Chapter 264: Midnight Haunted House 51
The three of them watched the footprints go away. The first one to come back to his senses was Ye Jian. He looked at Su Qingyun and asked her with a smile, "Captain, are you really regretting not bringing the trap with you now?"
If you have a trap, just pull the trigger gently in the direction of the footprint, and the invisible ghost will be easily caught.
Su Qingyun didn't say anything, but took out something similar to a slingshot from the backpack behind her. She said to Ye Jian, "This can still shoot capture bullets."
"Oh, the captain was prepared, why didn't he take action just now?"
"I'm waiting for the rules. What if there's a fire investigation or something like that in our rules? We'll need to rely on these haunting ghosts in the house."
"That's a good idea." Ye Jian looked around, then at the time. He said, "We've been here for so long, why haven't they come up with any rules yet?"
"Maybe there are no new rules." Xu Xinghe took over the conversation. He said that there were no new rules for the last missions at Zeng's old house and Butcher Village, only the parking lot had new rules. Could it be that the parking lot had new rules because it was different from the haunted house in their understanding, so separate rules were issued.
"What Mr. Xu said makes sense. No. 33 Qingshui Hutong has become a haunted house in the traditional sense again. So our cleaning method will return to the original mode: cleaning under the bed."
Ye Jian then added, "I've never done anything like cleaning under beds in my life, so I bet Chief Xu has never done it either."
Su Qingyun immediately questioned upon hearing this, "What do you mean, Ye Jian, do you want me to do it alone?"
Ye Jian said, "Look at you, why are you so angry? I just said that Mr. Xu and I have never done the job of cleaning under the bed, but I didn't say we won't do it."
Su Qingyun took out two garbage bags, one black and one red, from her bag. She handed them to Ye Jian indifferently. Her meaning was very clear: it was useless to just talk, so she had to do it now.
Ye Jian did not take the garbage bag, but reached out and took the slingshot from Su Qingyun's other hand.
He said, “I like this better.”
Then he took out two "marbles" from Su Qingyun's backpack and pushed open a room with a smile.
Xu Xinghe came over to comfort Su Qingyun, "It's okay, I'll clean under the bed later."
Su Qingyun nodded, but her eyes were always fixed on Ye Jian. She felt that something was wrong with Ye Jian tonight.
There are two rooms on the second floor, symmetrical on the left and right. Su Qingyun entered the room on the left.
The room is not big, but it is decorated quite exquisitely. It can be seen that the owner of this room likes flowers very much, because there are vases everywhere in the room.
Now there are only some withered flower stems on these vases, which are also covered with black ash.
Su Qingyun reached out and touched the vase. She originally just wanted to check the thickness of the dust on the vase, but she didn't expect that as soon as her hand touched the vase, a woman's stern voice sounded in her ears.
Don't touch them
She quickly turned around, but before she could see clearly, a net covered her face.
Right in front of her, Ye Jian raised a slingshot. What kind of catching net was this person shooting at her?
She did hear the sound, but it wasn't hers.
"Ye Jian?"
"Shh." Ye Jian made a silencing gesture, signaling Su Qingyun not to speak. He also told her not to get close to him, and even asked Su Qingyun to quickly clean under the bed with Xu Xinghe.
"What's wrong with you? Are you playing tricks on us?" I have the impression that Ye Jian is not that kind of person. He was too weird tonight.
Su Qingyun questioned Ye Jian. The sound she heard just now was only in this room, but she didn't see anything substantial. Why did Ye Jian shoot a slingshot at her head?
If the purpose is to capture the ghost that made the sound, and that ghost is still in this room, shouldn't the three of them deal with the female ghost?
Why did he ask her to clean under the bed with Xu Xinghe?
Su Qingyun took out a slingshot from her backpack and pointed it at Ye Jian. She said, "Ye Jian, are you possessed? Why are you shooting the slingshot at me?"
"No, when did I shoot a slingshot at you?" Ye Jian denied it. He put the slingshot into his bag and raised his hands, letting Su Qingyun see his empty hands.
There's something really wrong with this guy.
Su Qingyun took out a catching net, pulled the slingshot to its full extent and shot directly at Ye Jian.
The net opened and covered Ye Jian's forehead. He still didn't move, but tried hard to look behind him.
Su Qingyun also looked behind him, and this sight made her gasp.
There was a person on Ye Jian's back, it was the old woman who had given them water before.
At this time, the old woman's withered fingers were digging into Ye Jian's shoulder blades tightly. The edge of her charred skirt was still stained with unburned cloth scraps. Occasionally, a faint burnt smell similar to burnt cotton wool floated in the air.
The half of her face that Su Qingyun had seen had wrinkled skin as if licked by flames, and her exposed eyeballs were cloudy but filled with a stubborn ruthlessness, as if she wanted to vent all the resentment she had not yet burned out on Ye Jian.
The moment the old woman appeared, Xu Xinghe pulled Su Qingyun to his side and called out Ye Jian.
Ye Jian chuckled, his tone still relaxed, "I was just joking, why did you take it so seriously?"
But his expression did not change, and he still tried hard to look over his shoulder.
Su Qingyun finally understood that Ye Jian must have felt a ghost on his back, but he had no way to get the ghost off, so he had acted uncharacteristically and shot her with a slingshot just now.
In that case... Su Qingyun pulled out a peach wood sword from behind her and pointed it at Ye Jian, then slowly took out a talisman from the cloth bag.
She didn't know how to exorcise ghosts, but now she wanted to try.
"Grandma, I advise you to get off my team member." Su Qingyun lowered her voice, her eyes fixed on the ghost's hand clasping Ye Jian's skin - there were already several blue-black finger marks there, as if they were about to embed into the flesh.
Xu Xinghe stood beside Su Qingyun and took out a cinnabar inkstone from his backpack. He held the inkstone in one hand and straightened the ink line covered with cinnabar ink with the other hand.
Su Qingyun didn't know how to exorcise ghosts, and Xu Xinghe naturally didn't know how to do it either, but now that there was a ghost thing attached to Ye Jian, both of them wanted to give it a try.
Whether it works or not, let’s do it first and see.
The two men approached Ye Jian at the same time, and then launched an attack at the same time. Ye Jian, who had been pretending to be indifferent, suddenly groaned and his back suddenly arched, as if his heart was being tightly grasped.
The old woman's ghost twisted violently on his back, its scorched skirt sweeping through the air, sending up a wave of scorching air. Su Qingyun's eyes and hands were quick, and he swung his peach wood sword diagonally, drawing a streak of silver light with the help of the flashlight, and then slashed at the old woman's wrist.
There was a shrill scream, and the withered hand suddenly loosened half an inch. Ye Jian's forehead was sweating from the pain, but he gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound.
At this time, Xu Xinghe had already run behind Ye Jian. He exerted force with his hands, and the cinnabar instantly spread out and all hit the old woman.
The ghost's outline trembled violently, as if caught in an invisible net. The hot wind caused by its struggle gradually cooled down, and finally turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared.
Su Qingyun retracted the peach wood sword, looked at the little bit of burnt ash left on the ground, and said softly: "The old woman just ran away."
