    "Who are you?" Wang Tianbao couldn't help but ask.

    "Wang Tianbao, how come you don't recognize me after not seeing me for a day?" Gao Fushuai asked with a smile when he heard this.

    Wang Tianbao thought about it, but he still couldn't remember where he had seen the person in front of him before. He frowned and asked, "Who are you?"

    "Chen Shao." Gao Fushuai replied with a slight smile.

    "It's you?" But Wang Tianbao was surprised, and even the people around him were surprised.  Before yesterday, Chen Shao gave the impression that he had colorful hair and earrings, looking like a slutty little hooligan.  Now that it has changed, I have to say that the impact is still huge.  It's like a slut suddenly turns into a chaste and fierce woman.

    "You, what stimulated you?" Wang Tianbao asked in confusion.

    "Haha It's not that I was stimulated, it's just that what happened yesterday made me understand how naive I was before, so I want to start over. Fu Bao, I will not give up on you." Chen Shao suddenly rushed to hide behind Wang Tianbao  Wang Fubao said.

    When Wang Tianbao heard this, he immediately said angrily: "Okay, you haven't given up yet!"

    "Of course. I, Chen Shao, have never been a person who gives up easily."

    "Don't even think about it!"

    "Hmph, I will work hard to pursue the talisman. You can't stop me."

    "I will beat you to death right now!" Wang Tianbao said angrily.  As soon as he took a step, Wang Fubao grabbed Wang Tianbao's sleeve and said, "Brother, no, let's go."

    "I'm warning you, don't get close to my sister!" Wang Tianbao threatened Chen Shao, waving his fist at him.

    "I won't give up." Chen Shao said firmly.

    Byland’s Hunters Guild

    Han Yu and Ning Ping stood in front of the task announcement board and chose the tasks they could do.  Byland is not as prosperous as Daniel, and most of the tasks it releases are just routine tasks. There are no tasks that can be accepted without a level.  However, the mission that Han Yu and the others wanted to take was unable to take it because the hunter level required was too high.  After picking and choosing, Han Yu and Ning Ping chose a job as temporary guards.  The task content is very simple, serving as a nursing home for a family, responsible for night patrols and so on.

    Back to Wang Sanniang’s house, Lin Ke, who was waiting at home, saw Han Yu and Ning Ping coming back and ran over to ask if they had found a suitable task.  When Han Yu told Lin Ke, Lin Ke had not expressed his opinion yet.  Wang Sanniang, who was in the audience, spoke first.

    "Han Yu, is the company where you and Ning Ping are going to work named Lando?"

    "Ah, yes." Han Yu replied after hearing this.

    “…Han Yu, wait for my advice and quickly quit this mission.”

    "Why?" Han Yu couldn't help but asked in confusion after hearing this.

    "Because, I heard people say that that house is haunted."

    "Huh?" Han Yu was stunned when he heard this, and then burst into laughter.  "Aunt Wang, you really know how to joke. How can there be ghosts in this world?"

    "I'm telling the truth!" Seeing that Han Yu and Ning Ping didn't believe it, Wang Sanniang couldn't help but said in a stronger tone.

    Seeing that Sanniang Wang had a straight face, as if she was not joking, Han Yu stopped laughing and asked, "Aunt Wang, you said that house is haunted, have you seen that ghost?"

    "No."

    "Since I haven't seen it, how can you be sure it is haunted? Aunt Wang, feudal superstition is unacceptable."

    "You brat, you just have to be tough now. When you actually meet me, it will be too late to regret it." Wang Sanniang couldn't help but said angrily after hearing this.

    When Lin Ke saw that Wang Sanniang was really angry, he quickly glared at Han Yu and then asked Wang Sanniang to smooth things over: "Aunt Wang, don't be angry. Han Yu has always been talking like this without thinking. But Aunt Wang, what is going on with that haunted house?"  ah?"

    "Lin Ke, you are still sensible. Huh, unlike some people" Wang Sanniang glanced at Han Yu and turned around.

