Yu Xing searched the room again and hid some practical little things in his trousers pockets.

Other than that, he didn't find anything else wrong.

In other words, there were only two ghostly things in the whole room, a painting and a doll, which were not enough to make the cold air surge up in his body. They were neither the source of the curse nor the sacrifice...

At most, it is a gadget released by the source of the curse in advance to interfere with the deducers.

And one of them is not very well-behaved.

After Yu Xing finished cleaning up, he looked back and saw, oh, the doll was turning its head, and it didn't know when it turned around and crawled a few minutes towards him.

Looking at the little hand that it raised before putting it down, Yu Xing guessed that as long as he didn't look, the doll would be able to move. If his eyes fell on the doll, the doll wouldn't be able to move.

A bit like a one-two-three wooden man.

If you are caught by a doll without knowing it, you may be in trouble.

Yu Xing frowned, picked up the doll from the ground, and stared at it for a few seconds.

"Didn't I tell you that you two should play alone?"

He turned the doll's face towards the painting: "Look, after all we are traveling together with you, why don't we exchange feelings? Come on, be good."

doll:……

The next moment, there was a "pop" sound and the doll's head was gone.

Yu Xing grabbed the doll's body with one hand and pinched the forcibly pulled out doll's head with the other, successfully dividing the doll into two parts.

Then he locked his body into the bottom drawer of the bedside table, and placed his head opposite the painting, looking at each other with the woman in the painting.

He nodded with satisfaction: "Well, that's good."

After completing this inhuman act, Yu Xing held the silver-encrusted cane and closed the door again and went downstairs.

——There is actually no need to bring a cane, but he always feels that walking like this can save some energy.

Downstairs, York is playing chess with Eli, Susan is watching, Martha is not there, she probably went back to her room.

Yu Xing walked down to the first floor without hesitation and became a member of the onlookers.

The fire was very hot, and the table was close to the fireplace. Soon, a thin layer of sweat broke out on Yu Xing's head.

He saw that York's face was flushed with heat, but Ally didn't look hot at all. Apart from showing a little irritation because his skills were inferior to others, he seemed to have no sweat glands.

After watching for a while, Yu Xing couldn't stand it anymore and found a cool place away from the fireplace to stay.

After that, Mrs. Brown prepared dinner and went up to the second floor. When they came down, they all sat around the dining table. Martha also walked out of the room, and Aiai sat between Yu Xing and York.

Her expression was not good, and Yu Xing guessed that she saw something in the room.

It's probably similar to the situation in his room.

Facing a table of food, Martha asked in a low voice: "Can you eat it?"

Yu Xing: "I think so."

Martha shakily forked a small piece of steak. Seeing that Mrs. Brown, Alex and Susan didn't pay attention to her, she asked again: "What if it was done by a ghost?"

Yu Xing smiled: "That should be it."

Martha:!? Then you are so calm!

She turned her head to touch York again: "Do you want to eat?"

As a result, Yorkie was already chewing something in his mouth.

He swallowed slowly and gave Martha the answer with his eyes.

Martha wanted to kneel down to the two of them.

She is actually the kind of player who is timid in going with the wind and against the wind. With her big legs, she can have the confidence to commit suicide by relying on her reasonably good abilities, but she will be timid if she really encounters a ghost.

She has not scheduled many rehearsals, and now she is also in the main mission stage. Every time she and her teammates hesitate for a long time on whether to eat something that may be made by ghosts, sometimes they simply go hungry, and they are not too hungry for a day or two.

Big relationship.

However, the new teammates seem to be very skilled!

York glanced at her and then at Yu Xing, finding the contrast between the two interesting.

Martha seemed like a newcomer, but Yu Xing... This level of calmness reminded him of the first time he met someone, when a female ghost in red was wandering around in the old site of the Republic of China. That person also looked stable.

This game is a bit special for York because the system prompts are different from usual.

Forget it, it’s better to think about this than the present moment.

He said to Martha who was reluctant to use the knife and fork: "If you don't eat this meal, you won't eat the next one? If we stay for more than one day, won't you starve to death?"

