"Then what happened last night? What did you find?" Uncle Li decided to strike while the iron is hot,
and he further pressed the cleaner.
"Nothing." The cleaner continued to answer, "I have been here for a while, but there has been no
progress in investigating the yard. I am a little anxious. I heard from other security guards that there
was a ghost accident in the ghost yard last year, so I smartly used the cleaning task as an excuse and
played a ghost show to see if I can catch some information from it. But I didn't expect you to find out... I
have not done anything else."
That explained it. Zac looked at Albert and uncle Li. Obviously, the two of them didn't expect this result
either. He guessed that they just felt that the cleaner's behavior was a little suspicious, afraid of causing
further panic in the Rong Mansion, so they chose to secretly interrogate him in the secret room. As a
result, no one expected that Willi would be involved in it, and the truth of the ghost was indeed a farce
directed by the cleaner.
"Daddy, it seems that we have to investigate all the servants in the mansion. Otherwise, he would make
a fuss in the ghost yard,"
Zac said in a low voice.
Albert nodded and left it to uncle Li.
After that, Zac followed Albert out of the secret room, leaving uncle Li to deal with the following things.
After dinner, Zac took a walk with Essie in the garden. The moon in the sky was very round, and the
bright moonlight shone through the sparse branches on both sides of the road, making the ground
more colorful.
Leaning her head on Zac's shoulder comfortably, Essie and Zac sat on the small bench in the garden.
She acted like a spoiled child to Zac and began to count the stars in the sky.
Suddenly, a noise came from the security room.
The noise interrupted Essie from counting the stars. She looked at Zac, who was still sleeping. She
moved her head away from Zac's shoulder and gently pushed him. "Zac, wake up! Something seems
to have happened over there. Shall we go and have a look?"
Zac, who had just been woken up from his sleep, obviously didn't react at once. He hugged his wife
and thought for a while. Then his conscious came back to Essie. It turned out that they were still in the
garden. There was such a loud voice from the other end of the line. Something must have happened.
She held Essie's hand and followed the security guard to the security room.
Many security guards had already gathered in the security room. When they saw Zac and others
coming, the surrounding security guards made way for him.
On the floor in the middle of the house, there was a security guard who was a little unfamiliar. It should
be a new comer. Zac, who had entered the security room, made the first judgment.
"What happened?" Zac looked at the captain of security guards and asked.
"The patrol guard found him when he passed by the ghost yard. He was lying not far from the corner of
the wall," the captain of security guards reported briefly.
Ghost yard again? Zac frowned. The cleaner who was haunted last night proved to be a fake one. Was
there something wrong with this security guard? Was he another rat sent by Willi to spy?
What a stupid trick? Zac looked at the security guard on the ground in confusion, only to find that he
had no signs of waking up. The captain of security guards had tried every means to shake him, slap
him and spray water, but he was still unable to wake him up from his coma.
At this time, a security guard informed the Butler, uncle Li. Uncle Li rushed over from a distance.
"Take him out first,"
said Zac in a low voice.
On the second morning, the captain of security guard came to report the situation to Albert. The
unconscious security guard was still in a coma. Sometimes he woke up and shouted hysterically. Until
he came, the security guard was still in a daze.
Essie looked at Zac. His eyes were as dark as an ancient well.
After breakfast, Zac went to the company to deal with his business, so Essie made an appointment with
Eva to go shopping together. She accompanied Eva to Percy's apartment and happened to see that
two of them were watching TV series.
"Good morning, auntie Percy and uncle Jonson." After greeting, she said goodbye to Percy and Jonson
and left with Eva. They didn't stay in Percy's apartment for a long time and began to rush to the nearby
shopping mall with security guards.
Since the car accident two days ago, Jim had arranged several security guards to follow Eva twenty-
four hours a day, so the two of them were not particularly worried about safety. "This dress is so
beautiful. It must be suitable for our little princess. Come and have a look." Essie asked Eva to come
over and showed her the dress.
It was a beautiful little princess dress. The two of them bought it and went to other shops around the
area to see some adult's clothes. When they were trying on the dress, Essie mentioned what had
happened in the Rong family in the past two nights. "Eva, I'm telling you, there are already two servants
in the yard of the Rong family who were frightened."
