I Wasn't Born Lucky

The eldest son of the Ye family looked at Xiao Li with complicated eyes.

He was able to see the word "sincerity" in the eyes of the other party, instead of covering it up like some people are unwilling to hand over special secrets - the person in front of Ye Lingshi answered with sincerity.

However, this is completely inconsistent with the real situation. How can we be friends with ghosts?

There is no such thing as emotion in ghosts.

This is a recognized fact in the major ghost-controlling families, and even in the dungeon world.

Every moment, countless newcomers are pulled into the dungeon by this supernatural power, and many of them are in poor situations, but no one has ever seen a ghost and spared his life because the other party is pitiful.

These ghost slayers can only use special refining techniques to forcibly drive ghosts at the risk of being backlashed. Some ghosts have no thinking ability at all, they just love blood and kill people for fun, it's impossible to be good!

Ye Ling choked his throat and asked again: "But how can we establish friendship with... Ligui?"

Xiao Li glanced at him, thought for a while, and said hesitantly, "Look at the face?"

Ye Lingshi:?

What does that look mean, Sherlock?Is he ugly?

Xiao Li then added: "That's not what I mean, I mean... depends on luck."

Both Tan Li and Zhou Ying are dungeon ghosts with twists and turns of fate. They both have an infinite attachment to this world and are unwilling to reincarnate. There must be ghosts in this world that are completely opposite to them. Which one they can meet depends on luck.

The brown-haired youth stopped talking, and he just stared at the black-haired youth in front of him.

Could it be that he is too African?

Xiao Li's whole body was bathed in Ye Lingshi's excitement, and there was a bit of resentment in Ye Lingshi's excitement, and in the resentment, there was some confusion in his eyes. He felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, so he took the initiative to change the topic, and pointed to the place downstairs where the voice came from. , asked the two people around him: "Do you want to go down and have a look?"

Feng Fengqing had been in a state of ignorance before. She knew that Ye Lingshi could rank high in the list of reincarnators. This type of person must have some bottom-of-the-box things and props, but she knew nothing about Xiao Li. , listening to Ye Lingshi, it seems that this little-known Mr. Detective is the one who hides the most...

The lady doctor was still observing Xiao Li, when she heard this sentence suddenly, she immediately said: "Don't go down, the voice is too weird, let's... let's not make troubles, in case the evil spirit that Ronnie mentioned is below... ..."

Whether it was loud noises or barking dogs, Ye Lingshi's hungry ghosts could be so excited that they couldn't find their way. Their strength must be extremely terrifying. They have already found a way to survive, and death is completely unnecessary.

Ye Lingshi made a sign of the cross on his chest: "Miss Feng's words are justified, the evil spirits here are too powerful, we'd better be cautious."

If there is no way out yet, then Ye Lingshi will definitely find out, but after completing mission 1 and surviving for seven days, it has become trivial to find the truth in mission 2.

But Ye Lingshi vaguely felt that Sherlock would not listen to him. Through Bloody Mary and finding snacks in the middle of the night, he found that the other party's brain circuit was not on the same line as himself—or in other words, he was not on the same line as ordinary people. He even suspected Is this man human?

Sure enough, after Ye Lingshi expressed his attitude, the black-haired detective flicked the dust off his neckline with his fingers, and looked at him with those dark eyes: "I'll go and have a look."

"What are you going there for?" Ye Lingshi finally couldn't hold back and asked.

"Go and complete the second mission."

"It's completely meaningless, isn't it? We've already done Mission [-]—" Ye Ling asked in bewilderment, "Mission [-] is so dangerous, why do we have to go there?"

The black-haired boy glanced at him lightly, and walked towards the source of the voice. Just when the young man thought he would not get an answer, he heard the other party reply softly: "If you choose the first task, you have to stay for another three days, which is too long. gone."

Ye Lingshi: "..."

This is really the weirdest reason he has ever heard—he really wanted to pull the other person over and ask "Are you sick?" ?”, he gave up on this idea…

Xiao Li didn't want to die. The reason why he went to find out was not only to end the dungeon as soon as possible, but also because "the mountain is over there", the truth is below, how could he not go?

For someone like Xiao Li who is very curious and has a bit of a puzzle habit, the truth of each world makes his heart itch, like a kitten scratching at the softest place. I've always been interested, otherwise I wouldn't have given myself the nickname of a famous detective.

Ye Ling watched his back go away, then stretched out a finger and stroked his chin after being speechless.

Sherlock's behavior of constantly dying and not dying reminded him of a person - a certain master who ranked high on the list of reincarnations, and that master was also obsessive-compulsive disorder.When he was in a group with Ye Lingshi, because the other party didn't like the Ye family, he used to piss off Ye Lingshi to death, but now it seems that compared with Sherlock, that person is also a little bit less of that weird brain circuit.

The young man suddenly looked forward to what that person would look like when he met this Sherlock. He would definitely raise his hand and call for Sherlock.

The downpour continued outside the window, and Xiao Li could hear the dull sound of rain from the outside as he walked on the thick carpet.

