I am a god in the secret world
Chapter 353: Neighbor's House
When a heavy summer rain first falls, the air is still hot and dry, and the humidity from the rain makes people feel particularly uncomfortable.
Bai Cha had to move her chair inside because the cold air was gradually rising and she had to be careful not to get sick.
She took out some biscuits from her bag and ate them while taking out the paintings.
The paintings are still heavy. If I don’t hold one firmly, one of them will fall down.
It’s the picture of the woman’s back in the rain.
Bai Cha bent down to pick it up.
But just as she bent down to touch the painting, she saw a shadow on the ground at the door in front of her out of the corner of her eye.
There is no light source in the room, and it is darker than outside, so if someone stands at the door, their shadow will be projected into the room.
Although the shadow was very faint, it was obvious that it was a woman.
Bai Cha picked up the painting slowly while looking towards the door casually.
No one is empty.
Oh no, is reality haunted too?
Come to think of it, she had met him before.
That would be amazing. If there are ghosts wandering around in real life, then what is the point of games?
Collect all the ghosts and prevent them from coming out to harm the world? And let players experience various dungeons at the same time?
Or maybe just like the idea she once had, maybe the so-called reality is just a copy?
Bai Cha stared at the door in a daze. After a while, she ate another biscuit.
I bought this matcha flavored tea. It's ok, but a bit choking. I want to drink water.
She did fill a cup with hot water, after all, her period had not yet ended.
I reached out to take the cup, my sight shifted, and I noticed out of the corner of my eye that the shadow seemed to have become a little longer.
Bai Cha picked up the cup of water, drank it, and looked outside the door.
Still nothing.
she mused.
Does it have anything to do with painting?
She just stared outside in a daze and didn't do anything else.
Time passed slowly and the rain outside gradually stopped.
After the rain, the sky cleared up and the sun came out immediately.
It was a little after two in the afternoon and the sun was still hot.
The scorching sun shines on the ground, evaporating the water vapor that has just fallen.
Bai Cha felt stuffy again and a little sleepy. She should have taken a nap at noon, but she yawned.
When I opened my eyes, I suddenly saw a figure flash past me.
It appeared like a flash and disappeared in an instant.
She pondered for a moment, packed up the paintings in her hand, picked up her bag, and decided to go home first.
As for what that weird thing is... maybe you could consider asking the game?
In a situation like this, can't the game provide some props or something?
Bai Cha went out and locked the door again.
The neighbor suddenly popped up.
"Hey, no one has lived in the Ji family for so many years, how come someone suddenly comes?"
The person who spoke was a middle-aged woman, slightly plump, with dark skin and a look of surprise on her face.
"Are you the girl from the Ji family? Your nose and mouth look exactly like your mother's. I remember I saw you when you were a child. Do you still remember me?"
The other party came over directly and looked Bai Cha up and down, and he made a sound of "tsk tsk". "Little girl, you were pretty when you were little, and now you are even prettier. How old are you? I remember that you seem to be three or four years younger than my child. You are about 20, right? Are you still in school?"
Bai Cha gave a well-behaved and polite smile.
"Yes, hello, Auntie, I'm Bai Cha, I'm here to see my mother."
"Oh, you mentioned it and I remembered your name. I only remembered your name before, which is the same name as that expensive tea! I just couldn't remember it."
"Why did you suddenly come to see your mother? I haven't seen you back for so many years..."
Bai Cha continued to smile and said, "I'm not feeling well, and I'm mainly focusing on my studies. I just graduated, so I came back to take a look. I might clean up this place later."
"Oh! It's time to clean it up. I see there seem to be a lot of weeds in your yard. But every year someone comes to clean it up, so there's nothing wrong with the house."
"Hey, you've already graduated. Did you graduate from high school or college? You're twenty, right? Or in your teens?"
"I've graduated from college. By the way, can I ask you a question?"
Bai Cha decided to take the initiative, otherwise if he let the other party continue talking, there would be no end to it.
The other party nodded and said, "Okay, just ask whatever you want to ask!"
"Look, I don't know much about my mother. Can you tell me about her?"
Gossip and the like should be used in the right place.
This question really piqued the aunt's interest.
"Now that you mention this, I have something to say. Although I married here, my sister-in-law grew up with your mother. Come, come, come and sit at my house first. I will tell you slowly. It's too sunny outside!"
As she spoke, she led the way while complaining.
"Oh my, look at the weather! It was raining heavily just now, and I thought it was finally going to be cooler, but now it's sunburned like this again!"
Baicha remained well-behaved throughout, nodding in agreement from time to time.
The structure of the other party's house is no different from my own. All the old houses around here should be like this.
When I arrived at the living room, I found an old lady sitting there. She was wearing a pink floral shirt that looked a bit deathly and was fanning herself.
Because there was no air conditioning or fan in the room.
The temperature outside was still hot at the moment. Even someone like Bai Cha, who was not very afraid of heat, felt a layer of sweat on his body.
The old lady was sweating profusely and had to pick up her clothes from time to time.
"Whose girl is this?" The old lady was also stunned when she saw Bai Cha.
The aunt next to her immediately became excited and said, "This is the girl from the Ji family next door. She hasn't been back for many years."
"Oh..." The old lady suddenly realized and looked Bai Cha up and down.
"You look a lot like your mother. I have a deep impression of your mother. She was so beautiful. When your mother was little, I wanted to adopt her as my goddaughter. Unfortunately, it's not customary in our family to adopt godparents... Come, sit down."
After a pause, the old lady said, "Turn on the fan. It's a bit hot. It just rained, so why is it so hot? But we have guests, so we shouldn't save that little bit of electricity."
Auntie nodded and rolled her eyes as she turned around.
Who is saving electricity by not allowing fans and air conditioners to be turned on at home?
She dragged Bai Cha in, also wanting to find an excuse to turn on the fan.
Who can stand this hot weather?
Bai Cha took the initiative to speak: "Then you should be very familiar with my mother's home, we are all neighbors, can you tell me about my mother?"
The old lady looked at her thoughtfully.
"I remember your mother disappeared... right?"
The old lady was obviously wondering if her mother had run away with someone, but she swallowed it back.
But it is not difficult to see from here what kind of rumors were circulating outside after the mother disappeared.
Bai Cha pursed her lips, a look of pity appearing on her face.
"Yeah, I don't know if my mother was murdered... That's why I want to learn more about her and see if I can find the murderer."
