Yu Xing searched the room again and hid some practical little things in his trouser pockets.

Other than that, he didn't notice anything more wrong.

In other words, there were only two ghostly things in the entire room, a painting and a doll, which had not yet reached the level of making the cold aura in his body surge, neither the source of the curse nor the sacrifice......

At most, it's a gadget that the source of the curse releases in advance to interfere with the deducer.

And one of them is not very well-behaved.

Yu Xing cleaned up and looked back, oh no, the doll was turning its head, I don't know when it turned around, and climbed a few meters towards him.

Looking at the little hand that it raised and didn't have time to put down, Yu Xing guessed that as long as he didn't look at it, the doll would be able to move, and his eyes fell on the doll, and the doll couldn't move.

It's kind of like one, two, three, wooden people.

If you are caught by a doll without knowing it, you may be cold.

Yu Xing frowned, picked the doll from the ground, and stared at it for a few seconds.

"Didn't you say you two were playing on your own?"

He painted the doll facing the front: "Look, it's you who are walking together, isn't it good to exchange feelings?" Come on, be nice. ”

Doll:......

The next moment, only to hear the sound of "pop", the doll's head is gone.

Yu Xing grabbed the doll's body with one hand and pinched the head of the doll that was forcibly pulled off with the other, and successfully divided the doll into two parts.

He then locks his body in a drawer at the bottom of the bedside table, and his head is placed on the opposite side of the painting, looking at the woman in the painting.

He nodded in satisfaction: "Well, that's fine." ”

After completing such a non-human act, Yu Xing closed the door and went downstairs with a silver-inlaid cane in his hand.

- There was no need to bring a walking stick, but he always felt that walking like this would save a few points of stamina.

Downstairs, York was playing chess with Airy, Susan was watching, Martha wasn't there, probably going back to her room.

Yu Xing went down to the first floor with no light steps and became a member of the onlookers.

The fire was hot, and the table was closer to the fireplace, and soon, a thin layer of sweat oozed from Yu Xing's head.

He saw that York's face was also red, but Airy was not hot at all, except for a little irritability because he was not as good as others, he seemed to have no sweat glands.

After watching it for a while, Yu Xing couldn't stand it anymore and found a cool place away from the fireplace.

After that, Mrs. Brown made dinner and went up to the second floor, and when they came down they all sat around the table, and Martha came out of the room, and Elle sat between Yu and York.

Her expression was not very good, and Yu Xing guessed that she had seen something in the room.

It was probably similar to what happened in his room.

Faced with a table of food, Martha whispered, "Can you eat it?" ”

Yu Xing: "I think I can." ”

Martha trembled and picked up a small piece of steak, and seeing that Mrs. Brown, Alex, and Susan were not paying attention to her, she asked, "What if it was a ghost?" ”

Yu Xing smiled: "It should be." ”

Martha:!? Then you are so calm!

She turned her head again to touch York: "Do you eat?" ”

As a result, York was already chewing in his mouth.

He swallowed slowly, giving Martha the answer with his eyes.

Martha wanted to kneel for the two of them.

She is actually the kind of player who is cowardly against the wind and waves, with thighs, she can be full of confidence and rely on her ability to go crazy to death, but if she really encounters ghosts, she will be cowardly.

She has not rehearsed many deductions, and now it is also the main quest stage, every deduction, she and her teammates have to hesitate for a long time on whether to eat something that may be made by ghosts, sometimes they are simply hungry, and it doesn't matter if they are hungry for a day or two.

However, the new teammates seem to be very skilled!

York glanced at her, then at Yu Xing, and felt that the comparison between the two was very interesting.

Martha is like a newcomer, and Yu Xing ...... This level of calmness reminded him of the first time he met someone, in the old site of the Republic of China, the female ghost in red was wandering, and that person also looked steady.

This game is a bit special for York, as the system prompt is different than usual.

Forget it, it's better to think about the present than to think about this.

He said to Martha, who was reluctant to use his knife and fork: "You don't eat this meal, and you won't eat the next?" If we stay more than one day, aren't you going to starve? ”

Then he patted her on the head: "Eat." ”

In Mrs. Brown's eyes, this scene is an expression of brother-sister friendship.

She looked at Airy, who was frowning when she was eating, and Susan, who had the music box on her lap, and sighed quietly.

