He watched the little girl return to her room and close the door. Huang Chang and the old Taoist priest glanced at each other.

"It's still some time before dark, so let's split up and look around?"

Huang Chang suggested, but the old man Lou shook his head:

"Go by yourself, I'm too familiar with every plant and tree here, and it's not interesting to look at it again. ”

Huang Chang shrugged his shoulders and walked towards the backyard alone. The door between the front and back yards is closed, and there is a large, thick latch inserted into it, which is not a hindrance to adults. But if it was a little girl like Duoduo, it was obvious that she would not be able to open this door to the backyard.

- Was the person who closed the door in the first place just to prevent the little girl from running to the backyard by herself? was it just a temporary measure, or was it expected to become a permanent restraint?

Huang Chang crossed his arms and thought about it for a moment in front of the door. He didn't touch the latch, but jumped over the wall, falling like a leaf to the ground behind the wall.

The backyard is more desolate than the front, and the weeds are almost the same as outside. Huang Chang casually walked into a house and checked it, and sure enough, as Lou Laodao said: the house was empty, and there was no furniture, and it didn't look like there were people living in it at all. Or, even if they used to live there, they had already moved away - it was still a very thorough kind of move.

I went into several rooms in a row, and it was all the same. He only saw a few broken clay pots and some abandoned tattered household items on the ground, but Huang Chang still studied it patiently - he hoped to guess the era of the house through the shape and inscription of these utensils. But I didn't get anything, it was just a very ordinary thing, and I didn't find any written information.

Everything here, like that little girl Duoduo, seems to have come out of nowhere, and it is a mystery without any cause and effect.

The house is very large, and there are many courtyards, and later Huang Chang didn't bother to search slowly from yard to yard, so he simply jumped on the roof, found the highest ridge, sat on it, and watched the general trend of the whole house. However, even with his eyes and his divine sense, he couldn't tell anything obvious abnormal—the gloomy aura was very strong, but it was normal for the dilapidated old mansion that had been uninhabited for a long time. The huge number of ghosts and ghosts in the old road entrance of the building, at least at this moment, there is no clue.

"Spooky place...... Strange 'dungeon', am I actually traveling into a game world?"

Huang Chang sat on the roof and thought to himself - there are many mysteries to be solved, and no matter what happened the night before, all of them will be restored to their original state after dawn, isn't this the same as the dungeon copies in those online games he played in his previous life?

- There are also many levels that need to be completed by the player one by one. At the same time, there is a time limit, usually three days or a week, when the time is up, regardless of whether the customs is cleared or not, it will all be "refreshed" and start all over again. This situation seems strange and inexplicable in the eyes of the old man Lou, but for Huang Chang, there is an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

Anyway, this is a fairy world, and anything strange can happen. Huang Chang, who has experience in two lives, is definitely more receptive to all kinds of strange things and imagination than most people in this world, and he quickly formulated the purpose and principles of this action for himself:

- Either or not, explore this as a copy anyway.

............

The sky gradually became gloomy, and Huang Chang returned to the front courtyard to meet the old man Lou. The old Taoist priest did not go back to the house to rest, but sat on the front steps of the house, looking at the small room where Duoduo slept, with a very soft expression on his face, as if he was reminiscing about his years.

Seeing Huang Chang coming over, he smiled at him and said:

"Have you explored everything?"

Huang Chang shook his head, the mystery of this copy is indeed relatively hidden, and it seems that he has to wait for the "trigger event" before he can continue to move forward. In this case, he didn't force it, anyway, just follow the "copy process".

So Huang Chang and the old Taoist priest Lou shared some dry food, and the two sat under the eaves, silently waiting for that moment to come. As the sun set, the courtyard was silent, and there was no sound outside the walls, and the house seemed to be completely cut off from this world. That feeling of loneliness, even a confident and bold master like Huang Chang couldn't help but feel a little hairy in his heart.

Suddenly, as if some kind of barrier had been broken, there was a banging on the door outside, and the silence when there was no sound just now was terrifying, but now the sound was abrupt and panicking...... It's really quite a "ghost house" temperament.

Huang Chang took out a timekeeping gadget from his arms and looked at it, and sure enough, it was almost at the time of the intersection of Youwu. Old man Lou is worthy of being a "veteran player" who has experienced dozens of times, and although more than ten years have passed, he can still remember the whole process clearly.

Duoduo was woken up, muttering something like "there are so many people today" as she got up to open the door. Huang Chang originally wanted to follow, but the old man Lou said no—no matter what, those people would be brought here. In order not to appear deliberate, they temporarily avoided the house.

This place is not far from the gate, and with Huang Chang's ear power, it is easy to hear the movement at the door. There are still people who want to spend the night, and Duoduo also told the other party that the house is haunted, just like they did before. The other side seemed to be a little hesitant, but finally asked to come in and stay for the night.

So after a while, I saw Duoduo leading a few people into the courtyard. There are a lot of people, and there are actually two female dependents among them. One wears a hood and seems to be a noble lady, and the other is a maid who supports her. It was a young man who came forward to communicate and make decisions, plus servants and bodyguards...... Seven or eight people walked in one after another.

Old man Lou frowned this time:

"So many people?"

"What's the matter?

Huang Chang was puzzled, and the old man nodded and said:

"When there are more people, the 'things' in the backyard will increase accordingly...... It might be a bit more troublesome then. Of course, it should still be helpless for you and me. ”

Huang Chang smiled lightly and didn't care. At this time, the two of them also pretended to have just woken up, and went out to meet the new guests. The other party introduced himself as a brother and sister, and passed by here with his servants to visit relatives. I missed the lodging and couldn't find a place to stay, so I came here to borrow a night.

Huang Chang and Old Man Lou just listened to this - they didn't know which way to go around to this deep mountain and dense forest. However, when they introduced themselves, the other party was quite enthusiastic, and they probably felt that in this haunted mansion, it was really a lucky thing to meet a feng shui master who was good at divination and a Taoist priest who was good at exorcism and evil spirits.
