Few girls are brave enough to be flustered. Wang Yan only managed to stay calm because Wu An was by her side. Seeing that Wu An seemed to have made contact with Ji Hongxi, she didn't pay attention to the anomaly on her phone and just curled up next to Wu An to wait.
On the other hand, quite some time had passed since Wang Qiang last contacted Wang Yan, and he was getting anxious. The problem was that every time he called his older sister, the call wouldn't go through, which made him even more worried. But he was also afraid of causing an accident for Wu An, the motorcyclist.
Yu Ling had actually sensed the presence of people as soon as they got close. The two seemed to be under a spell, and instead of going to their villa, they turned a corner and went to the even more eerie villa next door.
But it was pitch black outside the window, and no one could see anything. She couldn't very well stand up and say that Wang Yan and Wu An had gone next door, could she?
"Alright, your sister should be here soon. Let's grab our things and head straight to meet them. We'll start the live stream right outside."
Ji Hongxi spoke directly. He was becoming more and more restless as he sat there, and he couldn't even play on his phone anymore. Logically speaking, the two of them should have arrived long ago on their motorcycles. Even if they were riding slowly because it was dark, they shouldn't still be here by now!
Yu Ling was the first to reply that it was okay. After sharing the items with Wang Qiang and Zhou Qi, she would only have a backpack left, which contained her sleeping bag, food, power bank, and other things, so she could just carry it with her.
Seeing that she moved quickly, Ji Hongxi also put on his bag, took out the flashlight from his pocket, and the four of them walked outside.
The flashlights had limited illumination outdoors, and given the unusual darkness, visibility was very low, so they could only slowly move forward to find the person.
Wang Qiang thought he would have to wait a long time for this trip, but as soon as he got to the front of the villa, he saw a motorcycle coming from a distance. He thought it was Wang Yan and Wu An and hurriedly went up to greet them.
"sister!"
But to everyone's surprise, the dark figure jumped off the motorcycle and sped off towards the door of the neighboring villa, disappearing in a flash.
Needless to say, they must have gone into the wrong house!
"Sister, brother-in-law, why did you go inside? We're right here!" Wang Qiang was anxious and was about to go over to call for help, but Ji Hongxi grabbed him from the side.
Ji Hongxi asked with a suspicious expression:
"Qiangzi, what's wrong with you? There's no one up ahead!"
"I clearly just saw my sister..."
Qiangzi wanted to explain, but when he shone the flashlight again, there was no sign of the motorcycle.
The group of people were stunned and subconsciously took a few steps back. Could it be that they had... encountered the real deal?
Only Yu Ling silently watched from the sidelines.
In reality, they haven't even left the villa yet. They've been circling around in circles since they arrived here. There's no sign of any motorcycles or people; they're all fake.
However, Yu Ling's motionless and silent demeanor seemed too out of place, but the illusion created by the ghost in the room didn't seem to have any effect on her.
How are we supposed to act this out?!
Let's get back to the villa next door.
After Wu An spoke with 'Ji Hongxi', the other party told them to meet on the third floor.
Logically speaking, aside from the location of the adventure live stream, it's impossible for Ji Hongxi, with his personality, to so brazenly barge into other villas, especially since he went to such a high place before.
Wu An recognized the voice as Ji Hongxi's. He wasn't a believer in ghosts or gods, so he didn't think much of it. Wouldn't it be better to ask questions face-to-face? He then headed straight for the stairs.
Wang Yan felt a warmth in his hand as he held hers, but she was quite resistant to going upstairs. She felt something was off. When they were halfway up, she glanced down and saw a fluffy ball-shaped object rolling on the wooden table on the first floor. Her heart sank, and she quickly shook off Wu An's arm.
Wu An was stunned, and asked in confusion:
"Xiao Yan, what are you doing?"
Wang Yan pointed downstairs, her face deathly pale, and said:
"I... I remember now, when that thing fell, it clearly hit the floor, but how... how did it end up on the table?"
Wu An's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously looked downstairs, shining the flashlight from his phone in the same direction. Sure enough, he saw the little thing on the wooden table wriggling around as if it were actually moving, and he gasped in surprise.
This...this thing looks more and more like a head.
Seeing this, Wang Yan's legs trembled. She nudged Wu An, then pointed to the small trinket on the wooden table, her lips quivering as she asked:
"W-What...what could this be? What...what should we do?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Wu An panicked. Although he wasn't afraid to play tricks with Ji Hongxi and the others, it didn't mean he was truly brave enough to not be afraid of strange things now. He shouted at the top of his lungs towards the top of the stairs:
"Ji Hongxi—Qiangzi—Are you up there—?"
His voice carried far, but no one came down, and he heard no reply.
"What if Qiangzi and the others aren't upstairs at all? Should we go out first?" Wang Yan asked timidly.
"Okay, if we really can't find anyone, let's go home. This place is too eerie."
They had already climbed halfway up the stairs and were now running frantically down, but the steps beneath their feet seemed to increase as they ran, making it impossible to go down.
As the two ran, their tightly clasped hands unconsciously separated. Wang Yan was so focused on running that she didn't notice a figure rushing towards her from behind. Before she could react, she was pushed to the ground by a powerful force.
Immediately afterwards, a pair of cold hands gripped her neck.
Her throat was being choked, making it difficult to breathe. Wang Yan's face turned bright red, and she struggled to look up at the person who had entered. It was Wu An's delicate face. The once affectionate lover was now filled with murderous intent and gloom. His eyes were bloodshot, and he was letting out incoherent roars.
"Wu An, what's wrong? Wake up! Cough cough..."
——
Ghosts can stir up fear in people's hearts.
Yu Ling could tell that this yin energy was affecting the mood of those around her to some extent.
Wang Qiang was worried about his older sister. Ji Hongxi was scared when she arrived. Zhou Qi was too shy to tell anything yet, but his hand holding the camera was trembling a little. As for Yu Ling herself, she was a ghost, so she couldn't be deceived because she had no physical body. Even if she was scared, she wouldn't fall for it.
But it's not good to just watch them waste time at the door.
Yu Ling stroked her chin, pretending to think.
Thinking failed.
I don't want to think about it anymore!
She rubbed her hands together, stood in front of the three of them, and swung her arm around in a wide arc.
"Slap—" "Slap—" "Slap—"
After those three slaps, Yu Ling's hand wasn't red at all, but Ji Hongxi and the other two had their left cheeks swollen up quite a bit.
