Capítulo 83: Eighty-three. Commission concluded.

Thump thump thump—

Lu Li took steps up the staircase, all the way to the second floor.

At the farthest reach of the oil lamp's light, the ghost's face, which seemed to smile but not quite, appeared again at the edge.

It once again deliberately waited for Lu Li to catch up, just as Lu Li had drawn it into the room.

It watched Lu Li indifferently for a moment, then turned and scuttled away.

Rustle rustle—

This time Lu Li did not choose to immediately follow, he stood at the top of the stairs, pondering slightly.

"Woof!"

The bark drew Lu Li's attention.

Lu Li tilted his head, looking towards the dark corridor from where the sound originated.

A greyish, semi-transparent golden retriever stood on the edge of the light.

"Woof!"

After barking at Lu Li, it turned into the darkness, then looked back at Lu Li.

"Want to lead me somewhere? Lead the way."

The same as luring Lu Li, the result was completely the opposite.
