Bang.
Someone walked out from inside. He was wearing a military uniform with one bar and two stars. His military rank was not low. Behind him were two soldiers.
"Masters, what happened just now was just a small game. Please don't be angry." That person opened his mouth and said, "The letter was sent by Old Master Song to everyone. Miss Li Ya, Master Zhang and Master Wu Fan have all met Old Master once. Old Master is highly respected and is also very old, so it's really not convenient for him to come here. I will be in charge of showing everyone around today."
Everyone seemed to be listening to what this person was saying.
Only a certain highness really couldn't bear to see how his pet was even the slightest bit dirty. He was currently holding a white handkerchief, and kept his eyes lowered as he wiped the red mark off Helian Weiwei's hand.
When that person saw this scene, he seemed to be stunned for a moment, but in the next second, he returned to his normal state. "The cars outside have already been prepared. There will be special people guarding your vehicles. The old man wants to meet everyone."
In other words, the meeting place was not here.
Just as Helian Weiwei thought, someone was testing them.
However, it was understandable.
After all, it was the military.
The military had always done things like this and always made sure they left no loopholes or traces. It was hard to tell what was real and what wasn't.
Outside the courtyard, there were three military Hummers and they were very tough looking.
The soldiers who were watching the cars walked over and saluted that person. Each of them had neatly ironed military uniforms on hand, and there were both men and women's sizes.
These weren't the standard camouflage uniforms that most people saw on TV, but the uniforms worn by the soldiers that marched the square at military parades.
"We'll need everyone to change into these uniforms," said that man politely. "Thank you."
Anyone who dabbled in fengshui and the like knew that in this world, the ones who burnt the most incense and prayed hardest to Buddha were the government officials, followed by the merchants.
In today's society, it was no longer allowed for the people to believe in these gods and Buddhas. Therefore, no official was willing to let others know that he believed in these things.
Not to mention an important general like Old Master Song.
However, Master Zhang and the others could not understand. In the past, when Old Master Song saw them, they could tell that he did not believe in them, and certainly didn't believe that there were ghosts in the world.
Why was it different this time?
He even made them wear military uniforms before they met. It seemed like something really happened and he didn't want anyone to know.
Within a few minutes.
Everyone had changed their clothes.
As soon as Helian Weiwei came out, she saw a certain highness standing not too far away. He was dressed in a military uniform, and looked handsome and dazzling. The sunlight shone on the military badge on his shoulder, emitting a faint glow.
Those black gloves were still wrapped around his slender fingers, and the double-b.r.e.a.s.ted jacket was luxurious and perfect.
He was looking straight at her and his direct gaze made her think of those major generals from the red army.
He was really handsome!
Helian Weiwei's eyes were shining. This kind of man was hers, so she was definitely the one who profited from this relationship.
She definitely did!
Baili Jiajue did not not understand what she was so proud of. He stretched out his hand in amus.e.m.e.nt and pulled her over. His fingertips lovingly brushed across her face as he raised his thick eyebrows and his entire body exuded a sense of abstinence. "What is it?"
Chapter 1097 - Tacit Understanding Between the Two of Them
"Oh, I got it on my face when I changed." Helian Weiwei touched her own face and felt an urge to take a photo of him right now. But then again, it was better that he looked like this only in front of him, so she put the phone back into her pocket.
Baili Jiajue had long noticed her movements, and his eyes deepened. There were some things that he seemed to have forgotten to do to her last night.
But that was okay, he could completely make up for it the next night... When he thought about this, the corner of his mouth curved into a smile.
Helian Weiwei always felt that this smile was a bit evil. Just as she was about to ask what he was laughing about, the rest of them came out too.
Jing Zifeng was undoubtedly the most outstanding person besides His Highness in terms of looks. The military uniform seemed to have been tailored for him, and every inch was very fitting.
As for the other people...Wu Fan was a monk, so when he was wearing a monk's robe, it couldn't be seen, but when he wore the military uniform, his pot belly became very obvious. Master Zhang's figure was still fine, it was just that this person's temperament was somewhat pretentious, so even when he wore a military uniform, he looked a bit like a traitor.
After they were all done changing, they got into the cars.
Their eyes had to be blindfolded, and that person once again apologized to them.
Helian Weiwei did not object. Wearing the blindfold meant she could just sleep in the car.
Baili Jiajue could also see that she was still sleepy. The two of them sat in the back and he got Helian Weiwei to just lie down on his l.a.p.
He also wore an blindfold on his eyes. However, this did not affect his ability to identify the surrounding dangers. His fingers stroked Helian Weiwei's hair from time to time, and the side of his face was so handsome that even the driver couldn't help but take a look through the rear mirror.
Helian Weiwei only felt very comfortable. She nestled into Baili Jiajue's embrace like a cat.
After he noticed the movements of the person in his embrace, the lines of his thin lips became much gentler. He bent down and kissed the top of her head.
