Dajiang City, Chengxi Drama Academy, five people wearing raincoats stood at the door of Chengxi Drama Academy, with different expressions, rainwater fell along the raincoats, no one spoke, they just watched quietly.
Time passed slowly. I don’t know how long it took. A young man with a gloomy face looked at the watch on his wrist. At 9:50, the young man raised his head, glanced at the other four people, and said:
"Get ready to go in. The time is almost up. We only have less than two and a half hours to find the red coffin with the coffin nails as soon as possible and send the things out."
The young man's tone was very calm, but what he said made the other four people's expressions change slightly. The young man looked at the changes of the others and said nothing.
He took out his mobile phone from his pocket, clicked on a recorder, found an audio file, and chose to play it. As the young man played the audio file, a drama suddenly came from the mobile phone.
The wail was gentle and lingering for a long time. Reflected by the sound of raindrops hitting the ground and lightning flashing across the sky, the sound seemed particularly weird and terrifying.
The five people had different expressions. The gloomy young man looked at the flashing mobile phone with a calm expression. He threw the mobile phone on the ground and turned to the other four people and said:
"I have said everything that needs to be said, and you all know everything that you should know. Everyone knows the rules. We are not newcomers anymore. This mission is very difficult."
"I believe you also know the seriousness of this mission, so I hope you can take it seriously and stop hiding it. I have experienced so many close calls and finally got to this point. I don't want to be in this critical moment."
At the critical moment, all the previous efforts have been wasted, so everyone, I believe you don’t want to waste all the previous efforts like this.”
The other four people looked at the Yin Ying young man, their expressions changing, but in the end they didn't say anything, they just nodded and obeyed the Yin Ying young man's arrangement.
They knew very well in their hearts that what the Yinyi young man said was true. This mission was very difficult. If they made even the slightest mistake this time, they would all die here.
The gloomy young man nodded without saying anything. He turned to look at the town filled with lanterns and the stage filled with people. The young man didn't say anything. He walked forward with an indifferent expression and deep eyes.
The remaining four people followed the gloomy young man in silence, stepping through the rain.
Their mission this time was very simple. They were to deliver the things to the red coffin with the coffin nails, and then they could leave. The mission was as simple as that, but it was not that easy to complete.
They know very well that whether they can survive this time depends on their luck and means.
The five people braved the pouring rain and walked directly into the small town with hanging lanterns. The walls trembled slightly, then calmed down again, and everything was as before.
With a rumble, lightning struck across the sky and landed on a nearby tree. With a crash, the fifteen to six meter tall tree was directly split in half by the lightning and fell towards both sides of the street, with leaves falling to the ground.
At this moment, under the tree, there was a young man wearing a blue Tang suit with a slightly pale face, holding a black oil-paper umbrella. He was looking at the big tree that was split in half by thunder with a speechless expression, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly:
"Sure enough, the old saying is true. You can't stand under a big tree on a rainy day, as you may be struck by thunder."
The young man in Tang suit shook the fallen leaves on his umbrella. He was lucky, as the oil-paper umbrella did not seem to be struck by the thunder.
Looking at the big tree that fell to the ground, the young man in Tang suit sighed:
"Oh, this is not a good sign. It was a bad start. I was struck by thunder before I even entered. It's just..."
"well……"
Feeling the numbness on his body, the corners of the young man's mouth in Tang suit twitched. He looked up at the Chengxi Drama Academy shrouded in darkness, feeling slightly helpless:
"It's true that the old man actually asked me to pick up things, thirty-five costumes, plus a scribe's coat. This is not an easy job."
The young man in Tang suit looked very helpless. He shook his head, shook off the fallen leaves from his head, and walked towards the gate of Chengxi Drama Academy:
"In such a dangerous place, there are so many rules, sir. Don't you know that this is what bothers me the most?"
Although the young man in Tang suit was somewhat unwilling to get involved in this kind of thing, he still chose to come here after remembering the old man's instructions and his sincere persuasion.
"However, let me tell you something, the old man is so cruel that he would even kill his own grandson."
Thinking of the old man's kind smile, the young man in Tang suit subconsciously touched his butt, with a rare look of shame on his face:
"You're such an old man, why are you spanked like you were when you were a kid?"
The young man in Tang suit complained and came to the gate of Chengxi Drama Academy. Looking at the quiet Drama Academy, the young man in Tang suit smiled slightly:
"Let's go in and watch the ghost show. If you miss it, you won't have the chance. Besides the costumes, let's see if there is anything else you can get. Don't come in vain."
The young man in Tang suit thought so and took out a long blood-red needle from his pocket, with a long black thread on it.
Looking at the red needle in his hand, the young man's face felt a little painful. He looked up at the wall next to the door in front of him and murmured to himself:
"It would be unreasonable if we don't get more benefits this time. I heard that Mr. Du has new wine again. It just so happens that we can get more this time and use it to exchange for money to buy wine."
As he spoke, the young man in Tang suit slightly scratched the wall with the red needle in his hand. In just an instant, a crack several meters long appeared on the wall.
Seeing the red light spreading from the crack and the melodious whine, the young man in Tang suit narrowed his eyes, put away the red needle, and walked directly into the crack holding a black umbrella.
The rain was erratic. At this moment, ordinary people from all over Dajiang City were rushing towards the Chengxi Theater Academy. They all came to watch and listen to the opera.
Before you know it, a grand opera will begin at the Chengxi Theater Academy.
But when the young man in Tang attire walked into the crack, his eyes were filled with light. When the young man in Tang attire regained his sight, he found that he had come to a somewhat strange place.
The young man in Tang suit looked around. Quietly, a stone road was winding down. On both sides were small wooden houses that were close together. In front of these small wooden houses, there were lanterns hanging in different colors, including white ones.
Green, red, and black, these lights are a bit cold, covering the wooden houses on both sides of the path.
The young man in Tang suit slightly pressed the black oil-paper umbrella, his eyes flickered, and he looked at the faintly glowing lanterns around him with a calm expression:
"Coming in, you have to abide by the taboos. The first taboo is, if you are afraid of death, don't touch those lanterns, let alone wonder about those cabins."
The young man in Tang suit walked downstairs holding an umbrella. The old man said that as long as he held an umbrella, he would be safe here. The evil ghosts could not see him or feel him, unless he committed suicide and violated the taboo.
In this section of the road, there are relatively few taboos, just a few. You cannot touch those lanterns. The white lanterns represent terror in the cabin, but the degree of danger is within an acceptable range.
The green lantern means that there are currently no ghosts in the cabin and it is relatively safe. You can go in and hide if you are in danger, but the time cannot exceed seven minutes, otherwise you will be eaten by the haunted house.
