In a blink of an eye, Chi Yiyin quickly pulled out his notebook, flipped the pages, and stopped at the page where the housekeeper was recorded.

[The female ghost is going to destroy the Ma family, the loyal housekeeper will never allow this to happen! Even if he dies, he will die with the ghost.]

As the pen fell, the figure of the housekeeper appeared behind Chi Yiyin in an instant. Astonishment and confusion drawn on his face, he couldn’t understand why he suddenly appeared here.

But without giving the housekeeper any time to think clearly, his body went out of his control, and immediately swelled into the huge skeleton that Chi Yiyin had seen. The housekeeper then rushed towards the woman in wedding dress within the sea of blood without hesitation.

Seeing this, the surrounding ghosts immediately gathered towards the bride in wedding dress, protected her in the center, and fought with the skeletal housekeeper.

The rough sound of mocking came one after another, the ghosts were warning the housekeeper.

But the housekeeper’s movements were not within his own control at all. Like a marionette, he was being manipulated by Chi Yiyin’s writing to fight from left and right. Even though he wanted to escape in his heart, he rushed towards the woman in wedding dress more violently.

Besiege Wei to rescue Zhao.

T/N: Chinese proverb, Besiege Wei to rescue Zhao (围魏救赵) = avoid head on battle with a strong enemy, and instead strike at his weakness elsewhere. 

The ghosts focused on protecting the woman in wedding dress, and neglected to take care of Chi Yiyin, allowing him to relieve himself from the crisis just now and have time to breathe.

But at the same time, he was also very clear that this situation was only temporary. If he saw an advantage and did not seize it quickly, the opponent will soon seize the opportunity and drive him to death.

Seizing this gap, Chi Yiyin quickly wrote down the attacks he needed the housekeeper to block for him. Made the most reasonable arrangement according to the housekeeper’s character, enlarging his foolish and loyal character, and deliberately weakening his fearful and bullying side. Chi Yiyin then made minor modifications to the key points. The direction and speed were all controlled by him.

Thus, the fierce housekeeper became a tool in Chi Yiyin’s hands, tossing and turning like a loyal servant, protecting Chi Yiyin tightly among the skeletons.

The ghosts gnawed at the housekeeper’s skeletal body, and his bones kept making cracking sounds, which caused him to howl in pain and fear, and kept making “huf.. Huf..” sounds. His bones were crushed inch by inch, and was currently in a state of embarrassment.

But Chi Yiyin never stopped writing.

Under the forced protection of the skeleton, he was safe and sound, staring at the woman in wedding dress intently, trying to analyze her life and death from her clothes and small movements.

After suddenly possessing this strange power when he was a child, Chi Yiyin learned from someone that this was his bloodline awakening. Years of repeated exploration and experimentation allowed him to freely manipulate his own power.

If he wanted the ghosts to be used by him, he must figure out the origin of the ghosts.

Likes and dislikes, obsession, cause and effect.

If Chi Yiyin didn’t know these three most important elements, he would not be able to successfully write the ghost into words under his pen.

In the case he guessed wrong at the beginning, the words written on it would disappear as before when he analyzed the female ghost. However, if he analyzed it wrong in the middle and wrote the wrong conclusions on the notes, the ghost that had been partially sealed in the text would break away as a backfire and even kill him.

The stronger the ghost, the more complicated was their life, and the harder it was to be written in the book.

Just like the female ghost, Ma Yuze.

Chi Yiyin was not clear about the cause of her death or even the massacre of her family, but some facts had already been revealed, allowing him to find a suitable starting point.

This ability is of a double-edged sword. It can possess infinite power, but it is also enough to make him die without a place to be buried.

Fortunately, Chi Yiyin had always been good at analyzing people’s hearts.

He is a novelist that is good enough to know how to arrange the corresponding plot according to the characters’ characteristics under his pen.

The housekeeper was used to the utmost by him, the skeleton gradually collapsed while howling, it was already at the end of its strength.

And at this time, Chi Yiyin finally made a judgment about the woman in wedding dress.

The ghost’s obsession is…

Not resentment.

But guilt.

This was a risky enough decision. Chi Yiyin had seen that the obsession of most ghosts was resentment. After he found the pattern, it had become a point given.

“Resentment” is a safe card.

But he trusted his own judgment.

——If it’s not guilt, why would the younger siblings who were not friendly to the elder sister continue to exist in the mansion instead of becoming corpses under the dining table?

Chi Yiyin made up his mind and dropped the pen solemnly.

When the last stroke was formed, a red light flashed across the text, but it did not disappear.

At the same time, as if sensing something, the woman in wedding dress suddenly raised her head and looked in Chi Yiyin’s direction through the red veil, a shrill roar erupted from her throat.

In the next second, she moved towards Chi Yiyin in an instant, pointing her long, sharp nails at his neck.

But Chi Yiyin remained calm, the pen lightly twirled between his slender fingers, and was held in his hand again.

The notebook opened to the page that belonged to the aunt.

[The aunt wants to talk to elder sister about something very important in Madam Ma’s bedroom right now.]

The moment the full stop fell, the skeleton that had been hanging over Chi Yiyin finally couldn’t hold on any longer, it howled and collapsed into a mess of broken bones.

