Chapter 71 The fifth time comes, the balance is out of control
In the old village.
Li Jun and his party came to the middle of the village again.
Looking at the house in front of me, it was pitch black from the window, and I could not see my fingers, as if all the light had disappeared.
"Let's go." Taking a deep breath, Li Jun slowly stepped forward and walked towards the dark room that represented the mourning hall.
"Wait!"
Han Mo stopped Li Jun who was about to step forward.
“What’s wrong?” A Hong looked at Liu San doubtfully.
“Did you find anything?”
“No, but I don’t know why, I always feel a little familiar, as if we have been to this place before.”
Han Mo shook his head. His body was telling him that he had been here before, but he had never had the memory of it.
“Speaking of which, I also felt a little uneasy when approaching this place.”
Liu San also spoke. He walked to the window at the back of the house and looked at the situation inside.
It’s just that the house seems to be isolated by some incomprehensible supernatural being, and all that can be seen is darkness.
“I don’t know why, but my body seems to be instinctively afraid of this place.”
If it was just Han Mo, everyone wouldn't care much.
But now two people have said this and they have to take it seriously.
"Could it be caused by being close to the source ghost?" Xu Yiping asked.
"Maybe, but it's unlikely." Han Mo shook his head.
“The reason why I feel this place is familiar is because the devil in my body is an instinctive warning.”
The other ghost controlled by Han Mo is called Ghost Slough. Every time he is killed, he will leave a slough to replace him, similar to the golden cicada's escape from its shell.
But after he sheds his skin, he must find a way to solve his own problem.
Because each shed is equivalent to a fierce ghost that has the memory of the moment he shed his skin, and will instinctively chase him and want to replace him.
If these shed skins are obtained by evil ghosts, they will even lead the evil spirits to hunt him down.
Just now, when he was approaching here, he could feel something strange coming from the ghost in his body.
This feeling is like leaving the molted skin close to you after death.
But no real shedding appeared, and he had no memory of dying in this place. It seemed to be just the illusion of the evil spirit in his body.
But is it really just an illusion?
Han Mo couldn't help but look at Liu San. The ghost controlled by Liu San was a paper man and could create many clones.
And the other party, like himself, instinctively felt uneasy after approaching here.
When Han Mo turned his head, Liu San happened to look at him, and the two people who looked at each other couldn't help but become more sure of their thoughts.
Something must have happened in this place.
"Let me go to the front and have a look." Liu San said.
He wanted to look for any signs first.
"I'll try to see if I can sense any danger." Han Mo closed his eyes.
However, he quickly opened his eyes and seemed to have successfully obtained some information.
"There are terrifying beings in the house that are enough to kill us." Han Mo said solemnly.
“Come here quickly.”
At this time, Liu San also spoke.
At this time Liu San was standing on the road not far in front of the house.
There is an open door at the front of the house, and the room has an older wooden door.
But what really caught everyone's attention was not the style of the door, but there were many footprints at the door.
These footprints are messy, with some gray-white ash on them, as if they were brought in from outside.
"Have the ghosts here been outside?" Liu San's expression changed.
You must know that the outside world is a world of ghost paintings. According to previous inferences, the ghosts in the ghost coffins are trapped in these dark houses and cannot get out.
But the scattered footprints on the ground proved that something had indeed gone out and contaminated the gray-white ashes outside.
Liu San was shocked and uncertain, looking at the open door suspiciously.
Oddly enough, even though the door to the house was open, it was completely dark inside, and you couldn't see what was going on inside at all.
"Don't rush in yet." Li Jun said.
"Han Mo just sensed that there is something terrifying enough to kill us in the house."
Hearing this, everyone nodded, and they walked around the house to observe, wanting to see if they could make any new discoveries.
“Come here quickly!”
Xu Yiping suddenly said, pointing to the back of the house.
There is a fenced area there, which should be used by the owner to enjoy the cool air and talk with his family at night.
It’s just that the current owner has become a ghost, so he doesn’t need to enjoy the shade.
"This fence door can be opened. Maybe we can go in from here." Xu Yiping pointed to the front and said.
The place at the front door is too weird. If they could, they wouldn't want to leave there.
So after discovering that they could enter here, they immediately came closer.
"I'll lead the way."
Liu San volunteered. He was very afraid of this house, but he still took the initiative to lead the way.
Because among everyone present, he was the one who was able to survive after being attacked.
Although Liu San did not trust others, seeing that the situation in the country was getting worse and worse, with so many ghost controllers dying, he did not want the casualties at the headquarters to expand again.
Pushing open the fence door, Liu San walked inside cautiously.
Although the back door may not be as dangerous as the front door, it will be very tragic if you neglect to be alert because of this.
They only determined that the front door was dangerous, but they could not confirm that the back door was not dangerous.
Walking into the backyard of the house, Liu San safely arrived at the side door of the house.
However, when he approached and carefully pushed open the door, the moment he walked in, the scene in front of him made his eyes suddenly shrink and his heart suddenly shrink.