……

Yu Xing thought that Angel and Mr. Brown could be seen at dinnertime, but neither of them came.

After dinner, he couldn't help but ask Mrs. Brown, "What about Mr. Brown, I didn't see him at dinner, is he okay?" ”

"My husband coughs easily, and today there are three of you guests, and he said he didn't want to come down and make a meal for you, so he ate in the room." Mrs. Brown couldn't fault her explanation, and seeing Yu Xing's puzzled face, she took the initiative to say, "I have already brought him food." ”

Yu Xing nodded understandingly: "I see." By the way, ma'am, do you have two children at home? ”

Martha, who hadn't returned to her room yet, pricked up her ears.

Mrs. Brown almost fell off a plate in her hand, but was steadily caught by York, who had been watching her movements.

York took the opportunity to say, "Ma'am, what's wrong with you?" Is there anything wrong with this question? ”

Mrs. Brown smiled and took the plate handed over by York: "I also have a daughter, her name is Angel, and she has not been at home lately. ”

Not at home?

Yu Xing glanced at the stairs quietly.

Not at home, why did the fake "Susan" specifically remind him to be quiet and not to make a noise to Angel?

Depending on the situation, Mrs. Brown obviously knows something inside.

Yu Xing's mind suddenly had some bits and pieces connected into a line - he saw Alex who was about to go back to the room, and deliberately raised his voice: "Miss Angel is old enough to go out alone?" So who is bigger Miss Angel or Airy? Is it Airy's sister? ”

"Angel, she's ......," Mrs. Brown hesitated, but Yu Xing's voice was useful.

Airy's footsteps stopped, and he turned around, his usual serious expression slowing down slightly, and Amber's eyes showed a hint of softness: "It's my sister." She's been out for over a month and I'm missing her a lot. ”

After saying that, Airy, who was not good at expressing friendly feelings, hurried into the house and closed the door by the way.

Yu Xing glanced at Susan behind the sofa at the right time, Susan was holding the music box and was about to turn the clockwork, but her expression couldn't tell whether she liked or disliked.

A few seconds later, a burst of music wafted out of the music box and filled the hall.

Mrs. Brown seemed to frown slightly, then stretched out, smiled and stepped forward to touch Susan's head: "That's good, baby, let's go play in the room." ”

"Hmm." Susan did not dodge Mrs. Brown's hand, but she was not very happy, and she ran back to the room with the music box in her hand.

Yu Xing got the information he wanted, and the corners of his mouth hooked.

Combined with all the information channels, he already had a guess about the situation of this family.

In addition, he has another idea - the five people in this family, including Angel, who is said to be "not at home", should not all be ghosts.

There must be living people mixed in.

Mrs. Brown went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, and the people in the hall ...... Or rather, the ghost is almost gone.

Martha: "Brother Roy, Brother York, you, are you coming to my room?" ”

At this time, there is still a while before bedtime, which is a free period, and it is a good time to communicate and discover.

As soon as Yu Xing wanted to agree, he received a deduction prompt.

[This is your first day at Brown's house, and you're tired from the journey. And the investigation is progressing slowly, and you all know that the most important thing is to find out the source of the night's singing and screaming, so be prepared to rest early. 】

[Please go back to your room, if you must exchange information, you need to deduct 60 stamina.] 】

This is not to let Yu Xing speak.

"......" Yu Xing didn't know if the system saw that he had found some key points, or if he didn't arrive at night, he set up three characters who didn't want to communicate, and it would be a big loss if he really wanted to deduct 60 physical strength, and Yu Xing could fall asleep on the spot after deducting it...... He now has a total of 60 HP.

Stamina is reset to zero, forced to sleep.

Forget it, he'd better go back to his room.

Sure enough, York also said: "No, it's a little tiring after a day of tossing, let's get some sleep first, after all, we still have to cheer up at night." ”

Isn't their mission to exorcise demons?

The three of them said a few words to each other, and York went back to the room first, and Yu Xing also went upstairs in Martha's tearless gaze.

There was still a cough coming from the Browns' room on the second floor, but Angel's room was silent.

Don't like to be noisy......

Yu Xing touched his conscience and walked to Angel's door, raised his hand and began to knock on the door.

"Knock knock."

[You knocked on Angel's door, HP -10]

Yu Xing didn't care, he remembered that the system said that he would only directly deduct his stamina when he made a key action.

