Xiaoyou's mother's cell phone made a sound, and the woman covered in blood grabbed Xiaoyou's body, hugged her and dragged her outside the house.
Li Gui appeared, and the situation had reached a very critical point. Xiao You and Xiao Jia quickly caught Han Fei, who was still deep in thought.
"Get out of here first!"
The sound of the soul bell on the door frame made people panic. All three of them heard the sound of the corridor door being hit by an external force. Something was coming in from outside the building!
"Quick!"
When Xiaoyou and the others stepped out of the room, the corridor door on the first floor was completely knocked open!
Looking downstairs along the gap between the stair railings, a blood color almost instantly dyed the first floor of the apartment red.
It was moving so fast that you couldn't even see what it was. All you knew was that everything it passed was dyed blood red.
"It's coming!"
No one knew what it was, and the layer-by-layer sense of terror and depression made even Xiaoyou's mother feel extremely frightened.
"Go to the seventh floor! Its target seems to be the room where the paper man is!"
The soul bell keeps ringing, which is both a warning and an attraction to unknown monsters.
The three of them ran downstairs amid the ringing of soul bells. They had no other choice.
He rushed to the eighth floor and rushed to the corner of the eighth and seventh floors. At this time, the blood red color had spread to the fourth floor!
"Come in!"
Running forward, Xiao You's mother dragged Xiao You back to the seventh floor first, followed closely by Xiao Jia who was carrying a bag, and Han Fei ran at the back.
He strode into the house and gently closed the open door.
Just when he closed the door, blood spread across the seventh floor, and a strange sound came from the door, as if countless millipedes were crawling by, or as if fingers were growing out of the gaps.
No need to look, just hearing the sound is very scary.
The three of them were hiding on the seventh floor, not daring to come out. They were now very happy that the bloody monster was not looking for them.
If he were to face such a terrifying thing in an apartment building, Han Fei couldn't think of a chance to survive.
"Is it gone?" Xiao Jia asked softly, but received stern looks from Han Fei and Xiao You's mother.
Being stared at by one person and one ghost, Xiao Jia shrank his neck. He was surprised to find that Han Fei's unintentional gaze was even scarier than the ghost's gaze.
Closing his mouth wisely, Xiao Jia maintained his posture, not even daring to move.
Ten seconds later, the sound of crashing, chewing and paper figurines being torn came from the ninth floor. The old man living on the ninth floor seemed to have guessed this and escaped into the bedroom in advance.
After a long time, the soul bell stopped ringing, and the oppressive atmosphere slowly receded.
Han Fei stood up slowly. He lay on the cat's eye and looked outside. The blood tide subsided, and he vaguely saw a person wrapped in blood.
The man was covered in wounds, and all the wounds had smiling human faces. It seemed to have no legs, and its lower body turned into a tide of blood.
This monster was different from all the monsters Han Fei had encountered before. Han Fei felt no resentment or yin energy from it. It was not the same kind of ghost as the boy's corpse or the hanged ghost. It was also different from the aura emitted by the clown. It seemed
It is something that this desperate world has grown on its own.
"If people's despair is ignored, it will definitely lead to deeper despair..."
The monster seemed to feel something. It slowed down and turned its head to look at it. Han Fei quickly avoided it.
"So sharp! Can you even detect sight?"
Han Fei covered his mouth and nose. If he made any sound at this time, the monster might come in!
There is a similar scene in many horror movies, where the devil is about to leave, but the supporting character accidentally knocks over the bottle.
In order to prevent this from happening, Han Fei controlled every muscle in his body and kept himself completely still.
When Xiao You and Xiao Jia saw Han Fei being so wary, they didn't dare to ask anything.
A full fifteen minutes passed, and there was no sound in the corridor. Han Fei took a deep breath and looked at the door again.
The eyes slowly approached the cat's eye. When Han Fei looked outside, a black and white turbid eye was also looking into the house through the cat's eye!
"It's not gone!"
Cold sweat broke out instantly, and Han Fei's body suddenly became stiff. He had no ability to face such a terrifying monster.
After a short stay, Han Fei suddenly realized something. With the monster's ability, he might have been killed by the other party when he saw it. That guy would not give him time to panic unless the other party returned.
I want to play with him.
"How's it going? Is that thing gone?" Xiao Jia asked. He noticed that Han Fei's face looked a little strange, and he immediately had a bad premonition: "Is it still there?"
