After rebirth, she discovered the space golden finger

The two fought back and forth, and the participants hiding in the room heard the commotion and came out of the room one after another.

They immediately noticed the fight between Pei Yun and the butler, but when they arrived at the first floor of the main hall, everyone's attention was drawn to several paintings on the wall. They stared in disbelief at the newly hung paintings—

"Zhang, Zhang Jian?! How could Zhang Jian's portrait be on the wall?!"

"...And there are portraits of Fellow Daoist Pei's team members... What... exactly happened?"

……

Pei Yun, who was fighting with the butler on the fifth floor, also heard the conversation below. Her heart tightened, and she couldn't care less about dealing with the person in front of her. She flew down to the first floor and stared in shock at the newly appeared portraits on the wall. Apart from her, the other four members of her team each had a portrait.

Pei Yunxin's heart sank, and he immediately had a bad feeling. He headed towards the room where the four of them had entered the night before.

Sure enough, Fu Lingchen and the other three were already dead, their bodies still on the bed. Pei Yun felt a tightness in his chest.

"Fellow Daoist Pei, what happened?" The other four teams followed Pei Yun into the room.

Fu Lingchen and the other three died in bed, their deaths bizarre. It was as if their chests had been pierced by a sharp weapon, and their eyes were wide open.

As the four men lay dying, their eyes were fixed on the portraits hanging opposite their beds, all of which were of beautiful women.

"Didn't the butler say the room was a shelter? Why did Fellow Daoist Pei's teammates die in the room?"

"And they were all looking at the painting before they died. Could their deaths be related to the painting?"

"However... judging from the marks on the wound, it seems he was stabbed to death with a dagger..."

Upon hearing this, everyone present remembered that Pei Yun carried a dagger filled with resentment. Instantly, they couldn't help but quietly move away from Pei Yun, their eyes warily fixed on her.

Pei Yun remained silent for a long time: "These four are all my team members, why would I kill them? Besides, one of them was sucked into the painting last night. We just saw his body in the corridor and the new portrait on the wall. It's obviously the work of the vengeful spirit in this villa..."

Pei Yun's words made everyone look somewhat embarrassed. Qian Zheng cleared his throat and asked, "Fellow Daoist Pei, why did you fight with the steward?"

This was not only his question, but also the question of everyone else present.

At this moment, the fifth floor of the villa had returned to calm, and the painter and the butler seemed to have returned to their own rooms.

Pei Yun, having experienced the collective elimination of Fu Lingchen and the other three teams, felt as if she had been doused with cold water, and her mood became depressed. She went to the sofa in the main hall and told the other four teams about what had happened to her the night before.

"...This is too perverted, it's simply inhuman!"

"So, it's highly likely that the vengeful spirits in this villa were all killed by the painter alone?"

"So our trial mission is to deal with the painter?"

"Captain, why don't we combine the strength of our teams and go after the painter together?!"

……

"Fellow Daoist Pei, you just fought with the steward. What do you think of his strength?" Xu Wei asked calmly.

“It is a powerful vengeful spirit, equivalent to the strength of a Golden Core cultivator. Our cultivation has been suppressed, leaving us with only 10% of our power, so we may not be able to deal with it…” Pei Yun replied.

She then asked the people present, "I didn't go back to my room last night. What happened to you when you went inside?" She wanted to know how Fu Lingchen and the other three died.

Wu Ziwei began, "I felt very sleepy after entering the room, so I lay down on the bed and fell asleep. I didn't wake up until six in the morning..."

"Is there anything unusual about the portrait in the room? Did no vengeful spirit emerge from the painting?"

"No, although the painting looks scary, and you can see it as soon as you look up while lying in bed, no vengeful spirit comes out..."

"...Are you all like this?"

Most people present nodded, but a few hesitated. One of them said, "But... I had a dream. I dreamt that I was standing in front of a large door, about to open it, when I suddenly woke up..."

"I dreamt about it too; it seemed like I left the villa..."

One person spoke up, and the others who sensed something was amiss quickly followed suit: "...Me too, but I opened a door and saw...an altar..."

As he spoke, the man looked up at Pei Yun again, "Fellow Daoist Pei, the altar I saw in my dream last night is very similar to the one you described before. I'd like to go with you to that church you mentioned today..."

Pei Yun's spirits lifted, and he stood up, saying, "Let's go now."

Wu Qing nodded, greeted her captain, and the two left the villa. Once daytime arrived, the villa's doors could be opened normally.

The others did not follow. Yesterday, Pei Yun described the vengeful spirits in the church as extremely terrifying, and they dared not go.

These people had a vague suspicion that the deaths of Pei Yun's four teammates might be related to their visit to the church during the day.

Of course, it's also possible that these four people had the lowest cultivation levels present and were all injured. If a vengeful spirit wants to deal with someone, it will naturally start with the easier ones.

The statues in the church were completely destroyed because of Pei Yun, and the resentment dissipated, so the blood-red illusion would no longer appear.

Wu Qing arrived in front of the altar, staring blankly at it, her mind buzzing. The dream from last night kept replaying in her mind, and her face was as pale as paper.

"Fellow Daoist Wu, what have you remembered?" Pei Yun noticed her fear and quickly asked, "Fellow Daoist Wu..."

A look of fear crossed Wu Qing's face. She screamed in panic and left the church without looking back, running towards the villa...

Pei Yun pursed his lips, watching her departing figure, then turned to look at the altar, pondering silently for a long time before leaving the church.

After leaving the church, Pei Yun did not return to the villa immediately, but went to the rose garden again. As soon as she approached, the strange phenomenon that had occurred the day before was repeated in the rose garden.

Pei Yun then went to the servants' quarters and casually inquired with them, "...Where did all the women living in the villa come from?"

When the servants heard her question, a hint of fear appeared on their numb faces, their bodies trembled slightly, and they could only shake their heads and dare not answer.

"Besides us, do other guests come to the manor?" Pei Yun then asked.

At this moment, a younger maid spoke up, whispering, "...The master often hosts banquets or art exhibitions, inviting guests to the manor..."

"Hmm... do all these guests live near the manor?" Pei Yun asked.

"These guests are all local tycoons; even the mayor and his friends often visit the host's estate..."

“They come to the manor every week to pray at the church…” Seeing Pei Yun’s gentle attitude, the cook mustered her courage and spoke up, “That evening, fresh ingredients will be delivered so we can prepare a sumptuous dinner for them…”

Pei Yun's expression hardened, as if she had thought of something. She quickly got up to leave. At this moment, the gardener hurriedly entered the room, hiding fearfully in a corner, hugging his knees and muttering incessantly, "It's happening again! It's happening again!" He seemed to be frightened by the strange phenomenon that had just occurred in the rose garden.

Seeing Pei Yun looking at the gardener, the cook quickly explained, "This...this is the steward's son, Ryan, who has been mentally challenged for a long time..."

Pei Yun, who was about to leave, stopped and frowned at the gardener: "This is... the steward's son?"
