During the period of Qi Chen's hazy consciousness, Long Ya probably touched some key points and found the key to solving the thick fog. As he said, the thick milky white fog had dissipated in almost a moment. Almost there, there is only a trace of residual water vapor still lingering around, occasionally being swept by a light wind and knocking down on the face is a small tide.

Just having the experience of being trapped just now, Qi Chen didn't dare to inhale before the fog was completely cleared even though he was suffocated.

Fortunately, this time God didn't use him as a mouse anymore, and the remaining moist water vapor was quickly evaporated. The sky and the earth were clear and bright. Qi Chen was dragged by Longya's wrist. For a while, he was not sure if he could rest assured. Breathing, he had to raise his hand and pat the back of Longya's hand, and then pointed to his mouth.

Long Ya glanced at him, and said nonsense seriously: "I can't open my mouth, I have to hold back until we get out of this hellish place, hold back!"

Qi Chen looked at him blankly: "..."

"Then what are you asking me for? After the fog is gone, what can't you breathe! Huh?" Longya replied angrily.

"..." Qi Chen rolled his eyes silently in his heart, and the moment he received the pardon, he suddenly slumped his shoulders and took a few deep breaths, as if he had never breathed in his life.

"Are you pulling the bellows?" Long Ya looked at him with disgust and took a deep breath. He felt that he was suffering from tuberculosis. He couldn't help but patted Qi Chen's forehead, pointed to the front and whispered. : "How about a long snack? With such a big movement, the ghost will be startled by you."

Qi Chen, who felt that his lungs were filled with fresh air again, felt that he might not be able to commit Tai Sui this year. He was half dead at the bottom of the river last time.

The previous severe hypoxia caused his brain to almost stagnate, and he couldn't even care to pay attention to where they were after the fog dissipated, not to mention the presence of Longya, he was always a little too lazy to use his brain, and everything would just follow Longya. Well, that ancestor was used to seeing this kind of thing, he could handle it more than he could, and he was used to giving orders.

Now that the fog has dissipated, and even the last bit of hazy water vapor is gone, and being reminded by Longya, Qi Chen naturally noticed the surrounding situation——

What he had groped for in the thick fog before was correct. What they were stepping on was indeed a bluestone slab. The large slabs were laid on the ground in an orderly manner, and a circular yard was formed in a circle. The remaining gaps in the room were filled with green bricks, and the whole yard was very flat, but the stone slabs had been stepped on for many years, and they had been worn to some flooding. The water vapor in the fog seemed a little slippery.

And the spot where he fell just now has the mark of the moss being flattened. Beside that, there is a muddy field with a diameter of about one meter, which is surrounded by a circle of broken stones half-built in the ground. In the middle, there is an old tree with lush branches and leaves, and it is covered with small white flowers, and a large string almost bends the branches down. When the breeze passed through the trees, there would be scattered pieces of white petals falling down, and when they swept across Qi Chen, there was an extremely shady feeling, which made Qi Chen shiver.

To be honest, in this kind of old and weird environment, it was enough to make one's back feel cold, and there is really no need for this old tree to be "icing on the cake".

It was obvious that they were standing in a corner of the yard, not far from the old tree, on the edge of its shade.

And all around the yard are the old sloping eaves stained with water droplets, and several houses that look like no one has lived in them for many years. On the left is an open house with a wooden staircase next to the colonnade, which connects to a cabin on the second floor.

Except for some gloomy sunlight in the courtyard, the houses on three sides are dark, even the open room is no exception, and the staircase is hidden in the dark shadow of the open room, and is surrounded by the courtyard. The drooping branches of the middle-aged tree blocked half of it, and it looked really unclear.

Long Ya raised his hand across the old tree and pointed to that corner, and after he finished speaking, he took Qi Chen forward two steps, as if he wanted Qi Chen to see clearly.

Without the cover of the old branches, Qi Chen finally saw the whole picture of the old wooden staircase...

Naturally, he also saw a person standing in the stairwell.

It was a woman with black hair and a gentle low bun. She was wearing a white narrow-sleeved shirt and long skirt. She looked thin and thin. Standing shallowly in the middle of the stairs, it seemed that a gust of wind could blow her down.

She lowered her head, her hands resting on the old wooden stair railing, and she couldn't see her face.

At the moment when the footsteps fell, Qi Chen heard the familiar sound of wet water.

