My daughter has been possessed.

Chapter 161: Twist, and another twist!

Chapter 161: Twist After Twist! (6.2k views)

Lin Siyuan had some experience playing hide-and-seek with Pengpeng.

It was he who told his sister, Lin Siyu, the rules of hide-and-seek; otherwise, Li Jiuhe might not have been able to master those rules later.

He ran up to the second floor in three quick steps and didn't go to the third floor.

After all, the third-floor corridor is full of mirrors, and the combing ghost is very likely still up there. Going up now would be extremely dangerous.

Besides, there was the room where his mother had hanged herself; he really didn't want to go to the third floor unless absolutely necessary.

When his mother was in a state of mental confusion, he persuaded her to go into that room.

Lin Siyuan still vividly remembers the scene of his mother standing on a stool and hanging her neck from that rope.

He had hung the rope in advance, and he had even chosen the location long ago.

Not long after, Lin Siyuan rushed into a bathroom at the end of the second-floor corridor. Without stopping, he opened the window and climbed out again.

He turned around and closed the window again, then clung to the outer edge of the window and moved little by little.

He quickly moved to the corner of the outer wall, exerted a little force, took a step, and stood on a protruding air conditioner unit at the back of the villa.

This is a place he has been thinking about for a long time, a place that Pengpeng would never be able to find.

It cannot be found within the five-minute time limit.

Five minutes had already passed because we needed to search the entire house.

This comes from Lin Siyuan's previous experience playing hide-and-seek, and he is very glad that he has this experience.

However, the scene of Lin Jianmin and Wang Li being skinned alive still sent chills down his spine, and his heart was still trembling.

And what about Grandpa Lin Shouye? I don't know why he did this. Why did he pretend to be the person Pengpeng had transformed into?

Was his real intention to kill his son and daughter-in-law?

Although he didn't know the reason, Lin Siyuan was already feeling a strong sense of crisis.

He believed that if his grandfather had already started doing this, he might be his target as well.

Everything went strange tonight, completely deviating from the plan.

First, they set up a mirror to lure the hair-combing ghost out, but then nothing happened.

Then Pengpeng's appearance time changed, from the second half of the night to the first half of the night, and he immediately started playing hide-and-seek with them without asking for their consent.

Then came the appearance of his grandfather, and Lin Siyuan also noticed a detail: Lin Shouye was not using a cane and was walking lightly.

His mind was a complete mess, and he was totally dazed.

However, there was one good thing: he was confident he could evade this round of hide-and-seek. At that moment, heavy metal rock music came through his headphones, drowning out all the surrounding sounds.

These headphones are of excellent quality; they don't leak sound, and you can't hear anything from the outside world.

He quickly checked the time; the countdown had long since ended, and Pengpeng had been looking for him for a minute.

This location, nestled at the corner of the outer wall and surrounded on three sides, gave Lin Siyuan a strange sense of security.

Two minutes passed quickly.

Lin Siyuan squatted there motionless, his gaze limited to the back of the villa, his field of vision was narrow.

As the night grew dark, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he saw Lin Shouye's figure appear in front of the row of servants' houses by the back wall.

At first, he thought he was seeing things. He rubbed his eyes and looked again. Sure enough, it was his grandfather, Lin Shouye.

Lin Siyuan was certain he wouldn't mistake that hunched figure, but Lin Shouye wasn't using a cane, and he looked rather strange.

From a distance, he couldn't immediately see what was strange about it.

But Lin Shouye was just inside the house and went upstairs a moment ago, how come he's already in the backyard so quickly?

Lin Siyuan was now even more bewildered.

A short while later, he subconsciously checked the time again; four minutes had already passed.

Lin Siyuan was certain that Pengpeng couldn't find him at all, otherwise it wouldn't have taken so long. His anxiety began to ease.

Suddenly he felt an itch on the back of his hand. He looked down and saw an ant crawling on the back of his hand.

He then flicked his finger, sending the ant flying.

clack.

