Reborn 73 years later, he takes his mother-in-law hunting in the mountains.

Chapter 728 Another Ghostly Encounter

Shi Mengyi was so frightened that she grabbed a wine bottle and was about to smash it against the window, but Lu Yao stopped her.

"Team Leader Shi, are you seeing things?"

Shi Mengyi looked again, but there was no one outside.

"No, no, I saw it clearly. Xiao Lu, someone must be playing tricks. Why don't you come out with me and take a look?"

"Okay, if there's a ghost, I'll shoot him dead."

Lu Yao chuckled inwardly, but held back, and led Shi Mengyi out.

Although Shi Mengyi was quite bold, she still couldn't help but grab Lu Yao's hand.

When I asked the staff, they said that the window overlooks the backyard and that I could get there through the back door of the kitchen.

So the two of them walked out.

"Xiao Lu, take out your gun, load it, and shoot if there's a ghost."

"What ghost? Didn't you say you didn't believe in ghosts?"

Shi Mengyi said a little shyly:

"Isn't this just in case? Nothing in this world is absolute."

At this point, her beliefs began to waver.

Lu Yao took out his Mauser pistol and chambered a round.

The two arrived at the backyard.

There was a lot of firewood and some coal from Hegang piled up in the backyard.

A wooden gate facing the street was half-open.

Apart from the hotel staff, almost no one walks through here.

Lu Yao laughed and said, "Look, there's no one here."

Shi Mengyi also breathed a sigh of relief.

However, I was still a little disappointed.

I clearly saw He Kui just now.

Lu Yao pulled her to walk back, but suddenly Shi Mengyi screamed and grabbed Lu Yao's arm holding the gun, pulling him into her arms with all her might, her legs almost straddling the gun.

"What's wrong, sis? You're scaring me half to death!"

Lu Yao was startled by her; he hated women who screamed themselves hoarse at the slightest provocation.

"No...the shoes, those shoes!"

Shi Mengyi pointed to the area under the windowsill, where a pair of shoes were neatly arranged on the ground.

Liberation cotton-padded shoes.

There were also some bloodstains on the shoes.

Lu Yao didn't think anything of it, but Shi Mengyi had something to hide.

She killed Liang Chunlin that day, stole the shoes that He Kui was drying on the windowsill and framed him. Now that He Kui is dead and coming after her, how could she not be afraid if those shoes reappeared?

Lu Yao's hands could feel that her legs were trembling.

He quickly pulled his hand away, put his arm around her waist, and walked over.

He kicked the shoes with his foot.

The shoe was turned inside out, revealing a complete set of bloody footprints on the sole.

Lu Yao said nonchalantly, "It's just a pair of shoes, they're dirty, Team Leader Shi, don't worry."

"Master, you must protect me!"

Lu Yao sensed something was off about what was being said and looked down at Shi Mengyi's face, which was pressed tightly against his shoulder.

His face was pale, and his eyes were filled with fear. He was no longer the arrogant Team Leader Shi he always was.

"Are you Shi Mengyi?"

Lu Yao asked deliberately.

"I...I'm Xiaojian...Master, it was Mengyi who caused this trouble, don't let ghosts come after me..."

Lu Yao knew that Shi Mengyi's subconscious vulnerability had been revealed by the sudden shock and stimulation.

Shi Mengyi went into hiding, and Xiao Jian had to face reality.

Lu Yao reached out and hugged her:

"Don't be afraid, little rascal. Do you recognize these shoes?"

"I know it; it's the one Mengyi used to stage a fake scene."

"Okay, let's go inside. Tell a friend of mine about this."

"Who is it?"

"You'll find out when you go in."

Lu Yao pulled Shi Mengyi into the house.

Shi Mengyi kept turning back to look at the pair of shoes on the ground.

He looked extremely nervous, his hands squeezing Lu Yao's hands until they turned white.

Upon entering the restaurant and passing the kitchen, the chef slammed a large ladle down with a loud "clang, clang!" to signal a waiter to bring the dish over, startling Shi Mengyi.

"Oh dear, what happened just now?"

His eyes became clear.

Lu Yao thought to himself, "This is bad."

He asked, "What's wrong, you little rascal?"

"I'm not Xiao Jian... Hey, Xiao Lu, you've met Xiao Jian before? Do you know who Xiao Jian is?"