    Han Yu scratched his head when he heard this, shut up and listened quietly to what Wang Sanniang had to say.  Just listen to Wang Sanniang say: "It has been six years since we talked about this matter. Six years ago, Byland was attacked by a pirate group. You have also seen that the planet Byland is said to be from Misolan.  One of the guardian satellites, but due to its location, it was not taken seriously by the Misolan star garrison, so that it was taken over by a pirate group called Mongoose. I remember that the entire Byland was captured by the pirate group at that time.  It was captured, and the few defenders were killed. More than one-third of the residents were killed. The then head of the Lando family and his wife were killed at that time. Only a young man was left.  The ten-year-old daughter is alive in the world. After these six years, she is now almost sixteen years old. At that time, because the Lando family's house was the most prosperous in Byland, it was occupied by the pirate group.point.  The pirate group's final battle with the Alliance Army was also there.  The battle was brutal and half of the buildings were destroyed.  One can imagine how many people died there.  As for the haunting, it was the following year. When people passed by there, they could often see figures flashing through the windows in the closed rooms of the manor, but when they took a closer look, there was not even a figure.  As time went by, rumors started to appear that the place was haunted.  "

    "But is it a bit too hasty to say that it is haunted based on this alone? Maybe the servants of the Lando family are cleaning the room?" Han Yu couldn't help but interjected.  Ning Ping next to him also nodded in agreement.

    Wang Sanniang rolled her eyes at Han Yu and continued: "Don't interrupt, I haven't finished speaking yet. At first, people thought it was the servants of the Lando family who were cleaning, but then they couldn't bear their curiosity, so they recommended a few  Representatives went to Lando's house and asked to find out. But what do you think those representatives saw after they went in? "

    "What did you see?" Han Yu asked knowingly.

    "I saw a thick layer of dust accumulated on the floor of the corridor. What does this mean? It means that no one has been there for a long time. Afterwards, everyone went to the room where someone was spotted flashing past. As a result, they were in the corridor.  It’s the same as what I saw online. Not only is there a thick layer of dust on the ground, but there is also a layer of dust on the bed, wardrobe, and coffee table.”

    "Aunt Wang, how come you know it so well? It's like you saw it with your own eyes." Han Yu interrupted again and asked.

    "Nonsense, because I was one of those representatives at the time."

    "Oh, what happened next?" Han Yu asked again.

    "Later? Of course, the news that the Lando family was haunted spread."

    “Didn’t that person from the Lando family ever think of coming forward to refute the rumors?” Ning Ping asked aloud.

    "How to refute the rumors? After the Lando family was robbed by pirates, except for one daughter who survived, the remaining relatives, after knowing that the Lando family did not have a principal, all stared at the Lando family property, and how could they care about anything else?  .”

    "In this case, how did the Lando family survive the difficulties?" Ning Ping asked curiously.

    "This is about the butler of the Lando family. It can be said that without that housekeeper, the Lando family would have ceased to exist."

    "Oh, Aunt Wang, tell us quickly." Han Yu said quickly after hearing this.

    "The butler's name is Brad. I heard that he used to be close friends with the head of the Lando family. After getting the bad news about his friend, he rushed to Byland immediately. He first took action and gave a severe lesson to the head of the Lando family who was threatening him at that time.  The daughter's relatives then used their connections to place the position of head of the Lando family over the daughter of the head of the Lando family, and then lowered themselves to serve as the housekeeper of the Lando family, guarding the daughter of the head of the Lando family.  .”

    "From what you said, the butler named Brad is a kind and righteous person, and he is worth getting to know. Ning Ping, do you think so?" Han Yu said thoughtfully, touching his chin.

    "Yeah." Ning Ping nodded slightly when he heard the words.

    "I've been talking for a long time, but you still have to go there." Wang Sanniang said with some disappointment.

    Han Yu comforted: "Yes. Don't worry, Aunt Wang, Ning Ping and I will be fine. We are just going to serve as night guards, there will be no danger."

    "I'm not worried. Since you are not afraid of death, then you can just go." Wang Sanniang replied stiffly.

    Knowing that Wang Sanniang is a hard-spoken and soft-hearted person, Han Yu and Ning Ping looked at each other and smiled. Han Yu said to Wang Sanniang: "Aunt Wang, please take care of Lin Ke while Ning Ping and I go to Landu's house.  . She has some memory loss, and she doesn’t remember much of the past, so please be more careful."