A drop of sticky liquid fell, landing right on the back of my hand where the ants had just crawled. It was icy cold and uncomfortable.

Lin Siyuan looked up and his body trembled violently. He saw Pengpeng hanging upside down on the outer wall, head down, staring straight at him. Its terrifying mouth was split open, and saliva dripped out one by one.

"Hehe, found you! Time to skin you!"

Lin Siyuan couldn't hear what Pengpeng was saying at all because the heavy metal rock music in his ears was too loud.

However, his face turned deathly pale instantly, and he subconsciously glanced at the time.

"It's not over yet!"

The next second, a sharp pain shot through his head; Pengpeng had grabbed his scalp.

Then, with a whoosh...

The intense, stinging pain throughout his body almost made Lin Siyuan faint. He wanted to faint immediately, but he didn't.

His bright red body slumped over, rolled off the air conditioner unit, and crashed heavily onto the first floor.

Even at this moment, he still didn't understand why Pengpeng could find him, even though he was hiding in such a secluded place.

Could it be that the other party searched every corner of the house in such a short time?

Lin Siyuan's consciousness began to gradually fade, but his body was convulsing involuntarily, and blood was flowing freely from his entire body.

He vaguely saw that his grandfather, Lin Shouye, had approached from that direction and was standing not far in front of him, looking at the scene with a blank expression.

No, that's not Lin Shouye's face, but the body is Lin Shouye's.

What exactly happened?

The moment Lin Siyuan's consciousness completely vanished, the person in front of him turned and left, walking into the house.

Pengpeng, who was originally clutching a bloody human skin, turned and disappeared without a trace after seeing this person approach.

Forget about playing hide-and-seek with this person; he actually seemed quite afraid of them.

Not long after, Lin Shouye walked into the living room through the front door, glancing at the two skinned corpses on the ground that were no longer moving, as if he were looking at two people who had nothing to do with him.

He raised his head expressionlessly and then walked towards the stairwell.

He went up the stairs to the second floor, stood there, looked up at the third floor and shouted, "Jianguo, stop hiding, come out!"

He then walked to Lin Siyu's room on the second floor and knocked on the door: "Siyu, come out too."

Li Jiuhe, Ma Li, and Lin Jianguo on the third floor all heard Lin Shouye's shouts.

Lin Jianguo was startled and hurriedly said, "It's my dad, is he—is he—alright?"

"No, he's in trouble. He's the one in the most trouble." Li Jiuhe said, "Let's go, we can go out now. You'll see something even more explosive later."

Lin Jianguo looked completely bewildered, shrinking back and not daring to go out: "Then—where's the—hair-combing ghost outside?"

Li Jiuhe pointed to Ma Li's hair.

By this time, Ma Li had already cut her beautiful hair short, but she looked somewhat sullen.

"The hair-combing ghost no longer has the conditions to appear, so it disappeared just now."

Li Jiuhe opened the door and went out first.

The others followed him out of the room, while Yangyang remained fast asleep on the bed, the tape that had been made of black ants on his body now completely gone.

The hanged ghost Zhou Wenhui in the house will not harm him, because this child has nothing to do with the deaths of anyone else.

Most importantly, Zhou Wenhui's revenge has been achieved; Lin Siyuan, who killed her, is now dead outside the building.

When the group arrived at the third-floor corridor, they saw that although there were mirrors everywhere, they did not see the combing ghost near the mirrors.

After bypassing the mirrors, Li Jiuhe first went down the stairs to the second floor, where he saw Lin Shouye standing in front of Lin Siyu's room.

At this moment, Lin Shouye looked extremely strange. From the back, he was still himself, but he was a head taller than before. He was a head taller because he had draped Yin Nan's head, along with his skin, which had been soaking in the blood vat, over himself like a cloak. Yin Nan's head was placed on top of Lin Shouye's own head.

