Chapter 136: Looking for the Imp
Master Hongyu and Lu Liansheng took me to the residence of the former little ghost keeper, and asked me to go upstairs to see if I could find the little ghost that I couldn't take away.
I don't know how they knew there were imps here, but I didn't feel cold at all.
But I was even more surprised when the Venerable Master said that they had probably become one with the place.
Seeing that I still didn't feel anything unusual, the Venerable Master Hongyu lit the white candles, and for a moment, the whole hall was shrouded in a hazy blur, which made people feel a sense of fear in their hearts.
I wanted him not to light those scary candles, but the Venerable Master asked me with surprise if I was feeling anything.
"No, I don't feel anything, I'm just scared by you." I yelled at him with a sad face.
"Oh, you're scared!" The Venerable Master looked at me strangely, as if I shouldn't be afraid.
"It's human instinct to be afraid, I'm a girl." I yelled at him.
At this time, Lu Liansheng walked up, and when he saw me yelling loudly at the Venerable Master Hongyu, he was a little unhappy: "What are you yelling, there are ghosts that scare you away." ”
Does he have a point, I will scare the ghosts, how do I think that a ghost hunter like him will scare the ghosts away?
The Venerable Master waved his hand and told the two of us not to quarrel, and led us downstairs.
Lu Liansheng went upstairs later, he walked in front of me, and I naturally became the one who walked behind.
Just as I reached the top of the stairs, I felt a shadow flash behind me, and when I looked back, I saw nothing but the faltering candle.
As I walked down the stairs, I told the Venerable Master Hongyu about the situation: "Master, when I was at the top of the stairs, I felt something flashing behind me, but I didn't see anything, only the candles swaying there. ”
When Lu Liansheng heard my words, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately turned around and passed past me, and went straight upstairs.
Just as I looked back at him, I saw the reflection of his feet on the steps, not one but two.
I put my hand over my mouth in fear and almost cried out.
When I looked down the stairs again, I saw that my reflection was two.
The Venerable Master looked at me strangely, and he was startled when his gaze followed mine.
He reached out and pulled out a ball of red cord from his bag, tied one end to my right wrist, and held the rest in his hand.
I looked at the red thread rope, how did I look like I was tied up, this awkward in my heart, but I knew that he was doing it for my good, and it was not good to show that he was unwilling to come.
As he walked upstairs, he took out another bronze mirror from his bag, one side of which was carved with delicate patterns, and a small gossip diagram was drawn in the center of one side, and a gossip symbol was drawn with red lines on the outer circle.
I looked at the bronze mirror in his hand and followed him, trying to see what it was and how to use it.
As soon as Master Hongyu reached the top of the stairs, he heard Lu Liansheng shouting, "Don't come here." ”
The Venerable Master Hongyu was standing there at once, and I was about to move my feet up the stairs when I stopped there and looked upstairs, and what I could see most was the back of the Venerable Master.
The Venerable Master Hongyu did not look back, but lowered his voice and told me to go downstairs and wait.
My heart itched so much, why can't I see how they subdue the demons, but I also know that I'm probably getting in the way of them here.
In desperation, I turned and walked downstairs, and when I saw the red rope hanging from the mirror steps, I whispered to the Venerable Master, "There are three shadows in the mirror now." ”
The red thread rope trembled visibly, and my heart tensed.
At this time, there was a roar of Lu Liansheng upstairs, followed by the sound of things being smashed, and I stopped on the stairs, not knowing whether to go up to help or continue to walk down.
The Venerable Master had already walked into the staircase, and all that was left at the top of the staircase was the red thread attached to my wrist.
I hesitated to descend the stairs and stood at the top of the stairs looking up, hoping to see the two of them come out safely.
Suddenly, my wrist tightened, and the red rope suddenly tightened, and I hurriedly grabbed the rope with my hand and wrapped it around the handrail of the staircase, which was also inlaid with mirrors, and the handrail of the staircase was also reflected in a quadruple shadow.
I looked up at the upstairs, thinking to myself that the Venerable Master Hongyu had just said that there should be two female ghosts here.
Now every time the two of them go up, there is an additional shadow on it, so it seems that every time a person or a ghost goes up, there will be an additional shadow.
But how does this mirror do it, and isn't it supposed to be a true reflection of what is opposed to it?
I looked up at the mirrored ceiling, where there were barely any gaps in the inlay.
The quadruple shadow, which I hadn't seen last time I was here, wasn't there someone upstairs at that time?