The past few days were too humid, which made him feel that his robe was also wet, which made Xiao Li unbutton his wrist a little annoyed.

Tan Li and Zhou Ying returned to his pocket, and it seemed that the closer they got to that place, the more frightened they became.

This reaction, as well as the downward spiral staircase, reminded Xiao Li of the door shown in the mirror of Bloody Mary.

At this time, the black-haired boy seemed to be in the mirror of last night. He walked down the stairs, and the door to the basement was locked. There was a dog-like creature carved on the door. It had three heads and a poisonous snake as its tail. There are also coiled dormant snakes, and the canine teeth are extremely thick, and they are carved lifelike.

Three heads - Cerberus?Hell's Watchdog?

The dog barking just now, could it be this three-headed dog?

In Greek mythology, Cerberus guarded the gates of the underworld, allowing the souls of every dead person to enter but not letting anyone out.

If this basement leads to hell...then the barking of the guard dog just now was to drive away the evil spirits?

Xiao Li walked over and lightly touched Cerberus' head with his fingers. There was a cold touch from his fingertips. The guard dog didn't respond at all, just like a real sculpture.

He lowered his head and carefully searched for small traces in front of this door. Finally, after he lifted it up at a corner of the carpet, he found some white powder under it, just like the traces of chalk around Wu Tian's body after his death.

In other words, Wu Tian and several other people were transported into this door by the old housekeeper after their death. If this is the case, the existence of the old housekeeper itself is very problematic, and they were invited to come here. s reason--

Xiao Li still remembered the words on the invitation letter "The date of appointment is getting closer and closer", the date of appointment...

With these identities they borrowed, what agreement did they have with the owner of the castle?

While he was contemplating, Xiao Huangben jumped out at this moment: 【Want to go in? 】

Xiao Li took it out of his pocket and glanced at it. After seeing this line of writing, he fell silent—he really thought about it.

【How about we make an exchange? 】

Xiao Li: "...What exchange?"

Little Huang Ben: 【Complete your hidden mission, you can go to any corner here. 】

—that is, to kiss him.

At that moment, Xiao Li's eyes flickered, just like Eve struggled with the poisonous snake that broke into the Garden of Eden. He had to admit that the other party caught his weakness——Xiao · Curiosity-Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder · Li struggled very much Crumpled the paper of the little yellow book.However, just as he was struggling, he suddenly heard the sound of heavy objects hitting upstairs, followed by the sound of footsteps walking upstairs in a disorderly manner.

Xiao Li probed up and glanced up, put away the little yellow book that didn't get an answer, and ran towards the source of the sound.

It was the last room on the first floor, where the old housekeeper lived, and they had never entered it.

When Xiao Li arrived, Ye Lingshi and the others were at the door, looking at the door worriedly, the young man knocked on the door with his hand: "Your Excellency Ronnie, are you all right?"

There was no response from the room, and the sound of the rain drowned out the knock on the door.

They waited for a while, Ye Lingshi knocked again, and said loudly: "If you are not feeling well, can you let Dr. Feng take a look?"

There was still not the slightest sound inside, it was as quiet as the room of the dead a few times before.

Xiao Li lowered his voice and asked, "What's wrong?"

The brown-haired young man turned his head and saw Xiao Li running towards him, shrugging his shoulders: "We just heard the sound of something falling over, and Ronnie's scream. After running up, he refused to open the door."

Xiao Li didn't leave for a long time, and when he heard the movement upstairs, he walked up directly.

Therefore, Ye Lingshi didn't think he would find anything in the basement, so he thought about it, and swallowed the phrase "Did you find anything?"

Xiao Li turned around, pressed the doorknob, turned sideways and bumped into it tentatively with his body, but it didn't move. Ye Lingshi grabbed him, motioned him to stand aside, and then kicked him sideways, hard Shengsheng kicked the door open.

The young man cast a smug look at Xiao Li, am I handsome?

Unexpectedly, Xiao Li didn't even look at him, and when he saw the door opened, he rushed into the room——

The old butler's room was simpler than those of their guests, with very little furniture, a bed and a small table with a few pieces of paper and envelopes on the table, and a tea set by the window.

Ronnie himself was lying on the ground, and the muffled sound was the sound of him falling off the bed.

"You...what's the matter?" Feng Fengqing, as a doctor, had to go over to help the old butler up in order to maintain her personality, but she helped him up twice, and found that he couldn't stand up, so she pushed the old butler away He suddenly found a huge wound on the opponent's leg, which was the mark after being bitten by a vicious dog. The wound was dripping with blood, and a piece of flesh was directly missing.

Ronnie grabbed her clothes and made a hissing sound from his throat. The hair that had been meticulously combed behind his head fell down, and the whites of his eyes were horribly bloodshot.

Feng Fengqing was a little scared. She wanted to let go of Ronnie's hand, but was held tightly by the other party, unable to move. Ronnie said, "Hiss, it's still... poor..."

"what?"