That is, Lin Shouye's head is above Yin Nan's head, the two heads are superimposed, one on top of the other, while Yin Nan's human skin is draped over Lin Shouye's back and sides.

Lin Shouye turned around and looked.

This scene terrified both Ma Li and Lin Jianguo. Lin Jianguo even sat down on the ground with a thud, his face ashen.

At this moment, Yin Nan's head on Lin Shouye's head had its eyes closed, resembling a corpse.

Lin Shouye opened his eyes, his face was normal, and his head was partially connected to Yin Nan's head above him, which was extremely strange.

Even part of Yin Nan's human skin had already merged with Lin Shouye's body.

No one spoke; they simply stared in horror at this bizarre and absurd scene.

Lin Siyu's room door opened, and upon seeing Lin Shouye's appearance, and then seeing that Yin Nan, whom she had been longing for, had become like this, she screamed, breaking the silence.

"Yin Nan————"

Her legs went weak, and she sat down on the ground. Terrified, she braced herself with her hands and backed away from the house several times.

"It was you, Grandpa, it was you—who killed him?!"

Lin Shouye smiled and slowly said, "You think I don't know about your relationship? But what you don't know is that you're his niece! You should call him uncle, hehe, your relationship—is actually very close."

"Ah!" Lin Siyu was completely stunned.

"He is my child with another woman outside," Lin Shouye continued. "My lifespan in this cycle is nearing its end, so I must find a close relative to extend it. Although you are all my life," he said, "his constitution is the best, and his vitality is the strongest. After I completely merge with him, not only will my lifespan be extended, but I can also rejuvenate."

Lin Jianguo finally realized: "So you completely disregarded the lives of your other children, letting them kill each other, and now these corpses are just a convenient way for you to reap the benefits?"

Lin Shouye simply smiled, neither confirming nor denying.

After a moment, he looked at Li Jiuhe with some surprise in his voice: "I have great admiration for these two detectives. I wonder how you managed to turn the tables on your unfilial descendants?"

Looking at Lin Shouye's appearance, Ma Li said with disgust, "Even tigers don't eat their cubs, this old man is too ruthless! I don't want to talk to him, Brother Li, you do it."

Lin Shouye frowned, a surge of anger rising in his chest, but he held back and turned his gaze to Li Jiuhe.

Li Jiuhe then spoke: "Actually, it's very simple. We just need to understand all the rules of the ghosts' actions beforehand and then use them. For example, I had my partner, Ma Li, keep her hair long initially to deliberately lure the 'Hair-Combing Ghost' out, then change it to short hair. The condition disappeared, and the 'Hair-Combing Ghost' had no target, so it quickly left. The people on the second floor thought their plan had succeeded. Then the dead little boy, Pengpeng, appeared—"

"Why did Pengpeng appear ahead of schedule?" Lin Shouye asked.

"Because we played hide-and-seek before, and he couldn't find me, so I asked him a question."

"What's the problem?"

"Do you want revenge?" Li Jiuhe asked, enunciating each word clearly. "He answered me with one word—Yes!"

Everyone was taken aback, but Lin Shouye reacted quickly: "By asking a question, you're actually stating your request?"

"There's no rule against doing this." Li Jiuhe spread his hands. "According to his rules about ghosts, he must answer my questions truthfully. Since he has already agreed to my request by answering me, he will naturally do as I say."

"So Pengpeng is showing up early tonight? Great, very good." Lin Shouye said expressionlessly, "But why did my second son and his wife, and my grandson Lin Siyuan, all fail at hide-and-seek?"

"Because my partner keeps some pets, and these pets are very obedient and have some special abilities." Li Jiuhe winked at Ma Li.

Ma Li nodded slightly, and almost the next second, footsteps came from the third-floor staircase.

Not long after, another Lin Shouye slowly walked down from upstairs. It was the same Lin Shouye who had appeared before Lin Jianmin and his wife without saying a word.

The others looked at the second Lin Shouye in surprise.

