"Oh, sorry, I'm still cooking in the kitchen, so I won't tell you anymore.
"After saying this, the woman quickly turned around and ran into the kitchen.
"Gu Mingtai, what do you think about this matter?" Zhang Meng asked the man next to her.
"Don't worry, let's go to the other two houses to see if they have returned?" Zhang Meng nodded after hearing this, and the couple quickly left from the door of this house.
After they left, the window of the room they had just looked at suddenly opened, revealing a child's face. However, this child's face did not have the vitality of an ordinary living person. The whole face looked like a dead person's face, gray and pale.
After the couple visited the other two families, they got the same result as the first one: the three missing children all returned home on their own.
Another thing they have in common is that after returning, these three children locked themselves in the house and refused to come out no matter how much their families knocked on the door.
"How could this happen? We clearly found two bloody shirts in that abandoned house before. Judging from the amount of blood on the clothes, the owners of the clothes must have been dead. How could the three of them still be back home now? It's so strange."
At this time, Gu Mingtai glanced back from time to time. Just when Zhang Meng was about to say the second sentence, she was suddenly grabbed by him by the arm. "Don't say anything. Let's go home first. We can talk about it when we get back."
After saying this, he turned around and glanced behind him. Zhang Meng's face changed slightly when she saw his action. She hummed, and the couple immediately quickened their pace and walked back towards the courtyard.
It was not until they entered the house that the young couple turned around and looked behind them.
At this moment, Monk Jingchen suddenly patted their shoulders from behind without warning.
"What are you two doing sneaking around here? Is something chasing you?"
After asking, Monk Jingchen opened the door and took a look outside. When he closed the door, his brows immediately furrowed. He looked at the couple and said, "Where on earth did you two go to provoke such a thing?"
Zhang Meng noticed that Monk Jingchen looked unhappy, so he immediately chased after him and asked, "Master Jingchen, do you recognize that ghost that just followed us back? What is he, and why does he smell so bad?"
Monk Jingchen glanced at them both with concern, "Have you ever heard of ghouls?"
Zhang Meng shook her head. "I've never heard of it. What kind of ghost is this? Is it a ghost that eats corpses?"
Monk Jingchen shook his head. "This ghoul not only eats corpses, but also humans, just like an evil ghost. However, this thing is held in the depths of Hell, and there are no such things active in the mortal world anymore. How could it appear here today?"
After listening to Monk Jingchen's explanation, Zhang Meng suddenly remembered the two blood-stained clothes they had found in the abandoned house before. They were probably eaten by that zombie.
"Where did you two bring that thing back?" The more he thought about it, the more wrong it seemed. Monk Jingchen looked at them with a look of disappointment and asked.
Gu Mingtai touched his nose and spoke slowly, "Master, do you remember those three women who came to us when we were having dinner?"
Monk Jingchen thought about it, and quickly figured it out. He nodded and said, "I remember. What's the matter? Is there any connection between that ghoul and the three of them?"
"Yes, we found two bloody clothes in that abandoned house. Xiao Meng asked Xiao Tao and the others, and they said those two clothes belonged to two of the three children. But we just went to those three families and asked, and they all told me that their children went home on their own."
Monk Jingchen stroked his beard and said, "I still don't understand what you are talking about. Where did that ghoul come from?"
Seeing this, Zhang Meng pulled Gu Mingtai behind her and explained to him, "Actually, the matter is very simple. The ghoul that followed us here is one of those three people."
Upon hearing this, Monk Jingchen's expression immediately changed. "This is terrible! If those three children are really gone and are still alive, then their families will be in danger!"
The couple's faces suddenly changed, and they immediately ran into the house to prepare the magic tools.
Not long after, when the couple ran out, they had several more things on them.
As soon as Monk Jingchen saw what they were carrying, he knew they were going to capture the ghoul! "The ghoul is a ghost that has always been held in the deepest part of hell. Those held at the bottom are often the most terrifying. You two better be careful. That thing is very cunning. Don't let it fool you."
As they went out, Monk Jingchen stood behind them and muttered a few words.
The young couple who walked out did not take his words to heart until they really suffered losses and were cheated. Then they realized that what Monk Jingchen said should really be remembered.
At this time, the couple hurried to the first house. This time, they knocked on the door several times, but it was still quiet inside and no one came out to open the door.
This situation was completely different from when they first came. Not long ago, they knocked twice before someone came out to open the door.
But now, after knocking more than ten times, it seemed like there was no one inside.
But it was impossible that there was no one there, because the couple could still see smoke rising from the roof of the kitchen inside.
"Since no one answers, let's just break in." After knocking for a while, Zhang Meng really didn't want to wait like this any longer, so she suggested to Gu Mingtai.
"You keep an eye on it for me, I'll open the door." After saying this, he gave her a reassuring look.
Zhang Meng looked at him curiously, and finally walked to the back and observed the surroundings.
Less than two minutes later, Zhang Meng, who had been paying attention to her surroundings, suddenly heard her husband's voice behind her, "It's OK."
