Chapter 59, the ghost of the ruins of Mapo's house
In the small town of Green in November, the wind was a little cold at night, and in front of a small cabin in the north of the town, two young girls were laughing heartily, and at the same time, there was a little girl with glasses whose face was flushed, as if something embarrassing had just happened.
"What's wrong, Betsy. What's wrong with Gavin?hahahaha!"
I looked at Gavin who had just opened the door and covered my mouth and laughed at Betsy, although I didn't believe that Gavin could detect today's anomaly.
"Hmph, don't say anything, I'm wrong, let's go!"
The silver-haired little Lori snorted coldly, glanced at Jiawen who was standing in front of the door unpleasantly, and turned around and walked towards me.
Shaking his head a little amusedly, I beckoned Bonnie and Gavin, who was staying by the door, to hurry up and follow, the hour was not too early.
.......
Under the cold moonlight, three small and one large four figures walked quickly through the streets of the town, looking a little sneaky.
"What we do know is that the other party is currently living in the Grimm Tavern on the east side of the town, so obviously the other party will start from the tavern first, and the other party's destination is to enter the East Hill of the Grimm Forest, and at the same time want to hide people's eyes, then we should go straight through three streets from the Alley on the corner of the town tavern, and turn left to the desolate Mapo's house in the northeast corner of the town, after all, Mapo's house is close to the Greenforest and more importantly, it is in the direction of the greedy wolf, so we hurry up, it is best to wait for the rabbit. ”
The silver-haired Betsy pushed the frame of her glasses, looked up at the sky, pointed to the unusually bright star in the northeast of the sky, and said to us with a cold and mysterious expression.
I have to admit that taking Bethel Lai was indeed the right choice, if I did, I would definitely not have thought about it so much, worthy of a girl who has read a book.
At night, four ghostly figures meandered through the town, and soon came to a corner of the northeast of the town.
The northeastern part of the town, bare, full of ruined ruins and tall bushes, is the home of the legendary mapo and our destination.
"Well, do we have to come to this kind of eerie place?"
Just as we were cautiously lying in the ruins, Jiawen's timid voice came softly, and the three women under the startled rain got goosebumps.
"Nonsense, of course I'm coming, of course I'm going to come over and see such an exciting thing, think about those rich people, which one is not in the dark moon and the wind is high, a trick is black and black, and the bicycle becomes a motorcycle, this time I'm Arya will definitely make a lot of money." ”
Before I could reprimand Gavin for not speaking suddenly, Bonnie, whose eyes were shining in the night, startled me again.
"That's it, I haven't seen a real ghost yet, the legend of Mapo has been circulating in the town for so long, but in fact, no one has really seen it, it's all a lie. If, I mean, if we can actually see it, you think about it, how exciting it would be!"
Yes, Mapo is not a human, but a ghost legend that has been circulating in the town for a long time, and there are many powerful people among the adventurers who come and go, who want to find out the true face of Mapo, but without exception they do not find it, and they are all sure that they really feel the feeling of being watched.
On this big night, as an outstanding socialist young woman born in a new society and raised under the red flag, how can I be frightened by this false ghost story.
Syllable~
I slapped Betsy on the back of the head, the bear kid has been spoiled by me lately.
"What nonsense, there are so many ghosts in this world, clean yourself and scare yourself. This dark and eerie appearance of blind fire, don't talk nonsense and scare yourself. Look at how scared Bonnie is by you. ”
Betsy looked at Bonnie, whose excited eyes were shining, and then at me, who was frightened and angry, and had to pout her lips aggrievedly and pretend to be pitiful.
Sou~
A gust of cold wind came, and an inexplicable strange feeling of being peeped at came to my heart, and I tightened my right hand on the holy sword, took a deep breath to calm down some nervousness, and I continued to walk forward.
Meow ~ rub ~ In an instant, goosebumps spread all over my body, and a brilliant sword light flashed in the night, and with lightning speed, I pulled out the holy sword in my hand and pointed diagonally at a tall bush directly in front of me.
"Someone, come out for me!"