"This is..." Qi Chen stared at the woman who lowered her head down the stairs for a while, then turned her head and lowered her voice and said to Longya: "Is it her who appears on the stairs of Li Zhengchang's house with water marks?"

Long Ya responded with an "um", but his eyes were not on the woman, but swept the dark rooms around him, and the wooden courtyard door that seemed to be hidden not far behind them.

"Could it be that we are still in the same place? Is this an illusion?" Qi Chen couldn't ignore the inhuman woman like Long Ya, so he slowly retracted his eyes and quickly glanced around, then turned his eyes again. Fall back on which woman.

Long Ya shook his head and said, "Yes, no."

Qi Chen: "..." This is really the same nonsense as saying nothing!

However, Long Ya then explained leisurely: "If you guessed correctly, this should be the original location of Li Zhengchang's house."

"You mean, when it wasn't in the current community, the building where Li Zhengchang lived was originally the location of the old courtyard?" Qi Chen nodded.

The women on the stairs looked at their hairstyles and clothing, which seemed to be in the style of the Song Dynasty. If this house had always existed and continued, it would have been around a thousand years.

He suddenly remembered a while ago... To be precise, it was about two years ago, as if he had seen a report about Tan City, saying that a certain old city was demolished, and many old houses were demolished. It's just that that incident didn't cause any big splashes, because someone uploaded a few photos later. The old houses in the photos are indeed too old and dilapidated. They are scattered in some old alleys, and the wind blows. It's about to fall, and it looks like it can't even be repaired. Later, don't know if the developer spent the money or what, there was no follow-up to that incident, and it was gradually revealed and forgotten.

If more than one such thing happened, and even by chance, the place mentioned in the report at that time was the community where Li Zhengchang lived, and it was not impossible.

After all, Li Zhengchang also mentioned more than once that he and his lover recently lived in an old house.

Qi Chen analyzed this point, and felt that maybe eight, nine and ten were inseparable——

If they no longer live in the old house, then the old house may have been rented out or even sold according to common sense. Few people are so vacant there, and they are ready to go back to live at any time if they hit a ghost. So it's very likely that this community was built not long ago, and they just moved in for a while. Something strange happened in the old house before it had time to deal with it, so they moved back to hide.

So now the illusion of this old courtyard, including the women in this courtyard, may have been entangled with Li Zhengchang because the residence was occupied.

Just why is it Li Zhengchang?

And there is more than one old house, why is there such a strange thing in this place?

A bunch of questions rolled around in Qi Chen's mind, causing him to wander slightly. When he came back to his senses and focused his eyes on the woman in white again, he discovered a strange thing—

The woman had already slowly descended two or three steps just now, and the wet footsteps had sounded several times. Why is she still standing in the middle of the stairs when she looked over, just like when Qi Chen first saw her. She still lowered her head and held onto the handrail of the stairs, the hem of her long skirt moved slightly and stepped down a step.

Qi Chen: "..."

He didn't dare to be distracted anymore, staring at the woman's skirt and the stairs under her feet.

After staring at it for a long time, he finally saw the woman's situation clearly - after she walked down the first step, her whole body would blur for a moment, and then she returned to the place where she went up one step, and then again. Go down one step again, then go back, go down again...

This cycle goes on and on... She actually takes that one step from beginning to end.

No wonder the wet footsteps that heard at Li Zhengchang's house when the fog just rose, always paused for a long time before making a sound.

After Qi Chen understood the situation of the woman, he tugged at Long Ya's hand and said, "Look at her, she has been going down the same stairs, what's going on?" He remembered all kinds of strange novels and even TV he had read. The movie, guessed: "Is this the legendary Earthbound Spirit?"

Because Long Ya is not afraid of this woman at all, he naturally didn't pay attention to her, but concentrated on finding the loopholes here, so that he could get out of this shabby yard as soon as possible.

Hearing Qi Chen's words, he patiently lifted his eyelids and cast a glance at the woman, saying, "It's not the Earthbound Spirit, although the Earthbound Spirit has been repeating the same thing, but it is repeating what happened in his lifetime. On the last day, until the moment of death, and then the cycle continues. This woman, you said, she is always repeating the action of going downstairs, neither stepping on the air and falling to her death, nor taking a step to die of a myocardial infarction, no Any picture of a moment of death, that's not an earthbound spirit."

"What is that?" Qi Chen asked.

Long Ya frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "Someone should have recorded her movement at this moment in some form... As for what's going on, let's go and have a look."

When Qi Chen heard this, his face turned green: "..."
