Shencheng Mansion.

"Che".

Kayako called out to Jiuzhiche in a low voice.

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

"They really couldn't see us?" Kayako described what had just happened. "That man seemed to glance in my direction several times."

Jiuzhiche looked at the man, who was a gardener pruning flowers and plants.

"I used my telekinesis to conceal our presence, so they shouldn't have noticed us."

Jiuzhiche walked to the man's side, who was busy tending to the flowers and plants and seemed unaware of her presence.

However, a bead of sweat rolled down his cheek, confirming that this person had indeed discovered them.

This is not surprising. They only used a small amount of psychic power to conceal their forms, and someone who is sensitive to psychic energy would very likely be able to detect them.

Instead of seeing them directly, they noticed unusual fluctuations in the surroundings.

If you use the invisibility time-limited buff, then you won't be able to see it.

Or perhaps Jiuzhiche should use more of his mental power, or hypnotize them to ignore his presence.

Jiuzhi Che simply withdrew his mental power, and two living people suddenly appeared. The man was startled, "You are—"

"Shhh."

Jiu Zhiche gestured for him to be quiet, and the man immediately shut his mouth tightly, unable to control himself.

The man nodded vigorously, indicating that he would know what was good for him.

He immediately relented, saying, "I'm just an ordinary gardener who also works as a member of the treatment team. You must be experts; I absolutely won't reveal your existence!"

He has a strong will to survive, and his intuition is quite good; perhaps he will discover something different?

"What's your name? How long have you been here?"

"Just call me Gu Guan. I've been here for half a month. Master, I really won't reveal your identities."

"I've come because of Shinjobo's illness. I'm an exorcist. Lead the way to Shinjobo's room."

Gu Guan instinctively wanted to refuse, but he knew when to back down: "Okay."

Jiuzhi Che remembered that the original story was told from the perspective of Gu Guan, although the entire group was wiped out in the end.

In the original story, people who worked in the mansion for a long time would feel that there was something strange in the air.

Transparent needles seemed to float in the air, and unexpectedly, the skin would feel a stinging pain as if pricked by needles, but in reality, nothing could be seen.

Furthermore, their perception of pain will become weaker and weaker, and crucially, even a small wound on the body will quickly worsen.

For example, Mr. Shencheng, the owner of the mansion, accidentally cut himself on the forehead. He didn't take care of it for a few days, and the wound directly became infected and caused sepsis, leading to his rapid death.

After his death, Lady Shencheng worried that these people would not care about Xiaofang, so she said that whoever could stay until the end would have all of his inheritance given to that person.

However, as more and more people died, they were often in excruciating physical pain, and even minor wounds led to sepsis.

Fearing they would all run away, the lady locked the front door and cut the telephone line.

One by one, the remaining people died, and Gu Guan could no longer hold on. He could feel the pain of Xiao Fang lingering in the air.

In the end, only Gu Guan remained; everyone else had died.

He was left alone to bear the pain in the air, and died in agony in solitude.

Of course, this is the original story; the reality is different.

The mansion itself, and the people inside, are all trapped in a cycle.

They can come back to life after they die, and be no different from the living.

Yes, in Jiuzhiche's eyes they were all living people.

Tomie One-Punch thought they didn't seem like living people because they had no aura at all; it wasn't breathing, but the aura of a human being.

Jiuzhiche observed that their life force was within the normal range, and their souls were all within their bodies, and there was nothing strange about it.

Gu Guan noticed that the people around him seemed to ignore Jiu Zhiche and the others as if they couldn't see them at all.

This further reinforced his desire not to offend Jiu Zhiche.

Kayako followed along, glancing around occasionally with a slightly puzzled expression.

These people are strange.

It was indeed a person, but there was a slight power about it that she recognized.

There were other things mixed in as well.

"This is it."

After Gu Guan finished speaking, Jiu Zhiche turned the doorknob, and Gu Guan felt a chill run down his spine.

Can you open the door without a key?

The room was simply furnished, and a child of about ten years old was lying on the bed. He was pale and opened his eyes after hearing a noise.

"Brother Gu Guan, are they your friends?"

"Yes, I invited them to come and treat you. Xiao Fang, just cooperate."

Gu Guan forced a smile, secretly praying that the other person wasn't a bad person.

"it hurts--!"

Xiao Fang had just agreed when he suddenly clutched his left hand, looking pained. He pressed the red button by the bed, and a piercing ringtone sounded inside the mansion.

A bearded man burst in. "Xiao Fang, where are we going?"

"Left 11..."

Xiao Fang managed to utter a few words with difficulty.

Mizuno called out, "Kuroseki, you're here. Watch over Kobu."

At the same time, press the walkie-talkie and say, "Left 11, quick!"

After saying that, he rushed out the door again.

Gu Guan explained: "The mansion is divided into upper, lower, left, and right areas, with 11 areas in each direction, so that we can easily relieve Xiao Fang's pain."

Jiuzhi Che heard it, but his attention was not on it; instead, he was focused on Kayako.

"Any discoveries, Kayako?"

I feel...

Kayako lowered her voice and whispered in Jiuzhi Che's ear, "This mansion does not exist."

"It's not something that exists on the surface of a material, it's...it's..."

Kayako was trying hard to figure out how to express herself.

"It does not exist in time."

"Yes, that's it."

Kayako's eyes lit up. "Che, I feel like the mansion looks familiar."

Kyuichi Che brought Kayako along because Itsuki Tomie said the mansion would be reborn, and considering that Kayako's abilities included space-time manipulation, he asked Kayako to come along.

According to Kayako, she might have some connection to the mansion.

"Find the place that you think is most suspicious, or the place that looks most familiar."

Gu Guan couldn't hear what they were saying, but he thought to himself, "Why are they whispering? Is it really necessary to keep it from an ordinary person like me?"

After a short while, Xiao Fang's expression softened considerably.

A woman dressed in fine clothes rushed in, "My little Fang, my child, you've suffered so much, are you feeling better?"

"She is Lady Shencheng, and she cherishes Xiaofang very much."

Gu Guan explained in a low voice as usual.

The betrayal was complete.

Jiu Zhiche smiled slightly. Is this the power of 100% luck?

He usually kept his luck to himself and didn't use it, but today he had to investigate something, so he did.

Upon arrival, you encounter the ancient pass, a fitting NPC and protagonist from the original work.

Luck has truly smiled upon me.

"Who are you people?" After calming down Kobu for a while, Lady Shinjo looked at Kyushu and Kayako warily.

"I am an exorcist, and this is my assistant. Madam, your son is not ill; he is cursed."

Jiuzhi Che said this.
