Chapter 814: A Family of Three

~9 min read 1,690 words

Li Yi's idea of pretending to be a dead person was somewhat wonderful, but it might not be impossible to succeed. After all, facing these ghost things, he had to use the experience he had when he was a messenger, and couldn't rely on his strength blindly.

The dead evolvers had already proved to him that simple strength didn't work in this house.

Thinking of this, he immediately did so.

He chose a paper garment and put it on.

The paper garment was nothing special, just a normal item. Li Yi didn't feel any strange power on it, and nothing strange happened.

Li Yi sat on the sofa wearing the paper garment, waiting quietly for the passage of time.

In the silent room, the corpses all over the floor were motionless, still lying horizontally and vertically, their hollow eye sockets looking at the ceiling, seemingly telling their unwillingness before death, and the stiff faces still revealed a trace of fear.

It's just a pity that Li Yi was not afraid of corpses, nor was he afraid of ghosts. He was a martial artist who practiced boxing. He didn't know how many strong enemies he had killed along the way. Corpses were just things to scare ordinary people.

However, these corpses were all unlucky people from Earth. In the end, he kindly collected these corpses into the storage ring he picked up. When he had a chance to leave here, he would find a place to bury these corpses.

Although they died in a strange world, it could be considered as being buried in the earth.

After the corpses were dealt with, the room had a few less strange atmospheres. However, as the dusk dissipated and the night descended, the lights in the house seemed to be dimmer than usual, only illuminating the position of the dining table, and other places were in the dimness.

Li Yi, sitting on the sofa, wore paper clothes, motionless like a dead person, even without breathing, only a pair of eyes glowing in the dark, occasionally with silver electric light flashing in his eyes.

He was like a beast lurking, out of place with this ghost house.

Time came to eight o'clock.

The building was silent, only the sound of the second hand moving, and the sound of car horns in the distance outside the window.

When the time came to nine o'clock.

The building was still silent, everything was normal, and nothing happened.

Li Yi was still sitting on the sofa motionless. For people who practiced like him, sitting still for a long time was not a difficult thing. He had enough time and enough patience.

However, when the time came to ten o'clock.

Suddenly.

Li Yi's head turned slightly, and he listened to the direction of the corridor.

There was movement.

It was the sound of footsteps.

A slight sound of footsteps appeared in the corridor, as if someone had walked into this building. Wait, it wasn't just one sound of footsteps, there were two sounds of footsteps, no, there were three.

There were three sounds of footsteps in total.

It was just that one of the footsteps was lighter, not like an adult, but like a child.

"A family of three?" Li Yi immediately thought of the three bowls of rice during the day, which corresponded exactly to three people.

That is to say, three dead people lived in this house.

He continued to pretend to be motionless.

Waiting for the arrival of those three footsteps.

Soon.

The footsteps came from the first floor, to the second floor, then to the third floor, and finally slowed down when they arrived.

Li Yi's guess was correct. Those three dead people lived here. He could already accurately judge that the other party stopped in the corridor, and was only separated by a wall from himself.

The instinctive hostility made him clench his fists, and the condensation of physical strength made lightning jump around his body.

But realizing the unusualness of this place, he forcibly suppressed the killing intent in his heart and dissipated this power.

Immediately after, the sound of keys shaking came from the door.

The other party seemed to be looking for keys to open the door.

However, Li Yi looked outside through the small crack in the door, and the dim corridor was empty, and there was no family of three, no keys.

But it was at this moment.

The door lock turned, and then the door creaked and opened slowly.

But the invisible family of three didn't walk in, and everything fell into a short silence.

"What's going on?"

Li Yi frowned, somewhat not understanding this situation, but he smelled some bad taste. Was his pretending to be a dead person not good enough, and he was discovered?

However.

Soon.

A fierce quarrel suddenly came from the invisible family of three at the door.

This sound was very blurry, and couldn't be heard clearly at all. It seemed there was a barrier. Although the other party's voice was loud, he couldn't hear what the other party was saying, and while they were arguing, the child at the door cried again.

