He's mother trembled as she recounted the entire story of what had just happened from beginning to end. Especially when she mentioned that there were two He Wan'er, she was so frightened that her teeth began to chatter.

While they were talking, He Wan'er and He's father, who had been sleeping soundly, finally woke up slowly. When they saw Lu Youzhi in the room, they suspected that they were dreaming.

Seeing that they woke up, Lu Youzhi did not stay any longer. She told He's mother, "Don't be afraid."

"As long as you don't talk or make any noise, you'll be fine."

He glanced at the confused He Wan'er and He's father and said, "I know you have questions, but don't talk. If you have any questions, we can talk about them tomorrow."

After Lu Youzhi finished speaking, she left, leaving He's mother and her family of three alone in the room.

She saved the person and spoke the words, but whether they listened or not was up to them.

If you obey, you will live. If you don’t obey... it’s hard to persuade the damned ghost with good words. There’s nothing she can do if he doesn’t obey.

Lu Youzhi returned to her room and began to think.

She didn't know when the ghost entered He's mother's room, because before He's mother screamed tonight, she had never felt the yin energy in the inn getting worse. She didn't expect that He's mother would encounter a ghost silently. Moreover, according to what He's mother said, the more she talked to the ghost, the brighter her eyes became, from being unable to see her hand in front of her to being able to see everything in the house clearly...

Lu Youzhi soon had an idea in her mind.

Perhaps, it was not that He's mother could see everything clearly, but that the ghost could see He's mother's location based on the sound.

Also, she could hear the screams of He's mother from several rooms away, but the father and daughter in the same room with He's mother heard nothing and continued to sleep. Obviously, the ghost had done something, but why did they do that? Wouldn't it be faster to kill three people at once than to kill one person?

Or is it because these ghosts can only use sound to identify locations, so once the human voice is too noisy, it will be difficult for them to take action?

If that's the case, why did the people in An County go to so much trouble to keep quiet? It couldn't be that no one noticed, right?

More importantly, after He's mother was targeted by ghosts, the negative energy in the inn remained unchanged. Does this mean that the ghosts did not come from outside at all?

They are ghosts hiding in the inn, they just hide during the day and come out to harm people at night.

Lu Youzhi thought this was very likely, so she called Wan Jinzhi and asked her to walk around the inn carefully to see if there were any other ghosts. Then she closed her eyes and went to sleep.

Not in a hurry.

No matter what happened in An County, and no matter where these ghosts came from, it was not a big problem for her.

Take a rest first. Only after you have rested well can you think of a way to deal with these ghosts.

……

Silent all night.

Last night, He's mother's screams echoed throughout the inn. Manager Wang was sure that she was dead and felt it was bad luck. So the next morning, he called the waiter and asked him to lead the way to the room of Lu Youzhi and others. Without saying a word, he knocked on the door.

'bang bang bang'

'Bang bang bang bang'

There was a loud knock on the door, which woke up everyone on this floor. Many people stuck their heads out and looked at Shopkeeper Wang with dissatisfaction: "What are you doing?"

"How do you do business when you disturb people's sleep so early in the morning?"

"That's right. I didn't sleep well last night, so I'm waiting to make up for it in the morning."

Most people were grumpy and yelled at Shopkeeper Wang, but his attitude towards locals and outsiders was completely different. He quickly apologized with a smile: "Didn't I hear screams again last night? There must be a dead person among these outsiders. I just want to drag the body out as soon as possible. The weather is hot now and the body will stink in a few days."

After Manager Wang said this, everyone remembered the scream last night. They looked at each other with a gloating look in their eyes.

Those outsiders were so arrogant yesterday, they deserved it if they died after coming in one night.

However, some people did not buy into Wang's tricks: "It will take several days for a corpse to stink. You don't have to get up so early in the morning..."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Shopkeeper Wang continued to smile, and at this moment, the door was opened and Lu Youzhi walked out: "Isn't this Shopkeeper Wang? What are you doing here with so many people so early in the morning?"

Lu Youzhi is not dead.

Shopkeeper Wang felt a little regretful. As a shopkeeper, he could see that Lu Youzhi was the leader of the team. As long as she died, the others would not be able to achieve anything.

However, during the day, outsiders who could only threaten them with their voices would not be able to do anything.

At worst, we can just put them in jail, and then they can do whatever they want.

Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Wang straightened his chest and raised his head, looking Lu Youzhi up and down: "Nothing, just here to carry the body. We all heard screams last night, it should be coming from your rooms."

"Are you coming to carry away the body after hearing the screams?" Lu Youzhi was curious: "Whose body are you carrying? Could it be that this is a shady shop?"

Shopkeeper Wang's face darkened instantly, but looking at Lu Youzhi's delicate appearance, and thinking about how she would look when she saw his people turned into corpses, he felt very happy again: "Miss, if you say so, then it's true. Don't cry when you see the corpses later."

Shopkeeper Wang finished speaking.

Tang Yan and Zhuang Sheng also walked out of the room.

Next came Xia Shuishui and Wan Lian'er, Bai An and Ji Tian, ​​and finally He Wan'er and her family of three, not one was missing.

The smile on Shopkeeper Wang's face gradually disappeared. He looked at Ji Tian and others in front of him in disbelief. He never expected that none of them died.

"How can this be?"

When He Wan'er and her family of three came out, he couldn't help but blurt out.

"How is it possible?"

"How is it possible that none of you died?"

"Why are we going to die?" Lu Youzhi asked back. Shopkeeper Wang's face instantly turned very ugly. If it weren't Lu Youzhi and the other outsiders who died, then it would be the locals who would die.

What bad luck!

Shopkeeper Wang thought so and turned to leave with a few waiters. But after two steps, he suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Lu Youzhi: "By the way, when you checked in last night, we didn't charge you for the room because it was late. Who of you will come and settle the room fee later?"

Is it just the room settlement fee?

Lu Youzhi saw the ill intention in Shopkeeper Wang's eyes and asked, "How much per night?"

"You are staying in the upper room, twenty taels of silver per night."

Twenty taels of silver for one night!

This is simply a sky-high price.

He Wan'er finally couldn't help it: "Why don't you go and grab it?"
