CH 93.3

A tapping sound on the wooden board rang out twice and S419M complained: [Lord Host, why do you keep tapping the coffin? Don’t tap it, it’s weird and scary.]

Bai Lixin frowned slightly, and lowered eyes to the coffin before him: [The first time was me tapping, but it wasn’t me this time. ]

S419M: [……]

Escape system: [Fuck, I’m scared, wuuu.]

Ghost!!!

Help!

The tapping came again and with more urgency this time. The tapping was accompanied by the sound of nails scratching and scraping on the wooden board.

The sound was sharp and piercing, crashing into Bai Lixin’s ears with a bang.

In the live broadcast room.

[Ah, I’m getting goosebumps, this extreme oppression is making me numb.]

[It’s late at night, I’m in the room by myself. I even feel like someone is behind me right now.]

[Don’t say it! The moment I heard “Fengcheng”, I knew this copy had to be evil.]

[What’s wrong with Fengcheng?]

[The name “Fengcheng” is synonymous with a ghost town.]

[…Ahh, but I don’t want to miss God Xin’s wonderful moments, someone save me.]

[Brothers and sisters, I’ve used the quilt sealing technique, so I’m going to push through.]

[Good idea! I’m going to do it too! I won’t be afraid any more.]

[Alright, let’s continue to watch the livestream.]

—

S419M gulped, and said with a trembling voice: [Lord host, is this Lord Li a *fraudulent corpse?]

Bai Lixin looked up at the lonely full moon in the sky, and looked down at the coffin, his expression suddenly became subtle: [It shouldn’t be a fraudulent corpse, today is the first seven, if there are ghosts in this copy, then Lord Li’s ghost should be ready to appear.]

[So don’t be afraid, it’s just a ghost.]

S419M: [???]

‘What do you mean it’s just a ghost?

Ghosts are more scary, okay?’

The Escape system stabilized itself: [It’s fine, it seems that this coffin can suppress ghosts. It won’t be able to come out….]

The next second, the escape system’s voice came to an abrupt stop.

Bai Lixin easily pulled out a nail.

S419M: [……]

Escape system: [……]

‘What are you doing?!

What are you doing?!

Aren’t you the smartest?

Why are you courting death today?!’

As if feeling the movement outside, the tapping sound inside suddenly quieted down.

Bai Lixin: [I can’t help but release it. Locust wood is the most Yin wood. It specializes in breeding evil, while steel nails and blood of a black dog can suppress ghosts. The person who did this intended to use this coffin to turn Lord Li’s spirit into an evil ghost.]

He grabbed another steel nail, shook it around, and the steel nail easily followed the movement: [This steel nail looks strong, but as you can see, it is not firmly embedded inside. It can be seen that this person understands qihuang techniques, and he must be aware that locust wood shouldn’t be used for a coffin. He deliberately used it instead of wood that could ward off evil spirits.]

[This person was planning to use a coffin made from locust wood to raise an evil spirit, and when strong enough, it would break through the seal.]

[I think that person wants an evil spirit that can break the seal. It will be dangerous if I don’t release it now and let it leave after the first seven days.]

Bai Lixin pulled out the last three nails in succession, and easily lifted the coffin with his bare hands, revealing the corpse inside.

At the same time, a vague and hazy shadow also floated out of the coffin.

The shadow was slightly fat and greasy. It stood next to the coffin and blankly looked around.

S419M: [Lord host! It is Lord Li. Well, the ghost is here, quickly ask him who murdered him! Won’t your task be finished?]

Bai Lixin was not anxious: [I don’t believe it can be that simple.]

Despite these words, Bai Lixin still walked up to Lord Li, “Lord.”

But the strange thing is that Lord Li’s ghost seemed to be oblivious to all; it kept wandering around the coffin.

Bai Lixin saw that the ghost had no intention of leaving, so he took out a flashlight from the backpack and looked at the corpse in the coffin.

As described by the system, Lord Li’s death was gruesome.

There was hardly a piece of intact flesh on the body; the chest was stripped open; the heart, liver, and lungs were all missing.

The injuries didn’t look like they were from a sharp weapon, and the ruptured places were hideous and festering. They looked untidy and more like bite marks from a wild animal.

Because the wound was large, it extended to the stomach and the intestines, which had not been taken out, were leaking out from the opening.

Bai Lixin looked down and lifted the clothes that covered Lord Li.

No wonder there was no child; he turned out to be an eunuch.

