    Chapter 22 Four Corners Game

    Little Li shivered and took Lu Yingjiu to the place where the big cockroach spewed out.

    "That's it." Little Li's voice was trembling, "I won't get close, you, you, take your time, those cockroaches will all fly!! When I just hit them, I was slapped in the face. ."

    "Okay." Lu Yingjiu nodded.

    Next to the workbench, a large group of huge cockroaches was surging. When the light of the talisman approached, the cockroaches wiggled their tentacles uneasily, and the brown shell was lit up and looked extremely terrifying.

    Lu Yingjiu's movements were a little stiff.

    ...It's not because of the cockroaches, but because of Jingxian's resentful eyes behind him that seem to have substance. When he turned around, he could still see Jing Xian staring at him, like a silent accusation.

    The brilliance of the talisman paper flicked violently, and the cockroaches were easily burned, leaving no ash.

    There was nothing under the cockroach mass, but there was a stench.

    Between the smell of rotten fish and shrimp, and the stench of rotten flesh. It's not strong, but it's disgusting enough.

    Lu Yingjiu waved his hand, and a few talismans flew out again, illuminating the surroundings.

    There were also a few places where cockroaches gathered, but when the fire approached and they fled, there was nothing underneath.

    But before that, there must be something in these places, leaving behind a smell that made the cockroaches gather here, and because the yin qi has mutated. Sheep ghosts must also have something to do with it.

    Lu Yingjiu murmured, "Could it be the one who left the cigarette butts, who took something with him..."

    But no matter what, they couldn't prove it.

    He stood there and thought for a few seconds: "I'd better deal with the remaining ghosts first, and send Yang Tianle and the others out first."

    "Okay," Jingxian said, "I'll go with you."

    Lu Yingjiu originally wanted Jingxian to stay, but when he turned around and saw that there was still resentment in Jingxian's eyes, he just didn't say it.

    Although he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong at all, he was inexplicably guilty.

    Seems like he really did something wrong.

    However, it is not impossible to bring Jingxian.

    Lu Yingjiu returned to the corner and picked out a dozen talisman papers for Little Li: "Use these at critical moments."

    Little Li hurriedly grabbed it and glanced at Chen Yanyan and the faceless man behind him: "I will protect them, Brother Lu, you must go and return quickly!"

    Lu Yingjiu responded, carefully pasted a few talismans on the surrounding walls, and walked out of the corridor side by side with Jingxian.

    It was dark outside, Jingxian still wanted to hug him on the grounds that "the talisman paper might attract ghosts", but Lu Yingjiu insisted that his level was enough this time, and categorically rejected him, and still ordered a piece of talisman paper to illuminate.

    Along the way, Lu Yingjiu was very patient, never letting go of any room or corner, and even the slightest yin qi couldn't hide from him.

    At the end of the south corridor, he found a Yin Qi, and led Jing Xian to follow to the corridor of the head and hoof processing room.

    dong dong dong.

    dong dong dong.

    Before he got close, he heard the sound of a blunt object knocking.

    As soon as Lu Yingjiu raised his hand, the fire went out, and he approached quietly.

    The door was open, and through the vague outline, another tall goat ghost could be seen.

    With its back to them, it banged something with the hammer in its hand, thumping with great regularity.

    Jingxian told Lu Yingjiu in his breath, "It stuck a human face on a horse's head, and now it's being fixed with a hammer."

    Lu Yingjiu also said in a breathy voice, "That human skin didn't break it, right?"

    If it is damaged, and then stick it back on the faces of the anchors, the scene must be terrible.

    "It's not broken." Jingxian said, "Have you ever seen a cell phone sticker?"

    His topic changed too quickly, and Lu Yingjiu was stunned: "I've seen it, what's wrong?"

    "The man's skin was attached to the horse's head, and bubbles formed just like when the film was applied, and he was disobedient." Jingxian said, "This ghost must have obsessive-compulsive disorder. The bubbles are knocked out. I've seen it hammer for a long time, and it's useless."

    Lu Yingjiu: "..."

    He couldn't understand this strange behavior, nor did he understand Jingxian's wonderful metaphor, so he simply took out his short knife.

    Knife up and down.

    The clear light of the knife almost cut through the darkness, and the sheep ghost has a sensitive hearing and senses the subtle sound of breaking through the air, and when he changes his hand, he swipes it with a hammer!

