Shen Tuo then explained to me that when the little girl stopped her companion from talking, her eyes unconsciously glanced towards a room. From Shen Tuo's experience, there was a high chance that Zhao Xue lived in that room.

I also think that it makes a lot of sense. Besides being afraid of being heard by my young master, the only person who is still afraid of saying such words is that wronged young mistress. Judging from the current situation, the Eldest Young Master must be welcoming guests at the front. Therefore, the direction that the girl was looking at must be Zhao Xue's room!

At this time, Shen Tuo displayed the calmness a police officer should have. Of course, he also had a keen observation skill.

I even felt pressured to the point of breathing. After all, everything that Shen Tuo had said was just a guess, and in this room in front of us, the person who entered the door wasn't Zhao Xue, but some kind of fiendish ghost.

Shen Tuo turned around and waved his hand towards me. I understood what was going on and quickly squatted down. Just as Shen Tuo was about to enter, I suddenly thought of something and grabbed onto his clothes.

Shen Tuo jumped up in shock and turned his head back to glare at me. I let out a shameful smile and fished out the little fellow from my pocket. "Let this guy go. He's so young, it shouldn't be easy for him to be discovered."

Shen Ta probably felt that what I said was reasonable, so he nodded his head in agreement.

This little guy was also full of energy. He arched his body and my hand started to beat. Like a little mouse, he found a crack in the door and effortlessly squeezed through it.

After a while, the little fellow walked out with a relaxed expression. It struggled to climb onto my hand. It spread its two small hands and softly said, "This room is empty."

Shen Ta and I looked at each other in doubt. According to Shen Ta's observation, Zhao Xue's room should indeed be in this direction. If it wasn't this room, then it should be somewhere nearby.

We went back to the second room. The little guy scurried in sensibly, but came out the next second. His face turned red from fright. "That person is eating someone else."

For a moment, I didn't understand. Shen Ta couldn't hold back his curiosity any longer and climbed up to the window. I sneakily followed Shen Ta and looked inside. There was a big man sitting at the table, and he was dressed differently from the well-mannered people outside.

The muscles all over his body had just started to rot. With just a glance, it was obvious that he paid a lot of attention to fitness when he was alive. The skin on his belly and arms peeled down like a wall, but the ends were still attached to his body, swaying wildly as he gorged himself.

His flesh began to rot, too, and a few white maggots weaved through his flesh, making me sick until I could not help but retch.

I quickly reacted, covering my mouth with my hands behind my ears. However, it was already too late. The people in the room had already heard my voice.

He shouted, "Who's outside?"

For a moment we didn't know how to answer, so we just looked at each other in silence.

Then came the sound of the big man's footsteps, approaching, and I knew that the big man must be suspicious and was coming out to see what was going on.

I looked around and saw that we had nowhere to hide, and if we moved now, there would be a noise, and I realized that we had reached a point of no return.

But if that big guy comes out and sees us, he'll be shouting again, and if he calls everyone in, the consequences will be even worse.

Shen Tuo had no choice but to use all of his strength in the instant that the big fellow opened the door and returned the large piece of his head back into the room. I quickly followed him into the room and closed the door behind me.

However, it seems that Shen Tuo isn't the big guy's opponent. I watched helplessly as the big guy lifted Shen Tuo up with one hand and threw him to the ground.

Then Big Al looked at us, smiling happily and licking his lips. At this moment, the little guy suddenly shouted in my hand, "Not good, quickly run away! He wants to eat you like food!"

Hearing this, I quickly retreated to the door and tried to escape. On the other hand, I thought to save Shen Ta, there's no way that the bedroom would leave Shen Ta here to escape by himself.

Just as the big guy was about to pounce on me, Shen Ta quickly got up and stuck a charm on the back of the big guy's head.

The big bloke seemed to feel the pain and turned his head to slap Shen Tuo to the ground again. Shen Tuo's face was smacked to the ground, and blood seemed to be flowing out, but here we cannot bleed!

"Shen Tuo, wipe the blood off!"

Shen Tuo wiped his face and wiped the blood droplets that were sticking out of his hands. He immediately stood up like a carp, and just as the big guy was about to reach out and grab me, Shen Tuo finally started chanting. The big guy suddenly stopped on the spot, as if time had stopped, and he stood there motionless.

