With his fingertips pressed on the repeater, Chen Ge bent down slightly, his muscles tensed like a fully drawn bow.
He still remembered clearly the encounter with Hongyi from the Ghost Story Association in the Fanghuayuan community. That day, he summoned the Pen Fairy and Xu Yin at the same time, but he only blocked Hongyi for less than ten seconds.
This was his second time facing Hong Yi without Zhang Ya. The difference from Fang Hua Yuan was that this time he brought out all the ghosts in the haunted house, and was fully prepared.
"Ten against one, there shouldn't be any problem!"
With his hair standing on end, Chen Ge was ready to fight with all his strength.
The ghost baby outside the door looked at the wooden door. The surface of its body slowly wrinkled, and pungent red liquid dripped from its skin. After the liquid fell to the ground, it revolved around it like tadpoles.
All the blood drops seemed to have their own consciousness, and looked like the blood threads on the monsters of the Ghost Story Association, mixed with resentment and death, which was chilling.
"This child looks only a few months old, not even old enough to remember things. How could he carry such strong resentment?"
Chen Ge still hasn't figured out the conditions for the formation of red clothes. He only knows a few key points. First, he must be full of resentment before death, and second, he must be extremely aggressive!
Each of the red-clothed ghosts is synonymous with cruelty and brutality. Their first reaction when seeing other ghosts is to tear them to pieces and then swallow them!
Both Zhang Ya and Xu Yin showed similar characteristics.
Facing the man in red, Chen Ge did not dare to be careless at all.
The light from the lanterns became dimmer, and the walls on both sides of the street turned faintly red. The baby slowly turned its body, and instead of launching an attack directly, it slowly crawled towards the direction of the wooden door.
Blood was flowing under its body, and it seemed that it would flow towards the wooden door at any time.
At the critical moment, Chen Ge rehearsed in his mind. He planned to summon Xu Yin first, and then keep a distance and use Yan Danian's ability. Even if he couldn't pull the ghost baby into the comic, he should be able to slow it down.
Taking this opportunity, he summoned other evil spirits from the comic book, and all the ghosts attacked together, trying to severely injure the ghost baby in one go.
Chen Ge has been avoiding direct conflict with the Red Clothes Man, but that doesn't mean he has no ability to fight.
"It's very risky, but if we can kill the ghost baby and let Xu Yin swallow it, then Xu Yin can 100% become the new Red Dress!"
Thinking of this, Chen Ge finally made a decision to fight to the death!
The ghost pupils emitted a hint of coolness. He was ready, but the ghost baby outside the door suddenly stopped. Its wrinkled ears moved, and it seemed that a woman was calling its name from a long distance away.
A trace of fear and dread appeared on the ugly face. The blood drops on the ground returned to his body, and his skin returned to its original state. The ghost baby left at a faster speed than before.
It was not until the ghost baby crawled away that Chen Ge slowly loosened his clenched hands and moved his body with difficulty.
"I don't know whether it's a good thing or a bad thing for this child in red to leave." Chen Ge had a complicated expression. With the ghost baby leaving, he avoided a fight that he had little chance of winning, but the woman's voice could scare the ghost baby away, which meant that there were red-clothed children in the village who were more terrifying than the ghost baby. Next time they met, he might have to deal with two red-clothed children at the same time.
"It's a three-star horror scene after all." After moving his wrist, Chen Ge stood up and turned back to Old Wei and Mr. Bai and said, "It's okay for now, that thing has left."
"You are so startled. What on earth came over here? Did it stay outside our door for a long time?" Lao Wei rubbed his nose and said, "I can smell blood through the door."
"It's a little baby."
"baby?"
"I can't explain it to you clearly." Chen Ge was too lazy to explain: "You just need to remember that if you see a monster in red in this village, hide quickly. Don't try to resist. Even running away from it is unnecessary."
"Red clothes..." Lao Wei nodded and wrote down the word: "Where are we going now?"
"Let's stay in this house for now." As the night deepened, more and more terrifying things began to appear in the Living Coffin Village, and Chen Ge did not dare to relax any longer.
"Although the trial mission of this Living Coffin Village is only a short sentence, it is probably more difficult than the third ward."
Living is just two simple words, but for Chen Ge now, it is a big challenge.
"Ghost baby, the woman who scared the ghost baby away, there are at least two people in red clothes in the Living Coffin Village, and the strength of the woman is probably much stronger than the ordinary people in red clothes." Chen Ge looked back at his own shadow, and he suddenly realized that except for Zhang Ya and Xu Yin, the other evil spirits in the horror house were just guys who looked fierce on the surface.
"Luckily I didn't do anything. It would have been embarrassing if we were ten against one and still got wiped out."
Chen Ge touched the white cat's head. The white cat, which had just performed a great deed, had not yet recovered from its shock. It looked at Chen Ge with a pair of heterochromatic eyes, with the hair on its neck still standing up.
"Don't be afraid. If you are in danger, remember to tell me. I won't leave you alone."
Chen Ge carried a bag on his back and stood in the yard with a skull crusher in his hand. The old house was quite large, overgrown with weeds, and there were two dead trees in the yard.
"There's a lantern hanging on the door. There may be ghosts hiding in the house. Be careful, both of you."
"Chen Ge, wait a moment." Grandpa Bai shone the flashlight on the two trees in the yard. "Do you think this tree looks familiar? The branches are withered, the roots are exposed, and there is a big bulge in the middle. It looks a bit like the tree planted on the corpse of the eldest daughter of the Zhu family?"
After hearing what Mr. Bai said, Chen Ge also felt that there was some similarity. Zhu Xinrou was stuffed into the peach tree pit upside down.
Pushing the tree trunk with both hands, the roots underneath had already rotted, and Chen Ge could vaguely see a person buried under the tree pit.
"Don't push the tree down." Grandpa Bai stopped Chen Ge. "There was a similar saying in the village before. It seems that after a person who is possessed by evil spirits dies, they should be buried upside down in the ground like this, and then a peach tree should be planted on top of them. This way, the evil spirit in them can be suppressed."
"So this is to suppress evil?" Chen Ge touched the tree trunk and felt something was wrong: "Master, the trees planted on these two corpses don't seem to be peach trees."
The yard was pitch black, and the three men looked for a long time before they recognized that the tree planted on the two corpses was a locust tree.
"The locust tree is said to be a ghost in the wood. This is the first time I've seen a locust tree planted on a corpse." Grandpa Bai grabbed Chen Ge's arm and said, "It's better to have less trouble than more. Anyway, it won't bring bad luck to it if you don't touch it."
"That's not necessarily true. There are two bodies buried in the yard. This house is definitely not clean. Maybe we are being targeted now."
