Chapter 27 You like to show off, huh? Then I'll stab you first.
(The end of the previous chapter has been edited.)
The sound of marbles colliding can be heard. In the picture, a little girl with disheveled hair and tattered clothes looks out of place in the villa.
She kept fiddling with the marbles on the ground, the sound of which seemed incredibly eerie in the dark and silent environment, frightening everyone present into holding their breath.
"What...what is this? Is it CCTV footage?"
After a long while, someone asked in a low voice.
"But there's no little girl in the villa. None of the guests invited by Young Master Mu brought children. Who is this child?"
The more they thought about it, the stranger it seemed. Mu Qing's face turned pale, and she felt a chill run down her spine.
He moved closer to Lu Shijing, trembling as he said, "Not only did no children come today, but no child has ever been inside my villa before! She...she's not human!"
"What!"
The crowd erupted in an uproar.
In the darkness, there was a commotion in the living room.
Some people were so scared they wanted to scream, but they didn't dare, for fear of disturbing the little girl on the TV and then she would crawl out like Sadako.
Seeing that everyone was a little scared, Chen Yuan mustered up her courage and said, "Someone must be playing tricks on us to scare us!"
After she finished speaking, she walked towards the television. Yu Xiaojun couldn't help but grab her, "A Yuan, don't go over there! What if she crawls out of the television?"
The light from the television set made it possible for everyone to vaguely see the people around them. Chen Yuan noticed that after she finished speaking, everyone was looking at her.
Her inner desire to perform was stirring, and she was no longer afraid. She said smugly, "If she is a ghost, I have a way to stop her from coming out."
Chen Yuan walked over and unplugged the TV with a snap, plunging the living room into darkness until someone turned on a flashlight with their phone.
Standing beside the television, Chen Yuan looked at everyone and said, "That works! It's so simple. When I watch those horror movies, I always wonder why they don't just unplug the power. If the TV isn't playing, the things inside can't come out, right?"
The more she talked, the more she felt that she was incredibly smart. Everyone present was a celebrity and a wealthy young man from the capital. She was sure that her performance would make her famous in this circle.
But when she looked at those people, they didn't look at her with admiration; instead, they looked at her back with fear.
Everyone was terrified, sweating profusely, and backed away step by step, not daring to utter a sound to warn Chen Yuan. Only Yu Xiaojun pointed behind her and said in a trembling voice, "Yuan, she... she's out!"
"What?"
Chen Yuan's face stiffened.
She heard the rolling sound of beads beneath her feet, and when she looked down, she saw that it was a marble.
A chill ran down Chen Yuan's spine, and goosebumps rose all over her body.
"ah!"
She let out a scream and tried to run forward without looking back, but a pale little hand reached out from behind and grabbed her ankle.
With a thud.
Chen Yuan fell to the ground.
As she fell to the ground, everyone could see the little girl's face clearly. Half of her pale face was a bloody mess, with blood flowing down continuously. Her temples were covered with countless silver needles.
"Ahhh!"
"A ghost!"
Everyone was terrified and tried to escape. Some ran towards the door, while others tried to jump out of the window, but none of them could get out.
Sometime during the night, the villa's door was closed, and the windows were tightly shut. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't open them.
The little girl was still holding onto Chen Yuan's ankle, staring intently at her, "Sister, play with me."
"No, no...!"
Chen Yuan's heart-wrenching screams came as she tried to crawl toward the door, but the little girl managed to drag her back with all her might.
"Sister, you're being naughty. If you're naughty, you'll get a needle prick. A needle prick will make you good."
The little girl pulled a silver needle from her head and stuck it directly into Chen Yuan's ankle.
The little girl moved quickly; before anyone else could react, she had turned Chen Yuan's foot into a pincushion, with blood flowing onto the ground.
Chen Yuan's screams grew increasingly shrill.
"Ah! Help! Someone save me! Young Master Yu, please save me...!"
No one dared to step forward.
Yu Shaojun was banging on the door, but when he realized he couldn't break it open, he hid under the table, completely refusing to respond to Chen Yuan's cries for help.
When Chen Yuan saw the little girl climbing on her body, trying to turn her head into a hedgehog, she immediately fainted from fright.
Seeing that she had fainted, the little girl probably felt bored. Her large, sinister eyes looked at the others, and then she stared intently at Lu Shijing, who came out of the storage room.
Lu Shijing found the paper doll that Yun Shu had given him. He noticed that the little girl was staring at him with the look of someone eyeing prey, so he threw the paper doll at the little girl.
"Take it and play with it."
The paper doll fell in front of the little girl, and sure enough, she was immediately attracted to it and couldn't wait to crawl towards it.
The moment the little girl picked up the paper doll, golden runes lit up on the back of the doll, and the little girl disappeared on the spot.
The paper doll fell to the ground and underwent some changes. The eyes on the painting became lifelike, turning left and right as it looked around, with a hint of fear in them.
"Waaah." The little girl's cries gradually came over the louder end. "Let me out."
Seeing that the little girl had disappeared, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and cautiously approached from all sides.
Mu Qing asked, "Ah Jing, is she...is she trapped inside the paper effigy?"
Lu Shi nodded at the scenic spot.
Mu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, "I knew Yun Shu's gift wouldn't be for nothing, her paper offerings are different from everyone else's!"
When the others learned that the little ghost girl was trapped, waves of fear washed over them, and only then did some dare to sob quietly.
"What a terrible party! Waaaaah, I want to leave!"
"Open the door quickly, I want to leave too!"
"I want to go home! This place is too scary! Mu Qing, if your house is haunted, why did you send us here!"
Mu Qing quickly explained, "Didn't some idiot tear off the exorcism talisman on the door? Otherwise, this ghost wouldn't be able to get in!"
However, what happened today was indeed my fault. If you want to leave, you can go. I'll treat you to a meal next time to make amends!
Actually, before inviting them, Mu Qing had mentioned that this place was a bit eerie, and if anyone was afraid, they didn't have to come.
But nobody took it seriously. Some even said that the weirdness was just as good, and that it was like playing an escape room game.
Now that they've actually encountered a ghost, these people have become scared.
"Mu Qing, open the door!"
Someone urged.
Mu Qing said helplessly, "I didn't lock the door, I don't know why I can't open it."
"You did this on purpose, didn't you? You don't want us to leave, you want us to die here!"
"No, I really..."
Mu Qing wanted to explain, but Yun Shu's voice came from the stairwell, "None of you can leave. It's dark now, almost midnight, which is when the yin energy is at its strongest. Whoever leaves will die on the way."
"Damn it, you and Mu Qing are in cahoots! You're trying to kill us!"
Someone immediately got angry and grabbed a chair and smashed it against the window.
A loud bang rang out, breaking the chair, but the glass window remained completely undamaged.
Lu Shijing saw this and said coldly, "I just called an ambulance, but there's no cell phone signal. We must be surrounded by some kind of magnetic field. We can't contact the outside world, and we can't get out."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Yun Shu, wanting to verify whether his guess was correct.
Yun Shu nodded, looking at the crying paper doll on the ground. "I've already trapped her, so she shouldn't be able to use ghost magic anymore. But the magnetic field surrounding the villa is still there, which can only mean one thing."
