[Exclusive from Jinjiang] Please enter the funeral guest
7:34 pm on April 29th.
Because of the sunlight, even at 7:30 in the evening, the sun was only showing a slight tendency to fall. The orange-red fiery clouds spread across the sky, and the open view of the countryside made the entire sunset look more like an oil painting.
It would be better if they weren't dragged into horror fiction.
Luo Shiqin, carrying a bag, and Yu Yu, dragging a suitcase, walked to the door of the canteen they had spotted earlier. The door, with its red-bronze rusted iron skin, had a sense of history, and the window facing the two of them was an old-fashioned sliding window, with the bronze window frame and door railings rusted to the point that they could be called antiques.
The glass was covered with thick layers of dust, and it was impossible to see clearly what was going on inside the canteen.
"Is anyone there?" Yu Yu reached out and knocked on the glass door. The thick dust on top made him cough a few times. "Ahem, there's too much dust here, right?!"
"It doesn't look like the latest revision." Luo Shiqin glanced at the chapter content of "囍" and said, "Stand behind me, I'll go open the window."
The door of the canteen was locked and could not be opened, but the two sliding windows were only bolted, and the glass windows could be opened by lifting the window bolts.
Without saying a word, Yu Yu leaped behind the reassuring Senior Sister Luo, carefully grasped the corner of her coat, and shouted with her eyes tightly closed: "I'm hiding. If Senior Sister doesn't let me open my eyes, I won't open my eyes even if you kill me!"
She has a clear understanding of her own courage. For Yu Yu, as long as she doesn't hold back her senior, she will have performed exceptionally well.
Luo Shiqin patted her shoulder to comfort her, then protected Yu Yu and reached out to touch the rusty window bolt.
[…At the moment when Yu Yu opened the window bolt, a strange paper man jumped out from behind the window.
Yu Yu, who was hit head-on, immediately had her pupils shrink and screamed——】
As Luo Shiqin moved, the words in her vision blurred, and finally, reluctantly, became:
[…At the moment when Senior Sister Luo opened the window bolt, a strange paper man jumped out from behind the window.
The girl's expression remained unchanged, and she even raised her eyelids listlessly to look at the paper man with a weird smile. She was silent for a moment, and then spoke lightly:
"Be careful or I'll burn you." Luo Shiqin took out a piece of talisman paper with the word 'explosion' written on it from her pocket, waved it in front of the paper man, and said meaningfully, "Want to try it?"
Paper Man Boss: ...
As the man and the paper looked at each other, Luo Shiqin suddenly noticed a gust of wind blowing from behind her, which blew the shaking rusty glass window shut and obscured the figure of the paper man boss.
When Luo Shiqin pushed the door open again, the paper figure inside had disappeared.
Afraid of fire.
She secretly made a note of this point, then patted the little school girl who was closing her eyes and lowering her head, and said softly, "It's okay."
"Help me hold the bag," she quickly took off her backpack and handed it to the schoolgirl who had just opened her eyes and was still a little confused. She took a small thundercloud talisman and quickly stepped through the wide open window. "I'll go open the door. Wait for me for a moment."
It was not completely dark yet, so Yu Yu was not that scared. She held her senior's backpack and saw the lights in the canteen suddenly flicker a few times and then light up completely.
The warm yellow light bulb glowed, and a few small insects were flying around. The lights in the house were turned on, and Yu Yu, who was standing outside the window, saw the full-length mirror facing her at a glance.
Luo Shiqin jumped down from the table by the window, turned on the switch on the wall, and when the light above her head came on, she quickly looked around.
In addition to the eye-catching full-length mirror, there are also several half-person-high shelves in the canteen. However, like the doors and windows seen before, the exposed iron sheets are rusted and curled.
She waved the talisman in her hand, and white thunderclouds appeared beside her.
"Let's go see if there's anything useful."
After being told by Luo Shiqin, the little thundercloud suddenly started running around in the small grocery store.
Luo Shiqin first looked at the door latch.
"Is the rust so severe?" She tried to turn the door lock, but it was as if it was glued shut and couldn't be moved at all. "It seems like they don't intend to let anyone in."
Before the content of the "囍" chapter was updated, Yu Yu, the protagonist, had been dealing with the paper figurine owner outside the canteen.
Now that the paper figurine boss has been scared away, the big bandit Luo Shiqin breaks directly into the canteen and takes over the place, showing the schoolgirl who follows the plot in an obedient manner what it means to improvise.
Luo Shiqin casually pressed on the handle of the drawer on the window table, and with a sudden force, she forcibly pulled open the drawer, which was somewhat difficult to open. At a glance, she saw the little white paper hand that was quickly retracted. It seemed that the hand was just too strong for Luo Shiqin and was planning to cause trouble for her in some small ways.
Unfortunately, I miscalculated.
There were two pieces of wedding candy and an old-fashioned landline phone in the drawer. Luo Shiqin took the things out and placed them on the table. Then she heard Yu Yu say in surprise, "Isn't this the old phone?"
Seeing the familiar design, she couldn't help but smile and said, "I still have this model of landline phone in my hometown."
Luo Shiqin fiddled with it up and down, frowned and said, "It's not plugged in, so I guess it won't work. I'll go find a socket."
