Chapter 123 Haunted
“Huh?” Yin Lishang looked at the text on the phone screen and blinked curiously: “Brother, are you sick too?”
Ning Zhe didn’t know for a moment. How to answer.
Just as he was about to nod in acknowledgment of her question, Yin Lishang suddenly lowered his head and waved cheerfully towards the wall behind Ning Zhe: "Grandma! Come and take a look, my brother said that his voice is hoarse. Speechless.”
Ning Zhe’s thoughts stagnated, subconsciously. Looking back, I saw that there was a round dog hole in the wall brick next to the door. A gray-haired old man's head slowly stretched out from the dog hole, and his wrinkled face was full of smiles. The expression of jealousy and resentment was exactly that of the human bone snake crawling out of the body of Grandma Ji Taixun.
Since when was there a dog hole in the wall?
The sudden turn of events caught Ning Zhe by surprise. He had been blocked by a copper lock just now. It took him almost ten minutes just to look up and down for a gap that could allow him to enter the house, until the end. When bees came in through the screen mesh on the door, he didn't even notice the hole.
Ning Zhe is a careful person. If there was such a big hole in the corner next to the door for the human body to drill through from the beginning, it is impossible for him not to notice it.
"No...this hole seems to have existed 'already'."
A memory found from Ji Taixun's cognition made this clear to Ning Zhe The origin of dog cave - when Ji Taixun was very young At that time, when he was just in the first grade of elementary school, his grandparents used to have a big yellow dog named Dahuang at home. The yellow dog had a white face and a broad chest and back. The dog hole next to the door was where my grandpa specially kept the big yellow dog. It was specially taken out for easy entry and exit.
Later, when Ji Taijun grew up, the rhubarb raised by her grandma died and was buried in the bamboo forest behind the house. My grandpa did not get a new dog and resealed the dog hole with bricks and cement.
But now, this dog hole that had long been blocked by bricks and cement has reappeared under the wall next to the gate. A pale and decaying old man’s head is embedded in the hole, with wide eyes full of He caught the dark thread and stared at the outsider standing in front of his granddaughter.
Why did the dog hole that had been blocked for a long time reappear?
Why did Ji Taixun’s grandmother appear here? Appearing on level -2? Shouldn't she be on the -1 floor now?
Could it be that during the time when she came here from the Earth Temple, grandma triggered the death rule in Yanglao Village and went down from the -1 floor to the -2 floor? How is it done?
Ning Zhe looked sideways and saw an old military coat spread on the ground next to the dog hole - it was his grandfather's old clothes, and it was also the nest where Dahuang usually slept.
"Grandma, didn't you bring the key? How are you going to climb into the dog hole?" Yin Lishang put his hands on his knees and curiously squatted down to look at the old man's head protruding from the hole.
Grandma opened her mouth and roared silently 'Ahhh', so Yin Lishang became even more curious: "What did you say?"
Grandma's mouth kept opening and closing, as if It screamed something loudly, but no matter what it wanted to say or how it came here, it could not violate the rules of this world, and it could not say a word.
‘Xi’ has no sound.
The anxious grandma struggled violently in the dog hole, her white ribs straining.
It twisted its neck, and its skeletal body passed through the dog hole, like a big snake crawling into the house. Its long spine held up the human head of its upper body, and its two white ribs were like a cobra's neck. The skin folds on the abdomen generally open to both sides into a pocket shape, showing a dangerous posture about to attack someone.
However, as soon as Grandma's snake body was raised, it had to stop in place. The ribs that were originally wide open to both sides also drooped down, leaving only an old wrinkled face full of jealousy. , staring viciously behind Yin Lishang.
Because just now, Ning Zhe, who looked like Ji Taixun, silently pulled out a pistol from his arms and pointed the muzzle at the back of Yin Lishang's head.
He put a finger up to his lips and made a 'shh' gesture with a smile.
One person and one snake fell into a tacit silence.
Although they never said a word from beginning to end.
