When the day of mourning arrives, dangers come like a tide in an instant, catching people off guard.
The ghost controller who was still talking before had no breath at this moment. He stood motionless like a dead corpse. He died before he could even use his supernatural power.
Obviously.
He was killed by a ghost.
As for whether he was killed by the weird baby or another ghost, no one can be sure.
Because no one cares about his personal life and death situation now.
Everyone is trying to think of ways to deal with today's danger, because everyone may be killed here today, and even Yang Jian can't guarantee that he can get out of here alive.
Yang Jian, Li Yang, Da Qiang, Fan Xing.
The three people quickly entered the back hall wearing dirty and weird mourning clothes.
The red coffin was still there, nothing unusual.
But today's back door was closed at some point. It seemed that it was blown shut automatically by the wind, or maybe it was triggered by some rules of the ancient house. Today's back door cannot be opened, cutting off everyone's escape route.
"That man died just now. Did you see it when you left?"
"I saw it. The death was very strange. Was it the baby's hand?"
"I don't know. In short, the ancient house is very dangerous now. Any disturbance may be fatal. Now that the back door is closed, I'm afraid we will have to spend a whole day here."
Everyone in the back hall gathered around the red coffin, talking in low voices.
They were covered in a piece of dirty, smelly white cloth from beginning to end, like ghosts, and could only see the outside world through the incomplete holes in the white cloth.
My breathing became heavier now.
Because there are simply too many anomalies in the ancient house at the moment, so much so that the ancient house is even a little lively. The situation of the vigil the next day is nothing compared to today. There is no comparison at all. If it can be relied on the next day
If you use any means to withstand the supernatural attack,
So today, it is absolutely impossible for such a thing to happen.
The number of ghosts in the ancient house is probably so large that it can drown a person.
"Keep quiet, the ghost has entered the lobby from outside." Yang Jian's face was very solemn, and he motioned to tell others to shut up.
at the same time.
The two paper figures who were still standing stiffly on the left and right sides of the patio did not know when they had appeared in the middle of the lobby. The legs of the paper figures were not separated at all. They were made of a piece of paper, but with colorful colors in the middle.
After describing it, it is impossible to walk at all.
The paper man's eyes are the most terrifying, peeping around with a strange look, which makes people's hair stand on end.
besides.
All kinds of "people" began to come out. These people were like dead bodies buried in the ground. They were dug up today, but they didn't know why they could still remain active.
These people seem to be different, but in fact they all have a unified feature, that is, the clothes on these people are all black.
Even if the clothes are not black, the skin is black.
This black color is not a natural skin color, but a trace of decay and supernatural erosion.
"These are not humans, they are all ghosts on the verge of recovery. They were buried in the old forest and were shackled by some kind of shackles, unable to move, but today they began to escape from the trap." Yang Jian's ghost eyes turned, and he kept his eyes closed.
Yes, I dare not look at it.
Who knows if there might be a ghost here that triggers the killing pattern and attacks you just because you look at it one more time.
Because ghost eyes are the eyes of ghosts, they are difficult to detect to a certain extent and can ignore some of the dangers of ghosts.
"No, something's wrong."
Although Yang Jian was frightened by what he saw at the moment, he did not lose his mind because these ghosts were still pouring in without stopping. If they walked a little further, they would have crossed the line and directly invaded the back hall.
This is not very reasonable.
Because on the day of condolence, other people are not allowed to come to the back hall.
Yang Jian looked at the coffin next to him. He frowned and whispered: "The situation has changed. The ghosts are all coming here. If this continues, the back hall will be blocked and we won't even have a place to move."
, I think this coffin should be carried out, only in this way can we prevent further invasion of those ghosts."
"Four days have passed. If the old man in the coffin is about to revive, then there will probably be some movement by now."
"Captain, do you want to use this old man's body to stop these ghosts?" Li Yang lowered his voice and said, "Isn't this too risky? If you make a mistake in judgment, the old man may wake up early."
"You have to give it a try to find out, otherwise we won't even have a chance to try and make mistakes after all the ghosts enter the back hall."
Yang Jian's attitude was very firm, and his intuition told him that this coffin was the key to his survival right now.
On the fourth day, the ancient house was full of dead ends.
