"After you get the phoenix crown, you have to do a separate task. Tonight you need to kneel in the lobby alone to keep vigil for the deceased here and tell them that you are going to take the phoenix crown away. You are the new owner of the phoenix crown. During this period, You must close your eyes and sincerely pray for the souls of the dead. No matter what happens, you cannot open your eyes, resist, or disturb the souls of the dead. Only when the first light from the horizon lights up can you stand up and leave here."
Jiang Liang stared at Lou Jinhuan's face closely, trying to see the fearful expression on her face, but Lou Jinhuan's expression remained unchanged, as if he hadn't heard anything.
He looked away in disappointment, stuffed the paper back into his sleeves, and said with a fake smile: "If you want to take away such a precious phoenix crown, you have to pay the price. As long as you complete this task, the phoenix crown will be yours. How about it?" ?”
"Not so good." Lou Jinhuan spread his hands, "Am I the only one the whole time?"
"You can also find someone to accompany you, if he is willing."
Jiang Liang glanced at the people around him.
Lou Jinhuan also looked over.
Qi Xuelu lowered his head and didn't look at her. Zheng Siqiao pursed her lips and looked away, "I...I'm scared."
Nan Jiahao, who usually shouted "Huanhuan" affectionately, had a complicated expression on his face, and lowered his head after hesitating for a while.
[Oh, man, you usually talk nice, but at critical moments, you can run faster than anyone else]
[If a man is reliable, a sow can climb a tree! How could a coward like Nan Jiahao have the nerve to chase after Lou Lou? 】
[Don’t beat him to death with one shot. There are reliable men too. Nan Jiahao is no longer considered a man. At most he is a scumbag. He is less courageous than women, but he is quite lustful. Sisters, please keep your eyes peeled. It's useless to talk nice. Take them to a haunted house and see how they react when they encounter danger. You can't deceive people by subconscious reactions! 】
【Yes! This kind of man is the most unreliable! 】
In the barrage, there was a quarrel over Nan Jiahao's reaction, but in reality there was dead silence.
Lou Jinhuan finally looked at Du Lin. Du Lin leaned forward slightly, as if preparing to stand up, "I can come with you."
Lou Jinhuan's eyes widened in surprise, "Are you sure?"
Du Lin smoothed his long hair and revealed his sharp eyebrows, "You are a girl doing tasks here by yourself. It is too scary not to mention whether it is safe or not. It will be better if I accompany you."
These words instantly killed Nan Jiahao. The barrage rolled faster, and it was almost impossible to see the face clearly. They all spurned Nan Jiahao, a coward.
Nan Jiahao was so embarrassed that his face turned red.
All the girls present gave Du Lin a high look.
However, Lou Jinhuan shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but no need. I can just do the task by myself. There is no need to drag you into trouble."
Du Lin said disapprovingly: "But can you really do it alone?"
His eyes were full of meaning, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you."
Lou Jinhuan said firmly: "I can really do it alone."
Du Lin frowned and looked at her in confusion. Lou Jinhuan looked away and said, "I'm also curious about what will happen at night."
"Are you sure?" Jiang Liang asked.
"Sure."
"Okay, I will call you when the time comes tonight, and I will ask someone to prepare the things you need for the evening. Now you can go back to your room to rest or have lunch."
After a whole morning of commotion, no one had any appetite. After saying a few words, everyone prepared to go upstairs to their rooms.
Zheng Siqiao was walking in front, but as soon as he turned a corner, he saw a pair of shoes on top.
Her heart tightened and she screamed.
The people behind heard the noise and came over quickly, "What's going on? What's going on?"
Zheng Siqiao staggered back and almost fell down the stairs. Fortunately, Du Lin from behind gave her a lift. Zheng Siqiao grabbed his arm tightly, "Up...there's someone up there!"
"Ah?" Qi Xuelu immediately took Nan Jiahao's arm.
Nan Jiahao was close to the handrail of the stairs, and Lou Jinhuan passed by him without even looking at him.
She looked up and said, "Zhou Yecheng, what are you doing standing here?"
"Zhou Yecheng?!" Zheng Siqiao took a closer look and saw that most of the man's body was in shadow. Only after he got used to the light could he see clearly that it was indeed Zhou Yecheng.
"Are you sick?!" Zheng Siqiao shouted at Zhou Yecheng, "Why are you pretending to be a doorkeeper here? Do you know that scaring people can scare them to death?"
Zhou Yecheng came back to his senses and smiled, "I'm sorry, I heard some movement downstairs and wanted to come over and take a look. I didn't want to scare you."
Lou Jinhuan frowned, "Then why don't you just go down? How long have you been standing here?"
"It didn't take long, I just came." Zhou Yecheng stared into her eyes closely as he spoke.
The scent of roses drifted to her nose, and Huo Wushang whispered in her ear: "Fake it, he has been standing here since you came back."
So why did he lie?
Lou Jinhuan looked at Zhou Yecheng carefully and said, "Don't be so scary next time. Give way, we have to go upstairs."
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." Zhou Yecheng's attitude seemed to be quite good, and Zheng Siqiao pursed his lips to hold back his anger.
The few people behind murmured a few words and went back to their respective rooms. Qi Xuelu stood at Nan Jiahao's door and said something, and then they entered the same room.
Lou Jinhuan didn't take it seriously and was about to open the door when he noticed someone approaching. He turned around and saw Du Lin.
Huo Wushang curled his lips coldly, "He is really interested in you."
"Do you have something to tell me?" Lou Jinhuan turned around and leaned against the door to look at him, with no intention of inviting him into the house. Huo Wushang's face looked better, and he grabbed Lou Jinhuan's fingers and squeezed them.
"Well." Du Lin looked around and lowered his voice and said, "Why don't you agree to stay vigil with me? It's too dangerous for you to be alone."
"They are bolder only if I am alone, so I can lure the snake out of its hole." Lou Jinhuan pointedly said: "Are you a Taoist priest? Do you have your own mission here?"
"Did you see it?" Du Lin was surprised, and then laughed, "Yes, I am a Taoist priest, but I am not good at academics. Master thought I was an eyesore, so he kicked me out and asked me to walk around more."
As he spoke, he took out a copper coin from his trouser pocket and handed it to Lou Jinhuan.
"This copper coin was left to me by my master. It can ward off evil spirits and defend myself. If you take it with you at night, it might be useful."
"Give it to me? What will you do?" Lou Jinhuan confiscated it.
Dulin smiled and said, "I still have it."
As he spoke, he took out three coins from each of his two pockets, and pulled out a rope from his collar with a row of strings on it.
Lou Jinhuan: "..."
I thought he was a smart, cool and handsome guy, but I didn't expect him to be a slow-tempered and naive guy.
It wasn't over yet. He raised his legs and rolled up his trouser legs. There were still copper coins hanging on a red rope around his ankles.
Lou Jinhuan: "...You are quite defensive."
