Chapter 200: Phantoms of the Past

"Kim?" I looked at Peng Zhe in a daze, and suddenly remembered...... It is true that many people have changed their surnames to this.

But I didn't expect it to be like this, no wonder the father wanted to marry his daughter to a rich man, at that time the royal family had already declined, even if it was a descendant, it was no different.

Only that kind of ancient and stereotypical person will feel that such an identity is a symbol of nobility, and the family that wants to marry ...... I guess it's also an old conservative, right?

"Then the daughter of his family......"

"His daughter seems to have been married, but then there is no news, and no one knows where she got married." Peng Zhe shrugged helplessly.

It seems that there is no mention of this in the book, it is all about his firstborn son......

The rest of the story wasn't much introduced, except that he had a daughter.

"What's wrong with you making such a fuss, are you suddenly interested in history?" Peng Zhe looked at me strangely.

"I didn't ...... I just suddenly wanted to know who his daughter was...... "I quickly waved my hand, history is a hard injury for me, and I basically didn't pass it when I was in high school before."

Not to mention now, it's all back to the teacher.

"Forget it, let's go to class first, who knows why you suddenly changed sex......" Peng Zhe waved his hand.

……

At the end of the day, I didn't listen to a word, all thinking about what I saw last night.

I secretly made up my mind that I was going to go again tonight, and maybe I could see more things.

But when I stood at the door of No. 28 Mingfu New Street, I began to hesitate in my heart, do I really want to go in now? But...... Will today be the same as yesterday?

Still is...... What else will happen next?

My heart was pounding, and I stood in the doorway hesitating.

The occasional passer-by couldn't help but glance back at me, who could stand at the door of the haunted house...... I'm afraid it's amazing in their hearts, right?

"You want to go in?" At this moment, a strange voice suddenly sounded in my ears, and I was startled and immediately turned around-

But I didn't see anyone!?

Where did that voice come from!?

My heart was pounding with fear, and slowly a bad premonition gradually rose in my heart......

"I'm here." Then, as if telling me, the strange voice reached my ears again......

The voice...... It seems to be coming from behind......

I slowly turned around—

I saw an old man with a hunched waist...... Right behind me! I was stunned!

The old man's piercing eyes looked at me unblinking, because of the somewhat dim eyes of old age...... But still with the sharpness of a dagger......

"Are you ......" I asked stunned, subconsciously taking two steps back......

only to find that he had already hit the door directly!

What the hell is going on? Am I ...... What's missing?

The old man looked ...... There is a hint of familiarity!? Why the hell is that!?

Have we met somewhere!?

But he just looked at me directly, and I slowly felt a little weak, could it be that this old man had something to do with this villa? He happened to see me when I went in?

But......

"Follow me." He spoke slowly, and then walked down the steps on crutches and went around to the back of the room!

I was secretly shocked in my heart, I didn't expect him to take me to the backyard of the villa! I've really never been there!

But when I followed him to the back of the road, I realized that there was already a fence here, but it was not locked.

Could it be ...... Where does he live? When I saw the light on in that little room, I was even more sure of this idea.

But as soon as I entered the room, there was a strange smell in my face, like ...... The unpleasant smell of clothes that haven't been washed in a long time.

As if he saw my expression, he glanced at me out of the corner of his eye.

I immediately held my breath and quickly sat down as if nothing had happened.

"Are you...... Have you always lived here!? I asked cautiously, only to see him nod slowly.

"I am ......"

"I know you." He interrupted me, and I froze in place!

How did he know me!? I'm ...... I've never been here a few times!

But he seemed to be familiar to me, and nodded slowly, which made me even more panicked.

What the hell is going on?! Am I missing something?

"Have we met?" I looked at him suspiciously.

"I'm the butler, and if you're not mistaken, you should ...... I've seen it. He explained, taking a slow sip of tea.

I froze where I was!

He is...... That young butler who was the first to see last night!? Why...... Why him!?

Doesn't it mean that this family has been wiped out!? Why are there still people alive!?

I couldn't react to the news for a while, so I could only look at him stunned.

But after he said this...... I know where that familiar feeling came from......

"Then you are ......" I don't know what to ask now, and my mind is full of questions all at once.

But when it came to his mouth, he didn't know what to say.

"Why am I still alive? I wish I could die......" He sighed heavily, as if suddenly caught up in his memory.

"If at the time...... I can stop something, maybe I won't ......" He seemed to open the conversation, I didn't dare to speak, I could only listen silently, but he seemed to be afraid of something, and stopped in the middle of speaking.

