Chapter 191: The Ghost That Begins Killing
A scream broke the silence of the village.
Sister Liu and Xiao Liu’s faces changed instantly.
This sound came from inside Xiao Wen’s room!
“Xiao Wen, what’s wrong with you!”
The room door was roughly smashed open.
Inside the room, Xiao Wen was still screaming, her eyes fixed dead on one direction.
Xiao Liu and Sister Liu, upon entering the room, first looked toward Xiao Wen.
Seeing that Xiao Wen was fine, they had just breathed a sigh of relief.
But the next moment, they suddenly gasped.
“How could this be!”
Xiao Liu’s eyes widened.
Sister Liu looked at this scene in disbelief.
Only to see, inside the room, a familiar corpse was hanged from the beam by a black hemp rope.
A complete human skin was hung on the wall.
Dripping with blood.
This…
The two were shocked speechless.
What happened!
“Ghost! There’s a ghost!”
Xiao Wen suddenly shouted out loud.
But the next moment, a black hemp rope dangled down directly, looping around Xiao Wen’s neck.
Instantly, Xiao Wen was hoisted up.
Her neck was tightly strangled, breathing becoming difficult.
Visibly, her face turned ashen.
“Save… save… me!”
Xiao Wen struggled desperately, but to no avail, her struggles visibly growing weaker.
The two finally came to their senses.
Their eyes were full of fear.
Xiao Liu’s mind went blank; having never seen such a scene, he had no idea what to do.
But instinct made him move.
He rushed directly to Xiao Wen’s door, reaching out to lift Xiao Wen.
But at the moment he reached out, Xiao Wen stopped struggling, her hands drooping down.
A human skin fell down.
Blood fell like a waterfall.
Xiao Liu was drenched all over.
“Run!”
Sister Liu also reacted, shouting loudly as she turned and ran.
Xiao Liu’s body trembled, feeling somewhat powerless.
But the instinct to fear death made him disregard everything else, turning and stumbling toward the door.
Ghost!
There really is a ghost!
The two fled the house in panic, running straight onto the highway.
They didn’t know how long they ran.
The two stopped.
“It… it didn’t chase after us, right!”
Sister Liu panted heavily, her face pale and bloodless.
Xiao Liu, covered in blood, felt like he was about to explode.
“Not… not sure…”
“There… there really is a ghost!”
Xiao Liu was on the verge of tears.
“What should we do?”
“Should we call the police!”
Xiao Liu’s voice was choked with sobs.
A living person, and a companion they had spent every day with, had died right in front of him like this.
Died in such a bizarre way.
He was already on the brink of collapse; the only reason he hadn’t collapsed yet was fear of death keeping his reason intact.
“Yes, call the police, we must call the police!”
Sister Liu seemed to grasp a lifeline, suddenly looking at Xiao Liu.
“Did you bring your mobile phone?”
Sister Liu asked anxiously.
Mobile phone?
Mobile phone!
Xiao Liu hurriedly fumbled in his pockets.
Blood was smeared everywhere.
“Where’s my mobile phone, where’s my mobile phone!”
Xiao Liu shouted anxiously.
Soon, Xiao Liu despaired and slumped to the ground.
“I… I didn’t bring my mobile phone!”
Sister Liu’s face turned deathly pale.
“I… I didn’t bring mine either.”
“Then… then what do we do now!”
Xiao Liu was about to cry.
Without a mobile phone, they couldn’t call the police.
If they didn’t call the police, what would they do?
“Don’t… don’t panic, we still have a chance, we can escape, yes, we can escape.”
The two were already panicked beyond measure.
“Escape, yes, escape, we’ll go straight out of the village, as long as we leave the village, we’ll be safe, the ghost is inside the village, it definitely won’t follow us out.”
Sister Liu comforted herself like this.
They didn’t notice that the surrounding environment had long since turned gloomy at some point.
After escaping with their lives, the two gradually recovered their reason.
Xiao Liu panted heavily, “Yes, as long as we walk out…”
But before he finished speaking, a pale hand suddenly reached out from behind, grabbing Xiao Liu’s face.
Xiao Liu’s eyes widened instantly.
“Save…”
A muffled voice came from Xiao Liu’s mouth.
But it was too late; before Xiao Liu could struggle, he was directly dragged into the darkness by that pale, bloodless hand.
Sister Liu’s pupils contracted repeatedly.
“Ah!”
A scream suddenly rang out.
Sister Liu turned and fled.
“Someone died.”
Although it was far away, the scream could still be faintly heard.
“The first to die must be those outsiders.”
Old Hong said confidently.
“It seems even darker.”
Ye Zhen sat on the rooftop, overlooking the village.
Compared to before, the village was now pitch black.
The lights inside the village had gone out very early.
“By the way, do you really have no way to handle it?”
Ye Zhen looked down at Old Hong.
Old Hong shook his head, “No way, I’m just an ordinary person.”
“Incense is my method.”
“If it’s useless, then I have no method.”
“Now we just wait until tomorrow morning, when a ghost will carry the lantern out, and then the ghost here can be dealt with.”
Ye Zhen stroked his chin, “Are you certain the ghost carrying the lantern will come to take away this ghost?”
“Definitely, as long as there’s a ghost nearby, the ghost with the lantern will find that ghost.”
Hearing Old Hong say this, Ye Zhen nodded.
“What if there’s an accident?”
“For example?” Old Hong asked.
“For example, the lantern won’t appear.”
“Impossible, as long as a ghost enters the village, the next day the lantern will be carried out by a ghost.”
“Otherwise, do you think the village has survived this long for what reason?”
Old Hong was very confident.
After all, ghosts entering the village wasn’t just once or twice; the villagers here were long accustomed to it.
Ye Zhen’s eyes flickered slightly, “Supernatural events are just afraid of accidents happening.”
“You’d better take it seriously.”
When Old Hong encountered a ghost entering the village and couldn’t handle it himself, he actually relied on that lantern that might appear at some unknown time to handle it.
This in itself was a hidden danger.
Once that lantern didn’t appear, how would the ghost inside the village be handled?
Would they just let the fierce ghost kill people inside the village?
Old Hong’s expression changed slightly.
This seemed like a real problem.
But he had no way to handle that ghost.
“If that’s really the case, then I can only fight desperately.”
“The shovel and fan might not work, so what about the scissors over there?”
Hearing this, Ye Zhen’s gaze flickered, “If you use it, you’ll die, and it might even attract one or more external ghosts.”
He had touched the Ghost Scissors, so he knew very well what the situation was.
Previously, Fang Shiming had said that the curse medium on the Ghost Scissors had quite a few.
He needed to find an opportunity to clean it.
If not cleaned, sooner or later there would be an issue of being entangled by the curse on the Ghost Scissors.
Old Hong fell silent, but soon his expression became firm, “As long as the village’s safety can be ensured, me dying is no problem.”
“If the situation you mentioned really happens, then I ask you to lend a hand.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t help for nothing; I’ll tell you the method to make ghost incense.”
Ye Zhen’s gaze sharpened, and he looked deeply at Old Hong.
