The frightened crowd and the ghosts mingled in the corridor, staring at each other, as if they had all experienced a terrible thing, and walked uneasily to the staircase and walked to the hall downstairs. [No pop-ups. 】

Seeing that they did not speak. I wondered if they were all like me, hearing the strange sound of marbles.

I followed them downstairs to the hall, and the people and the ghosts began to talk as soon as they got there.

I listened, and sure enough, they were all talking about the sound of marbles they had just heard coming from the roof.

"This is more than half a step, how can there be such a strange thing"

"yes, I thought I was the only one who heard it, but I didn't expect you to hear it too."

"It's not just us, but even the ghosts hear it."

"Strange things, strange things, I didn't expect such strange things to happen here, and I would be restless if I took more than half a step."

"Who's to say it's not, those living people think it's a prank of our ghosts."

I heard people and ghosts gather to talk about it.

You can hear it, it's not just people. Even the ghosts heard it, indicating that the voice was not directed at a person or one of the ghosts.

However, although most of the residents who lived in more than half a step heard the sound, it seemed that nothing had happened, otherwise these residents would have panicked.

When the guests arrived in the hall, they did not go to the table in the hall, but flocked to the outside of the screen to find the shopkeeper.

I walked out with them and saw that the counter was already full of people and ghosts.

"Shopkeeper, upstairs..."

I saw a ghost about to tell the shopkeeper. Before he finished speaking, the shopkeeper waved his hand to stop him, and said lightly: "I know." ”

Then I saw the shopkeeper knock on the wall behind him with his hand, and two people who looked like shopkeepers came out of the counter, and as soon as the two appeared, the shopkeeper took out two wooden signs from the counter, and then glanced at them. Motioning for them to go upstairs.

The two of them nodded, took the wooden sign and walked out of the counter and went straight upstairs.

I saw that the two shopkeepers were holding black signs, which were different from ours.

Looking at the shopkeeper's expression again, I found that the shopkeeper's face was also puzzled and puzzled at this time, and he obviously didn't know what was going on with the sound of marbles heard by the residents here.

After a while, the two shopkeepers returned, but this time they were not the only two of them, and the two of them were carrying a man who was covered with a cloth.

The man who was carried by the two. I couldn't sense any breath coming from him, and if it was a man, he would be dead

The shopkeeper, who had always been plain, saw this scene, and the expression on his face suddenly became solemn.

"The shopkeeper, a ghost is missing, a person is dead, and the soul of the dead person is gone."

One of the shopkeepers spoke.

The shopkeeper's brow furrowed, and he walked out of the counter, and came over and lifted the cloth that covered the corpse.

The dead man's eyes were closed, and there was no pain on his face. The shopkeeper examined his body again, but found no injuries.

The soul of the deceased was directly extracted and died, and when I looked at the appearance of the deceased, I knew the cause of the deceased's death.

Seeing that his face looked very peaceful, he should have suffered no pain before he died, and this person should have died in his sleep.

"The shopkeeper, what dare to make trouble in half a step, isn't he afraid of a hell."

Seeing the deceased, a man stood up and said, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Yes, we've also lost a ghost, isn't that haunting thing aimed at our soul body?"

At this time, a ghost also unfolded.

The shopkeeper didn't answer them, but glanced up at the crowd, then his gaze rested on me, and then he turned to the crowd and walked over to me.

"I'm tired, and I hope that Shangjun can keep more than half a step of peace for the time being."

When the shopkeeper came to me, he ignored the gazes of other people and ghosts, and bowed directly to me.

Seeing the shopkeeper's posture, I knew that he must have seen my identity, but he seemed neither humble nor arrogant, and he only spoke to me politely, without compliments.

I nodded, knowing that this was extraordinary, and maybe I had said that something would happen here, and that was what I was referring to.

And as I can imagine, this may just be the beginning.

It's just that I don't understand what kind of thing dares to extract souls in this half-step, and what is the purpose of them extracting souls here

"I'll find out the truth."

I also bowed to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper didn't say anything more, turned around and returned to the counter, waved his hand and said, "Don't panic, everyone, let's go and rest, this matter will naturally be investigated." ”

After saying that, the shopkeeper waved his hand to the two shopkeepers and asked them to carry the bodies out.

As soon as the shopkeeper said this, almost all the eyes of the ghosts and ghosts looked at me, and their eyes were full of doubt, and they did not understand why the shopkeeper would leave this matter to me.

However, seeing that I agreed to this, these guys dispersed immediately, and they still had enough trust in this half-step.

When I saw the way those people looked at me just now, they didn't seem to know my identity, and it seemed that these ghosts had never seen me before.

Soon, the crowd of residents dispersed, and only the newcomers and ghosts were still waiting in line for the shopkeeper's wooden signs.

Although the shopkeeper's expression was much more solemn, he immediately buried his head in the new arrivals, as if he didn't pay too much attention to this matter.

Seeing this, I also left the counter and walked into the hall again, and sat down at a random table that still had a vacant seat.

I'm still thinking in my heart, plus the missing soul, this half a step should be regarded as two dead, I remember that my heart said that there is a mysterious power hidden here, and anyone who does it will be directly thrown into the hell by that force.

This illustrates the fact that it is very likely that two people died at the same time, which means that the one who extracted the soul took two souls at the same time.

Because if that being collects souls one by one, when he starts to collect the first soul, he should be sent into the Nose Hell by the mysterious force, so he does it at the same time.

Of course, there is another possibility, and that is that the mysterious power is ineffective against the guy who did it.

Thinking of this, I realized another problem.

The room with more than half a step should be **, and the room where people and ghosts live is in a different space, so how did the guy who extracted the soul do it to a person and a soul at the same time?

If his purpose is only for souls, then why doesn't he just collect those ghosts, why do he still want to do it to a person, you know, in more than half a step, the most people live are ghosts.

Also, after collecting the two souls, did he be directly sent into the Ah Nai Prison by the mysterious power of more than half a step?

Besides, where are the two souls that were taken away at the moment?

I don't know where to start, because I don't have the ability to sense ghosts here, but there are ghosts everywhere here, and I can't sense where the two missing souls have been gotten.

Well

It was at this moment that I suddenly sensed a familiar aura.

I hurriedly looked up the hall and finally saw a figure that I looked all the more familiar.

She was still dressed like that, in a white dress, with a faint sadness in her expression, which made her feel a little outstanding in the whole hall.

I saw that she was also looking around, as if she was looking for someone, and I wondered if she had sensed my breath and was looking for me.

"Meng Zhen"

I quickly stood up and waved at her, shouting loudly.

The voices in the hall were so noisy that Meng Zhen couldn't seem to hear me calling her, but she could see my waving hand at a glance.

Meng Zhen was stunned at the moment, and immediately walked towards me gently.

"Shangjun, why are you more than half a step" He Shengya blood.

Meng Zhen said in surprise when she came to me.

Meng Zhen's words made me stunned, listening to the meaning of her words, it seemed that she didn't sense my breath just now, and the person she was looking for was not me, she was looking for someone else