    "You don't need to say anything. I like this child Lin Ke very much. I will take good care of her even if you don't say anything. Lin Ke, what's wrong with you? What are you thinking about?" Wang Sanniang turned around and saw Lin Ke's thoughtful face.  He looked puzzled and asked.

    "Ah? It's okay, it's okay." Lin Ke replied quickly when he heard the words, and at the same time thought to himself: "It turns out that I still have amnesia now, I have to remember, don't accidentally reveal any flaws."

    "It's fine." Wang Sanniang didn't think too much. After hearing Lin Ke say that she was fine, she turned to Han Yu and told Han Yu some common sense about warding off evil spirits. She explained to Han Yu one by one what she could and couldn't do.  clear.  Lin Ke couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Wang Sanniang had been fooled.  She didn't know that all her expressions fell into the eyes of Ning Ping, who had been observing her secretly.

    Han Yu nodded with a smile on his face and listened to Wang Sanniang's instructions. As for how much he listened to, only God knows.

    The next day, Han Yu and Ning Ping took WangThe peace charm that my mother asked for for both of them came outside the Lando family's manor.  It's not that they are interested in the reward from the Lando family, but that as long as they complete this task, the hunter level of the two people can be improved by one level. This is the most important thing for Han Yu and Ning Ping.

    As the welcoming servants entered the Lando family's manor, twelve junior hunters, including Han Yu and Ning Ping, came to the Lando family's reception room.  A slender man wearing a butler's uniform and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses was already waiting there.

    "Welcome to you. First of all, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Brad, and I am the steward of the Lando family. In the next few days, you will accept my leadership. I hope that both of us can cooperate happily. Yours  The job is very simple, it is to patrol at night to prevent anyone from sneaking into the manor and causing harm to the current head of the Lando family, Miss Sophia."

    “I have a question.” Someone among the hunters raised his hand and said.

    "Please say."

    "How long will this task take?"

    "One week."

    “After I took this mission, I heard people say that this place is haunted. I wonder if it’s true?” Another hunter raised his hand and said.

    "It's not my place to answer this question. If any of you don't want to take on this mission, you can withdraw now. I guarantee that the Lando family will not complain to the Hunter Guild about this matter."

    Hearing Brad's answer, two hunters immediately turned around and walked out, but Brad did not stop them.  After seeing that Brad didn't react, four more people left immediately.

    Brad waited for a while and saw no one left.  Then he said: "I am very happy that you are willing to stay. For this reason, I have decided to double the original reward. The six of you will work in groups of two and be responsible for the nighttime security of the villa where the lady lives.  .”

    "How to allocate working time?" A hunter asked aloud.

    "I will be responsible for Miss's bedroom, and you only need to be responsible for the remaining three." Brad replied after hearing this.

    After waiting for a while and seeing no one asked any more questions, Brad said: "Since you have no questions about this job, get ready to start working. Work starts at seven o'clock every night and ends at seven o'clock in the morning. The rest of the time  You can make your own arrangements. You can go for a walk outside or wander around in the garden of the manor. Of course, I hope you won’t get close to the abandoned manor.”

    "Is it really haunted?" Han Yu couldn't help but ask.

    Hearing this, Brad glanced at Han Yu and replied meaningfully: "Are there ghosts in this world? Who can say clearly. It is better to believe that there are ghosts than not to believe that there are no ghosts."

    After explaining the things to pay attention to, Brad went out to do his own thing.  He left Han Yu and others in the reception room.  Seeing that there was still some time before starting work, Han Yu suggested to Ning Ping that they go out for a walk together.  But Ning Ping shook his head at this time and rejected Han Yu's proposal.  Because when he came out, he left something very important at Wang San's house and needed to go back to get it.  Han Yu shrugged indifferently upon hearing this, left Ning Ping and ran to wander in the garden of the manor alone.

