I smiled bitterly and said, "It's really sitting at home behind closed doors, and disaster comes from heaven." Didn't recruit anyone, didn't mess with anyone. Someone else wants to kill me. ”

Xue Qian looked at me sympathetically. said: "Lao Zhao, when you enter this empty house, you can accept your fate." ”

I nodded, and then went through the cause and effect of the incident.

I thought for a while and said, "Old Xue, this thing is a little wrong. Did you let AIDS fool you? ”

As I said this, I glanced at AIDS. I saw her face full of horror. He shook his head vigorously. It seems that Xue Qian has not been as simple as recording a confession in the past two days, I am afraid that she will give AIDS some color to see, otherwise, she would not be so obedient.

Xue Qian asked, "What's wrong?" ”

I said, "You forgot? We've seen that official before. When we were inside the temple, he easily pulled us off the beams. If he's going to kill me. Why not do it then? Instead, they went to great lengths to train these thieves. ”

The Yin Ghost Woman said, "Because I am nearby to protect you. He was jealous of the power of the Empty House. ”

I looked at the Yin Ghost Woman and said suspiciously, "You? ”

The Yin Ghost Woman raised her eyebrows: "What?" You don't believe it? ”

I laughed dryly and said, "Believe, how can you not believe it?" ”

The Yin Ghost Woman said triumphantly: "I planted eyeliner in Huaicheng. As long as you are in danger, I will do my best to get there. That official can pull the three of us off the beams, but it will take a long time to kill you. ”

Mr. Lu nodded: "I can hold out for at least a few hours." ”

The ghost woman said, "The three of you may not know that I am protecting you in secret. But this ghost is clear. So he didn't dare to act rashly. Or maybe they were worried that they wouldn't be able to fight me, so they gave their lives. Or they are worried that they will lose a great opportunity. "Fork order claw blood.

I nodded: "So he went around in a big circle." Recruited these imps to kill me? ”

Xue Qian smiled: "What do you guess his plan is?" ”

I shook my head: "I can't guess. ”

Xue Qian said, "Do you remember? The day after we got the money back, there were a lot of strange thefts in Huaicheng. Every family lost their things inexplicably, but after a few hours, these things were inexplicably sent back. ”

I said, "I remember." Did the thieves do this? ”

Xue Qian said: "It was those thieves who did it. And these strange thefts are also part of their plan. ”

I was a little confused: "Isn't their plan to kill me?" How did it turn into a theft? ”

Xue Qian said: "These thefts are smoke bombs. Give us an illusion. Let us think that these little ghosts who love to steal things are gathered together, and their nature is difficult to move, stealing things everywhere and playing tricks on others. So, when your broadsword is lost and recovered, you will not be surprised. ”

As soon as I heard this, I immediately reacted: "They did something on my big knife? ”

Xue Qian smiled and nodded: "Your big knife has been pulled out by us for a long time, and the sword soul has never appeared. This knife is not your own at all. ”

I instantly understood: "They gave me a fake broadsword. And this knife has locked my soul in? ”

Mr. Lu took Xue Qian's words and said, "When you dreamed for the first time, in fact, the knife was about to move and was about to lock you up. It's just that at that time, you had less time to contact it. So Xue Qian called you a few times and called your soul back. ”

I arched my hand to Xue Qian: "Old Xue, you saved my life." ”

Xue Qian didn't shirk either, and said with a smile: "You have to thank me well." ”

He pointed to AIDS and said, "Do you remember that night?" AIDS tricked you out with a few paper figures, and then ambushed the imp and almost killed you. ”

I looked at the Yin Ghost Woman and smiled, "Of course I remember." If it hadn't been for the Yin Ghost Woman arriving in time, I would have died. ”

Xue Qian said: "AIDS hates you, but there is no instigation from that official. She wouldn't dare to harm you so blatantly. In fact, the official knew very well in his heart that eighty percent of his trip to AIDS was going to return in vain. He was there watching you fight. If AIDS kills you, that's even better. If you kill AIDS. He also saved from killing people. Moreover, he can test the situation to see if you are really protected. ”

I exclaimed, "Kill three birds with one stone." All you came up with? ”

Xue Qian smiled: "This is what AIDS confessed to later. That night, in the officials' plan, the AIDS gang should have been wiped out. I didn't expect to be escaped back by AIDS. So the official had no choice but to kill people himself. ”

"The AIDS gang saw that the momentum was not right, and they started to run back again. In the process, the cheap mushrooms and dead chickens are gone. And AIDS ran all the way to the empty house, where he was seriously injured by officials. Originally, if the official gave her another blow, she would definitely die. It's just that the three of us disturbed his plan and forced him to give up. ”

I nodded and said, "I see. This guy has such a vicious mind. ”

Xue Qian sighed: "Isn't it? Thankfully, I got a confession about AIDS in time, and I figured out what was going on. But...... You've fallen asleep by then. No, in other words, you look like you're asleep, but your soul is locked up. ”

I looked at the three hands and said, "How did you get him back?" ”

The Yin Ghost Woman said: "The three hands claim to be idle clouds and wild cranes, but they have some friends in the rivers and lakes after all. After Xue Qian found out that something had happened to you, she hurriedly informed me. Then the empty house came forward and asked him for help. ”

The three hands boasted triumphantly: "To tell you the truth, I am the only one who can help with this." The rest of the people can't do this job. The official painstakingly forged the knife. The qiē inside the knife is in his grasp. Only a thief like me can be empty-handed, and under their gaze, Zhao Mang stole it back. ”

Mr. Lu looked at me twice and asked, "Have you properly kept that box?" ”

I nodded and said, "I already have that location in mind." ”

Then, I looked at Mr. Lu strangely: "You also know that box?" ”

Mr. Lu smiled: "Of course I know. When the business is done. You find the tree and dig up the box. As for the address of the box, don't tell anyone. ”

I thought to myself, "I don't even know where that box is." I only remember one nodule. You're just asking me to say, I'm afraid I can't tell. ”

Xue Qian sat across from me and asked, "Old Zhao, what did you see in your dreams?" Tell us about it. ”

I stared straight at Xue Qian's face, but didn't speak.

Actually, since I woke up, I felt something was wrong. This empty house seems to be a little strange.

Shelves, tables, bed boards. Yiqiē is no different from the empty house I am familiar with. But I always felt that something was wrong.

Now I see Xue Qian coming over. A flash of inspiration flashed through my mind, and I finally knew something was wrong.

The candles in the room flickered and flickered, but there was no shadow of them except me.

Three hands, Yin Ghost Woman, Gu Old Man, Gu Yue, AIDS. They are ghosts, and there is nothing wrong with having no shadows. But even Xue Qian and Mr. Lu have no shadows.

I suddenly remembered what the three hands said to me in the world of big knives: "The location of the box, don't tell anyone, not even Mr. Lu." Because, how can you be sure that that person is the real Mr. Lu? ”

In this way, it is very likely that Xue Qian and Mr. Lu are pretending to be ghosts?

I took two steps back, reaching for the big knife on the table. But when I reached halfway through my hand, I remembered that the big knife was fake, and I was afraid that it would not be of any use. So I quickly withdrew my hand again.

Reaching out and retracting hands was done in an instant, but this action still did not escape everyone's eyes.

Especially Xue Qian, his expression was a little gloomy, he looked at me and said, "Lao Zhao, did you want to take a knife just now?" ”
