After Zhou Deng left the back hall with a white lantern, the originally stable situation immediately took a turn for the worse.
Because everyone speculated that it was precisely because of Zhou Deng's departure that the funeral was announced in advance, and this advance was fatal, because the ghosts were still wandering in the ancient house, and announcing the funeral now was equivalent to telling the ghost that someone had died in the back hall.
Although ghosts have no thoughts and cannot think about pros and cons.
But the situation in this ancient house cannot be judged by common sense. After all, things involving supernatural beings often make no sense.
Things at certain times can always subvert people's common sense.
"The back hall is no longer safe. Ghosts are invading. Captain Yang, what should we do now?"
Fan Xing was anxious at this time. He couldn't think of a better way and could only put his hope in Yang Jian.
After all, Yang Jian is a truly top ghost controller at the captain level. He has experienced several S-level supernatural events. In terms of ability and supernatural power, he cannot compare with him.
The back door is now open.
It was dark outside, and a pair of old black cloth shoes on the threshold looked like the feet of a ghost about to step in.
Moreover, there was a strange figure lingering outside the back door, seemingly waiting for an opportunity to come in.
There is no need to close the door now.
The combined efforts of everyone just now were unable to close the door, and if it continued to be used up, there would be a risk of the evil ghost resurrecting, so there was no point in worrying about whether the door should be opened or closed.
Now we must think of a way to deal with this current situation.
Everyone looked at Yang Jian.
It seemed that only he could handle this kind of situation.
"If we don't come up with a way to deal with it, I'm afraid all of us will die here."
"It's all Zhou Deng's fault. He just wanted to die. He also hurt us."
"Would it be better to give up the vigil and go back to the room to hide? Or should I just rush out from the back door and find a way to leave this ancient house?"
However, this proposal was rejected by other messengers as soon as it appeared.
They have to live in this ancient house for seven days and cannot leave.
Zhou Deng can wander outside the ancient house, walk in and out, but they can't. If they leave the ancient house too far or for too long, the post office may think that they have failed in delivering the letter. When the curse of the ghost post office appears, the fate will be even worse.
awful.
Yang Jian's eyes moved slightly, he was thinking.
At the moment, a head-on fight with the evil ghost can only delay the process for a while. In the end, many people will definitely die, and it is not uncommon to even be wiped out by the group.
"The funeral announcement on the third day has been brought forward, so just ignore the vigil on the second day and adjust the time to the third day. It is unrealistic for us to fight against the ghosts who keep vigil on the second day and the ghosts who announce the funeral on the third day, so we just
You can choose to ignore the ghosts who keep vigil the next day.”
Yang Jian was very rational, thinking quickly, and came up with a way to barely break this deadlock.
"Captain, what should we do?" Li Yang asked hurriedly.
Fan Xing and others also looked at Yang Jian, as if they would dare to take action as soon as he said it.
"If this day is a funeral, we will do whatever we need to do. We will stabilize the ghosts that will only appear on the third day, and then fight with all our strength against the ghosts who will be vigilant the next day. As long as we resist until twelve o'clock tonight, then time will be enough.
Correct it."
Yang Jian said quickly.
"Fight until twelve o'clock tonight? Oh my God, Yang Jian, are you kidding me? It's past four o'clock in the morning now, and it will take nearly twenty hours until twelve o'clock in the evening. We are ghost controllers, aren't we?
Jesus, there's no way he could have lasted that long." Someone opened his eyes wide, shivered, and felt his whole body was cold.
This method sounds like it can break this deadlock, but it is too difficult and basically impossible to achieve.
Yingying said calmly: "Yang Jian, the most important thing for the funeral on the third day is the lantern. We have to get that lantern. Now the lantern is hanging in front of the door. If you want to go through, you have to go around from the back door to the front door.
Or you can rush into the lobby and head straight for the gate, and no matter which route you take, you will encounter evil spirits."
"In addition, someone has to guard the coffin. Once something goes wrong with the old man's body in the coffin, the first seven may also advance. At that time, the ancient house will completely lose control, the letter delivery fails, and the first seven will return...
"There is no chance of survival anymore." Wang Feng added, and then said calmly.
"So the only way is for most of the people to guard the coffin to fight against the evil ghost, and then send one person to get the lantern. Moreover, it must succeed and cannot fail. If it fails, everyone will die."
"Now, who will take over this task?"
As soon as I finished saying this.
Everyone's expressions changed.
It's not that they are afraid of death, it's that they don't have confidence that they can come back alive, so they are committing suicide.
"I'm going to get the guarantee that I can get the lantern back, but can you keep this coffin?" Yang Jian said coldly.
As soon as these words came out, the others fell silent again.
The answer is obvious.
Can't keep it.
Because as soon as Yang Jian leaves, they will soon die when fighting against the fierce ghosts, and the back hall will become a gathering place for the fierce ghosts. Even if Yang Jian comes back with a lantern by then, it will be too late.