"I'm not sure either." Han Fei held his companion, and after hesitating for a moment, he slowly opened the door to the seventh floor.
The cold, damp wind with a hint of fishy smell poured into the house.
The three of them all stepped back, and they saw a puppet as tall as a real person standing at the door.
This male puppet was wearing a chef's uniform and holding a thick-backed kitchen knife for chopping bones. His face was burned by the fire, leaving only two cloudy eyeballs like glass beads.
"When did this thing get here?"
The corridor has returned to normal, but the cracks on the wall have increased again. The bloody monster has left, but unexpectedly there is another strange thing at the door of the house.
"He looks a bit like the man we met on the fifth floor during the day." Xiao Jia reminded: "The man who married a ghost on the fifth floor is also a chef. His face was also disfigured due to the fire, and his height and shape are similar to this puppet."
"The question is why does it appear here?" Han Fei stared at the kitchen knife in the opponent's hand. He slowly approached and tried to take off the opponent's kitchen knife, but the kitchen knife seemed to have grown with the puppet.
It can't be taken off at all.
"It's so weird! In real life, a disfigured man made a puppet for his wife to summon ghosts and marry ghosts. After dark, a puppet that looked similar to him ran around with a kitchen knife." Xiao Jia was a little scared, and he didn't dare to look directly.
The puppet man's eyes did not dare to walk away from the puppet, for fear that the puppet would chop him with a knife in the next second.
After a stalemate for a while, Han Fei found that the puppet had not moved, and he felt that he could no longer stay here.
"The papermaker is right, we have more important things to do."
Han Fei was the first to walk away from the puppet. He wanted to go back to the ninth floor to take a look to make sure the paper maker was safe. But as soon as he reached the ninth floor, the soul bell rang again, and the three living people
It seems that people cannot approach the ninth floor casually.
"The bloody monster probably hasn't gone far yet, so let's forget it." Xiao Jia persuaded: "That old man Jiren has his own destiny. He has lived here for so long, and he must have more experience in dealing with dangers than us.
.We should leave as soon as he said. There is a saying that goes like this, if you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer the consequences."
Xiao Jia was scared out of his wits, and Han Fei didn't force it. When the three of them returned to the seventh floor, the chef puppet was still standing in the same place, maintaining the same posture as before.
"This puppet looks really evil. I'm so afraid that it will suddenly rush over and stab me." Xiao Jia hid behind Han Fei and Xiao You.
"Don't talk nonsense, be careful of trouble coming from your mouth." Han Fei led the team to the fifth floor, and Xiao You, who was holding his mother's mobile phone, suddenly stopped.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"I remember I dropped my phone here, but now I can't find it." Xiao You looked at the empty corridor, feeling a little strange.
Xiao Jia didn't think it mattered: "What are you doing here? There were so many scary things passing by just now. Your mobile phone has probably been taken to other places."
"I just think it's a pity. There are a lot of photos and videos of me and my mother in there." Xiao You was a little disappointed. She held her mother's phone tightly and secretly vowed that she would never lose it again: "
It’s okay, let’s go.”
He said it didn't matter, but Xiaoyou kept looking around, trying to find his phone.
When she passed the fifth floor, her eyes glanced at a certain room, and her eyelids suddenly twitched.
"Huh?"
Raising his arm, Xiao You pointed towards the room with a different expression on his face: "Look at the puppet in the wedding dress!"
Han Fei and Xiao Jia also stopped, and all three of them looked into the room.
In the mourning hall, which was decorated as a wedding room, there was a dining table filled with a variety of meats and dishes. The female puppet in a wedding dress was sitting next to the dining table.
It was dressed very delicately, with red thread all over its body. Its wooden left hand was placed on the table, and its blood-stained right hand held Xiaoyou's mobile phone.
"The puppet picked up my phone?"
The puppets are made very much like humans, but they themselves look extremely awkward and scary.
The three of them stopped in place. After a while, Xiao You walked towards the room on the fifth floor: "The phone contains the memories of my mother and I. I'm going to get it back."
"I'd better go." Han Fei stopped Xiao You: "I just want to see what that puppet is and figure out the principle of marrying a ghost."
Holding the mutilated bloody paper figure in his arms, Han Fei held it in his backhand and stepped on the white "囍" character on the ground to enter the house.
