Chapter 16: The Omen

Wang Xu walked on an empty road, the hazy moonlight wrapped around the surface of the earth, but it was still very dark around him.

There is a sense of incongruity here, which is indescribable, in short, it makes Wang Xu very uncomfortable, and his perception is weakened to the point of almost disappearing. Therefore, he relies more on his five senses to observe the environment around him.

The road is not too wide, the ground is like rock and sand when stepped on, and the buildings on both sides of the road remind Wang Xu of the American Western, with iconic decorations such as porches and sinks at the front of the building, as well as the small sliding doors that are standard in western bars (in the past, the architectural design of the American West was very practical, such as the pillars in front of the porch can be tied to the horse, and then the sink is used for the horse to drink, as for the kind of door of the bar...... Obviously, if you put a very nice ordinary door, it will be broken when the cowboys throw someone out after a fight in a bar).

Wang Xu continued to walk forward, and he found that this place, which seemed to be a small town, did not have the breath of a living person, and the houses by the road were full of ghosts, but there was no spiritual sense to detect.

Eventually, he came to the church in the center of the town, and when he opened the door, it was still empty, and strangely enough, the statue in the middle of the church was missing, there was no serene Madonna, no handsome man on the cross, only the base of the statue on the altar.

Wang Xu walked out of the church and looked around again, wanting to see where else he had not walked. Suddenly, he saw a piece of high ground not far to the west of the town, and on top of it, a villa in the classical English style jumped into his eyes.

It was a strange sight, as if Count Dracula's castle had flown from Europe to the desert of the western United States, but Wang Xu felt that what he saw was not a mirage, because in the moonlight, the eerie aura of the big house could be felt even by people without spiritual sense.

Wang Xu found a winding path at the edge of the town, and along the way, he walked into a small forest. It is not surprising that there is such a forest next to a desert town, because there is usually a water source near the place where people live, and where there is water, there are plants, and to build a house, you have to cut down trees. But soon something strange happened again, and something seemed wrong with the forest......

Wang Xu had walked into the grove for more than ten minutes, not to mention the hot and humid feeling, the terrible thing was that the trees around him did not give him the feeling of plants, but a bit like living things, or rather, once alive......

The putrid smell of corpses came from those trees, stimulating Wang Xu's sense of smell, and ordinary people would probably vomit a long time ago, but Wang Otaku had seen some disgusting scenes after all, and he was crazy, except for frowning slightly, he didn't show much discomfort and fear.

Just when Wang Xu doubted whether he was walking in the small forest or trekking in the Great Xing'an Mountains, this forest finally came to an end. In front of you, there is the high ground, and the sloping pavement zigzags upwards to lead to the grotesque old house.

Wang Xu continued walking, and he found that the high ground was even higher than he had imagined, and when he reached the top building, he realized that this was a cliff with only one way out.

Looking back at the town just now, it seems that it is not far away, and the woods still look sparse and thin from a high place, I really don't know why I have a feeling of walking into a dense forest just now.

Looking up at the big house in front of him, standing close to the edge of the cliff, Wang Xu thought in his heart, the owner of this house is not afraid of falling out of the window and dying when it rains to collect clothes?

At this time, Wang Xu's eyes were suddenly attracted by a well, this well is actually nothing special, but the question is its location, why is there a well on the cliff heights?

Even if Wang Xu's geographical knowledge is poor, he thinks this is an unlikely thing, in such a high place, it is not strange that there is a river, but the well is a thing, through the groundwater, around this large plain, only your highland stands out, so how deep is your well? The vertical distance up and down must at least count the sea level difference in this place, right? I don't think the rope at the head of your well can be used to support the height of the mountain, right? Did you have an underground reservoir built into the mountain under your house?

Suddenly, he heard only a strange "crunch" sound, which interrupted Wang Xu's train of thought, and his eyes looked towards the place where the sound came from, it was from a window on the second floor, and five dry wood-like fingers were slowly cutting through the glass with their nails, and the palms were still stained with blood.

Wang Xu couldn't see the scene in the house, only knew that this was not a good sign, if there was a living person in this house who was begging for help, it meant that there was probably some more evil thing that was acting against him, and if this paw was a dead man, then the situation was simpler...... Isn't it just going in and playing with it, and it's not a day or two to do this.

So Wang Xu lifted his sleeves and rushed into the house, originally he wanted to kick in the door with a very handsome and domineering posture, one is to bluff others, but to give himself courage, who knows that the door is not closed at all, just hidden, Wang Xu's actions directly caused him to stumble and almost fall.

But embarrassed and embarrassed, Wang Xu is also a ghost hunter, many things seem to be very shaky when they are done, but in fact, there is a bottom in their hearts, how can they not detect the existence of spiritual consciousness in this room, it is very strange, Wang Xu has used the spiritual consciousness gathering technique when he rushed in, and he is ready to deal with sudden changes at any time.

The room was pitch black, but Wang Xu had already used spiritual vision and could see quite clearly, and it was precisely because of this that he felt that something was wrong...... It's so normal, there are no messy furniture, no blood and flesh all over the floor, and no white-haired old man in an English butler's uniform running around with his fangs bared...... In Wang Xu's initial estimate, this kind of haunted house must at least look like a murder scene, and the walls are covered with bloody handprints...... But now, everything is safe and sound, it is simply a fully furnished, fully decorated classical cottage, and it can be sold directly with a sign at the door.

However, Wang Xu didn't have time to think about it, he immediately rushed to the second floor, came to the door of the room where he had seen the vision just now, and turned the doorknob......

"Ah!!h Wang Xu woke up from a nightmare and found that his entire head was wet.

"What is it called, in the middle of the night, pay attention to the quality." The cat master stood beside Wang Xu's bed, holding a glass in his hand, but there was no water in it......

Qi Bing was also standing beside him, still expressionless.

"You're a girl! How did you get in?! Wang Xu exclaimed.

The cat scratched his hair decadently: "Of course you pry the door, could it be that you left the door for which girl?" ”

Wang Xu said: "Hey! Is this still a high-end hotel? If the door is pried, there is no alarm system? ”

"Hmph......" The cat sneered: "It is indeed equipped with a five-pin brake system and a single-circuit alarm......" His eyes showed a burst of contempt: "That's a thing to fool children......"

Wang Xu was shocked, and thought: This trick of sliding the door and picking the lock, to your level, you can basically only end your life to pry the door of the immortals......

Qi Bing interrupted them: "Hurry up, we don't have much time, something is happening here." ”

Wang Xu glanced at the clock on the wall, half past two in the morning, "This place is also haunted?" Or is there a monster in the lake outside? ”

Mao Ye said: "I don't know, but there must be something wrong, Qi Bing and I can't find any weird spiritual sense, but our spiritual ability, Dao power, etc., have been greatly weakened, I'm afraid that something we have never encountered before is playing ghosts." ”

After he said it, Wang Xu also discovered that the feeling of being limited in his perception in the dream just now still exists, he quickly jumped up, and it took more than ten seconds to get dressed, his hair was unkempt, and his eyes were not wiped, so he said with a very serious expression: "Go, go and see!" ”
