Chapter 45: Is Anyone Here?
The old landlady hugged her granddaughter tightly and shrunk in the far corner of the room, their pupils widened, and they looked nervously at the locked door.
Because at this moment there was a knock at the door.
On the first night of Wang Hong's return to the village, everyone knew to hide in the house, but at this moment there was a knock on the door, which startled the old lady and granddaughter of the landlord in the house.
The two did not dare to answer, and shrank in the corner.
And the strange thing is that the person knocking on the door outside the house did not speak.
In the silent night, I kept knocking on the door panel gently, and I didn't seem to be eager at all, but I knocked unhurriedly, very regularly.
It's as if he didn't knock on the door to get the people in the house to open it for him, but as if he was deliberately knocking to play.
The person who knocked on the door did not speak, and the old lady and granddaughter of the landlady did not dare to open the door in response, because they had no idea whether it was a person or something else who was knocking on the door outside the house.
After knocking for a few minutes, it seemed that the thing knocking outside the door finally got tired of playing and said the first word.
"Is anyone there......"
The voice is weird, I can't hear men and women at all, and it doesn't even look like a human voice, like something can imitate human beings.
This sound made the landlady, the old lady and the granddaughter in the house break out in a cold sweat.
The knock on the door began to quicken, and the thing outside seemed to crouch down suddenly, and the moonlight entered the room through the crack in the door that had been obscured.
The thing must have been lying on the door panel, looking into the room through the gap in the wooden panels.
The face was pressed against the door panel, and a pair of blood-red eyes appeared in the large gap under the door panel, which was not a pair of eyes at all, flashing red in the darkness, and the voice sounded outside the door again.
"Is anyone there? No one, so I came in. ”
The sound is even more eerie.
"Ah!!h
The granddaughter in the old lady's arms of the landlady finally couldn't help but let out a scream, although the old lady tried her best to stop it, she couldn't cover her granddaughter's mouth.
The frightened girl's voice was so harsh in the silent night, and it could be heard far away.
There was a violent sound like a squeeze into the door.
The old lady of the landlady and the granddaughter in her arms looked at something like a black shadow in horror, and forced their way into the room through the crack in the door under the door panel, and the black body was like a boneless, and forced a head into the room.
When she saw that head, the old landlady couldn't help it, and let out a piercing sound of horror with her granddaughter.
"Ahh!!h
Although it was a person's head, it was pitch black, as if it had been doused with black paint, and the head was standing upside down on the ground, with red eyes underneath, and the facial features of the nose and mouth could be vaguely seen.
And the head was stretched forward, as if trying to pull the body outside the door into the room.
"So there's someone in the house."
The head was very happy to see the old lady and granddaughter of the landlady who were cowering in the corner of the house, and the corners of his mouth grinned in a huge arc, all the way to the eyes, which was weirdly scary.
"Ahh!!h
The old lady and granddaughter of the landlord completely collapsed, screaming and screaming, and even tears came out.
The black arm was outstretched and climbed on the ground, and the upper body of the black shadow humanoid had already burrowed into the room.
And its head was still holding the upside-down angle, as if it was deliberately scaring the landlady and her granddaughter, and its dark body was close to the ground, slowly crawling towards the two people who were cowering in the corner of the house.
However, at this moment, a flame rose in the arms of the old lady and granddaughter of the landlady, and the flame glowed red and yellow through the clothes, and the magic was that the clothes were useless when they were burned at all.
But the two of them, who were in a completely frightened state, only danced and screamed, and did not notice the abnormality in their arms.
And the originally strange black shadow, after seeing the red and yellow flames, let out a violent horror as if it had seen a ghost, more harsh than the voices of the landlady and her granddaughter, and the body that burrowed into the house began to shrink back desperately.
"Ahh!!h
"Ahh!!h
"Ah...... Yes? The old lady and granddaughter of the landlady stopped screaming, and looked at the black shadow in a bit of a daze, only to see that his arms were propping up on the ground, and his body was desperately squeezing out, as if he was in a hurry.
"Huh?" After stopping dancing, the granddaughter of the old landlady noticed the abnormality in her arms.
Although the flames did not burn the clothes, and there was no burning pain, seeing the fire burning in her arms, the granddaughter of the old lady of the landlady instinctively ripped off her clothes and quickly put out the burning things in her inner pocket.
It was a yellow talisman paper, burning at the moment, emitting red and yellow flames, but in her hand, the granddaughter of the old landlady could not feel the burning sensation at all.
It didn't seem like the flames would hurt her.
Looking at the flame in her hand with some confusion, and then at the black shadow who was desperately squeezing her body out, the granddaughter of the old lady of the landlady took the burning talisman paper in her hand and leaned forward tentatively.
The landlady wanted to stop her granddaughter's move, which seemed to her to be a bit dangerous, but the black shadow's reaction was violently abnormal.
"Ah!! Don't come, don't come! The black shadow seemed to be extremely afraid of the flames, and his men moved much faster, and their bodies squeezed out desperately.
The granddaughter of the old lady of the landlady took a few steps forward, and she didn't dare to go any further, because the psychological shadow caused by the black shadow just now was too great, even if she had the burning talisman paper that the black shadow was afraid of at this moment, she didn't dare to get too close to the black shadow.
Just watching the rune paper in her hand continue to burn, most of it has been burned and is about to be burned, the granddaughter of the old lady of the landlady immediately has the courage to throw the burning rune paper towards the black shadow.
"Ahh!!h The black shadow let out an even more terrifying scream, as if something terrible was about to happen.
The red-yellow flame crossed a curve in mid-air, the rune paper burned rapidly, the flame gradually weakened, and by the time the rune paper hit the ground, the red-yellow flame had been extinguished, and there was only a smear of ashes on the ground.
Strangely, the dark shadow on the ground next to the door also disappeared.
The old lady and granddaughter of the landlady took a step back in fear, as if she had seen something terrible.
Because when the burning rune paper streaked through the air, she saw a strange scene through the red and yellow flames.
The black shadow's upside-down head became calm, the fear on his face gradually dissipated, no longer screaming in fear, his mouth grinned, until the strange smile in the corner of his eye appeared again, as if he was laughing, as if he was playing.
His mouth opened and he spoke silently.
"Is it fun? Gremlin. ”
Then the rune paper hit the ground and the red and yellow flames vanished a second before they vanished.
"It, it's not afraid of this rune paper at all!!" Cold sweat ran down her neck, and the granddaughter of the old lady of the landlady took a step back in fear.
