Xu Zhixi was puzzled and frowned slightly, "No, what's wrong with me?"
Wang Li snorted coldly: "Last night, you and Li Gui were secretly married. Nothing happened, right? But you came back safe and sound, while Wu Biao was killed by a ghost under my nose.
So, I'm very curious about what happened to you last night? "
Xu Zhixi opened her lips, but her eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of Gu Zi behind Wang Li, who shook his head at herself calmly.
He opened his lips again and silently said three words to himself——
"Do not say".
The tip of the knife was shining brightly, with a cold light.
Her eyes moved along the blade to the man's ferocious-looking face, and a pair of vicious eyes stared at her.
This person had been targeting her from the beginning, and even took the initiative to push her to become a ghost bride. If she hadn't been lucky, she would have been torn into pieces by the evil ghost.
Xu Zhixi calmed down and said, "I didn't experience anything last night. I fainted after being helped into the house. It was dawn when I woke up."
"You think I would believe it."
Xu Zhixi met him with firm eyes, "But that's the fact. Look, I'm intact. If I really encountered a ghost, how could I escape unscathed?"
Wang Li frowned and thought for a moment, then looked around from bottom to top, finally landing on the girl's pale and beautiful face. "Indeed, yesterday's ghost was so powerful that you can't even escape."
Wang Li took back the knife, and Xu Zhixi's anxious heart relaxed a little.
She turned her head to look at Wu Biao's body, then back again, "Then can I know what happened here last night?"
Gu Zi spoke up: "Last night, Chen Zhe'an, Zhang Meng and I followed people from Xu's house to the house where the ghost wedding was held.
But as soon as we passed by, the people inside shouted that there was a ghost and tried their best to escape.
We hid in the dark until the lights in the house went out. "
Chen Zhegan nodded and said with a trembling voice: "Yes, we thought you... and that there was a ghost there, so we came back. But as soon as we got here, we found that Wu Biao had been killed."
Everyone's eyes turned to Wang Li, the only person present at the time. Wang Li frowned, "What do you mean?"
Xu Zhixi said: "You were the only one present at that time, so shouldn't you also say something?"
Wang Li narrowed his eyes and looked very dissatisfied, "I was sleeping last night and didn't know anything. When I woke up, I found that this loser was dead!"
Xu Zhixi scolded him, "But you just said that the ghost was very powerful, which means you know the strength of that ghost very well. Then you must have had a head-on confrontation with that ghost at that time. It is impossible not to know everything."
Hearing this, Wang Li's expression changed and he raised his sword again, "What do you mean? You mean I'm going to use him as a shield!"
Xu Zhixi took a few steps back, licked her dry lips, and said bravely: "I didn't say that. Originally I was just exposing you for lying, but you said it yourself about blocking the gun, and it doesn't look like it now. impossible.
After all, you just used me to block the gun! "
Seeing Wang Li's face as black as the bottom of a pot, looking at Xu Zhixi with eyes that wanted to eat flesh and blood, Gu Zi interrupted: "Now, we can't have internal strife. The most important thing is to find the mission target."
Wang Li calmed down his arrogance slightly and held the knife in front of his chest, "I don't care about a vase like you who dies quickly."
Xu Zhixi curled her lips and ignored him, secretly cursing, "You will definitely die faster than me!"
Gu Zi continued: "The newbie's clue is the 'silver hairpin', and last night, when I was checking Wu Biao's body, I found a silver hairpin stuck in his chest."
He took out something wrapped in a white veil, put it in his hand, and opened the veil, revealing a dark hairpin inside. The bottom of the hairpin was sharp and pointed, and there was blood on it.
Chen Zhe was overjoyed: "Could this be the 'silver hairpin' in the clue? Then can we kill the evil ghost if we get this hairpin?"
Gu Zi shook his head, "I'm not sure yet, but this should be an idea for solving the problem. However, there is something strange -"
Wang Li was a little impatient, "What is it? Hurry up and say it. Don't wait too long."
