I looked sideways and saw a figure running past. It may be that the pumpkin's voice startled the person, and he could hear the footsteps of "stomping", and he seemed to be in a hurry.

"Let's go! ... Chase it and take a look. ”

I shouted, kept my face composed, and rushed out of the corridor to the right.

But when I ran over there, I could still see people in the corridor.

"Chief, did you believe me this time? ... It was a real person who had just run over, and I sensed 'anger' in him. Zhu Zishi chattered.

Pumpkin turned his head to look at me and whispered, "Brother Qin, I didn't see that person clearly, but he didn't seem to be tall, and he seemed to be a child." ”

Child?

How can a child be in a villa?

I let out an "um" and walked straight to the right corner. Just around the corner, I was able to see a few rooms. Pumpkin and I searched room to room, but we couldn't find where the kid was.

Zhu Zishi spoke again: "Xiaodao Chief, that person is not here, he should have gone to the bedroom." I could feel a little more 'angry' over there. My villa is still not quite the same as other people's villas, there is a corridor over there, you can go to the left, and the entire second floor is a 'Hui' shape. ”

West Eight!

So that's the case, and I said why the kid was gone.

Soon, Pumpkin and I went back to the corridor on the left, and all but the bedroom room was not pushed open. But no one was found.

"It's very 'angry', and there must be more than one person." Zhu Zishi reminded.

I squinted my eyes and stared at the bedroom.

Then I said to the pumpkin, "Pumpkin, get up!" ... I slammed the door open! ”

Pumpkin nodded and stepped aside.

With a quick step, I slammed my shoulder into the door. "Bang!" There was a muffled thud that hurt my arm. There seemed to be something blocking the doorway, and with a "bang", it seemed that something had fallen to the ground.

However, it was at this time that there were suddenly several "woo" cries from the bedroom.

The cry is indeed the cry of a child!

It's strange, isn't this villa uninhabited, how can so many children pop up.

Listening to the crying, there must be at least three or four children.

A crack opened in the bedroom door.

Seeing me holding my shoulders, Pumpkin walked over and said, "Brother Qin, let's do it with me." I have more strength than you. ”

I nodded and said, "Okay, be careful." ”

The pumpkin walked over, propped her hands on the door panel, and pushed it inside.

"Squeak, squeak!"

The sound of something rubbing against the floor came out.

Then the bedroom door was pushed open by the pumpkin.

But as soon as he pushed open the bedroom door, the pumpkin screamed "ahh Then, with his eyes wide, he trembled at me and shouted, "Qin...... Brother Qin, there are ghosts....... Hell! ”

He froze there. His lips trembled, and his face was as pale as paper.

Shoulders trembling.

Ghost?

I pulled out my wand and rushed over.

When I saw the "ghost" at the bedroom door, I also chuckled in my heart.

I saw a red-faced, pointed chin, black-eyed, wide-mouthed, fanged, and demon appear at the bedroom door. It also made a "woo-woo" sound in its throat.

The voice was similar to what I had heard on the first floor.

Where did I think so much, my heart was anxious, afraid that the evil ghost would attack the pumpkin, so I took my body, picked up the demon wand and threw it at the top of the demon's head.

But just as I was about to smash my wand on the demon's head, the demon reached out and took his face off.

When I saw that face clearly, my heart was shocked again.

It's not a ghost, it's a little boy.

He wears a demon mask on his face.

"Brother Qin, yes...... It's a child! "The pumpkin saw it too.

But my wand of torture was struck at once, and it was too late to take it back.

It was at this moment that a stick came over me, and with a "click", it hit me on the arm. A child rushed out, a little girl.

"Oops!"

I screamed in pain, and the staff in my hand fell to the ground before I could grasp it steadily.

Retracting my hand, I took a few steps back with my left hand over the sore spot in my right hand. I grinned, and a cool breath ran through my mouth.

Instead, Pumpkin stepped forward and shouted, "You two little kids, why are you here?!" ”

I rubbed my arm a few times and walked over to endure the pain.

The little girl and the little boy leaned together.

What the little boy was holding in his hand was indeed a "ghost mask", and he had just deliberately scared us. He was very handsome, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, wet hair, and looked very nervous.

The little girl next to him was shivering, standing there, teeth biting her lip, the stick in her hand still facing me and the pumpkin.

I was a little confused.

"Stomp, stomp!"

At the foot of the wall in the bedroom, two more children ran out.

It's a boy and a girl again.

The boy was obviously seven or eight years old, and although the little girl was dressed in children's clothes and had a round face, there was no hair on the top of her head.

I don't know what's going on, but the bald little girl's lips are dry and she looks like she's sick.

"Don't arrest us back, okay, we're going to stay here! ... She doesn't want to get any more injections, she doesn't have a sick ......"

The little girl with the mop pole in her hand, probably knowing that she was no match for the two of us, cried and begged us.