"Waah..." It was a little girl's crying, very shrill, echoing in the whole building, and even people outside could hear it.

"I was discovered."

At this moment, how could Li Yi not react? His method of wearing paper clothes to pretend to be a dead person failed. The three dead people living here discovered him and quarreled because of this.

And the sound of the quarrel grew louder and louder.

Li Yi's ears even had buzzing sounds, as if all the noise had pierced into his brain, making him feel a headache, annoyed, and angry. So noisy, why is there such a terrible family of three? Didn't I just sit on your sofa for a while? I even helped you wash the bowls, why don't you thank me?

And that little girl, crying, just knows how to cry. Cry your mother, believe it or not, I will blow you to death with one punch.

Hard, hard.

His fist hardened again, and the power that had subsided before condensed again at this moment.

He wanted to vent, wanted to erupt.

However, reason told Li Yi that he must suppress this restlessness. He must not be controlled, otherwise he would likely die in this building and be unable to walk out like other evolvers.

Patience, patience.

Li Yi even pinched the Dharma seal and cast the White Bone Observation.

But it was still useless.

The sound of quarreling, fighting, and crying echoed in his ears crazily. He felt that the whole person was about to explode.

"Must find a way as soon as possible, otherwise I won't be able to walk out of this building." Li Yi understood that the paper clothes were useless, and even caused the quarrel of the three dead people.

He immediately tore off the paper clothes on his body.

However, the moment the paper clothes were torn, the sound of quarreling and crying outside the door stopped abruptly.

All sounds disappeared in an instant, replaced by dead silence.

"Sure enough, my guess was correct. The choice of paper clothes was wrong. Not only did it not help me, but it would also have the opposite effect."

Li Yi felt that his brain was much easier, and his hardened fist slowly loosened again.

But the situation did not improve.

Without the disguise of paper clothes, it meant that Li Yi was now completely exposed in this ghost house as a living person.

Immediately after.

The sound of footsteps at the door sounded again.

A sound of footsteps rushed into the house quickly, and the other party didn't stop in the living room, but went straight to the kitchen. Li Yi's eyes still couldn't see anything, and he could only identify the existence of the other party through the position of the footsteps.

Soon.

The sound of metal collision came from the kitchen.

The other party seemed to have taken a knife in the kitchen.

But Li Yi remembered that there was no knife in the kitchen at all.

Subsequently, the rapid footsteps left the kitchen again. At this moment, it was straight towards Li Yi on the sofa.

"Is this going to cut me with a knife?" Li Yi understood.

Immediately after, he heard the sound of the kitchen knife whistling and echoing in mid-air.

A severe pain came from his shoulder, and then he looked at his shoulder somewhat surprised.

No wound.

But the pain was real.

Even, Li Yi found that his life was passing away, as if he had really been cut by the other party.

Thinking of the deaths of those evolvers before.

He understood a little.

Evolvers were not starved to death here, nor were they trapped to death here, but were alive and cut to death by the dead people in the ghost house. Although there were no wounds on their bodies, the damage was real.

Before Li Yi could continue to think more.

The sound of the kitchen knife whistling came again.

Li Yi identified the position by sound, and could easily avoid it, even if this attack couldn't be seen.

He swayed, moving to the vicinity of the dining table like a lightning bolt.

However, a heart-piercing pain came from his chest again.

"Can't avoid it?" Li Yi's face changed slightly.

The rapid footsteps approached him again, and at this moment, the sharp laughter of a child came from outside the door, and a stiff applause from a woman.

Since the attack was 100% hit, dodging was meaningless.

Li Yi gave up dodging, and he tried another item.

Paper umbrella.

If the paper clothes were to anger the three dead people, then what was this paper umbrella for?

He immediately opened the paper umbrella.

Subsequently, the sound of the kitchen knife hacking disappeared, and the sharp laughter outside the door also disappeared, and everything seemed to return to calm.

However, Li Yi's body subconsciously stiffened.

Because he felt that there was a person standing behind him. ===== CHAPTER 815 =====
