The next day, the investigation of the entire Grancia Village began, and Ling Wenxuan and Song Zixi discussed and divided everyone into two groups: Youna, Lan Lingxiang, Lin Yaoxi, and Xue Shaoling were responsible for collecting information about the west of the village, while Ling Wenxuan, Song Zixi, Gui Xun'er, and Shao Yan went to the east of the village to inquire about the village chief.

After a hearty breakfast, they set off, and Yuna walked at the back of the group, still confused by Lester's expression, and the old man seemed to hold back his anger and entertain them with a smile on his face.

I really don't understand where they offended Lester, last night four people, including Yuna, heard the coughing of the woman from the room, and when they were about to find out the reason, they were stopped by Lester, at his insistence, the matter had to be stopped, but it can be inferred that there must be a woman living in the red door in the left corner of the first floor.

"Cortana, hurry up for me! Don't blame us for leaving you behind. ”

Lan Lingxiang's shouting made Youna, who was in thought, wake up, and hurriedly quicken her pace to keep up with Lan Lingxiang: "Where should we start investigating first?"

"You ask me, who do I ask? I am not the one who said that he was flying around the village of Grancia like a headless fly. Lan Lingxiang spread out his hands and shook his head boredly.

"Then we should have a destination!"

"Wander around, enjoy the view, and then wait until it's late before returning to the inn. Lan Lingxiang brushed his hair and smiled, "Or choose a captain from among the four of us, and he will make a travel route." ”

"How can you investigate with such a tourist mentality?" Yuna's head seemed to shed a cold sweat.

"Well, I'm here for a trip! By the way, I'm going to recover the huge sum of money owed to the priest. Lan Lingxiang stretched his limbs for a while and moved his lower shins, "Let's vote for the temporary captain, I'll vote for myself, you can do whatever you want." ”

"Isn't it great to be rich? If it weren't for my cousin's disapproval, I wouldn't want to join you. Lin Yaoxi spat on the ground, "If you are asked to be the captain, I'm afraid it won't be long before we will be sold." ”

"What's the matter, it's better than some thief coming in and being the captain." Lan Lingxiang clasped his hands and glared at Lin Yaoxi fiercely, "You take a good look in the mirror, if we ask the villagers for news with a smile on our faces, let them see your appearance, it is inevitable that we will have to close the door." ”

Lin Yaoxi imitated Lan Lingxiang's movements, and snorted coldly-for-tat: "If you don't have the ability, don't talk nonsense here!" You can ask a villager on the street at will, I bet that no one will pay attention to you. ”

Lan Lingxiang showed an expression of victory: "Come on, bet, I think Miss Ben is afraid that you won't succeed, if you lose, not only let me be the captain, but also affectionately call me Sister Lan." ”

"Well, if you lose, all your treasure will be mine. Lin Yaoxi was thinking about how to exchange Lan Lingxiang's treasures for Belen, and she expected that Lan Lingxiang, who was stubborn and self-serving, would lose this time.

Xue Shaoling couldn't stand it anymore, and hurriedly grabbed Lin Yaoxi and persuaded him: "I'll go!" can you two stop making trouble, little junior sister, have you forgotten what senior brother told you?"

Lin Yaoxi shook off Xue Shaoling's hand vigorously: "My cousin won't care about me! When I ran away from home, did he look for me? When I was bullied, did he help me?"

"I believe that Senior Brother has his point, if it weren't for you being so willful, he would still be on your side. Besides, let Lan Lingxiang be the captain, and you won't suffer. ”

Lan Lingxiang sneered, "Yes, you see that your senior brother has said so, this gamble has been canceled." ”

"We've suffered a big loss, Third Senior Brother! Letting Lan Lingxiang be the captain means that our Langtian Adventure Group has to listen to her. Lin Yaoxi grimaced at Lan Lingxiang, "What are you waiting for? ”

"You...... Don't instruct Miss Ben!" Lan Lingxiang raised his index finger at Lin Yaoxi, ignored Youna, who was dissuaded by the side, and walked straight to the nearby street.

But only five minutes later, Lan Lingxiang turned back, her hands hanging down, anger gushing out of the hairpin on her head.

"Huh...... I knew that I would fail, and I still wore such red clothes in broad daylight, and people scared you away. Lin Yaoxi covered her stomach and smiled, "This time your treasure is all mine, don't deny it." ”

"I haven't thrown in the towel yet, the people here are too timid, let me ask in another place. With that, Lan Lingxiang led everyone to stride to another street, and she found that the eyes of the villagers around her were very strange, as if they were looking at something unclean.

Lan Lingxiang found a young man squatting on the ground eating noodles on the side of the road, so he stepped forward and patted him on the back.

As soon as the young man turned around, he was so frightened that he threw the bowl on the ground, and cried out again and again, "Devil...... Help me...... Don't kill me. After saying that, he ran away, and Lan Lingxiang hurriedly grabbed his shoulders and stopped him.