No, the situation has changed here! I said to myself in my mind, my eyes wandering around, trying to find the difference from the last time I came.
But what could such a mirror-clad hall be hidden?
At this time, the red line rope was tightened, but fortunately, I had the foresight to wrap the red line rope around the handrail of the stairs, or I was afraid that my small body would have to be dragged upstairs.
I was rejoicing in the handrail of the staircase, but I felt the handrail turn slightly.
I panicked and let go of the handrail of the staircase, and saw that it was actually turning, and the scene in the hall was also turning.
Soon it was dark, black and hollow, and gradually white candles flickered and lit up around me, and the scene was as terrifying as the one upstairs.
Looking at the red rope in my hand, it was wrapped around a staircase handrail in the hall upstairs, and the staircase was no longer above me, but at my feet, and the handrail was no longer inlaid with mirrors, but only white stone.
Mirrors, there were no mirrors upstairs, and I was churning in my heart as I jerked open my backpack and took out my little makeup mirror.
When I looked in the mirror, I saw only one shadow in the mirror, not several overlapping ones.
I was about to breathe a sigh of relief, when I suddenly found a woman dressed in white standing behind me, her pale face hidden by long black hair, revealing blood-red lips.
I didn't dare to look back, but used all my strength to roar: "Who are you? ”
"I'm Wu Xiaoyu, Liu Xiaoxiao's former college roommate." The female ghost said to me in a hoarse voice.
"You, you didn't run away?" I stared in the mirror, still afraid to look back at her.
"Escape, where can I be, not only can I not escape, but Ginny, who was tricked in by me, can't leave here alive, it's all my fault, I was accidentally tricked here, and as a result, everyone was harmed." As she spoke, it seemed like two tears had on her face.
"Who, who lied to you?" I shouted in an air.
"It's me." A feeble voice rang out.
My makeup mirror was too small to see the speaker from there, so I instinctively turned around and saw a female ghost in white floating behind Xiao Yu.
Both of them look similar, except that Wu Xiaoyu's long hair is straight, and the person is curved, as if he has been permed with curls.
"Who are you?" I looked at the female ghost in horror.
"She's my aunt, she was tricked into coming here first, and then she tricked me into coming here, and I brought Ginny." Wu Xiaoyu pointed at the female ghost in frustration.
The female ghost threw her head back in anger, revealing two black holes that were supposed to be her eyes, and there were dark red blood clots in them.
I was so frightened that I wanted to step back, but the red cord in my hand was holding me and I couldn't get out of this position, and that's when I felt my stupidity, didn't I tie myself to the handrail of this staircase.
"If you want to complain, blame those liars, don't blame me, how would I know that this is the case, if I knew that they just wanted to raise ghosts, I wouldn't let you come." Wu Xiaoyu's aunt was in a hurry.
"Don't you know that there is no responsibility, now we are both trapped here, and even Ginny has lost her life, this is human life!" Wu Xiaoyu shouted with a crying voice.
I don't know what's so special about the two of them, why those who raise ghosts have to have their ghosts, I know that not all ghosts are suitable for raising ghosts.
But the two ghosts quarreled there, and the more they quarreled, the more fierce they became, so much so that I couldn't listen to them anymore.
I stretched out my left hand and took out the small gourd from my pocket, opened the mouth of the small gourd, and shouted "receive" to the two of them.
I sighed, if the two of them hadn't quarreled like this, maybe I wouldn't have had a chance to take out the gourd to collect them, which shows that internal unity is very important.
After accepting the two of them, I had nothing to worry about, so I thought about untying the red thread rope tied to my wrist, and suddenly the voice of the dead ghost Li Yuchi sounded in my ears: "Don't move, you stupid girl." ”
I was startled, and I was stunned with the red cord in my hand.
The red cord tightened and tightened, and I realized that the matter was not over, and a new situation had emerged.
I prayed in my heart, this time it won't be too scary, my sister's little heart can't stand it a little, and I'm going to cry if I do it again.
The white candle flickered on and off, and the orange candle flame turned a faint blue-purple from time to time, but it didn't take long for it to return to orange again.
The change in the candle flame made the darkness even more terrifying.
By this time I had untied the red cord from the handrail of the staircase, but I did not dare to untie it from my wrist, and so, like a prisoner with the reins, groped my way down the stairs in the dark.
What makes me shudder is that this is not a world of mirrors, but a humid area, and the cold moisture gradually soaks into people's skin, making people feel a chill to the bone.
This is what I felt when I first came to this villa, and it is exactly what the Master Hongyu said should be the smell of a corpse.