Speaking of these scenes, Essie looked interested and excited. Just as she thought, Eva had heard
about the yard from Jim. The two little women whispered together. Eva even egged on Essie not to ask
for Hanson's Rune to wear it.
In the evening, as soon as Essie returned to the Rong Mansion, she heard several security guards
discussing together. It was said that just a moment ago, another security guard was in a coma. That
security guard was the first one to see the unconscious security guard yesterday. It was he who moved
him to an open space and cried for help. The more security guards said, the more nervous they
became. Hearing this, Essie felt scared and quickly ran back to her residence.
When she passed the hall, Essie saw uncle Li and Albert talking. She had known from the servants that
Zac hadn't come back yet. She was afraid of going back to the room alone. She walked towards the
hall and felt that it would be safer to stay with Albert and others.
Uncle Li was talking to Albert about the coma of the new security guard. Now the servants were all
trembling with fear and terror. It seemed that they needed a new religious ritual to comfort them. Seeing
that Essie was coming, they didn't stop talking and continued to discuss some details.
After dinner, accompanied by Zac, Essie walked towards the ghost yard. From afar, she saw a peach
wood table on an open space near the ghost yard. The old butler, uncle Li, dressed in Taoist costume,
was muttering beside the table, as if he was doing something.
It was not until she got closer that Essie saw uncle Li's clothes. He was wearing a square hat with eight
diagrams on it, a matched golden and silver eight diagrams suit, a pair of bright yellow eight diagrams
shoes, and a Heaven and Earth Bag with runes on his back. He looked like an expert in this field. If she
did not know uncle Li, she would think that he was an elder hired by the family to perform this ritual.
Uncle Li held the Eight Diagrams mirror in his left hand and a peach wood sword in his right hand. He
grabbed a yellow paper and put it on the sword. Then he lit the candle on the table and muttered.
Three fruits and cakes were placed on the long square wooden table. In the middle of the table, there
were three green incenses inserted into the bronze censer. There was a candle on both sides of the
table, and behind the table was a small bucket of black dog blood.
He drew several circles in the shape of eight diagrams and unknown patterns in the air with the yellow
paper burning. Then he took a sip of wine from the wine gourd tied beside him and sprayed it out
towards the yellow paper on the tip of the sword. With a bang, a blazing flame appeared in the air.
Uncle Li took out a stack of yellow paper from the Heaven and Earth Bag behind him and grabbed it in
his hand. He lit the candlelight on the right, opened his mouth and chanted a few curses in silence
before throwing it towards the front of the square table. In the end, he picked up a piece of paper with
the peach wood sword and lit it on the candle. This time, a rune was pasted on it.
When the runes were about to burn out, he drew a circle with his peach wood sword and read, "Hurry
like a mandate." Then he grabbed the black dog blood on the square table and splashed it into the air.
The ritual had come to an end.
Seeing that uncle Li led everyone to leave, Essie asked the security guard to help remove the things on
the square table. She held Zac's hand tightly. Obviously, she was afraid of the unknown.
Noticing the fear of Essie, Zac put his arm around her shoulder and the two returned to their residence,
holding each other. "Do you think uncle Li's ritual will work? That ghost should not come out again.
Right?"
"It might work. Every time something happens, it's him who performed the ritual. Indeed, every time he
did the ritual, it's under control immediately." Leaning against the bed, Zac was full of confidence. Essie
walked over and slowly lay down beside him. The two of them gently hugged each other.
"Icy guy, can't he drive that ghost away? Why did you keep her here?"
"The Rong Mansion is a good place with good water. I guess she is reluctant to leave," said Zac
jokingly.
"Honey, you have read a lot of spiritual novels. There is no ghost in this world."
"Is there an alien locked in your yard?" Essie stuck out her tongue.
"You have such a rich imagination. It's a pity that you don't write novels." Zac smiled.
"It is not my fault. You have an unsolved mystery here." Essie curled her lips.
On the second day, good news came from the security department. The unconscious security guard
had woken up. Then, someone came back and reported that the other security guard was also
completely awake. The uneasiness and panic shrouded in the Rong Mansion were finally swept
away.
