Chapter 236 Head
Chapter 236
Jiang Li followed Yu Wenxuan's gaze and saw that outside the yard, the moon emerged from the clouds and cast a pale light on the ground.
There was a jumping shadow reflected in the crack of the door.
The shadow was very strange. It looked like a basketball that kept bouncing in place.
Jiang Li swallowed. She didn't want to know what that thing was that kept jumping outside the door. She just wanted to get out of here quickly.
But now the door was blocked by the bouncing thing, and it was impossible to climb back over the wall the way they came, because Lu Guo and the ghost lying on the ground were still on the other side of the wall.
Now Jiang Li and Yu Wenxuan are in a dilemma.
He didn't know how long he had been here, but Jiang Li's legs were numb from squatting, and the beating shadow outside the crack of the door was still there.
She turned her head and looked to her side. Although she was afraid of Yu Wenxuan, she was also very grateful that Yu Wenxuan did not leave her alone and escape over the wall just now.
However, this time, when she turned around, she realized that Yu Wenxuan was missing!
Jiang Li looked around again, where is Yu Wenxuan?
Did he sneak away again?
How could he be...so selfish...
After realizing that Yu Wenxuan had left him at some point, Jiang Li suddenly felt that the air around him had become much colder.
The moonlight shining in the yard also made everything weirder. Everything seemed to have come alive. Even the forked branches looked like two arms pinching her neck...
Jiang Li was immediately frightened into confusion.
This place... where is it?
Yu Wenxuan...when did he leave...
And...it's not even midnight yet, is it? The mission has not officially started yet, but this village is already so terrifying...
This shows that the strangeness in the village is not caused by the fog, so even if they stay in this village for five days, when the time limit finally expires, they may not be able to leave the village immediately.
The horror and curse have nothing to do with Wuji...but the place itself.
The more he thought about it, the more terrifying Jiang Li felt.
The more she thought about it, the weirder everything around her looked.
Some things are just too scary to think about. In Jiang Li's current state, even if there is no ghost, he can imagine a ghost to scare himself to death.
Jiang Li himself also noticed that something was wrong with his emotions. This frightened and suspicious state had no other purpose than to keep his nerves tense and quickly produce a sense of fatigue.
Must... get out of here.
Get out of this yard!
Jiang Li pressed against the wall, groping forward in the shadows.
As she walked, she comforted herself:
No... If the beating shadow at the door was a ghost, he should have come in long ago... What's more, how could a ghost grow into a ball-like shape?
His heart was pounding, and his reluctant self-persuasion had some effect. Jiang Li still planned to go out through the main entrance of the yard.
Because without the help of others, she could not climb the wall surrounding the yard.
No problem...it must be a misunderstanding, maybe it's just the shadow of a group of weeds blown by the wind...
Jiang Li walked slowly and carefully, but when he actually touched the door, he could not suppress his fear and nervousness.
Jiang Li held his breath and quietly stretched his head towards the crack of the door.
"Bang——"
"Bang——"
"Bang——"
After getting close to the crack in the door, she heard a very rhythmic bouncing sound, like someone playing basketball outside the crack of the door.
This voice immediately made Jiang Li give up those unrealistic fantasies. This constantly bouncing shadow must be something of considerable weight, otherwise it would be impossible to make a "bang bang" bouncing sound.
So...what exactly is it?
Fear spread in her heart, but now she had no choice.
Perhaps, only in desperate situations can humans show their unimaginable bravery.
Jiang Li gritted his teeth and pushed open the wooden door at the entrance of the yard!
And the moment she pushed it away, she finally understood... what this thing that kept jumping at the door was...
This turned out to be Lu Guo!
Lu Guo kept jumping on the ground. After hearing the door open, he immediately turned to Jiang Li!
Jiang Li's face turned pale with fright, and his legs were weak. Lu Guo was smiling sadly and desperately, looking at her with an extremely terrifying expression...
Unprecedented fear made Jiang Li's mind go blank, but her survival instinct made her immediately rush out of the yard and rush to the shadowed corners!
Help...
Who can save me...
Jiang Li's despair almost overflowed from his heart.
Yu Wenxuan...why did he leave secretly by himself?
They are all Wuji's companions, is she so untrustworthy?
In addition to despair and fear, a deeply hidden resentment was born in Jiang Li's heart.
She didn't understand why Yu Wenxuan left her and escaped secretly, or even how Yu Wenxuan escaped.
Did he climb over the wall and go back?
Isn't he afraid of the ghost on the other side of the wall?
My thoughts are disorganized, yet extremely clear.
Contradictions were entangled in his mind, and fear prompted Jiang Li to look back.
But looking back...
Under the miserable moonlight behind him, Lu Guo jumped two or three meters away, chasing her quickly!
Jiang Li was scared out of his mind again, secreting adrenaline like crazy, and ran forward desperately.
After passing through many alleys and turning many corners, Jiang Li was actually not directly illuminated by a ray of moonlight while he was running for his life.
I have to say that human potential is much higher than we think.
After turning the corner again, Jiang Li found that there was no road ahead, but there was a temple-like building. Both in terms of building materials and style, it was several times more elegant than other houses in the village, as different as clouds and mud.
However, Jiang Li didn't pay attention to this at this moment. What she noticed was that the door of this temple-like building was ajar and not closed!
Desperate, Jiang Li rushed in without hesitation, closed the door immediately, then turned around and brought in a few wooden chairs, pressing them firmly against the door.
Jiang Li was breathing heavily, and his bangs were stuck to his forehead due to sweat, making him look miserable.
Her heart was still pounding because she didn't know if that person would come in.
Can this door block it?
Of course, the best case scenario is that it didn't notice Jiang Li escaping into the ancestral hall and turned around and left.
However, this chance is so low that it is almost the same as winning the lottery.
Jiang Li didn't have any extravagant hopes. She just hoped that the door would be strong enough to keep Lu Guo out.
In fact, until now, Jiang Li found it hard to believe that the ghost chasing him was Lu Guo.
Has he... turned into a ghost?
Jiang Li felt an inexplicable fear and sadness.
It was clear that he was still a living person just now...
Lu Guo...
Jiang Li silently chanted Lu Guo's name in his heart, hoping that he could rest in peace.
However, what she didn't know was that behind her, under the altar table in the ancestral hall, there was a pair of strange eyes staring at her...
