The dirt road leading to Lijia Village is not very easy to walk, especially tonight, the water mist is still very thick, causing the originally rammed and fairly solid road section to begin to soften.

By the time Lin Chen and Li Xiao walked to Lijia Village, it was already close to ten o'clock in the evening.

At this time, Li Xiao was already a little tired, which did not mean physical fatigue, but more psychological fatigue.

On this short stretch of dirt road, there were potholes dug everywhere, and countless rural waterways, and on such a big night, coupled with this fog and thick duckweed, Li Xiao almost fell into the river several times.

"Lin Chen, is this it?" Li Xiao leaned against the wall, hammering his legs, and asked.

Lin Chen glanced around, and everywhere he looked, there were ordinary farm buildings and half-human-high sheds used to raise chickens and ducks.

"Well, this is it, follow this central road to find it, remember, Li Jing's house is at No. 014."

After finishing speaking, Lin Chen was suddenly stunned.

Just now, he seemed to notice that someone was watching him from behind!

But when Lin Chen quickly turned around, that feeling suddenly disappeared again. He didn't notice anything but the dark windows.

"Is it a ghost?" Lin Chen squinted his eyes and looked around carefully again.

It was very dark, and there were no lights in every household, and the lights on the road were estimated to have been out of power for a long time because of the so-called landslide, and Lin Chen even saw that several lampshades were broken.

With the faint light of the flashlight, Lin Chen and Li Xiao walked slowly through the fog one after the other, stopping from time to time to confirm the number plate.

I don't know when, this fog is so thick that it can even wring out water.

"009, 010, 011, 012...013," Li Xiao suddenly snorted.

No. 014, arrived.

"Lin Chen, we're here."

Hearing the sound, Lin Chen looked up at the small western-style building, it was not high, it was only two floors, and the whole was not even painted, and the bare cement layer was full of cyan moss, and even a large piece fell off in some places, revealing the crimson bricks inside.

"It's strange, this feeling, it doesn't seem to be like a ghost." Lin Chen suddenly stopped in front of the door and looked at the courtyard with a bit of confusion.

"What's wrong? Lin Chen, is there any problem? Li Xiao began to be nervous again at this moment, of course it was better than the last sewer, but her gloved right hand was still a little trembling.

"There are ghosts in the house, but they don't seem to be ghosts," Lin Chen tried hard to describe this feeling, because at this moment, in his inspiration, the spiritual power in the entire small western-style building was very weak.

It stands to reason that even if it is the lowest level of Shadow, its spiritual power will not be so scarce.

But you say it's free spiritual power, but the color of this spiritual power is weirdly black.

"Like, there's a difference." After hearing Lin Chen's words, Li Xiao also turned on the spiritual vision and checked the western-style building.

After leaving the basement, Li Xiao made up for the relevant spiritual knowledge.

Putting aside everything else, Li Xiao is indeed extremely talented among the spirit exterminators.

"Well, that's good, the spiritual control is in place this time." Lin Chen glanced at Li Xiao's eyes and praised it slightly.

Li Xiao was stunned for two seconds, then realized something, and quickly turned his face away, "Oh ... Thanks a lot. ”

"Write goodbye thanks, it's just more in place." Lin Chen added casually.

Li Xiao rolled his eyes, fortunately, it was dark and Lin Chen didn't notice it.

"The black one, it should be a shadow anyway, but this amount is too little, is it a ghost guard?" Lin Chen was thinking, but his body had unconsciously passed through the main gate and stepped into the small courtyard in front of him.

"Hey, Lin Chen, wait for me!" Li Xiao hurriedly followed behind Lin Chen, and after she also entered the courtyard, she found that this courtyard was indescribably strange.

It's as if something that shouldn't have appeared has appeared.

Li Xiao stared at the blooming white flowers in front of her, her brows furrowed slightly, this seems to be Chunlan, right?

Chunlan?

What's wrong? Li Xiao bit her lip, and in the haze, she seemed to have discovered something.

"It is the flowering period, and the flowering of Chunlan in Longjiang City is concentrated in January and February." Lin Chen's voice suddenly sounded from behind Li Xiao.

Li Xiao reacted suddenly, "That's right! It's already the beginning of April! Why is this Chunlan still open?! ”

Lin Chen first glanced at the unusually strange white flowers in the light, and then glanced at Li Xiao with disdain, "Did you just realize it?" Didn't you notice that since we entered Lijia Village, this fog had become abnormally strong? ”

“... Ah, yes. ”

Lin Chen carried the lamp and shone straight at the gate, looking at the increasingly bright red paint on the gate and said, "There is no trace of the missing soul slayer in the courtyard, and there is no Li Jing, it seems that we have to go in and have a look." ”

Li Xiao shook the door and found that it was locked.

"Okay," Li Xiao lowered her head and took a deep breath, and was about to muster up the courage to smash open the door when a sudden squeak sounded in front of her!

The door is open!

"Lin Chen! Door, door, door, door open! Li Xiao shouted in horror.

"What the ghost is called," Lin Chen poked his head out of the western-style building and stared at Li Xiao with a frown.

"Huh? Lin Chen, when did you go in? The door, the door was originally open? ”

"What are you talking about," Lin Chen's flashlight shone on the window beside him, "The window is always open, you can enter from here." ”

“...”

At this moment, Li Xiao just wants to buy a ticket and escape from this sad city.

"Don't bother, it's already ten forty," Lin Chen glanced at his watch and said to himself, "Hurry up, I'll go to the second floor to check, you check on the first floor, don't act rashly if you find a problem, send me a message or wait for me to come over, understand?" ”

"Oh, I see." Li Xiao hurriedly nodded.

Lin Chen immediately disappeared into the darkness with the sound of creaking stairs.

……

Upon entering the house, to the left of the eye is a semi-open kitchen, which is also the most common stove room in the countryside. And the right side looks like it should be a storage room, Li Xiao looked up at the wall, the wall is very high, and a white mark is faintly seen at the top, as if something has been removed.

The area of the entire first floor is not large, probably because the house in the countryside still adopts the old-fashioned load-bearing wall design, so the windows are also small, and the walls are thick, which makes the whole room very narrow and very dull.

"Strange? Is this ash? Li Xiao gently picked up a little white dust and put it under the lamp ring to take a closer look.

"It's like the dust of paper money!" Li Xiao's hand shook, he suddenly raised his head and looked around, his pupils suddenly narrowed, and everywhere he looked, the sofa, the table of the Eight Immortals, the chairs, and the ground were covered with a thick layer of white ash.

"Is this really a place where the living can live?" , Li Xiao hurriedly wiped off the dust on his hands.

In the spirit removal world, there are several uses of paper money ash as far as Li Xiao knows, and the most well-known role is to cover up the breath of evil spirits.

When you think about it, the dark living room doesn't seem to be a safe place either.

"Forget it, let's go check the kitchen first."

The semi-open kitchen was dirty, cramped more cramped than the living room, with grease stains almost everywhere, and the only difference was that there was a gossip mirror hanging on the wall.

Wait a minute! Gossip Mirror?!

The cold hairs on Lixiao's neck stood up in an instant!

Now that the gossip mirror is here! And what about the old woman!

Where's the old woman?!
