Ye He was afraid that he had seen it wrong, so he took a closer look. However, no matter how he counted, there were only three shadows on the wall.
He looked at A Jiang behind him, and then at He Yan walking in front of him. Neither of them seemed to realize that there were only three shadows on the wall. Ajiang noticed that he turned his head and looked over, and even smiled at him, but maybe it was because of the darkness in the basement that his smile looked a little sinister.
The light reflected by the oil lamp stretched and deformed the people's shadows. The three shadows all had long arms and legs like branches, and they appeared a bit twisted as they moved around.
I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but Ye He even felt that there was a chill in the basement.
Because the shadow was elongated, Ye He had no way to judge who the other two shadows belonged to besides him, and who was the person without a shadow.
Ye He could only turn to the system for help: "System, look, there are only three shadows on the wall!"
He tried hard to control the trembling of his body to avoid being noticed by others, but the fear in his heart gradually expanded like ripples. Ye He now even felt that every step he took to lift his feet was almost exhausting all his strength.
The system looked at the three shadows on the wall. After being reminded by Ye He, it discovered that there were only three shadows on the wall.
Ye He's voice continued: "What should I do, the one without a shadow..."
How can a person have no shadow? It can only mean that the one without a shadow is not a human being at all.
The system fell into silence and began to think about how to explain this matter to Ye He.
Ye He: "System, what should I do? My head is a little dizzy. I seem to be a little dizzy..."
Ye He's voice was trembling a little when he thought that he was with a shadowless person beside him. He really wanted to escape, but he couldn't. Now he didn't even dare to stop for fear of alarming the two people.
He actually wanted to faint now, but for some reason, his nerves had become so strong that they could still support him to open his eyes and continue walking down.
The system really wanted to ask Ye He why he didn't just say that he was allergic to ghosts. But when he thought that Ye He was so scared and still covering up his fear of ghosts, the system was angry and funny.
System: [Don’t be dizzy, where is the ghost?]
Its mechanical sound has no ups and downs. Ye He once complained that its voice had no emotion, but now he feels that the other person's current voice sounds very calm, which is enough to comfort him now.
Ye He calmed down a little and tried not to cry: "I think it's the housekeeper."
system:[... ... .]
Hearing Ye He's words, the system's heart tightened. Before, he felt that Ye He was slow in reaction and easy to fool, but now it seems that the other party's insight is very sharp, and he can identify ghosts at a glance.
System: [... ...why do you think so?]
Ye He took a deep breath and calmed down before having the courage to continue: "Because he always orders me around and is not a human being."
System: [I feel like you are swearing.]
It was because it thought highly of Ye He that it actually thought that Ye He could really identify him. It was obvious that the other party was blinded by personal hatred and luck.
The system was glad that it had just asked Ye He's reason. Otherwise, if it had directly asked how the other party knew, it would have directly revealed that it knew about the matter.
But Ye He felt that what he said made sense. He had previously felt that the housekeeper was very narrow-minded and completely unlike a human being. No wonder Jenny and her sister had carefully warned him to be careful with the housekeeper before. Thinking of the times when the housekeeper was so angry that he was speechless, Ye He was shocked to realize that he had missed danger countless times.
When facing humans, Ye He still had the courage to strike hard, but when facing ghosts, he just wanted to huddle in the corner submissively.
Ye He: "And he called the three of us over, is he ready to deal with me? After all, you also know the relationship between the two of us."
System: [How could the housekeeper be a ghost? Think about it, if you were a ghost, you would still be working diligently here? Wages are not settled in Hades coins, unless he comes to realize his self-worth.]
Ye He: "..."
A ghost talks about self-worth, which instantly makes it less scary.
And according to what the system said, A Jiang and He Yan couldn't be ghosts.
Ye He was still worried and kept staring at the shadows on the wall with his peripheral vision: "But there are only three shadows on the wall."
The system opened its eyes and told lies: [There are three, but He Yan and the housekeeper walked too close, and their shadows were reflected together. If you don't believe me, take a closer look.]
Ye He mustered up the courage to turn his head and quickly glanced at the first shadow. If you look closely, this first shadow does look like two shadows fused together.
Ye He seemed to have completed a bungee jump, and his heart suddenly fell back into his stomach: "Yes, it does look like it."
Hearing Ye He's words, the system couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. It didn't expect that Ye He would dare to raise its head to observe the first shadow this time. Fortunately, its psychological suggestion seemed to have some effect.
Of course, thanks to the fact that the shadow is so abstract, it is impossible to tell who is who.
The system said affectionately in a smooth mechanical voice: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you even if there is a ghost."]
Ye He had relaxed at this time and pretended to be calm: "Who is afraid of ghosts! But I can listen to how you protect me."
He was indeed curious about how the system could protect it, after all, the other party was residing in his consciousness. But I have to say that after hearing the system say this, Ye He felt a little warmth slowly flow into his heart.
System: [I will pray for you in my heart and hope that the Lord God will protect you from this terrible situation.]
Ye He became angry: "Thank you very much."
According to the system's protection method, he can completely think about the aftermath.
What Ye He didn't know was that Ajiang, who was following him, saw that he always turned his head to look at the wall, so he followed suit, and then discovered three shadows on the wall.
Ajiang just glanced at him and turned back, continuing to walk forward silently without showing any signs of abnormality. However, in fact, he had already screened out in his mind who was the person without a shadow - he and He Yan were definitely not the same, and Ye He's reaction was not very similar, so the only one left was the housekeeper.
However, Ajiang felt that there was something strange about Ye He's reaction. After all, he had experienced many dungeons. Even NPCs who lived in dungeons with ghost backgrounds would cry or cry when they realized the presence of ghosts. Ye He shouted loudly, causing great trouble for the player's mission, but Ye He's reaction was too conspicuous among the NPCs.
After knowing that he was just a false alarm, Ye He immediately felt relieved and continued walking forward with He Yan in front. The steps were longer than what he saw. Ye He walked for seven or eight minutes, and He Yan and He Yan who were walking in front continued. The butler stopped.
When Ye He stepped down the last step, the housekeeper had already taken out a key and was opening the iron door in front of him.
