Gray paper ashes fluttered, and a figure appeared in the bedroom on the second floor of the ancient mansion, a young man who looked to be about twenty-five or sixteen years old, wearing modern clothes and trousers.

"...... this?"

You can see it.

The sudden change in the environment made this figure feel very surprised, and the expression on his face instantly became solemn, but after seeing Li Hui's figure clearly, this solemnity turned into an accident again.

Then.

Li Hui told the young man his general idea, wanting him to test the strange old man lying on the wooden bed.

"A powerful ghost that can't be perceived in the ghost domain is the same as this ancient mansion?"

Hear the words.

Zhang Zhao did not refuse.

Although he was very puzzled in his heart why Li Hui was looking for him instead of Yang Xiao and several other top existences, Zhang Zhao still walked towards the wooden bed as Li Hui said.

It was a black, sandalwood bed.

There is a thick layer of dust piled up in the other spare parts of the wooden bed, which does not look like someone is using it, but at this moment, there is a strange old man lying on the wooden bed, and the old man's body has not been stained with a trace of dust, and the overall appearance is very abrupt, which is incompatible with the dusty and dilapidated scene of the old wooden bed.

As the distance approaches.

The scene Zhang Zhao saw was even more real.

The corpse spots on the old man's body are clearly visible, the skin looks very loose, it is covered with wrinkles, and the expression on his face is very serene, as if he is asleep, although it is weird, but it is not terrifying to look at.

"Could it be as Li Hui guessed, this weird old man is the source of the spirit of this ancient mansion of the Republic of China."

Zhang Zhao's face was thoughtful, and there was also a hint of doubt, which was curiosity about the unknown and wanted to know the final result.

Even if these souls of them are left by the messenger who delivered all the letters from the ghost post office, there is also a hierarchy between them, like Yang Xiao, who is at the top, and Zhang Zhao is actually not outstanding among the souls, and a large part of the reason why he was able to successfully deliver all the letters and leave the ghost post office in the first place is due to luck.

That's why.

Although Zhang Zhao has the same rich experience in facing supernatural events, he is still more than a step behind Yang Xiao's real top existence, and he is a little surprised that Li Hui uses him instead of Yang Xiao and others.

Thinking about it, if he is replaced by Li Hui, Zhang Zhao will definitely give priority to letting a top existence like Yang Xiao cooperate with his actions, even if Yang Xiao at this moment is also a revenant soul and does not have the complete supernatural of his own body, but the experience of dealing with supernatural events still exists.

"Huh?"

Suddenly.

Zhang Zhao, who was thinking, found that the strange old man lying on the wooden bed had moved, and before he could take the initiative to test it, the old man in front of him sat up directly from the wooden bed.

The old man's body was very stiff, it seemed that the joints were frozen together, because the body was too stiff, the old man's movements when he got up were like a robot, which was very unnatural.

"Click, click, click......"

Meanwhile.

The sound of a series of bones clashing sounded.

The strange old man slowly turned his head at this moment and looked towards Zhang Zhao's position, and at some point, the old man's closed eyes also opened.

Those were terrifying eyes!

There were no pupils in the old man's eyes, only the whites of his eyes remained, and it was a miserable whiteness, and his gaze was cold, hollow, and dead.

And even more than that.

The strange old man's eyes seemed to have some unknown supernatural power, and the moment he was stared at by such a pair of eyes, Zhang Zhao felt that his thinking was about to be stopped, which was not caused by fear, but by some kind of supernatural influence.

The next moment.

A cold aura also emerged from Zhang Zhao's body, and two shadows intertwined with darkness appeared on his side, one of which rushed towards the strange old man on the wooden bed, and the other black shadow overlapped with his own body.

This is the supernatural that he harnesses.

The moment the black shadow and Zhang Zhao's body coincided, the unknown influence of the old man's gaze was isolated.

And another black shadow swooped down.

The strange old man seemed to have no substance, and the black shadow that was intertwined with the darkness penetrated directly through its body, and it did not touch the old man's body, but the dust accumulated on the wooden bed was affected, and it was wiped away a lot by the black shadow.

