Chapter 34: Abnormality is a contagious disease

Congratulations, host. During this free activity time, you have obtained the hidden item "Spring Mountain Wind" and unlocked the new character "Bai Zheng." Taking into account the above factors, the system will award you an additional 24 hours of life as a reward.

"Tomorrow, a new task will begin. Please continue to work hard, host!"

Xiao Jin: "..."

24 hours of life couldn't even make up for the damage caused by the "clipping sound" to her in 12 hours.

Fortunately, it was late at night and the effects of the "clipping sound" had already worn off.

Xiao Jin didn't know if the system could sleep or not, but she couldn't sleep anyway. So she came to the study, took advantage of the active thinking at night, and organized her thoughts.

Xiao Jin sat at the desk, opened the lid, and took out an incense pill from the box.

Then she put the incense pill into the incense burner and watched the smoke rise from the lid, lingering among the paper, ink, brush, and inkstone.

Although the fragrance was light and pleasant, she couldn't help but feel a headache when she thought of what Bai Zheng had said at the Yanyu Building.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jin looked at Old Zhang, who was standing next to her, and asked, "Old Zhang, did I save the daughter of Bai Shangshu before?"

At midnight, Old Zhang was already sleepy, and his eyelids were about to close.

But when he heard Xiao Jin's question, he quickly became fully awake and replied, "Yes, Your Highness. There was such a thing, but it was many years ago."

Clearly, the original owner's forgetfulness about important people had deeply ingrained in people's minds. Even if Xiao Jin suddenly asked such a question, Old Zhang did not find it strange.

Xiao Jin closed the lid of the Spring Mountain Wind and casually said to Old Zhang, "Tell me about it."

Although Old Zhang felt a little strange and didn't understand why his master suddenly took an interest in Miss Bai, he still obeyed the order and told the story.

It took a long time to tell the story, and Xiao Jin listened while still looking for the book she had read a few days ago.

By observing Su Tan's reaction, Xiao Jin felt that the poison of "Gu worm" seemed to be a Gu poison that was not known to the public.

But a few days ago when she was reading a book, she found that the book detailed the triple effects of the "Gu worm" poison. Now it seems that this book should have something to offer.

But by the time Old Zhang finished telling the story, Xiao Jin still couldn't find the book she had misplaced.

After hearing the story, Xiao Jin couldn't help but rub her forehead with her hand.

She was both troubled by the love and hate of Bai Zheng and the original owner, and also wondering why such a big book could disappear without a trace.

She was only supposed to stay in the world of the novel for a year, so there was no need to worry too much. However, after visiting Yanyu Building, things became even more complicated.

Xiao Jin thought that what she needed to pay attention to the most at the moment was the original owner's suspicious illness and the person behind the scenes plotting against her, as well as the reason for the collapse of Chu Shao's character.

Recalling Chu Shao's gaze towards the colorful lantern, Xiao Jin stopped rubbing her temples and asked Old Zhang, the steward, a question, "Old Zhang, does the mansion have anyone who can make lanterns?"
