"A-choo——"

Lu Ban sneezed and walked back in the night street.

He and Qin Tiantian could go home after finishing the statement, and out of friendship, he sent Qin Tiantian on his way.

"I didn't expect the perverted murderer was on our side. How scary."

Qin Tiantian felt goose bumps on her arms. The scene of seeing the wreckage was still flashing in her mind, making her tremble with fear as she was weak, pitiful and helpless.

"Don't go out alone at night, lock your door, and don't open it if someone knocks."

Lu Ban reminded.

"Can't you say something nice?"

Qin Tiantian felt helpless.

"But you usually broadcast live at night, so you won't encounter any murderers."

Lu Ban glanced at the road sign and continued walking forward.

"Can I sleep at your house tonight? Don't worry, I won't do anything!"

Qin Tiantian suggested.

"You're already grown up, you should learn to sleep alone."

Lu Ban refused immediately.

There are too many people at home right now. If Qin Tiantian comes too, it might be too crowded and affect his rest.

“Tsk tsk.”

Qin Tiantian didn't hesitate and continued walking forward.

As she walked, she suddenly felt that the surrounding scenery seemed a little strange.

Originally, it was only a dozen minutes’ walk from the back street of Jiangcheng University to the gate of the community. The surrounding scenery was very familiar to Qin Tiantian, who often came here for supper after live streaming.

But now, why do the signs of these street shops seem a little bit off?

She looked to the front left and saw a red lantern hanging on the shop with a few large characters written on an old plaque above it.

[Rongfa Coffin Shop].

"???"

Qin Tiantian's hair stood on end and he couldn't help but move closer to Lu Ban.

"Was there a coffin shop here before?"

she asked quietly.

There seemed to be a light on in the coffin shop. Qin Tiantian looked inside curiously, only to see a red candle burning slowly, illuminating the coffin shop.

There were two coffins in the shop, not closed, just displayed inside.

Next to the coffin sat an old lady with sparse white hair. The candlelight shone on her wrinkled face, which was completely black on one side and light yellow on the other.

The old lady stared at Qin Tiantian, her cloudy eyes giving people the illusion of being frightened.

Next to the old lady, there are two paper figures.

The paper man's face was extremely white, and his clothes were bright red and bright green, creating a sharp contrast. The only thing about the fake paper man was the pair of eyes on his face that looked lifelike, just like a real person's eyes.

Qin Tiantian held Lu Ban's arm and walked to the side away from the coffin shop, secretly glancing at the paper figures.

"No taboos, no taboos."

Muttering these words, Qin Tiantian closed his eyes and waited for a while. When he saw that he was about to pass the coffin shop, he couldn't help but tilt his head to take a look.

Then she saw that the eyes of those paper figures looked at her as if they had life.

"Grass!"

Qin Tiantian couldn't help but swear, and a chill came over his heart.

She saw the road sign.

【Yin Yang Road】

"!!!"

Qin Tiantian's whole body began to tremble, and her accelerated heartbeat caused a stinging sensation in her ears, which was a reaction caused by the blood rushing up.

"Are we haunted?"

Qin Tiantian looked at Lu Ban with a grim expression.

"Maybe."

Lu Ban looked at the road sign, thought for a while, and suddenly raised his head.

"What's wrong? Do you know how we can get out?"

Qin Tiantian didn't dare to let go of Lu Ban's hand and could only hold her tighter. If it were in a movie, this would be the time to feel the softness and fragrance of a girl.

But Lu Ban remained indifferent.

Imagine having your arm between two slices of bread, that's a treat.

If a steel plate and two iron bars clamp your hand, it means amputation.

Lu Ban heard Qin Tiantian's question and immediately answered.

"When I walked in just now, I felt that the road sign was wrong. It turned out that there was a problem."

"...So you discovered it later than I did?"

Qin Tiantian was speechless.

"No problem. If you have never done anything wrong in your life, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door at night. Normal ghosts won't hurt people casually. Or have you done anything wrong?"

Lu Ban explained earnestly.

"Of course I didn't!"

Qin Tiantian straightened her chest, which was strong enough to take off and land a heavy aircraft, but she suddenly felt a little guilty.

"Wait a minute, normal ghosts won't hurt people, but what about abnormal ghosts?"

"I'll kill any abnormal ghost I see."

Lu Ban said seriously.

"...Thank you so much."

Qin Tiantian couldn't help but complain.

For some reason, when she was joking with Lu Ban, her trembling stopped and she didn't seem so scared anymore.

"Just keep going forward and everything will be fine. This is the Yin-Yang Road, don't look back. Just don't look back."

Lu Ban pointed ahead, to the depths of the alley surrounded by fog.

"……Really……"

Qin Tiantian muttered something, but still followed Lu Ban obediently.

Due to her extreme nervousness, she didn't know how long she had been walking. It was very cold around her, and only Lu Ban's arm still had some warmth.

Most of the shops nearby are still open, but each one is extremely gloomy.

The food on display at the barbecue restaurant was bloody and mangled. The owner was shirtless, wearing only a dirty apron, and holding a huge kitchen knife in his hand.

The books in the bookstore all looked covered in dust, and the owner did not look like a modern person. On the bookshelves, countless talismans were pasted on them, moving in the wind.

In the clothing store, the clothes all looked like they were folded from paper, with bright red and purple colors, completely devoid of aesthetics. The paper dolls of the models had their two eyes peeking at the street.

"whee."

Hearing a chuckle coming from behind him, Qin Tiantian suppressed the urge to look back and saw a child coming out from beside him.

The child was wearing coarse clothes and his face was pale, with only his blush particularly eye-catching. He turned around, smiled at Qin Tiantian, and then went into some shop.

"This is a ghost market. Some ghosts will buy and sell in places like this."

Lu Ban explained.

"Who would understand this?"

What Qin Tiantian needs now is not popular science, but a sense of security.

"You are afraid of ghosts because you don't understand them. Fear comes from the unknown. When you have thoroughly studied and understood ghosts, they will no longer be scary."

Lu Ban explained patiently.

"I don't want to understand now, I just want to go home!"

Qin Tiantian almost cried out, she felt her legs go weak and she could hardly walk. Every move she made was a torture for her.

Just then, someone patted Qin Tiantian's right shoulder.

"Why are you filming me..."

He was about to turn back subconsciously, but Qin Tiantian suddenly reacted.

Lu Ban's left hand was on his left side and his right hand was held by himself. Where did he get the hand to slap himself?

“…”

Qin Tiantian took a deep breath, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.

“That’s good too.”

Lu Ban looked at Qin Tiantian who had fainted from fright, picked her up, and walked towards the exit of the alley.
