I Wasn’t Born Lucky - Chapter 248

In the end, Xiao Li failed to join the conversation between Sun Qilin and Tang Huaqing. After he came, both sides only had some polite words.

for example:

Sun Qilin: “I don’t know when the rain will stop.”

Tang Huaqing: “You should be worried about whether it will stop.”

Sun Qilin: “Mr. Tang joked, it is inevitable to stop, the difference is only in the world after the rain.”

“…”

Xiao Li looked left and right, suddenly feeling boring, after listening to them being polite to each other for a while, he planned to leave.

Fortunately, before he brought it forward, Tang Huaqing had given up the purpose of coming to find Sun Qilin this time, took the initiative to leave, and declined Sun Qilin’s delivery.

Only Sun Qilin and Xiao Li were left in this pavilion. He turned around and looked at Xiao Li carefully, and said politely: “Go, I’ll take you back, Wang Huai and the others should be back. ”

Xiao Li: “No need to send it, I remember the way back.”

Sun Qilin was choked for a second, and the opponent was simply the dead end of the subject. Before he could think of anything, he heard Xiao Li ask again: “Tang Huaqing wants you to join the court?”

Sun Qilin: “…”

Even if you guess it, don’t ask so honestly.

He hesitated for a moment, and still honestly said: “Yes, I refused. I don’t want to participate in the game between gods. As far as I know, Pluto is not good to his followers. It is quite possible to turn his face after success. ”

“But his goal is not me, and my grandfather, the current Patriarch of the Sun family, I am just a junior. They need the help of his grandfather to find something, and hope that he can bring the Sun family to join them, and the rest of me I don’t know.”

Sun Qilin didn’t seem to like the court, and he did nothing to explain to Xiao Li.

Seemingly catching a glimpse of Xiao Li’s eyes, Sun Qilin shrugged nonchalantly: “Anyway, even if you don’t ask, Wang Huai will come and ask me. Rather than being annoyed by him for a long time, I might as well tell you now.”

Xiao Li didn’t look at him. He looked at the lotus leaves in the pond in front of him. There was too much rain on the verdant green leaves. Then he suddenly asked, “What happened to your house?”

Sun Qilin narrowed his smile: “I am not very clear, but I can only say that it scares me, and it is not inferior to any copy world.”

Xiao Li could see clearly, and when the other party said this, he shuddered.

***

When Xiao Li went back, everyone else had already returned. They chose the largest guest room. Wang Huai was sitting on the hammock, while the others stood or sat around the table.

He swept around, but didn’t find Shen Mirage.

Xiao Li walked to the hammock and motioned Wang Huai to move his seat aside with his eyes. Old Wang raised his head innocently and took a look, but he still moved a corner for him.

“What did you do?”

Xiao Li tried to summarize: “Excuse Sun Qilin and Tang Huaqing for a tryst.”

Wang Huai: “…”

Wang Huai: “…what? They? Are you serious?”

Xiao Li: “The two of them are alone, and they separate even when they see me. There is still some inexplicable embarrassment between the words.”

As he spoke, he relayed what had just happened.

“…Damn, let me just say, your title is too outrageous, you deserve to be the spreader of the rumors of deceiving and secretly loving the goddess of beauty.” After listening to Wang Huai, he was finally able to remove the shocked expression from his cheeks. , But the dignified color still stayed in his eyes. He simply said, “The court is a guest of Sun Yaoming, the head of the Sun family, and it pays more attention to it than us.”

Gong Mingming continued: “The simplest evidence is—”

She was originally leaning against the window with a bottle of beer in her hand. Now she turned her head and pushed open the window. The wind and raindrops rushed into the room immediately, but Gong Mingming didn’t realize it, facing the outer courtyard to continue. Said: “They have a dinner party to welcome them in the evening, and we are left here.”

Looking out from the window here, through the heavy rain curtains, you can vaguely see the lights on the tall buildings in the distance and the figures of people walking back and forth.

Luo Shan said: “If the Sun family really fell to the court, it would be absolutely bad news for us, but we are still there, so at least the situation is not completely clear.”

Gong Mingming’s cell phone shook at this moment, she answered a call and went outside.

Xiao Li stretched his legs, supported on the ground with toes, and swayed the hammock back and forth like a swing.

Wang Huai got up from the hammock in time and said to him: “The totem you made me pay attention to some time ago. Since the release of the final mission, I have also noticed several similar patterns, which were solved by us, and there were too late to solve them. It was taken away directly by the referee.”

“The effect of this totem is mostly to promote the transformation of ghosts into ghosts. At the peak of the transformation, energy will be drawn from the ghosts. One case happened to be monitored and photographed by a reincarnation in the courthouse coming out of it.”

“They now believe in the gods of underworld and death, with the goal of bringing their brilliance into reality, and welcoming their Lord on the day when the well falls–”

Wang Huai was halfway through when he was suddenly interrupted by Gong Mingming’s hastily rushing in.

Gong Mingming held the phone in his hand: “Did you hear any sound?”

“Crying?”

The room suddenly became quiet, everyone almost held their breath, but still did not distinguish the so-called cry from the sound of rain.

