Chapter 174 Return the skull to me——
Old Chen was the first to wake up. He rubbed his head, and there was still some confusion and fear in his eyes.
After seeing the dark and strange environment around him.
I was even more frightened.
I almost fainted again.
He trembled and said, "Where...where is this? How did we get here?"
His voice was full of tension and a hint of crying.
The skinny monkey gradually woke up. He shook his head and muttered in a daze: "Ouch, my head hurts so much..."
When he opened his eyes and saw this strange and gloomy place, his face turned pale.
Subconsciously, I leaned closer to Lao Chen.
"I...are we dead?" Old Chen asked with his eyes wide open and a trembling voice.
Having done something wrong, they were now feeling extremely anxious.
Zheng Cheng's face flashed through my mind involuntarily.
Skinny Monkey was also frightened, but after hearing what Lao Chen said, he still managed to respond:
"Don't... don't talk nonsense. If I were dead, how could I talk so clearly? I guess... I guess I was taken to some strange place."
As he spoke, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his hand.
The dim light, coupled with the faint green light and pungent musty smell emanating from the surroundings, really makes people feel creepy.
"It's all your fault!"
Old Chen couldn't help but complain, "If I had known earlier, I should have just slept in the dormitory instead of dragging me to the casino!"
Now the money is gone.
I almost lost my life.
"If you weren't greedy, would I be able to fool you?" The skinny monkey retorted unwillingly to be outdone.
When Old Chen heard this, he became even more furious and said with wide eyes:
"I just listened to your exaggerated talk, saying that it was a sure win, but in the end, not only did I lose all my money, I was also chased and beaten by those thugs, and now I'm trapped in this hellhole. You think you're right!"
As he said that, he pushed the skinny monkey.
The skinny monkey was caught off guard, staggered back a few steps, and fell directly to the ground.
“Ouch!”
The skinny monkey screamed and sat down on the ground. Something hit his butt and he grimaced in pain.
He subconsciously picked up the thing and looked at it.
In the misty, eerie green light, the skinny monkey held...
It's like holding a skull!
"This...what the hell is this!"
The skinny monkey's face turned pale in an instant, his eyes widened, and his hands felt like they were burned. He was so scared that he forgot to throw the skull away and shouted in a trembling voice.
Old Chen was still angry.
When he saw the skull in the skinny monkey's hand, he was so scared that he took several steps back.
His face was as pale as paper, and he could barely speak clearly: "Where did you get this thing from? Why is there this thing in this place? Is this a ghost?"
A shadow flashed past their eyes like a ghost.
Extremely fast.
Only a vague shadow was left in the gloomy green light, and it disappeared into the depths of the warehouse in an instant, bringing with it a gust of cold wind.
The wind made everyone shiver.
Old Chen and Skinny Monkey were so frightened that their souls were about to be blown away. Old Chen screamed "Ah" and collapsed to the ground, muttering:
"It's over, it's over, there really is a ghost!!!"
His eyes were as big as copper bells, staring at the direction where the afterimage disappeared.
The body trembled uncontrollably.
It seemed as if I would faint in the next second.
The skinny monkey was not in a much better situation. He held the skull tightly in his hands and didn't care about being afraid of it anymore. He curled up into a ball.
My teeth were chattering.
He cried out, "Help, help, I don't want to die!"
dark place.
Su Qian and Lu Yao looked at their panicked and embarrassed appearance and snorted coldly.
"Don't want to die?"
Su Qian muttered to herself with a hint of disdain in her tone, "When you gave false testimony and falsely claimed that Zheng Cheng had 'committed suicide,' did you ever consider that Zheng Cheng didn't want to die either?"
That’s right, the horrifying scenes in the warehouse were all arranged by Su Qian.
The ghost-controlling talisman that Li Yi had given him before could summon little ghosts to help with things, and it just came in handy now.
"What...what should we do? Zheng Cheng must be here to take our life. We...we're afraid we can't escape." Old Chen cried in despair.
"I shouldn't have taken the money in the first place. Now...what should I do now? Zheng Cheng must hate us to death. This...this is asking for our lives."
"Shut up!"
Skinny Monkey suddenly yelled at Lao Chen, "He's already dead, there's no point in regretting it!"
There was a hint of irritation and panic in his voice.
But after yelling, he immediately showed a look of fear.
"Let's find a way to leave here first." The skinny monkey said tremblingly.
After hearing what Skinny Monkey said, Old Chen came to his senses a little, "Right, right, let's get out of here first."
The two of them stood close together, moving cautiously towards the side of the warehouse.
Sudden!
I stepped on something hard.
There was a crisp "click" sound.
Old Chen and Skinny Monkey were so frightened that they trembled all over and froze in place in an instant. They opened their eyes wide, not daring to breathe, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.
"ah!"
Old Chen couldn't help but scream and jumped back.
As a result, he lost his balance and fell to the ground, shouting in fear:
"Another...another skull! This...this must be Zheng Cheng coming to take our lives. It's over, it's over. We...we're dead!"
He shouted and crawled backwards using his hands and feet.
"Give me back the skull—"
At this moment, an ethereal voice sounded faintly in the warehouse.
Old Chen and Skinny Monkey felt their scalps tingling instantly. When they raised their eyes, a bloody human figure suddenly appeared in front of them.
His body was broken and his limbs were twisted.
There seemed to be a faint light flickering in the two empty eye sockets, staring at them intently.
The skinny monkey trembled even more violently.
The skull in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.
He shouted in a broken voice, "Zheng...Zheng Cheng, is that you? We were wrong, we were really wrong, please let us go!"
He kowtowed so hard that the skin on his forehead was soon broken and blood oozed out.
But he felt no pain at all, his heart filled with fear and regret.
Old Chen also kowtowed like crazy, muttering:
"Zheng Cheng, we shouldn't have perjured ourselves. We were blinded by greed. We are willing to do anything to make amends. We only ask that you don't take our lives!"
His tears and snot mixed together, making him look miserable.
The whole person was almost on the verge of collapse.
When the little ghost appeared, Su Qian couldn't help but tremble and subconsciously leaned towards Lu Yao.
Lu Yao felt Su Qian approaching, turned slightly sideways, and raised the corner of his mouth.
I thought this little girl was very brave.
