I was woken up by the sound of rats gnawing at hard objects, and when I opened my eyes, it was pitch black, and the first reaction in my mind was - weren't we taking a nap, why was it suddenly nighttime?

The second reaction was - someone should be on duty, why didn't anyone wake me up?

The rain seemed to have stopped, and there was silence, only the gnawing sound became clearer. org

There was an indescribable smell of decay in the air, and there seemed to be a few clouds of cold air circling around me, and my skin was irritated with goosebumps.

I slept in the same room as the old knife, and when I touched the side, I touched the old knife's arm, but I screamed and pushed, but the old knife still didn't wake up, but sounded a soft snoring sound.

When I heard the snoring, I suddenly withdrew my hand!

Because I suddenly thought of a question - the "person" next to me who was snoring, or was he not an old knife?

Why do I wake up only after I have slept until now?

What time is it?

Am I still in that room?

……

Everything is incomprehensibly weird.

Despite the darkness in front of me, I still opened my eyes in vain, then quietly took out my phone from my trouser pocket, held it up in front of me, and suddenly pressed the wake button!

The cold light of the blue and white screen instantly illuminated everything around me.

And my whole body froze suddenly, and cold sweat suddenly seeped all over my back!

Three heads!

Three human heads floating in mid-air were circling around my body!

It is the head of the village elder Heitou, Heiba, and Sister-in-law Li!

The three heads were closed, the skin on their faces was thick black, and the necks were dripping with black oil, and these black oil-like things were dripping on the quilt, corroding a big hole!

As if awakened by the sudden light of the mobile phone, the three heads suddenly retreated half a meter away, and suddenly opened their eyes-

Among them, the old black head grinned and a terrifying smile appeared on his face;

Kurohachi's mouth grew up, and red blood flowed from his eyes;

Sister-in-law Li is the most terrifying - her eyes are actually two empty holes, she opened her mouth, and from the holes in her mouth and eyes, countless small black beetles suddenly crawled out!

Those black beetles poured down like a waterfall, and in the blink of an eye, they covered the little half of the bed!

As soon as the black beetle crawled onto the bed, the sound of gnawing at hard objects that I had heard before began to sound again in a dense manner—it turned out that it was not a mouse, but the sound of the black beetle.

Even though I have seen a lot of information, my scalp can't help but tingle, especially now that I can't tell if I'm stuck in a dream or something, or in the real world.

And this will greatly influence my judgments and decisions.

I glanced to the side, and saw that the old knife was still lying next to me, and the black beetles were almost crawling on his face, but he hadn't even woken up - as if sensing my movements, the head of the black eight immediately flew to this side, blocking between me and the old knife.

I gritted my teeth and swung my fist at Kurohachi's head, but Kurohachi didn't dodge or dodge, but opened his mouth and bit at my fist.

I turned my straight fist into a sweep, and I knocked Black Eight away at once, only to see Black Eight's head swept away for me, and hit the wall on the other side with a "bang".

The old knife slept on the inside of the bed, I took the opportunity to pounce on the innermost, and then immediately turned over, and slapped the black beetle that was about to submerge the old knife's face, and slapped the old knife in the face several times, but the old knife still looked like he was asleep, and he couldn't wake up at all!

And the rest of the old black head and Sister-in-law Li's heads, both with big mouths, also rushed towards me at this time.

I kicked Sister-in-law Li away, but the old black head took a look at the gap and rushed into my arms - a mouth full of black teeth and a foul smell opened wide, and immediately aimed at my throat and bit hard!

I quickly grabbed the old black man's hair with one hand and pulled the head out, but the dead man's head was so powerful that I couldn't bear his strength at all, and in an emergency, I slammed my phone into his mouth!

"Titicaca!"

I saw a spark flash from my mobile phone, and it was bitten into pieces by the old black head with his teeth in an instant!

However, I noticed that at the moment when the spark flashed just now, a painful look flashed on the old black head's face - I remember that when I first turned on my phone, they also stepped back a little, that is, these weird human heads seem to be afraid of light?!

And I also remember that the old knife seems to have brought a strong flashlight with him!

I immediately searched for the old knife, and in the darkness at this time, there were a few roars, and then, several cold air masses suddenly appeared behind me, I knew that it was the old black head and the three of them attacked, and the movements in their hands were faster!

