Genius Daddy in the City Chapter 725 - Two Extra People!

Chapter 725: Two Extra People!

“That’s right!”

Meeting everyone’s gaze, Ye Chen nodded lightly and said, “After the intense battle in the second part of the painting, the wars.h.i.+p was destroyed. Corpses were piled and blood flowed everywhere. I think it must’ve experienced something to turn into a ghost s.h.i.+p.”

“Look!”

Master Yizhen pointed at the third part of the painting and said, “Is this black energy the same as the one we encountered before?”

The black energy that he was pointing at had countless malicious ghosts.

“Yes, it’s exactly the same!”

This time, even the marquis of the Blood Clan, Bruce, and the other western powerhouses were stunned. Thunder G.o.d Thor, took a deep breath in and said, “So the situation is very clear now. This map must be describing the origin of the ghost s.h.i.+p.”

After his reminder, everyone nodded.

Luo Shuiyao said with lingering fear, “It looks like there were indeed evil spirits in the black fog we experienced. No wonder the black fog can devour humans!”

Xiao Yuanjing nodded slightly and said, “The content of the third part should be that the ghost s.h.i.+p is surrounded by black fog. Many living people were trapped inside the ghost s.h.i.+p, and they were all trapped in the secret chamber.”

At this point, his face twitched, and he gulped, “Hmm, why is there a statue in the third picture?”

Someone looked at everyone’s positions and then at the people in the painting. When he realized that it was the same as the painting, he cried out in shock, “I-It seems to be talking about us…”

This time, no one spoke. They all felt that the temperature in the secret chamber seemed to have suddenly dropped by tens of degrees, and a chill gradually entered their hearts.

Even though everyone present was invincible, all of them felt a chill run down their spines.

Could it be that Xiao Buyi really had comprehended the secret of heavens 20 years ago and predicted that they would arrive today?

“No!”

Bai Shaoyu suddenly cried out in alarm, “There’s something wrong with the number of people on the ghost s.h.i.+p. If you count, it seems to be about the same number as us!”

Everyone hurriedly looked at the third part of the painting and counted the people inside the room. Luo Shuiyao started to count them one by one, “One, two…

Forty-six…

Forty-seven…

“Forty-eight…”

Buzz!

The entire room fell into a dead silence. Everyone felt their scalps go numb. Someone murmured, “Why are there 48 people?”

Everyone’s faces turned pale.

Initially, there were 48 of them. Bai Pengfei had died, and so did Xiao Shun, while s.h.i.+ Qianhan was not there. Logically speaking, there should be 45 of them left. How could there be three more people?

Even with the shadow that had initially escaped, there should only be 46 of them!

There were two extra people!

After a long while, someone said weakly, “Could it be that we’re overthinking? Maybe it’s another group of people on this map instead of us?”

“Impossible!”

Xiao Yuanjing shook his head firmly and said, “Look carefully at the position of the people in the painting. It’s exactly the same as ours, and there are only t-two women!”

Following his words, everyone turned to look at Luo Shuiyao and Tong Shuhui!

That was right!

Of the forty people present, there were only two women!

It could no longer be described as a coincidence!

Luo Shuiyao’s voice gradually began to tremble, “Could it be that the old woman who died earlier and the guy who was dragged out of the window were also included?”

After saying that, she regretted it.

It was because the old woman had died before the ghost s.h.i.+p left. At that time, there was no black fog on the ghost s.h.i.+p, and when the man who was dragged out of the window died, everyone was still on the first floor of the ghost s.h.i.+p.

The 48 people on the third part of the painting were all inside the secret chamber.

At this moment, Xiao Yuanjing said again, “We’ve made another discovery. Look!”

Everyone hurriedly looked over and saw Xiao Yuanjing pointing at the two people in the third part of the painting. He said word by word, “Have you guys noticed that these two people are different?”

Even though the two people he was pointing at were wearing clothes, their faces were covered by a thin layer of black fog. The facial features in the fog were distorted, and their eyes were like ghost fire.

Xiao Yuanjing took a deep breath in and reminded them again, “Don’t you think that these two people are similar to the evil spirits in the black fog outside the ghost s.h.i.+p in the painting?”

“That’s right!”

Bai Shaoyu also realized the issue at this moment. Subsequently, he raised his eyes and stared at the crowd warily, “Among all of us here, two are ghosts. There are two evil spirits!”

“What?”

Everyone froze when they heard that. They sized each other up, their eyes filled with vigilance.

“Which two of us are ghosts?”

“Impossible!”

“Could it be that after the ghost s.h.i.+p returned, we did not close the door in time, so there were ghosts crawled in through the fog?”

“…”

At that moment, everyone started discussing in panic.

Xiao Yuanjing lifted his head slowly and looked at Ye Chen and the old man holding the sword. He said coldly, “They’re ghosts!”

Luo Shuiyao immediately said coldly, “Xiao Yuanjing, don’t you dare slander anyone here!”

“That’s right!”

Yuan Qitai, Zhang Wuming, and the rest spoke as well, “Young Master Xiao, even if you had grudges with Mr. Ye in the past, you shouldn’t have slandered him for nothing!”

The elderly man’s expression gradually turned cold, “Young Master Xiao, I don’t think I’ve offended you, have I?”

“I’m slandering you?”

Xiao Yuanjing scoffed and threw the sheepskin map on the ground. He said, “Take a closer look. Aren’t these two ghosts standing exactly in the same positions as Ye Chen and old man?”

Everyone fell silent.

One of the ghosts in the painting just so happened to be standing next to the wall on the east, while the other ghost was standing directly in front of Xiao Buyi’s statue.

Coincidentally, the person leaning against the wall was Ye Chen, and the person facing Xiao Buyi’s sculpture was the old man with the sword.

At the next moment, everyone took a few steps back to be separated from Ye Chen and the old man with the sword. Even Zhang Wuming, the Luo family, the Tang family, and the rest were no exception.

“How is this possible?!”

The elderly man was instantly dumbfounded as he stuttered, “How can I be a ghost? That’s impossible!”

“How could Ye Chen be a ghost?!”

Luo Shuiyao still could not accept it. She tried to stand up for Ye Chen, “We boarded the s.h.i.+p with Ye Chen. He’s clearly human. How could he be a ghost?”

“The truth is right before our eyes, and Xiao Buyi’s prediction wasn’t wrong at all. Don’t tell me that Xiao Buyi had the intention to harm Ye 20 years ago?”

Xiao Yuanjing smiled as if he was mocking Ye Chen. In the end, he fixed his gaze on Ye Chen, “So, you two ghosts have been hiding around us all along. If it weren’t for Xiao Buyi’s extraordinary skills, we would’ve been kept in the dark by your lie!”

Bai Shaoyu’s killing intent was cold, “Ye, what else do you have to say now?”

Under everyone’s gaze, Ye Chen suddenly smiled.

Xiao Yuanjing’s eyes narrowed, “What are you smiling about?”

Ye Chen’s smile turned cold. He locked eyes with them and said in disdain, “Have you finally revealed your true intentions? You guys have really put in a lot of effort to confront me!”
