Edwin added softly, "Ahem...it's okay to mention it a little."

Ling Chen smiled casually and left the Moon Goddess Temple.

----

Even though Xiao Huai closed the message board, he still sneezed two or three times. He wondered which god thought of him this way.

The backend turnover is constantly increasing, and the mall upgrade is just one step away.

The higher the mall level, the greater the weight, and the items that can be purchased will naturally become rarer.

Lu Qian saw Xiao Huai sneeze twice and asked caringly, "Have you caught a cold? Are you feeling unwell?"

Although a decrease in a player's mental state will indeed cause some physical discomfort, Xiao Huai is unlikely to experience any such discomfort.

A sly look flashed in Xiao Huai's eyes. "It's okay. I just cheated someone out of some money and they're worried about me."

Scamming money?

Whose money did he cheat? Lu Qian shifted his gaze to Lu Yuanshi who was standing beside him.

Lu Yuanshi pretended to be reading, but he held the book upside down and kept glancing at Xiao Huai.

Lu Qian felt that it was almost certain, and it was possible that his elder brother had been cheated out of everything.

"Boom!" There was another burst of lightning and thunder outside the house.

At this moment, there were bursts of noise outside the door, mixed with the sound of thunder and rain, and the faint cry of a child could be heard.

Why is there a child crying at this time?

Are there other NPCs besides Zhang Jucheng and Zhao Li?

Ever since his mental state dropped, Awen has been feeling uneasy. Unlike Xiao Huai and the other two, he is not as carefree as them.

He didn't know what ending was waiting for him.

I couldn't help but look at the door, and with a "bang", the door was pushed open.

The wind and rain outside suddenly rushed in, bringing with them a chill.

Zhang Jucheng stood at the door, soaked all over, holding a child tightly in his arms.

The crying was particularly harsh amid the sound of rain.

Zhang Jucheng's eyes were cold and empty, without a trace of emotion.

He walked slowly into the house, and the rain dripped onto the floor along the corners of his clothes, making a low sound.

They looked at the child in Zhang Jucheng's arms. The moment they saw the baby's face clearly, everyone felt an inexplicable chill in their hearts. It was extremely strange...

The baby in Zhang Jucheng's arms looked like it was just born, with blood stains still on its body. Logically, the baby's facial features were twisted together and it looked ugly.

However, the baby had a godlike face of an adult.

The body of a baby, combined with the face of an adult.

To be honest, after seeing it, it had a great impact on my soul.

When Li Yun saw the baby's face, she gasped.

How come this child's face looks so much like hers?

Zhang Jucheng also raised his head at this time, looking at Li Yun vaguely, with a smile on his face, stiff and fake.

"Sorry, it won't be so noisy in the afternoon."

After saying that, he went straight to a room on the first floor, left the baby inside, and went upstairs alone.

After he left, everyone got up and went to the room Zhang Jucheng had just been to.

You don’t know until you go, and once you go, you will be really surprised.

The door was gently pushed open, and the smell of staleness and mold hit me in the face.

The room had no windows and was sealed with thick walls. The baby was thrown on the ground and cried loudly.

Although the room was large, it was extremely empty, with only a bed less than one and a half meters long and dirty bedding.

There was only one old doll on the bed, which was covered with patches.

Lu Qian picked up the human-shaped doll, and there were some ugly words sewn on the back of the doll with needle and thread.

"A Happy Family"

Xiao Huai lowered his head, then simply squatted down and looked under the bed.

Hidden under the dusty bed was a yellowed sketchbook.

The sketchbook was completely torn up, leaving only the last page.

A blank page.

Xiao Huai took a flashlight, put it to his mouth, bit it, and carefully changed the angle of the paper.

It seemed that he had found the information he was looking for.

He put away the flashlight and sketchbook, squatted on the ground, took out new paper and pen and started drawing.

Although no one knew what Xiao Huai was doing, the others kept quiet tacitly and did not disturb him.

At the same time, he also began to look for other clues and information in the room.

Lu Qian took out a watch face and watched the changes of the hands on the watch face intently.

After the red pointer finally stopped in one direction, he immediately walked towards that direction.

Originally, there was nothing there, but Lu Qian keenly discovered the trick.

There is a brick on the wall that is movable and can be taken down.

He carefully removed the brick, revealing a secret compartment.

There was actually a pile of damaged papers hidden in the secret compartment.

Lu Qian was not in a hurry to look at it. The papers were too severely oxidized. Once unfolded, they would most likely turn into powder and disappear in an instant.

While he was using a lot of props to repair the painting, Xiao Huai had also finished the painting.

"What do you think this is?" Xiao Huai looked at Lu Yuanshi beside him.

Lu Yuanshi touched his chin. Xiao Huai's painting skills were a bit abstract.

It looked like three stick figures, but he squatted there drawing for a long time. Lu Yuanshi smiled and whispered, "Of course they are a family."

"Yeah." Although Xiao Huai had a blank expression on his face, he was still a little moved inside.

It turns out that I do have some talent for drawing. I can see the outline with just a casual stroke.

Ah Wen was passing by at this time. After seeing the abstract painting by Xiao Huai, he said in a deep voice: "Is this... a painting of three ghosts?"

Xiao Huai glanced at him. Ah Wen looked at the "human" whose limbs were not connected and said, "Are they ghosts after being dismembered?"

Xiao Huai's eyes moved slightly, and he picked up the flashlight again to shine on the pen strokes on the blank page.

As time passed, there were not many traces left on the blank page. After Xiao Huai looked at it again for a while, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Well, that's right. It's a ghost."

But there are not three ghosts, only one.

The man standing on the far left had his limbs disconnected and looked as if they had been chopped off.

Judging by the outline of his hairstyle, this person is "he", a male.

Who was dismembered?

If it is a happy family of three.

Was the man who was killed the father... or Zhang Jucheng himself?

On the other side, Lu Qian was busy and sweating profusely, and finally succeeded in taking the paper.

After unfolding it and seeing it, his expression turned bad. After a moment, Lu Qian spoke:

"Xiao Huai, I think I found some good stuff. Would you like to take a look?"

Xiao Huai turned his head to look at Lu Qian. Lu Qian was holding three pieces of paper in his hand, one of which looked like it was torn from a newspaper.

Lu Qianxian handed the piece of news paper to Xiao Huai.

It records a murder.

The bloody violence is shocking.

"What a shame! A matricide case happened in our city. What an ungrateful idiot!"