"Li Yang, go." Seeing this, Yang Jian immediately looked aside.
"Okay, Captain."
Li Yang took a deep breath. He did not refuse, but agreed.
"Don't go outside. Go straight through the lobby. After getting the lantern, go around to the back door and then come in. Don't go back far. In this way, you can use the lantern to pretend to announce the funeral and resist the attacks of the evil spirits outside. If you return the same way, you will be inside the ancient house.
The ghost will definitely attack you."
After Yang Jian finished speaking, he reached out and threw something to him.
It is a very old doll full of scars.
"You know how to use this thing, right? You still have the last ghost candle in your hand, so don't be stingy."
Yang Jian said: "It's a pity that I don't have a scapegoat anymore, otherwise I wouldn't be so passive."
Li Yang took the doll and nodded solemnly.
"I'll step on my ghost shadow and walk forward, and I'll clear the way for you. Remember, as soon as you leave the range of my ghost shadow, light the ghost candle immediately."
After Yang Jian finished speaking, the ghost shadow under his feet shook, and then extended towards the lobby of the ancient house.
Without saying a word, Li Yang strode forward on the road paved with black shadows. He felt extremely cold under his feet, but this coldness gave him a sense of security, because ghosts can isolate many supernatural beings.
Get closer to avoid letting him be stared at by other ghosts.
"Wow~!"
However, at this moment, a ghost controller's face suddenly changed, and then he wailed in pain, and then he knelt on the ground and vomited blood. The blood was so thick that he vomited a drop at once, as if he wanted to drain all the blood from his body.
It looked like it was spit out.
Something is moving in the body.
He was corrupted by a certain evil spirit.
"There's no time, take action." Yang Jian shouted.
Li Yang immediately rushed towards the front lobby along a cold and dark road without any hesitation.
Everyone is risking their lives now. Although he is acting alone, he does not feel that he is the most dangerous one.
With the ghost candle and the doll in hand, Li Yang felt somewhat confident.
In the dark, it's easy to lose your way.
But something was controlling his steps, keeping him from deviating from the route.
The ghost shadow is affecting Li Yang's actions and helping him move forward.
But in this ancient house, Yang Jian's ghost is also affected, because the darkness in front of him is the ghost domain of a powerful ghost. He is using the ghost in the ghost domain. This confrontation between the supernatural and the supernatural
As a result, his ghost shadow cannot extend too far.
At about ten meters, the limit of ghosting is reached.
This position just sent Li Yang to the middle of the lobby.
Li Yang felt that his feet were free again, without the feeling of being disturbed by the cold breath. He knew that the ghost's limit had been reached.
"You have to walk the rest of the way by yourself."
Li Yang took a deep breath, and he lit the ghost candle without hesitation at this moment.
immediately.
A strange and eerie green flame emerged from the red candle.
After the ghost candle's light appeared, the surrounding darkness immediately dispersed, allowing him to regain his sight and be able to see the nearby scenes.
But the moment the ghost candle was lit, Li Yang's hair stood on end.
He saw a pale dead face stuck in front of him. The face was very big, a bit bigger than a normal person's face, and the facial features were blurry, but he could still see that the face had grown up.
His mouth seemed to be letting out a shrill scream, but no sound came out.
The ghost candle flame suddenly expanded and burned rapidly.
next moment.
He saw a strange, pale and skinny man without any clothes flashing past his eyes and disappearing into the darkness on the left side. He didn't know if he was scared away by the ghost candle or for some other reason.
"damn it."
Li Yang broke out in a cold sweat and felt lingering fear. If his body had not been abnormal, he felt that he had been frightened to death just now.
Now he couldn't care less about it and glanced at the red ghost candle in his hand.
Nearly half has been burned.
That is to say.
Just now, he had been attacked by the evil ghost, but Gui Zhu helped him block the attack.
"Half of the ghost candles were consumed in one attack, which is simply terrifying."
Li Yang felt a chill in his heart and did not dare to hesitate. He went straight to the door while the candlelight was not extinguished.
He is very fast.
But the ghost candle burns very quickly.
This ancient house is full of evil ghosts wandering around, so the consumption of ghost candles is very large.
Li Yang knew that he had to leave this ancient house before the ghost candle went out, otherwise he would probably get lost in the darkness.
Even if you are only one step away from the door, you may not be able to get out.
After all, the supernatural is so evil.
Li Yang quickly crossed the lobby and came to the patio, and then quickly walked along the patio to the front yard.
In the dark.
When passing by the patio, Li Yang hurriedly saw a strange figure standing in the aisle next to the patio. The figure was slightly familiar. It seemed to be an old man with a stooped back and a bamboo basket in his hand.
But when he tried to confirm again, he could no longer see it.
The range illuminated by the ghost candle's flame is limited.
Li Yang didn't want to stop, so as soon as the distance increased, the area just now was submerged in darkness and could no longer be seen clearly.