Just after taking a few steps, Han Fei's ears moved. His five senses were far beyond those of ordinary people and he caught the sound of very light footsteps.
Turning his head to look, Han Fei's pupils shrank suddenly and he shouted: "Be careful!"
Xiao Jia and Xiao You realized later and glanced behind them. The chef puppet with a burnt face had moved quietly behind Xiao Jia.
It stood on the steps, its tall body cast a shadow, and the huge kitchen knife was raised high, as if it would be aimed at Xiao Jia's neck and chopped down in the next second!
"I go!"
Looking at the sharp blade, Xiao Jia's legs went weak for an instant. All this happened so suddenly that he was not mentally prepared at all, and he was frightened and sat down on the ground.
When the three people's attention was attracted by the chef puppet outside the door, Han Fei suddenly felt a tingling pain in his hand. When he came back to his senses, he realized that the wedding puppet who was sitting next to the dining table was already standing in front of him.
The wedding puppet held the chopsticks in its left hand. When Han Fei turned around, the chopsticks stopped right next to his temples.
The puppet's face was only a few centimeters away from Han Fei, and Han Fei could clearly see the exquisite makeup on the other person's face.
"It looks like a real person, as if a human face grew out of the wood." Han Fei stared at the puppet, not daring to move his eyes: "You two, pay attention! It seems that as long as we look at it, it will not move. We
We must ensure that they are always in our sight."
After reminding Xiao Jia and Xiao You, Han Fei reached out and grabbed the cell phone in the puppet's right hand. The wedding puppet did not resist. When others looked at it, it seemed to be just an ordinary puppet.
After easily getting the phone, Han Fei asked Xiao Jia to come over and keep an eye on the woman in the wedding dress, while he took the time to explore the room.
"The residents on the fifth floor can marry ghosts, and I should be able to, too. If I learn this ritual, then maybe I can also find the lost person!"
The papermaker once said that it is dangerous to believe in ghosts, gods and people who perform rituals, but Han Fei does not care about these. He does not belong to any of the five types of people, and he will not be biased towards any party. He only does what he thinks is right.
things.
"It feels like this puppet couple is playing a one-two-three puppet game." Xiao You stared at the chef puppet outside the door, Xiao Jia timidly stared at the wedding puppet, and Han Fei quickly searched the house.
The ritual of marrying a ghost in the Yin Mansion corresponds to the ritual of marrying a ghost in the Yang Mansion. Many of the things prepared by the chef with a disfigured face in reality are also available here.
"Has the chef succeeded? After dark, he will enter the body of a male puppet and reunite with his dead wife in the underworld?"
When Han Fei went to the fifth floor during the day, the wedding puppet was hidden under the quilt. The whole body was covered with a thick quilt and could not get any sunlight.
After nightfall, Han Fei entered the bedroom again. He saw the man he met during the day lying naked on the double bed, with all kinds of weird symbols written all over his body.
"Is the soul controlling the male puppet now the chef?"
Staring at the symbols on the man's body, Han Fei used his abnormal memory to write them all down. He planned to try it on himself after leaving.
"Han Fei? Are you okay? I can't stand it anymore! I always feel like this puppet will kill me at any time!"
"Hold on a little longer." After memorizing the symbols and words, Han Fei looked at the bedside again. The huge wedding photo was covered with black cloth.
"I thought wedding photos were weird during the day, and I didn't know what they would look like at night."
Han Fei reached out and took off the black cloth. There were no portraits in the wedding photo, only two huge blood holes.
"The person in the photo came out?"
Moving the photo frame, a piece of yellow paper fell down, which recorded in detail the process of summoning souls and marrying ghosts.
"To marry a ghost, you need to use the memories of each other as a bridge. It requires three steps: attracting the soul, summoning the soul and returning the soul. You must also obtain an important item from the deceased's lifetime as a medium..."
After reading it, Han Fei thought of many things.
"The medium for the chef to marry a ghost should be this wedding photo they took together. My medium..." Han Fei lowered his head and looked at the bloody paper figure in his hand. He felt that everything was carefully arranged: "That woman
I taught the chef how to marry a ghost, and I happened to witness everything when I came here, and also obtained a paper figurine, which happened to meet the most basic conditions for the ceremony."
It seemed like a coincidence, but in fact it was an opportunity brought by countless deaths. Han Fei's hand gently held the body of the paper man, and he silently recited the name.