Neither Pumpkin nor I understood the little girl's words.

We're not bad guys, what are we going to do with them?

As soon as the little girl finished speaking, the other bald girl began to cry.

Good guys, that's not going to happen, I made two of them cry first.

Pumpkin looked at me and asked awkwardly, "Brother Qin, what should I do now?" ”

I pursed my lips and replied unhappily, "Cold salad!" ”

At the same time, I glanced into the bedroom a few times, but I didn't find any "samurai portrait" that Zhu Zishi was talking about.

It seems that the samurai portrait is not in the villa.

And by the bedroom window, there is clearly a lot of garbage.

It's clear that these little ghosts have been here for a few days.

The location of the window opening is exactly the same as the position of the figure flashing in front of the window that Pumpkin saw earlier. In that case, the figure that flashed by was one of the children.

"Woooooooooooo ......”

The little boy with the demon mask and the bald girl were crying.

I listened to the crying, and I was a little bored in my heart, so I pretended to be fierce and shouted, "All right! You stop...... Don't cry! ... Cry again, believe it or not, I'll take you away now. ”

But the more I said that, the louder the little boy and the bald girl wept.

Oh yes! What the hell is it.

I thought that when I came to Zhu Zishi's villa, maybe I would have a fierce battle with that samurai ghost, but I didn't expect that there was no vicious battle, but I was almost scared to death by these strange children.

The point is that they kept crying, which upset me.

Fortunately, the pumpkin was a little stronger than me, and her gaze became gentle.

He bowed down, first to comfort the little boy with the demon face in his hand, and then to comfort the bald little girl. Comforted by the pumpkin, they finally quieted down.

Pumpkin also asked about their ages.

Ya, the eldest little girl, the one with the mop pole, she was just thirteen years old. The bald girl was the same age as the little boy with the demon mask in his hand, only ten years old. The youngest kid, he's only seven years old.

Pumpkin called the eldest little girl, Zhu Huanhuan, to her and said to her, "Little sister, don't be afraid, we are not here to arrest you." We're here...... The owner's friend here came here to take a look, but I didn't expect you to be here. ”

"Can you tell Big Brother what the hell is going on? How did you end up here? ”

Pumpkin has a soft gaze and a soft voice, as if he has become a loving "big brother".

In my eyes, this is a big surprise.

Belch!

The pumpkin still has such a "gentle" side, which really impresses me.

I stood aside and lit a cigarette without interjecting.

Zhu Zishi was probably also afraid of scaring those children, so he whispered to me: "Xiaodao Chief, you let me out first." I went to look for the samurai portrait, and maybe the 'samurai portrait' was hidden by itself. ”

Hide yourself? It's also possible.

After all, there is a ghost hidden inside the samurai portrait.

But it's not time to let Zhu Zishi come out, after all, those children are still in the bedroom.

"Wait until the pumpkin calms those kids."

Zhu Zishi didn't say anything more.

After smoking a cigarette, I went back into the bedroom.

Pumpkin was still talking to the kids. I don't know how he did it, but he still has a few pieces of White Rabbit Milk Candy on his body. Oh yes, he's really childlike.

I walked around the bedroom twice and looked around.

The little boy with the demon mask in his hand stared at me with wary eyes, as if he didn't think I was a good person.

I touched my handsome face, and I felt unhappy for a while. Am I so unlikable to children?

All right! I admit it.

On the opposite side of the bed in the bedroom, there is a nail.

The wall behind the nails is noticeably whiter than elsewhere. It seems that the "samurai portrait" must be hanging there.

But Zhu Zishi's words, my master Ma Hongji told me, can't believe them all. After all, those are all Zhu Zishi's words. Whether the "samurai ghost" really killed him still needs to be verified.

So, I pulled out a glass bottle of rootless water from my shoulder.

The rootless water was also left to me by my master Ma Hongji.

It doesn't just refer to a type of water, but "really has no roots". The so-called rootless water is formed by the fusion of four types of "water", namely dew, snow, frost and rain.

Therefore, rootless water also has another name, called "Tianshui".

It can be used as a solution for making cinnabar water, and it can also make the evil energy on the ghosts manifest. However, if you want rootless water to play a real role, you can't have any "dirt" when collecting and making it.

With filth, rootless water becomes useless.

I opened the glass bottle, dipped it in yellow paper, and smeared the rootless water on the wall where the portrait had been hung.

In the beginning, the walls didn't change much.

But in just five or six minutes, the silhouette of a human figure appeared at the place where the painting had been hung on the wall.

And the silhouette of the human figure seemed to be dyed with ink, and it became a black patch.

Seeing this scene, I have basically determined that there is indeed a ghost hidden in the "samurai portrait" mentioned by Zhu Zishi.

It is precisely because the ghost exists in the portrait and is eroded by the evil qi that the wall behind the frame becomes black and mush, and is revealed by rootless water, and a humanoid silhouette appears.