"You have the smell of a young lady on you, who are you?" He suddenly looked at me suspiciously.

I was slightly stunned, Miss's breath?

"You mean that...... The daughter of this family? ”

I saw him nod slowly.

"I contacted her with a notebook...... That's it. I quickly took the notebook out of my bag, and despite all the years that have passed, the cover is as low-key and luxurious as ever, except for the yellowing of the paper.

At first glance, it is at the shareholder level.

The moment the old man saw this notebook, his eyes immediately released a light, as if he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"Where did you get that!?" He suddenly raised his head and looked at me coldly, which frightened me all over my body!

I quickly explained, and he misunderstood me for being a thief or something......

But I saw that he suddenly fell silent, just silently looking at the notebook without speaking.

"I didn't expect you to ...... with Miss," he said slowly.

I leaned in, but I still didn't hear what was going on.

"What do you mean......" I asked cautiously, the old man didn't know how old he was, and he had lived to this day...... Why are they over 100 years old?

"Go ahead, maybe...... I really can......" He slowly raised his head, a pair of already dim eyes looking directly at me.

What can be...... I looked at him stunned.

"Go ahead, come in." He glanced up at the villa in front of him and said meaningfully.

I also glanced back, and I could clearly see the back of the villa through the mottled windows, but ...... The dark villa is not popular at all, so why does he want me to go in?

But he didn't explain, but looked at my villa like a person, and didn't speak for a long time.

I looked at him, but he didn't say anything......

I had no choice but to go out, and before going out, I looked back at him, only to see that he was still looking at the villa, and he didn't look in my direction at all.

But...... I came out a little confused, but when I detoured to the main entrance of the villa, I suddenly hesitated.

Should I go in or not? It seems that the situation has completely exceeded my imagination, what does this have to do with the old man's wife? Why is it ......

Click-

When I took out the key and opened the door, I didn't expect it...... A glimmer of light shone through the crack in the door.

I immediately blocked my eyes and slowly pushed the door open—

I saw the house brightly lit...... Exactly the same as it looks from the outside!

But when I stepped out with one foot, the light in the room disappeared all at once, and it was pitch black and nothing to be seen.

But when I got inside, it was a different story.

What the hell is going on? Could this family ...... I suddenly remembered the words of the driver that day, and it seems that this place has been called a 'haunted house', and it seems that it is not for nothing......

No matter where it looks...... It's all so weird.

But when I came in, the decoration in the room was ...... It seems to be a little different from before.

It's like ...... There is more of a hint of red, and the windows are also pasted with red window flowers, as if it is the New Year.

"I know you may not like him, but feelings can be cultivated...... Just like your father and I, we didn't see each other before we got married, and we don't ...... now."

"I don't like that!" Suddenly, a familiar voice interrupted the woman.

I hurried over there – and I saw it on the couch in the living room...... There were two women sitting.

That girl...... and her mother.

I'm sitting here chatting at this time.

"I just want to live my life, and I don't like him at all, let alone get married or something!" She yelled in refusal.

But her mother still persuaded, "Do you have someone you like?" Tell me about it? ”

But she shook her head: "No, but I don't want to marry a stranger—"

"The other party has a good impression of you, and I think you are very compatible in all aspects-"

"That's just what you think, isn't it just the right family background? What about the others? Have you considered my feelings? She suddenly got up from the couch and rushed back to her room without looking back.

The mother was left alone in the living room, sighing.

It seems that today ...... They had already met, but she didn't seem to want to.

I don't know what exactly happened in between, but I just know that she seems to be ...... Really sold.

I hurriedly followed, but suddenly I heard the voice of a man behind me.

"The invitation has been placed, let's pick a date."

I turned around in a daze, and saw the girl's father slowly walking out and sitting solemnly on the main seat of the sofa.

The mother nodded helplessly, as if she was also interested in this family business......

Knock Knock Knock –

I knocked on the door and when I opened it, I found the girl standing alone in front of the bed, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Are you here?" She asked without looking back, as if she already knew I was coming.

I nodded, and suddenly I realized that she couldn't see, so I quickly answered.

Hearing my voice, she slowly turned around—

Tears ran down her cheeks and dripped silently on the ground.

"You...... Nothing to do? I asked cautiously, not knowing how to comfort her.

She didn't speak, just looked at me silently.

"They should have decided, right?" After half a ring, she suddenly asked.

I was stunned, and suddenly I didn't know how to explain it...... But as if sensing my hesitation, she immediately smiled bitterly.

"Huh...... I should have thought of it a long time ago...... They told me to come back......"
