Chapter 238: The Woman with the Lantern (1)

Because he rarely goes out at night, Yan Junze has never brought an umbrella, and this time when he came out, he learned in advance that Mojia Village had been shrouded in fog, so Yan Junze didn't expect Fang Ning at all.

At this moment, I didn't expect to stab Lou Zi in this matter.

Looking at the thinner and thinner fog in front of him, he was still about three hundred meters away from the Merlin at the moment, although it was not far away, but it was a little troublesome to get over.

Looking around, if you don't take a straight line, you can get there by taking a roundabout route, but it just takes a little more time.

As long as you go to a foggy place, you will always end up in Merlin.

Yan Junze rested for a while, looked left and right, the backpack on his body was not very large, and if he took it off and walked on his head, he couldn't completely block his shadow.

If you take off your coat to cover the top of your head, you will also be inconspicuous and show your shadow.

After thinking about it, he still took off his coat, put his backpack back on his back, propped his coat on top of his head with both hands, saw that there was more fog in that area, and walked over cautiously and quickly.

Just hiding in the fog, little by little in the direction of Merlin, sometimes directly moving sideways, sometimes diagonally.

A few times, the shadow was exposed in the moonlight, and Fang Ning's arm could be seen reappearing, but Yan Junze had been paying attention to the movement, and immediately rushed forward and hid in the mist.

Merlin, who could enter in just a few minutes, took him about half an hour to finally rush in.

took away the coat on top of his head, looked up at the moon that was obscured by leaves, and there was also fog in this forest, double blocking, and finally avoided Fang Ning.

However, Yan Junze remembered that this place was the Merlin mentioned in this mission.

The mission informed that the lantern girl Ning Ji went out to look for her husband who left home because of a quarrel with her, but died outside, so her obsession is to keep carrying the lantern and still looking for her husband everywhere.

This woman has two forms, one is that the lantern in her hand is white, at this time she should be a normal weird, but when the lantern turns red, Ning Ji will change into a very terrifying weird.

Well, that's the resentful type.

So after entering Merlin, Yan Junze's spirit has been tense and has not relaxed.

Pay attention to whether there is a gap above your head that is exposed, and also pay attention to whether the lantern girl will appear.

However, the Lantern Girl's target should be large, and if it is to appear, he will not lose sight of the other party.

Quest hint to help the Lantern Girl find her husband by yourself. If that's the case, then you have to talk to the Lantern Girl, otherwise this old ghost who is at least 800 years old will have no historical information to verify for a long time.

Yan Junze has never been afraid of talking to weird, and his rich experience in dialogue with weirdness has been accumulated after the completion of that task.

When Jian Tong talked to him at the beginning, he went around and around, but in the end, he was obsessed with Yan Junze. Uh, although the hug in the back made Yan Junze a little disgusted.

This piece of Merlin is not very big, and after walking for a short time, Yan Junze can already vaguely see the houses opposite after passing through Merlin.

But at this time, he was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then showed a wry smile.

As far as the eye could see, after passing through Merlin and entering the area of the village to the west, the fog was even more sparse, otherwise he would not have seen the houses on the opposite side at a glance.

In this case, unless you stay in Merlin all the time, you will not be able to go to the other side at all.

After thinking about it, Yan Junze looked up at the branches here, took out a multi-purpose saber from his backpack, and prepared to cut down the branches and leaves in the vicinity, build a simple moon umbrella, and prop it up to the houses opposite.

I looked left and right, and when I entered Merlin, I didn't see the figure of the lantern girl, maybe this woman was just wandering near the forest, not necessarily in the middle of the forest.

Yan Junze chose a tree to climb up, usually he doesn't climb trees much, so his movements are very awkward, it took a lot of effort to climb a little, he barely stood on a tree lump, raised the multi-purpose saber and was about to cut the branch, his eyes glanced down.

Because he stood high and could see far away, standing here, he saw that the ground not far away was a little strange.

The fog was thinner outside, so the moonlight allowed him to see farther away, less than a hundred meters from here, in the other direction near the edge of Merlin, where the ground sloped downward, as if there was a ditch there.

Yan Junze's eyes lit up slightly, gave up continuing to look at the branches, climbed back to the ground, chose the direction he saw just now, and walked over quickly.

He soon discovered that a ditch had been dug on the edge of this Merlin.

This ditch is not very deep, but even if you stand in it and stand up completely upright, you will be blocked by the slopes on both sides, and the moon will not shine on you.

In this way, jump directly into the ditch and walk in the direction of the other end of the ditch, and soon you will enter the village to the west.

No more simple moon umbrellas.

Yan Junze smiled and looked around, but still didn't see the lantern girl.

At this moment, he doesn't have to complete this task immediately, as long as he can go to see if Zhang Xiaomo's side is still safe as soon as possible, this task can also be completed when the situation is stable or when he comes back.

