Chapter 102 I think you're a very serious person.
Lin Tian knew what Li Na was thinking, but she had to fight for it tonight, or more precisely, to help her master and Su Zixu gain more room for error.
Hayashi tentatively suggested:
"I'd like to switch places with you. I've been to the ancestral hall before and know at least a little about it."
"Besides, if it really is a ritual inscription, I know a thing or two about it, and I might be able to spot the trap in tonight's mission, which would ensure you don't fall into it."
Lin Tian's words made sense, but the thought of being ranked fourth made Li Na reluctant. She worried that the longer it dragged on, the less safe it would be.
Even though Lin Tian said that the middle position was also a safe bet, Li Na still refused, as she had her own plans.
Le Zheng Feng Ye must want everyone to use the second option so that he can minimize the risks for himself and Su Zixu.
He couldn't hide the fact that he and Li Zheng had switched places, but he also made it public that he had gone out of the mansion that afternoon to look for clues.
The collaboration with Li Zheng surprised everyone present.
But upon closer examination, it makes sense. There are no permanent enemies; here, everyone prioritizes their own interests.
Le Zheng Feng Ye's words, which were only half-said and half-hidden, were quite intriguing.
The meaning couldn't be clearer: he had to come out alive tonight in order to reveal the clues he had gathered that afternoon.
Moreover, compared to Li Zheng, Yue Zheng Feng Ye is naturally more credible.
Zhao Hu: "Li Na, you should switch with Lin He. If senior Liu Ye dies, we'll have a hard time getting out of here alive."
Li Na was immediately angered when she heard this.
"Can't you have any backbone? What's the use of begging him? He almost killed me."
"Last night he pushed the ghost into the warehouse, and the ghost lunged at me." Li Na said coldly, still shaken.
"I think you're a really serious person," Zhao Hu muttered under his breath.
Upon hearing this, Yue Zheng Fengye was taken aback for a moment, then scratched his head and said embarrassedly:
"The situation was urgent at the time, I didn't mean to. If you don't want to change it, then forget it."
Ultimately, everyone except Li Na disagreed and Li Zheng remained silent, all of them agreed to use the second option.
The people at the front of the line copied as much as possible, but Le Zheng Feng Ye and Su Zi Xu were responsible for covering the rest.
The night grew even darker, and all Li Na could hear along the way was the soft rustling of her own footsteps.
The building in front of us is the ancestral hall, with a faint candlelight shining through it.
Li Na's heart raced as she stepped into the ancestral hall.
She discovered that the people in the house had not prepared a table for them, and in the very center of the room was a tattered, yellowed booklet.
The booklet was untitled and very thin, probably only a few dozen pages long.
A stack of yellow paper lay beside the booklet, but what alarmed Li Na was the small knife.
In addition, on top of the yellow paper were a basin of water, an inkstone, two candles for lighting, and a small, round-headed stick made of wood.
But she didn't see the ink or the brush anywhere.
"Does it mean they need to use blood?" Li Na looked at the knife with a complicated expression.
She already had the answer in her heart, so she hardened her heart, cut open her palm with the knife, and squeezed the blood into the inkstone.
Since she had no pen, she dipped her fingertips in the blood, half-kneeling and half-crouching on the ground, and began to copy the words with focused attention.
She had only written two words when she realized the light was blocked by a shadow. She moved the paper slightly, but the shadow quickly returned.
Li Na's body trembled involuntarily. Realizing something was wrong, she didn't dare to look up and could only secretly glance around out of the corner of her eye.
Yu Guangzhong's own shadow slowly changed shape under the lamplight.
No, that doesn't seem to be her shadow.
Li Na suddenly looked up, and there was nothing in front of her except for the ancestral tablets.
Li Na steadied herself and bent down to continue writing.
"Outrageous...outrageous..."
The sound of voices interrupted Li Na once again.
The voice was deep and muffled, coming through a layer of deathly silence.
Li Na got up again, looking around in alarm, but heard nothing.
"Outrageous... You... Outrageous..."
The sound was intermittent, but clearer than before.
Just ahead, Li Na suddenly turned around and looked at the memorial tablet in front of her.
"Outrageous!"
The sound rang directly in Li Na's ears.
Li Na couldn't sit still any longer. She jumped up and ran towards the door.
She dared not linger, and forgot to strike the clapper, rushing straight back to the west courtyard.
"Open the door! Open the door! Open the door now!"
Li Na pounded on the door, but after knocking for a long time, there was no response.
She saw the shadows reflected in the doors and windows, knew that the group of people were standing behind the door, and knew what they were worried about.
"I am Li Na, Zhao... Zhao Hu, your real name is Zhao Zhanlin, I am real, not a ghost!" Li Na said hurriedly.
The door opened with a click, and Li Na was pulled inside.
"Why aren't you banging the clapper?" Zhao Hu asked.
Li Na's face turned deathly pale. After her heartbeat calmed down, she said, "There's a ghost. There's a ghost trying to kill me."
"What the hell?" Li Zheng asked.
Li Na: "I don't know. I didn't see any specific ghosts, but I heard something talking, shouting something about 'heinous rebellion'."
I was so scared that I ran straight back.
After saying that, she slumped down at the table, and Jianyu poured her a glass of water.
Li Na held the cup of hot water, and the warm steam made her feel much more relaxed.
Su Zixu chimed in from the side, "You're a grown man, and you only have this much courage?"
Upon hearing this, Li Na's hand holding the cup trembled involuntarily.
It's true that she's a boy, but these people respect her personal orientation and have never treated her like a boy.
Su Zixu's words struck her as extremely jarring.
Once suspicion takes root, it is difficult to suppress.
She looked up and saw that everyone was staring intently at her with heavy eyes.
A sudden, inexplicable pang of fear swept over me, and panic instantly spread throughout my body.
Li Na slowly stood up, her mind racing as she considered countermeasures.
A moment later, she said, "I think I dropped something on the road. I'll go look for it."
Zhao Hu quickly asked, "Why don't I go with you? I'm not the next one anyway."
Jianyu chimed in, "Exactly! I'm going out anyway, why don't I come with you?"
"No, no need, I can find it myself."
Li Na quickly waved her hand, trying to stall for time while slowly moving towards the door.
When Li Na was close enough to the door, she turned around quickly, pushed the door open, and ran outside.
But fate had other plans; Li Na stumbled as soon as she took her first step.
She fell to the ground in pain, struggled to her feet and looked back, only to find that what had tripped her was a threshold, which was much higher than the thresholds in the courtyards.
Li Na turned her head sharply and found herself back in the ancestral hall.
