"Alright, let's go now," Lin Tian said, turning his head to look at Bu Mengting, "Mengting, you go back first. I have some things to deal with first."
"No! I want to go with you!" Bu Mengting's eyes sparkled.
Hearing this, Lin Tian was somewhat taken aback and looked at her strangely. It was then that Lin Tian realized, upon hearing the story, Bu Mengting was not frightened; in fact, there seemed to be a hint of excitement in her eyes.
Excitement!
Yes, excitement!
Noticing Bu Mengting's expression, Lin Tian was at a loss for words and waved his hand: "Go on, go play, be good, I'll find you tomorrow."
"No! Let me go with you." Seeing that Lin Tian did not agree, Bu Mengting clung to his hand and cooed.
"You…" Lin Tian was at a loss for words again.
"Please, can I?" Bu Mengting kept cooing.
Lin Tian, speechless, thought for a moment and finally nodded, "Alright, just remember to behave."
"Yes! You're so nice, Lin Tian, you're adorable!" Hearing Lin Tian agree, Bu Mengting showed a sweet smile.
Lin Tian was speechless, shaking his head.
The reason Lin Tian agreed to let Bu Mengting come along was that he had confidence.
His confidence came from his superpower of precognition.
Though the mission seemed somewhat eerie, the precognition superpower had not activated. So the mission should not be dangerous, at least there was nothing that posed an irreparable danger to Lin Tian. It was for this reason that Lin Tian agreed to let Bu Mengting come along.
Seeing that Lin Tian was actually bringing a little girl along, Wang Lan opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing.
Since nobody objected, Lin Tian and the other two left the residential area, took a taxi, and headed toward Wang Lan's hometown.
When leaving, Lin Tian and Bu Mengting each informed their families, saying they would be back later.
Sitting in the taxi, Lin Tian, seeing Wang Lan somewhat uneasy, asked, "How did you know I live here?"
"Um…" Wang Lan hesitated for a moment, then somewhat awkwardly said, "Actually, last time we went to rescue my nephew, I helped you buy a train ticket, and I memorized your address from your ID card!"
So that's how it was, Lin Tian thought to himself and was speechless.
Shaking his head, Lin Tian did not speak.
Meanwhile, Bu Mengting, hearing Wang Lan's words, curiously looked at Wang Lan and asked, "Rescue your nephew? What happened?" Your journey continues with empire
Glancing at Lin Tian and seeing that he had no objection, Wang Lan began to explain.
Lin Tian did not talk much on the way, only closing his eyes to rest.
Lin Tian had a faint feeling that this matter was not simple.
Two hours later, when they arrived in Wang Lan's ancestral village, it was already completely dark.
Lin Tian checked the time, and it was already eight o'clock in the evening.
"Let's go, my house is just ahead." By then it had completely darkened, and Wang Lan, suddenly worried, did not dare stray too far from Lin Tian.
"Let's go, didn't you say it wouldn't be so fast? Don't be nervous," Lin Tian had also clarified on the way that the ghost generally appears around nine thirty.
Then Wang Lan led Lin Tian and the other toward the old house.
Ten minutes later, Wang Lan stopped, pointing at a courtyard ahead and said, "This is it."
Hearing Wang Lan's words, Lin Tian stopped and carefully observed the courtyard.
The courtyard was large, at least four or five hundred square meters. Such a large area in the city could only be seen in those high-end villas.
Of course, this house was no match for a villa; it was still one of those old-fashioned houses constructed from mud brick. Moreover, it was covered with the type of stone tiles found only in the countryside.
Lin Tian glanced around and peered inside to find that the room was already illuminated by a dim yellow light.
"Grandpa, Grandma, I'm here!" Upon reaching the courtyard, Wang Lan called out loudly and pushed the gate open.
Seeing Wang Lan enter, Lin Tian also walked in, while Bu Mengting curiously looked around her.
"What else do you want! Didn't I tell you not to come?" As Lin Tian entered the courtyard, two elderly people with graying hair came out of the room.
"Old man, what are you talking about? Isn't it good that the child came to see you! Come on in, have you had dinner yet?" The old woman next to the old man warmly greeted Wang Lan.
Then she noticed Lin Tian and Bu Mengting behind Wang Lan, and cheerfully said, "These are your friends, right? Come on in."
Lin Tian gave her a curious glance. This old lady seemed to be in a good mood, not at all like she had seen a ghost.
With suspicion, Lin Tian walked into the room.
Upon entering, Lin Tian stared blankly for a moment.
"Hey, what's wrong with you? Why the daze, come in!" Bu Mengting, who was following behind Lin Tian, noticed he had suddenly stopped and stood still, so she curiously nudged him.
"Oh! Okay!" responded Lin Tian, stepping forward into the room. Despite this, he still looked somewhat puzzled.
As he entered the room, Lin Tian turned his head and quietly asked Bu Mengting, "Mengting, don't you feel it's a bit cold here?"
"Cold? Not at all!" Bu Mengting responded, looking at Lin Tian strangely.
Not cold?
Lin Tian frowned.
Just now, as soon as he had walked into this room, he had felt it was noticeably colder inside than outside.
It wasn't the kind of coldness.
But rather a somewhat gloomy and chilly coldness.
"Come on in! I knew you hadn't eaten, so I made a few extra dishes today," said the old lady cheerfully, heading toward the kitchen.
Seeing the old lady leave, the old man by her side discontentedly grasped Wang Lan's hand, "Lan, I told you, don't come here anymore, just go after dinner."
"Grandpa, this time I invited Master Lin over; everything will be fine. He is the one who found the baby last time," Wang Lan comforted her grandfather.
"Ah!" The old man glanced up at Lin Tian, shook his head with a sigh, and remained silent.
"What are you guys talking about? Come and eat!" At that moment, the old lady came out with the dishes.
Since it was still early and they were really hungry, Lin Tian unceremoniously sat down to eat.
It was already 8:30 p.m. when they had finished their meal. Afterwards, everyone waited in the room.
Throughout the process, Lin Tian noticed that the expressions of the two old people seemed quite composed and they didn't appear to be very scared of the impending ghost.
Seeing their calm expressions, Lin Tian finally understood why the two weren't leaving.
Could it be that they were courageous?
But were they really not afraid?
Was the ghost not formidable? But if it wasn't, how could it have driven Wang Lan's uncle to madness? How could it have terrified Wang Lan to the point of breaking down?
Lin Tian was puzzled.
As they waited, Lin Tian thought for a moment, then stood up and said to Wang Lan, "Why don't you take me for a tour around the different rooms."
After a moment of hesitation, Wang Lan nodded.
Seeing the two of them get up, a very curious Bu Mengting also stood up. Up to that moment, Bu Mengting hadn't shown the slightest fear; instead, she seemed quite excited.
"Grandpa, I'm going to show Master Lin around," Wang Lan told his grandparents, then led Lin Tian to inspect the various rooms.
