Chapter 193: Ancestral Hall
I hope Lin Qian and the other two are all safe.
At this time, Lin Qian and Fang Shiming were still hanging.
In the village.
Sister Liu ran desperately toward the outside of the village in a panic.
She had only one thought at the moment: escape, escape from inside the village.
As long as she escaped, she could live on.
That was what she thought.
A flashlight beam suddenly appeared ahead.
It appeared without a sound, without any warning, just like someone groping in the dark to your front and then suddenly turning on the flashlight.
Sister Liu was so scared that she fell to the ground.
Her eyes were full of terror.
“Big Brother, there’s a pretty woman.”
The flashlight shone, revealing a refined man.
“I see it, turn off the flashlight.”
The man frowned.
The bald man quickly pointed the flashlight at the woman.
“Anxious like a woman escaping for her life.” Curly Hair looked behind the woman.
“Something is chasing this woman.”
The man didn’t speak; he pushed his glasses, squatted down, and looked at the woman.
“I ask, you answer. Is there something chasing you from behind? What is it?”
“Ghost, there’s a ghost behind!”
“The ghost is killing people!”
“Run, run fast!”
Sister Liu came back to her senses from fear, struggled to stand up, and was about to leave.
“Ghost?”
Hearing this word, Curly Hair and the bald man’s gazes instantly turned dangerous.
The casual and unserious look in their eyes was gone.
“Ghost, hmm, better to pop up now than later.”
The man stood up. “Curly Hair, deal with it.”
Curly Hair tilted his neck, pulled out his pistol, and fired directly at the struggling woman.
Bang~!
A bullet hole appeared on the woman’s forehead.
Sister Liu looked at the three men in bewilderment and confusion.
Why, why kill her?
Curly Hair put away the gun.
The three paid no attention to the still-warm corpse on the ground.
“It’s coming.”
Just after the woman died, three eerie figures floated over from the road in the darkness.
The flashlight shone over, and the light began to flicker.
Then it went out directly.
The bald man threw away the flashlight.
Although the flashlight was destroyed by the supernatural, they had still seen what those three figures were just now.
They were three corpses with all their skin peeled off, dripping with blood, hanging and floating toward them.
“This is creepy.”
Curly Hair drew a blood-drenched small knife.
He raised the small knife and aimed it at the three corpses.
Then he fiercely threw the small knife.
The blood-drenched small knife split weirdly into four the moment it left his hand.
Pfft.
The small knife disappeared, but a blood-drenched small knife appeared on the forehead of each of the three corpses.
The small knife seemed to possess a very terrifying ability.
The three corpses couldn’t dodge, and after being pierced.
Their bodies rapidly began to wither.
Snap~!
The ropes hanging the three corpses suddenly broke.
Then they quickly contracted and disappeared into the darkness.
On the ground, the three corpses that had become dried corpses lay in a weird pose.
“Four, the source is not here.”
Curly Hair looked at the small knives on the foreheads of the three dried corpses.
He walked over and casually pulled out one.
As the small knife was pulled out, the small knives on the foreheads of the other two corpses weirdly disappeared.
“I’ll go first.”
Curly Hair turned back and said to the two.
“We’ll wait for you at the destination.” The refined man nodded and said.
Curly Hair nodded, stepped over the corpses, quickly went far away, and soon disappeared into the darkness.
The man and the bald man, calm in expression, quickly headed toward the center of the village.
Their target seemed to be in the center of the village.
The gunshot broke the silence of the village.
But no one came out to check; every villager minded their own business, keeping their room doors tightly closed.
“Confirmed, one of them is a ghost controller.”
He saw it clearly; the method Curly Hair used was definitely not something an ordinary person should have.
“Looks like we need to prepare for the worst.”
Old Hong couldn’t see clearly what happened there, but the gunshot meant it was definitely not good.
“Their target is inside the village. Old man, what thing is inside the village?”
Those three had a target, and the target was inside the village.
“The most special thing inside the village is an ancestral hall, but that ancestral hall has nothing special; there’s just one coffin inside.”
“The coffin is empty.”
At this point, “Could it be that their target is the ancestral hall?”
Old Hong asked in surprise.
“Ancestral hall, empty coffin…”
Ye Zhen was now very sensitive to coffins.
He boldly guessed, “Before they came, the coffin was empty, that’s true, but after they came, the coffin might not be empty anymore.”
“Let’s go take a look.”
Ye Zhen said.
“Isn’t that too dangerous?”
Ye Zhen grinned. “When the time comes to fight, just give me the shovel.”
Hearing this, Old Hong didn’t waste words, stood up, and led Ye Zhen toward the village ancestral hall.
Bang~!
The door of Old Li’s house was kicked open.
Curly Hair strode in.
As soon as he entered, a foul rotting stench wafted out.
Curly Hair looked around and soon saw the source of the stench.
A corpse.
A corpse with a small knife nailed into its forehead.
The corpse lay in front of the water jar.
Head tilted, expression numb and lifeless.
At the spot where the small knife was nailed into the forehead, blackened dirty blood flowed out.
The corpse had not withered.
Curly Hair’s gaze flickered slightly.
He didn’t approach immediately.
“One ghost.”
“Trouble.”
Curly Hair put on a pair of special gloves.
Then he walked over, grabbed the corpse, and dragged it out of the room.
Then he directly threw it onto the main road.
“Just leave it here for now; one ghost won’t revive for the time being.”
Curly Hair didn’t retrieve the small knife.
After all, he couldn’t be sure if retrieving the small knife would make this ghost revive immediately.
“Leaving it here like this might be a bit too obvious.”
Curly Hair looked around.
Soon he found a perfect spot.
He dragged the corpse and threw it into some weeds.
Then he grabbed some grass to cover it.
After confirming it wouldn’t be easily discovered.
Curly Hair turned and quickly headed toward the center of the village.
Village center.
Ancestral hall doorway.
The man and the bald man had already arrived.
Da da da~!
Footsteps sounded from behind.
“You’re a bit slow.”
The bald man turned to look.
It was Curly Hair.
“It was a ghost; I hid it and will retrieve the knife later.”
Curly Hair explained briefly.
“Won’t it affect things?”
The man asked.
Curly Hair shook his head: “No.”
The man nodded.
“After delivering the letter, you all know what to do, right?”
The man’s gaze turned to the ancestral hall doorway.
“We know.”
They were no novices.
After delivering the letter, there would be a safe period; as long as they left within that time, they wouldn’t be affected.
“Good that you know.”
The man looked at the tightly closed door of the ancestral hall.
He was just about to enter.
But suddenly, all three turned to look beside them, their gazes narrowing.
