Chapter 63: I'll Go

Got a ghost following you all the time?

Jiang Bei looked at the slippery water stains and thought of what happened to Chen Ersan and Mingyue when they first entered the dungeon, they were next to a lake when they entered the dungeon, and the two of them also saw something suspected to be a ghost in the water.

He remembered that when Chen Ersan and Mingyue rummaged through the small warehouse yesterday, a puddle of water stains also appeared on the floor of the warehouse.

Could it be that the ghost in the water has been following the two girls? But why hasn't it been seen yet, this ghost will be invisible? Ebetsu looked at the empty ground in front of him.

"This is really ......" Wang Watermelon looked at the long water stain and felt very uneasy, but he couldn't show the uneasiness in his heart too publicly, so he only swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva stiffly, "Weird." ”

Mingyue also looked at the water trails on the ground behind her: "I have a bad premonition in my heart, I always feel that the ghost has always been by our side." ”

"I sometimes feel that there is something dark behind me, but when I look back, there is nothing," Wang watermelon shrunk his neck, "If there is a mirror, it should be able to reflect what is following us." ”

Jiang Bei felt that even if he found a mirror, he couldn't just look at it.

What if the ghost really shines out when it looks in the mirror, and it suddenly becomes angry.

Once you find the mirror, you have to negotiate with each other.

"It's getting dark." Chen Wuji looked up at the sky, the sun was gradually setting westward, and it would soon be submerged by the mountains to the west.

Darkness is coming.

Mingyue also looked at the sun hanging in the west: "There should be clues in the ancestral hall, if you don't find it today, you can only come back tomorrow." ”

It's not good to wander around the village after dark, who knows what you'll run into.

But even if you stay in the house honestly, it is not necessarily safe, maybe you fall asleep and wake up to find that your teammates next to you have long been out of breath.

You still have to find a breakthrough in the dungeon as soon as possible, and the breakthrough may be in the ancestral hall.

But there were too many people around the ancestral hall, so it was not easy to go inside.

Mingyue thought of a way: "Why don't you light a fire somewhere else and lure everyone from this side of the ancestral hall over?" I have carefully observed along the way, and there are many haystacks on the roadside in this village, and when you light a cigarette, you can see it from a long distance. ”

Jiang Bei felt that although this method lacked morality, it was feasible.

If the villagers guarding the entrance of the ancestral hall were human, they might go to put out the fire, and if they were ghosts, they might be indifferent. Whose ghost would be so enthusiastic as to run to the scene of the fire to put out the fire?

Anyway, the haystacks are placed there, and they don't burn white.

"It's better to divide into two groups, one group stays here and waits for people to leave, and as soon as people leave, they go in and search so that they can buy more time, and the other group of people go to set fires, but who will burn them?" Wang Watermelon whispered.

Mingyue reached out and took out a lighter from her pocket: "I'll go." ”

Jiang Bei recognized the logo printed on the lighter, this was the lighter produced by the base, it seemed that Mingyue had carried it before entering the dungeon.

Just like Jiang Bei brought an axe into the dungeon, others would also bring some things they might use into the dungeon, and now this lighter will come in handy.

The four of them discussed it for a while and decided to let Mingyue and Chen Wuji go and set the fire of lack of morality.

Then Jiang Bei and Wang Watermelon waited here, and after the people guarding the ancestral hall left, they immediately went in to find clues.

Mingyue and Chen Wuji came back to join them after setting the fire.

"Be careful, don't get caught." Before leaving, Jiang Bei instructed the two.

Mingyue held the lighter and made a "no problem" gesture at him, and then left with Chen Wuji sneakily.

Jiang Bei and Wang Watermelon hid nearby and waited for the fire to ignite.

Mingyue and their work efficiency was very fast, and it didn't take long for Jiang Bei to see a thick smoke rising from afar, and the gray smoke went straight to the sky, and the color was so dark that it almost blended with the night.

The people on the other side of the ancestral hall really noticed the movement.

Jiang Bei watched from a distance, only to see that the group of people was in a commotion and then quickly exchanged something, and then a large group of people left and passed in the direction of the fire.

There were still a few people who stayed outside the door and didn't leave.

Mingyue and Chen Wuji obviously knew that lighting a fire once would not attract everyone, and it didn't take long for Jiang Bei to see a second puff of black smoke slowly rising into the air, and it was getting thicker and thicker.

The few remaining people who were guarding outside were also a little unable to sit still, and they found that the fire at the second fire point seemed to be getting bigger and bigger.

Then Ebetsu saw the men craned their necks and looked around, as if to make sure there was no one nearby.

Seeing this, he pressed Wang Watermelon's head and squatted down with him, there were some untended wild grass in this place, and there was a low wall in front of it, and those people didn't see Jiang Bei and Wang Watermelon squatting here.

After making sure that there was no one around, the men ran towards the second fire point together, and closed the door of the ancestral hall as they left.

Seeing that everyone was gone, Jiang Bei quickly came to the door of the ancestral hall with Wang Watermelon.

The gate of the ancestral hall is an old-fashioned wooden door, there is no door lock on it, and there is no place to bolt the iron chain, Jiang Bei pushed the door and opened it.

As soon as the door opened, there was a huge coffin.

When Jiang Bei got closer, he realized that the area of this coffin was almost twice the size of the other coffins, could it be a giant inside?

Directly opposite the coffin was the human-tall bird's head statue, because it was about the size of an adult, so Jiang Bei looked at it with a strange feeling, as if the thing in front of him was a living thing and not a statue.

On the walls to the left and right of the statue are red and white mourning clothes, red and white colors are intertwined into the background color of the statue, and a personal face hangs on it - it is a paper mask.

As soon as Wang Xigua came in, he avoided the statue and the huge coffin from a distance: "These things look so strange, I don't dare to go over." ”

There were also bits and pieces in the room, and there was a small door next to it that should be another room where he could search these places.

Ebetsu noticed that there was a paper pot between the statue and the coffin, and there were some unburned scraps of paper in it.

He found that the pot did not seem to be burning with paper money, but with runes written in dense small characters.

Ebetsu bent down and picked up one of the larger scraps of paper that had not been burned, and looked at the text on it.

Because the words on it were very small, and some places were scorched, Jiang Bei took a little effort to read the small characters on the paper.

“…… Sacrifice by me, exchange life for life, return to the soul, come in the thirtieth day, and recreate the living ......"

"Resurrection." Jiang Bei read these four words, and the Returning Spirit Day was indeed as they thought, it was a day of ghost return.

But this one is a life-for-life ......

Does it mean that another life must be exchanged for a dead person?

Then this coffin may be the sacrifice of the villagers, this coffin is very large, and there may be many corpses in it.

In this way, you can count how many corpses are in the coffin and you will know how many ghosts have "returned".

Thinking of this, Jiang Bei took out the axe on his waist and used the blade to pry the crack of the coffin.

When he pried the coffin, he was highly concentrated, ready to run away at any time, and if he pried it open, a ghost crawled out.

Jiang Bei had a lot of strength, and within a few minutes, the coffin made a "squeak" sound, and the heavy coffin board was pried open by him, and he looked in through this gap, and was stunned.
