Chapter 18: Haunted Houses in the Republic of China (XVIII)
"Yin Lang..."
The woman's cries echoed in the yard as if with 4D sound effects, shrill and eerie.
When humans hear this sound, they will feel like countless nails scratching a blackboard in their heads. Compared with the damage to the ears, the damage to the human spirit may be greater.
"Yin Lang, I heard you playing the flute. Are you here to see me?"
"...Come and see, don't you like your sister's eyes? I dug them out, why don't you come and see me? Look, my eyes now are your sister's eyes. I have your favorite eyes. Can you like me too?"
The mad ghost moved quickly in the direction of the flute sound. Perhaps stimulated by the flute sound, it could no longer maintain its sweet disguise and revealed its horrible appearance that was soaked in well water when it died.
Its previously broken leg was now replaced by a more robust limb, and something unknown was wriggling on the exposed muscles.
After being stimulated, it rushed into a yard without any ability to distinguish, and the sound of the flute disappeared here.
The ghost sensed danger and looked around anxiously, backing away little by little. "Yin Lang?"
“Crash…”
It stepped on a hard chain, and before it had a chance to react, the trap on the ground immediately caught its feet and hung it upside down.
A dozen chains with yellow runes attached to them bound its legs tightly. In the dark night, the cinnabar runes flickered faintly, and the frequency of the cinnabar flickering became faster and faster as the ghost struggled.
"Bang!" An iron chain was broken by it, and the yellow talisman turned into ashes. These things could not stop it for long.
It let out a sharp cry, and cracks appeared on the wall not far away, and the flowerpot in the corner was directly shattered.
The fragile human body is more affected. A faint fluctuation appears in a seemingly deserted corner. Humans may not be able to detect it, but ghosts will immediately lock onto the person hiding there.
Because it was temporarily inconvenient to move, the goblin simply tore off his arm and threw it away. The broken limb that fell to the ground seemed to immediately have its own consciousness. It twitched on the ground, but in an instant something broke through the skin, and the arm swelled and grew, gradually turning into something similar to its new leg.
The broken arm suddenly jumped up, its movements were extremely agile, and with one claw it instantly tore through a layer of fragile camouflage in the air. The person hiding behind it reacted extremely quickly and rolled to the side to avoid the opponent's attack.
This claw, which seemed to have self-awareness, was a bit like the one in Xia Yingnuan's room. There was a crack on the palm of its hand, revealing the sharp teeth inside.
The man who dodged the fatal attack suddenly pulled out a piece of rag, and when the claws behind him pounced on him, he suddenly stopped and raised the cloth backwards.
The claws rammed directly into the tattered cloth, and the seemingly soft and fragile fabric wrapped it tightly.
In this brief moment, the ghost's body broke free from most of the chains and pounced on the man. The indescribable stench of the corpse stimulated people's nerves, and even the experienced player was vomited by the fumes. This small mistake allowed the ghost to approach her in an instant.
“Tsk…”
Chang Yue cursed in her heart, remembering that she couldn't look the other person in the eye, so she lowered her head, took out a handful of black powder from her pocket, threw it behind her, and continued running without looking back. The powder specks of dust stuck to the ghost's skin, just like sulfuric acid poured on it, and it instantly burned and emitted smoke.
The ghost let out a shrill scream. Chang Yue, who was so close to it, groaned. All she could hear was a buzzing tinnitus. She could feel liquid flowing out of her ears. She guessed that she would become deaf for the rest of the day in this dungeon.
In order to trap this ghost, she almost emptied her family's savings. If the props this time were not rare items, then Miss Ning would have... kicked the cotton.
A chase broke out in the Xia Mansion. The completely enraged Second Miss Xia chased Chang Yue relentlessly. The other things in the Xia Mansion were frightened and huddled in the corner, not daring to stick their heads out.
"Bang!"
Chang Yue rushed into a room without even having time to close the door. Seeing that she was seeking her own death, the ghost let out a sharp laugh.
However, Miss Xia Er, who had already regarded humans as food, did not find any humans after entering the room. There were only many lanterns and candles in the room, making it as bright as daytime.
Miss Xia Er is not afraid of light like ordinary weak ghosts. Although the light of the candle may make her feel a little uncomfortable, it cannot cause much damage.
But her eyes fell on a large mirror placed at the door. With the help of the firelight, the appearance of the ghost was clearly reflected in the mirror.
It was an ugly sight that made people sick. Miss Xia, who regarded beauty as her life and could not tolerate anyone more beautiful than herself, raised her rotten hand that was dripping with yellow water and touched her face.
Suddenly, it heard a voice saying, "With the way you look, Yin Lang will definitely not want you."
This sentence was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. The goblin smashed the mirror with a slap and screamed and wailed, but even after the mirror shattered on the ground, there were still countless fragments that could reflect her appearance, and even more.
"No, I'm not like this, this is not me! Yin Lang, don't hide from me, I really don't look like this, this is fake! This is fake! This is not my face... Wait a minute, don't you like my sister's face? Wait a minute, I'll peel off my sister's face, I will soon be as beautiful as my sister, wait for me..." The monster fell to the ground, shaking his head and talking to himself, as if he was in a self-hallucination and talking to that Yin Lang.
After mumbling to itself for a while, it suddenly laughed, "You agree? Okay, okay... I'll go to my sister right away. That bitch is just like her mother, only knowing how to steal my sister's man. I'll peel off her skin and see how she can still steal my man."
The monster grinned foolishly and tried to get up, but at this moment a voice suddenly came from behind her.
"Yaoyao."
The gentle call touched a memory deep in the monster's soul. Miss Xia, who was slumped on the ground, turned her head mechanically, and all the surrounding light was extinguished. The monster didn't even know when a shadow enveloped him.
"laugh!"
The woman holding the umbrella in the house was standing, and the dog was sitting on the ground, and the other party stabbed its forehead with a dagger.
Bright red blood flowed down its face. Of course, this blood did not belong to it, but to its sister whose eyes it had gouged out.
A crazy monster, when stabbed in the vitals by humans, only had astonishment and fear in its eyes, and even forgot to fight back.
Slender...slender...
Ever since it could remember, it remembered that there was someone who always called it like this, and even when it was dying, the other person drowned it in the well in such a gentle way.
The monster opened its eyes wide, and stared at Ning Hanqi with the most beautiful part of its body, trying to make a final struggle, but soon the eyes lost their luster, and it stretched out its claws tremblingly, as if trying to grab Ning Hanqi's throat.
But unfortunately, before its sharp claws could touch Ning Hanqi, its body gradually turned into a pool of foul-smelling liquid. In the end, only its head was left falling to the ground. The ghost opened its mouth slightly and muttered a word indistinctly with a crying voice.
"Plop." But in a flash, only two eyeballs were left and fell into the foul-smelling liquid.
Ning Hanqi put away the oil-paper umbrella given in the game. This prop can hide a person's breath for a short time, but it will lose its effect after a long time.
Looking at the ghost that had completely disappeared, Ning Hanqi lowered his eyes.
At this point, all accounts are settled.
She didn't mind the dirt and picked up the eyeball directly from the ground.
What was supposed to be soft turned into a glass bead-like material in her hand, and the next second the game prompt appeared.
[Beautiful Eyeballs (pair): These eyes were once beautiful enough to captivate all living beings. Even though they brought disaster to their owner and were stained with filth, they could still bewitch the living and the dead.]
[After using this item (double), players can disappear from the ghosts' perception for ten minutes, even if they dance in front of them. ~ (Players can bring others with them, but the time will be shortened relatively, and each additional person will reduce the time by half.)]
