I don't know if it has been consecrated, but Yu Xing came to the garden for this reason.

The special smell he smelled before entering the gate was the smell of decay.

Since he had successfully found the target, he and Martha dug up the body under the flowers together.

He mainly used a cane to throw, while Martha cheered on the side.

You are excavating the bones in the garden, stamina -15.

Stamina can be fully restored by resting and sleeping, so Yu Xing and Martha, who were full of stamina in the early morning, didn't mind the deduction of 15.

Afraid that Yu Xing would be bored, Martha started a conversation: "Brother Roy, why are you so familiar with the language of flowers? Did you specialize in studying this knowledge?"

Yu Xing smiled: "I had a friend before, he was like a flower spirit, very interested in all kinds of flowers. I just learned a few special ones by chance."

Soon, one by one, the flowers fell, the land was turned over, and a human skeleton was exposed.

Yes, not only the flesh and skin of the fingers were gone, but the whole body was gone. It could no longer be called a corpse, only a skeleton.

During the excavation process, many broken parts could not be connected, so when Yu Xing took it out of the soil, it was already scattered.

Just digging out the bones from the soil took them a lot of time and effort.

Martha was afraid of ghosts, but unexpectedly, she was not afraid of the corpse. In her words, "I'm only afraid of things that move, what's there to be afraid of if it doesn't move?"

At this moment, she volunteered to help Yu Xing restore the form of the skeleton.

The two moved a pile of scattered bones to the innermost part of the garden, where there was a hard surface separated from the villa, suitable for displaying the skeleton.

"Put this piece here, um, this piece... This is not a leg bone, it's a rib bone. Do you have common sense?"

Yu Xing and her struggled for a while and found that this little Lolita really knew nothing about it.

Martha felt particularly wronged. She pouted and placed the rib bone, thinking that ordinary people couldn't piece together a complete skeleton. Who do you think you are?

"This is not an arm, it's a leg..."

When Yu Xing corrected Martha's mistake helplessly, Martha became unhappy. She relied on her role identity and said angrily, "Brother Roy promised to take care of me and not scold me! I am an exorcist, not like you, a detective with extensive knowledge!"

Yu Xing looked at her with a smile. In fact, they were very fast, and they had almost finished piecing it together. Although Lolita didn't understand, she followed instructions well.

He asked, "When did I scold you?"

"..." Martha recalled and realized that he hadn't scolded her, but she felt unhappy for some reason. "Your tone hurts my self-esteem! I feel useless!" she said.

"Don't underestimate yourself." Yu Xing teased her on purpose. "Your talismans are very useful."

Martha took two seconds to understand—didn't this mean that she was useless? Although she didn't have much use now, but, but, sob!

After a while, they finally put all the bones they found back in place.

A few pieces that couldn't be found in the soil were left as they were.

Martha knew that by finding Mrs. Brown's body, she could roughly determine the cause of death from the form of the body, and perhaps restore the state of Mr. Brown killing Mrs. Brown at that time. Even if only the skeleton remained, some things could still be seen from the bones.

Of course, she didn't understand these things and only hoped that Yu Xing, who seemed to know everything, could explain it to her.

However, she found that after Yu Xing carefully looked at the skeleton, his expression became strange.

Martha asked cautiously, "What's wrong? Can't find any information?"

Yu Xing had been staring at the pelvic bone of the skeleton for a long time.

He raised the corner of his eye and revealed a meaningful smile. "No, there is a lot of information."

"This skeleton is not Mrs. Brown. There is more than one person buried in this garden!"

"Ah?" Martha was stunned, but she quickly reacted, "Is it a man?"

"Yes, it's a male skeleton." Yu Xing nodded in agreement.

Looking at the pelvic bone is the simplest way to identify whether a skeleton is male or female, because the difference is the greatest here.

The pelvic wall of males is thick and rough, with inwardly inclined side walls; the entrance diameter is greater than the transverse diameter, heart-shaped or wedge-shaped; the exit is narrow, the pelvic cavity is narrow and deep, larger on top and smaller on the bottom, funnel-shaped; the sacrum is long and narrow, forming an isosceles triangle, with a large curvature and a prominent cape; the position of the iliac wing is vertical.