Right before their eyes, Lin Shouye's body quickly disintegrated, transforming into swarms of black ants that burrowed under Ma Li's skirt.

Li Jiuhe continued, "As for how Lin Siyuan was found by Pengpeng, it was because these little pets tipped him off."

Lin Shouye clapped his hands: "I didn't expect that you two detectives were also proficient in a strange method comparable to my immortality technique! I underestimated you."

"No, the fact that you were able to merge with Yin Nan beforehand clearly indicates that you sensed something was wrong and made preparations. Now that you dare to appear directly in front of us, you are obviously not afraid of us, and you should also no longer be afraid of those three fierce ghosts."

Looking at him like this, Li Jiuhe exclaimed in surprise, "You didn't tell your descendants about this method of fusion, did you? So what's the name for your current appearance?"

Lin Shouye looked at him coldly and replied, "Skinning, using the secret method of longevity as a guide, allows one to merge with their closest descendant through this method, forming a half-human, half-ghost state, fearless of evil people and fierce ghosts. After forty-nine days, the skinning will merge, extending lifespan and granting rebirth."

"Holy crap, what kind of haunted house is this? Disgusting sequence objects, it keeps pushing my limits!" Ma Li shuddered and whispered.

Lin Jianguo and Lin Siyu, who were inside the house, stared in horror at Lin Shouye, whom they no longer recognized. Their hearts were filled with turbulent waves of shock, and they were both speechless with astonishment.

Li Jiuhe's expression didn't change much. His gaze slowly moved up from Lin Shouye's face and then settled on Yin Nan's head, which had its eyes closed and its face was pale.

"Are you sure you'll be reborn, and not him?"

As he uttered those words, Li Jiuhe pointed to Yin Nan's head above Lin Shouye's head.

Lin Shouye was taken aback. Just as he was about to ask why he had said such a thing, a sudden, intense pain swept through his entire body.

Lin Shouye couldn't help but let out a scream, and a horrifying scene unfolded!

He remained in a state of agony after his scream, then his eyes slowly closed. At the same moment, Yin Nan's head, which had already merged with his head by a quarter, twitched. The eyes on that face, which had been dead for a long time and had long since lost all life, slowly opened.

At this moment, Yin Nan mysteriously revived right under everyone's noses!

Lin Shouye, who had been so confident of victory just moments before, suddenly fell silent, as if he had become a dead man, or more accurately, a flesh puppet attached to Yin Nan.

Lin Jianguo and Lin Siyu, who had just looked terrified, were completely stunned when they saw this scene.

The two sat on the ground, stunned and overwhelmed with shock, their bodies trembling.

"You—you—you're not dead?!" It took Lin Siyu a long time to squeeze out a few words.

Yin Nan glanced back at her without saying anything, then looked at Li Jiuhe.

His lips were open, and there was a lot of saliva between his upper and lower lips, indicating that he had not spoken for a long time.

Then, he slowly uttered a sentence to Li Jiuhe: "No one else discovered my plan, so how did you know?"

Li Jiuhe did not answer him directly, but said, "Before I answer you, could you tell me what your method of achieving immortality is? I believe not only I am curious, but everyone else here is also very curious."

It's no longer just "curiosity." Lin Jianguo, Lin Siyu, and the others felt utterly terrified, as if they were in a dream, and everything in front of them seemed unreal.

Yin Nan sneered, raised Lin Shouye's arms as if they were his own, and swung them twice, seemingly getting used to the body. He then paced back and forth a few times.

"Alright, let's satisfy your curiosity first. Lin Shouye thought he could keep me in the dark, but little did he know that I had already investigated him thoroughly. From the moment he pretended to cooperate with me and signed the agreement to use my body as a test subject, he had already become part of my plan."

"You know he's your father, so you're using a scheme against him, employing another longevity technique you know, to extend your lifespan?" Li Jiuhe asked. "So your current method is a kind of—reverse skinning technique?"

