Chapter 5 Ancestral Hall (3)
"Why did the power suddenly go out?"
Lin Duohuan, who was sleeping between the two, clenched the quilt tightly, wishing she could wrap herself up. The dark environment was more likely to breed fear.
Although very tired and sleepy, under this pressure, no one in the two rooms felt sleepy. Originally, I thought that the lights in the room would be on, which would add some sense of security, but who knew that the lights suddenly went out.
"Then, that thing, won't come here..."
Yu Hong gritted her teeth, and she could hear the sound of teeth squeezing and rubbing when she spoke. She wanted to get up to see if the fuse was blown, but she didn't have the courage.
"Don't, don't talk, wait, wait for that thing."
She took a few deep breaths and persuaded in a low voice, "Close your eyes, and don't open your eyes no matter what happens later."
Yu Hong thought, many times people are scared to death by the terrifying pictures they see. As long as they don't open their eyes, they may be fine.
No need for her to say, Lin Duohuan had already closed her eyes tightly, and covered her head with a quilt, her legs curled up, afraid that something would grab her feet from behind, so she could only curl herself smaller The closer you are, the more secure you are.
All that was left in the room was the muffled breathing and the ticking of an old-fashioned wall clock.
"Da da da"
This old clock has not been oiled for a long time, and every time the pointer turns, it makes a blocking sound.
In the increasingly quiet environment, the sound of the percussion on the heart is like a soul song that urges life.
The hairs on Yu Hong's body stood up, and she didn't know if it was an illusion. She always felt that someone was staring at her, and it seemed that someone was blowing on the back of her neck.
But behind her is the wall!
and many more!
behind her...
Yu Hong didn't dare to turn around, her eyes were tightly closed, and her body was so tense that she twitched.
Gu Chu slowed down the rhythm of her breathing, as if she was really asleep. She closed her eyes, leaving only a gap where she could barely see some shadows.
She was unavoidably afraid of the mysterious ghosts she had never seen before, but Gu Chu knew in her heart that since she had been involved in this bizarre world, if she wanted to survive, she couldn't just avoid it.
After the lights went out, the eyeballs took dozens of seconds to adjust to the darkness.
"Da da da"
"Da-da-da"
Gu Chu's breathing stagnated, and his body tightened instantly.
There is more than the sound of the pointer moving in the room!
Goosebumps appeared on his arm instantly, and Gu Chu made sufficient psychological preparations before he controlled his skeletal muscles and relaxed again.
She was certain that there was more "thing" in the room.
Gu Chu slowly rolled his eyes and looked around. When he turned to the left, he stopped and Yu Hong and Lin Duohuan were lying on her left.
The originally flat wall was slowly squirming, and Yu Hong's figure lying on the side with her back to the wall looked extremely small in front of the wall, slowly, slowly, as if she was about to be wrapped in.
In addition to being surprised, Gu Chu wanted to see more clearly, and the muscles that controlled the eyeballs became extremely sore.
"Da da da"
Suddenly, the wall stopped creeping, and it seemed that the woman who was peeking at "him" was found.
It's staring at her!
"No matter what movement you make, don't make a sound. As long as we stay together and don't trigger the death mechanism, we should be fine."
The man's room was also powered off. In the darkness, Shi Ren lowered his voice to remind the other two, as if comforting himself.
Shi Ren clenched the burning fingers on his chest, he knew it was coming.
[A poor-quality jade ring finger]: The former owner was a half-baked Feng Shui master. The jade ring finger inherited the original owner's ability. It will become hot when dirt is approaching to indicate an early warning. The number of times is 35.
This is the evil thing that Shi Ren obtained in the second story. The evil thing is a special name for readers to drop after the death of ghosts. This kind of thing is similar to the monster explosion in the game. In order to get the prizes that burst out, but not every ghost will burst out rewards after death.
Therefore, the value of evil things is very high. In the last story, Shi Ren relied on this ring to escape a fatal pit.
The ring in the palm of his hand was almost on fire, Shi Ren slowly put his other hand into his pocket, and pinched the talisman paper inside.
The death mechanism was obviously not triggered, so how could it attract ghosts? What went wrong?
Shi Ren frantically turned his brain. He didn't dare to tell Ma Dajun and Pang Chong directly, for fear that they would rush out after they knew there was a ghost in the room.
Because of Shi Ren's words, although Ma Dajun and Pang Chong were scared, they could only pretend to be asleep.
The layout of the men's and women's rooms is the same, a two-meter wide bed, one side is against the wall, the other side is the corridor, and the bedroom door is on the other side of the corridor.
Shi Ren had several story experiences. To protect the newcomers, he chose the position near the door while sleeping, while Ma Dajun and Pang Chong chose the positions next to the wall and in the middle respectively.
Because of going to bed, the suit that Pang Chong lent to Ma Dajun couldn't be worn anymore, and lying on the bed wearing this thing was really frightening.
Anyway, there were mattresses on the bed and a few thin quilts, so Ma Dajun simply went shirtless again.
