Chapter 29 Gate of Resentment

 After watching for a while, Lin You confirmed that there was no one in the main hall, so she opened the door and prepared to leave. There’s nothing to gain by staying any longer, so she doesn’t have to waste her time.

    Not long after it got dark, Lin You determined that the eldest young master should not act for a while. Therefore, she intends to deal with another matter.

    This is about her mission. Her mission is: who is Mrs. Xu sorry for?

    When Lin You got this task, Lin You initially wanted to choose to contact the eldest lady, but no one from the eldest room, except the eldest young master, appeared on the first day.

    After learning of the old lady’s death, Lin You subconsciously wondered whether the old lady would be related to this mission. After all, hasn’t the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law been a big problem since ancient times?

    It’s a pity that there is no clue from the old woman’s side. Thinking of this, Lin You mind suddenly flashed a picture of the dresser without a mirror in her mind. She hesitated between the two sides of the eldest young master and the old lady, and finally decided to go to the eldest young master if she met a player on the road, and if not, go to the old lady’s side. However, Lin You hadn’t even seen a night-watching servant along the way.

    Soon, Lin You still didn’t dare to be careless when the courtyard with white lanterns hung showed. She waited vigilantly for a while, and then she quietly opened the door without any loud movements.

    This little action made Lin You happy. Because the door only opened a crack, she saw that the guardian of the spirit who was lying on the ground stumbled to his feet, and slowly his body became more flexible as time passed. Lin You was sure that this was the paper man who attacked her last night.

    She saw that the paper figurine stood in the same place and was confused for a while, then turned around and walked towards the back of the yard. Lin You saw the paper figure turn around the corner, and followed without hesitation. The paper figurine was empty now, and Lin You felt that she could fight it.

    After all, the thing that happened yesterday couldn’t break through that door. The strength can be seen as middle in general.

    Lin You quietly followed the paper man to the backyard. Behind the old lady’s yard are some utility rooms and the place where the maids live. There is no one now, and it looks very lonely. The paper figurine turned a few corners with ease, stopped at the entrance of the small kitchen in the old lady’s backyard, pushed the door open and walked in.

    Lin You didn’t dare to follow in, so she could only walk to the door, try to observe the movement of the paper figure, and estimate the time for her to take action.

    The paper figurine came to the kitchen, picked up a kitchen knife at random, and chopped it on the chopping board a few times. Several kitchen knives have been tried. Those knives were arranged very regularly, so Lin You could see at a glance that the missing one was the one that was hanging from her waist.

    It seems that the knife that fell into her yard yesterday is the favorite of this faceless man, so he tried to search here for a long time, and he had to settle for one of the long and narrow kitchen knives. Seeing that it had chosen a knife, Lin You quickly turned around and pressed against the wall beside the kitchen door. She held her breath and clenched the knife in her hand that the paper figure dropped yesterday.

    The paper man walks very lightly and basically makes no sound. But its body is made of paper, and it wears human clothes, so it makes a “squishy” rubbing sound while walking.

    5, 4, 3, 2, 1!

    The silver light cut through the silent night, Lin You jumped up, she could almost feel the dazed moment the paper man saw her. But Lin You gritted her teeth and cut the knife into the paper figurine’s right shoulder, using the utmost strength, the knife slashed the paper figurine in half like flowing water. The knife in the paper man’s hand fell in response.

    Lin You knew that the paper figurine’s body was so fragile, but she couldn’t believe it, that the paper figurine who was still in front of her room yesterday was so easy to deal with. Seeing the paper figurine lying on the ground and split in half, Lin You frantically made a few more cuts until the paper figurine could no longer be seen.

    Shredded paper and bamboo strips all over the ground.

    Lin You covered her face and smiled silently.

    See, actually, it’s actually quite easy.

    Lin You comforted herself, so don’t be so afraid.

    She was stunned for a while, then looked at the stove in the kitchen, where the fire had already been extinguished. For some reason, Lin You used that ball of clothes to clean up the wreckage of the paper figurine on the ground, and mentioned it to the mourning hall where the old woman was.

   She didn’t know what happened to the candle on the incense burner in the mourning hall, but it has always been burning like this. Using the fire, Lin You directly wrapped the clothes around the remains of the paper figurine and burned them together.

    The flames jumped, and Lin You felt that something seemed to have changed, and it seemed not to have changed at the same time. But at least she could sleep peacefully in the middle of the night, Lin You didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. Soon, the faceless man was burnt clean, leaving only a handful of ashes. Only then did Lin You calm down, and when she calmed down, she felt something was wrong.

    The paper figures on the left and right sides of the coffin don’t seem right? ? ?

    Lin You looked at them one by one, and found that these paper figurines actually avoided her scrutiny. Lin You remembered that when the coffin was inspected yesterday, these paper figurines were all staring at them.

    The position can be moved, but how can the drawn eye move?

    There must be ghosts!

    Lin You held the candle that was taken from the incense case, and the fire was bright and vivid, making Lin You’s expression inadvertently clear. After a stalemate for a while, these paper figurines did not attack Lin You, they stood in place one by one, as if they were just ordinary paper figurines.

