Chapter 124: I don't swallow

Qin Yun and Lian Xue comforted Li Xiao one more time before they went to bed at night, and after Li Xiao fell asleep first, they both prepared to go to bed as well.

Lian Xue said, "Qin Yun, do I sleep on the outside?"

The outer side is by the door, so if something dangerous happens, the person who sleeps on the outer side is the most insecure.

Qin Yun, however, said, "I'll sleep outside."

She did not wait for Lian Xue to say more, took the initiative to sleep on the outside. Qin Yun did not dare to look at Lian Xue, and did not dare to sleep too deeply, half asleep, half awake, subconsciously remembering to wait for the middle of the night to find Du Ge.

Du Ge asked her in the afternoon to meet her in the evening, saying he had something to talk to her about tonight, and he didn't know what it was.

Qin Yun has been pursuing Du Ge for two years, and before Du Ge, she had talked to many boyfriends. But there is a drawback to her character, the more she can't get, the more she wants to get, and the more Du Ge ignores him, the more she gets. But Qin Yun is also a person who is prone to having second thoughts. When she saw the owner of the villa earlier, he appeared for a short moment, but it compelled her at once. She originally had a few favorable feelings for the owner, but now that the owner seems to have a lot of doubts, Qin Yun's mind is back on Du Ge.

She was looking forward to meeting Du Ge tonight, but after a day of worrying, even though Qin Yun still remembered in her mind that she was going to see Du Ge in the evening, she still fell asleep without realizing it.

In the middle of the night, Qin Yun suddenly heard a strange "creaking, creaking" sound coming from under the bed.

She didn't want to pay attention to it, but the voice got louder and louder. Qin Yun frowned and opened her eyes, the room was dark.

The sound under the bed continued, as if it was right under Qin Yun's body. The sound was like something alive crawling under the bed, and Qin Yun's remaining sleepiness vanished in an instant as she hurriedly turned around to wake up Lian Xue and Li Xiao.

"Lian Xue, Li Xiao, wake up, there seems to be something dirty in our room ......"

Qin Yun pushed Lian Xue and Li Xiao several times, but they were sleeping heavily and did not respond at all. Qin Yun pushed harder and harder, her wrists were getting sore and she still hadn't woken them up. She finally realized that something was wrong, Qin Yun lowered her head and tried to get closer to the two people with her eyes wide open, and when her face was about to be close to Lian Xue Li Xiao's face, she could see their faces clearly, and Lian Xue and Li Xiao's faces were both pale and greenish, and they looked as if they were dead people!

Qin Yun's breath caught in her throat, and she abruptly took several steps backward, shivering against the head of the bed. The sound under the bed grew louder and louder, Qin Yun could feel the vibration of the bed boards being pushed up against her. She covered her ears, closed her eyes, and clutched the talisman on her body, "I can't see, I can't see anything ......"

Suddenly, her hair was pressed by the person next to her, causing Qin Yun's scalp to ache. Fear mixed with pain, instantly made Qin Yun some emotional collapse, she yelled: "Lian Xue, Li Xiao, you do not press my hair!"

But Qin Yun was confused the next moment.

Lian Xue and Li Xiao are still asleep. Who's crushing her hair?

She gulped and turned her head to see a pair of bloody, severed hands standing over her, hands pressed into her hair.

"Ahhhhhh!"

Qin Yun screamed and fell off the bed as the sharp pain hit her and she got a good look at what was under the bedpan.

Underneath the bed full of clutter, a head and two legs covered in mud crawled below. After noticing Qin Yun's movement, the head and legs were aimed in Qin Yun's direction. With an expression that looked like fear and resentment, the head was looking at Qin Yun with a pair of white eyes.

That's Duane's head.

Qin Yun was chilled to the bone, her arms and legs braced themselves on the ground as she rose, scrambled to her feet and ran outside.

The wooden door slammed open as she ran as fast as she could in her life, and after running far enough, she looked back hastily only to see two legs behind her, also in hot pursuit.

Qin Yun almost cried out, but didn't dare slow down.

What to do, what to do.

She's not going to die.

Where's Jiang Luo? Can she get Jiang Luo to save her?

Why did the talisman Jiang Luo gave her not work at all?