Females, on the other hand, have thin and smooth pelvic walls, straight and shallow side walls; the entrance has a larger transverse diameter than the vertical diameter, round or oval, and the exit is wide; the pelvic cavity is short and wide, barrel-shaped; the sacrum is short and wide, forming an equilateral triangle, with a small curvature and a slightly prominent cape; the position of the iliac wing is horizontal.

In addition to these, there are differences in the ischial tuberosity, auricular surface, pubic bone, and obturator foramen.

Therefore, from the "autopsy" results, this is not the Mrs. Brown that Yu Xing wanted to dig up, but another unexpected male deceased.

And for a dead person to turn into a skeleton, either it has been buried for a long time, or it is due to some strange operations that only exist in a bizarre world.

Thinking of certain details in Susan's diary, an answer emerged in Yu Xing's mind.

"Very interesting."

Martha saw that he had figured something out but only said half of it, and she really wanted to punch this devilishly handsome face hard.

But she held back and just asked, "Should we still dig up Mrs. Brown's body?""No..." Yu Xing wanted to say it wasn't necessary, he had already obtained enough information, and they should just let Mrs. Brown rest in the earth. However, the next moment, a woman's voice rang out.

"Are you going to dig me up?"

Instantly, Martha's hair stood on end, and she almost screamed out loud.

As she turned around, she saw Mrs. Brown inexplicably opening the door. Her face no longer held a warm smile. Her blonde hair was wet from the rain and stuck to her face, her dress soaked as she strode towards them in the rain.

Ah! What could be more awkward and terrifying than declaring you're going to dig up someone's remains, only to be confronted by their ghost!

Martha pulled out several talisman papers from her pocket, preparing for a serious confrontation.

"It seems someone has been tattling~" Yu Xing was not afraid, even finding the mood to tease.

"So, you've discovered it." Mrs. Brown tore off her mask of kindness, her body suddenly becoming ethereal.

"Why are you interested in the dead? Can't you just enjoy the flowers?" Her appearance drastically changed, her face pitch black, her expression ferocious and ruthless. Raindrops passed through her body as if through a semi-solid transparent object, slowing down before landing on the ground, shattering into countless pieces.

"Ahhhh!!" Martha screamed as she threw a yellow talisman. The talisman, as if possessing its own consciousness, flew towards Mrs. Brown, burning fiercely in the rain!

Mrs. Brown was not afraid of this. She merely paused for a moment, then like a malevolent ghost, she left the ground, leaning forward and shrieking as she charged at them!

...Just like the ghosts in foreign horror movies, attacking with the most oppressive posture and speed.

To deal with specters in a deduction, relying on offerings and tools is not effective. These can only serve to restrain, deceive, circumvent, save lives, heal, and so on, but they cannot kill a specter.

Except for some zombie scenarios and settings where specters can be directly eliminated, to kill a specter, one must find the corresponding method.

Martha's yellow talisman might be somewhat useful in reality, perhaps even considered a ghost-busting weapon, but in a deduction, it could only be downgraded to a restraining tool.

However, Yu Xing was not panicked. He pulled Martha back, shielding her with his body, and at this critical moment, he shouted—

"York!"

The next moment, an object fell from the sky, hitting Mrs. Brown who should have been intangible.

The window of the second-floor study was opened, and York poked his head out, looking at the object he had just thrown.

It was a doll.

The doll looked quite terrifying, but at this moment, the one who should fear it the most was probably Mrs. Brown. She screamed, halting her charge and trying to retreat.

However, how could the doll, which had hit her squarely, let her leave easily?

The doll reached out its hand to grab Mrs. Brown's skirt hem, swaying as it climbed up.

Mechanically, it called out from its mouth: "Mommy!"

"Mommy!"

"Mommy!"

Yu Xing revealed a triumphant smile.