    But Lu Yingjiu's movements were much more flexible than it was, and the goat ghost swung empty, wailed, and a large amount of blood spurted out of the wound. It backed up again and again, and then it scratched its hooves, and rushed over again!

    It is not as tall as the previous goat ghost, and its body is close to ordinary people, but it has extremely sharp horns on its head. If it is scratched, its intestines will be broken in minutes. Just as Lu Yingjiu was about to dodge, he saw it flying.

    Jing Xian grabbed its horn with one hand and swiped it lightly.

    ——This "lightly" is only seen from an outsider's point of view, even with elegance. In fact, the sheep ghost made a terrifying sound of shattering bones when it landed, without even making a sound, black mist erupted from its body, and it turned into a mass of ordinary sheep bones.

    Easier than crushing an ant.

    Jing Xian didn't take a second look at it, picked up the human skin cow head from the table, and returned to Lu Yingjiu's side: "I'm holding it?"

    "Well." Lu Yingjiu glanced at him, "...If you want, you can take everyone out immediately."

    Jingxian snorted, "How can this be."

    Lu Yingjiu said, "Did someone say that you are not good at acting?"

    "Never." Jingxian answered decisively.

    First, those who can call him are not "people";

    Second, no ghost dared to speak of him.

    Lu Yingjiu tutted softly and poked Jingxian's head.

    He was expressing his dissatisfaction, but Jingxian was completely heartbroken when he stabbed him like this, as if he had been stabbed in the heart, and it was itchy.

    He wanted Lu Yingjiu to poke a few more flirtations.

    But this request sounded too perverted, he really couldn't say it, he could only secretly regret it.

    The two searched all the way, and found a sheep ghost in the south corridor.

    The other party was holding a huge meat-cutting knife, on the left and right of his waist, with two human skins and cow heads pinned separately. Seeing them, it burst into ecstasy in its pupils.

    Then the head was smashed by Jingxian.

    Jingxian's movements were slow, and he didn't get the slightest stain on his body.

    Sure enough, Lu Yingjiu reached out and poked him again.

    Respectfully satisfied.

    Lu Yingjiu saw his smile, took a half step back, and said cautiously: "...Do you have any strange hobbies?"

    "No no."

    After the sheep ghost died, the yin qi suddenly disappeared, and the gloomy feeling was gone.

    The screen of Lu Yingjiu's mobile phone was on and off, and a dozen messages flooded in. The signal was restored, and the flashlight could be used again.

    In the end, Jing Xian carried three bull heads and returned with a full load. He followed Lu Yingjiu back to the mask workshop and found the people who were staying in the corner.

    Lu Yingjiu leaned against the firelight, took out a short knife and went along the gap, carefully cutting off the human skins one by one.

    Jing Xian held the faceless man down, and he gently put the human skin back. The facial features returned to their faces, and everyone's faces were blank, frightened, and confused at first, but soon, Yang Tianle explained the situation to them, saying that the ghosts had been eliminated.

    After all, these streamers have been to many supernatural places, and they are still calm. They know that Lu Yingjiu must be a professional, and it is right to listen to him. After listening to the explanation, they huddled in the corner and whispered.

    With the last person left, Jing Xian held the person's head steady, and Lu Yingjiu stepped forward and pressed his face.

    The man was in constant pain and struggled, but Jing Xian was very strong and held him firmly.

    When Lu Yingjiu retracted his hand, Jing Xian suddenly grabbed his hand. He said, "Does your wound not hurt?"

    Lu Yingjiu was stunned for a moment, only to realize that what Jing Xian asked about was where he was scratched by the doorknob.

    He never cared about this little injury, and said, "It's not in the way."

    Jing Xian responded, just thinking about how to treat him again, when he heard Lu Yingjiu's words change: "If you can tell me who you are, it won't hurt anymore."

    Jing Xian was stunned for a moment, then looked up.

    In the firelight, Lu Yingjiu showed him a teasing smile.

    The warm light reflected on his skin delicately, like some exquisite artwork. He smiled so beautifully, and added: "Why, don't you think about it?"

    The end of the tone is a little long, which is his normal tone, but in this context, it is like a stab on the forehead, and there is an inexplicable subtle emotion.

    Jing Xian didn't show it on the face, but in fact his heart was madly shaken.

    He knew that under his unconcerned acting skills,

    vest

    It's been shaky for a long time, but still want to struggle at the last moment.

    He said, "Didn't we know each other since we were young, why are we still asking this question?"

