This time, even without Ji Zhe's call, Pei Yu woke up. He didn't look like he had just woken up, but he didn't look very well.

_____

"I'm not saying this, but before I entered the game, my husband was like this when he was pretending to wake up at home. Except for his face, he is exactly the same as me."

"I'm not saying anything, but he thinks he's Sleeping Beauty and needs the prince to wake him up."

"You don't even sleep well, you hug me so tightly in the morning, eh~"

------

After Ji Zhe went out, he found that many people were running towards the ancestral hall. Before he could think about it, Pei Yu also came over after putting on his clothes.

Seeing this, Ji Zhe directly pulled Pei Yu up and started running towards the ancestral hall.

Sure enough, something happened.

Even though he had prepared himself mentally, Ji Zhe was still frightened by the scene before him————

I saw three people hanging neatly on the beams above the ancestral hall. Their bodies were tied tightly with hemp ropes. Their faces were swollen and purple, and they were motionless. It was obvious that they had no vital signs.

Everyone's mouth was opened wide, with their long tongues almost reaching their chins, and their bloodshot eyes were even more creepy. They seemed to be staring out of their sockets as they stared straight ahead;

"Quick, get them down!"

Butler Zhao said anxiously that he had stopped the servants from working for a few days so that they could catch ghosts properly. Now the only ones who could be used were the ghost catchers.

But what was unexpected was that those people were hired to catch ghosts, but when they saw this scene, they were all frightened out of their wits, their legs went weak, and they all shook their heads desperately. Even the man who spoke so firmly yesterday was now trembling on the ground with fear, his face even paler than Ji Zhe's.

This? What kind of crooked things are you looking for?

Jiang Huai was speechless. This dungeon was at least S-level, so why were the NPCs inside...

He looked back at Ji Zhe who was still holding hands with Pei Yu. An inexplicable emotion suddenly emerged. Jiang Hui felt a little unhappy. He was about to do something, but he didn't expect that there was someone who was more impatient than him.

"Humph, a bunch of cowards!"

I can only say that Aaron and Yasen are indeed twins. Not only do they curse in the same way, but they also curse in the same tone. The two of them got two kitchen knives from somewhere, and each of them threw one at the dead man hanging from the beam.

Looking at the situation, Jiang Huai felt that what the two men wanted to cut was not the rope, but the heads of those dead men.

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

The two corpses fell to the ground, splashing a pool of dark red thick blood below where they were hung. The dead body's blood would not spray over a large area, only forming patches of blood around the ground, emitting a pungent and unpleasant smell.

"what!"

Someone was close to him and a few drops of the smelly blood splashed on him. The man screamed and fainted on the spot.

Seasonal discount:......

Pei Yu:......

Jiang Hui: ...

Even the twins fell silent, which was unusual for them. This was the first time they had seen such a person after entering the dungeon for so many years.

Jiang Huai could no longer speak. He coughed twice and walked to a corpse, and began to examine the cause of death. Although the back of the head was almost cracked from the fall, there seemed to be no obvious signs of struggle from the state of the corpse.

This is strange. Normally, people will instinctively resist before they die, and the horrible red marks on the neck due to the uneven force can show that the deceased was hung before he died.

Or, he might have committed suicide.

"How could this happen?"

Butler Zhao stood aside and said in shock,

"How could he commit suicide out of the blue? And how could this person hang himself so high?"

Indeed, the Pei family's ancestral hall was well-repaired. The beams were almost three people high from the bottom. If a person wanted to hang himself from here, it would be impossible without a high bench.

But when they arrived, there were no tools they could use.

This is strange, could it really be a ghost?

"Who is the first one to come here today?"

Pei Yu held Ji Zhe's hand tightly in his, pressing the soft flesh on the boy's palm again and again, and asked slowly.

One of them raised his hand tremblingly, as if to distance himself from the matter, and quickly replied:

"I went to bed early last night, so I planned to go out for a walk early today. But I didn't expect to see a few people hanging here as soon as I walked out of the room. I quickly shouted!"

Pei Yu looked at him twice. The man was thin and hunched over. He didn't look like he could carry those dead bodies.

The entire ancestral hall was searched and there was no place where anyone could hide.

"Then it seems that this might really be the ghost of my second brother."

Pei Yu sneered, but he knew in his heart that this was impossible. He glanced at Ji Zhe who was keeping his head down and silent, raised the corners of his lips and continued,

"In that case, I'll trouble you all to accompany me on this trip."
