Chapter 451: A Mysterious Man Appears
This is not the ghost of the proprietress on the hostess, which means that there is another person in this tailor shop!
Ling Xiao looked at me, "Do you think this ghost is familiar too?" ā
I nodded, this ghost is very strong. So I was very impressed.
The proprietress said that there was something to do today, is it just to see this person? But I'm not sure if this person is the same person as the one I had in mind.
Ling Xiao and I both put away our ghost qi and hid next to the bookshelf in the hall, not daring to act rashly.
Fortunately, neither the proprietress nor the mysterious man came upstairs. Because the other party's ghost aura is too strong, if he comes upstairs, even if we use green crystals to hide, he should be detected.
"Has your husband's ghost been found?" A hoarse voice rang out.
Ling Xiao looked at me in horror and whispered, "It's him!" ā
That's right, I was sure when I heard that. He was the man we met in the tasting room at the Cornavi Distillery, the man in the cloak who was incredibly powerful. He is also the owner of the man in black and the woman in black robe, and he is the person I suspected at the time that he was likely to be the devil!
But why did he care about the loss of the boss's husband's ghost?
The proprietress whispered. "Not yet, I'm sorry, master."
"Rubbish! If you can't prove that you're qualified to serve me, then I'll have to consider whether it's time for another servant! ā
The proprietress hurriedly replied, "I will definitely find it, give me three more days!" ā
Hearing it, she was very scared.
The proprietress lowered her voice, and Ling Xiao and I both pricked up our ears to listen carefully.
"Still." She didn't seem to dare to continue.
"But what?"
"The ghost who sneaked over from the ghost world two days ago, I haven't found him yet."
"You don't have to worry about this, I've already solved it for you. All you have to do now is find a way to find your husband's ghost. ā
"Yes, master!"
The proprietress finished the last sentence. The man's ghost was gone. Ling Xiao and I didn't dare to go down immediately, and the door was already closed.
The two of us hid upstairs and observed the situation in the bedroom for a while, and found that the children appeared and disappeared for a while, very illusory like a mirage, but the powerful force did not appear again.
It's not a way to stay like this, I glanced at the window and exchanged glances with Ling Xiao.
We quickly jumped out of the window, but luckily the second floor wasn't too high.
Ling Xiao and I were afraid of being discovered by the proprietress, so we didn't go back to the mayor's house directly, but took a long detour before going back.
Qianmo breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Ling Xiao come back, and asked with concern. "How's it going, have you found anything?"
"I've signaled to you, why did it take so long to come back and not be in danger, right?" Qingxue also asked us anxiously.
Ling Xiao and I told everyone else everything we saw and heard. Then we put those threads together and identified a couple of things.
First of all, the relationship between the proprietress and the mysterious person is a master and servant, which shows that she is definitely not an ordinary woman, even if we haven't seen what she is capable of, but it is very likely that Sister Sun said that she is a crazy witch.
Secondly, it is clear that the proprietress is doing something important for the mysterious man, and it has something to do with her husband's ghost. She asked us to help her find her husband's ghost, and she must have asked us for help because of the pressure that person gave her.
I think when the proprietress asked us to help her, she shouldn't have known our identities, maybe she just thought that a few of us were more capable, but unfortunately she was clumsy and found the wrong person.
This also shows that she lied at the time, and she didn't want to keep her husband's ghost as a thought at all, but to give it to the mysterious person.
The last thing is about Murong Song's death. From the conversation between the two of them, it can be judged that Murong Song was killed by a mysterious person, and it is even more certain that Sister Sun has nothing to do with Murong Song's death. And that person not only wanted to kill Murong Song, but his purpose was to kill us, that is, he already knew that we had come to the town.
Now that I know what I'm facing, I feel a little bit at the bottom of my heart. The mysterious man wants to kill us, which I can understand, because when we were in the winery, we used to fight against him, and it is normal to get rid of us as thorns in the eye, but why do we have to find Murong Song and kill him?
The proprietress also deliberately emphasized that Murong Song slipped over from the Ghost Realm, and she was also looking for Murong Song. In other words, they are not allowed to let anyone slip over, and the guards on the edge of the cliff in the ghost realm were arranged by mysterious people?
Most of the killings are because they know things they shouldn't know.
Could it have something to do with the entrance from the Devil Realm to the Devil Realm? Murong Song jumped off the cliff and came over, and he didn't need to wait for the green glow at all.
The mysterious man must not want others to know, he was worried that Murong Song would return to the ghost realm to sue others, so he killed him, and we also knew about it, so naturally we would also be exterminated.
As for the mysterious second floor, Yujie felt that it might be a strange summoning ritual based on our description of the power. I think it's more like some kind of formation, and we don't know what it does yet.
"Where the children on the second floor are, could it be the exit to the demon realm?" Yujie made a bold guess.
I think it's a bit absurd, but it's possible, after all, Murong Song came out of that.
Ling Xiao didn't think so, "They had to kill Murong Song, maybe they were worried that he would discover the secret in that bedroom, it was a room with mysterious powers, and there was no secret door or secret passage, it wouldn't be the exit from the Evil Ghost Realm to the Evil Ghost Realm." ā
"Then why do you say Murong Song is there?" Qianmo asked Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao frowned and thought for a while, "Maybe a certain master deliberately put Murong Song on the second floor, and that master may want us to investigate it properly." The hint of the white crystal may have something to do with the second floor. ā
What Ling Xiao said also makes sense, with the information we have now, it is not enough to determine the matter on the second floor.
The big head looked at Ling Xiao and said puzzledly, "Brother Ling, have you searched that room carefully?" If it's a secret way, it will definitely not be discovered lightly, otherwise how can it be called a dark way? ā
There are too many doubts on the second floor, and I don't think there is any point in discussing it like this. So I asked yƬ to investigate the matter of the children first, and then the ghost of the boss's husband.
She said the ghost was in town, but she couldn't find it. Since it is for the mysterious people, no matter what the use of the ghost is, they must not be allowed to find it first.
There must be an important connection between the six children and the great power, so I need to know now if those children are real and what is so special about them.
Regarding the question of the child, we still found the mayor first, "Do the owner and the proprietress of the tailor shop have children?" Have they ever adopted someone else's child? ā
The mayor looked at me curiously, "The tailor shop lady and the owner have never had children, but your recent problems are really strange enough. ā
I remembered the word 'home' engraved on the table, and continued to ask the mayor, "Has anyone else ever lost a child?" ā
The mayor shook his head, saying that Streamer Town has always been peaceful, and no one has lost a child at all, "However, I seem to remember that people from other villages and towns have come here to look for children. ā
"Did you find it later?"
"Then I don't know."
After asking the mayor, we went straight to Sister Sun'er's orchard to find her, maybe because it was the first time we met, and we didn't trust her, she didn't say more, but I always felt that Sister Sun knew more things.
On the way, Ling Xiao asked me, "Fourth brother, do you suspect that those children were stolen by the proprietress?" "Gang Gang.
I nodded, otherwise there would be a child in her house.
"But didn't you say that those children are very unreal, they come and go, and they sound more like illusions, maybe they are the images of children conjured up by some kind of ghostly way." It's not impossible for Qingxue to say this.
We can only see Sister Sun later to see what else she knows, after all, she also reminded us to investigate the second floor.
