On the fourth floor, in the corridor, the lanterns swayed, automatically making a squeaking sound in the absence of wind.
At the entrance of the corridor, a rickety old and thin figure slowly walked out of the corridor. He was hunched and carrying a lantern. His face was almost pressed against the lantern. His face was thin, his eyes were sunken, and his eyes were empty.
, with gray hair, was surprisingly the old woman who had arranged for Lin Tianqi and the others to move in before, walking up from the corridor with a lantern.
The old woman walked like a breeze, silently, and her footsteps made no sound when she stepped on the ground.
With a stooped body and seemingly staggering steps, the old woman finally walked to the door of a room in the middle of the corridor. She held up a lantern and shined a light on the door. Her skinny face lifted, and her empty eyes slowly revealed
The brilliance of humanity: "The first one." The old woman's chapped lips moved, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a strange and scary smile.
As he spoke, he slowly took out a small palm-sized copper bell from his arms. Holding the bell in his left hand and a lantern in his right hand, he closed his eyes and began to recite obscure incantations in a low voice.
"Dingling...Dingling...Dingling..."
The old woman began to chant a spell towards the door, and the bell in her hand began to ring, making a tinkling sound.
If there are any monks here, they will definitely be able to hear that this is a soul-catching mantra. Reciting the mantra and shaking the soul-catching bell can arrest the soul of the deceased.
"Dingling...Dingling...Dingling..."
The crisp sound of the copper bell sounded, extremely crisp, echoing in the silent corridor, as if carrying an unspeakable magic power, touching the soul.
But after shaking for a while, the old woman suddenly stopped and opened her eyes. There was a trace of doubt in the deep-set eye sockets in her muddy and hollow eyes.
Looking at the door, his brows furrowed on his thin face, as if he had encountered something unexpected.
After pondering for a while, the old woman put away the copper bell and pushed towards the door, as if she was planning to open the door to see what was going on inside. But at this moment, something happened!
"Bang!"
A loud bang came from behind the door. It felt like someone kicked the door from behind. The old woman seemed to be startled by the sudden loud noise, and her whole rickety body trembled.
, raised his head and looked at the door, only to have time for his pupils to shrink violently before the door frame suddenly broke open and the door flew straight out.
"Boom!" The old woman didn't even have time to react. Her body was directly hit by the door that flew out, and flew straight back and hit the wall behind, making a loud noise.
"Bang!" There was a sound, and the door that flew out fell to the ground, and the old woman's whole body was pressed against the wall behind her. It looked like her whole body had been smashed into the wall, and her face was even more bruised.
One piece or some of the skin was directly cracked and blood oozed out. It looked bloody and miserable.
His empty eyes were even more blank, as if he was confused.
He seemed to be wondering why the door suddenly flew out.
"Hey, old man, are you okay?"
Immediately afterwards, a surprised voice sounded, and the old woman came to her senses, raised her head and looked ahead, and saw Lin Tianqi standing at the door, looking at him in surprise.
Seeing Lin Tianqi appear, the old woman's eyes froze again, with shock and disbelief in her empty eyes.
Lin Tianqi saw the look in the old woman's eyes, and there was a hint of amusement in his eyes, but he didn't show it on his face, pretending to be surprised as if nothing had happened.
"I'm sorry, old man. I was sleeping downstairs just now and heard a constant noise from above. I couldn't sleep due to the noise, so I came up to take a look. Unexpectedly, after entering the room, the door suddenly closed for some reason. I pulled it a few times.
I didn't even open it, so I kicked it with a bit of force. I didn't expect you to be outside the door. How about you? Are you in good health? Is there nothing wrong?"
Lin Tianqi looked at the old man with a concerned look and said.
"Crack!"
As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, the thumb-sized bamboo pole used to hold the lantern in the old man's hand broke directly in the middle, and the lantern fell to the ground.
"Old man, you dropped your lantern."
Lin Tianqi smiled, with a harmless smile on his face.
The old man raised his head, looked at him deeply, then bent down, picked up the lantern on the ground, and left without saying a word.
But this time, the old woman looked even more hobbling than before, because she became limping when she walked.
Lame!
Lin Tianqi couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth when he saw the old woman walking towards the corridor, and a hint of teasing flashed in his eyes.
Then he turned around and glanced at the room he had entered earlier. In the dim room, a broken mirror and a clump of black woman's long hair could be vaguely seen on the bedside dressing table.
"Let's see how many tricks you can do."
Lin Tianqi raised his eyebrows, looked away from the room, and walked towards the corridor.
Not long after, he returned to the third floor. As soon as he returned to the door of his room, the doors of Li Qiang and Fang Ming's rooms next to him opened.
"Mr. Lin" "Mr. Lin"
Li Qiang and Fang Ming walked out of the room and saw Lin Tianqi coming back from outside. They thought something had happened and asked nervously.
"Didn't you hear the sound just now?"
Lin Tianqi asked when he saw the two people's looks.
When the two heard this, they looked at each other in confusion: "What is the sound?" They both shook their heads in confusion.
Li Qiang and Fang Ming both looked at each other with surprised expressions on their faces. They had not heard any sound in the room just now. It was only now that they heard Lin Tianqi's footsteps coming back that they opened the door and came out to take a look.
I haven't noticed any other sounds before.
But then, the two of them were suddenly startled and noticed the problem. Since Lin Tianqi came back from outside, how did Lin Tianqi go out just now? Why didn't the two of them hear the sound.
At this thought, Li Qiang and Fang Ming's expressions changed again. They were both vigilant people and immediately realized the problem. They were in the room just now, but they were always vigilant.
"Mr. Lin?"
The two looked at Lin Tianqi solemnly.
Lin Tianqi's expression also moved slightly. Judging from the answers of Li Qiang and Fang Ming, they didn't hear the sound just now. So obviously, the two of them must have been cut off by something, which may have blocked them from the outside world.
Hearing, similar spells that mess with people's facial features.
"Mr. Lin, did something happen?"
Seeing that Lin Tianqi didn't speak for a while, Li Qiang and Fang Ming couldn't help but become more solemn and cautious, and looked at Lin Tianqi and asked.
"It's okay. Don't worry too much. Just take the things I gave you. I will tell you if anything happens."
Lin Tianqi waved his hands and said to the two of them.
"Okay, let's go back to the room and continue to rest."
Li Qiang and Fang Ming looked at each other. Although they still had many questions in their minds, they still nodded after hearing Lin Tianqi's words. They chose to believe Lin Tianqi and turned back to their rooms. However, at this moment, in the hall on the first floor downstairs, someone heard
Several voices came.
"Is there anyone?" "Is there anyone? Stay at the hotel" "...."
Several male and female voices came from downstairs.
"Is there anyone else coming?"
Li Qiang and Fang Ming, who were just about to return to their rooms, couldn't help but stop after hearing the good news. Lin Tianqi was a little surprised, and his expressions also changed.
"ah!"
"Ah, damn old woman, you want to scare people to death."
Soon, a woman's scream and a man's curse came from downstairs.
Li Qiang and Fang Ming looked at each other, then looked at Lin Tianqi.