At this moment, Qin Yun also felt a little bit of resentment towards Jiang Luo. But what she resented even more was Duanzi. Why did Duanzi propose to look in the mirror at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night?

If it wasn t for Duanzi, they wouldn t have been dragged into the mirror world ...... Qin Yun Earlier, he had felt very sad about Duanzi s death and had shed a few tears for him, but now there was only quick relief.

If you're dead, you're dead. Why did you come to harm me!

I'm not the one who killed you!

Qin Yun ran all the way to the lake, she was panting and about to run out of energy when she suddenly saw a familiar figure in the darkness in front of her, even though she hadn't seen the person's face yet, Qin Yun instantly recognized who it was, it was Du Ge, who had asked her to meet up with him in the evening!

Qin Yun's eyes erupted with the joy of life as she shouted, "Du Ge, I'm here, come and save me!"

Du Ge pauses for a split second as he looks from side to side, as if discerning where the sound is coming from.

Qin Yun said even louder, "I'm here! Du Ge!"

Du Ge heard Qin Yun's voice and shadow this time, and he raised his steps towards Qin Yun.

Qin Yun was so ecstatic that he didn't notice that a layer of mist had risen at some point during the night.

Mist shrouded the edge of the lake, casting a few old crooked-necked trees in an eerie light.

Qin Yun looked at these rugged tree shadows, footsteps could not help but become slower, she was a little afraid, Du Ge in this moment broke through the mist, came to her.

Du Ge looked at her worriedly, "Qin Yun, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing a familiar person, Qin Yun's fear was instantly dispelled. She ran in front of Du Ge and said in a panic, "Du Ge, Duanzi is here for me!"

"Duanzi?" The puzzlement on Du Ge's face increased.

Seeing that he looked like he didn't believe me, Qin Yun turned around and pointed behind him, "Look, his legs have been chasing me ......"

Her words ended abruptly as she muttered, "Why is it gone?"

Du Ge glanced behind her and asked with a frown, "Qin Yun, are you looking at it wrong?"

"Impossible!" Qin Yun was so excited that he wanted to grab his hand, "There's absolutely no way I could be wrong! Du Ge, believe me, it's really Duanzi who's back!"

Du Ge sensitively avoided her hand, Qin Yun has long been Du Ge avoided accustomed to, she did not feel strange, just nearly begged, "Du Ge, you believe me, I really did not see wrong, what I saw is really not an illusion ...... Duanzi became a ghost, this place is too scary. "

At the end of her sentence, she whimpered.

Du Ge sighed, "I didn't say I didn't believe it, let's talk about it as we go along."

Qin Yun choked back a sob and nodded, taking a few steps around the lake with Du Ge before regaining some composure as she told him exactly what had just happened.

Du Ge mused, "Do you have the talisman on you?"

Qin Yun no longer believed in this talisman at this moment, she pulled out the yellow talisman from her collar, "I brought it. But it didn't help at all, if I hadn't woken up quickly, I might have been dead."

Du Ge looked steadily at the yellow talisman in her hand for a few seconds, "Do you carry it with you all the time?"

"You don't have it with you?" Qin Yun asked strangely, "Didn't Jiang Luo say when he drew the talisman that we should carry it with us? He said that this talisman can drive away evil spirits and avoid them, so I've brought it with me until now."

"I forgot to take it when I came out," Du Ge explained, followed by some hesitation, "Qin Yun, do you think this charm can really ward off evil spirits?"

Qin Yun clutched the talisman tightly, "If it can really drive away evil, why would Duanzi come crawling to me?"

"I came out without a talisman, and nothing happened," Du Ge said, "and nothing happened to anyone else, except you who met this thing ......"

Qin Yun looked at him as if he had a few clues, and urged in his heart without a clue, "Du Ge, what are you trying to say?"

Du Ge whispered, "Do you think that this talisman is not a talisman to exorcise evil spirits, but a talisman to attract ghosts?"

Qin Yun was horrified, "What did you say!"

"I hate to suspect Jiang Luo Lian Xue and the others, but Duan Zi died last night, and you almost died tonight, and it was one of the four of us who were killed in quick succession," Du Ge questioned, "Is this really a coincidence? I didn't bring the talisman with me, but I didn't encounter anything. You brought the talisman and met a ghost instead. I suspect that this talisman is not a talisman to protect us at all, but rather a talisman drawn by Jiang Luo specifically to attract ghosts!"