Thankfully the soldiers were well disciplined and could keep calm no matter what. Otherwise, this amount of affection in front of them would have driven them mad by now.
The one who was driving coughed lightly.
Baili Jiajue raised his eyebrows disapprovingly. He was going to dote on the person he wanted to dote on.
That soldier immediately felt the aggressive look from Baili Jiajue from behind. He bit his lip aggrievedly and whispered to the person next to him, "Captain, when do you think I'll be able to find a girlfriend?"
The captain thought to himself, "How am I supposed to know? I haven't found one myself yet!"
However, he could not show it on the surface. He only replied in a dignified manner, "Keep your eyes on the road."
The scenery outside gradually darkened. The weather in June changed as it pleased. At first, there was only a little wind, but when the car came to a stop, it was already raining heavily.
The sky was constantly rumbling with thunder. That sound always made people's hair stand on end.
Master Zhang was the first to walk out of the car.
As soon as he hopped out, he was splashed by the puddles on the ground.
Someone was holding an umbrella for him, but the rain was simply too heavy. It hit the umbrella noisily and made one feel even more uncomfortable.
Why did it start to rain?
Besides, wasn't that a terribly long drive? They had driven for more than two hours already. They had probably left the capital and reached the Hebei region.
Master Zhang was a pretty shrewd person after all. He seemed to be full of nothing but hot air, but he was calculating all these things along the way.
"Alright, everyone, you can take off your blindfolds." The captain's voice rang out again. It sounded really stuffy because it was covered by the sound of the rain.
Helian Weiwei's blindfold was taken off by Baili Jiajue. As soon as her eyes opened, she saw a flash i
n the horizon and directly landed in the forest not far away.
In an instant, countless black crows flew over her head and screeched, as if they were a sign of something.
This saying was not without reason.
Anything that was not clean would become extra ferocious on a rainy day.
In addition to the black crows flying over the sky, there was also this military villa built in the suburbs in front of them. It was not a good sign.
Master Zhang's expression changed a little. "Why does it look like the scene before something suddenly comes back to life?"
As if in response to Master Zhang's words, another bolt of lightning flashed across the sky.
Then, there was a heart-wrenching scream!
The scream was still panting too. Everyone could tell immediately that it was coming from the villa!
"What was that?" Li Ya immediately turned around and asked the captain who had brought them here.
The captain's voice was very calm. "When you guys go in, you'll know when you see the Old Master Song."
Heaven Master Zhang didn't dare to go in. However, with so many people around, he couldn't just run away.
Moreover, no one could offend General Song either. No matter how afraid he was, he could only force himself to go in.
The rest were also a little hesitant.
After all, that cry was too terrifying. On a rainy day, it sounded especially terrifying.
Fortunately, the villa was brightly lit. These lights seemed to have dispelled a lot of yin energy.
The interior decoration was very gentle and grand. In the center of the hall, a large knife was hanging horizontally.
As for the other places, yellow talismans were pasted everywhere. There were even wind chimes hanging at the door.
The first thing Helian Weiwei saw was that wind chime.
Whose idea was it to hang wind chimes here?
Didn't they know that wind chimes gathered Yin energy that attracted ghosts?
"Sir, I've brought him here."
Upon hearing these words, the old man who had been sitting on the sofa all this time finally turned his head around. He was indeed old. Even his eyebrows were white and his hands were covered with age spots, but these didn't affect the military temperament that he had acc.u.mulated over the years, especially when he looked at people. His eyes were filled with a sense of oppression.
"Please take a seat. It must have been hard for the masters to come here in the rain." The old man smiled with a walking stick that had a dragon head on the top in his hand. He had the demeanor of a general.
However, he had been in a high position for a long time. So even though he had been taught well, his words always sounded like he was giving orders.
Master Zhang knew how to act appropriately, so he immediately said, "It's not hard on us, it's not hard at all. If you need something done, just tell me directly. When I received the registered letter, I was a little puzzled and I thought it was a prank."
"The registered letter was written by my granddaughter. I didn't know about it at first." The old man's voice deepened. "Many days ago, she started to say that there was a ghost at home but I didn't believe it. In order to ask for help, she could only letters to exorcists via registered mail."
"However, the people who came before had all come one by one, and there were accidents during the ghost-hunting process. It's not good for such things to spread, so I brought her here. But even so, she would become very afraid at night. She said that there were some more exorcists who would be able to deal with this, but in order to prevent the accidents from happening again, she wrote a letter to all the exorcists she knew at the same time."
Chapter 1098 - Your Highness, Weiwei Is in Danger
Master Zhang's mouth was agape, as if he had not expected such a reason at all.
Moreover, each one that came ended up dying...
Master Zhang and the monk looked at each other. Their hearts trembled, but they did not show it on their faces.
Anyway, there were so many of them this time, so they should be fine.
