It was unknown whether it was due to psychological factors or not, but in this room, Wu Chen actually did not feel the cold and gloomy atmosphere that he emitted from outside.

Gong Rumi took two steps forward, opened the window, and looked at the street in the inn.

Even Gong Rumi was thinking about whether he should find an excuse to come over to Wu Chen's place at night. In any case, the two of them had set up Spirit Accumulation Realm, so it would not be a big deal even if they did not sleep for the night.

Even if he knew that as long as he didn't break the ghost's rules, he wouldn't encounter any danger, yet being trapped in an unfamiliar environment with a ghost in front of him, Gong Rumi was unavoidably a little afraid.

"Where are you going to start your investigation?" Wu Chen sat down and poured himself a cup of tea.

Everything here seemed to be the same as outside.

"I plan to start with this boss. My parents mentioned this inn the most, so he is the most suspicious." Gong Rumi did not stop Wu Chen from drinking the tea here either. They would stay here for another five days at worst.

"You said ten years have passed, and the original owner of this inn is still the boss now?" Are you mistaken? " Wu Chen casually asked.

"Impossible. The boss and my parents are exactly the same. He hasn't changed at all in the past ten years, so there's definitely something wrong with him." Gong Rumi rebutted in a rare manner.

"Then you stay here and observe him. I'll go out and take a look." Wu Chen didn't really care about Gong Rumi's parents, and staying by her side was merely because Gong Rumi understood the place better.

However, Wu Chen felt that what Gong Rumi said might not be true. She decided to look for herself and find out what exactly this so called Spirit Sealing Ghost Garden was like.

Walking out of the inn, he found that the streets outside were rather cold. It seemed that it was now noon here, and there were many stalls selling food.

"It looks like a harmonious scene." Wu Chen watched on as he walked.

Most of the people on this street were elderly and had children, so it was very rare to see a young man in his prime.

"Haha, time to go home and eat!" A group of children ran in front of Wu Chen, bringing a faint dust with them.

"Xiao Bao, don't run so fast. Wait for Grandma." An old man with silver hair was leaning on a walking stick behind him as he shouted softly.

"Grandma, hurry up!" The one called Xiao Bao was a little boy who was around four or five years old. He was running around madly with a group of kids older than him.

"Sigh, I'm old, old wee wee wee wee wee wee wee wee wee wee wee wee wee wee wee wee wee wee wee wee wee wee wee wee wee wee wee wee weasel." The old granny, however, used her cane to stay where she was and sighed. The wrinkles on her face seemed to have deepened.

Wu Chen was initially observing everyone around him, but now he was attracted by the old granny.

"Let me help you." Wu Chen walked two steps forward, and gently supported the old man.

"Ah, cough cough, young man, you must be a foreigner. It has been a long time since I last saw a young man here." The old granny coughed, and looked at Wu Chen with some happiness.

"Why are all the young people here gone?" Seeing that the old man was willing to talk to him, Wu Chen also followed her instructions and started to chat.

At this moment, a childish voice sounded from the side.

"Bad man, you are not allowed to get close to Grandma!" Xiao Bao ran over and punched Wu Chen in the thigh, unexpectedly causing Wu Chen to feel a sharp pain.

"Xiao Bao, what are you doing! He's not a bad guy! " The old granny hurriedly scolded him.

"Yes, I'm not a bad person." Wu Chen immediately suppressed the shock in his heart, and caressed Xiao Bao's head as if he was coaxing a child, and released his good will.

Wu Chen just now was in disbelief, he was already in the Peak of the Spirit Accumulation Realm now. Ordinary people might not even be able to cut his skin with a blade, but that child just now had easily made him feel pain.

This also allowed him to understand that the Spirit Sealing Ghost Garden was indeed different from the outside world.

As for the Xiao Bao's group of young friends, when they saw that Xiao Bao had returned, they also chased after him and looked at Wu Chen, the stranger with curiosity.

"Humph, you're not allowed to get close to Grandma in the future!" Seemingly because Wu Chen really did not make any unnecessary movements, Xiao Bao snorted lightly and barely forgiven Wu Chen.

"Heh, then you'll have to take good care of Grandma as well in the future!" Wu Chen squatted down and rubbed his head whether or not he knew a child like him.

"Hey!" Just then, Wu Chen suddenly exclaimed out.

He seemed to have seen a flash of golden light in Xiao Bao's eyes, but when he looked closer, it was as if he didn't see anything.

"Young man, you are a good person. Let me tell you, the Feng Shui here isn't good recently. Within five days, there is a high chance of someone dying. If there's nothing important here, you should hurry up and leave." The old granny consoled slowly, pulling Wu Chen back from his thoughts.

"Did you see anything?" When Wu Chen heard the old man's words, he had a nagging feeling that she had a double meaning.

Five days, was it not the time for the Sea Sky Secret Realm to close? To be able to accurately calculate the time, could it be that this old granny was also an expert?

At this moment, the old granny's face suddenly became flat as if she had lost all of her moisture and became like an old tree bark.

"Cough cough, it seems like I won't be able to last these five days." The old granny coughed twice, as though she was about to fall down. Wu Chen immediately grabbed her arm. However, just as she touched it, she felt her hand wither.

"Grandmother, what's wrong with you!?" Xiao Bao shouted, as he could clearly see the change in his grandmother.

"Good boy, Xiao Bao, grandma is fine, if grandma … What if … If he could hold on for a little longer … "Then that's good." The old granny extended her right hand that was like dried wood, wanting to touch Xiao Bao's face, but on the way, she powerlessly put it down.

Without making any movement, Wu Chen could easily feel that this old man no longer had any signs of life.

"Grandmother …!" Xiao Bao immediately started crying, and the few friends beside him all had sad expressions.

"What's going on? How did a person suddenly become like this? " Wu Chen was agitated by Xiao Bao's weeping. He turned his head to look at his surroundings but suddenly realized that the people who were selling various kinds of food nearby were all expressionless, as if they did not see anything.

"Xiao Bao, do you know how your grandmother became like this?" Wu Chen frowned.

The hawkers by the side of the road seemed to take this matter as normal, but this was the most abnormal part.

Xiao Bao continued to cry and he completely ignored Wu Chen, making him even more agitated.

"I know, I know!" A little girl around seven or eight years old suddenly raised her hand and said.

"This is the Curse of the Bee God. I heard that as long as one's lifespan is up, the Bee God will descend and bring the soul of a person to the Extreme Paradise." The little girl raised her head and stuck out her chest, looking like she wanted to be praised.

"I know that as well. Bee God, is that the bee with six wings? I had seen it before when Grandpa brought me to the Soul Sealing Academy." One of the boys did not want to be outdone, so he directly told her about the Bee God's appearance.

"No, the Bee God doesn't have six wings!" The little girl and he were arguing until their faces and ears were red, completely disregarding the fact that his companion Xiao Bao was still crying sorrowfully at the side.

Wu Chen frowned, the words that the little boy said just now reminded him of the quest given by the system just now: Look for the hexapterous egg. He wanted to find useful information from their argument, so he didn't give them a chance to fight.

"Could it be that the hexapterous egg is here, and what is the Bee God's curse? And the Soul Sealing Academy, can the Spirit Sealing Ghost Garden hold the entire academy!? " Wu Chen's brows jumped, the two children had reported a lot of information, but all of this made him even more confused.