"It's just a temporary half-human, half-ghost form of existence," Yin Nan sneered. "I deliberately let him find me; I've been preparing for this day for a long time. This old bastard killed my mother when I was young and tried to kill me too. If my mother hadn't risked her life to hide me and gave me the foundation of the secret to immortality, I would have died long ago. From then on, I searched for the origin of the secret to immortality, constantly improving it through experimentation, all so that today I could make him pay for his blood debt!"

At this point, Yin Nan laughed smugly: "I've improved this skin-coating potion experiment many times, unlike the ordinary longevity potion refining process. He would never have imagined that as long as there is a life form larger than an insect in the skin-coating potion, and that life form is still inside my body, I will not die, and will even reverse the main body of the skin-coating. At that time, whoever has the strongest vitality will be in control and completely become the main body of the life form after the skin is coated."

"So before I cooperated with him, I had intentionally eaten a lot of raw food and contracted toxoplasmosis in my brain. In fact, when he soaked me in the drug solution, there was more than one life in the solution, even though he had dissected my entire body, leaving only my head and skin. Because in the solution, besides him, there was also the toxoplasmosis in my brain. So I survived, and compared to him, my vitality was obviously much stronger, so I inevitably became the main body after the skin was overlaid! And because of my intentional concealment, this old man didn't notice until just now."

Yin Nan spoke eloquently and confidently.

As he explained all this, his head visibly merged with Lin Shouye's head below, making it look extremely bizarre.

Yin Nan then stopped pacing and looked at Li Jiuhe: "So, how did you find out about me?"

"Through that bracelet."

Li Jiuhe glanced at Lin Siyu, who was sitting on the floor in fright by the door of the room.

"Lin Siyu kept wearing this bracelet. She said you had one too, and the two bracelets could sense each other within a certain range. However, she forgot to mention one function. I had seen this kind of bracelet before and knew it was similar to a walkie-talkie, allowing communication within a limited distance. So, after you disappeared, you were actually keeping in touch with her. Although you didn't tell her you were in the chef's room, you were teaching her what to do through the bracelet, such as how to avoid our questioning and how to create conflict between us and her family."

At this point, everyone's attention shifted to Lin Siyu's right hand, and they discovered that she had indeed been holding that black bracelet all along.

Li Jiuhe said, "Lin Siyu told me that she called the police, but it was actually Lin Jianguo's friend who called the police. At that time, I began to suspect her. However, she seemed very naive, not like a scheming person, so I connected her to the bracelet that could make calls."

He paused, then continued, "After Lin Siyu met you, you used some tricks to make her, who was completely unaware but experiencing her first love, fall head over heels for you. Plus, the people she knew in her family had all changed recently, which terrified her. So, in this family now, she only trusts you. How could someone who was killed by Lin Shouye and soaked in a vat of blood possibly be talking to Lin Siyu? Therefore, although I didn't know how you did it at the time, I suspect you're not dead at all."

"You sneaked into the maid's room? Otherwise, how would you know I was soaking in a vat of blood?" Yin Nan questioned.

"I guess so," Li Jiuhe nodded. "Luckily, no one saw it at the time."

"Very good." Yin Nan sneered again. "Thank you, you have answered the only question in my mind. Now—let's set off with Lin Shouye and his children."

99

As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful and sinister aura emanated from his body, and his deformed body twisted rapidly, about to pounce on Li Jiuhe.

"Don't rush." ​​Li Jiuhe didn't back down, but suddenly spoke up: "You just said that there can't be more than two lives in the medicinal liquid, otherwise whoever has the stronger life force will be the main life form after the skin is applied, right?"

Yin Nan, who was approaching, paused and looked at him coldly: "That's right."

Li Jiuhe laughed: "Then you must have lost too. You and Lin Shouye both lost when you were arguing over who was the main body of the overlay."

"We lost! To whom?" Yin Nan asked, frowning.

Li Jiuhe smiled and pointed to Ma Li beside him: "I lost to my partner."