The woman in wedding dress had already rushed in front of Chi Yiyin.

But he smiled slightly, a calm expression on his face.

Then—disappeared in place!

The outstretched hand of the woman in wedding dress rushed at nothing, leaving only a mess of miserable white human bones falling into the sea of blood in front of her, splashing into a rippling drop of blood.

At the same moment, Chi Yiyin appeared in Madam Ma’s bedroom.

The surrounding had returned to peace and darkness, without a sea of blood or ghosts.

For a while, Chi Yiyin stood silently, he then slowly sighed the foul breath away, and put his notebook back in his pocket.

In the live broadcast room, there was silence, no one commented in the barrage for a long time.

It wasn’t until Chi Yiyin escaped from the dangerous situation that the audience finally came to their senses, and their tense hearts gradually relaxed. Some people then began to launch bullets at the barrage.

[The sea of blood just now had never appeared in previous live broadcasts! Never! What the hell is that? Does anyone know?]

[Ah… still not dead? This guy named Chi also survived, disappointed.]

[WTF!! WTF!! I’m speechless. He can leave without any damage even after being chased by a ghost, and even killed the housekeeper with the help of a female ghost? Was the teleportation done with the help of the aunt? I don’t know what else to say except damn.]

[The strength of this big shot is horrifying. I believe it this time. He is definitely an old player on the Morning Star List or the Heavenly List. This operation is too smooth!]

[Hmm… Is his notebook a special prop? Does anyone recognize it?]

Although Chi Yiyin knew that there was a live broadcast, he didn’t want to tie his hands because he was worried about exposing his strength before the live broadcast. That would cut half of the fun.

He knew people’s heart well and understood that when facing things they couldn’t understand, people would instinctively explain it according to what they understood. He didn’t need to explain too much. As long as he is generous and frank, even if others saw the flaw, they would give themselves a set of explain on their own.

Even if someone really recognized his strength, he was not afraid, even had a vague expectation.

It would be a match against a worthy opponent. 

And after seeing the woman in wedding dress, Chi Yiyin also understood why he was pulled into the game field and appeared in this instance.

——Because of the complete coincidence of time and place.

At the beginning of the instance, he happened to be in the haunted mansion, and the game field and reality overlapped, so he appeared here.

But he didn’t expect, after a turn, he was still at the place of his source of inspiration. It seems that this new book is crucial.

Chi Yiyin glanced at the pen in his hand with a smile, and put it back in the pocket of his suit.

However, when his eyes casually glanced around, he suddenly froze.

This place and when he had left it, there had been a big change.

The room was no longer messy and dilapidated, but magnificent with a faint fragrance. The thick layer of dust that had accumulated just now was gone, and there were no wine bottles and jugs rolling around on the ground, everything looked brand new.

Chi Yiyin suddenly realized something, and strode towards the bed curtain, only to find that the previous mummy had also disappeared, replaced by Madam Ma who was breathing steadily and sleeping peacefully.

His brows furrowed.

No, his power didn’t have this effect. He is able to manipulate non-human beings for his own use based on the partial character of the non-human beings he had seen through, but it would not change life and death and the facts that had already happened.

If Madam Ma was indeed dead, then even if he walked among ghosts once, it would not change this fact.

Unless… it’s the instance or other ghosts that changed this place.

“Yuze, you have seen your mother too, let’s go.”

The aunt’s voice came from behind: “Your siblings are still in the banquet hall. They won’t be able to find us and will make a scene.”

“Let your mother sleep and don’t wake her up.”

Chi Yiyin controlled his speed and turned around slowly, avoiding the tragedy of turning around suddenly and facing something grimacing.

Standing not far away was indeed the aunt whose head had just been beheaded.

She was no longer nervous and apprehensive as before, and it seemed that she really only cared about the younger generation as an aunt, leaving enough space for the mother and daughter to meet each other, and worried about her sister’s health.

If Chi Yiyin had been stupid and hadn’t seen this aunt’s head with his own eyes, maybe he would have believed it.

However, seeing the faint eagerness and hesitation in the aunt’s eyebrows, Chi Yiyin didn’t get too fixated with the changes in the room for the time being. He nodded, followed her and walked out.

The red lanterns in the mansion were still hanging high, and the candlelight swayed with the wind, making a startling red in the darkness.

But the ghosts just now had disappeared, as if what Chi Yiyin saw was just his own illusion.

Under the dim red light, the courtyard was empty.

Only the aunt held Chi Yiyin’s arm and walked across the corridor to the banquet hall.

Chi Yiyin noticed that the aunt kept biting her lips, the bright red rogue rubbed against her pale teeth. Against the red light, there was a sense of terror of being perverted by drinking blood.

She was nervous and anxious, and she knew very well that what she was about to say would make Ma Yuze angry. But even if she broke her relationship with this niece, she still had to speak out.

Why? For interest? Far beyond the benefits that befriending Ma Yuze or the Ma family can bring her?

Chi Yiyin immediately made a character profile of the aunt in his heart.

When the aunt passed the rockery, she finally gritted her teeth and made up her mind.

“Yuze, you have reached the age of marriage, have you considered it?”
