Chapter 8: A Pony Pulling a Carriage

"Ah! That's great! I'll collect the other body parts first, and then I'll go to the attic to see if there are any suitable weapons. That crazy woman actually wants to attack me, I must get rid of her!" Li Pai bluffed earnestly.

Go to the attic? Are you kidding!

After briefly understanding the situation, Li Pai knew that the attic was a very scary place. This female ghost had no good intentions and wanted to lure him up there? Only a fool would go!

Anyway, he already knew the distribution of Mrs. Elora's body parts. Finding them should be quick, and he could reach 50% exploration progress without going to the first floor.

"That's great!" The female ghost said in an icy tone, making promises to repay him after helping her resurrect.

Li Pai laughed inwardly. Help you resurrect? Once I reach the exploration progress, I'm running away! You can deceive anyone else.

At that moment, the female ghost slowly moved from behind Li Pai to in front of him. Li Pai finally had a close-up view of her face. Their eyes met, and Li Pai felt as if his heart had been pierced by countless ice cones.

Terrifying! Too terrifying! Her face was deathly pale, covered in dark red bloodshot lines, and her eyes had no whites, completely filled with black. Her lips were slightly parted, like an abyss sucking away all life around her.

Li Pai felt like he was about to wet himself. Forget Biohazard 78, Ju-On, or The Conjuring; they couldn't even compare to one thousandth of the horror this female ghost exuded.

"This is just a game! Stay calm!" Li Pai desperately reminded himself. But the intense visual impact and fear still made his legs tremble involuntarily.

"Hehehe~ Scared, aren't you? Well, I won't hinder you. Good luck~" With a gust of cold wind, the female ghost floated to the end of the corridor. The oil lamp in Li Pai's hand was blown out.

"She’s gone..."

In the darkness without the oil lamp's light, Li Pai could only faintly see a white figure floating into the distance. His chest compass also quieted down, leaving only a slight vibration. She should be gone. The oppressive feeling brought by the female ghost was too strong, and Li Pai didn't want to stay for a moment longer.

Taking advantage of the faint moonlight, Li Pai felt his way to the door next to him. It had the same style of doorknob, just as icy as the last one. He opened the door and carefully stepped inside.

After closing the door, Li Pai leaned against it and let out a breath. After a few breaths, his legs finally stopped trembling. He used a flint to light the oil lamp, and the flickering flame brought him a sense of warmth. He began to survey the room.

Apart from an extra row of bookshelves, this room had a layout very similar to the previous guest room. It seemed to be another guest room. The room was quiet, and Li Pai's chest compass didn't show any reaction, indicating there didn't seem to be any danger.

Out of caution, Li Pai held the lamp and searched the places where someone could hide. There was nothing in the wardrobe, and under the bed, there was only dust.

"Should be safe for now," Li Pai felt a bit relieved and began to search the room carefully.

"The female ghost said there's a leg in this room. Where could it be hidden?"

Li Pai placed the oil lamp on the table and began to feel around. The room wasn't big, and there didn't seem to be any hidden compartments. Finding a leg should be straightforward.

"Here it is!" Li Pai looked up and found a small section of toes protruding from the top of the bookshelf. He climbed onto a stool and reached out to feel it. The skin was smooth and delicate. It was indeed a leg.

"Obtained 'Mrs. Elora's Left Leg'" "Exploration Progress: 25%" The exploration progress increased by 5%, getting closer to the target.

Li Pai struggled to bring the leg down from the top of the bookshelf. "This leg... It's so long!" Li Pai couldn't help but exclaim. This fair left leg was cut from the middle of the thigh, and even vertically placed, it reached Li Pai's waist. It was a long leg! Not only was it long, but its shape was also perfectly proportioned, with round and smooth thighs and slender calves. Each toe looked like a work of art. Although it looked a bit strange as a single leg, Li Pai thought that this leg could keep him entertained for a whole year. If it had some black stockings or white stockings, it would be even better.

"What am I thinking?!" Li Pai rubbed his head, trying to clear his mind. Was it time to play with the leg? No, he had to stay focused.

"According to the female ghost, this floor seems to have only this leg and the brain we found earlier. But she only mentioned the distribution of Mrs. Elora's body. Items like the Witcher's Diary that can increase exploration progress must be found on our own."

Li Pai continued searching the room, fearing he might miss any useful details. Unfortunately, there were no other items that could increase exploration progress in this room. Pushing aside a bookshelf, Li Pai saw familiar words on the wall behind it.

"Don't go to the attic..."

"Stay away from that door..."

It was about the attic again! Looking at the words on the wall, Li Pai became even more convinced that the attic must be a terrifying place. His curiosity was piqued, but he quickly scolded himself, realizing that curiosity might get him killed.

"Curiosity killed the cat. I shouldn't even think about going to that haunted attic." After the close encounter with the female ghost, Li Pai felt a huge impact on his mind. There must be something even scarier in the attic. He definitely shouldn't go there!

After exploring the room, Li Pai extracted all of Mrs. Elora's body parts in his mental space—a head, a right arm, and a left leg. He only needed to find the torso, the left arm, and the right leg to complete Mrs. Elora's body.

"Why does this feel like watching 'Detective Dee' all over again..." Li Pai recalled his childhood trauma. However, Mrs. Elora's body parts were much more captivating than those mummies. Just her face was enough to captivate anyone's soul. Her slender, fair fingers were surely delightful to hold, and her long legs were quite impressive.

"I must stay calm! Don't be swayed by beauty! Leaving this haunted place is the most important thing!" Li Pai reminded himself to maintain his mental health. Staying here for too long could drive anyone insane.

"Calm down, let's analyze the situation carefully." Li Pai patted his face, driving away all the distracting thoughts in his mind.
