This actor is full of tricks.

During dinner, Dazhu repeatedly emphasized that Lin Jue should not go out after 8 o'clock in the evening, should not make loud noises, and must cover the mirror.

Lin Jue followed up on this topic and asked why the mirror had to be covered. He knew there was something in the mirror, but he was curious why they didn't smash the mirror but just covered it up.

Dazhu’s answer was not to ask too many questions, and if you want to survive you must listen to him.

This guy became tight-lipped, perhaps because Lin Jue asked too many questions.

After dinner, Lin Jue went straight upstairs. He took his raincoat off the mirror, temporarily forgave the old man, and prepared to wait until night fell to meet the guy inside in person.

He walked to the window and looked at the village outside. The night gradually descended from the sky, like a black cloth slowly covering the world.

"Boy, there's a noise outside the door." The old man reminded him in a low voice at this time.

Lin Jue's attention gradually focused on the outside of the door. He tiptoed to the wall and put his ear close to it.

Although the old man was old, his hearing was still good and he could hear footsteps outside the door.

The footsteps were very light, as if someone was tiptoeing up the stairs and walking towards the room where he was.

The footsteps stopped outside the door.

It should be Dazhu who went upstairs and is now parked outside his door. Maybe that guy is also eavesdropping by sticking to the wall like him.

"Why did he suddenly go upstairs?" Lin Jue's face was pressed against the wall. He let the old man out and pointed to the bed on the side.

The old man understood immediately, lay down on the bed, and snored softly.

"Is this guy going to bed so early?" Dazhu's low muttering was heard outside, and his tone sounded like relief.

Not long after, footsteps were heard again, and this time the other party was walking towards the room opposite.

Soon the sound of a lock being unlocked was heard, followed by a creaking sound, and the other party must have walked into the room.

"What's in that room?"

Because they were too far away, Lin Jue could no longer hear any noise outside. He tiptoed to the door, ready to go out and eavesdrop.

[Scene 3: You move into a local villager's home. On your first day, you discover a hidden secret hidden in the second-floor room. Unable to resist your curiosity, you decide to investigate...]

Lin Jue opened the door a crack. The door opposite was still closed, but the lock on the door was gone.

He took off his shoes and walked across the floor barefoot. His breathing slowed down a lot and he approached the room without making a sound.

He has always been good at things like eavesdropping and peeping.

Behind the door, there was a very slight sound of eating, and the person was eating very quickly, as if he was grabbing the rice with his hands and stuffing it into his mouth.

Dazhu had already eaten, so the person eating inside now was not Dazhu, but someone else.

And it must be a woman.

"Slow down, don't rush."

"Today there's a stranger across from you. You must be careful and don't make any noise. I'll take you for a walk downstairs after he leaves."

"I went to see your child again today. He is being well taken care of by his father and is already learning to walk."

Through the door, Lin Jue could hear Dazhu's voice coming from inside, but he was the only one talking, while the other person was eating by himself.

child?

Lin Jue thought of what the old man said: a female ghost appeared in the mirror and was also looking for her child. Could it be that female ghost in the room? Is Dazhu raising a ghost?

However, Lin Jue quickly denied this guess, because the female ghost was looking for the child because she didn't know where the child was, but the people here knew where the child was because Dazhu had just gone to see him today.

"After the big festival in a few days, I will help you clean up your room. It's so dirty in here."

The sound of eating stopped at this time, and the person must have finished eating.

Lin Jue retreated quietly back into the room and closed the door.

There were footsteps outside the door again, and they stopped at his room again. Dazhu outside was probably trying to make sure if he was awake. The old man's snoring still didn't stop. The other party stayed for a while before leaving.

Lin Jue stared at the door panel with flickering eyes.

He thought there might be a body hidden in the room opposite, but he didn't expect that there was a person imprisoned there.

And it seems that it was not a prison, but Dazhu hid him there. After all, the other party's words did not seem to be spoken to the person he imprisoned.

But why would they hide a living person? They even have to eat in the room and create so much garbage.

That woman should be from the village. Dazhu just said that he went to see the child today. So what on earth could have caused a mother to be separated from a child who had just learned to walk?
The woman must not have left her child and hidden away on her own initiative, and she must have cared about her child very much, otherwise Dazhu would not have gone to see the child. So there is only one reason.

If a woman is exposed in public, she may die.

"The ghost woman in the mirror is looking for a child, which means she died after giving birth. The woman imprisoned opposite may have gone into hiding to avoid death after giving birth."

"And the expression on the bride's brother's face today, it made it seem like the bride was getting married like she was going to be executed."

"Once you get married, you'll most likely have children. And after having children, there's a chance they'll die. And it definitely won't be due to any of their own faults, but some external factors, possibly homicide."

Lin Jue felt that he should have gradually figured out the truth, but who exactly wanted to kill the woman who had given birth to a child, and why did they want to kill the child's mother?

Could it be that he was trafficked?

This speculation is very dark, but in this dangerous and chaotic world, Lin Jue never minds speculating on people's hearts with the worst thoughts.

Not to mention this world where order is crumbling, even in his previous life, he had seen a lot of similar news.

But he always felt that the truth would not be so simple. If that were the case, it would be unlikely that he would have met the woman pretending to be rich in the amusement park.

The other party must have been to this village. If the village really had abduction and trafficking, how could they have allowed the other party to leave? This person had come to the door on his own initiative.

The real reason is still hidden deep down, and we need to slowly look for clues.

Lin Jue walked to the bedside and shook the old man: "He's gone, no need to pretend."

The other person didn't move at all, and his snoring even got louder.

This guy actually fell asleep.

"Uncle, get up and open the shop." Lin Jue leaned close to the other person's ear and whispered.

The old man jumped up from the bed in an instant: "Help me up quickly, I want to open the shop!"

"How much do you like opening a shop? And you, a ghost, actually need to sleep?" Lin Jue felt helpless.

Seeing the surroundings, the old man's sleepy eyes slowly regained clarity and he stretched himself. "I haven't slept since I became a ghost. After sleeping like this today, I feel like I've regained the feeling of being alive again."
