help but mock: "What the hell, what kind of bullshit earl is this, he is so daring, he is obviously haunted in his own house, but he still pushes the matter to us as a matter of course, his face is really not ordinary!" β
After Zhang Hu's words were finished, Xu Hui, who had been sitting next to Zheng Xuan, hesitated and said, "Maybe it's not his fault, after all, ordinary people will be afraid of anyone when they see such a strange scene, or maybe he is worried about his wife and children, so after seeing that there are really ghosts, he plans to protect his family every inch, right?" β
But as soon as Xu Hui's words fell, Zhao Ping next to him smiled slightly and said, "Hehe, Xu Hui, your idea is too naΓ―ve, that old guy is smart, he calculated that we are already trapped in this manor like him, even if it is for his own life, he will do his best to solve this matter, if the matter is really solved by us, then solving it is also equivalent to saving the lives of his family and all his servants, in addition, he also knows that most of the current Chinese hate Ya Pian to the bone, I hope that Britain can stop selling elegant films to China, if we solve this incident and save their family, it will even be equivalent to a great contribution to our own country, this is the lure, hehe, worthy of being a person who can be an earl, so calculating. β
The rest of the people didn't seem to bother Zheng Xuan with the argument about the count's character, so when Zhao Ping's words were finished, Zheng Xuan, who was sitting at the head of the table and seemed to have been pondering before, suddenly changed the topic and said, "As far as I know, there is a ghost hidden in this manor, and it is very likely that it is a person who kills people through mirrors, but through last night's practice, it seems that all the mirrors in this manor cannot be broken, so this leads to a inference." β
"What inference?" Zhang Hu on the side hurriedly asked.
"That is, ghosts should attack humans through the medium of mirrors, so ghosts will protect the mirror from people through special abilities."
When Zheng Xuan's words were finished, Zhao Ping next to him thought for a moment and then said, "If it is as you said that ghosts attack people through mirrors, and the mirrors cannot be broken, then wouldn't this be an unsolvable game?" Can we just watch this ghost slaughter the people of this manor at will? What's more, this slaughtered people also include us reincarnations! β
Yes, Zhao Ping's words once again put this problem in front of everyone, if you really can't find a solution to this matter, then you can only wash your neck and wait for this ghost to kill you.
So the next moment, everyone in the room fell silent again.
But... He Fei, who had never spoken before, suddenly shook his head at this time, and then said to himself, "No, I don't think that the curse will issue a completely unsolvable mortal mission, then for the reincarnation, it is simply torture, and I don't think the curse will do such a boring thing, so..."
Unexpectedly, before He Fei's words were finished, Zheng Xuan on the side continued, "So, I plan to talk to the earl's daughter Grace later." β
...............
Just when Zheng Xuan and other veterans gathered in the same room to discuss things, at this time, another room on the same third floor seemed to be discussing something...
That's right, there are three people in this room, and these three people are Xu Chao, Chen Yongming, and Liu Hai, who have almost completely separated themselves from the veterans since entering this supernatural mission.
At this moment, the three of them are also sitting around the table, as if discussing something...
To be continued...