Buzzing~
The bushes shook, and our hearts trembled with them, staring at the bushes in front of us, and squeezing out of them a cat's eye that was pitch black with only a pair of bright vertical pupils, blinked and blinked in the darkness.
Call~
Realizing that it was a black cat, we couldn't help but breathe a deep sigh of relief, only Betsy had a resentful look on her face, muttering how it was a cat, I wanted to see the ghost of Mapo, so angry that I couldn't help but slap it twice on the head.
"Stop talking nonsense, let's see how we get there, although there are bushes and ruins, it is really not a good place to find a bunker and ambush to observe. ”
Looking at the surrounding environment, the more eerie it looks, it is even more terrifying than the haunted house in Happy Valley in the previous life, for the sake of this lady's self-esteem, it is better to leave as soon as possible, otherwise if the name of the paladin who is afraid of ghosts spreads in the future, how can I still mix in the road.
"Alright, alright, I know, Sister Arya is really, and it's hard to get a chance to see what a ghost is up close. ”
Despite some dissatisfaction, Betsy obediently touched her chin and continued to think.
"The side of the greedy wolf, it should be next to the direction of the greedy wolf, that is to say, the destination will not be directly opposite the greedy wolf, but only on the side of the greedy wolf; ”
Bessie touched her chin and thought for a moment, then pointed to the direction where the right side of the greedy wolf star and the direction of the moon bend intersected, and a confident look appeared on her face.
"Well done, let's go, let's forget about this direction. By the way, Bessie, what does it mean that the stars appear at eight o'clock in the night?"
hugged Betsy's little Lori, kissed her tightly on her smiling face and praised it. Then I continued to question the next somewhat awkward eight-character Zang Yan.
"The remaining eight words? literally it's very simple, but I don't think it's that simple, so I'm going to keep thinking about it, maybe I'll be able to get a hint when I enter Greenwood. ”
Pushing the frame of the glasses on the bridge of her nose, the silver-haired little Lori said as a matter of course, as if she didn't bother to explain too much about too simple sentences.
"Alright, that's it, let's head for Greenforest. ”
Glancing at the tsundere Bessie, I shook my head and gave the order to continue on my way towards Greenwood.
........
Just after we left the ruins of Mapo's house, the black cat's face, which had disappeared, gradually changed into the pale smiling face of an old woman, which looked more and more eerie and terrifying hidden in the bushes at night.
A pair of cat pupils with straight pupils became even more blood-red, and the scarlet tongue licked the white fangs, gradually disappearing into the night, piercing out a slight 'meow' and 'chirp' terrifying laughter.
.........
When I walked into the Green Forest, which was next to the ruins of Mapo, the feeling of being watched in secret faded away, and my back was already wet with cold sweat.
Maybe because of their young age, weak strength, and lack of subtle observation, Bonnie and the others didn't perceive the feeling of North Surveillance, but I felt it the first time I stepped into the ruins of Mapo's house.
It seems that it was because of the Sword of Oath Light on my waist, and despite being watched, I didn't feel any hostility at all, so I was able to get out safely without wanting to get sick like everyone else who entered the ruins of Mapo.
As we walked, we gradually felt that this jungle was unusual, different from the ordinary jungle, since we walked into this jungle, we had not encountered a single monster at all, not even a threatening small animal or insect had not been seen, only rows and rows of bushes, and the dead leaves swaying and falling on it, and the rustling sound of walking on the fallen leaves.
"Well, Sister Arya! I..."
Suddenly, Gavin looked at me with a twisted expression, his face flushed, and he seemed to be a little uncomfortable.
My heart suddenly hung in the air, no, could it be that the little guy Jiawen was really evil in the ruins of Mapo's house, and saw the figure of the old woman who was chattering with the gods.
Bonnie and Betsy around him also turned around and stared at the red-faced Gavin, different from my worries, Bonnie had an inquiring and excited face, while Betsy had a somewhat unhappy and resentful expression.
It seemed that he was embarrassed by my gaze, or maybe his condition had suddenly worsened, and Jiawen's face became even redder, as if he could drip blood, biting his lip and pinching the corner of his clothes, he was silent.