"Brother?" Yin Lishang turned to look at Ning Zhe behind him, and then at the human skeleton snake in front of him: "Grandma?"
"What's wrong with you? Why aren't you talking? "Yin Lishang's face was full of doubts. The terrifying scene in front of her did not make her show the slightest fear. It seemed that what was standing in front of her at this moment was not an inhuman monster holding her grandma's head, but a peaceful monster. Grandma is no different. No, maybe in her eyes, whether she is alive or dead, grandma's appearance has never changed.
"Brother, what's wrong with you guys? Are you playing a prank?" Yin Lishang bit his lips, tightly holding the corners of Ning Zhe's clothes with both hands, his eyes filled with tears and pleading.
Yin Lishang has been staying at her grandmother's house to recuperate since she was a child. She has never even gone out to Yanglao Village. Her world is so small that being ignored by two relatives is like the sky is falling for her. down.
Ning Zhe smiled and touched her head. The dry ends of her hair were somewhat split. Yin Lishang looked at him pitifully. If it weren't for that terrifying face, she would be so well-behaved and sticky. Human little sisters should be very cute.
Letting go of his hand, Ning Zhe turned a blind eye to her grandmother's resentful and wary eyes, walked directly to the wall, pressed the switch, and turned on the lights in the living room.
"Surprise~" he said silently.
As the lights came on, two shadows appeared under the door.
One is a long shadow standing upright on the ground, with two ribs splayed to both sides, teeth and claws. It is a human bone snake that crawled into the house from the dog hole.
One is a woman in a long skirt standing quietly in the corner, holding a short knife about a foot long in her hand.
The moment the lights came on, the woman's shadow rushed in front of grandma, raised the knife and cut off its long spine from the middle. The snake's tail of the lower body was still stuck in the dog hole, and the snake's tail of the upper body was still stuck in the dog hole. The human head and the rib fan fell to the ground, like a piece of porcelain that silently shattered in this "Xi" world.
Before grandma could react, another knife slashed across the neck of the human skeleton snake. The head, which had lost the support of its cervical vertebrae, fell to the ground like a watermelon without its handle, and rolled along the base of the wall. corner. All this happens just a split second after the lights come on.
Two deformed snake bodies were curled up on the cement floor behind the door, twitching violently. A pale head lay in the corner, eyes wide open, and its mouth wide open in a silent scream.
——Even if it was beheaded by Ye Yao, it still did not die. If it had died, it would have fallen to a deeper level of 'Yi' by now.
Ning Zhe noticed one thing because of this: Ye Yao itself has no lethality. What dismembered the body of the human bone snake was the sword that penetrated the shadow with the help of rules, not the rules themselves. Ye Yao is not a direct and immediate death rule kill like special concession or summoning, but indirect damage caused by the help of rules.
Swords can kill people, but they cannot kill ghosts, let alone demons.
"Grandma!" Yin Lishang was so frightened that he was so frightened that he subconsciously clutched the corner of Ning Zhe's clothes tightly. Tears suddenly fell from his eyes: "Brother, grandma, what happened to grandma? Grandma, what happened to her?" Just now..."
No matter how mild-tempered she is, Yin Lishang is still a little girl under the age of 15. A relative she spends day and night with suddenly dies in front of her, and her head rolls to the ground. Such a horrific scene is a huge shock even to adults, let alone Yin Li was injured. She was helpless and could only instinctively hold on to Ning Zhe. For a moment, she didn't know whether to go forward to see the condition of her grandma's body or to persuade her brother to leave this terrifying place.
Ning Zhe patted her shoulder lightly and handed her a note.
Yin Lishang lowered his head and saw that it read:
[Did you see it just now? 】
【A woman's shadow appeared in front of the door, and then disappeared again. 】
【What is that? Is the house haunted? 】
"Haunted?" Yin Lishang carefully looked sideways. Grandma's head was lying in the corner, her upper and lower gums creaking together.
