Chapter 359: Back Mountain
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Why!” Ji Jing crossed her arms and looked at Ji Xun seriously.” Ji Mu and Ji Song gave me the keys, and then you came and dragged me away. Are you guys playing a wheel battle?”
Although Ji Jing asked this question, it was as if the word “No” was written on her face.
Ji Xun shrugged helplessly.” Although it’s hard to believe, it’s not true. I only went to the manor at the back of the mountain to get a painting. When I was looking for the key, Ji Mu said that he gave it to you, so I came.”
“Then why don’t you go by yourself? Here’s the key.” Ji Jing looked at him in confusion. It was just an old manor. What did it need to be protected for?
“No, no, no! Actually, that manor…ln the past, I would always have nightmares every time I went there. In my dreams, there would always be a strange ghost hand. In the past, I didn’t believe in these things, but now, the more I think about it, the more I feel that something is wrong. I can only come to you.” Ji
Xun spoke with a serious expression, but he was secretly trying to figure out Ji Jing’s expression. He didn’t know if this would convince her.
Ji Ying told him that if ordinary people like them encountered something related to metaphysics, Ji Jing would not ignore it. That was why Ji Xun thought of this method.
To Ji Xun’s surprise, Ji Jing’s movements suddenly paused and she frowned.
Had he been persuaded? Ji Xun muttered to himself.
However, Ji Jing suddenly recalled the nightmare that she had a vague memory of.
Was it also a nightmare and a pair of hands? Could there be some connection between them?
Ji Jing frowned, weighed her options, and finally nodded in agreement.
The Taoist priest’s dream sometimes had some pointing effect. She had not had any clues about that nightmare for the past few days. Now that she had encountered it, she had to investigate.
Ji Xun’s eyes lit up.” The commission amount is one million. This is a legitimate reason. You must accept it.”
Ji Jing didn’t comment. She took out the keys, took her small bag, and walked towards the back of the mountain with Ji Xun.
The back of the mountain was actually just a low hill. It was carefully maintained on a daily basis, and the small paths in the forest were all cleaned up.
However, no matter how ordinary the garden was during the day, it seemed dark and terrifying in the quiet night.
” After passing through this forest, there’s a manor that looks very similar to home. That’s my uncle’s home.” Ji Xun said as he swept away the overgrown branches.
He was waiting for Ji Jing to ask. Wasn’t she curious? Why was there a manor so close by, but no one had ever mentioned it?
“Yes.” Ji Jing’s response was still calm. She casually brushed away the curious ghosts and monsters that passed by.
Her gaze fell on Ji Xun, who was striding forward with a flashlight in his hand. Suddenly, she felt that something was wrong.
Would Ji Xun be afraid to barge into the manor alone because of a nightmare from Netherclaw?
That didn’t seem to be the case. He was someone who could arrange work in an orderly manner even when his company’s game had produced Ghost Realm. He wasn’t like Ji Ying, who was so shocked.
Ji Jing looked at Ji Xun’s back and felt that she had been tricked because she was too concerned about that nightmare.
But she had never told anyone about that nightmare, so how did Ji Xun accurately say the word ” ghost hand “?
“However, it was abandoned many years ago. Later, the family gradually tacitly agreed not to mention this place.” Ji Xun stubbornly continued to probe.
Was he really not curious? A mansion that was suddenly abandoned and an empty manor. This was a secret of a wealthy family. There were too many people who wanted to investigate this story. Ji Xun looked at Ji Jing subtly.
“Oh.” Ji Jing nodded, indicating that she heard him.
“….”Alright, it seemed that she really had no curiosity at all! Ji Xun scratched his head and sighed in his heart. He had given up.
Ji Xun didn’t speak, and the two of them immediately fell silent. In the silent environment, the rustling sounds in the forest became clearer.
A gust of wind blew through the forest.
“Ji, Ji Jing, isn’t it very easy to find wandering ghosts in this kind of mountain?” Ji Xun’s Adam’s apple bobbed up and down, and his voice could not help but tighten.
” It’s easy to gather Yin Qi in places with few people. It’s normal for ghosts to like places with heavy Yin Qi.” Ji Jing casually stepped on a broken leaf that had fallen to the ground, but Ji Xun was so frightened that he shrank back.
Ji Jing looked at Ji Xun with a complicated expression.” Are you afraid?”
“Yes, yes, it’s all because of what you did last time. Now, it looks like there’s a ghost everywhere! His worldview has collapsed!” Ji Xun looked around warily..”
Do you think there are really ghosts around here? I don’t think so, right?”
