The invisibility talisman was applied to their bodies and quickly took effect; the two figures gradually became transparent until they disappeared.
Fortunately, the invisibility talismans used by the two were made by Cheng Baidong. Although they could not see each other with the naked eye after becoming invisible, they could vaguely sense each other's approximate location.
Fang Qiao adjusted to her invisible state for a moment, then walked up to Xiao Jing by instinct, reached out and touched her back, and said in a low voice, "Let's go."
Invisibility charms only make people invisible, not block sound, so they need to be careful when they speak and try not to open their mouths to avoid being discovered.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around in the alley, Fang Qiao took the opportunity to push open the door of Lin Youcai's house.
With a creak, the dilapidated wooden door swung open, as if blown open by the wind.
Fang Qiao and Xiao Jing slipped into the courtyard one after the other.
It's more like a courtyard than a yard, because the entire yard is only two meters square, and there are a lot of miscellaneous items piled up on both sides, making it seem even more cramped.
The yard hadn't been cleaned for several days. The snow that fell the night before last melted directly in the yard because it wasn't swept away in time. The ground in the yard had been repeatedly frozen and thawed, turning it into a muddy mess, with a long string of footprints of varying depths on it.
To avoid leaving new footprints, Fang Qiao and Xiao Jing followed the original footprints directly.
The door to the room was not closed, with a large gap. Cold wind swirled around and blew straight out of the room through the gap, making a 'whooshing' sound.
The room was quiet. Fang Qiao heard a snoring sound coming from the inner room, like a valve being pulled out, interspersed with occasional nightmares.
"She's asleep," Fang Qiao said to Xiao Jing in a low voice.
Xiao Jing nodded and said, "It's easier if they fall asleep."
"Um."
The room was a bit messy, and Fang Qiao and Xiao Jing carefully avoided the trash on the floor so as not to make any noise that might wake the people inside.
The invisibility charm can only make someone invisible, but it cannot make them completely disappear. If it accidentally wakes someone up, and the room is small, there is a risk of being exposed if the charm is touched.
The inner room was dimly lit and even more cluttered.
Clothes were haphazardly draped over chairs, unwashed dishes were tossed on the table, chopsticks were scattered about, and the room reeked of stinky feet mixed with a strong musty smell, which was particularly pungent.
A hint of disdain flashed in Fang Qiao's eyes, and Xiao Jing also frowned.
So sloppy.
Fang Qiao subtly touched Xiao Jing's arm, signaling her to quickly slap the bad luck charm on Lin Youcai so they could finish their business and escape this smelly place as soon as possible.
Xiao Jing responded quickly, and one person stuck the two unlucky charms to his forehead and the other to his chest, firmly attaching them to his body.
The talisman took effect immediately upon contact; the physical talisman vanished instantly, and the spiritual energy it carried entered Lin Youcai's body.
Just then, an unexpected change occurred.
Lin Youcai jolted awake, abruptly sitting up in bed. He was covered in sweat, his face contorted with panic, his eyes filled with extreme fear, and he kept muttering, "No... don't come any closer..."
"Don't hurt me, don't hurt me..."
"It's your own fault for being so stubborn... Don't blame me... Don't blame me..."
Fang Qiao, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped and turned around to glance at Lin Youcai.
Lin Youcai was still immersed in the nightmare and hadn't recovered. He sat on the bed without moving, muttering words that no one could understand, his eyes looking around in a panic, and the fear on his face only increasing.
Fang Qiao suddenly had a plan.
She raised her hand, skillfully circulating the spiritual energy within her body, gathering it in her fingers, and then suddenly pointed towards the window, casting all the spiritual energy gathered between her fingers into a spell.
The dilapidated window was too fragile; it shattered from the door frame with a loud crash and slammed heavily to the ground. As if finding an outlet, the cold wind outside rushed into the room.
A cold wind blew up the tattered curtains by the window, and together with the howling wind, the eerie atmosphere was instantly heightened.
Lin Youcai's already taut nerves, tormented by nightmares, snapped completely from the loud noise.
But at that moment, everything suddenly went black.
Immediately afterward, he felt a pair of cold hands cover his eyes, followed by a woman's chilling voice in his ear: "The medicine is so bitter... It's so dark and cold down there... I'm so lonely... Come and keep me company..."
It's her, she's here...
Lin Youcai's pupils contracted sharply, and fear caused his body to tremble uncontrollably, his upper and lower teeth chattering together.
The next second, a strong chill swept towards his face.
"Help! There's a ghost!"
Lin Youcai shuddered, a warm current spreading from between his groin. At the same time, his body swayed and he fainted, falling off the bed in a disheveled state.
Fang Qiao quickly withdrew her hands and stepped back to avoid being bumped.
Within seconds, a strong stench of urine filled the room.
Fang Qiao pinched her nose in disgust and clicked her tongue: "You fainted from fright? You're such a coward."
Xiaojing lowered her voice and said, "He was feeling guilty, had a nightmare, and was then startled by something, thinking that girl was coming to take his life, so he fainted from fright!"
Xiao Jing glanced at Lin Youcai, who was lying on the ground like a dead dog, pursed her lips, and quickly looked away.
She reached out and tugged at Fang Qiao's arm: "Sister-in-law, let's go quickly. He cried out before he fainted, let's not attract anyone."
"Walk."
Fang Qiao didn't want to stay in this smelly room any longer. Once she finished her business, she wanted to leave as soon as possible.
Fang Qiao and Xiao Jing ran out of Lin Youcai's house and walked a long way before finding a latrine behind the department store. After observing and confirming that no one was there, they cautiously removed the invisibility talisman.
Fang Qiao took the bicycle out of his spatial storage and said to Xiao Jing, "Let's go to the department store and buy some things to make it look nice."
"good."
The department store was crowded, so the two of them slipped inside and made sure no one would notice them anymore.
Fang Qiao wandered around the department store for about half an hour, then, feeling that it was about time, casually bought two couplets and a pound of milk candy before heading back.
As soon as I stepped out of the mall, I saw many people on the street craning their necks and looking in the same direction.
It's in the direction of Lin Youcai's house.
Fang Qiao's heart tightened. She grabbed Xiao Jing's arm and ran to the front, pretending to be curious. She grabbed a middle-aged woman's arm, stuffed a handful of candy into her hand, and asked, "Sister? What happened? I saw you all looking this way."
