Chapter 169

I found a person.

Li Suibian, who was treating his wounds, didn't forget to hand a photo to Tang Luo.

Temporarily ignoring the still-bound Kawakami Kouzi, An'an leaned over to look together, her tone somewhat doubtful: "Is this a group photo of a family of three who died?"

"Look at that child, don't you guys think he looks a bit familiar?" Li Suibian said.

"Like whom?" An'an stared for a moment, feeling it was indeed somewhat familiar, but couldn't recall where she had seen him for a while.

"Shitada Shunta?" Tang Luo looked toward Kawakami Kouzi.

"Exactly! It's Shitada Shunta!" Kawakami Kouzi shouted loudly, "He is the true owner of this house!"

An'an widened her eyes: "We've been tricked!" Why did they come to this house?

Was it because Shitada Shunta said Chu Zhongtian's original host came to this haunted house on a dare to seek thrills?

So everyone came to check it out, and after seeing it, they also found it was indeed a haunted house, with "special effects" added, making it look like a place where trespassers are not welcome, not a scam.

Based on Kayako's situation, everyone unanimously agreed that Chu Zhongtian must have been targeted by an evil ghost.

What to do if targeted by an evil ghost? Urgent!

No need to wait online, Tang Xuanzang, Tang Elder, Xuanzang Master gave the correct answer: We go ahead, kill the evil ghost, and then we can solve the worries from the root.

Everyone thought it made sense, so they came to this house, planning to solve the worries from the root.

Unexpectedly, the root wasn't in the house, but outside?

"No, it should be that person went fishing and caught a big shark." Li Suibian stood up and said, his injuries completely healed.

Luring people into the dangerous haunted house to kill them, the idea is correct.

But sometimes a correct idea doesn't mean it can be carried out.

Li Suibian glanced at Tang Luo, noticing the tear in his clothes had already healed, and felt deeply moved inside.

Big brother, at least give me some face and pretend to be injured a bit!

"Hehe." Kawakami Kouzi let out a mocking laugh, and when the other party tried to forcibly detain her, she completely became Shitada Shunta's enemy.

A scholar can be killed but not humiliated!

Dare to throw my "bare-faced photo" out, we cannot coexist under the same sky!

I, Kawakami Kouzi, will never be a slave, I will trample all men under my feet and become a proud queen.

"What are you laughing at?" Tang Luo swept his gaze over.

"Nothing, dear—master!" Kawakami Kouzi shuddered, changing her form of address.

An'an looked at Tang Luo in surprise, first not caring how this woman who had sunk into the sea had reappeared.

How long has it been? The master has already finished training her?

Shouldn't we praise him at this time, saying he truly lives up to being a master?

Can't afford to provoke, can't afford to provoke.

An'an silently stepped back.

"Where's Xiao Chu?" Li Suibian said, "I haven't seen him, won't something happen to him?"

"No, the consecration maintenance lasts three days." Tang Luo said, within three days, once the consecration is triggered, he will know.

Even if something happens, Chu Zhongtian won't have to worry about his life.

As for pain and hardship, Tang Luo won't go so far as to act like a "nanny" and remove all of these—although it consumes a large amount of merit power, it can also be done.

"Let's go find that Shitada Shunta." An'an said.

Li Suibian also nodded.

"How did you get here?" Tang Luo hadn't forgotten Kawakami Kouzi.

"Naturally, it was that Shitada Shunta who told me." Kawakami Kouzi said, "He said we cooperate, after success 'I one he three'. Master, let's kill him together, no, I want to see him wail under my feet, as a dog."

Jiangshan yi gai ben nan yi.

Just a few words of talking, and the nasty character is exposed again.

"Shut up, I ask what you answer, don't say extra words. Usually without my permission, you dare to speak, the poor monk will let you know what is called the Dharma." Tang Luo said.

"Yes." Kawakami Kouzi dared not continue acting recklessly, truthfully recounting their encounter, though how long this state can last is hard to say.

The acquaintance between the two "people" was purely coincidental.

Kawakami Kouzi's charm ability didn't work well on Shitada Shunta, so she took an interest in this guy.

But Shitada Shunta is a standard unfortunate green youth bean sprout, because Kawakami Kouzi acted relatively normal, just observing him secretly.

As a result, they discovered this kid secretly luring people into this long-abandoned house.

Those who entered naturally never came out again.

Kawakami Kouzi also naturally treated this house as a garbage dump, using it to dispose of people she didn't want, which could be considered a certain degree of mutual benefit.

This conspiracy, on the contrary, has nothing to do with Kawakami Kouzi; she found Shitada Shunta after Tang Luo and the others left.

"Wasn't it said that person is Xiao Chu's die-hard friend, and Xiao Chu even mooched meals at his house?" Li Suibian asked.

"How would I know?" Kawakami Kouzi said, "You guys seem to have all lost your memories?"

"Hmph." Li Suibian let out a cold snort, saying nothing.

Regardless of whether that Shitada Shunta is pretending, deceiving Chu Zhongtian, the fact remains unchanged.

Since they weren't trapped to death, now it's their turn to take revenge.