"Smack!"

I finally pressed the switch of the flashlight at the last moment!

A strong white circle of light suddenly enveloped the head of the old black head and Sister-in-law Li, who took the lead!

"Shhh ——”

The old black head and Sister-in-law Li opened their mouths and let out extremely terrible screams, their faces showing extremely painful expressions, and then, their bodies melted into wisps of black smoke, and finally disappeared completely.

The head of the black eight wanted to rush out of the window when he saw that the situation was not good, but I swept it away with the beam of light with a flashlight, and it also turned into black smoke in the terrible scream.

The black beetles on the bed and on the floor were also wiped out under the bright flashlight.

"Old knife! Old knives! ”

The crisis was temporarily eliminated, I didn't have time to catch my breath, and immediately tried to wake up the old knife again, but no matter how I tossed, the old knife seemed to have fainted, and there was no reaction at all, until I shone the strong flashlight directly on the old knife's face - there was finally a change!

Under the strong light, a trace of black gas visible to the naked eye emerged from the nostrils and mouth of the old knife...... When the black gas dissipated, the old knife finally groaned and woke up.

"Well, my head hurts...... Hey, why are you shining a flashlight in my eyes? ”

The old knife grumbled in his mouth, blocking the light of the flashlight with his hand.

I said, "Let's see if you're some kind of demon." ”

"Take it away! Where is there so much nonsense! Hiss - why does my brain hurt so much? The old knife propped up half of his body and looked into the room, and said in surprise, "It's dark?" How long have I been asleep and why didn't you wake me up? When is it now? ”

"Do you know that you almost never woke up from your sleep?"

I told Lao Dao what had just happened.

"That pot of stewed chicken with mountain mushrooms!" As soon as Lao Dao heard what I said, he first gasped, and then immediately slapped his thigh and scolded, "He is the first to die!" No wonder that pot of stuff was so delicious, it almost made me eat my tongue, it turned out to be drugged! Otherwise, how could I sleep like I was dead? Then again, how are you okay? ”

But before I could answer, the old knife jumped up from the bed: "Oops! Cheng Cheng and Stinky Fish, they must have also been tricked! ”

He shouted the names of Cheng Cheng and the others, but none of them received a response.

Now the rainstorm outside has completely stopped, and there is not even a single sound of insects and birds chirping around, and it seems unusually quiet.

"Quick, let's go and save them!" The old knife said urgently.

I grabbed the old knife who was about to open the door and went out, shoved him with a lighter, and told him that the monsters that appeared here seemed to have an Achilles' heel, and that was the fear of light.

In just a few moments, we were "armed".

The old knife held a lighter in his left hand, his right hand touched the holster on his waist, and I held a flashlight.

Before I left the door, I remembered something, and turned back to take out the strange acacia book "Black Town" that was pressed under my pillow, and kicked it into my arms.

Then we kicked the door open.

As far as the eye can see, it is an old mess:

The courtyard was overgrown with weeds, and weeds grew from the cracks in the floor tiles, reaching knee-high......

There were several huge and shocking cracks in the courtyard wall, from which creepers sprung up and climbed the entire wall......

Raising his hand to shine the flashlight on the top of his head, a huge spider web was lying between the beams, and on the periphery of the flashlight's aperture, there seemed to be a black shadow flashing......

A gust of wind blew, and the leaves, branches, and weeds rubbed against each other, making a rustling sound, and in this terrifying scene, it sounded like a ghost's whisper, which could not help but make people shudder.

"What, what's going on? Didn't we live in the ancestral house in the village? The old knife was blown by the yin wind and shivered.

Indeed, the scene in front of me, although it is not a ruined wall, is scary enough, making people think that they are like being in a wilderness ghost domain.

However, I have taken a closer look when I used a flashlight to shine around, and although this place is so desolate that it looks like a ghost movie scene, this pattern is really the same as the second courtyard of the Hei family's ancestral house, but its old and dilapidated degree is beyond my imagination.

No, it's not just old and dilapidated, it's also ghostly.

"Old knife, from now on, we must be very careful, you must not act indiscriminately, everything is under my command." I solemnly said to the old knife, "We shouldn't listen to that black eight, the place he brought us to is not a place where the living should come." ”

The old knife agreed without hesitation: "Okay, this kind of ghost place, of course you have the final say." ”

Seeing that the old knife agreed, I turned off the flashlight in my hand.