Next, Shen Tuo dripped the blood on his hands onto the rune, not knowing what he was doing.

Just then, a voice came out from outside, "What was that sound just now? Was it coming from this room? I think I feel some other power! "

Not good, someone's coming!

Shen Tuo quickly smeared the blood all over his body onto the charm. He struggled to carry the big guy back to the table, not forgetting my safety. "Yan Nuo, hurry and hide under the bed!"

Under the bed, I watched as Shen Tuo arranged everything and finally hid under the big guy's table. The moment that Shen Tuo hid himself, a bunch of servants suddenly broke into the room and looked at the big guy on the table before heaving a sigh of relief.

However, the leader of the servants seemed to still be suspicious. Looking at the gently swaying tablecloth, he cautiously walked forward, as if he was trying to lift it up.

My heart is about to leap out of my throat. As I counted these servants, I thought that with so many people, Shen Ta and I definitely wouldn't be able to beat them. If I really can't do it, I'll just go out and attract their attention. This way, at least Shen Tuo will have the ability to save me.

If Shen Ta gets caught, I won't have the confidence to save him

After weighing the pros and cons, just as I was about to rush out, there was a sudden movement from outside the door, as though a brick had fallen to the ground. After hearing the sound, the leading servant didn't care about the tablecloth and led a few people to rush out.

I was secretly relieved.

It was only when there was no longer any movement outside that Shen Tuo and I came out of our hiding spots. It was a shock but it was not dangerous. Shen Tuo and I looked at each other and smiled.

Only then did I remember that the little guy who had been hiding in my pocket was about to take him out, but I couldn't find him no matter how hard I tried!

I pushed open the door and ran out. After looking around, I discovered that the wall before me was unexpectedly emitting an extremely faint and imperceptible light. The little fellow slowly emerged from the wall and returned to my hand.

I held on to the little guy and my heart finally settled down in my stomach.

So it was this little guy controlling the wall that made the noise, attracting that group of people. However, because the little guy could hide inside the wall, it was not discovered.

I held the little fellow as I proudly glanced at Shen Ta, proudly saying, "Look, at that time, who was it that insisted on killing me!"

On the other hand, Shen Tuo's face was solemn. He looked like a child who had realized his mistake. He unwillingly said to the little fellow, "I'm sorry."

After saying that, Shen Tuo seemed to feel embarrassed. He subconsciously reached into his pocket and took out a cigarette. I glanced at him, and he put the cigarette he had been holding between two fingers back into the case.

Then we continued to search the rooms one by one.

Until we turned a corner, the door of the room was obviously different from the room next to it. If the rooms we had just come into were called rooms, then the door of this room was called a palace.

This door is carved with dragons and phoenixes, the bottom color is a magnificent red, not the dark reddish brown that we met before. Shen Ta and I looked at each other, knowing that the person living in this house is definitely not an ordinary person, so we naturally cannot let this little fellow take the risk to enter alone.

The first thing that came into my sight was the splendour of the decorations, so that it didn't look like a ghost's place at all, but rather like an ancient queen's bedchamber, complete with ornaments, golden silk draperies, and blue and white porcelain bottles.

Shen Tuo promptly covered my mouth, as if he was extremely dissatisfied with me temporarily dropping the chain. Afterwards, he stretched out a finger, following the direction of his finger, and only then did I see that, in the midst of all this brilliance, a lady was sitting on the dresser not too far away from me.

She was facing away from us, and the dressing mirror was so small that I couldn't see her reflection in it, but just by looking at her back, I could see that she was a woman of peerless beauty.

She was dressed in an exquisite red dress, but it wasn't a modern style. She looked like the wife of a large family from the Republic of China, with a few pieces of jewelry on her carefully groomed hair. She looked gorgeous, but was not vulgar, and from her current posture, she looked like she was drawing her eyebrows.

Just as we were looking at her in a daze, we didn't expect her to turn her face to us. Her bright red lips slightly curled up towards us. Her voice was so soft that it didn't sound like a ghost at all.

She said, "Come in and talk about something."
