System [I am in a horror dungeon]

At a previous inn, when the few people arrived, it was already midnight. Everyone in the inn said that entering the inn at this time would attract unclean things.

A few people said they were practitioners and had entered the inn, but the people in the inn looked at them with unfriendly eyes.

At night, they originally planned to stay in three rooms, but Lu Nanyin felt a little uneasy. The people downstairs kept staring at them, which made Lu Nanyin feel panicked. It was raining heavily outside, which made things worse for Lu Anyin.

In the middle of the night, Lu Nanyin looked at the flickering black shadow beside the bed and was so scared that she had to hold her pillow and quilt and quietly sneaked to Chu Lingxian's room.

Chu Lingxian was also startled when he heard the sound of the door opening, and then he heard Lu Nanyin's inner complaints.

Why is the window in this place still leaking? It makes my head buzz. There is also water falling from the upper floor, dripping on my face, which feels cold. And what is that black shadow flickering in the window? It's too scary...

Chu Lingxian turned over and got out of bed, and the sound scared Lu Nanyin.

Chu Lingxian relit the candle and looked at Lu Nanyin, who was standing in the middle of the room hugging a pillow and quilt. He asked helplessly, "What's wrong? Are you scared?"

"I..." Lu Nanyin wanted to be stubborn, but a bolt of lightning struck and a black shadow flashed through the window. Lu Nanyin looked at the window in horror, ran to Chu Lingxian and grabbed her sleeve.

"Yes, I'm a little scared."

Chu Lingxian sighed, looked at Lu Nanyin running towards him without even wearing shoes, picked her up and put her on the bed.

"What did you see that made you so scared?" Chu Lingxian had her back to the window just now. She only knew there was lightning, but she didn't know what Lu Nanyin saw that made her so frightened. "Aren't you afraid of thunder and lightning?"

"I saw a black shadow. I also saw it in my room just now. It just floated back and forth. There was also a faint smell, but I don't know what it was."

Lu Nanyin sat on the bed, wrapped herself in a quilt, leaving only her head exposed. She talked to Chu Lingxian and looked towards the window from time to time.

There was another flash of lightning, and Chu Lingxian also looked towards the window. It seemed that a shadow was indeed floating past. As for the smell, it was vague and could not be smelled at all without careful observation.

"See? I'm not lying."

"Yeah, I saw it, but I don't know if it was a real ghost or someone was pretending to be a ghost?"

Lu Nanyin sighed, "I hope someone is playing tricks. If there really is a ghost, then we may not be able to leave for a while. Master said that if the ghost died unjustly, then everyone here may be targeted by it."

"Have you seen your master? He speaks so truthfully."

Lu Nanyin blinked her eyes, "Hmm - I don't know, that's what the master said."

"Then let me tell you, he framed you. No matter where you are, every wrong has its perpetrator. Those ghosts will go looking for the person who caused them to die unjustly. They will not target innocent people passing by." Chu Lingxian touched Lu Nanyin's head to comfort her.

"really?"

"real."

Lu Nanyin breathed a sigh of relief. "What's going on with that black shadow outside the window? If I don't figure it out, I won't be able to sleep and will have nightmares."

Chu Lingxian thought about it and set up a soundproof array around him, so that the sound of rain and thunder outside could not be heard at once, and he also hid the windows with magic.

Now, Lu Nanyin could no longer hear any sound and could not see the window, and she felt instantly more at ease.

"Go inside a little and go to sleep. We can find out what happened to that shadow tomorrow."

"okay."

Lu Nanyin moved a little further into the bed to leave some space for Chu Lingxian.

Chu Lingxian lay down and waved his hand, and the candle went out. "Go to sleep. I'm outside you. If anything goes wrong, it will be me first. You can run first."

Lu Nanyin wrapped herself tightly and lay down. She looked at Chu Lingxian beside her, thought for a moment, and then held her little finger. "If something really happens, I will try to knock down that person or ghost first, and then I will consider whether to run."

Chu Lingxian closed his eyes and said, "I know, let's go to sleep."

Lu Nanyin also closed her eyes, thinking about this and that, and finally fell asleep when it was dawn.

When the sun comes out in the morning, the air smells like earth and some indescribable scent.

Su Liyue and Xia Xiaoxiao did not sleep well either. All night long, not only did they see a dark shadow flash past the window, but there was also a slight knock on the door and an indescribable smell. They fell asleep only when it was dawn.

When they went downstairs to eat, they all looked listless.

After dinner, several people went to Su Liyue and the others' room. When they opened the window, they could smell an indescribable smell, a bit like the smell of something burnt, but they didn't know what it was. They had never smelled it before.

There was dirt at the door, the same soil as in the alley next to it, and there was some blue-grey powder near the window.

The people behind checked the three rooms and found almost the same situation, but there was also dirt on the floor of Lu Nanyin's room.

Seeing the footprints on the ground, Lu Nanyin felt a chill down her spine. If she hadn't changed rooms last night, wouldn't that mean...

Lu Nanyin didn't dare to think any further. The more she thought about it, the more scared she became.

He unconsciously grabbed Chu Lingxian's sleeve, fearing that he would be captured in the next second.

A few people walked around the street for a while, bought some dry food, and then went to the alley. Because it rained last night, the road was muddy and there were many footprints, so it was impossible to tell them apart by the footprints.

Just when everyone was about to go back, Lu Nanyin smelled a familiar smell coming from a house in the alley.

Several people looked at each other, mustered up the courage to go to that house and knocked on the door.

"Hello, is anyone there?"

There were footsteps in the yard, and there were also sounds of sticks. When a few people were wondering what the sound was, the door opened. A man with uneven legs opened the door and asked in a hoarse voice: "What's wrong? Who are you looking for?"

Several people looked at the man's legs. One leg was intact, but the other leg was a stick.

Feeling everyone's gaze, the man said, "My leg is broken. I fell when I was collecting herbs in the mountains. I don't have enough money for treatment, so I had to use a wooden stick to fix it."

Lu Nanyin looked through the crack in the door and saw a big pot in the yard with the wood underneath still burning. When the door opened, the smell became stronger.

"Brother, you should have a wife, why don't you see her?"

The man was stunned, staring at Lu Nanyin, "She went out, she's not here now." As he said that, he was about to close the door.

Su Liyue pushed the door shut all of a sudden. "Brother, we're here to look for your wife and ask her something. If she's not here right now, can we go in and sit down? We don't have anything to do, so we can wait for her to come back."
