Excessive ferocity due to caution

Two people were already seated in the hall.

Wang Hua and Pan Sensen.

The two of them sat around the brazier, trying to ward off the chill while whispering to each other, their conversation unreadable.

When Zhao Yi's footsteps approached, both of them looked over.

When Wang Hua's gaze fell upon the person holding a scalpel and wearing an excited smile, he was so frightened that he fell to the ground with a thud!

Depend on……

He...he...he's not going to kill someone, is he?

As Zhao Yi walked towards him step by step, the image of Bai Zhihai's death outside flashed through Wang Hua's mind, and he was so frightened that he almost wet himself!

This guy... is scarier than a ghost!

Pan Sensen's expression was wary of Wang Hua's behavior, but she still spoke first:

"Zhao Yi...who was chasing you just now?"

Zhao Yi sat down beside the brazier, put away the knife in his hand, and replied:

"ha!"

"It is a kind-hearted resident who wishes to remain anonymous."

"They're so enthusiastic!"

"Chasing after them..."

"They insisted on sending me a set of national elementary school broadcast gymnastics exercises, 'Young Eagles Take Flight'..."

Zhao Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked:

"Have you found anything?"

Pan Sensen shook his head.

"I searched several houses, but apart from encountering terrifying ghosts, there was nothing there."

Zhao Yi glanced at her and nodded with a smile.

His clothes were so clean and tidy, his breathing was so smooth, and there wasn't a speck of sweat on his body...

You're trying to fool me!

He knew that the woman hadn't actually explored anything; she was just going through the motions before returning to the central hall to wait for their news.

They are typical examples of using them as pawns.

But it's okay.

Zhao Yi was not prepared to expose her.

"By the way, Bai Zhihai went over there just now, did you see him?"

Pan Sensen also began to test Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi replied:

"I saw it."

"He was killed by a ghost."

"His death was gruesome."

Pan Sensen and Wang Hua exchanged a glance, but neither exposed Zhao Yi.

Although Bai Zhihai was not actually killed by Zhao Yi, Zhao Yi did dissect him.

Or rather... dismemberment.

"Sigh... Haunted houses are extremely dangerous, but there's nothing we can do about it."

She pretended to be saddened for a while, as if she were silently mourning for Bai Zhihai.

"Did you discover anything?"

Pan Sensen asked.

Zhao Yi took out Che Lin's memo, opened it in front of the two of them, and showed them its contents.

There is still a lot of key information here.

"Strange...why use 'again' when celebrating the First Madam's fortieth birthday?"

Pan Sensen narrowed her eyes.

Anything that seems illogical is likely intentionally designed by the game.

"Could it be... that the First Madam is already dead?"

Wang Hua chimed in quietly.

"After all, the dead...do not continue to live longer."

Pan Sensen remained silent for a moment.

"No, if the First Madam is already dead, how could she possibly have been arguing with 'Master' recently?"

She looked up, glanced at Zhao Yi who was comfortably squinting at the fire, and asked:

"Zhao Yi, what are your thoughts?"

After careful consideration, Zhao Yi said:

Why say "again"?

"I guess..."

"Perhaps she already celebrated her fortieth birthday once before?"

Pan Sensen: "..."

Wang Hua: "..."

hateful!

This guy is talking nonsense with his eyes wide open!

However, looking at the calm smile on Zhao Yi's face, Pan Sensen always felt that Zhao Yi must know something.

She sighed, shook her head, and continued reading.

"It seems the First Madam and the Second Madam have a conflict..."

Pan Sensen spoke, pointing to a portion of the text.

Wang Hua asked in confusion:

"How did you figure that out?"

Pan Sensen explained:

"Are you stupid? The First Madam called the Second Madam a vixen, which clearly shows that the Master usually favors the Second Madam more... Moreover, the fact that the Master doesn't want to have children with the First Madam also shows that the First Madam is not favored."

"As the first wife, it's quite normal for her to want to get rid of the second wife out of jealousy..."

Wang Hua seemed to be deep in thought.

Pan Sensen continued:

"Based on the information left in this memo, the master seems to be very interested in immortality..."

"And he had the butler buy a lot of glutinous rice and sticky rice... Could that be related to zombies?"

"Could he... have turned himself into a zombie?"

Although Pan Sensen is dishonest, it cannot be denied that among new players, her abilities are quite good.

Zhao Yi placed his hand by the fire, and warmth spread throughout his body.

"From what I know so far, the haunted house isn't entirely filled with ghosts... at least the first and second wives aren't dead."

"One is in Wangyue Tower, and the other is in the secondary residence."

Pan Sensen and Wang Hua exchanged a glance, the firelight flickering on their faces, suggesting that they both harbored some doubts about what Zhao Yi had said.

I believe, but not completely.

"So, where are you planning to go next?"

Pan Sensen is a deep and thoughtful person, completely different from her outward appearance.

Even at this point, she was still thinking about how to kill Zhao Yi and how to make the most of him.

She herself had no intention of personally investigating the clues.

After being inside the main house for some time, she realized that the seemingly eerie hall was actually the safest place in the haunted house.

So, she asked, "Where are you going?"

"No rush, let's wait for the others."

Zhao Yi smiled slightly, as steady as an old dog.

It was actually more convenient for Pan Sensen to do things with Luo Qili when he stayed in the main house.

The mission was to find the heart of the mansion's owner and eliminate him, but their strength was limited to 10 points.

This means that they don't need to exert too much effort to complete these two tasks.

There must be a way for them to complete the "plot kill".

Zhao glanced at the paper figures in the stairwell, then scanned the glutinous rice on the stairs.

The position of the glutinous rice has been moved.

Although a new layer was laid on top, the pattern of the glutinous rice distribution was different.

These details could not escape Zhao Yi's sharp eyes.

"Has the Second Madam visited...?"

A strange thought flashed through Zhao Yi's mind.

The paper doll nanny had told Zhao Yi that only the second madam was allowed to go to the second floor of the main house; anyone else, no matter who they were, would surely die if they entered the second floor.

"What exactly is on the second floor of the main house?"

He remembered seeing a horrifying, rotting ghost face at the second-floor window outside the mansion.

That guy... could he be 'Master'?

PS:

Sorry, I spent a lot of time making a detailed outline, but it's still a bit messy, but it's not a big problem.

The next chapter will definitely be out before 10:30!

Thank you for reading!