"You see, I'm human, not a ghost, what's wrong with you people here? My clothes are just a little red, and they scare you like this. ”

Seeing that there was no escape, the young man took a rough breath, turned around and said, "Girl, you are a foreigner, and it is better to take care of the affairs of our village." ”

"Tell us, what is going on here, and we won't be able to complete the commission unless we get to the bottom of it. The person who spoke was Xue Shaoling, and Lin Yaoxi next to him was obviously dissatisfied with his move to help Lan Lingxiang, and tried to pull him away, "Don't make trouble! This is very critical information, you give me quiet." ”

"If you insist, I will have to say it, but you must promise not to reveal that I told you this news. ”

Seeing Lan Lingxiang stretch out his hand and swear, the young man tore away the conversation, he was a watchman in the village of Grancia, not long ago he heard that there were several incidents of ghosts attacking villagers in the west of the village, the villagers who were attacked were dull and yellow, and after a few days they got a strange disease, their health became worse and worse, and finally they died in the sound of coughing.

"It's the first time I've heard that ghost attacks can also make people sick, it's really fresh enough!" After speaking, Lan Lingxiang glanced at Lin Yaoxi next to him, and at this time, the girl pulled the corner of Xue Shaoling's clothes and trembled, "What......? You're scared......"

"People...... I didn't have to be afraid...... Compared to you, the ghost...... What a deal!"

Seeing Lin Yaoxi's stammering appearance, Lan Lingxiang couldn't help but want to laugh: "Since you're not afraid, just keep listening! Anyway, you'll have to recognize me as the captain later." ”

Xue Shaoling continued: "Has anyone witnessed the face of this ghost? The villagers who were attacked must have already told the village chief about this." ”

"Although the village chief also sent his followers to investigate, because the attack took place at night and the locations were too scattered, so nothing has been found. The watchman wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "I heard that the ghost's appearance looks very similar to a human, but it is a skeleton face, which is too scary!"

Lan Lingxiang continued to ask: "As a watchman, you should be very clear about which family in this area has been attacked by ghosts. ”

"There are a total of five households, all located on this street, the Yi blacksmith's house in the north, and the Lu Da Niang's house in the south are the first two households in this street to have ghost attacks, and then gradually spread to the entire street, these five families are known as the five major murderous houses in this street. ”

"In other words, the attacks usually happen at night, and I wonder how this ghost attacks people. Lan Lingxiang touched his chin, there are many reasons for the patient's cough, such as the comprehensive pneumothorax he suffers from, which is very rare for patients who are attacked by ghosts to cause coughing symptoms.

"I don't know, but it is said that everyone who sees the ghost faints without exception. ”

After listening to the description of the watchman, Lan Lingxiang said thank you and motioned for everyone to follow him to the Yi blacksmith's house on North Street.

"No, we're really going to investigate, but what about the priest? If we do it on our own, who's going to inform him. ”

"Don't worry, Cortana, the village of Grancia is not big, I'm sure they'll find us. Lan Lingxiang said as he took out twenty beluns from his waist bag and put them in the young man's hand, "This is your reward, and then you will lead the way for us." ”

"Hey, are you really going? Sister Lan, Captain ...... I admit that I lost my bet, can I not go?"

Lin Yaoxi's trembling appearance amused Lan Lingxiang again, she thought that her gloomy face with the light of the flashlight was scary enough: "If you don't want to go, you can stay! You can stay and help us inform Ling of the scourge, but we can't guarantee your safety, after all, there are many ghosts in this area at night." ”

Lin Yaoxi shouted "wow", and gently softened his cheeks to give himself courage: "Go and go...... It's better than being left behind by you. ”

So, led by the watchmen, they walked down the street to a simple wooden house.

"This is the blacksmith's house. ”

Xue Shaoling tried to knock on the wooden door, and with a "knock" sound, a middle-aged man with a full beard and a strong figure came to open the door.

"Are you a blacksmith?"

"Yes, I am, you guys have something to do with me?"

"I heard that you were attacked by a ghost, did you see the appearance of that ghost on the night of the attack?" Xue Shaoling sped up his speech to prevent Lan Lingxiang from interjecting.

"You've just been attacked by a ghost, and besides, it's your turn to be a stranger in this matter, hurry up and get out of here!" said the middle-aged man and slammed the door shut.

Lan Lingxiang squinted and smiled: "Hehe, foreigner." Fail, the village of Grancia doesn't seem to welcome you, a Belém. ”

"You are not like me, you are a foreigner, what qualifications do you have to say about me. Xue Shaoling reluctantly spread his hands and turned to the watchman, "Is your information accurate? ”

"That's right! This family was the first to be attacked by ghosts, so maybe he has something unspeakable. The watchman shrugged his shoulders and turned to leave, "Anyway, that's all I can do to help you, you can do it yourself." ”

After the watchman left, the four of them were silent for a moment, and Yuna finally couldn't help but speak: "What should we do now?

"Of course, now that your priest is away, Miss Ben will protect you. ”

Lan Lingxiang's confident smile made Youna feel very guilty, the other party was sick but still claimed to protect herself, don't get to the point where she can't protect herself, or she really doesn't know how to explain to Ling Wenxuan.
