"What else can we do? Run!" Shen Ye said anxiously, pulling him along and running towards the village where Master Huang was. At this moment, they didn't care about their image; escaping was the priority.
The two ran for their lives, but before they had gone far, the surroundings gradually darkened, the sun disappeared, and the sky became so dark it seemed about to fall. The atmosphere was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe, but the surroundings were unusually calm.
Shen Ye knew that this was the calm before the storm!
Something big is definitely going to happen in this godforsaken place!
After running for about ten more minutes, a thick fog gradually rose around us, and everything became hazy.
The fog was too thick, and the two of them groped their way forward with difficulty, just to get to Master Huang's house as soon as possible. After all, they had already walked for several hours when they came in, and if they turned back and ran out, who knew what would happen? It was better to run in and maybe they could get to Master Huang's house soon.
As he walked, Shen Ye heard that chilling laughter again, the same kind he had heard in the bamboo forest before—eerie and piercing to the heart.
Hehehe~~hehehehe~~~
The laughter grew clearer as they walked further. Shen Ye asked Bai Xuan if he had heard it, and Bai Xuan nodded with a frown. This time, he had also heard the sound.
The two thought the sound would be the same as before, and would disappear after a while if they ignored it, but reality gave them a harsh slap in the face.
The sound didn't disappear; instead, it grew louder and louder. Moreover, a disheveled female ghost in red was sitting right next to them on their path, and the chilling laughter was coming from her.
Bai Xuan gripped Shen Ye's arm tightly, her body trembling with fear.
Bai Xuan had lived for over a decade, and this was the first time he had ever seen a ghost. And to make matters worse, it was a laughing female ghost in red.
I once heard people say that ghosts are also divided into ranks, and those in white are the lowest rank. They can cry and bewitch people. If you encounter such a ghost, just pretend you didn't see her. Even if she calls your name from behind, you must not turn around. As long as your three fires (a metaphor for your inner energy) are not extinguished, she can't do anything to you.
The female ghost in red is more difficult to deal with. Red-clad ghosts usually died unjustly and have deep resentment. As the saying goes, it's better to encounter a ghost that cries than one that laughs. You can imagine how fierce a ghost that laughs and is dressed in red must be.
Shen Ye and Bai Xuan were just ordinary high school students. They had never seen anything like this before. It would be a miracle if they weren't scared to death on the spot.
There's really nothing you can do when faced with a ferocious female ghost in red.
But this is the only road we can take. Where else can we go?
Turning back is just suicide, so we might as well grit our teeth and go forward to take a gamble. Let's pretend we didn't see anything. Maybe this ghost is just a paper tiger and is just trying to scare them.
With the same idea in mind, the two held hands, their expressions natural, walking as if there was nothing ahead of them.
The female ghost in red sat in the middle of the road, which was a narrow mountain path. Normally, two people could barely walk side by side, but now that a time bomb was sitting in the middle of the road, it was impossible to walk side by side. They could only walk one after the other.
"A wild goose carries a letter, its meaning enduring..."
The female ghost suddenly started singing, which startled the two of them.
But this place is not safe to stay in for long; no matter how scared we are, we must go.
Shen Ye was bolder than Bai Xuan, so she naturally took the lead and paved the way.