    Rather than talking about Han Yu wandering around in the garden of Landu's house, let's just talk about Ning Ping rushing to Wang San's house.  I drove in a hurry, and when I arrived, I happened to meet the Wang brothers and sisters after school, and there was a stranger following behind them.

    "Sir." When Wang Tianbao saw Ning Ping, he quickly ran over with his sister.

    "Well, who is that?" Ning Ping nodded, looked at the stranger standing not far away and asked.

    "It's that guy Chen Shao." Wang Tianbao replied with a long face.

    "Chen Shao? Which Chen Shao?" Ning Ping couldn't help being stunned when he heard this, and asked aloud.

    "That's the man who led a dozen hooligans to block our brothers and sisters yesterday."

    "Oh, it's himDoes he look like this?" Ning Ping asked in surprise.

    Wang Tianbao said: "No, he suddenly changed. Not only sir, but also I was shocked when I first saw him."

    Ning Ping looked at Chen Shao and asked Wang Tianbao: "Then why is he following you brothers and sisters?"

    "It's not for my sister. This bastard is so evil. Even if a toad wants to eat swan meat, there's no way for it!" Wang Tianbao immediately gritted his teeth and replied after hearing this.

    "You do love your sister very much." Ning Ping joked with a smile.

    “That’s right, I will never give that guy a chance to call me uncle.”

    "Brother, what are you talking about?" Wang Fubao on the side finally couldn't help but yelled.

    Ning Ping glanced at the Wang brothers and sisters, smiled and shook his head, feeling a little envious in his heart.  He turned around and entered the house, meeting Lin Ke head-on.  Lin Ke meets Ning PingWhen he came, he couldn't help but be startled, "Ning Ping, why are you back? Where is Han Yu?"

    "I'll come back to get something. Han Yu will stay there to familiarize himself with the working environment where we will be working for a week." Ning Ping answered as he walked upstairs.

    "Then do you always come back?" Lin Ke asked again.

    "I'm afraid it depends on the situation. After all, we are working, and we may always encounter problems of one kind or another." Ning Ping turned around and replied after hearing this.

    Lin Ke lowered his head and thought for a while, then reminded Ning Ping: "Ning Ping, you and Han Yu should be careful. I just heard Aunt Wang mention that the Lando family has special guards. Since there are special guards, and they are specially  Ask the hunter to be the night guard. In other words, the problem is likely to happen at night, so you and Han Yu should be more careful."

    "Lin Ke, thank you for the reminder, I will tell Han Yu."

    Hearing what Ning Ping said, Lin Ke immediately felt relieved and said to Ning Ping with a smile: "Then you should be busy. I'm going to learn cooking from Aunt Wang, so I won't accompany you."

    Looking at Lin Ke’s leaving figure, Ning Ping shook his head.  I almost couldn't help but have a showdown with Lin Ke just now, but luckily I held back at the last moment.  Everyone has their own secret, and since Lin Ke doesn't tell it, there are naturally reasons why she can't tell it.  He had no reason to force others. Compared with Lin Ke, he was hiding something from Han Yu.  Thinking of this, Ning Ping couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

    In the Lando family's manor, Han Yu was walking slowly in the garden.  To be honest, there is really nothing interesting about this garden that interests Han Yu.  Except flowers and plants, just flowers and plants.  Not even a small animal.  Reaching out to pick an apple from an apple tree planted by the roadside, and wiping it on his clothes, Han Yu walked and ate, and unknowingly came to a pond.

    "I wonder if there are any fish in here?" Han Yu couldn't help but muttered in his heart as he bent down and stared at the water.

    "Wow~" Just as Han Yu was staring at the water, a fish jumped out of the water and rushed towards Han Yu.  Han Yu had quick eyes and quick hands, and he caught the fish in his heart.  Looking at the mouth full of fangs of the struggling fish in his hand, Han Yu thought to himself: "Holy crap, piranha!"

    "Gululu~" There was a sound in the stomach, and Han Yu looked at the piranha in his hand and thought to himself, "Piranha, piranha, your retribution has arrived today. If you fall into my hands, I will avenge those creatures that were eaten by you before.  .Eat you!" Immediately afterwards, Han Yu began to worry about whether it was better to eat it grilled or steamed.