"What are you kidding, my attack didn't work for him, how is this possible?"

Looked at.

Zhang Zhao's face was full of surprise, even a little shocked, the black shadow just now was already making his full move, and the seemingly ordinary black shadow actually had more than one supernatural ability.

If it coincides with itself, the black shadow can offset the supernatural attacks it receives, and if it attacks the ghost, then the black shadow will suppress the ghost, and the ghost who is not terrifying enough will even be suppressed to death on the spot!

But such a powerful supernatural attack couldn't even touch the body of the old man in front of him, didn't this mean that his Zhang Zhao's ability was ineffective against the old man?

The appearance of this situation made him unacceptable for a while, if it was because the weird old man's own horror level was too high, the black shadow could not suppress the old man, but he couldn't touch it directly, which made Zhang Zhao incomprehensible.

He had never been in such a situation before, whether it was the experience of delivering a letter or the supernatural events he had encountered in reality.

Meanwhile.

Li Hui, who was on the other side of the room, made a move the moment the old man got up.

His palm waved quickly, and with Li Hui's behavior, the gray paper ash in the room gathered, and finally formed a figure that looked exactly like Li Hui.

Then the old firewood knife in Li Hui's hand disappeared and appeared in the hand of the figure, and then the figure took a step and appeared strangely beside the wooden bed, and the firewood knife in his hand slashed at the body of the old man sitting on the bed.

And that's not all.

Soon a second figure appeared in the bedroom, also holding a supernatural object in the figure's hand.

It's that rusty coffin nail!

Previously, Li Hui nailed the coffin to the manor owner's body, but before getting on the bus, he dismembered the manor owner's body, like several other kings, and then pulled out the coffin nails.

Immediately after that, the gray paper ash fluttered, and the figure also appeared on the other side of the wooden bed, and the rusty coffin nail in his hand pierced the strange old man's body.

The coffin nail and the firewood knife are both extremely terrifying supernatural items, the former has an almost insoluble suppression ability for the ghosts, and the latter is also very terrifying for the dismemberment ability of the supernatural!

Under the combined attack of two supernatural objects, most of the ghosts will be disposed of in an instant, but there are exceptions to everything.

Before the rusty coffin nails and the old firewood knife attacked him, the figure of the strange old man suddenly disappeared, without any symptoms, and it looked very abrupt.

The next moment.

The two supernatural items, the wood knife and the coffin nail, were all in vain.

"Gone?" Zhang Zhao's expression moved slightly, and he turned his head to look at Li Hui.

At such a close distance, Zhang Zhao didn't see what happened to the old man, but what was certain was that it was definitely not through the ability of the ghost domain, because Li Hui's ghost domain shrouded the entire ancient mansion, and the other ghost domains would definitely be suppressed, and it was impossible to use it normally.

And on the other side.

Li Hui's brows also furrowed.

He also didn't see how the old man disappeared, and the other party's figure was not revealed in his ghost domain.

However, just as Li Hui was about to say something, what happened in the next moment made him choke the superfluous words in his mouth.

I saw that an unknown change had occurred in the ancient house.

A dark wind blew out of thin air in the room he was in, not too big, but it was unusually cold, and all the dust that had accumulated on the old furniture around him was blown up and drifted in the air.

Not only that, but there seems to be a strange cry mixed in this yin wind, and it seems that someone is communicating in a low voice, which is very weird.

"Bang dang!"

Then there was a loud bang at the bedroom door, as if someone had kicked it hard, and the door slammed against the door frame behind it.

Tread, trample......

Footsteps began to sound in the room, and the sound was dull and stiff, not like a living person, but like a dead body with a stiff body walking.

Not only the second-floor bedroom where Li Hui and Zhang Zhao were, but the entire ancient mansion began a terrifying change at this moment.

The first is the door inside the old house.

Whether it was the bedroom on the second floor or the room on the first floor, all the doors that had not yet been opened were opened at this moment, as if a pair of invisible hands had pushed these doors open.

Furthermore.