Master Zhang's expression changed as he thought of it this way. He said confidently, "Don't worry, General Song. Everything will be better after tonight."
"I know that all of you are the best in the industry." The old man smiled, as if he believed Master Zhang's words. However, he continued, "I've heard about the people who came before all of you. Some of them didn't know anything and wanted to deceive us, while some of them were really talented, but they didn't escape the disaster the next day."
When the old man said this, everyone understood that the old man didn't completely believe in their abilities.
"I am a person who survived by arming myself with a gun. I do not believe in ghosts." The old man sighed, then he said, "But my granddaughter is different. I have not cared enough for her. Her parents have passed away a long time ago, but I often do not come back and I just live in the army all year round. For so many years, this girl has lived alone. Now that something like this has happened, I hope that everyone can really help her."
This time, Master Zhang didn't dare to say too much and just nodded obediently.
The old man turned his head and said to Li Ya, "My granddaughter trusts Miss Li Ya the most. She often watches your show and says that if she can invite you here, things might turn around."
"General Song, you are to kind." Compared to Master Zhang, Li Ya was much more unfathomable. She held a crystal ball in her hand, and looked as if she could really make accurate divinations.
The old man nodded and said, "What else do the few of you want to ask?"
Master Zhang and the monk were both drinking tea. Li Ya was also just sitting there in her mysterious looking black chiffon dress. She didn't say anything and looked very much like a witch.
There was a brief moment of silence in the hall.
The old man's gaze swept over them.
Helian Weiwei saw that no one spoke, so she put her teacup down and there was a smile in her voice. "You haven't told us about how this deal is going to work and how you're going to pay us the commission."
Everyone else got a shock and even the captain who brought them here was stunned by this question.
There was actually someone who dared to ask General Song such a question.
He was from the military after all, so his reaction speed was also fast. The old man stretched out his hand to block the captain who was about to speak and smiled. "Of course I will pay everyone, but that will depend on how capable all of you are. If you're just one of those swindlers on TV, then I'll make you leave immediately."
"Oh? Distributing the commission according to ability isn't a bad method of doing things." Helian Weiwei crossed her slender legs and smiled brightly. "I still have a few more questions for General Song."
The old man raised his hand. "Please speak."
"Earlier you said that you're not the one who wrote us the registered letter, so the idea of using an escape room to test our ability didn't come from you either, right?" Helian Weiwei's voice was very flat.
The old man paused for a moment. "Yes, it's my granddaughter's idea. She doesn't want to see swindlers come here and never return, and I also agree with her idea. At the very least, we can test everyone's courage at the courtyard house. Some masters in name hadn't even started yet and were already so afraid that they wanted to escape. If such a person came to deal with this problem, he would only end up losing his life."
Master Zhang heard these words and guiltily lowered his head as he took a sip of tea.
Helian Weiwei thought to herself that this General Song was really clever. Every sentence he said achieved the effect he wanted.
Helian Weiwei never beat around the bush when it came to smart people, so she asked the second question directly, "Since you said that you don't believe in ghosts, then after such a thing happened, shouldn't your first reaction be to find a doctor to check if your granddaughter has any mental problems? Why did you allow h
er to write these invitations instead?"
The old man didn't speak, as if he was thinking about something.
Helian Weiwei's eyes narrowed. "Or did something happen before that made you feel that she has indeed been followed by a ghost?"
The old man didn't expect Helian Weiwei to ask such questions after he had just said a few sentences.
He raised his eyes and suddenly smiled. "Young lady, you're really not simple."
At this time, the captain whispered something into the old man's ear.
The old man raised his eyebrows and looked at Helian Weiwei again. "The questions at the courtyard house were all solved by you? "
"Yes." Helian Weiwei didn't feel that it was difficult at all since it just took some observation and imagination. She was from the Tang Sect in the first place, so if she couldn't guess these simple tricks, then her life was lived in vain.
The old man was silent for a while before he opened his mouth again and said to Helian Weiwei, "Something did happen before this. Last year, Tongtong went out with a few of her classmates. One of them met an accident. It was night time, the sea was at high tide, and no one knew why she went to the seaside at that time, but she ended up drowning just like that. Later on, a doctor helped to counsel these students."
"I originally thought that this was the end of the matter. I didn't expect that half a year later, just a few days ago, Tongtong kept saying that something seemed to be following her. Not only Tongtong, but even the guests who came to stay at our place at that time also said that they heard someone crying and even saw a figure by the window. They were so scared that they took a plane and left the next day. I didn't tell anyone about this matter, but at this point, I should mention this."
"The four friends who were with Tongtong at that time are also here. They were worried and wanted to come and take a look. They're all staying on the second floor. I hope that everyone can catch this ghost tonight."
Helian Weiwei did not speak.
Of course, Master Zhang swooped in on any chance to speak and said, "We will do our best to protect Miss Song. "