"It's...just... three..." Ronnie tried his best to finish the sentence, and Feng Fengqing, who was startled, used all his strength, and the clothes he was caught directly tore apart.Feng Fengqing threw him directly on the ground, and jumped to the side—he didn't struggle, and a strange greed appeared on the old man's face, "It's just...you...you should die like them, so' I'll be able to return to the world!"

The old butler got up from the ground as he spoke, dragging his injured leg and roaring from his throat.

"Be careful, he is possessed by an evil spirit!" Ye Lingshi shouted when he saw this.

Xiao Li looked at Ronnie's leg, walked around Ye Lingshi, and suddenly asked, "Cerberus has three heads, why did you only hurt one leg?"

As soon as he said these words, everyone present was taken aback for a moment, and Ye Lingshi was the first to think: Cerberus...?The name is a bit familiar - the guard dog of Greek mythology?When did this creature come out, and that barking dog was it?What happened to Sherlock down there?

Compared with Ye Lingshi, who has a wider knowledge, Feng Fengqing has a more cloudy feeling-what's the matter, what is that?Who am I, where am I, what is he talking about, am I still in this dungeon world? !

The old housekeeper who was possessed by the evil spirit moved his trembling legs as if he had just noticed him, blood streamed down Ronnie's legs and fell on the carpet, he staggered towards Xiao Li, hoarsely Say, "How do you know... I just hurt one leg?"

With his movements, there was faint blood leaking from Ronnie's abdomen, but it was only tied around with a bandage carelessly.

However, Xiao Li didn't know where he understood it. He glanced at Ronnie's third leg with strange eyes, showing an inexplicable look—before the evil spirit understood what he meant. , Xiao Li poured out photos one by one from the envelope in his hand.

After he came in, he took Feng Fengqing from Ronnie's desk while Feng Fengqing was comforting him—the papers were all ways to summon evil spirits, and there were seven photos in the envelope.

The first photo is a photo of a black-haired child wearing a fitted vest with a blond man. On the back of the photo is written: , and the number one.

The second photo is a girl wearing a floral dress, also taking pictures with the blond man in the first photo, with the same time and number two on the back of the photo.

The same is true for the rest, three, four, until seven, a total of seven people, the same number as the number of reincarnated people.

Xiao Li shoved the photo to Ye Lingshi, who was about to move his head to his hand, and smiled at Ronnie, who was staring at him, "It's hard to get out of hell, right?"

Ronnie looked annoyed after being poked in the sore foot.

As soon as the evil spirit made a move, the puppet, which was far away from the suppression of the hellhound, poked its head out of Xiao Li's pocket again. The girl looked blankly, facing the evil spirit in Ronnie's body from afar.

This evil spirit is not really here, and only a small part of soul fragments are possessed in Ronnie's body, which is the kind that has been injured by a hellhound, so there is no way to stand up for a while.

"This manor is the entrance and exit of hell, and you are a suppressed evil spirit in hell. You want to escape from hell, but Cerberus does not allow you to come out, so you can only find another way to collect souls for sacrificial rituals—— Well, it’s hard to find a few of us. It took you a lot of effort to find a child whose birth and death dates meet your requirements. After you grow up, you still have to remember us, send us an invitation letter, and let us go to ancient times. It’s really a warm host.”

"That's an agreement... I give you wealth, and you sell your soul to me! I just take back what I deserve!" Ronnie's eyes were red.

"One lollipop for one soul, yes, your business is very evil." Xiao Li complained without giving any face, and he continued, "The number of people we died in the beginning was completely in your expectation, but after After Wu Tian, ​​we saw through the way of life given by the rules, and you had to find another way to kill us. You gave He Wei and the others the summoning ceremony of Bloody Mary? It was very effective. They died, and you got You took a chance to breathe, but after that, death stagnated, and you tried to take the risk of using four souls to fool the hellhound, but you failed, and only split such a soul, which is you standing in front of me."

"Congratulations, back to hell."

What Xiao Li said was the truth about Tartarus Manor.

This ancient castle was built above hell. A certain evil spirit in hell never forgot to return to the world. He started to lay out the layout a long time ago, found seven children, and made an agreement with them to sacrifice their souls. The reincarnated people play the role of children who are invited to come when they grow up. Their souls after death will be used to complete the sacrificial ceremony to help the evil spirits get out of trouble.

In his voice, Xiao Huangben automatically appeared and started the settlement: [Reincarnation Xiao Li completed the original task 85, evaluation level s, task completion rate 1000%, no rubbing ghosts, get [-] Survival Coins. 】

[The scene is changing. 】

【3, 2, 1—】

[Disappointed, it almost succeeded. 】

[Very disappointed. 】

[Still frustrated. 】

[Important things are said three times. 】

A few golden lights flashed, and accompanied by a dog barking, the interior of the castle once again returned to the eternal silence.

The storm outside caused turbulent waves, which never stopped beating the cliffs, but this manor was still standing.It is quiet and ancient, as if no living beings have ever come, guarding above hell.

Only occasionally, the portraits hanging on a certain floor of the wall will become empty, and the blonde beauty originally stored on it will shuttle in the mirror, wandering between reality and illusion.