Shi Mengyi is back.

She's been under a lot of stress lately, so her two personalities are switching frequently.

They are easily changed when they encounter stimulation.

Previously, this was an exclusive interview with Kan Ge and behind-the-scenes footage of the creation of "Reborn 73 Years Later, Taking My Mother-in-Law Hunting in the Mountains," available only once in a long while. Xiao Jian will only appear once in a long while.

And it's mostly at night.

When Xiao Jian appeared, it was Liang Chunlin's spring; otherwise, Shi Mengyi wouldn't even let him touch her.

However, the stimulation was minimal at that time, and Liang Chunlin always thought that Shi Mengyi was just occasionally being coquettish and cheeky, and had no idea that there was such a thing as multiple personalities.

After last night's intense stimulation, Shi Mengyi's willpower was starting to crumble and she was losing control of her emotions.

Lu Yao knew that she had changed back and would no longer explain the details of the murder.

He then led her into the private room.

Shi Mengyi was a little startled and asked Lu Yao:

What did I just say to you?

"I didn't say anything, I was just scared when I saw those shoes."

"Didn't you say anything else? Why do you call me 'Little Scoundrel'?"

"You gave way, how could you forget?"

Lu Yao has a strong mental fortitude and is also a seasoned liar; his facial expressions are not exaggerated at all.

Shi Mengyi nodded, inwardly cursing herself for being careless.

How could a pair of shoes scare me into backing down?

But... what's going on here?

When I came back, I could barely eat anything.

Wang Kun, who had been tracking Lu Yao, received no signal and had to move on to the next plan.

Lu Yao and Shi Mengyi drank some more alcohol in the private room.

"What?"

"Actually, I have a younger sister... nicknamed Xiao Jian. It's because when Mom was little, she often called her Xiao Jianren, so she started to think of herself as Xiao Jian."

She admitted it herself, and Lu Yao didn't dare interrupt, afraid that she wouldn't say it.

They stared intently at her.

Shi Mengyi hesitated for a moment, then said:

"My sister seems to know everything about me, but I don't know much about her. The moment she appears, I become disoriented; I can't even remember what she did or said... Can you tell me what Xiao Jian looks like?"

If it were anyone else, they would definitely think Shi Mengyi is crazy.

However, Lu Yao didn't think so.

He understands medicine and has studied psychology.

I have been in contact with patients who have multiple personality disorder.

It's clear that Shi Mengyi doesn't know Xiao Jian very well.

It's because when she was at her most vulnerable, she blocked out her own consciousness and brought out her primal personality.

In other words, Shi Mengyi's current personality is a figment of imagination.

She was so strong that she even believed it herself.

In fact, when faced with problems that he can't solve, the cowardly personality he had as a child is exposed.

This imagined strong personality, however, dares not face and accept its own weakness.

So she automatically blocked out everything that was actually her true personality.

Xiao Jian, on the contrary, dared to face the facts, while Shi Mengyi, in order to show that she was not cowardly, was so hypocritical that she lost her senses.

Diagnosis complete!

This is how Lu Yao understood it.

I feel right.

However, Shi Mengyi is a scheming, calculating, and worldly woman from the moment she appears.

So naturally she won't tell you what to say.

Lu Yao didn't ask any more questions.

I wonder if Meiping has any other way to keep Xiaojian around longer.

If she can fully confess and recount the crime, and if there are other witnesses, then she can be convicted.

Once her psychological defenses are completely breached, the fictional Shi Mengyi will be gone forever.

Xiao Jian will confess.

but……

A sudden pang of reluctance arose in Lu Yao's heart.

Because when Xiao Jian appeared, I felt that she was really pitiful.

Her timid and submissive manner, seeking protection, was just like that of a teenage girl.

Lu Yao suddenly had the urge to give up.

But seeing Shi Mengyi regain her haughty demeanor, he felt that keeping her around would only be a disaster.

This woman can be even more ruthless than her brother.

After the two finished eating, Shi Mengyi called the waiter:

"Here, please pay the bill for me."

The waiter came over with a smile: "No need, comrade. The gentleman who came in with you earlier, carrying the bag, has already paid."

Shi Mengyi's expression changed: "Who came with us? What's his name?"

He said his name was... Liang Chunlin!