A man who looked exactly like him, with a broken body and a dead body, stood in the house. His eyes looked out with lifeless eyes, revealing an abnormal horror.
However, when Liu San carefully identified it, he couldn't help but take several steps back.
This thing that looks exactly like him is not a corpse or a person, but a lifelike paper man.
Not only was this paper figure standing in the room, there were actually a bunch of tattered paper figures scattered across the room.
Although the appearance of these paper figures is broken, Liu San can recognize that each paper figure has his own look, and he is even sure that he made these paper figures by himself.
The front door bears scattered footprints of ashes, and the back room is dilapidated, like a paper figurine that has been dead for a long time.
In an instant, a terrible thought appeared in Liu San's mind: "I have been here before, and it's not the first time."
"What happened?" Li Jun stopped when he saw Liu San entering the house, and walked in with a ghostly fire burning on his body.
The other three people also hurriedly followed, fearing that something unexpected would happen to Liu San.
But what no one expected was that they did not find danger when they walked into the house, but instead saw many incredible things.
This is a broken and incomplete paper man.
Every paper figurine looks like Liu San, with a sallow complexion and gray eyes. The remaining expressions are a bit frightened and a bit unbelievable.
This dead man's appearance looks particularly strange under the illumination of Li Jun's green will-o'-the-wisp.
One, two, three, four; a total of four paper figures.
Liu San calculated with a solemn expression.
"Four times, we have been to this house four times in total."
When he said this, his voice was trembling because it was something he could not understand. Horrible scene.
"Impossible, Liu San, your guess is definitely wrong. This is our first time here. We have never been here before. I remember it very clearly."
Xu Yiping spoke. He thought it might be the paper man that reminded Liu San, who also controlled the paper man, of some terrifying fact.
However, A Hong also spoke at this time: "Look."
A Hong pointed to several white curtains hanging in the room. The white curtains were stained with blood. The bottom of the white curtain is also smeared with some unknown paint, which looks extremely strange.
Who would put paint on a nice white curtain?
However, A Hong’s words immediately made several people feel like their hairs stood on end.
"The paint on the bottom of these white cloths should be cosmetics!" A Hong's voice trembled slightly.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion, and then looked at A Hong’s face.
Because the ghost controlled by A Hong was actually a makeup box, and her face was even covered in heavy makeup at this time.
"Four white curtains with blood stains and paint, four paper figures" Han Mo had fear in his eyes.
Things were too weird, beyond the level he could understand. None of the supernatural incidents I had dealt with before had such incredible changes.
The others looked at the four paper figures and the four white curtains in the room, and they were also silent and dignified.
"Ahong's paint, my paper figurine, all of this is explained. What I just said is not wrong." Liu San spoke again.
His tone was a little anxious: "If we have never been here, why is my paper man left here? If I am killed by a ghost once, a paper man will die for me."< br>
“There are four bodies here now, which means that I have been killed by ghosts four times since I entered here, but I have not been killed once from before to now.”
"If it was just me, you could still say that there was something wrong with my thinking, but with A Hong"
Liu San didn't speak anymore, but everyone understood what he meant.
"Is there something wrong with our memory? Or did we encounter ghosts or red and white demons before and were killed?" Han Mo frowned.
"Although the ghost in my body is also telling me that I seem to have died several times in this room, I have no memory of that at all."
Han Mo's words once again Let Liu San's words add a bit of credibility.
"So...we are repeating what happened before?" A Hong frowned.
"Could it be that every time we are killed, the ghosts restart?"
The ghosts do have this weird ability.
But this kind of restart only targets Guizashi himself and cannot affect other people, let alone affect everyone's memory.
"Liu San, this is just speculation from your and Ahong's personal perspective. If we had been here, not only you, but also us should have left some traces."< br>
Li Jun said calmly: "But in fact, except for you and Ahong, the three of us didn't find anything abnormal."
"At most, Han Mo feels a little uneasy."
< br>Han Mo interrupted Li Jun: "Don't forget, before "There are no footprints in the backyard."
"I just observed that there are no signs of anyone coming in the backyard. There are no footprints at all."
"If we really come here, I'm afraid we will all. You should enter through the front door.”
"And now, there are four paper figures and white curtains in the house, but they are not placed in the front hall. Doesn't this make it even weirder?"
The others fell into silence.
“Speaking of which, there is a lot of paper dust scattered around your front door, right?”
Liu San pointed at the paper man and said: “Look, this paper man also has a The paper dust indicates that these paper figures must have left footprints and scattered paper dust at the front door. "
"Could it be that after killing us, the ghost took the paper figures and the white curtain to the back hall? "A Hong said suspiciously.
The more you speculate, the more terrifying it becomes.
After the paper man killed them, why did he take the white curtain and the paper man to the back hall and leave them there?
Everyone suddenly thought of a possibility to cover up the traces
"No, it's impossible, Li Gui can't have this kind of thinking." Li Jun shook his head violently, he firmly did not believe that Li Gui could do it This kind of situation.
"Retreat, regardless of whether we have been here before." Han Mo shook his head and said in a deep voice.