S419M: [Lord host, Lord Li’s ghost has moved!]

Bai Lixin looked up and found that the translucent soul was wobbling off to one direction at an extremely slow speed.

From the direction he was going, it seemed that he was moving to the Li residence.

Bai Lixin restored the coffin, and filled the grave with soil, all which took about five minutes.

When everything was restored to its original state, he followed Lord Li’s ghost and kept pace with him.

It was the soul, but it felt more like a mass of memories.

He can’t see others, and is blindly following certain activities from his life.

s419M: [This Lord Li was obviously an eunuch, so why marry 18 wives? No wonder the Lord God was set up as an adopted son, he doesn’t resemble this face at all.]

When they were almost reaching the Li residence, Bai Lixin took out a cloak from the backpack that could confuse his identity for a short time.

With the hood completely hiding his face, Bai Lixin easily jumped in from the wall, and again silently followed Lord Li.

Two servants passed by, talking and laughing as they walked through the garden. Lord Li went straight through their bodies without a pause.

One of them suddenly shivered, “I just suddenly felt a chill, what’s going on?”

Servant number two, “Today is the first seven of the master.”

Servant number one, “It’s night time, can you not scare me so much? Let’s hurry back, the second concubine is still waiting for us to send her ‘medicine’.”

Servant number two, “Go, go, go, go.”

Waiting for the two servants left in a hurry, Bai Lixin silently followed Lord Li’s footsteps.

So far, it seems that others couldn’t see the ghost.

Maybe it’s because his power was very weak, or maybe this copy was set up so that people couldn’t see the ghosts.

Bai Lixin followed behind Lord Li through the long corridor, and the light in front of him was getting dimmer and dimmer.

Escape system: [In the front is Lord Li’s bedroom. It was also the place where he was killed. Perhaps the events of that day will be recreated.]

Just when Lord Li was about to enter the bedroom, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

After standing in the silent and dark corridor for a while, he suddenly turned around and walked in another direction.

Bai Lixin was stunned for a moment and followed closely behind Lord Li.

The originally silent and dim lights grew brighter and brighter, the courtyard in front of this building was densely lit, even the trees and rockery had lights hanging there.

The entrance to the courtyard had no gate, but an arched door.

Escape system: [Ahead is the courtyard of the eighth concubine, the one called Brother Yun.]

Seeing Lord Li go inside, Bai Lixin took out the invisibility prop card.

After becoming invisible, Bai Lixin saw Lord Li go straight through the closed door and into the room a short distance away.

Bai Lixin walked to the door of the room. He was about to push the door when he heard two hurried footsteps behind him.

A servant came over and knocked on the door, “Concubine eight, I’ve brought you medicine.”

A thick male voice said, “Come in.”

It was completely different from the pretentious voice he heard during the day, the voice was low but natural.

The moment the door of the room was opened, Bai Lixin also walked in.

The servant carefully put the steaming black medicine on the table, and said respectfully, “Concubine Pat, good medicine is bitter, you should drink it while it’s hot.”

Bai Lixin looked up at the man in the room. He had changed out of his cheongsam and put on a red robe.

The face powder was also removed, revealing the handsome features.

This person was born with a masculine face. It felt contradictory when he had deliberately disguised himself as enchanting, and he now looks harmonious.

The man looked at the soup with disgust. He picked it up and drank it all before slamming the bowl on the tray, “Okay, I’m done, hurry up and get out.”

The servant bowed and took the medicine bowl. He peeked at the man and reminded him, “Concubine eight, today is the master’s first seven, you’d better not dress so brightly.”

The man sneered, his eyes filled with hatred, “How joyous that he died, shouldn’t I secretly wear red clothes to celebrate? Get out of here, is the master’s business something a slave should talk about?!”

The servant did not dare to say anything else, he hurriedly carried the medicine bowl and retreated.

The door of the room closed, and the man sat slumped in the empty room, surrounded by the gathering of lights.

What he didn’t know was that the seemingly empty room, in fact, had other people.

Bai Lixin focused his attention on Lord Li who was not far away.

Lord Li slowly crossed the hall and walked straight to the bed.

He bent down, his hand reached under the bed and made an action of pulling something out.

Something must have been pulled out.

Then he made a gesture like he was opening a box, and his hand searched around in the air.

It did not take long to find what he wanted, and when he stood up again, Bai Lixin noticed that his right hand was clenched, as if he had something in his hand.

The next moment, Lord Li raised his arm high up, and flung it to the bed with force.