    "Really." Lu Yingjiu said, "What was the surname of the old aunt next door in our yard at that time?"

    "ginger."

    "What is Uncle Han's favorite food?"

    "Pickled carrots."

    "The one on the corner..."

    "Orange cat, it's called the big picture." Jingxian replied fluently, "It was adopted by the boss of the afternoon nursery school opposite."

    Since he decided to impersonate the "big dog", of course he was fully prepared.

    Jing Xian smiled: "Do you still want to ask?"

    Lu Yingjiu: "..." He knew he couldn't find any flaws, so he didn't ask.

    Jing Xian saw that he was rarely shriveled, the corners of his mouth were slightly tense, inexplicably cute, and he started rubbing Lu Yingjiu's head, rubbing his hair in a mess, Lu Yingjiu glared at him fiercely, and hurriedly started smoothing his hair.

    The faces were all pasted, and everyone left the workshop. Lu Yingjiu walked at the front, Little Li led people in the middle, and after Jing Xian stopped, he went back to the back door like this.

    This time, the back door appeared one after another.

    Little Li pressed the door handle when Lu Yingjiu stopped him.

    Lu Yingjiu looked at Yang Tianle's group and said, "Did you drive here?"

    He was in the parking lot just now and saw no other cars.

    One person nodded and said, "Yes, we have two cars. The one who sneaked in was parked in the corner." He looked at the door uneasily, "Let's go out quickly."

    Lu Yingjiu took out a few small red kits and sent them to each of them one by one.

    The kit is small and exudes a reassuring fragrance.

    He said: "The ghosts have been eliminated, you have no yin in your body, you can rest assured. But I have to say one more thing, take this kit within three days, and don't let it leave your side when you sleep or take a bath. 5 meters. Also, on the way back, if you see someone wanting to hitch a ride, don’t let him get in the car, and don’t look back.”

    These few words made everyone shudder, and they all shivered quietly.

    Only then did Lu Yingjiu let Little Li continue to open the door.

    Because it had not been opened for too long, it was so rusted that every inch of metal seemed to stick together, and Little Li struggled to pull it apart.

    squeak-

    With the harsh rubbing sound, the sunlight poured in from the outside, bright and dazzling.

    Yang Tianle looked at Lu Yingjiu and said, "Then, let's just leave like this?"

    "Let's go." Lu Yingjiu said.

    So the few people didn't care about covering their eyes, and rushed out immediately, running faster than a rabbit in a single swipe. When Little Li came back to his senses again, they all rushed to the parking lot in a flash, and their bodies were almost blurred, and they went straight to the gate of the slaughterhouse.

    "I can run here faster than my rabbit!" Little Li was shocked and looked at Lu Yingjiu again, "What shall we do next?"

    "The ghost that possessed her has not yet been resolved." Lu Yingjiu pointed at Chen Yanyan, "Remember, we came here to play the four-corner game. We imitated the game of the past, and then led out the ghost."

    The so-called four-corner game requires 4 people to complete.

    The 4 people stood in the four corners of the empty room, turned off the lights and turned to the corner of the wall, so they could not look around.

    Start with the person in one of the corners, walk to the other corner, and pat the person in that corner on the shoulder. Then the person being photographed walks in the same direction until they meet the next person and tap that person on the shoulder.

    And so on, if you encounter a corner with no one, you have to cough and keep walking until you meet the next person.

    The reason why this is a supernatural game is because no one coughs while playing.

    There is always someone on the way, but there are people on all 4 corners.

    One more participant was created out of thin air.

    At that time, Chen Yanyan and the others played like this.

    Lu Yingjiu said: "There is a reason to be haunted, and the ghosts in the same location are inextricably linked. Since we don't know why there is a 'goat ghost' for the time being, we don't know that the mask was taken away in the workshop. What is the item. Perhaps, it would be better to continue with another clue."

    He looked at Chen Yanyan: "Can you explain the game process again? Remember to bring all the details."

    "...Okay." Chen Yanyan nodded, "Like I told you before, it was me, my best friend Fan Xin, and our boyfriend who played together. After playing, I will listen to it again. No more coughing. We were so scared at the time that we didn’t dare to stop the game, and we didn’t dare to look back. Finally, lastly,” she shook, “Finally, Fan Xin couldn’t hold back and looked back, wanting to find out more. Who came out?"

    She continued: "The moment she turned around, the lights in the room came on. The light was so strong that we couldn't see anything clearly. When we could see clearly, there were indeed only four of us in the room."

