Chapter 100 Prepare to go
The silhouette of the headless girl in the black mist is becoming more and more hazy and eerie...
Faintly, its footsteps seem to be moving slightly towards me! Although it was only a few centimeters away, which was equivalent to a slow panning step, I was sure that it was getting closer to me little by little!
However, the strange thing is that her limbs have not changed in the slightest due to the movement of her body, and even the corners of her tattered clothes have not been blown by the wind to tremble a little. She is exactly like a paper man in a shadow puppet show!
A chilly chill rushed from my heels to the back of my head, making me shiver.
An unbelievably intense sense of fear filled my heart.
The thing in front of him is not the pretending "female ghost" I met before. From the refining and ruthless hand-to-hand combat skills, it can be seen that the female ghost before must have been artificially pretended, and I don't know what purpose she came to assassinate me.
But the headless girl in front of her can't be deliberately disguised. The bloody fault on the neck makes people shudder, and the needles and threads on the wrists and thighs are really crossed into the flesh.
What struck me the most was the faint white bones visible through the dark red flesh between the joints. And the middle of the bone has been broken in two. I have no doubt that without the stitching of a needle and thread, she would have broken into a pile of parts like a broken puppet!
My steps involuntarily fell backwards, and the headless girl in front of me was even more terrifying than the dark room.
Just as his right foot was about to cross the threshold, he only heard "Bang!" There was a muffled sound.
I turned my head to see that my face was dead in an instant—the solid wooden door behind me slammed shut as if someone had pushed it.
"Oops!" I hurriedly reached out to pull the doorknob, but found that the handle could turn from side to side, obviously not locked, but it seemed to be out of order, and the door could not be opened!
All I could do was feel my head buzzing, and the glass cup and backpack were all in the room! What am I going to do with my bare hands against what is in front of me?!
The headless girl's body was getting closer and closer to me, and the terrible thing was that I didn't see her lift her feet, not even the slightest fluctuation in her clothes. I don't feel the breath of a living person from her!
Her head had been cut off, and I couldn't tell her demeanor at this time, and I couldn't figure out her psychology.
All the unjust ghosts must come to the door to end the unfinished business before their lives, so they die without turning a blind eye and wandering in the sun.
But I don't know the girl in front of me at all, and she had absolutely nothing to do with her before she died, so why did she find me for no reason?!
My pale lips trembled as I tried to say something, but all I could spit out was wisps of air.
The footsteps involuntarily retreated until the back "slammed" against the solid wooden door.
My trembling right hand could no longer hold the sweaty flashlight, "Bang! "Roll down to your feet...
Now my nerves are tense to the extreme, my brain is blank, and I can't think of a single solution.
Running down the aisles to the left and right may be the only option.
But I don't know if I'll be able to get rid of her by dragging my injured thigh and running down the hallway.
In any case, there was a glimmer of hope to try, and just as I was about to take a step, I found that my legs were as heavy as lead, and I couldn't move half a step.
"Mu... Mu old-timers... What to do? I asked with a desperate turn of face towards the wooden door and the little hope I had left.
"This evil thing has a lot of resentment, don't mess with yourself, once the situation is critical, the old man will take action..."
His voice was faint, but it was loud and reassuring.
I was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, when I suddenly remembered that the demon elder of the Hades Temple had said that every time Mu Lao helped him, he would severely damage his soul, and told me not to let Mu Lao reveal his identity... Once Mu Lao can't survive in the world, then what face do I have to continue to live! What's more, as a watchman, how can you let the lamp spirit keep shooting? "No... It doesn't matter. I should be able to handle it. I secretly comforted myself not to panic, thinking that no matter what, I couldn't let Mu Lao strike again. Holding the dagger in my right hand, my whole body tightened into a spring compressed to the extreme, ready to explode and fight to the death with this girl!
The dim light of the flashlight shone upwards obliquely, illuminating only the girl's pale but cracked legs.
Vaguely, I was surprised to see her hands raised slightly! His arms were weak, his hands were drooping downward, and the thin threads on his wrists were pulled open, revealing the flesh and bones inside. If there is no needle and thread, the palm of the hand will definitely fall to the ground.
My pupils shrank suddenly, and although my vision was blurry, I could see that her arms were clearly facing in my direction!
Could it be that she is..... Came to me for your life?!
What's going on? I can touch my conscience and say that I have never done anything unreasonable, not even a chicken or duck, so why was I approached by this unjust ghost?!
Either way, the headless girl approached me little by little with her arms outstretched like a wandering ghost.
My palms were already wet from the hilt of my sword, and my teeth were chattering up and down. I knew in my heart that the dagger was useless against the evil spirit, but this was my only means.
