It was as if suddenly from day to night, and the cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods all ran out.

The dolls that poked their heads out of their hiding corners made frantic cries that were different from their cute appearances.

A carnival began inside and outside the church.

The dolls were bouncing and screaming, singing high-pitched songs that Li Yun couldn't understand.

The statue of the Virgin was completely shattered, and out of the statue came a zombie-like old lady, staggering and dancing on the lawn.

The figures in the community room, restaurant, and school have all turned into skeletons, and they are dancing with the dolls, as if celebrating some major holiday.

In this frenzied atmosphere, there is an abnormal evil aura flowing.

Li Yun's body had that strong allergic reaction again. The heartbeat and breathing were uncontrollable, and there was also unusual flushing and rash on the skin. His vision blurred again, and his legs went limp, unable to support his heavy body.

He didn't fall to the ground all at once, and Uncle Li behind him grabbed him.

Uncle Li was staggered, barely stood firm, and helped Li Yun, who was kneeling on the ground.

He had no idea what was going on, except that after the old man raised his arms and shouted, the dolls all jumped up and sang quietly. Then, Li Yun couldn't.

Li Yun hurriedly took out his ID card, and also took out Li Yun's ID card, stuffed it into his palm, and clenched it together.

He was alone trying to pull Li Yun out of the church, and he had some difficulty. He was also worried that the old man would make a new move.

Uncle Li looked up vigilantly and saw that the old man had lowered his arms and put his hands into his sleeve robe.

The singing and dancing dolls also stopped moving, recovered from their frenzied state, and slipped timidly to the corner where they were hiding one by one, revealing only one head, looking at Li Yun and Uncle Li curiously.

Li Yun exhaled heavily.

He blinked.

Sweat fell on his eyelashes, making his eyes stinging and blurring his vision.

He raised his hand to wipe it, and when he looked up again, he saw the church where the revelry had ended.

"This is where our death ends." The old man repeated what he had just said, but his tone became extremely calm.

Li Yun gasped for a while, swallowed his saliva, and asked with difficulty, "Only you are like this, right?" ”

He didn't believe his parents would fall into this weird and evil state.

This place...... There are also the old men in front of him, just like the Third Courtyard and Yin Shikang. He's probably the longest-standing and most powerful ghost in the area, ruling over the other ghosts here. Perhaps, he also made those ghosts into dolls full of churches. But this does not mean that after heaven and hell are gone, this is the fate of all believers.

Li Yun stared at the old man.

He could feel that neither this old man nor the other ghosts here had any murderous intent. The malice emanating from them was more like an instinct, like the smell of blood on Yi Xin's body, the fragrance of flowers on Xue Xiaolian's body, and the warm breath on the boss's body. Whether they kill people or not has nothing to do with their evil aura.

The feeling is subtle.

It's like a group of cynical keyboard warriors, seeing their appearance and listening to their speeches makes people unhappy, but it seems unlikely that they will really do anything to take revenge on society.

Li Yun caught a glimpse of the crucifixion statue on the ground, and suddenly had an epiphany.

"It's going to be different." The old man said calmly, "There will be people who choose to build a new paradise." ”

When he said this, his tone was gloomy.

The dolls seemed to come to life, and they all made sad sounds.

But in an instant, one of them jumped out of a doll dressed as a knight, and the soft knight's spear made of cloth pointed at the sky and began to sing loudly again.

The sound brought the other dolls to sing and dance again.

The carnival atmosphere spread from the church to the surrounding area.

The old man seemed to be the only outlier here, just standing quietly in place, still watching Li Yun.

Li Yun felt a headache.

This kind of atmosphere makes his body very uncomfortable, like a person with a bad heart on a roller coaster, and like an old man entering a noisy bar and nightclub.

He grabbed Uncle Li's hand, held the door frame with the other hand, and forcibly got up.

"Excuse me." Li Yun said hello to the old man, his voice was covered by those singing, and he didn't care, and hurriedly went down the steps.

Leaving the steps and stepping out of the lawn of the church, Li Yun felt the sun.

The sounds of the revelry became distant.

Li Yun glanced back, and the door of the church slowly closed in front of him. The doll that closed the door was also the one who opened the door for Li Yun. It also raised its hand and waved it at Li Yun.

When the door closed, Li Yun found that the statue of the Crucifix and the statue of the Virgin were intact.

Muffled voices could be heard from inside the market. The fishmonger was still killing the fish, with his back to them, not noticing the anomaly here.

When I turned my head again, the hotel still looked so dilapidated. But through the dusty glass window, Li Yun saw the guests sitting in the hotel.

The heads of those snow-white guests were heads. The strange skeleton sits and changes glasses, like a thriller show.

Uncle Li asked with concern, "Are you okay?" What did he just do to you? ”

Li Yun shook his head and asked again, "Uncle Li, didn't you see it?" ”

"Those dancing villains? Isn't it some kind of foreigner's spell? The dancing god of foreigners? Uncle Li asked worriedly.

"It's not a jumping god, those should be ghosts." Li Yun still shook his head, "That person is also a ghost...... Maybe I'm more sensitive...... Do you see what's inside the window? He pointed to the window of the hotel.

Uncle Li looked at it seriously for a long time, and then squinted his eyes, "My presbyopia...... I didn't see anything. ”

Li Yun thought, it was probably only he who saw it.

He didn't know if it was a superpower or an individual difference between ghosts. It's like Uncle Li can easily touch things when he is in the form of a ghost, and he can't touch anything at all. Probably every ghost has this difference. He has a keen sense and is particularly susceptible to the influence of ghosts.

"Let's go back first."

Li Yun didn't know if the old man would suddenly change his mind, and there was nothing to do to stay here, so they still went back to the office first, asked Xue Xiaolian, and then made the next step.

Uncle Li nodded in agreement, and helped Li Yun to walk.

The appearance of the old man supporting the young man is a little funny.

When Li Yun entered the community, he thought of the girl who had just left the church.

I don't know what happened to that girl.

With this in mind, he had already walked into the alley that had been carved out by accident.

There are more people in the activity room.

Li Yun turned his head to look, and unsurprisingly saw some skeletons.

The skeletons looked like ordinary old people, taking interest classes in the activity room.

Someone else found Li Yun, turned their heads to look at Li Yun, and exchanged heads with each other, as if they were saying something.

Uncle Li was completely unaware of this.

Every step Li Yun took, he felt a thorn in his back.

The skeletons stopped their activities, and each of them saluted Li Yun and said something that Li Yun couldn't hear.

This state lasted for a few minutes, and it was not until Li Yun struggled out of the alley that he felt the sight behind him disappear.

Li Yun and Uncle Li, who had just come out, met someone in front of the small gate of the park.

It was a young girl again, but it looked like she was two years older than the girl they had met before, and she was already a little mature in her dress.

She looked uneasy, pushed the small door and walked out, and patted the dust on her hands. When she saw Li Yun and Uncle Li, she stopped slightly and looked at the two hesitantly.

"That...... I would like to ask, is there a church here? The girl asked awkwardly.