Ye Zeqing and Luo Shan both shook their heads.

Gong Mingming pointed to his mobile phone and said: “I answered a call just now. It was my friend who was talking about what happened on their side. I asked the person who took the reincarnation to help me, but she suddenly said that I was crying. ”

Xiao Li took out his cell phone and broadcast a call to Ye Zeqing.

Ye Zeqing connected.

Xiao Li turned on the phone and put it on his lap.

Gong Mingming closed the windows and doors to isolate the rain from outside.

At first, everyone heard nothing. After listening carefully for about a minute, Xiao Li could barely distinguish a trace of crying from the noise of the phone.

The voice was very different from the crying woman.

If the crying sister is the kind of crying that seems vague and resentful, then this sound is like a baby’s scream, not crying or laughing, with a kind of innocent viciousness, even vaguely, it is more like crying than crying laugh.

Xiao Li turned off the phone, but the voice was buried by the heavy rain in reality, and he couldn’t hear anything clearly.

“Is it the cry of a baby?” Wang Huai quickly speculated, “Yingling?”

Ye Zeqing denied this speculation: “It definitely won’t be Yingling. With the strength of the Sun family, it won’t be so embarrassed by Yingling, but–”

He suddenly stopped talking, turned his head and looked at the door of the room, assuming a defensive posture, as if some ghost was approaching outside the door.

With his demonstration, the others straightened up, waiting for the arrival of things outside the door.

“—Knock, knock, knock.”

A rhythmic knock on the door sounded from outside.

At first, the reincarnations did not answer, they exchanged a look, and Luo Shan clenched the prop compass in his hand.

So the knock on the door rang three times again: “Knock, knock, knock.”

Gong Mingming was the closest to the door. She leaned down and asked outside the door: “Who?”

“It’s me, butler,” the man at the door made a flat voice, “Guests, the lord is hosting guests today, please come with me.”

Hearing this familiar voice, Gong Mingming remained vigilant, and she opened the door in a position that she could jump away at any time.

Standing at the door was the housekeeper who opened the door to Xiao Li before.

The road belonging to the guest room is very dark, there is no lighting equipment such as incandescent lamps, and the road is slippery in the open, ordinary people will carry a flashlight and the like, but the housekeeper is empty in his hands, there is neither a flashlight nor a flashlight. Lantern, he said with a wooden face: “Guest, please come with me.”

Xiao Li looked at the housekeeper twice. He always felt that the other person was different from what he saw when he first came in, but he couldn’t tell the difference.

His changes should be very small, so small that only his intuition can prompt, but no specific changes can be found for a while.

Gong Mingming fiddled with his long hair: “Why did the grandfather of the Sun family suddenly invite us? Isn’t today the day when they talked to Mr. Tang?”

“Master’s business is not something we are qualified to comment on,” the butler lowered his head and repeated this sentence for the third time, “Please follow me.”

“You wait a moment.” Gong Mingming looked back and exchanged glances with everyone in the room, and then opened the door cleanly, “Trouble lead the way.”

The steward walked in the forefront, but the reincarnations behind him had to use lighting tools. Except for the flashlights of Gong Mingming and others, the small light bulb jumped out very consciously and floated in the air half a meter in front of Xiao Li. Illuminate the way forward.

The heavy rain made the corridor very slippery. Even with the lighting, Xiao Li almost fell several times, but Wang Huai, who was standing next to him, helped him a few times to avoid repeating the mistakes of his legs and start a split on the spot.

But the reincarnations with lights walked so hard, but the old housekeeper in front of them moved forward very smoothly in the dark.

Ye Zeqing couldn’t help but asked, “Mr. Butler, it’s so dark here, don’t you need lights?”

The old butler said without looking back, “No, I can see it.”

Ye Zeqing looked at the pitch black front, and repeated mockingly: “You can see it?”

The old housekeeper kept walking and nodded up and down.

His nodding posture is also very strange. From behind, when a normal person nods, he will lean forward, but he is a smooth face, without the slightest arc.

Ye Zeqing still wanted to say something, but Xiao Li held his shoulder and shut his mouth.

He lowered his voice, turned his head and came to Xiao Li’s side, and said softly: “Before he came in and knocked on the door, what I sensed was a faint ghost approaching. This was a phenomenon I had never encountered before. ”

“I think… he is demonizing.”

Xiao Li listened in silence. When passing a puddle, he pointed to the old housekeeper’s leg: “Did you see it?”

Ye Zeqing’s pupils shrank and nodded.

They just saw it really, that the old housekeeper’s feet were broken at the edge of the light bulb.

Maybe it shouldn’t be said to be a crippled foot, because his entire instep was crippled, and his bones were broken when he changed to an ordinary person. However, he continued walking nonchalantly until he returned to the flat ground and his feet returned to their original state. Does not affect his walking.

This is why he walks flat on the ground.

This time Xiao Li’s eyes focused on the opponent’s feet, and he finally felt something wrong with him——

The steward’s feet have become smaller.

To use a popular analogy, his feet have changed from size 41 to size 37, but his shoes have not been changed, so it is difficult to find.

It is also because the housekeeper’s shoes are too big that they always get awkward when walking.
