This actor is full of tricks.

As soon as he said this, the group of strange residents immediately became agitated.

"Could you take me to see my mother? She's very old and lives alone..." a strange creature boldly asked.

"I want to see my daughter..."

"I also want to see if my boyfriend is doing well."

"Dude, something's not right with you. Aren't you a guy?!"

The crowd of monsters chattered amongst themselves, but they didn't feel any resistance to Lin Jue's identity as a living person. They had all witnessed Lin Jue's battle with that extremely vicious beast, and the beast was essentially their savior, greatly changing their perception of the living.

Therefore, many of them were tempted when they heard Lin Jue's words.

"Quiet!" He Wen shouted. She did not make a decision based on Lin Jue's few words. She stared intently at Lin Jue: "You said you want us to go to the mortal world, but once the supernatural appears in the mortal world, it will inevitably cause panic, and we will be hunted down by those who have lit up the spirit realm. This is not what we want to see. We just want to live a peaceful life."

How do you avoid this problem?

He Wen stared intently at Lin Jue. Although her words were still stiff, Lin Jue smiled inwardly. The fact that she asked such a question meant that she was already a little tempted.

Now all he needs to do is give the other party a satisfactory answer, and he can take these residents of the Eternal Night Tower away.

“Thanks to this.” Lin Jue spread out his raincoat: “I have two raincoats here. Those with a high level of rationality can take mine, and those with a low level of rationality can go to that handsome guy’s.”

He pointed at Fu Yu, who subtly took a half-step back. He hadn't done anything from beginning to end, but he had been inexplicably dragged into this matter. However, he couldn't bring himself to refuse, and he felt strange.

"My raincoat may not look like much, but it's incredibly spacious. I can stuff in as many ghosts as I want without anyone noticing. Look, there's another one inside, don't you think you'd know if I didn't tell you?"

Lin Jue pointed to the ghostly faces of the female ghost and the chef ghost on the raincoat.

"Impossible." He Wen refused again: "If I were to enter this raincoat, it would be equivalent to signing a master-servant contract with you, and I would have to obey your every command from now on. Is that your real purpose?"

How come this little girl is so precocious?
Lin Jue, his thoughts exposed, showed no embarrassment whatsoever. He remained calm and prepared to explain, but Xue Ying spoke up for him at that moment: "Big Sister, you've misunderstood. Dr. Zhou isn't the kind of person you think he is. This is only temporary. Last time, I also went into his raincoat, and after helping me, he voluntarily released me. He's a person with great love and selfless dedication."

After saying that, he raised his eyebrows at Lin Jue and said, "You agree, right, Dr. Zhou?"

"..."

Lin Jue gave a stiff smile: "Blood Shadow is right. Once I take you outside, I will let you out. I guarantee that no living person will ever go to the place where I live."

He Wen fell silent again, thinking for more than ten minutes before nodding: "Okay, but you have to keep your word."

She agreed not only because of Blood Shadow's words, but also because of the behavior of the shopkeeper and the mirror ghost.

As she approached the unconscious Lin Jue, the ghosts seemed ready to fight her to the death. This behavior proved that the living person in front of her was indeed of excellent character; otherwise, the ghosts, burdened with resentment, would not have acted that way for a living person.

That's why she chose to believe Lin Jue.

“I’ve always been a man of my word,” Lin Jue chuckled. He didn’t want to use force with He Wen; what he wanted was for the strange creatures inside the raincoat to remain loyal to him. However, as long as he could take these creatures away, there would always be a chance to make them willingly follow him in the future. He didn’t rush to stuff the strange inhabitants into the raincoat, but instead asked He Wen another question: “I heard from those outsiders that they came here for a pocket watch. Where is that pocket watch now?”

"Why are you asking this?" Although He Wen had agreed to get into the raincoat, she was still very wary.

Lin Jue remained calm: "I fought with those guys, so they're practically enemies now. I need to find out why they did these things. I'm already involved in this, so I can't just leave things unclear."

He Wen thought about it and realized that made sense. She took out a pocket watch from the pocket of her red clothes and said, "This is the pocket watch that the former building manager gave me to keep."

This is a Western-style pocket watch made of brass. It is quite old, with a dull color and copper rust covering the cover and chain.

There was no dark aura, which means it was just an ordinary pocket watch and not some kind of mysterious artifact.

Lin Jue stared at the pocket watch: "May I take a look?"

He Wen handed over the pocket watch. It felt a little rough to the touch, was quite light, and seemed to be hollow inside.

Lin Jue opened the hinge of the watch cover, revealing the watch face inside. But when he saw the watch face, his expression changed slightly, and his eyes narrowed.

The dial is indeed empty; it doesn't contain any mechanical components, but rather a small, round photograph.

The colors in the photo have faded considerably, but the content of the photo is still clearly visible.

In the center of the photo is a middle-aged man with slicked-back hair, wearing a brown-gray suit, who is squatting down with his arms outstretched, embracing a little boy and a little girl on either side.

The boy and girl look alike and are about the same age, so they must be twins.

The photo was taken with the focus on the portrait, so the background is a bit blurry, but you can see that it is an arched door with colorful and crooked lettering on the door.

Happy Paradise Amusement Park!
The background of the photo is clearly the Happy Paradise amusement park, which is the same amusement park where Sun Jiankang, the third child of the mist, is located.

"The man in this photo must be the dean, and the two children in his arms are his son and daughter. But this looks like an ordinary photo. Why would the original owner steal this? And why is the dean making such a big fuss about taking it back?"

Lin Jue stared at the photo, trying to find some clues, but there was nothing strange about the photo, and the pocket watch was just a normal pocket watch.

But it's precisely because it's so normal that it's even stranger; the original owner must have had some purpose in stealing this pocket watch.

"Did the previous building manager tell you anything about this watch?" Lin Jue returned the watch.

"He just told me to keep this watch safe, saying it would be very useful when he came back." He Wen shook her head, indicating that the former building manager hadn't said anything special.

It will be very useful in the future...

Lin Jue frowned slightly. What use would an ordinary pocket watch be in the future? Was he going to shake it to hypnotize the enemy?
He couldn't figure it out, so he decided to go to Happy Paradise amusement park after emerging from the fog to see if he could find any other clues. (End of Chapter)
