“9:30 p.m.,” Li Xuan replied, “Don’t tell me that it still depends on the time? If we can’t find a way to restrain the ‘cat’ before midnight, won’t we all be wiped Bai Lin answered, “More or less, so let’s hurry up. I have a feeling that the time here is different from our time.”

With Bai Lin leading the way, Li Xuan and Ye Xing also started running.

The houses in the village were sparsely distributed. Bai Lin followed the map and arrived at the location where the host husband and wife were investigating.

Wang Can was a brave man, but he could not stand the sight of the lifelike corpse.

The two of them had only investigated one room before looking for Yan Ruo, who was the closest to them. That was why when Bai Lin and the others called out their names in this area, they did not get a response.

“Are they done with their investigation?” Ye Xing asked, “Then let’s meet up with them as soon as possible.”

“There are no footprints on the floor of these houses. They were probably scared away.” Bai Lin came to a decent-looking house and squinted her eyes to take a look.

This house was different from the ones she had seen before. The walls were intact, painted white, and the exterior was covered with white tiles.

There was a door in the middle, and there were symmetrical windows on both sides of the door. Bai Lin used her flashlight to look around. The window glass was intact. It could even be said to be brand new. The glass refracted light, so she could not see what was inside.

Bai Lin walked closer and found a lock hanging on the door. The lock was an ancient type with rust on it, but the lock hole was quite new, as if it was used often.

Bai Lin tried to yank it, but it seemed like she could not pull it apart.

Finding the key was a classic game plot.

Ye Xing and Li Xuan also came over to take a look. Li Xuan picked a big hammer, and his eyes lit up when he saw the lock. He felt that he had found a use for it. “Xiao Lin, move aside. Watch me smash this lock off.” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Don’t open it,” Bai Lin said, “None of the houses is locked except this one. Can you guess why?”

Li Xuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his brain unable to think. He trembled as he said, “It should be an important prop, right?”

Bai Lin slowed down her voice and turned off the flashlight. She slowly moved back and stared at the glass without blinking. “Shush, step back.”

Li Xuan and Ye Xing held hands. Both of them were affected by Bai Lin’s nervousness, and their hearts beat faster. They also looked in the direction where Bai Lin was looking, but there was nothing there.

“Bai Lin… What are you looking at?” Ye Xing could not help asking.

Bai Lin suddenly stopped and turned on her flashlight to shine at herself from below. She suddenly turned her head and showed a dark smile, shouting, “I’m looking at a ghost!”

“Ahhhhh!” Ye Xing screamed.

“Ah!” Li Xuan exclaimed.

Ye Xing quickly retreated and fell on the ground, almost causing Li Xuan to fall.

Bai Lin’s attempt to scare them was successful. She smiled slyly and walked over to pull Ye Xing up. “You’re so timid. I’m helping you guys to desensitize so that you won’t be afraid anymore if you encounter such monsters in the future.”

Ye Xing was so scared that tears came out of her eyes. She looked at Bai Lin’s smiling face and felt traumatized. She sobbed, “Then I really have to thank you.”

[Lin-jie, please don’t scare me. The props that the production team has set up are already scary enough, and you still came to scare me. Can I still stay alive?] [Sob, sob, sob. I don’t dare to sleep tonight.]

[Friends, there was indeed something in the glass just now. Bai Lin should have seen it too.]

[What was it?]

[I didn’t see it clearly. It’s a dark shadow. It’s so scary. I don’t dare to continue watching.]

[It’s okay. How can a monster be scarier than my Lin-jie?]

[Bai Lin is what I’m scared of!] I almost thought I had a heart attack!]

“This building looks like an urn.” Bai Lin touched her chin and drew in the air with her fingers. “That cat’s probably locked inside. Someone, oh, or something, comes to open the door for it every day.

“Every family probably prepares food for it on time. If it doesn’t eat, it’ll stuff the person into the stove and kill them.”

Li Xuan frowned and asked in confusion, “But those who didn’t use fire to cook have signs of using their bowls and chopsticks.. How do you explain this?”