A chill rose up Qin Yun's spine and she couldn't help but move a little closer to Du Ge, her voice shaking, "But why would he do that?"

Du Ge said with a sullen face, "He might be using us as bait, wanting to lure out the final evil spirit through us."

The more Qin Yun thought about it, the more it made sense. She looked down at the talisman in her hand as if she was looking at a flooding beast. Her face suddenly changed, and she abruptly and hatefully tore the talisman into pieces and threw it into the lake, "I won't let him have his way."

Du Ge looked at the shredded paper floating on the lake and gave a wry smile, "It's safe to ditch the talisman."

Qin Yun did not notice that he was not right, gritted his teeth and said, "Wait for tomorrow, I must ask him about this matter, using us as scapegoats? Big deal, we'll make a fish out of water with him!"

Du Ge walked to her side and finally lifted his hand onto Qin Yun's shoulder and said in a warm voice, "Let's talk about this matter later, let's do something else more important first."

Qin Yun could not help but blush, but said somewhat uncomfortably, "Du Ge, you are so cold."

"Yeah?" Du Ge said, "It's probably cooling off."

A voice suddenly came from their side.

"Qin Yun?"

Qin Yun looked back and saw Jiang Luo walking slowly out of the mist.

Seeing him, Qin Yun's face flashed with caution. Although she had just spoken so harshly, after seeing Jiang Luo, she was a bit afraid of this man who did not know his depths, and she could not help but take a step back, retreating into Du Ge's arms.

Yeah, there's still Du Ge here. Qin Yun mustered up her courage as she glared at Jiang Luo and said in a conspiratorial manner, "Did you see that I didn't die and came here specifically to make up for it?"

"What do you mean?" Jiang Luo frowned, his gaze moving from her face to Du Ge's.

Qin Yun gave a laugh, "We know everything, and you're still pretending?"

Jiang Luo, however, said, "Come over here, the Du Ge behind you is a ghost pretending to be a human being."

Qin Yun frowned, "How can that be!"

She looked back at Du Ge, who looked at Jiang Luo with the same alertness, "Qin Yun, this person must be a ghost who still wants to come and kill you, he specially disguised himself as Jiang Luo to trick us, don't believe his words."

"I know," Qin Yun said, "I wouldn't take his word for it."

The dark-haired young man she rejected was calm, as if Qin Yun's choice had nothing to do with him, as he said lightly in a rippling tone, "Was his arm that embraced your shoulder cold? Is his skin hard as a corpse?"

With every word he spoke, Qin Yun stiffened as she realized with disbelief that Jiang Luo was right.

Du Ge said anxiously, "Qin Yun, don't be mesmerized by the ghost! My skin is cold because I'm underdressed!"

Jiang Luo said, "Then did he encourage you to tear the talisman I gave you? Only after tearing the talisman did he dare to come near you? Because my talisman is extremely lethal to ghosts, if they want to kill you, they will definitely coax you to discard the talisman using various methods, such as illusions, such as coaxing."

Qin Yun was shaken.

She was abruptly chilled all over.

Her neck is like rust slowly turning her head towards Du Ge and suddenly backing up, taking a step away from him.

Du Ge's expression grew progressively harder, and that human face grimaced, looking particularly eerie.

Qin Yun nearly collapsed, she couldn't believe anyone at this point, her feet panicked as she hid behind a tree trunk between the two.

Once she was hiding, Jiang Luo made a seal in front of his body, "Alright, now that there are no more idle hands, let me see if you're the evil spirit we're looking for or not."

"Sundance position, wind."

A cold wind came speeding, Du Ge turned to escape, but in the next instant was instantly torn apart by the blade-like sharpness of the wind.

Qin Yun looked at the scene and let out an "ah", then covered her mouth the next second.

But what made her even more frightened was that the next moment, Du Ge's torn flesh and skin suddenly turned into ice and snow. The snowflakes fluttered with the wind, and when the wind stopped, there was no sign of Du Ge on the ground, only a layer of dirty snow.

Jiang Luo walked to the snow and squatted down, pinched up the snow and rubbed it, and the snowflakes quickly melted into water at his fingertips, "Surprisingly, it is snow ......"