"There has been another change in Huanggang Village that we cannot understand. This change is very bad. If we don't leave, we may not be able to leave."
Han Mo's inner thoughts are more inclined to Liu Sanhe Ahong's guess.
Although he did not leave any traces in this house, such as the remains of molted skin, he believed in his own knowledge of ghosts.
Even his own ghost feels like he has died here several times. He is a ghost controller who relies on ghosts. If he does not trust him, it is no different from seeking death.
"It makes sense. If Liu San's guess is true, then now we can't even trust our own memory."
After Xu Yiping made a series of guesses, he could no longer maintain his previous composure.
"In this case, imprisoning evil ghosts has become a joke, and the ghost paintings are still there."
"If we really died so many people in the same place This time, the ghost in the house is probably the red and white demon! You are not sure about dealing with it, right?"
Hearing this, Li Jun fell silent.
No matter how much he thought about imprisoning Guizha while Guizhao's ghosts were suppressed, if there were really red and white demons in the house, then he really had no choice.
"Speaking of which, I remember that the Red and White Demons once got a white curtain wrapped on a ghost during a live broadcast event."
Han Mo said, he had always paid close attention to the Red and White Demons. I have learned all the news about this ghost, including of course the live broadcast incident.
After saying that, everyone looked outside, feeling somewhat discouraged inwardly.
The sky is still gray, there is no color in the whole world, and there is no sound at all. It is so depressing and scary.
Ordinary people would be frightened to death when they come to this place, let alone go looking for a ghost in this unknown place where they might have died four times.
The pressure is unimaginable.
Li Jun was in a dilemma at this moment.
He is leading the team this time, so he must make up his mind when faced with differences in choices.
Should we continue searching this terrible village, or should we just leave?
Every choice has a price. If you leave here, it means that the action has failed, but if you continue, you may lead the entire team to be destroyed here.
"It would be a pity to leave now. The ghost realm of ghosts has been suppressed. Professor Wang's plan was successful, and now we have determined the positions of the red and white evil spirits."
"If we handle it properly, we This S-class supernatural incident can be solved. If we miss this chance, we will never have another chance, and we can't afford to lose this time."
Li Jun's expression changed, and he finally said through gritted teeth.
According to Wang Xiaoming's idea, after Gui Cha's ghost was suppressed to the extreme, he was locked in a golden box.
If it is somewhere else, just evacuate.
But it's different here. The city not far behind you must not be involved in supernatural incidents, otherwise the consequences will be ten times more serious than the original starving ghost incident.
"Are you trying to fight for your life?" Others were shocked when they saw this.
According to Jiang Shangbai's information, the ghost coffin should have been staying with the red and white evil spirits.
In other words, if they want to imprison the ghost, they have to face the red and white demons and grab the ghost coffin and the ghost lying inside.
They wanted to say something else, but in the silent environment, a clear sound of footsteps came from the next room.
The appearance of these footsteps made everyone quiet down instantly, and they all stared at the opposite side of the corridor.
The voice was dull and stiff, without the lightness of a living person, like a walking corpse approaching here.
“Creak!”
The wooden door in the next room seemed to be pushed open by something, and the old hinges made a friction sound, which aroused everyone's nerves.
This person is well prepared to be attacked by ghosts.
Li Jun took out the ghost candle and lit it in advance to avoid immediate casualties in the team due to the appearance of the ghost.
However, at the moment when the candle was lit, the sound outside the wooden door stopped.
“There’s something wrong with this burning speed.”
But when Li Jun saw the burning speed of Guizhu, his eyes narrowed.
The burning speed is very slow.
It's not like there are ghosts around at this speed.
“Together.”
Li Jun shouted, rushed over in an instant, and kicked open the half-open wooden door.
The loud sound echoed in the dark room.
The next moment, five people rushed in.
The ghost candle illuminated the darkness, and at the same time gave them the confidence not to be destroyed by the group.
But after everyone rushed in, there was nothing in the dim room, only some old furniture and some farm tools that had not been used for many years.
"Nothing? How is that possible?" someone exclaimed.
There was not a red and white demon standing inside, as they imagined, with a ghost coffin inside.
There were clearly sounds of footsteps just now, and I also saw the door being pushed open.
"Bah!"
But at this moment.
An old portrait hanging on the wall fell down.
That is a portrait of an old man. In rural areas, it is very common for old people who die first to leave portraits at home.
"Painting? Why is there such a thing here?" Han Mo's pupils shrank.
If it were an ordinary supernatural incident, it would be fine if a portrait appeared.
But don’t forget, they have previously determined that there are red and white evil spirits in the house. Shouldn’t the white evil spirit among the red and white evil spirits look like a young man?
This painting is definitely not the white evil among the red and white evil spirits, let alone a ghost.
The most important point is that in this place now, in addition to ghosts and red and white demons, there are also ghost paintings.
In the place where the ghost paintings invaded, a painting appeared. Although it was a portrait of a deceased person, it inevitably reminded people of some bad things.
After all, ghost paintings have the ability to invade any portrait.
