Chapter 45 The Ghost
Chapter 45 The Ghost
Lin Yue really wanted to ask, why?!
Why are all these ghosts stopping at the bathroom door?
It stopped less than a meter away from itself.
He held his breath, staring at the rotting foot by the crack in the door, not daring to blink.
Fortunately, though.
These evil spirits don't seem to intend to attack.
It just stopped there temporarily.
So what should I do?
Should we wait for these ghosts to leave on their own?
But what if we wait too long and the one outside the crack, Qin Ziwang's mother, returns?
Caught in a dilemma.
Lin Yue gritted her teeth and had no choice but to confront these guys for the time being.
However, it shouldn't take too long.
The two sides seemed to be facing each other across a door.
About three more minutes passed.
The ghosts showed no sign of leaving.
Lin Yue was at her wit's end.
If we keep waiting like this, Qin Ziwang's mother will definitely come back.
He hesitated for a few seconds.
Lin Yue had no choice but to slowly push the door open.
Just as he had expected, there were indeed seven highly decomposed and swollen corpses standing outside the bathroom corridor.
They stood at the doorway, and the first thing that wafted in was a damp, sweet, rotten smell, like a dead rat soaking in moldy mud.
Their skin is no longer skin, but a layer of grayish-green and blackish fleshy membrane, hanging loosely on their bodies. Several cracks reveal the waxy yellow fat and scratch-like white bones underneath. Some have a large piece missing from their right cheek, revealing dark red gums and crooked molars. Some have rotted away their lips, so their mouths are always wide open, as if they are roaring silently. Some have half-closed eyelids, and their eyes are as cloudy as boiled fish eyes, stiffly fixed in their sockets.
The deep eye sockets of these corpses were no different from the dark abyss.
What's most infuriating is that they've been dead for a long time, yet they're still staring at you.
Lin Yue felt a bit thirsty and didn't know what to do.
"Should we put some attribute points into agility, and push one away while we can run?"
However, that's what he just thought.
The corpses began to move.
They walked slowly forward, ignoring the people in the restroom.
Lin Yue's eyes lit up.
It seems the situation isn't as bad as it appears.
These guys won't attack people?
That's right, after making eye contact.
He also noticed that these corpses didn't have the same terrifying aura as evil spirits. At least his brain was still the same as when he first came in, a little dizzy, but the feeling hadn't gotten worse.
In other words, these corpses are not considered true evil spirits.
Instead, they should be things like "Changgui"?
The term "changgui" refers to the ghost of a tiger that has been eaten and become its servant. The role of changgui is to help the tiger by luring innocent passersby to fill its belly. This is the origin of the idiom "to act as a changgui for a tiger".
They were killed by Qin Ziwang's family, and after coming into this world, they were trapped in the place where they died.
Although these are all conclusions drawn from the current situation.
But Lin Yue felt that this must be the true face of these corpses.
"These corpses don't seem to pose a danger; they're just wandering around here," Lin Yue thought.
He's just waiting for the corpses to leave.
You can then leave and find another way out.
Lin Yue's tense nerves relaxed.
However, when the distance between the two sides was about three or four meters,
The group of corpses suddenly stopped again.
His stiff neck twisted little by little, and seven pairs of eyes, as dark as an abyss, suddenly all stared at him.
Lin Yue immediately stood up straight.
A strong sense of crisis is coming.
He quickly dismissed his earlier assessment that "these corpses are not dangerous."
Ghosts are ghosts, whether they are courier ghosts or evil ghosts, they are all quite terrifying beings.
But... what are they doing?
Lin Yue dared not move.
The corpses did not move.
She simply stared at him.
The atmosphere in the dark corridor was so heavy and suffocating that it was hard to breathe.
After a while.
Lin Yue guessed, "Does this mean these guys want me to follow them?"
After he had this idea...
His eyes darted around a few times, but in the end he took a step and followed.
This time he guessed right.
After following them.
Sure enough, the group of corpses stopped staring at them with those creepy eyes.
Instead, they started to stumble and wobble forward again.
Lin Yue followed at the very back of them.
They imitated their steps, lining up and wandering in the corridor.
"Why? They seem to have mistaken me for one of their own?"
Lin Yue looked at the corpse in front of her, its skin so rotten that the bones were almost visible, and then looked at her own smooth skin.
It's hard to tell where it resembles anything.
But this is for the best.
It's a good thing that these demons haven't attacked yet.
Lin Yue followed along, glancing around for an opportunity to escape.
Although the group of corpses had not yet attacked anyone.
But that doesn't mean it will never attack people.
This place is so eerie; you can encounter terrifying things every few steps.
Since he arrived here, his heart rate has never dropped below 250 beats per minute.
The corpses were walking towards the ground floor of the mansion.
Because they are close enough.
Lin Yue then heard a faint, clattering sound coming from inside the stomachs of the corpses, as if their stomachs were filled with stones.
He suddenly remembered that after committing murder, Qin's parents would fill the victim's stomach with stones and then throw them into the river to cover their tracks and prevent anyone from discovering the crime.
A chill ran down my spine.
I couldn't help but shiver.
He tried to stop for a moment.
But the corpses in front of them immediately stopped as well.
Lin Yue had no choice but to resume walking.
The corpses then returned to normal.
"Looks like it won't be that easy to get rid of..."
Although the temperature here is quite low.
When it breathes through its mouth and nose, it also exhales white condensed air.
But Lin Yue's forehead was still covered in sweat, almost soaking her hair.
This is all due to tension.
He felt as if he were being entangled by this group of vengeful spirits.
But a real evil spirit could return from outside at any moment.
No matter which way you go, it's a dead end.
Time is life; for him right now, that couldn't be more true.
Clearly, he didn't have enough time.
While Lin Yue was racking her brains trying to figure out whether to simply activate "burst acceleration" to shake off this group of accomplices in the simplest way,...
The already cold air in the room suddenly became even colder.
It was so cold that water would freeze instantly.
Everything around was decaying and turning to ashes.
The paint on the walls is peeling off, and the floor is cracked.
A terrifying aura swept in like a tsunami.
Lin Yue's heart pounded, and her expression changed.
Looking sideways in the direction from which the eerie feeling came, one immediately saw a floating demon with missing limbs and a emaciated body coming from that direction.
The evil spirits finally returned to their lair.
And yet, he still hasn't been able to get rid of these accomplices!