The lanterns went out, the incense stopped burning, the room was unbearable, there were ghosts in the lobby, and the door to the back hall was blocked.
Only this coffin has not played its due role from before to now.
He feels that the effect is today.
"Okay, let's give it a try. The four of us will carry this coffin out together. It will depend on whether it is used." Fan Xing gritted his teeth and replied.
"And this can also confirm in advance whether the filial piety clothes we are wearing are effective." Daqiang also said with some worry, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
This is a life-or-death moment.
Everything done before was just speculation and has not been confirmed. This is the time to confirm it.
One wrong guess and everyone may be killed by ghosts in an instant.
"Act." Yang Jian gave the order seriously.
Everyone took a deep breath and stretched out their hands to lift the red coffin on the ground.
The red coffin was extremely heavy, and it seemed that what lay inside was not a corpse at all, but a coffin of stones. No, it was even heavier than the stones, which was beyond ordinary cognition.
"This weight..." Daqiang stumbled and almost fell, his whole body was trembling.
I have used my utmost strength.
Yang Jian did not speak, but the ghostly shadow on the ground shook, supporting the bottom of the coffin and reducing a considerable part of the weight, so that the red coffin was lifted up without any danger.
If the coffin cannot be lifted due to lack of strength, then the death will be unjust.
The red coffin moved slowly towards the lobby.
Fortunately, the distance is not far, and I can still hold on by holding my breath. However, other people are more worried about their safety after going out.
This is an unknown quantity.
Life or death depends on what happens next.
Even a veteran like Li Yang has a tense face now and his whole body is trembling slightly.
Yang Jian seemed calm. He was even in the mood to hold the cracked spear in one hand and pin the weird baby to prevent such evil spirits from reviving and waking up, so as not to increase unnecessary danger.
Enter the lobby.
The air was cold and turbid, and the air was filled with the smell of rotting corpses.
Black ghost figures emerged one after another, as if there was a surge of people, filling almost the entire lobby, and they were still getting closer.
Yang Jian and others were carrying the red coffin. They were also under great pressure. Fan Xing was breathing heavily, Daqiang was sweating non-stop, and even his hands and feet seemed to have become stiff.
Fortunately, they were not attacked by evil spirits when they showed up.
Even the evil spirits didn't notice their existence.
"The mourning clothes worked."
This has been popping up in everyone's mind, because this is a very obvious thing. If it hadn't worked, someone would have been killed by the ghost in this encounter, and it would be impossible for them to be safe. After all, the ghosts here are so
If you do too much, there will always be a ghost staring at you.
The four people seemed to be invisible now, they did not exist at all, and they did not attract the attention of any evil ghosts.
The red coffin was finally successfully carried to the middle of the lobby and dropped down.
The other people looked at Yang Jian without saying a word, but the look in their eyes from under the white cloth said everything.
Why are ghosts still coming here?
Yang Jian's eyes moved slightly.
According to his opinion, the appearance of the red coffin should stop these ghosts from further invading the ancient house. How could there be no change at all?
No change means the second misjudgment.
The coffin cannot deter these ghosts, or in other words, it cannot achieve a certain balance to cope with today's danger.
Yang Jian didn't speak, but just motioned for everyone to get closer to the coffin, maybe leaving a safe distance around the coffin for him.
But soon.
This guess is a bit wrong.
The ghosts are getting closer and closer. Although they have not attacked the four people, they have oppressed everyone's space. Once you are swallowed up, you will be surrounded by ghosts in all directions. In this way, you can even wear mourning clothes and pretend to be invisible.
I'm just afraid of being attacked.
"How about going back to the back hall?" Unable to resist the pressure, Daqiang reminded Yang Jian in a suppressed voice.
But as soon as this voice appeared.
Several strange figures suddenly stopped, raised their heads, and looked here with a pair of horrifying eyes, motionless, as if they were locking someone's position.
Da Qiang's face turned pale with fright, and his breathing stopped.
Say no.
If you speak, you will be discovered by ghosts.
Mourning clothes do not completely isolate you from ghost attacks, but they block the ghost's perception so that ghosts cannot detect you.
That's all.
But you must keep quiet and make no noise, otherwise the ghost will still find you.
Several strange voices stared here because of Daqiang's words, but they did not take action immediately. It seemed that the words appeared briefly and then disappeared, which was not enough for the evil ghost to attack you.