She opened several other drawers, but apart from taking out a few more wedding candies, there was nothing else useful.
"Nothing..."
While Senior Luo was looking for something, Yu Yu reached out curiously and pressed three numbers on the phone.
As expected, there was no reaction.
She took out her cell phone and checked the time. It was already eight o'clock in the evening. The sun was almost setting, but they were still at the entrance of the path and couldn't enter the village.
Luo Shiqin leaned on the table and searched left and right two or three times, but still found nothing.
She was already thinking about the possibility of catching the paper man boss who had been scared away earlier.
Just as he was thinking this, Yu Yu suddenly stammered, "Senior, behind you——!"
Luo Shiqin was startled and quickly flipped through the updates in her field of vision.
[…Big blood-red characters suddenly appeared on the yellow walls around it, and sticky liquid slid down and dripped onto the ground.
[0734-4444-4444]
The blood-red numbers were engraved on the wall, penetrating deep into Yu Yu's pupils.
She watched all this in amazement, feeling horrified.
Phone number?
Luo Shiqin turned around and saw bloody numbers all over the wall.
The light bulbs hanging overhead also flickered a few times to create a terrifying atmosphere.
But when she thought that this was done to scare her away, Luo Shiqin was not afraid, she even felt like laughing.
That's it?
Are we underestimating her heart, which was tempered by so much horror material when she was writing horror novels?
After memorizing the phone number, she glanced at the old-fashioned landline phone on the table that had no socket, then decisively took out her cell phone and dialed.
My Lord, times have changed.
"beep--"
Luo Shiqin: …
Well, not completely.
The cell phone couldn't get through, so it looked like the only way to get through was to use the old landline that had just been found. But she couldn't find a socket, and Luo Shiqin even had some doubts, because this store had no other electrical appliances except the lamp above the head.
There were department stores on the shelves behind her, but judging by the thickness of the dust, she had no doubt that they were expired products.
Yu Yu also tried to call, but just like Luo Shiqin, he was unable to get through. The two looked at each other for a while, and Yu Yu spoke carefully: "How about we walk back?"
Although it was a bit far, there was really no other option. We couldn't let them stay in the canteen overnight, could we?
Luo Shiqin: "Wait, I have an idea."
It's just that this method is a bit weird.
"Pikachu! He's back!"
As these words were spoken, a dark object emerged from some corner of the canteen and flew to Luo Shiqin's side.
Yu Yu: "...Is this a small thundercloud?"
Luo Shiqin: “…Probably.”
There was so much dust in the canteen that a white cloud was moving here and there, and soon it turned into a dark cloud.
Little Lei Wuyun shuddered, and released several small streams of electricity, which flowed into the electrical appliance through the plug of the old landline phone.
Luo Shiqin reached out and dialed the number [0734-4444-4444], and then the two of them waited patiently for the phone to ring.
“Ding Di——”
There was a sound, but it wasn't from the phone.
Yu Yu was startled and turned to look in the direction of the sound. At some point, a dark red three-wheeled taxi stopped by the roadside, its low beam lights flashed and its horn honked again and again, indicating that it had arrived.
"Is this the person who called me?" She was a little surprised, squinting her eyes to see the person sitting in the driver's seat. But the low beam was too bright, and Yu Yu looked at it for a long time before looking away with regret.
Luo Shiqin put one hand on the table and the other on the window, and jumped out of the canteen again.
"Probably."
She patted the dust off her body. Although the dust on her brown short-sleeved jacket was not very noticeable, Luo Shiqin still wrinkled her nose and said in disdain, "There is too much dust in this canteen."
If you really want to scare people, please don't create so much dust, okay? Is this meant to scare people or to anger geeks?
Yu Yu brushed the dust off her back and subconsciously glanced inside the canteen: "This canteen wasn't open when I came here half a year ago. I don't know who in the village opened it - damn?!"
The mirror facing the window seemed to be covered by a layer of dust in the store. Suddenly, the scene in the mirror could not be seen clearly. Then, a figure that frightened Yu Yu emerged from the distorted mirror.
On the pale paper face, the cheekbones were red, and the mouth was dotted with oily red. The eyes outlined with charcoal were slightly curved, with only a little black in the pupils. The paper man in a black coat smiled strangely and quickly moved towards Yu Yu, emerged from the mirror and ran towards her!
“Ahhhhhhhh!!!”
Yu Yu's pupils contracted, and without thinking, he picked up something and threw it in the direction of the paper man!
There was a loud "bang" and Luo Shiqin looked in shock at the life-length mirror that was smashed through by the old-fashioned landline phone. She then looked at the school girl who was patting her chest and gasping for breath.
"This is so horrible!" Yu Yu said with a lingering fear, wanting to cry but unable to, "Why would there be a guy who sells funerals in a store in a canteen?"
Luo Shiqin: …
Is there a possibility that he is the owner of this canteen?
“Ding ding!”
The tricycle taxi behind them honked again, as if urging them to get in.
Luo Shiqin looked back at the shop without the owner, and the full-length mirror facing them that was smashed by Yu Yu's landline phone. Then she reached out and patted the shoulder of the still frightened junior schoolmate, comforting her:
"I think they might be the ones to be afraid of now."
