Just when everyone was holding their breath and concentrating, Lu Chen was holding a red candle in his hand that he didn't know where to get, almost as long as a middle finger, and the same thickness.

"Mr. Liu, please lend me a lighter. ”

The entire villa was quiet, only the whirring sound of the evening breeze blowing through the glass, and Lu Chen's sudden opening really startled the other four people.

"Master Lu, the next time you are invited to speak, will you give us a psychological preparation first? Such a surprise will scare people to death!"

Li Sheng's face turned slightly pale, and he patted his chest while saying angrily.

Ye Qingyun said with deep sympathy: "Yes, brother-in-law, your sudden words almost didn't scare me to death." ”

"I'm sorry...... Sorry ......"

Seeing this, Lu Chen apologized to the four of them again and again, and then took the lighter from Liu Laosan's hand and pressed it gently.

"Click!"

A delicate flame ignited, adding a faint light to the entire dark and quiet living room.

Lu Chen lit the red candle in his hand unhurriedly, the faint light of the fire was crumbling, no brighter than the lighter just now. However, just as the red candle was lit, and not a few seconds later, an inexplicable cold wind blew and blew out the candle directly.

Suddenly, the entire living room fell into darkness again.

The eyes of the four people around him immediately focused on Lu Chen's side again, and he also frowned, looked around suspiciously, and then pressed the lighter again to relight the red candle.

This time, he used his hand in front of the candle to keep it from being blown out by the cold wind.

"Qingling, you help me hold this candle first, protect it a little with your hands, and don't let it go out. ”

As Lu Chen spoke, he handed the red candle in his hand to Ye Qingling, and then he said to Liu Laosan: "Mr. Liu, the lighter will be placed here for the time being, and I will return it to you after it goes out." ”

"No, no, I have a spare one here. ”

When Liu Laosan heard this, he hurriedly shook his head, and casually took out a new lighter from his pocket and shook it in front of Lu Chen.

Seeing this, Li Sheng couldn't help but smile and said, "He's an old smoker, and he likes to have an extra lighter." ”

Lu Chen nodded, didn't say anything, but reached out from his backpack, took out two talismans, and handed them to Liu Laosan and Li Sheng.

"Things may change at night, so be careful. ”

After Liu Laosan and the others took the talismans, he explained in a deep voice: "These two talismans are talismans, which can help you avoid the attacks of evil things. You just keep the talisman in the palm of your hand, and once you notice something wrong, throw it out directly. ”

Li Sheng nodded, his brows furrowed slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Liu Laosan, on the side, was curiously fiddling with the talismans in his hand, and he obviously felt that there were many differences between Lu Chen's talismans and the talismans drawn by the Taoist priests in Longhu Mountain.

"You two have to be careful, you have to follow me closely, understand?"

Lu Chen turned around again and said to the Ye family sisters.

At this time, his demeanor was no longer as relaxed as before, and even a little dignified. Who made the change in the villa tonight a little beyond his expectations?

Ye Qingyun still wanted to ask something, but when she saw Lu Chen's serious expression, she immediately swallowed the question back into her stomach, and then nodded vigorously, indicating that she would definitely not make any trouble.

After seeing Ye Qingyun nodded, Lu Chen finally showed a look of satisfaction, in fact, his main concern was this unconscious sister-in-law, as for his wife Ye Qingling, he didn't need to ask him to ask at all.

"Give me the candles. ”

He took the candle back from Ye Qingling's hand again, and then began to walk towards the living room. The other four didn't dare to ask anything more at this time, and hurriedly followed.

Since Lu Chen had already been to the villa once at noon, he was familiar with the layout in the living room, walked to the sofa accurately, and kicked the coffee table in front of the sofa to the center of the living room.

Next, he fixed the red candle in his hand on the coffee table, and then took out eight of the same candles from his backpack and placed them in the eight corners of the living room according to the gossip Fang Wei.

The faint light produced by the nine candles when they burn makes the whole living room a little hazy, and the constantly beating candle flame illuminates the figures of the five people in the living room from high to low, faintly adding a trace of weirdness.

In such an atmosphere, Ye Qingling and the others not only did not relieve the tension and fear in their hearts, but were also made nervous by the black shadow of the Dao Dao under the candlelight.

In a large house, when you light a candle or turn on a flashlight, the lack of light will make only a vague shadow of the furniture such as chairs and tables visible.

At this time, even if it is just an ordinary chair, when it is illuminated by a certain angle of light, it will look like there is a person squatting there due to the special atmosphere of the surrounding environment.

At this moment, what Ye Qingling and the others saw in their eyes was like this.

The furniture placed in the living room, whether it is a sofa, a chair, a hanger, etc., is instantly transformed into something else under the faint and flickering light of the candlelight, or like a person squatting in a corner, or standing in front of a floor-to-ceiling window, and so on.

The Ye family sisters, Liu Laosan, and Li Sheng, because they were all vaguely afraid and frightened in their hearts, made it easier for them to associate the dark shadows around them with those terrible and terrifying things.

Lu ...... Master Lu, footsteps ...... Footsteps ......"

When Liu Laosan was looking around vigilantly, he suddenly heard something, which made him panic all of a sudden, and he hurriedly shouted to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen naturally heard the footsteps in Liu Laosan's mouth, he frowned slightly, searched the direction where the sound came from, and found that the footsteps were actually coming from upstairs.

When he suddenly looked up, he found a white figure standing near the chandelier on the second floor.

The appearance of this white figure did not have any warning, when Lu Chen observed the surroundings before, there was nothing in the position of the chandelier, but after a burst of footsteps, a white figure suddenly appeared here, as if it appeared out of thin air.

Seeing this white figure, it was obviously not only Lu Chen and Liu Laosan, but also the Ye family sisters and Li Sheng who were standing next to them, and they all looked up in the direction of the chandelier.

When they saw this inexplicable white figure, the faces of the three of them turned white instantly, and their expressions became panicked.

Rao is Ye Qingyun, who has always been known for her boldness, was even more trembling at this time, and almost didn't scream directly.