And now Yan Junze doesn't know where the lantern girl is, and he doesn't want to delay more time here.

Without saying a word, he jumped into the ditch, which was almost dry, only the soles of his feet were stained with some water, and the bottom of the ditch was hardened by cement, so there was no mud sticking to the soles of his shoes.

Yan Junze looked up, and sure enough, there was no moonlight shining in, so he turned on the flashlight and walked quickly to the other end of the river.

This place was an excellent passage for him at this moment, so in order to recover the lost time just now, Yan Junze was almost trotting all the way, and soon ran to the middle of the river ditch and the village to the west.

At this moment, he slammed his foot to the brakes, quickly turned off the flashlight in his hand, and set his eyes on a distance of about ten meters from him.

There, a woman in a long white ancient dress was squatting on the ground, and a white lantern with a fire burning inside was placed aside, and the woman's hands seemed to be digging something on the ground.

Yan Junze almost held his breath for a moment, and with just a glance, he recognized the woman in front of him as the lantern girl.

Unexpectedly, the Lantern Girl was not in Merlin, but also walked out along the ditch in the same way as herself.

And looking at the woman squatting there, it seems to be digging the soil of the rock wall of the river ditch.

The mission says that she has been looking for her husband, has she already found out? The body of his father-in-law is in the dirt of the rock wall?

If that's the case, Yan Junze plans to sing Liangliang.

If the Lantern Girl completes her obsession by herself, he will not be able to take on this task.

But the ditch in front of her was very narrow, and the lantern girl was squatting there, almost blocking most of the passage, and if she wanted to go through, she had to lift one foot.

But this is bound to disturb the Lantern Girl.

Yan Junze pondered for a while, and saw that the lantern girl stopped digging the soil, and her whole body leaned forward, and after a while, she slowly stood up with something in her hands.

Yan Junze hid himself at the corner of the ditch, poked his head out, and watched this scene quietly.

This woman's figure is very slender, although it is covered by a long white dress, but it can be seen that she should be a great beauty when she was alive.

However, Yan Junze's definition of the word "beauty" is completely different, and he knows very well that even if she is a beautiful woman before her death, her face after death may be scared to death.

The Lantern Girl didn't reach for the lantern on the ground, she just turned around and stared at what she was holding in both hands.

Yan Junze also looked at the thing in her hand for the first time.

It was a skull, some years old, yellowed and covered in dirt.

"She really found it herself." Yan Junze was a little regretful.

The next second, he looked up at the woman's face and shook suddenly.

Unexpectedly, the lantern girl in a white dress turned out to have a beautiful face, and in today's words, she is a beautiful woman without makeup.

Although she is also like a backgirl, her hair is smooth and smooth, not stained with even a little filth, and at this moment there are two strands of long hair on both sides of her cheeks, at first glance, it even gives people a shocking feeling.

"! It's the first time I've seen anything like this! Yan Junze was amazed in his heart.

The appearance of this lantern girl actually made him subvert the idea that weirdness is ugly and scary.

However, the next scene surprised Yan Junze again, only to see the lantern girl squeeze the skull in her hand violently, making it shatter, and then quietly picked up the lantern on the ground and came in the direction of Yan Junze's side.

"Original...... The skeleton wasn't her husband. Yan Junze reacted after being stunned, he immediately wanted to retreat, but after thinking about it, he would still be seen by the lantern girl if he went back at this moment, so it was better to stand here and act at the opportunity.

The lantern girl walked very steadily, and her upper body barely moved, but her feet in the skirt walked forward very steadily, and she soon approached Yan Junze.

Yan Junze looked down and found that the lantern girl was almost hanging in the air, the toes of her feet only occasionally touched the ground, and the lantern was held in front of her, as if she was being led by the lantern. Her walking movements looked weird, but they exuded an indescribable sense of grace.

The lantern girl walked to the corner of the ditch and collided with Yan Junze.

At close range, Yan Junze saw her face even more really, under the reflection of the lights in the lantern, it didn't look weird, but like a living person.

The Lantern Girl raised her eyes slightly, glanced at him, and did not speak, but did not stop at her feet in the process, and walked forward.

With close proximity and eye contact, Yan Junze's heart was pounding, and he didn't know when this woman would go crazy. I didn't know that the other party actually staggered with me, and nothing happened.

After the lantern girl walked over, Yan Junze's nervousness calmed down slightly, and he secretly wondered if he would complete the task at this moment. As he thought, he walked forward.

At this moment, the lantern girl suddenly stopped, turned around with the lantern, and said to Yan Junze, "Please wait." ”

Yan Junze was stunned for a moment, then turned around and looked at her with some vigilance.

"Excuse me, have you seen my husband?" The Lantern Girl asked.
