Chapter 326 Li Baotian appears!
The three people and one ghost were all shocked.
Unexpectedly, the body of Ma Baosheng, who had committed suicide by jumping into the well, appeared here.
"Could it be that the wine jars here are filled with the bodies of former villagers?" Although Lin Chen asked this, he had already made up his mind.
Duan Jibo and Duan Qi also thought of this, and asked Ma Baosheng with grim expressions: "Didn't you jump into the well and die? Why are you here?"
"I... I don't know either. I really died by jumping into the well, otherwise I wouldn't be able to leave that yard!" Ma Baosheng was also stunned, and it took him a long time to reply in a frightened tone.
Lin Chen remained silent. He did not think that what Ma Baosheng said was false. He could only say that there was some terrible secret hidden here.
He stretched out his hand and invisible gusts of wind arose out of thin air, like invisible giant hands, which lifted the red cloth covers on more than 300 wine jars in the room, revealing corpses soaked in blood.
"Gundam!"
"Ah Chicken!"
"Li Youcai!"
"Wang Yousheng!"
…
Ma Baosheng exclaimed every time he saw a corpse. He recognized all the bodies and found that they were all villagers.
"It's good that you are a villager. Ma Baosheng, have you found the bodies of your wife and children?" Duan Jiebo asked again.
"No..." Ma Baosheng responded.
Lin Chen said: "He had long ago gotten rid of the bodies of his wife and children, so they shouldn't be here. As for Ma Baosheng's body being here, I guess something must have picked it up."
Duan Jibo and Duan Qi both nodded in agreement when they heard this.
And it wasn't just Ma Baosheng's body. Lin Chen and the other two soon also saw the bodies of Old Lady Li, Tie Zhu, Wang Xiao and others.
Their eyes were tightly closed, as if they were in a deep sleep, but like the previous corpses, there was not a single intact part on their bodies, not even one millimeter long.
Among the more than 300 wine jars, the bodies of all the villagers were piled here.
At this point, Duan Jibo and Duan Qi had been silent.
They felt that they were close to the truth, and this was definitely a major clue, but what exactly happened was still shrouded in mystery.
Duan Qi's face turned pale. She was the weakest and seemed to be feeling very uncomfortable.
After seeing this, Lin Chen sighed, then put his hand on Duan Qi's shoulder. A surge of internal energy surged out and turned into a warm current that entered Duan Qi's body.
Duan Qi's condition improved immediately. He glanced at Lin Chen who had turned back and said softly, "Thank you."
"It's just a small matter." Lin Chen said without turning his head.
In Lin Chen's eyes, the environment here is not only full of blood and energy, but also mixed with unimaginable resentment. It is the place with the most resentment in Li Baotian's family.
Resentment may seem harmless at ordinary times, but when it becomes strong to a certain level, it can have a huge impact on people.
When resentment invades the body, it will cause restlessness, sensitivity, fear, and other negative emotions. In this environment, the resentment is so terrifying that if an ordinary person is here, he will die on the spot in an instant.
It is normal to have an impact on four-star players.
Of course, this was something only Lin Chen could discover. In the eyes of Duan Jiebo and Duan Qi, this negative feeling only came from emotions.
Lin Chen glanced around, then his eyes flashed, and he said to Ma Baosheng: "See if there are any villagers missing? Especially, is Li Baotian among them?"
Ma Baosheng hesitated for a moment before saying, "Li Baotian is not here, and the village chief is not here either."
"Village chief?" Lin Chen and the other two were startled and immediately asked, "Isn't Li Baotian the village chief?"
"No, Li Baotian's family is a landlord and the richest family in the village. The village chief is Li Fu." Ma Baosheng said.
Lin Chen's eyes flickered slightly.
Unexpectedly, another village chief appeared.
"I suddenly feel that the water in the deserted village is so deep and it is getting more and more confusing. I thought that everything was caused by Li Baotian, but now a new village chief has appeared, and he is in the wine jar. I feel that things are not so simple." Duan Jiebo sighed.
"This village chief may also be an ordinary native ghost. His body is not here, and it is possible that he experienced the same thing as Ma Lu and others." Duan Qi pointed out a different point of view.
"Let's go to the west wing and take a look." Lin Chen said.
At this time, only the west wing of Li Baotian's house had not been checked, and there was no need for them to stay in this explored place for long.
Duan Jibo and the other man naturally had no objection.
Soon, the three of them walked out of the east wing, crossed the yard and the pool, and pushed open the door of the west wing.
In comparison, this room is different from the previous ones. Only the neat rows of stoves make it look like the canteen of a large manufacturer.
This scene occurred in Li Baotian's home, and all three of them were immediately filled with doubts.
He couldn't understand it, but at this moment, Lin Chen's expression suddenly froze, and then he looked up and looked outside.
"Boy Chen, have you discovered anything?" Duan Jiebo noticed the change in Lin Chen's expression and asked quickly.
Duan Qi also looked at Lin Chen.
