Chapter 601: Ghosts Are Forbidden

Henry smiled and said gently, “The place we’re looking at now is very small, but the backyard of the wealthy families in ancient times is very spacious. There’s a pavilion and garden. If it’s larger, there’s also a lake, a rockery…” His voice was like a clear spring, warm and pleasant to the ears, neither fast nor slow.
However, just as he walked past the screen, he looked up and saw a bright red wedding dress suddenly standing in front of the main door!
Henry raised his voice. “Ah! A rockery! A rockery!’
Henry’s gentleness was completely shattered!
William also jumped up, and Emma saw it this time. She screamed and stuck behind Amelia. Lucas’s expression changed, and he also leaned close to Amelia by reflex.
“Ghost! There’s a g-g-ghost!” Emma was so frightened that she stuttered! When they had just left, this wedding dress was not at the door of the main room!
The wedding dress stood upright in front of the main door. There was only the wedding dress and no one. However, the sleeves of the wedding dress were folded in front of their abdomen, as if someone was quietly standing there, waiting for them with proper etiquette.
The unlucky ghost exclaimed, “F*ck! I’m a ghost, but I’m actually
frightened?!”
The cowardly ghost said to Amelia, “Mia, if it really doesn’t work out, we won’t play anymore. I’ll carry you out.”
The flirtatious ghost stuck her head out. “Let me see, let me see…”
Amelia’s voice was very low, and only her breathing could be heard. “Shh, don’t make a sound. Don’t scare her away. Ghosts are forbidden from scaring ghosts.” With that, she stuffed a few ghosts into the Soul Retrieving Gourd.
William wanted to cry when he heard this. Who was scaring who? It should be them who were scared away, okay? William, who was timid and wanted to help Amelia complete the KPI, asked in a trembling voice, “Mia, is there a ghost?”
Amelia stared at the wedding dress and shook her head.
William was stunned. There were no ghosts? Then what was it?
Henry’s face was a little pale. After taking a deep breath, he said calmly, “Don’t worry, it’s not a ghost. It’s just a piece of clothing.” The staff member who was pretending to be a ghost left. He did not expect to find a piece of clothing. He was a little helpless and angry. What if they frightened the children? Big Brother must have instructed them not to scare the children. Didn’t these staff understand?
Amelia listened to Henry and nodded. “Yes, it might not be a ghost. It might be a ghost item.” It was just like the pair of footprints her father had seen last time.
William naturally knew about the pair of ghost footprints. Every time Amelia saw a ghost, he would write it down in his notebook. So it was a ghost item… Sometimes, ghost items were even more terrifying than ghosts!
William swallowed. “So, that’s the one that just blew up the curtains?”
Emma stuck her head out and suggested boldly, “Why don’t we burn it? Kill it!”
Lucas, who had been silent, said lightly, “Maybe it’s a clue.”
Everyone felt that it made sense. A haunted house? Everything that appeared had clues. Usually, this was the rule in games. There was nothing that appeared for no reason. However, they had never thought about it. What if the thing in front of them was not a haunted house game but a real ghost?
Henry made the decision he regretted the most in his life. “Don’t be afraid. I’ll go over and take a look.” Since they weren’t ghosts, it was easy. Besides, how could there be ghosts in this world?
Amelia quickly pulled him back. “Third Uncle, I’ll go.”
Henry rubbed Amelia’s head. He was an adult. How could he let a child pass?
“It’s alright, Third Uncle is not afraid,” Henry said. It was just that it was too sudden just now, so he was frightened.
Amelia asked worriedly, “Are you really not afraid?”
Henry was amused. “I’m not afraid.” He was at least an adult, not Emma and William. They were so frightened that they hid behind Amelia.
Amelia nodded. She felt that Third Uncle was so brave! He was much braver than Fourth Uncle!
“Third Uncle, be careful,” Amelia said. “We’ll follow you.”
Henry said, “No need. You guys stay here and block the door.” They had just entered the courtyard and had yet to check the room. What if the wedding dress was deliberately placed by the staff at the door to lure them over? Then, they would sneak to the front yard when they were not paying attention. Then, they would definitely not be able to find anything.
Amelia whispered, “Actually, you can lock the door.”
However, Henry had already walked forward. His footsteps were steady as he approached the wedding dress step by step. He even sized it up. The bright red wedding dress was very bright, as if it was newly made. There were also exquisite embroidery on it, which matched the ancient phoenix coronet and robe. The two sleeves of the wedding dress were placed in front of the abdomen. It seemed to be fixed with a string or button..
