Chapter 14: The Mansion at One A.M
Gou Ming felt the guard in his chest slightly.
After several different changes, Gomei gradually discovered the hidden role of Amaterasu.
When this omamori encounters a wraith, it will heat up to warn him, and the higher the temperature, the more dangerous the approaching wraith.
Although the omamori was heating up now, the temperature was not high, far lower than the temperature when Gou Ming encountered the monster in the kitchen, and even inferior to the groundbound spirit that was banging on the door at the gate, only about the same as the afterimage in the banquet hall.
With a basic judgment, Gou Ming relaxed a little.
Afterimages pose minimal threat, and they don't even cause much real damage.
Gou Ming clenched the crowbar in his right hand, turned around quickly, and shone the bright flashlight behind him.
Yet there was nothing behind him.
Gou Ming suddenly became vigilant, and he slowly shone the flashlight towards the ceiling......
The ceiling was equally empty.
Is it an afterimage that can only make sounds?' ’
Gou Ming's face couldn't help but show a trace of doubt.
Just as he turned around, a charred figure silently appeared in front of him!
Gou Ming's heart suddenly raced.
Under the illumination of the bright flashlight, the charred figure was visible.
Its whole body was charred and covered with cracked scars, red and yellow continued to flow out of the cracks of the scars, and its face was burned to the ground, its eyes and mouth were three black holes, and its nose and ears were gone.
'Turn around and kill!? ’
Gou Ming couldn't help screaming in his heart, and his body acted instinctively.
Almost without thinking about it, the crowbar in Gou Ming's right hand had already been swung out at the front.
Syllable!
There was a sound as if the glass was shattered, and the blackened figure in front of Gou Ming was immediately shattered by a crowbar, turning into stars and dissipating into the air.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Gou Ming found that before the afterimage was shattered, his expression seemed to be very aggrieved?
Eliminating the remnant, Gou Ming retreated from the left area into the lobby.
Clang~! Clang~!
At this moment, the quaint grandfather clock placed next to the staircase suddenly rang.
A dull voice broke the silence and echoed throughout the mansion.
Gou Ming subconsciously looked at the dial of the table clock.
It's already one o'clock in the morning......
With the dull sound of bells, gusts of cold wind blowing from nowhere, Gou Ming immediately felt that the mansion had become a little different, as if something terrible had gradually awakened from its slumber.
The guard on his chest, the temperature rising as it grew, seemed to warn him as well.
This is by no means an illusion of hooking.
Phew!
The Groundbound Spirit seemed to be stimulated and moved even more frantically, and the wooden door crumbled under its impact.
Soon Gou Ming felt that the unknown gaze in the photo fell on him again, and it became more and more cold, full of Chi Guoguo's hostility.
The flashlight flashed over the photo, and the Ying Lili in the photo had an undisguised cold smile on her face, and her expression was more vivid, as if she had come to life.
Gou Ming knew that the longer he delayed himself in this mansion, the more dangerous it became.
He endured the discomfort, and under the gaze of Ying Lidi in the photo, he strode up the stairs and walked towards the right area of the second floor.
Pushing open the door, there was a silent corridor, and a few vague black shadows shrunk into a ball and hid in the corner, and Gou Ming shone the flashlight through, only to realize that they were several large vases for decoration.
On one side of the hallway was an outward window, and on the other side was a row of rooms, about four or five, with the doors closed and I don't know what they were for.
Gou Ming walked over and pushed open the door of the first room.
Bed, wardrobe, dresser, table and chairs, separate bathroom...... It looks like a guest bedroom.
Gou Ming walked into the room, opened the drawer of the dresser, and opened the wardrobe again, which was empty and found nothing.
Gou Ming searched for two more rooms in succession. Nothing was found in the two guest bedrooms.
Gou Ming couldn't help but sigh. The mansion was getting weirder and weirder now, and he was desperate to find a clue and leave immediately.
But it backfired, and there didn't seem to be any clues left in the guest bedroom.
Gou Ming guessed that the biggest clue was probably hidden in the mansion's owner, the diplomat couple, or Ying Lili's room.
At this moment, the sudden rise in the temperature of his chest woke Gou Ming from his contemplation.
Something unclean has appeared!
Gou Ming immediately looked around the room, and nothing unusual happened. Out of caution, Gou Ming immediately exited the third bedroom.
Just as he walked to the door, there was a click behind him! There was a soft thud.
What is the sound of something cracking!
In the silence, the sound was incomparably clear.
Gou Ming hurriedly turned around and shone around with a flashlight, and soon he found that the mirror of the dresser had inexplicably cracked a crack, and what was even more strange was that this crack was still blood-red, as if there was blood about to flow out of it.
Gou Ming's expression was serious, and the temperature of the imperial guard on his chest continued to rise, surpassing the level of the afterimage.
He hurriedly closed the door and ran to the fourth bedroom.
Something has awakened, and he must complete the search as soon as possible and get out of here!
Gou Ming opened the fourth bedroom, and not only did the mirror of the dresser show exactly the same blood stains, but the number of blood stains continued to increase!
The omamori on his chest is getting hotter and hotter.
Gou Ming hurriedly opened the drawers and wardrobes, and immediately ran out of the room when he found no clues.
The moment he closed the door, the cracks on the mirror continued to increase, and even began to ooze blood outward, and a vague shadow faintly appeared in the mirror!
Gou Ming didn't dare to stay, immediately closed the door and ran to the last room.
The first time he opened the door, Gou Ming saw that the mirror of the dresser was full of cracks, and a large amount of blood was flowing outward from the cracks.
The temperature of the chest guard was so hot that it almost began to get hot.
Gou Ming immediately rushed over, opened the closet, it was empty, and then rushed to the dresser.
At this moment, the mirror made a clicking sound, as if it would shatter at any moment. The shadow in the mirror keeps scratching at the mirror and makes a piercing creak!
Gou Ming used both hands and quickly opened all the drawers, and this time he finally made a discovery.
In the top drawer, there is a blood-red bow!
Gou Ming hurriedly reached out and grabbed the bow.
At this moment, smack! With a loud bang, the mirror shattered, and a miserable white arm stretched out, also grabbing the bow!
But Gou Ming was a second faster after all, he grabbed the bow first, and then turned around and ran!
"Ahhh
The shadow in the mirror let out a piercing scream.
With the sound of glass shattering, something came out of the mirror!
Gou Ming ran to the door, and the moment he closed the door, he saw a resentful spirit wearing a blood-stained maid costume, with her head turned 180 degrees, and her eyes were blood-red, rushing towards the door with her limbs!