Before the words left his mouth, Jiang Luo's Yu Guang flashed past a dark shadow. He looked sideways and saw a figure clad in a black robe quickly fleeing from behind him.

This figure overlapped with the last image of the beggar before his death, Jiang Luo picked his lips and stood up, "Finally, he came out."

He turned around and went after the dark figure, and Qin Yun, who had been left in place, froze and gave a glance at the snow that had been sucked into the ground by the dirt, winced, and followed suit.

Qin Yun's speed was much slower than Jiang Luo's, and when she found him out of breath, she saw him standing in the middle of a courtyard.

"This is ......" Qin Yun looked around and froze, "the compound of young master Chi family?"

"Sure enough, sure enough it's him, I knew it!" Qin Yun said excitedly, "Jiang Luo, young master Chi family must be the evil spirit we're looking for!"

Jiang Luo didn't say anything but glanced at her, "You should go back."

Qin Yun bit her lip and gave him one last look as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she said nothing and turned her head to leave the place.

Jiang Luo did not have the leisure to pay attention to the stranger's changing emotions. He stood alone for a long time in the darkness of the night, and instead, someone came out of the door of the lighted room.

Chi You smiled and said, "Young Master Jiang doesn't want to go back to bed tonight?"

Jiang Luo paused and raised his steps into the middle of the room.

Chi You didn't ask him what he had gone to do, and Jiang Luo wasn't going to take the initiative to explain. The two of them silently got into bed, each covered with their own quilt, and closed their eyes.

The night passed quickly.

It passed so quickly that Jiang Luo felt as if he had just closed his eyes and then opened them. He opened his eyes and watched Chi You put on her clothes and leave, vaguely feeling that the flow of time in the mirror world seemed to have gotten faster.

Is it an illusion?

Jiang Luo followed and got up.

After breakfast, when he was planning to go out to explore, he heard the whispers of two maids down the corridor.

"I heard there was another death last night."

"Yes, also two more people. One is our mansion's boy named Du Ge, and the other is the night watchman outside. I heard that the night watchman died a horrible death, his head was chopped off and placed on Wanbao Street, but his headless body crawled on the ground, bloody all the way to the front of our residence!"

"Ah ...... why has it been crawling all the way to the front of our mansion ah? No, how can we climb when there's no head?"

"Turned into a ghost," the maid who spoke lowered her voice, "People in Bu Jiucheng are saying that it's because the evil ghost that killed the night watchman is in Chi family! The night watchman is identifying the murderer, and they all say that the evil ghost that was making a lot of noise earlier is someone from Chi family! "

The other maid was horrified, "This ......"

They saw Jiang Luo, and the two of them blanched and hurried away with their heads down.

Jiang Luo watched them disappear and turned on his heel, heading towards the Chi family's shrine.

Chi You usually leave and go to the shrine.

Sure enough, when Jiang Luo arrived at the ancestral hall, he heard the voices of the Chi family elders coming from the ancestral hall.

"You quickly swallow this spiteful ghost."

Swallow?

Jiang Luo got some interest, he went to the window and looked inside the shrine.

In the ancestral hall, Chi You stood in the center, and in front of him sat three elders. In addition to the four of them, there was also a stern ghost with an extremely strong sense of grievance.

The Knight Ghost was wearing a red dowry with a large belly. Her dowry was torn to shreds, and her greenish-white legs were exposed beneath the dowry. Blood continuously snaked down from among her legs, and the stern ghost struggled with its face, frantically roaring continuously in the circle surrounded by talismans.

This turned out to be a pregnant wedding ghost.

When a woman dies on a big day, her grievances will be exponentially stronger. Wearing red clothes again, there is a great chance that she will transform into a severe ghost.

And while it was clearly a ghost of a newlywed who had died, this one had a big belly, clearly the worst of the worst of the worst, and the resentment in his body was so thick that it was about to burst out of the shrine.

If Jiang Luo met this kind of ghost, he would basically just run away cleanly.

The three Clan Elders looked at the red-clothed female ghost with an expression of hidden fear, and they urged even louder, "Quickly use your ghost tattoos to swallow her!"

Chi You quietly glanced at the stern ghost and said flatly, "Her power is too strong, it will make my ghost pattern backfire too much, I won't swallow it."
