Immersive ghost hunting

"What do you think of that painting?" Qu Yibai changed the subject.

"What painting?" Tony desperately tried to find a sense of existence.

Ye Silong finally looked at him squarely, "The painting I saw in Pan Zhuohua's ghost."

Tony said without thinking: "Pan Zhuohua should like that man very much."

Jack added: "They're a couple."

"It feels like a couple." Qu Yibai looked at the ring on his ring finger and said, "But why did he help us?"

"It's really strange. Don't he and Pan Zhuohua have the same heart? We should wish we died. Could it be that they broke up? The content of the break has something to do with us?" Ye Silong said.

"So the enemy's enemy is really our friend?" Jack said.

"Let's talk about finding Zhao Peng's descendants." Ye Silong looked at Zhou Suqiu, "Grandma, we now suspect that Zhao Peng got the wrong gender when he was married to the ghost."

"It's embarrassing to say, how could he make such a mistake?" Zhou Suqiu sighed a little, "According to logic, it's impossible not to be able to tell the gender of a man and a woman. Is he confused or did it on purpose?"

"What good will it do him?" Qu Yibo said, "Didn't he die soon?"

"Who knows, what this kind of person is thinking." Ye Silong said.

"Jack, go and find out the whereabouts of this family." Qu Yibai said, "Ye Silong and I went to the bookstore and let us know as soon as we have any news."

Only then did Ye Silong think of something, "Grandma, are you in good health now? Do you know that you were Pan Zhuotong's nanny in your previous life?"

"..." Zhou Suqiu glanced at this useless guy, "You just remembered me?"

The unconscionable Qu Yibai also said, "Is grandma still dizzy now?"

"Halo, what I said just now was all made up." Zhou Suqiu said angrily.

Jack gave a low laugh, "Grandma has a good rest, I'll go to work first. Does Tony want to go together?"

Tony felt as if he had missed a lot of information, so he nodded hastily, "Let's go."

There were two ghosts missing, and the room was a bit empty, so Qu Yibai coughed, "I want to drink tea."

"Drink, I didn't say I won't give you a drink." Ye Silong picked up the cup and took another sip.

"You idiot, hey." Zhou Suqiu covered his face with the quilt, "I'm going to sleep, you two go away."

Qu Yibai simply took the cup in Ye Slong's hand, "Gudong Gudong——"

Ye Silong finally came to his senses, and cursed in a low voice: "Childish!"

Cursing and cursing on the mouth, there is a smile that cannot be hidden in the eyes.

It's actually quite cute.

That's great, I hope it continues like this.

But it probably won't be possible.

Thinking of this, Ye Silong's heart became bitter again.

"What's the distribution of bookstores like?" Qu Yibai asked Ye Silong.

Ye Silong thought for a while and said: "We should go to the old city to have a look. Since last year, bookstores have realized '□□', and the number has increased dramatically. Let's exclude those first. Zhao Peng died so early, and his descendants bookstores probably It’s been open for a long time, I don’t know if it’s closed down now, I can only say to try my luck.”

"Yes." Qu Yibai agreed, "Go and buy a map first."

"That makes sense. You can also look for a bookstore with the surname Zhao."

"It's not that casual."

……

The two stood under an oversized plaque and stared at each other. There were a few large characters engraved on the plaque, "Zhao Family Ancestral Bookstore".

"Hey, Zu Chuan, did you see it?" Ye Silong pointed wearily at the plaque, and waved the map in his hand in slow motion, with a professional smirk in his bitterness: "Damn it, this is the last one."

Qu Yibo looked at the big red circles on the map, and then at the big green crosses, all of which were Zhao's Bookstore.

Now this one was the last one they found on the map.

Qu Yibai licked Ye Silong's head with his fingers, "No swearing, let's go in and take a look first."

This bookstore is very large, with two floors. Although the decoration is a bit outdated, in terms of size, it can be called very luxurious in the old city.

There are some classic literature on the first floor, and children's books on the second floor.

The two walked around, and it was no different from an ordinary bookstore.

"Hey, I didn't say I returned empty-handed today!"

"No." Qu Yibo said, "The previous few were all tofu shops that could be seen at a glance, so the clues may be relatively slim. Now this place is much bigger, but we can't do it like this. We have to find the owner of the bookstore. OK."

"It makes sense." Ye Silong opened a book casually, hey, it's "The Family of Gold Fans" again.

"It would be easier if we knew the names of Zhao Peng's descendants."

Ye Silong handed the book to Qu Yibai, "Don't you like to read this book? The last time I saw you read it, your eyes were full of tears."

Qu Yibai took the book with doubts on his face.

He casually flipped through a few pages, oh~ I remembered.

It's the one about lilies of the vine.

"The vine can produce lilies." Qu Yibai gently put the book back in place.