    "We thought it was all right, so we ran out of the slaughterhouse. Unexpectedly, that kind of thing happened after that..."

    After that, Chen Yanyan's family died, and Fan Xin also died "accidentally".

    "Which room did you play in?" Lu Yingjiu asked.

    "A utility room near the gate, I don't remember the specifics." She glanced at everyone, "If I find it, I can recognize it."

    20 minutes later.

    They were standing in front of the corner utility room.

    After entering, it was empty, and the air was so cloudy that it made people a little dizzy. The room type is a square with a side length of about 6 or 7 meters.

    They just happened to be four of them, and they chose a corner to stand and face the wall.

    Lu Yingjiu said, "If I'm ready, I'll put out the talisman paper. Let's go clockwise, starting with me."

    "Okay." Chen Yanyan's voice was thin and weak, a little trembling.

    "No problem." Little Li's voice was also tight.

    "Yeah." Jing Xian was very calm.

    Lu Yingjiu extinguished the talisman paper.

    The room was pitch black, so quiet that it made people panic.

    Lu Yingjiu took the lead, walked clockwise along the wall, reached the corner, and patted Chen Yanyan on the shoulder.

    Then he stood silently in the corner, waiting to be photographed.

    The room was covered with thick carpets, and there was no sound of footsteps at all. After a while, he heard Jingxian coughing—he walked to the corner of the wall where Lu Yingjiu had just left.

    Lu Yingjiu waited for a few more seconds before being tapped lightly on the shoulder.

    He was about to leave, but Jingxian grabbed him and got closer.

    It seems that it was Jingxian who found the abnormality.

    If it were someone else, Lu Yingjiu would not necessarily think so, after all, few people are more sensitive than him. But Jingxian was different after all. If he were, he would definitely find that there were more people in the room.

    So Lu Yingjiu listened with bated breath.

    Jingxian leaned into his ear and whispered, "Are you really not married?"

    Lu Yingjiu: "...?"

    As if the BGM of an idol drama sounded in his ears, he couldn't help but say, "Jingxian, what are you thinking about every day?"

    Jingxian insisted: "You are not married?"

    Lu Yingjiu said, "No."

    The ghost marriage can't be explained all at once, he didn't plan to say more.

    Before Jingxian could speak, he heard Little Li speak hesitantly, his voice too low: "Um, that Brother Lu, is something wrong? Why do I hear someone talking, in a very low voice? kind of."

    Lu Yingjiu: "..."

    He couldn't say that Jing Xian was chatting with him, he coughed, "It's alright, let's continue playing."

    He left the corner and walked towards Chen Yanyan.

    "Cough-cough-"

    This time the person who coughed was Little Li.

    After a while, Jingxian walked over again.

    This time it was Lu Yingjiu who said, "Why are you so interested in my marital status? Did Little Li tell you something?"

    "No." Jing Xian flatly denied.

    "Then why did you look at me so resentfully before?"

    Jingxian lied without blinking: "My eyes are sensitive, and it's uncomfortable there. You must have misunderstood."

    Lu Yingjiu: "..."

    He wanted to poke Jingxian's head again.

    But the four-corner game stipulates that he can't turn around and look, which greatly limits his performance, and he can only move to the next corner without a word.

    "Cough-cough-"

    This round, Chen Yanyan coughed.

    Jingxian came over again.

    Lu Yingjiu whispered to him, "However, I suddenly remembered."

    "What?" Jingxian asked.

    "I told you about this before - I said that I had a ghost marriage." Lu Yingjiu said, "However, I told you about the 'big dog'." His voice contained a smile, " What, you don't remember this now? What are you slamming around here?"

    Little Li spoke again, his voice trembling: "Lu Lu Lu Lu Brother Lu! I really heard someone whispering!"

    Lu Yingjiu rejected it again: "No, you must have heard it wrong." He lowered his voice, "Don't talk about it, I'll find you to settle the account when the matter is settled."

    After speaking, he continued to walk along the corner of the wall, but he didn't know that Little Li was about to cry in the corner.

    Little Li really felt like he was going to die.

    He definitely heard someone speaking, but Brother Lu said he didn't hear it.

    What does this show!

    This shows that this time Guilian Lu Yingjiu is helpless!

    No one else can solve the ghost that Lu Yingjiu can't find.

    Little Li wanted to cry without tears, and wrote countless suicide notes in her heart, ready to say goodbye to this beautiful world.
