Chapter 5 North Mountain Dragon and the Hanged Woman
Dong Xie's hands firmly supported the ground.
The severe pain from his neck almost made him feel worse than death.
But...he is still alive!
As blood was shed crazily, he still maintained consciousness.
Reluctantly, he raised his head again and saw that the sword had disappeared without a trace.
The wound on my neck is healing little by little.
But the healing speed is... very slow.
It took him a long time to regain his ability to speak.
After standing up again, he suddenly discovered that the flames inside the lantern that had fallen to the ground were getting smaller and smaller.
"how come……"
The fire in the lantern was not that weak just now!
Once the lantern is completely extinguished, he will be plunged into complete darkness!
At this time, the wound on his finger had also recovered, but he could feel that if he didn't leave now, his life might really be at stake here.
With this in mind, he put his hands on the pillar and moved forward little by little.
The body is getting heavier and heavier.
"Ungrateful people..."
Dong Xie did not forget this sentence.
That Granny Yan seems to be a domestic servant of the Bai Mansion. It sounds like she is very loyal to "her".
So, when she says "ungrateful", it is very likely that someone has acted ungratefully towards "her".
Dong Xie asked himself, "she" has absolutely no kindness to him, so she is definitely not talking about him.
So……
Most likely they are servants of the White House, guests, or...
"Li Ruochu?"
This was Dong Xie's first reaction.
Almost everyone in the Kingdom of God knows about Li Ruochu and "her". However, no one knows who "she" is.
In the rumors about the Kingdom of God, people believed that "she" was sealed by Li Ruochu. But where the seal was and why it was sealed, no one knew.
If this is the case, it is not surprising that the loyal Granny Yan would accuse Li Ruochu of being ungrateful.
"If we can find a way to seal Li Ruochu's seal, there may be a way to deal with that female ghost who cannot even be named!"
This is the best solution he can think of now!
"Ungrateful...it doesn't matter, the enemy of my enemy is my friend!"
He continued to walk between the pillars in front of him...
at the same time……
He recalled something very important.
About the memory of Hei Dongxie.
In the memory he gained from peeping, Hei Dongxie once met Beishan Jinglong.
Yes... Kitayama Kageryu who was supposed to be dead but later came back to life.
But the strange thing is... Beishan Jinglong in Hei Dongxie's memory seems to be completely different.
He was taciturn and even after entering the apartment, he was still terrifyingly serious.
"Doll..."
Dong Xie was already convinced that Beishan Jinglong at this time was no longer the person he knew before.
Instead, the soul was absorbed by the doll and the host of the body was taken away.
The source of the Beishan family's supernatural phenomena is the ancestor of the Beishan family who became a deserter.
That man made a deal with the White House.
Could this be the reason why Kuju Midori once went to the Kitayama family shrine?
In Hei Dongxie's memory, Beishan Jinglong had no explanation for why he came to the apartment in the parallel world.
Then, he didn't come back from his first mission in Scarlet.
Under normal circumstances, common sense should think that he is dead.
But……
According to the testimony of the residents who were traveling with him...it doesn't seem to be that simple.
The residents told Hei Dongxie categorically that they saw with their own eyes that Beishan Jinglong turned into a doll! They even took a photo to show Hei Dongxie.
The doll I saw when I climbed the Tower of Babylon was Beishan Jinglong!
A living person turned into a puppet!
At that time, the place where they executed the Scarlet Letter was... DC City!
right!
It is the DC city where the entrance to hell was first opened!
The original source of the ghost-like physique!
In the parallel world, there is also DC City!
At the same time, Dong Xie thought that at that time, the doll had swallowed up all the ghosts.
This situation is exactly the same as when the doll swallowed Qi Yuxuan's ghost. This is definitely not an accident.
…
Dong Xie remembered that Beishan Jinglong and Chu Mitian once appeared at the same time in Pu Shenyu's prophetic painting.
These were originally supposed to be two unrelated characters.
This is the fundamental reason why Shen Yu married into the Beishan family.
"What is the reason..."
Dong Xie, who was thinking with his head down, suddenly felt his head hit something.
He raised his head.
What catches the eye is a pair of feet.
Dong Xie was stunned for a second and quickly jumped away! Then, he looked up...
All I saw was a woman in ancient costume hanging above my head!
The woman's neck was wrapped in three feet of white silk, hanging in the air.
Although Dong Xie was thinking just now, it was absolutely impossible not to see such a terrifying scene!
when!
Appeared here?
When Dong Xie looked carefully, suddenly, the hanging man looked at him!
"Your...back...face..."
Hearing these words, Dong Xie suddenly felt horrified!
He quickly looked back...
There is no one.
Turning around again...
What he saw was this scene.
On the ceiling, hanging...
It is a lifelike doll.
The doll is dressed exactly like the woman in ancient costume!
Then, the rope broke and the doll fell to the ground!
Dong Xie only felt that his scalp was numb, and this strange feeling could be said to make his whole body tremble.
He no longer hesitated, held the lantern and ran away!
While running, he would look behind him from time to time...
Fortunately...
Nothing is following behind.
However, Dong Xie knew that naked eye vision was of little significance in the Scarlet Letter mission. Maybe there was a ghost following him now.
Is it Granny Yan? That Daomadan doll?
He finally entered a new corridor.
The ground was littered with broken wooden boards or fallen porcelain vases.
The flame of the lantern became weaker and weaker.
This also caused Dong Xie's uneasiness to reach its peak.
Although the light cannot drive away ghosts at all, holding it in his hand can give him some peace of mind. If he falls into darkness, the fear of the unknown alone is enough to overwhelm him.
He continued to look back at this time.
Behind... there's still nothing.
There were no ghosts, no weird noises, and no dolls following me.
"Where is it?"
Under the constraints of the apartment, it should be difficult for the ghost behind him to easily come up and kill him. But unable to see it with the naked eye, Dong Xie could not tell whether he had gotten rid of it.
"but why?"
That woman who turned into a doll, why do you have to remind yourself?
Is it because she was also a victim whose soul was devoured and turned into a ghost, or is she still trying to save herself?
If this is the case, does it prove that there are kind ghosts in the White House?
Could it be that... Li Ruochu's ghost is lingering here, and I... can ask him for help?