Ye Silong glanced at him, "Crazy."

"Go and see those corners." Qu Yibai gestured with his chin. In a corner of about four square meters, there was a pillar bookshelf. The shopkeeper set up small cabinets around the pillar. related books.

The bookshelves were so wide that there was about a small gap between the pillars and the wall.

something.

Ye Silong slightly bent down to look in through the gap in the bookshelf, and saw a high curtain of white cloth hanging down, and there was something hidden behind the cloth.

Qu Yibai scanned the guests back and forth, fearing that people would see their sneaky behavior, he whispered: "Is your stick long enough?"

"Let me try, help me watch the wind." Ye Silong rubbed his hands, and suddenly a long stick appeared, and poked at the door curtain.

"Enough!" Ye Silong said quickly.

He lifted the stick and cut it, and there were several large cardboard boxes piled up inside, the dust on it was estimated to be thicker than Ye Silong's dough, and there was nothing else.

"It's so strange, how did the cardboard box get in with such a gap?"

"Knock to see if it's hollow or solid." Qu Yibai quickly glanced at the corner.

"it is good."

"Tu Tut Tuk—" Ye Silong tapped obediently, "It's real."

"That's the bookshelf they built after putting things in." Qu Yibai said, "They don't want the things in it, but they can't throw them away."

"But what if one day you want it?" Ye Silong said.

"Tell a child to get in."

"Oh."

Just as Ye Silong retracted his stick and the door curtain fell again, a big and smooth crow feather floated from nowhere.

Another crow?

Ye Silong wanted to reach out to grab it, but the feather seemed to be teasing him, and he couldn't grab it no matter what.

"Damn." Ye Silong leaned forward, but still didn't catch it.

"Don't be rude, just listen and hit again." Qu Yibai said.

"I don't believe it, I can't catch him." Ye Silong stretched out his hand from the gap to the limit, and his whole body was domineering between the bookshelf and the wall like a crab.

"Pa—" Ye Silong accidentally pushed a book to the ground.

The cover is made of leather with a string of English engraved on it.

"Hey, look, what is this?"

Qu Yibo was speechless, looking at the crab, "What?"

"What does this string of English mean?"

"I can't see it, you spell it out."

"Oh, okay." Ye Silong squinted his eyes and recognized the letters one by one, "P, A, R, A, D, I, S, E, L, O, S, T!"

Qu Yibai read a sentence in a low voice, the pure American pronunciation is pleasant to hear, "It's Paradise Lost."

"What kind of book is this? The cover is very tattered."

Qu Yibai was about to move his head closer, when suddenly a pair of big hands put on the shoulders of the two of them from behind, making them jump.

"What are you doing!" A thick voice followed.

Ye Silong hurriedly turned his head, he was a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and an old-fashioned shirt.

"Looking for a book." Ye Silong stood up and patted his buttocks.

"What book are you looking for?"

Ye Silong pointed to the book that fell on the ground inside, "That book."

The shopkeeper's expression was a little abnormal, "That book is not for sale."

"Why?" Qu Yibo said.

"If you don't sell it, you won't sell it."

"If you don't sell it, why would you release it?" Ye Silong retorted.

"Didn't you see that I am hiding here? How can there be guests like you who can find here?"

"Hide?" Qu Yibai caught a word.

Ye Silong immediately agreed, "Yes, why hide it?"

The shop owner was speechless, "Where did the weirdo come from? What do I love doing in my own bookstore? What are you here for?"

"We're here to find someone." Ye Silong simply fanned the wind with the map.

The owner looked choked, "Here, in the corner, looking for someone?"

"Yes, are you the boss here? Is your surname Zhao?" Qu Yibai said.

The shopkeeper looked at them more and more confused, but still said, "Yes."

"Then did your ancestors have someone like Zhao Peng?" Qu Yibai looked at the shop owner.

"What?!" The shopkeeper's surprise was really scary.

"Zhao Peng, is there any?" Ye Silong fanned the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper looked at them seriously at the moment, "What do you ask Zhao Peng for?"

Ye Silong also didn't want to beat around the bush with him, "I heard that Zhao Peng was very good at touching bones back then, so he should be a man of the hour. Why did he get the wrong gender when he got married in the dark? After that marriage, Zhao Peng didn't After a while, he stretched his legs and died."

The owner's face turned pale instantly.

"Where did you hear that?"

Ye Silong fanned the map even more wind, and slapped his messy hair on his face, "I didn't hear that, one of the male guests Zhao Peng matched with the ghost marriage was..." Ye Silong thought for a while before saying, "That's my brother .”

Qu Yibai glanced at him.

The shop owner still didn't seem to believe it, "Your brother? What's your name?"

Ye Silong stopped the Wuying map in his hand, and said word by word: "His name is Pan Zhuohua."