    Lin You suddenly saw the blood on the corner of the mouth of the paper figurine who was pulling the carriage and the horse. There are six people on the opposite side, one of them has an absolute numerical advantage, but they didn’t harm her. What does this prove?

    They can’t move.

    Lin You came to this conclusion, after remembering that the faceless paper figurine she met last night was also moving in the middle of the night, although it was a little earlier today, his strength was terrible. So those who are hurt by these paper figures will definitely not be old players, but newcomers?

    No matter how much she guessed in her heart, Lin You had already slowly approached the paper people with the candle, and sure enough, a look of panic flashed in the eyes of the paper people closest to her.

    “Oh? Are you afraid?” Lin You looked at the paper figurine with a guilty conscience, and pulled away a smile.

    She used to be scared, and even passive, now …

    “Ah, ah, ah …” 

The screaming continued, Lin You did not sympathize with these paper people. What the Faceless Paper Man did to her yesterday, and the blood on the corner of one of the six paper figurines proved that these guys were not harmless.

    Sure enough, Lin You found flesh and blood in the ashes of several paper figures after burning.

    Fresh and red blood, Lin You avoided it at a glance and didn’t look at it again. She wasn’t scared, she just felt sick. After doing all this, Lin You put the candle back, looked at the incense next to her, and inexplicably put another cone for the old lady.

    “You, don’t blame me.” Lin You said while offering the incense, “I have burned the paper figurines for you so that you can use them underground. Otherwise, you will suffer a lot if you just put them there?”

 It’s not known if Lin You’s blackening aura is too obvious, the incense at this time is actually good, and it didn’t burn out like yesterday. Seeing this, Lin You sneered in her heart.

    Oh, it’s really afraid of wicked people.

    “Who are you?” The voice from behind made Lin You, who was still in the mourning hall, tremble, and turned to look subconsciously.

    A teenage girl in a cyan dress looked at her strangely. Her eyes were indistinct in such a dark night, but her skin was snow-white, and she had an air of pity.

    The little girl looked at the mourning hall, and then slowly walked towards the mourning hall, Lin You’s muscles all tightened. But the little girl crossed the threshold and walked into the room. Under the light of the candle, Lin You realized that she had a shadow. This discovery made Lin You relieved.

    “Oh my God, here…” The little girl looked over. “This is what you did?”

    Lin You was taken aback, and she shook her head as if nothing had happened, saying that it wasn’t herself

    , “I, I don’t know.” Lin You looked innocent, “I’m here. It’s like this when I was there.”

    “This…” The little girl looked a little suspicious, “Why haven’t I seen you before? Did you come to the Xu residence recently?”

    Lin You began to explain her origins, and after listening to Lin You. After the identity was revealed, the vigilant look on the little girl’s face disappeared. She doesn’t know if it was because of Miss Lin You’s identity, or because she hid her emotions.

    “I’m the second girl of the Xu family, just call me Le Qi,sister of the Lin family.” Second girl Xu introduced herself.

    Lin You knew that the Xu family had a second girl, but she belonged to the third-family and was weak. She appeared on the first day but was hiding in the corner. Lin You was visiting several principals of the Xu family. This girl left no impression, nor does she remember her face clearly. But she didn’t expect to be such a gentle and calm person.

    “Le, cousin Le Qi.” Lin You could only call that. Anyway, the women she met call her the younger sister of the Lin family, even though Lin You was actually much older than them.

    “Why is the cousin of the Lin family here?” Xu Er girl glanced at the incense stick in the incense burner, “I remember that the guest room is separated from here…”

    Lin You blinked, and then she shed false tears

    “Me, I too I don’t know, the Xu family seems to have…” After Lin You finished speaking, Lin You pretended to look at Miss Xu Er with fear on her face.

    “Ah, you know.” Xu Er’s face was very calm. “Yes, there are ghosts in the Xu family.”

    Lin You: … You didn’t even bother to cover it up?

    After speaking, Miss Xu Er showed a mocking smile.

    “This ghost from the Xu family is the old lady.”

    “Old, old lady?” Lin You gave Xu Er girl a suspicious look, and then looked at the red lacquer coffin, “But, the old lady is not very polite… 

“No, it’s the old lady. She not only wants to kill the second master of the Xu family, but also the uncle, the eldest lady of the Xu family, and everyone in the Xu family!” At this moment, the X second girl’s face showed a bit of a hideous look, “It’s her, she wants to make the Xu family have a hard time!”

    Lin You just thought that this girl is quite normal just now, let’s put a question mark again. It looked like she had a mental problem. Lin You was silent for a while, and when she saw her expression calm down, she pretended to be afraid and asked for information:

    “Why does the old lady do this?”

    Xu Er girl simply took out three incense sticks, lit the candle next to her, and inserted it into the incense burner. In the middle, looking at the slowly rising smoke, she said:

    “Of course, for revenge.”

    “For the two men and one woman who died.”

    The author has something to say: Lin You: Today I will show you a Japanese paper man fighting a bayonet with bare hands!

    Paperman: You agreed to one-to-one, but you actually copied the house one-to-many! Unfair!
