I Love Little Watermelon
Chapter 618 Peculiarity
"System!"
"I am here, host. What are your instructions?" The system's tone was as mechanical as ever.
Yuan Mu Ye directly asked, "Are there any items that can help me go inside and check the situation in the house, and also let us see what's going on?"
"Yes, according to your current situation, host, you can only purchase five minutes of usage time for an item," the system responded.
Hearing this, Yuan Mu Ye felt like ten thousand grass mud horses were galloping through his heart. Although he didn't have much negative emotion value left, he still had over a thousand. With so much negative emotion value, he could only buy five minutes of usage time. Wasn't that too expensive?
"System, how come I'm finding you more and more of a rip-off?" Yuan Mu Ye couldn't help but say.
The system immediately responded, "Host, that's going too far. I know you don't have any negative emotion value right now, so I'm making an exception and letting you buy five minutes of item usage time. Otherwise, you'd have to spend more than ten thousand negative emotion value to buy an item. If you're not satisfied, you can always spend money to buy it."
Hearing this, Yuan Mu Ye was stunned for a moment. It seemed he had wronged the system.
Although it was only five minutes, he figured it should be enough.
Yuan Mu Ye smiled and said to the system, "Is that so? Then I misunderstood you. Five minutes it is, buy it!"
"Hmph, next time if I hear such words again, even if you have negative emotion value, I won't give it to you," the system responded proudly.
Yuan Mu Ye was both amused and helpless. He really couldn't do anything about this system. He couldn't hit it, couldn't scold it, and if he made it angry, he would have to listen to its nagging.
"Alright, I understand."
As soon as he finished speaking, the system deducted all of his remaining negative emotion value, leaving him completely broke.
However, he also received a new item with five minutes of usage time.
The name of the new item still felt strange to Yuan Mu Ye; it was called a "projector."
After all, in his impression, projectors didn't look like this.
After checking the usage method, Yuan Mu Ye turned on the projector.
The projector was about the size of a mobile phone, but it had something like a metal object the size of a red bean on it. It mainly relied on this thing to check the situation.
After Yuan Mu Ye sent it out, he turned on the projector. Soon, a picture appeared in front of them, which was what the little thing had transmitted back.
What surprised Yuan Mu Ye even more was that the picture was actually super high-definition.
If he wore 3D glasses, he would probably feel like he was really there.
From the picture, Yuan Mu Ye saw a man sitting on the sofa, holding a bloody heart in his hands. The heart was still beating, as if it had just been ripped from a living person.
The man stared at the heart, drooling.
Looking at this bloody scene, Yuan Mu Ye felt a little nauseous.
Afterwards, Yuan Mu Ye controlled the little thing to look at the other rooms. Just as Liu Er had said, there were several female corpses.
The female corpses were all nailed to the wall, and without exception, their hearts had been taken away.
He didn't expect this evil ghost's hobby to be eating women's hearts!
Soon, he had a rough overview of the situation in the man's house. Apart from the female corpses, there was nothing else.
There was only this one evil ghost, which Yuan Mu Ye could easily handle, but he didn't do so.
Since there was an evil ghost here, it proved that there might be other evil ghosts. It would be easier if he could lure out and eliminate the other evil ghosts at the same time.
If he only eliminated this evil ghost, it might alert the others.
"Liu Er, apart from seeing him these past few days, have you noticed anyone else who was strange? Or has he been in contact with anyone?"
The people the evil ghost contacted were likely to be evil ghosts as well. Wouldn't it be much easier to start from that point?
Liu Er thought for a moment and said, "These past two days, I've only seen him constantly looking for women. As for other people, there was one who was quite suspicious. He was also a man, but he doesn't live here. I don't know exactly where he lives because they only met briefly."
Even a brief meeting was quite suspicious.
"Now I need you to do me a favor," Yuan Mu Ye said to Liu Er with a serious expression.
Before he could say what the favor was, Liu Er had already guessed it.
"Are you thinking of asking me to seduce that man?" Liu Er asked tentatively.
Yuan Mu Ye was slightly stunned. Sure enough, you don't need to waste words when talking to smart people.
"Yes, it would be best to lure out the other evil ghosts as well." That's what Yuan Mu Ye was thinking. As for whether or not he could successfully lure them out, that would be another matter. After all, there are no absolutes in this world, and he couldn't be 100% sure that he could lure them out.
Liu Er hesitated a bit, because those who could possess living people without being discovered were high-level evil ghosts, and she was no match for high-level evil ghosts at all. Moreover, if she was discovered by the other party, she would definitely not be able to escape.
Seeing that Liu Er didn't speak, Yuan Mu Ye roughly guessed what she was thinking and said, "You don't have to worry, I'll be guarding outside, nothing will happen. If something really happens, just shout for me."
Even so, Liu Er was still a little worried.
However, Yuan Mu Ye had already said so much, and she couldn't refuse even if she wanted to.
"Alright, but you must not leave!" Liu Er said with some unease.
Only after Yuan Mu Ye assured her that he would not leave was she willing to go.
At this point, the projector's usage time was also up.
The system really didn't want to give him even a second more and directly took it back.
Liu Er composed herself, came to the door of the man's house, and then knocked on the door.
The moment the man opened the door, a shallow smile appeared on Liu Er's face, looking very charming.
When the man saw Liu Er, a trace of surprise flashed across his face, and he said in surprise, "Beauty, you are?"
"I'm a new tenant who just moved in. The water is cut off at my place. Can I take a shower at your place? Don't worry, it won't take you too long."
Liu Er looked at the man with anticipation.
Faced with the request of a beauty, how could the man possibly refuse? He nodded and said with a smile, "As long as you don't mind."
After speaking, he invited Liu Er into the house.
As soon as she entered the house, Liu Er smelled a strong bloody smell. She frowned slightly, but didn't show any abnormality.
"I'm really sorry!" Liu Er said with a smile, partly to cover up her nervousness and partly to get closer to the man.
Of course, she couldn't really take a shower, so she wanted to chat with the man first.