But in this case, you can't make any more noise.
Otherwise, the evil ghost already staring here may kill you in the next moment.
Daqiang realized the danger, so he kept silent and did not dare to speak any more.
"The more this happens, the less likely you are to retreat to the back room. Mourning clothes can isolate the perception of ghosts, but they cannot isolate you from the attacks of supernatural forces. Once there is no scope of movement around you and you are in close contact with the ghosts, even if the ghosts cannot sense you, it is possible
If I kill you, no one can walk freely among a group of ghosts and still be safe."
Yang Jian's eyes flickered.
Although Daqiang's words exposed the danger, it also allowed him to confirm the information.
Very critical information, related to everyone's safety.
"But what should we do now?" Yang Jian also became anxious. He thought calmly, but could not think of a way to solve this situation.
Don't be approached by ghosts, otherwise you will definitely die.
But the red coffin didn't seem to play its intended role, stopping the evil ghost in its tracks.
It is absolutely impossible for the messenger's mission to be fatal. No matter how difficult it is, there is still room for completion. After all, this is only the fourth day, so this red coffin must be useful, but I have not found a way to use it.
Is the position of the coffin not correct enough?
It shouldn't be possible.
Then it's this coffin that should be...opened.
An idea flashed in Yang Jian's mind, and he immediately thought of condolences and paid homage to the remains of the deceased.
The coffin has not been opened and the old man has not shown up, so the ghost will naturally not stop acting.
"Try it."
Without saying a word, Yang Jian raised his hand and pushed the coffin lid.
boom!
The thick red-painted coffin lid fell directly to the ground with a loud noise.
Did he take the initiative to open the coffin?
The other people nearby were immediately shocked.
Aren't you afraid that the old man in the coffin will revive early due to the evil ghost?
But don't wait for them to think about it.
suddenly.
The old man's body lying in the coffin, with wrinkles and spots on his face and a peaceful face, suddenly sat up from the coffin due to the influence of some supernatural force.
At the same time, the peaceful old face also changed its expression instantly.
He became serious and ferocious, as if he was not closing his eyes and was very angry. Although his eyes were still closed and lifeless, it was completely different from the peaceful appearance before.
Sitting up and changing his face in an instant, the people next to the coffin were sweating on their palms, and they were so shocked that they almost turned around and ran away.
But Yang Jian didn't move.
His actions are the signal for everyone. As long as he doesn't move first, Li Yang, Fan Xing, and Da Qiang will remain frozen in place no matter how scared, uneasy, or frightened they are.
At the same time, a strange and incomprehensible scene occurred.
The evil ghosts that poured into the ancient house all stopped at this moment and stopped further intrusion.
The wails suddenly stopped, and the cold wind that poured into the lobby quickly decreased and almost subsided. The eyes of the two black paper figures standing at the front actually changed to look like the paper again, no longer as before.
It looked like a living person moving flexibly, and no longer peeked around.
All kinds of supernatural phenomena seem to have been disturbed and suppressed, and there is a feeling that they are going to disappear.
But that's all.
The ghost is still there.
Although he stopped, he didn't leave.
The old man's body sat upright and stiff in the coffin, his old face still serious and fierce.
They compete with each other, creating a delicate balance.
"This, is this okay?" Fan Xing opened his eyes wide, feeling incredible.
How could a dead body stop these evil spirits?
Is this still an ordinary corpse?
It's almost like a supernatural prop that can restrain evil spirits.
"My guess is correct, the old man's body was already recovering on the fourth day, so the way to survive on the fourth day is to open the coffin and let the supernatural power of the old man's recovery come out, and fight against other evil spirits, just like...
...Condolences.”
"The red coffin blocks the supernatural power of the old man, so the coffin must be opened."
Yang Jian understood at this moment.
This is the fourth day of condolences.
But this balance is definitely not absolute. Most of the evil ghosts are blocked, but a small number of evil ghosts are.
Yang Jian's ghostly eyes peered at the strange and motionless crowd.
He saw a figure walking among the crowd, ignoring the old man in the coffin.
And there was more than one figure.
Among them, Yang Jian also saw a special figure.
Although it passed by in a flash.
That figure was extremely bright, as if wearing a bright red dress, which was very eye-catching.