However, Lin Chen did not reply immediately. He seemed to be confirming something. He paused for a moment before slowly saying, "He's here."
When these words were spoken, Duan Jibo and the other man were both shocked.
"What? Who are you talking about?"
"Who's here? Could it be..."
Just as the two were asking, a calm voice suddenly came from outside.
"Dear guests, it would be fine if you came uninvited, but you are rummaging around in my house. Shouldn't you pay a visit to me as the host?"
This was a male voice, sounding not very old and quite gentle, but the sudden appearance of this voice caused Duan Jiebo and Duan Qi's expressions to change drastically on the spot.
"Li...Li Baotian!" Ma Baosheng screamed, full of fear.
Only Lin Chen looked calm. In fact, he noticed Li Baotian the moment he appeared in the yard.
It was formed out of countless grievances out of thin air, and in his perception, it was as if he saw it with his own eyes.
"Why don't you respond? You dare to come to my house, but you don't even have the courage to show up to meet me?" A faint voice came, still very calm and gentle, and it didn't sound malicious.
But Duan Jibo and Duan Qi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat!
They don’t know how strong Li Baotian is , but the possibility that he is the Ghost King is definitely very high!
Otherwise, they would not have felt nothing until Li Baotian made a sound himself and then they knew of his existence.
"What should we do?" Duan Qi's face turned pale, and she was the first to lose her temper.
Duan Jiebo also turned his head to look at Lin Chen, and the shock in his eyes turned into determination. In this very short period of time, he made a certain decision.
However, Lin Chen shook his head and said, "Why are you two so anxious? Isn't he being polite?"
"That's a ghost!"
"Brother, can you be normal? Now is not the time to joke around."
Duan Jibo and the other man were both angry and anxious, and they whispered quickly, "It seems like they both want to leave here."
However, Lin Chen waved his hand. The real owner finally showed up. He would not leave until the last moment. He said:
"Don't panic, just follow me."
As he said that, he took the lead and walked out of the room. Duan Jibo wanted to stop Lin Chen, but before he could reach out his hand, Lin Chen had already stepped out of the door.
"Why!"
Duan Jibo sighed heavily, then gritted his teeth and followed him out.
No matter how much they resisted, they couldn't keep Lin Chen here.
Duan Qi naturally followed closely behind Duan Jibo.
As they entered the courtyard, a tall young man caught the three people's eyes at the door of the main house.
He had a fairly fair complexion, and was wearing a purple brocade robe. He had short hair that was well-groomed, and he looked to be in his twenties. He was looking at Lin Chen with a smile on his face.
He did look very different from the other villagers. He didn't look like someone who had experienced the wind and sun of the land. Instead, he looked more like a wealthy young master.
Moreover, his appearance was very ordinary. He did not emit any ghost power or evil spirit. He looked no different from an ordinary person.
"You finally came out." Li Baotian nodded at the three of them and said with a smile, seemingly without any ill intention.
Lin Chen also nodded and said with a smile: "Since you have invited me, why would I not see you?"
Li Baotian smiled when he heard this, and then he said to the pink sack containing Ma Baosheng: "Brother Baosheng, you are here too."
Ma Baosheng, who was originally very afraid of Li Baotian, suddenly became excited after hearing the words "Brother Baosheng". He said, "Bao... Baotian, it's me, I'm sorry... but what happened in the village? How did it become like this?"
"They are all past events, already passed." Li Baotian looked a little dazed and said with a slow sigh.
Then he stopped paying attention to Ma Baosheng and focused his attention on Lin Chen. He said, "Sir, it doesn't seem right to make a secret visit late at night."
His expression became more serious, as if he was discussing something beyond common sense.
But Duan Jibo and Duan Qi were startled. After they came out, they kept looking at Li Baotian.
Although this ghost looks like an ordinary person, they have no doubt about its ferocity.
The hundreds of corpses in the east and west wing rooms can prove everything.
Some things, the calmer they are, the more depressing they make people feel, just like the calm before the storm.
In their eyes, Li Baotian's questions seemed ordinary, but they must have deep meanings. Real murderous intent might erupt at any time, which forced them to deal with it carefully.
However, Lin Chen spoke without thinking. Instead of retreating, he walked towards Li Baotian and said with a smile:
"It's been a long night, and I couldn't sleep, so I just came out for a walk. But I thought I was the only one who couldn't sleep, but I didn't expect you couldn't sleep either."
Duan Jibo, Duan Qi: “???”
Both of them were stunned on the spot and stared at Lin Chen.
Li Baotian was also stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Lin Chen to be so familiar, but soon he smiled too.
To the surprise of Duan Jibo and the others, he did not make trouble, but slowly said: "I haven't slept for more than ten years."
Lin Chen looked around and then laughed, "That's impossible. The other villagers are all resting. Aren't you the same as them?"
"No need to test me. I am different from those ordinary native ghosts, but I am not the real boss of this instance either!"
Li Baotian spoke slowly.
His voice was still very calm, but the words he said surprised the three people present.
