Chapter 31 The Villa on the Mountain (2)
At that time, the rest of the expedition team were devoured by the evil spirits, leaving only Liu Yuling and Su Mu.
The two mice were treated like toys by their mistress; letting them out was merely to tease them.
After learning about this, the old man risked attracting the Ghost King, annihilated all the ghosts in the villa, and saved the two people.
However, the Ghost King never appeared in the script.
Perhaps it's another story.
After Gu Shijiu and Shi Qi finished shopping, they turned around and went back to the villa.
The expedition team is having a meeting inside the villa.
"Won't Gu Shijiu and Shi Qi take this opportunity to run away?" Liu Yuling was very anxious.
“If they can escape and find someone to help them, that would be a good thing,” Su Mu said in a low voice. “The only problem is that the other party might not want to get involved and just leave.”
"Waaaah, don't kill me, stay away from me..." Zhang Yaoyao shrank her head.
Since Gu Shijiu left, she has encountered ghosts several times.
Either blood flows from the tap, or a ghostly face suddenly appears in the mirror.
Having been frightened like this several times, Zhang Yaoyao is now emotionally on the verge of a breakdown, and Li Qingshan looks at her with concern.
Su Mu pondered for a moment: "In any case, we must be prepared for the two of them not to return—"
Before he could finish speaking, he heard the sound of a door opening outside the villa.
Liu Yuling poked her head out: "Shi Qi, Gu Shijiu, you're back!"
She felt that she wasn't as excited as she was now when she saw her own father after she ran out of living expenses.
Su Mu looked at his girlfriend's excited face and didn't say anything more.
Zhang Yaoyao hugged Gu Shijiu while crying, "Waaah, I thought you weren't coming back."
Hearing the commotion, the woman came down from the third floor and saw the three people returning, each carrying several large bags. The smile on her face almost cracked.
"Excuse me, are you going to the market to buy supplies?" the woman asked Aunt Wang.
Aunt Wang knew she was incompetent, but she couldn't stop Gu Shijiu at all.
Not only were all their money stolen, but during the struggle, the other party also secretly plundered a large chunk of their energy.
By the time she realized what was happening, the energy had already turned into specks of light and entered Gu Shijiu's body.
The hostess noticed that Aunt Wang seemed a little weak, and then softened her expression, saying, "You've worked hard too, go and rest."
"Yes, Madam." Aunt Wang left the living room, supporting her back.
Chen Yao and his expedition team helped Shi Qi.
They then realized that the two had not only bought groceries, but also new pots and pans.
The woman returned to the third floor and looked down at the people bustling about in the living room, a sinister expression on her face.
The sound of a little girl crying came from the room, and after a moment the woman's soothing voice rang out: "Beibei, the food will be ready soon."
Shi Qi busied herself in the kitchen for a while, and actually made a rabbit-shaped cake, a panda-shaped seaweed rice roll, and some other beautifully presented dishes.
Gu Shijiu was a little envious, but unfortunately she couldn't eat any of it right now. Shi Qi promised to make it for her later.
As for the expedition team's meals, they prepared them themselves.
Although the taste was just average, after eating so many snacks, being able to eat a proper meal was the ultimate comfort for my stomach.
Zhang Yaoyao drank the real beef soup with tears welling up in her eyes.
I thought I wouldn't be able to eat meat because of what happened before, but I didn't expect that when I got hungry enough, all my psychological trauma disappeared.
Not long after, Beibei came down from the third floor.
She really liked the food Shi Qi had made: "It's much better than what Mom makes."
A hint of joy appeared on the girl's pale face, and she reached out her bony hand to grab it.
The woman stopped her: "Beibei, what your mother makes for you is what you need. Eating these will make you feel unwell."
Beibei started crying and screaming again: "It's so noisy! I don't want to eat those disgusting things! I want to eat rabbit cake!"
Gu Shijiu saw that Beibei was surrounded by many evil spirits, and could only vaguely make out their outlines.
She had never seen it before, but perhaps because her skills had improved in the past few days, and she was now very close to it.
These evil spirits roared and lunged at Beibei with bared teeth and claws, but they couldn't get close.
No wonder Beibei said it was noisy; how could it not be noisy?
Gu Shijiu even saw Cheng Qi and Ma Jiahua, and she quickly tugged at Shi Qi's sleeve.
“Beibei was surrounded by a lot of ghosts, and Cheng Qi and Ma Jiahua were among them.”
The sound was quite loud; at least everyone in the restaurant could hear it clearly.
The expedition team members' expressions changed drastically, and Liu Yuling and Zhang Yaoyao both shed tears.
I was wondering if Cheng Qi might still be alive since his body hadn't been found, but I never imagined he was already dead.
"You can see?" Shi Qi asked curiously, as he couldn't see anything.
"Hmm, these ghosts are different from the ones with physical forms we saw before."
Gu Shijiu tried to secretly extract some energy from a howling ghost, but ended up getting nothing.
"Cheng Qi, Ma Jiahua, can you hear me?" Liu Yuling shouted into the air.
Gu Shijiu kindly pointed out the correct location to her: "Here."
The expedition members said a lot, but Gu Shijiu shook her head at them: "There was no reaction."
Liu Yuling stared at the female homeowner, angry but unable to speak out.
The woman just lowered her head and comforted Beibei in her arms; the little girl had just vomited.
The rabbit cake was almost immediately spat out after being eaten.
The hostess did not cause trouble for Shi Qi, but gently wiped the little girl's mouth: "See, I told you you couldn't eat it."
However, Beibei seemed to disbelieve this superstition and insisted on eating it.
Instead of feeling guilty, Shi Qi went further: "Beibei, I'll make these for you again tomorrow. Can I go to the third floor to take a look?"
"Okay," the girl nodded in agreement.
The woman's expression changed abruptly, but returned to normal a second later.
After the meal, Gu Shijiu and Shi Qi went up to the third floor.
Beibei was still sitting in the restaurant struggling with the food, while the hostess stayed with her the whole time.
"Ah Jiu, who do you think the Ghost King is?" Shi Qi asked Gu Shi Jiu while searching through the room.
Gu Shijiu said with a self-righteous expression, "How could I have come up with that?"
Uh... Shi Qi choked, but he was used to it and didn't even change his tone: "Madam, Aunt Wang, the male kitchen servant and Bei Bei."
The four ghosts in the villa are the most suspicious right now; the others are probably being controlled.
Ah Jiu, among these people, who is the strongest?
Gu Shijiu thought carefully: "It seems to be Madam?"
Shi Qi mentally marked his wife's name with an important symbol, but if she really was the Ghost King, perhaps he could restrain his energy.
"Shi Qi, here are a few books." Gu Shijiu was ignorant and lazy, so he tossed the books to Shi Qi.
"Dracula II", "Interview with the Vampire", "The Complete Book of Zombies", "Maoshan Taoist Arts", "Tales of the Strange and Unusual"...
They're all about mysterious monsters.
How come there are both vampires and zombies? This monster is even a fusion of East and West.
Shi Qi wondered to herself if the zombie body Gu Shijiu was currently using might be related to these books.
Hearing that there were zombies in it, Gu Shijiu became very interested and immediately started reading.