The scene in each room was dim, and there was a faint coldness spreading, as if there were countless ghosts hidden in the darkness.

"What's going on?"

"All the ghosts in the ancient mansion have started to act, has someone triggered some kind of supernatural rule of the ancient mansion or what?"

“……”

The anomaly of the ancient mansion instantly attracted the attention of the other revenants.

They all put down their exploration and gathered together to discuss this change in the interior of the ancient mansion, and even the souls of the dead who originally walked into the room to search for them were evacuated one after another at this moment, including Yang Xiao and others.

The gathering of the revenants found that the number of them was much smaller, such as Yang Xiao, and he found that Xiao Chengtai, who was acting with him, did not finally get out of that room as he thought.

"Are you haunted by a ghost?" Yang Xiao's gaze moved slightly, and he looked at the room he had explored with Xiao Chengtai before.

In that room was a strange red coffin, the body of which was bright and bloody, and the anomaly could be detected at a glance.

The most terrifying thing is that the lid of the coffin has been opened, and the ghosts inside have left the coffin and wandered around the room.

At that time, as soon as Yang Xiao and the two walked into the room, the door was closed, and the scene in the room fell into darkness completely, and then there was a sound of footsteps in the room, and then Xiao Chengtai took the initiative to cooperate with Yang Xiao, ready to test the location of the ghost, but when he just started to act, the whole person disappeared.

Later, Yang Xiaoyou tried to find Xiao Chengtai's traces, but he never found his figure, as if he had evaporated from the world, leaving no trace.

At the moment, I didn't know what was wrong inside the ancient mansion, the door of the room opened automatically, and after Yang Xiao came out to understand everyone's situation, he immediately put his eyes on the room again.

The room that Yang Xiao was exploring was very strange.

Although the interior of the room is dim from the outside, you can see the general scene, but once you enter the room, the environment will be completely darkened, and you will not be able to see your fingers......

"No?"

In Yang Xiao's sight, there was only an old wooden cabinet left in that room except for the coffin, and nothing else, not only did he not find Xiao Chengtai's figure, but even the ghost did not see it.

"Is the strange supernatural embodiment in that red coffin, or in that wooden cabinet?"

There are only two items in the whole room, and the coffin and wooden cabinet can also hold people, so Yang Xiao guessed that Xiao Chengtai should be in one of those two items.

"The ghost is coming out of the room."

Suddenly.

Someone from the Dead Soul said this.

At the same time, Yang Xiao and the others soon seemed to be the case, there were a total of three rooms in the hall on the first floor, except for the kitchen-like cabin on the innermost side, there were footsteps in the other two rooms at this moment.

The footsteps were dull and stiff, but the frequency of the footsteps coming from the two rooms was apparently different, which meant that they were two very different ghosts.

Even over time.

There was also a faint movement in the small kitchen at the innermost end of the hall on the first floor, which was the sound of someone crawling.

Besides.

The environment inside the ancient mansion became darker and darker, and a cold aura emerged, and the temperature in the ancient mansion dropped suddenly.

And at the same time.

The scene in the room where Li Hui was located became even more eerie.

The whole bedroom seemed to have undergone a long baptism of time in an instant, and became more dilapidated, the tiles on the wall completely fell off, and the old furniture was completely decayed, so that only the dresser was still intact in the whole room.

A human figure was faintly reflected in the bronze mirror on the dresser.

The figure was not Li Hui and Zhang Zhao in the room, nor was it the middle-aged woman in white, but the strange old man who had just suddenly disappeared from the wooden bed.

The strange old man reflected in the bronze mirror was not far from Li Hui's location, and the old man was still walking, and the distance between him and Li Hui was further reduced.

This trend continues.

I'm afraid that it won't be long before the weird old man can come to Li Hui's side.

"Is this targeting me?"

However, in fact, Li Hui had already noticed the movements of the strange old man.

His eyes have been looking at the surrounding scene, especially the obviously abnormal dressing table beside him, which is the focus of Li Hui's attention, and Li Hui has already discovered it the moment the strange old man's figure appears.

Happy holidays