Why should I turn off my flashlight?

First, I'm not sure if we'll be able to get back into the car again, so this flashlight on me is the only thing I know of that has lethal effect on the monsters that appear in this house, and the electricity is limited, so of course I need to save some money.

Second, in fact, after we walked out of the room, we found that there was still a little light outside, at least we could see about three meters away from us, and the lighter in our hand could also be used as the first light source.

At that time, after lunch, the six of us were divided into 3 rooms for a nap, and the room between me and Lao Dao was in the leftmost corner of the corridor, and next door was Cheng Cheng and Liu Haijun's room.

The old knife turned on the lighter, and I kicked the door open.

The old knife held the lighter, and I followed closely behind him, slowly circling around the house, but all I saw was an empty room covered with dust and cobwebs, and Cheng Cheng and Liu Haijun were not in the room!

In the large room, there was only an empty wooden bed and a huge cabinet opposite the bed.

I touched the edge of the bed, and when I looked at my fingers, there was a thick layer of dust that had not been cleaned for years, to say the least, and on the other side was a huge cabinet covered with a red linen.

Before I could stop it, the old knife had already torn off the red cloth—

"Ahem!"

The old knife was choked by the dust on his face and coughed.

But I heard that in the coughing of the old knife, there seemed to be a strange sound mixed in, and this sound was like ...... It was like someone was smiling lowly, and it was like someone was crying and whimpering......

I suddenly looked up at the cabinet, but almost at the same time, a cold wind blew from nowhere, and the lighter in the old knife's hand was blown out at once!

However, at the moment when the ignition was extinguished, I had already seen a terrible sight:

It turned out that it was not a large cabinet, but a bogu shelf.

There are dozens of grids on the Bogu shelf, but there is no one with all kinds of antiques in the grid, but a human head!

Some of these heads have long hair and long beards, some have long hair and no beards, some have short hair and short beards, and some have no hair and beards, all of them have pure black faces, and their mouths show a mouthful of red teeth stained with blood......

Some of them were grinning, some were sneering, but their eyes were all round, and they all looked at me and the old knife with the eyes of the demons of the underworld.

My body seemed to be frozen by these vicious gazes, and I tried to move, but I couldn't move a single step.

And the cold hairs all over my body have stood up in an instant!

Darkness fell in an instant.

I distinctly heard a series of noises coming from the Bogu shelf opposite, and immediately after, countless clouds of yin wind rushed towards me and the old knife!

My heart was crossed, and I bit the tip of my tongue, and the brief pain freed me from great fear, and I immediately raised the bright flashlight in my hand and pressed the switch!

"Ahh——!!!h

Countless howls, whether pathetic, angry, desperate, or distorted, mingled into a terrifying sound wave that caused severe pain in the eardrums......

Those heads were in mid-air, shot by the bright flashlight, and there was nowhere to avoid them, and they all dried up like rot, and finally turned into wisps of black smoke and disappeared without a trace.

"I'm a god of immortals! What the fuck is this! The old knife, who witnessed all this, was dumbfounded.

All the heads were wiped out by the bright light.

I let out a breath of air that was holding in my chest, and gasped, "I escaped from these things in our room just now, and saved your life by the way—if you act as indiscriminately as you did the next time, I can't guarantee that I will be able to save you." ”

"Who the fuck knew there was such a bunch of shit behind this red cloth!" Lao Dao defended unconvinced, and seeing that my face was not good, he changed the topic and said, "Cheng Cheng and Liu Haijun are in this room, right?" Why didn't you see them? ”

"We showed up in the original room, and it stands to reason that everyone else should be the same—let's go to Li Yi and Zhou Ou's room again. Don't mess around this time! ”

Li Yi and Zhou Ou's room was also full of dust and cobwebs, and they looked like they hadn't lived for many years, and we still haven't seen any of these two living people.

"What to do? Let's look outside the house. "The old knife proposed.

I vetoed: "No, let's go to the innermost courtyard." ”

As previously explained, this ancestral house in Heijiaping is a large courtyard with three entrances before and after, a locust tree is planted in the courtyard that is extremely unlucky in my opinion, the second is the courtyard where we live, and the third is the ancestral hall.

The place we are going to is the ancestral hall.