Walking out of the house, Li Suibian just saw Chu Zhongtian, who hadn't appeared, standing outside, looking inside, and upon seeing Tang Luo and the others, happily said: "Master, you guys came out?"

The moment he saw Kawakami Kouzi, his body shuddered violently, and he quickly looked away.

What's going on? Could Kawakami Kouzi this "Fujiang" actually be the "Kayako" inside the haunted house?

"We've been tricked, this house is Shitada Shunta's, he deliberately lured us in." Li Suibian said.

"What?" Chu Zhongtian shouted loudly, then kept coughing, forced to stop, his face extremely painful.

He was certain that at least one of his ribs had been broken.

"I was just talking to him a moment ago." Chu Zhongtian's face was very grim.

"Huh?" This time, it was Li Suibian's turn to be surprised.

Did Shitian Shuntao still talk to Chu Zhongtian just now?

"I was inside..." Chu Zhongtian recounted his experience in the haunted house in full detail, "Just now, Shitian Shuntao, no, that ghost said he had something to do and left first, and I didn't stop him."

"He actually ran away." Li Suibian said, "It seems he has no combat ability outside the house? That could explain why he lured people inside."

"What exactly is going on?" Chu Zhongtian asked.

"The family of three who died inside this house, the child is Shitian Shuntao." Li Suibian explained, "He killed his own parents."

"Then who exactly is he, human or ghost?" Chu Zhongtian broke out in a cold sweat.

He had been chatting and laughing with something that was neither human nor ghost just now?

No wonder he kept asking about Master Xuanzang's whereabouts, asking if he was an exorcist, and even saying he looked very formidable.

It must have been the master who made him suffer a big loss inside the house.

Chu Zhongtian looked at the house and suddenly noticed that the originally intact roof had been partially lifted open.

Sure enough, it was the master's style—tear down the house at the slightest disagreement.

It must have been when the master was tearing down the house that Shitian Shuntao felt danger, thought things were hopeless, and immediately fled.

I originally thought this haunted house was of the Qiezi type—no consciousness, equivalent to a beast-like ghost—but I never expected to discover in the end that it was an old lecher.

Chu Zhongtian instantly felt his intelligence insulted.

Even if you could fight as well as the master, it wouldn't matter—you have brains, I have divine skill, you rack your brains to no avail, I punch you down like a little biscuit.

Who needs brains? Just brute force is enough.

But Chu Zhongtian couldn't fight, and after An'an obtained an unknown yet extraordinarily vicious fate, he gradually slid toward the weakest.

Now he could only rely on his intelligence, yet he was played by a ghost.

Although there were non-combat faults involved, Chu Zhongtian still felt heart-wrenching pain, a woman's sorrow, after all, his ribs were broken.

"Who knows, we can investigate." Li Suibian said, "Isn't it supposed to be a legendary extermination case? There should be some records."

"I know this too." Chuan Shangjiangzi raised her hand, hoping to speak.

Li Suibian did not look at her.

Although stabilizing one's Dao heart can indeed resist Chuan Shangjiangzi's charm, how to put it—just like a pair of white, blooming breasts and a deep cleavage appearing before one's eyes, any man would involuntarily glance—no, should say anyone would involuntarily glance.

The yearning for beautiful things is human nature.

Therefore, Li Suibian still tried his best to avoid contact with Chuan Shangjiangzi, to avoid accidentally being led astray.

And Chu Zhongtian was grateful that his broken ribs helped divert his attention.

This damned woman, her voice is actually so sweet!

"Speak quickly." Tang Luo showed no pity or tenderness.

"That Shitian Shuntao is most likely a person." Chuan Shangjiangzi said, while naturally also needing to investigate while observing.

With her charm, investigating a Shitian Shuntao is as easy as picking something up.

The tragedy back then was not a true extermination, because Shitian Shuntao was only just over ten years old, so in the end it was handled leniently.

After concealing the truth, he was sent to the welfare institute.

In less than a year, Shitian Shuntao mysteriously disappeared from the welfare institute, and people there continued to go missing, until it closed several years ago.

"Master, isn't the person very useful?" After delivering the information, Chuan Shangjiangzi flattered Tang Luo.

"Woof!"

The answer was a threatening dog bark, making Chuan Shangjiangzi instantly feel as if her neck were being pressed by sharp canine teeth, as if it would be bitten off the next second.

Looking closely, the car door had opened, and a small cat was standing beside Tang Luo's feet at some point, its beast eyes flashing with dangerous light, fixed on Chuan Shangjiangzi.

Wait, why would a cat make a dog sound?

"Let's go in first." Tang Luo said, "This woman is good at pushing her luck, cannot be given any praise—even though she will indeed play a significant role later."

"Oh." Chuan Shangjiangzi obediently walked toward the car door.

"Not here, I mean get into the trunk." Tang Luo said.

"Ah?" Chuan Shangjiangzi stopped her steps.

"Need me to say it again?" Tang Luo loosened the white bone whip, casually flicked it, turning it back into a great treasure sword, and sheathed it.

"As long as it's the master's request..." Chuan Shangjiangzi obediently walked to the back of the car, crawled into the opened trunk, and even actively closed the door.

Fortunately, no one passes by here, otherwise Tang Luo and the others could directly become wanted criminals.
