Quick Wear: Welcome to the Crazy Scene

Shen Jin once again came to the courtyard where Qi Ci and Zhao Xue had their secret meeting. The alley was narrow, with little light even in the daytime. The moss on the ground was growing beautifully.

"Do you know who lives in that room?" She squatted beside a group of children her own age and pointed to the closed wooden door at the end of the alley.

The door panel looked rotten, as if it had been there for quite some time, and there were even stripes on the bottom where it had been eaten by termites.

"No one lives there." The child was sure, staring at the peanut candy in her bag and swallowing.

no one?

But she had just seen Qi Ci leading people in last night.

"Don't try to trick me. Children who tell lies get no candy." Shen Jin pinched out a piece of candy, turned it around in front of them, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"If you don't tell me, I'll finish it myself."

The child was obviously anxious and wanted to grab her sleeve: "I'm telling the truth!"

"My mother also knows that the house has been empty for more than ten years. Many people have come to see it, but it has not been sold."

Shen Jin handed a piece of candy to the child who was talking.

She asked, "Then do you know why it didn't sell?"

The child quickly stuffed the candy into his mouth. Afraid that Shen Jin would regret it, he mumbled, "Because it's haunted."

"The ghosts didn't want them to live here, so they drove away the adults who were planning to buy a house."

……

Things gradually became weird. The ancient world did have the possibility of inspiring supernatural backgrounds, but she remembered that this world was a story about ordinary mortals and there were no ghosts or gods.

But since "haunted" is a fact, it means there is something shameful here.

Shen Jin joked, "You guys won't move out if it's haunted, aren't you afraid that ghosts will come visit your house?"

"Hehe, I'm not afraid!"

The child made a face. "We have a gatekeeper blocking our way! And Lord Qi came here in person and stayed for seven nights to tell us there's no problem!"

It’s Qi Ci again.

If her ability had not been unable to work on key figures and she had not been afraid of causing expulsion from the world consciousness, she would have tied Qi Ci up long ago and stopped him from being a mysterious person.

"You guys divide it up."

Shen Jin stuffed two pieces of candied cake into his mouth, and gave them the rest along with the cloth bag, then stood up and looked at the locked wooden door.

The candied cookies made a crunching sound, and the sweetness spread throughout my body.

"I want to see if it's a real ghost or just pretending."

Shen Jin fiddled with the yellowed lock, which was covered in rust and offered no protection. This was also taken as evidence of the courtyard's abandonment.

She started easily, stepped on the wall on one side, supported herself on the top of the wall, and then climbed into the inner courtyard and hid in the shade of the trees.

In spring, new leaves begin to appear. If it were truly uninhabited, the leaves would have fallen all over the place.

Shen Jin surveyed the entire space from above. Although there were fallen leaves, one could see signs of human cleaning.

What is certain is that there are people living here.

She assessed the situation, tapped her toes, and jumped to the ground without disturbing anyone. With a few steps, she slipped out the window.

The window paper is newly pasted, slightly yellow and transparent.

Through the window paper, you can see the situation in each room clearly.

and many more.

Just as Shen Jin was about to explore the next room, she was shocked to find that she seemed to have found the person living here.

Through the window, I couldn't see clearly, I could only vaguely see the thin figure of the man, who was lying on the small couch with his head supported, as if reading a book.

Since there are people here, we should be more careful.

Shen Jin pondered, then flipped over, squatted on the roof, and lifted the tiles.

Of course, her lifting of the tiles was only symbolic, and what was actually being explored was her spiritual consciousness.

She locked her eyes on the man on the bed. He was so young, yet he had a thick beard, which was unpleasant to look at.

His face was extremely pale, the sickly look of someone who hadn't seen the sun for years. He held a book in his hand, the language crude and bold, comparable to the Jin Ping Mei, and he hummed a little tune, his thighs swaying slightly to the rhythm.

After a moment, he stood up from the couch and walked towards the door.

Shen Jin was glad that he had climbed onto the roof in advance, otherwise, wouldn't he have been able to perform a door-opening kill for him?

It was difficult to hide alone during the day, and the courtyard was his territory, so Shen Jin did not intend to chase him, but just let his spiritual sense follow.

"It's time to go eat."

The man looked up at the sun, estimating the time, then opened the door to another room and stepped inside.

It’s not a kitchen, but a rather complicated dressing room!

As soon as Shen Jin caught up, he came face to face with a huge floor-to-ceiling bronze mirror.

The man did not stop.

He first took out an official robe from the wardrobe and put it on. The patterns on it looked familiar, but all official robes of the dynasty looked the same.

Shen Jin temporarily suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and continued watching.

He changed into an official robe, and then into long boots.

The man sat in front of the mirror, opened the drawer, took out a wooden box, and then took out a black wooden box from it.

He took out the thing covered with red silk with both hands, quite cautiously.

It was not until the red cloth was lifted that Shen Jin saw a human skin mask placed inside.

She watched from the rooftop, her eyes sparkling, and then she walked to another rooftop with ease, so she could get a closer look. This was the legendary human disguise technique, something she had never seen before.

The man's movements were ordinary and skillful, and he was obviously a veteran.

The mask was stained with an unknown translucent slime, sticking to his face. He held a pen in one hand and powder in the other, painting and revising the mask.

Shen Jin's surprise gradually turned into shock.

The face of the person in the mirror became increasingly familiar. Shen Jin wondered, was he pretending to be someone else?

Finally, he put down his pen and nodded in satisfaction at the mirror.

He stood up, put his hands behind his back, and took a step.

All the strange feelings disappeared completely after taking this step. The person in the room had the same face and body shape as Qi Ci, and even the way they walked was exactly the same.

He transformed into Qi Ci's appearance!

Shen Jin suddenly slapped her forehead. She said something was wrong. It turned out that Qi Ci really had two people!

So all the doubts were connected into a straight line.

Zhenqi's Cizhou Prefecture and Qi Mansion were his only direct route, and the rest of the time he was either at work or on his way to work. However, he preferred quiet time while working, often spending long hours alone in his study. Even at night, when he returned home, unless there was something important to do, he would remain in his study, closed in.

This provided the fake Qi Ci with ample time to act, as long as his action time was delayed by one or two hours compared to Qi Ci.

How audacious.

And he succeeded, and no one noticed the accident for such a long time?

Shen Jin followed the fake Qi Ci out of the room.

This small courtyard has a hidden world. There is a secret door hidden inside, which can be led out from another alley.

After walking through the alleys and turning a few corners, it took less than an incense stick of time to reach Youhezhou Prefecture.

Fake Qi Ci walked in openly and accepted the greetings from the guards passing by, acting frankly and confidently.