She was only half a meter away from me, but she didn't stop moving, as if she was going to penetrate my body.
No matter! I gritted my teeth and stabbed her in the chest with a dagger in my right hand.
"Click!"
The light bulbs in the aisle suddenly glowed a blinding yellow, and the entire aisle was as bright as day.
There was nothing in front of him, no trace of the girl, as if she had never been there.
My dagger didn't touch anything hard, it was like a stab into the empty air.
I hung down my right arm in horror and turned my head to look across the aisle.
Six meters away from me stood a middle-aged woman in red pajamas, and on the wall behind her was a light bulb switch that had been pressed, which seemed to be the one she turned on.
"Oh, who turned off the lights so carelessly." She opened her mouth and yawned, muttering as she headed for the bathroom.
When he turned around, he glanced at me faintly, and frowned when he saw the dagger in my hand, but he didn't pay attention to it and continued to walk forward.
This woman should be a tenant who went to the toilet in the middle of the night, but fortunately she turned on the light, otherwise I would have been strangled to death by this female ghost!
"Well, is this luck or bad luck?" I smiled wryly as I turned to open the door.
The doorknob is working fine and it looks like everything is back to normal.
I fumbled with the switch on the wall, and it didn't take much effort, it seemed that it was indeed evil.
The room suddenly lit up. My hanging heart finally landed.
What happened tonight was too strange, and the strange thing has not been interrupted since the moment he walked out of Qianjin High School.
I lifted the glass cup on the floor and gently placed it on the bed.
"Senior Mu, can you see what the female ghost is about?"
The wick of the dark glass lamp flickered slightly, piercing a thick voice,
"Judging from the breath, the female ghost has been dead for no more than a month, her resentment has not yet melted, and she refuses to go to the underworld to be reincarnated, so there must be something lingering in the world."
I bowed my head slightly, looking at her dismembered horrific appearance, it was obvious that she had died a tragic death, and it would definitely not be so easy to dissolve the hatred.
"Then she... Why did you come to me?"
"Idiot!" Mu Lao drank me angrily, "The old man has always told you not to panic in case of trouble, but what are you scared of!" I didn't see the situation in front of me at all. ”
"Huh...?" I blinked awkwardly, confused, of course. "What do you mean..."
Mu Lao said in a deep voice: "Where did you see that she was going to harm you?!" If the devil really wants to harm you, do you really think you can still stand here and talk and laugh?"
"She... You're not here to kill me?" My heart shuddered, and I thought about what had just happened. I didn't seem to be in any danger to my life, I was just scared half to death.
Mu Lao then said: "The old man thought that she was a murderous ghost at first, but he found that the ghost retreated when he saw the light, and he didn't want to disturb other ordinary people, why should you think about it?"
"Well," I stretched out my right hand and rubbed my chin gently, "Could it be... This ghost is coming for me?"
But she and I don't interfere with the water of the river... What did she come to me for? Why not find someone else... Is there anything special about me?
That's right! I slapped my palms and woke up suddenly, I'm a watchman! Mastering the secret art of Qimen that no one else has, she came to me... Is it asking me?!
"You're not too stupid." Mu Lao said softly, "She obviously wants to tell you something, but it is difficult for people and ghosts to communicate after all, so she has no choice but to retreat." ”
That's right... I pursed my lips, determined to see things calmly in the future.
After the violently heaving chest eased, I carefully recalled all the strange things that happened after I came to Hannam City, and suddenly noticed a coincidence!
I remember when I first arrived in Hannam, I met a ghost on the highway who was desperately chasing me in the dark. I was scared and didn't think much about it, and I quickly forgot about it.
After getting into the taxi, the driver said that a girl from the former Jin High School was brutally murdered after school, and the murderer's method was to dismember her! Until now, the most critical head has not been found!
The girl I met a few minutes ago had her limbs stitched together, and best of all, she didn't have a head either!
I swallowed and foamed unconsciously, that girl... Could it be the dismembered people?! Maybe she saw that I wasn't a human being when she met me on the road, and she followed me all the time... She came to me... What is going on?
Just as I was deep in thought, Mu Lao Rin said, "Little ghost, is your trust still sufficient?" ”
"Oh, I made another twenty or thirty on the task I did this time, and it should be enough to add the previous one." I replied truthfully.
"Then you should go to the Hades Temple now and buy some high-potency pills to treat your injuries. Also, don't forget to buy some artifacts like fighting ghosts and corpses to prepare for the mission after dawn!"
"Hmm." I nodded, took off my shoes and sat on the bed.
The moment I closed my eyes, I realized that all the mysteries could only be revealed after going to Qianjin High School again!
