Excessive ferocity due to caution

What do you think?

Qin Bai had already gone out to find the housekeeper to inquire about their purpose, leaving only Zhao Yi and the female ghost in the room.

The latter replied:

"What do you mean?"

Zhao Yi waved the note in his hand:

"Of course I mean this."

The female ghost replied:

"This thing is most likely left behind by Clapham's resentment."

Zhao Yi smiled and said:

"That's what I think too."

"With someone acting as a guinea pig, things seem to have become much clearer."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Bai pushed open the door and entered.

"Who are you talking to?"

He looked puzzled.

"How about with someone you can't see? What should we say to the butler?"

Qin Bai didn't delve into it further, plopped down in a chair, and poured himself a glass of water.

"Just as you guessed..."

"The housekeeper has no idea that we are doctors, and he seems to be very...repulsed by this."

"And the servants on the estate."

"They are too."

He was lost in thought.

Something is amiss. According to the descriptions of the elders who returned from the endless trials of the family, the cursed world where cursed objects are born will have rules that provide clues.

These rule-based prompts do not lie.

For example, after they enter the cursed world of Clapin, they have some new and vague memories in their minds. These memories are clues given to them by the rules of the cursed world.

—They are going to cure Clapham's "illness".

This is also their only way to leave the cursed world.

The problem, however, is that Clybin, who cursed the world, did not think he was sick and did not even see a doctor.

So how should they approach this?

He went up to a high-ranking marquis and said: "If you're not sick, walk around a bit?"

"Are we going to find Clapham now?"

Qin Bai's tone was uncertain.

Zhao Yidao:

"Do you think your screams will be more beautiful than those people's?"

Qin Bai remained silent for a moment, then spread his hands and sighed:

"Brother Zhao, although... we can't just do nothing, can we?"

"We only have three days."

Zhao Yi smiled:

"You know you only have three days, what's the panic?"

He touched his cigarette, only to find that it was sealed away in the storage facility.

"It's only a matter of time before we see Clapham, but before we do, we need to find out exactly what happened to him..."

He pondered for a moment, then pushed open the door.

"Where to?"

The cute little boy followed closely behind.

Zhao Yi said:

"Go find the housekeeper."

Qin Bai led Zhao Yi to the main hall and found the steward who was organizing the account books.

"Why are you here again?"

The butler frowned.

"Didn't I tell you already? No doctor has been called to the manor, and the Marquis is not sick."

"I am receiving you only because the Marquis instructed that all outsiders visiting the manor recently should be treated with utmost hospitality..."

Zhao Yidao:

"We are not doctors."

He paused, then explained:

"Others are the ones."

"My brother and I came here as admirers who heard about me."

"I have great respect for the Marquis's name... after all, he once had a glorious 'battle record'."

Upon hearing this, the butler turned and glanced at the two of them, his expression indifferent.

"Then I'm afraid you'll have made a wasted trip."

"Recently, the Marquis has been going about his own business and has not been seeing any outsiders."

Zhao Yi asked tentatively:

"Then may I ask... if we could take a look at the place where the Marquis usually works and lives?"

The butler thought about it carefully and nodded:

"That's no problem."

"The Marquis did not forbid outsiders from entering his study."

After saying this, he led the two to the place where the Marquis usually worked.

"You can see for yourselves. In the past, the Marquis didn't mind visitors entering his study, but now it's been a long time since anyone has come here..."

After the butler finished speaking, he left.

The two men stood in the study and began a slow search.

There was some dust on the cover.

But it's not heavy.

Someone should have come in and cleaned it about a week ago.

Many of the books displayed in the study were brand new, and Clayton clearly didn't like looking at these boring things at all.

And his job... ha, he doesn't have a job at all.

There were some letters piled up on the table.

According to the calendar, the earliest letter was from three years ago.

All of these letters were addressed to the church.

At first glance, the above content seems quite ordinary, without any valuable clues.

Qin Bai opened it, glanced at it casually, and then tossed it aside.

After Zhao Yi opened the letter, a light immediately flashed in his eyes!

...

【My esteemed Sage (Master!)】

Is everything alright at the church? (I have something I'd like to tell you!)

Last month, I heard that the church was short of resources, so I immediately donated half of my and Jennifer's savings to the church. The adults there praised my action and kindness. (Last month I spent half of my savings to buy some things from the church.)

[There are some books I really like; they describe how people can atone to the "true God" by accepting suffering, thereby receiving the "true God's" blessings, going to God's world, and serving by His side for life. (I also want to become a member of the church.)]

However, as an uneducated and uneducated person, my understanding of written language is very limited. If only I had a teacher who taught me to read and write when I was a child, even if it meant paying extra tuition! (I hope you can introduce me to the church, even if it costs me!)

...

"Tsk tsk..."

Zhao Yi clicked his tongue.

He originally thought that Clapham was just a scumbag who ruined his wife, but now it seems that this guy is actually quite something.

The contents in parentheses are impossible to discern without genuine experience and shrewdness.

Although Clapham was just a farmer before, he was ambitious and ruthless enough.

It's not surprising that a man who could tie his kind wife to a rack, cut open her stomach with a knife, stab her and his child to death, and then throw them into a fire to burn them to ashes together would do anything heinous.

From this simple letter, Zhao Yi could tell that after using the female ghost Mesa to rise to power, Klaibin did not just laze around, but was actually learning a lot.

His ambitions... extend far beyond the title of marquis!

On the table were portraits of Clapham and his new wife, Jennifer.

She was a very young and beautiful woman.

A happy smile graced her face, and her slightly protruding belly and the hand resting on it indicated that Jennifer was also pregnant.

Zhao Yi hardly needed to think to guess that this woman's final fate wouldn't be much better than that of the witch Mesa.

"What a cunning and cruel devil."

Zhao Yi smiled.

Qin Bai, who was standing nearby, came over:

Is there anything special about this letter?

Zhao Yi handed him the letter.

"You're too young to understand."

"Help me look for more letters... especially those from Clapham and the Sage."

PS: Second update.

I've been updating earlier lately, so everyone should go to bed early after reading.

Some readers have previously mentioned staying up late to check for updates, and we sincerely apologize for that!

I'll start writing earlier from now on.

Good night!!