The physical strength of the previous walking buckle was slowly ground by -1-1, and there was no hint of deducting the physical strength.

Explain that knocking on Angel's door is a key action.

So Yu Xing continued to disturb the people:

"Knock knock."

"Knock ......"

After dozens of blows, there was still no movement in the room, but Mr. Brown's coughing stopped.

Yu Xing ran away like a taunt, and swooped into his room.

Closing the door, he listened with his ear to the door for a while, and heard the door of Mr. and Mrs. Brown's room open, and a flurry of disorderly footsteps walked back and forth down the hallway, as if looking for something, but did not find it, and returned to the room.

"Mr. Brown can come out, and he doesn't behave like a normal person." Yu Xing made a definition in his heart.

Who is a normal person who doesn't ask, "Who's knocking on the door?" "What's the matter with knocking on the door?" Instead, just walk around the corridor like a patrol?

Confirming this, Yu Xing turned his head to look at the house, and the puppet was much more well-behaved after being "split up", and did not move.

For the sake of the night's action, it is indeed time to sleep.

Mrs. Brown prepared pajamas for them, saying that they had been washed and could wear them with confidence.

Yu Xing hesitated for two seconds, but still planned to change into comfortable pajamas and sleep well on the bed, although the chaotic space-time style in this deduction made him lose his phone and the alarm clock.

But if he wants to control his sleep time, he can do it.

There was a small clock in the room that showed that it was eight o'clock.

At eight o'clock in autumn, it should be completely dark outside.

Yu Xing changed his clothes, pulled out the quilt, turned off the lights, and the whole room fell into darkness.

He buried his head in the soft pillow, rubbed it a few times, and closed his eyes contentedly.

However, the word sleep may not have anything to do with him.

As soon as he lay down, before the quilt was hot, a gurgling sound appeared in Yu Xing's ears in the silence.

He rolled over and said to himself: yes, the doll can't climb without a body, and it starts rolling again.

At the same time, two pieces of news suddenly came to his mind.

【Main Quest Updated】

[Find a solution and not be killed by ghosts tonight]

The task that suddenly brushed out made Yu Xing's sleepiness dissipate a little, and he looked at it, this task did not conflict with the previous main line, it was brand new.

“…… Why can't I get a good night's sleep every time? ”

The irascible version of Yu Xing immediately got up, turned on the light, and the light flashed twice and went out.

Yu Xing: ......

Blinded by the dark light, he listened carefully to the sound of the doll's head rolling, trying to adapt to the darkness and look in the direction of the painting.

He could only see a little outline, but it was enough, and the ground in front of the painting was empty.

And in the cabinet at the head of his bed, there was a bang.

- The doll's body has also begun to bewitch.

Yu Xing rubbed his eyes and yawned.

The quest says that you can find a solution so that you don't get killed by the ghosts, which shows that tonight's ghosts have the ability to kill.

And this murderous ghost creature is either in the house itself, such as oil paintings and dolls, or random people from the Brown family come in and gank by knocking on the door and so on.

He was actually inclined to the latter, and if it was, the two restless elements in the room could be dealt with at will.

If it's the former, then he's now with something that can kill him, and he has to think about why the Brown family has lived here for so long without a big deal, but the "guests" will suffer as soon as they move in, what does the Brown family have to do with the little ghosts that can be seen everywhere in the villa.

Thinking like this, the doll's body suddenly stopped moving.

A few seconds later, Yu Xingmu grimaced and saw a small figure crawling up at the head of the bed.

It's the doll, and it's working so hard that it doesn't know how to put it together.

The moment his eyes fell on the doll, the unlucky doll didn't move.

However, it has frighteningly wide eyes that glow faintly in the dark.

After staring at Yu Xing for two seconds, the doll raised its hand in place and made a "want to hug" posture, and a childish and grainy child's voice came from inside the doll: "Mom! Mom! ”

Yu Xing's heart did not fluctuate, and he taught a serious lesson: "The gender is wrong, and there is still a difference." It's cheap to call grandpa, call ancestor! ”

But the doll didn't listen to him.

In the dark, the voice repeated over and over again, each one in exactly the same tone as the previous sentence, like a cassette repeater:

"Mom!"

"Mom!"

"Mom!"

"Mom!"

Ancestor Yu narrowed his eyes unhappily.