Even though the village in the middle of the mountain is very cool at night, it still feels a bit stuffy when inside the house. Ma Dajun is shirtless and sticks to the wall, feeling less dry in his heart.
As for Pang Chong and Shi Ren, one of them was wearing a shirt and the other was wearing cotton short-sleeves. Although lying on the bed wearing clothes is definitely not as comfortable as being shirtless, but wearing a layer of cloth on the body always makes people feel safer. The two simply went to bed with their clothes on.
There was only the low-pitched breathing of the two companions in his ears, and Ma Dajun felt his heart be agitated, so he leaned closer to the wall. There was no place for his body to be against the wall, so he was tightly covered with a quilt.
What good things can that book coupon buy? Shi Ren didn't talk about it in detail before going to bed.
Bloodlines, supernatural powers... don't know if he has the ability to turn stones into gold. At that time, he will fire the boss and the yellow-faced woman who always talks about it at home, and he will also buy a luxury house and a luxury car.
By the way, there is also that female anchor who voted so many light sticks for her, and refused to even give her a WeChat ID, but she called those who voted for rockets one mouthful and one big brother so sweet, slut, slut, when the time comes Throw her a hundred subs and make her call papa on her knees.
Thinking of this, Ma Dajun felt his blood boil, imagining the face of the female anchor, and many restricted-rated images appeared in his mind.
I have to say that Ma Dajun's way of diverting his attention was very good. At least after a while, he felt his skin against the wall tingling.
Being a truck driver is not an easy job. Sometimes Ma Dajun has to help carry the goods when he meets a shrewd employer. After working for several years, among other things, his arms and back muscles are still very strong. Honey-colored skin, not inferior to some bodybuilders, of course, we must first ignore his small belly accumulated due to long-term sedentary.
The skin on his back is particularly smooth. Many people have many goose bumps on their backs due to oil secretion, but Ma Dajun does not. Several times when his daughter-in-law rubbed his back, he sighed that if the skin was whiter,She was willing to use her own skin in exchange, Ma Dajun didn't care, what should a big man do with good skin, not to mention a position that others can't see.
"Hiss—tear—"
It was like the sound of skin and flesh being separated.
A burst of cold sweat broke out on Ma Dajun's forehead, and the pain from his back became more and more obvious. He couldn't pretend to be asleep at all. He opened his eyes suddenly, and the bloodshot eyeballs almost protruded from their sockets.
"Ah, ah—uh—"
Ma Dajun wanted to call out, but his mouth seemed to be blocked, and he could only whimper. He wanted to reach out to grab Pang Chong, but he couldn't lift it up.
He could only widen his eyes and look at the two people in front of him.
Pang Chong wrapped himself tightly with a quilt, and Shi Ren lay on his back with his eyes closed, only rolling his eyelids to let people know that he was still awake.
"Uh"
Save him quickly!
Ma Dajun wanted to make some noise like crazy, but Pang Chong and Shi Ren remained motionless.
Suffering the pain of peeling alive, Ma Dajun passed out from the pain, and woke up again in pain.
"Tear-"
When he dullly felt the last inch of skin close to the wall being peeled off, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he was enveloped by raging flames.
Pang Chong, who was only a dozen centimeters away, seemed unaware of the scorching heat, and was still curled up, while Shi Ren was still holding the talisman paper in his pocket, always on guard against ghosts in the room.
After dozens of minutes passed, the fire gradually went out, leaving only a struggling charred corpse.
"what"
Early in the morning, Gu Chu and the others were awakened by screams from the next door.
Immediately, Gu Chu turned his head to look at the wall behind Yu Hong.
"What do you see me doing?"
Yu Hong touched her face. In the middle of the night last night, she felt that the wall behind her seemed to be alive. At that time, she was so scared that she almost peed her pants. For some reason, she was so scared that she fell asleep.
Yu Hong, who was sleeping soundly, felt that what happened last night might be her own illusion, but seeing Gu Chu's eyes just now, Yu Hong was a little uncertain again.
Is she looking at herself, or is she looking at the wall behind her?
Feeling hairy in her heart, Yu Hong could only yell at Gu Chu, but didn't have the courage to look back. She thought, she must not sleep against the wall tonight.
"There seems to be something wrong next door."
Gu Chu frowned slightly, she must have seen that "thing" last night, but how could she fall asleep later?
"Yeah, let's go quickly."
Lin Duohuan echoed in a low voice, the neighbor shouted so loudly, something must have happened.
"How could this be the case? It's the third one. It's a foreigner who had the accident..."
When they opened the door, the village chief's family had already stood at the door ahead of them. Gu Chu's ears were sharp, and he heard the murmur of the village chief's wife.
The third?
She walked behind the village head's family and took advantage of her height to clearly see the situation in the room.
A charred corpse was lying on the bed, and Pang Chong fell to the ground. He was the one who yelled just now, and Shi Ren was examining the corpse.
His expression was a bit dignified, and a rookie died on the first night, which obviously exceeded the difficulty of ordinary novice tasks.
What is the meaning of the hint given by "One Hundred Thousand", and what is the real reason for the murderous intent?