Then he patted her head: "Eat."

In Mrs. Brown's eyes, this scene is a manifestation of the friendship between brother and sister.

She looked at Ally, who was frowning while eating, and Susan, who was putting the music box on her lap, and sighed quietly.

…

Yu Xing originally thought that she would see Angel and Mr. Brown during dinner time, but neither of them came.

After dinner, he couldn't help but ask Mrs. Brown: "Where's Mr. Brown? I didn't see him at dinner. Is he okay?"

"My husband is prone to coughing. There are three of you guests today. He said he didn't want to come down and bother you with your meal, so he ate in the room." Mrs. Brown couldn't fault her explanation. Seeing Yu Xing's doubts, she took the initiative to say

, "I have already served him food before."

Yu Xing nodded understandingly: "I see. By the way, madam, do you only have two children in your family?"

Martha, who had not yet returned to her room, pricked up her ears.

Mrs. Brown almost dropped a plate in her hand, but York, who had been paying attention to her movements, caught it steadily.

York took the opportunity to ask: "Madam, what's wrong with you? Is there anything wrong with this question?"

Mrs. Brown smiled and took the plate handed over by York: "I also have a daughter, her name is Angel, and she is not at home recently."

not at home?

Yu Xing glanced towards the stairs calmly.

When he was not at home, why did the fake "Susan" specifically remind him to be quiet and not to disturb Angel?

Judging from the situation, Mrs. Brown obviously knows some inside information.

Suddenly some fragmented things connected in Yu Xing's mind - he saw Alex who was about to go back to the room, and deliberately raised his voice: "Is Miss Angel old enough to go out alone? Then Miss Angel

Who is older with Airi? Is it Airi’s sister?”

"Angel..." Mrs. Brown's tone was a little hesitant, but Yu Xing's voice worked.

Ai Li stopped and turned around. His usually serious expression softened a little, and there was a hint of softness in his amber eyes: "It's my sister. She has been away for more than a month. I miss her very much."

After saying that, Airy, who was not good at expressing friendly emotions, quickly walked into the house and closed the door.

Yu Xing glanced at Susan behind the sofa at the right time. Susan was holding the music box and was about to turn the clockwork. Her expression showed no sign of like or dislike.

A few seconds later, a burst of music floated out from the music box and filled the hall.

Mrs. Brown seemed to frown slightly, then relaxed, smiled, stepped forward and touched Susan's head: "That sounds great, baby, go to the room to play."

"Yeah." Susan didn't avoid Mrs. Brown's hand, but she didn't look very happy either. She held the music box and ran back to the room in a few steps.

Yu Xing got the information he wanted and curled his lips.

Combining all information channels, he has already made a guess about the situation of this family.

In addition, he also had an idea - the five people in this family, including Angel, who was said to be "not at home", should not all be ghosts.

There must be living people mixed in there.

Mrs. Brown went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, and the people in the hall... or ghosts were almost gone.

Martha: "Brother Roy, brother York, you guys, do you want to come to my room to play?"

At this time, there is still a while before bedtime, and it is a period of free activity. It is a good time to communicate and discover.

Just as Yu Xing was about to agree, he received a deduction prompt.

[This is your first day at Brown's house. You are very tired from the long journey. Moreover, the investigation is progressing slowly. You all know that the most important thing is to explore the source of the singing and screaming at night, so prepare to go to bed early. ]

[Please go back to your room separately. If you must exchange information, 60 stamina points will be deducted. 】

This means that Yu Xing is not allowed to speak.

"..." Yu Xing didn't know whether the system saw that he had found some key points, or whether it was because he had not arrived at night and the three characters did not want to communicate. It would be a big loss if the 60 stamina was really deducted.

He fell asleep on the ground... His current physical strength is only 60.

The physical strength value is cleared and forced to sleep.

Forget it, he should go back to his room.

Sure enough, York also said: "No, I'm a little tired after a day of hard work. Let's get some sleep first. After all, we still have to cheer up at night."

Isn't their mission just to exorcise demons?