"The strange thing is, why did the ghost leave this silver hairpin here? If this is really a weapon that can kill Li Gui, then it is very unreasonable for Li Gui to put it here."
Zhang Meng said: "Maybe that fierce ghost is arrogant and thinks that we can't kill him even if we have the hairpin?"
Gu Zi still shook his head, "It shouldn't be possible."
Wang Li was a little impatient, "How is it impossible? Each of these dungeon bosses are weird and have a lot of bad intentions. Nothing is impossible."
A soft female voice interrupted them: "Perhaps this silver hairpin was not left by a ghost?
In the house, the murderers were not ghosts at all, but people. But he was afraid of Li Gui, so he left us this silver hairpin and asked us to get rid of Xu Xuan. "
Several people looked at Xu Zhixi with somewhat stunned expressions.
Wang Li retorted: "What nonsense are you talking about! How can humans make these people like this? It must be ghosts. I really don't know what you are thinking!"
Gu Zi remained silent.
Chen Zhe'an and Zhang Meng nodded in agreement with Wang Li's words.
"Okay, I don't have time to play this kind of reasoning game with you here. I'm going to get rid of that evil ghost now. Follow me!"
Wang Li snatched the handkerchief from Gu Zi's hand, opened the door and walked out. Chen Zhegan and Zhang Meng looked at each other and followed, but Gu Zi stood motionless with a calm expression.
When the voices of several people got further and further away, Gu Zi turned around and faced Xu Zhixi, his handsome face showing a gentle and soothing smile. The black eyes under the silver-rimmed glasses were bright and dim, but the smile still did not reach his eyes:
"I should have the right to know why my weapon appeared on a dead maid, right?"
Xu Zhixi took a long breath and said, "Of course, I have to thank you for saving my life.
The thing is like this -
Last night, before I was sent to the underworld for the wedding, I stayed in the room where I had dressed before. That was also the place where the previous bride died.
Xiaocui, the maid who took me to rest the day before yesterday, suddenly appeared with a dagger and wanted to kill me. She also mentioned that she also killed the bride because she liked Xu Xuan and hated us.
At that time, I had no other means of self-defense. In desperation, I had no choice but to pierce the needle you gave her into her chest, and then she fell to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, the system said that I successfully killed the first evil ghost.
Therefore, I guessed that the evil ghost in the mission did not refer to Xu Xuan. "
Gu Zi followed her words: "It's the other real murderers hidden deep in the house, right?"
Xu Zhixi nodded.
"My silver needle did pierce her body, so that eliminates the possibility that the maid is a ghost in disguise. In this case, the other evil ghosts may also be human beings. No wonder the task is not to eradicate the evil ghosts directly, but to first 'Eradicate the evil spirits'."
"Yes, and Xiao Cui should be related to the real murderer, because their methods of committing crimes are exactly the same."
Gu Zi nodded slowly and asked, "What happens after that? What happened during your dark marriage?"
"Oh me--"
Xu Zhixi was about to tell what happened with Xu Xuan, but her throat suddenly got stuck and she couldn't make a sound.
Xu Xuan's voice from last night came to my ears, "Madam, we can't tell others about our agreement. Be good, otherwise, I will kill you..."
At the same time, a strange tingling feeling filled the tip of my ears.
Gu Zi saw Xu Zhixi's strange expression and continued to ask, "What next?"
Xu Zhixi blinked her eyes and said hoarsely: "Then I saw a few clusters of will-o'-the-wisps, and I was frightened and fainted. When I woke up, I came back to find you."
"Is it really?"
"That's true. It's just that it's a bit embarrassing for me to be so scared that I fainted."
Xu Zhixi nodded with a soft smile. The two lying silkworms were like little crescent moons. They looked cute and didn't look like they were lying.
"It's normal. You are a newcomer after all." Gu Zi withdrew his doubts, paused, and then said: "Then we will follow your guess and go to the maid to look for clues first."
