Chapter 035
Maybe Ding Ding couldn't stand being stared at by Lin Tian and me, so he curled his lips and said, "What are you two looking at? Go play somewhere else and don't disturb me here."
Lin Tian smiled and said that the little charlatan could also draw talismans.
I laughed along, but Ding Ding was not happy and rushed over to chase us out. Lin Tian and I couldn't get over him, and after looking at the dried blood on our bodies, we went to find some water to take a shower.
By the time we cleaned off the dirt on our bodies, Ding Ding was also ready.
Lin Tian and I turned in and saw that not only the table but even the ground was covered with runes drawn by Ding Ding.
Lin Tian was about to make a joke, but Ding Ding seemed to have known that he would talk. He glared at him fiercely and swallowed Lin Tian's words back.
We chatted for a few minutes and then had nothing more to say.
I was somewhat anxious and just hoped that it would get dark sooner.
Finally, it was night and it was completely dark. Lin Tian was too tired at night, so he slept for a while and didn't come out of the room until the alarm clock rang at twelve o'clock.
The weather was gloomy and a little chilly, which was not at all like the weather in July.
We waited in the room, no one spoke, the atmosphere was a bit depressing, until Ding Ding suddenly lit a stick of incense and said, "It's almost done."
Lin Tian and I immediately became alert and looked towards him.
Tintin walked out of the room with the lit incense and came under the human-faced tree. He stared blankly at the bare branches, then squatted down and pointed the incense in his hand at the red rope. There was a whoosh sound, and the wind came from nowhere, making the door creak.
Lin Tian and I were both startled and quickly reached out to steady the doors and windows, but the red rope in front of Ding Ding was not burned by the flames, but instead caught fire. One section after another, the human-faced tree was surrounded by this fire rope!
Then Ding Ding came running over quickly. I was stunned for a moment and said, "Is that the end?"
Ding Ding said, "Yes, what else do you want? Do you think there will be some colorful lights flying up? Didn't you see that the shadow girl is back?"
I looked down and realized that at some point the woman's shadow had reappeared under my feet, illuminated by the fire outside the house, flickering and looking a little eerie.
I didn't care about her and just said, time is running out, let's start quickly.
Ding Ding nodded, turned around and walked behind the table.
He lit the candle on the table , with all of my mother's things in the center. I watched him intently, my heart choking with nervousness.
But he suddenly said "Huh" and asked me where Lin Tian was.
I pointed towards the door and said, "Isn't it right here?"
But when I turned around, I couldn't see Lin Tian anymore. All my attention was on Ding Ding, and I didn't notice him for a moment, and he disappeared!
I was just worried that something might have happened to him again. I opened my mouth to scream when I suddenly heard a loud bang from upstairs.
Ding Ding frowned and said he was on top!
I took two steps at a time and rushed straight up the stairs. When I turned the corner, I just saw Lin Tian climb up the ladder, enter the attic, and was turning around to put the ladder back into the attic.
I was shocked and shouted, "Lin Tian, what are you doing?"
But he didn't answer me, he just raised his head and suddenly gave me a weird smile! That kind of expression would never appear on his face normally!
I felt a chill in my heart, as if I had seen this look somewhere before. But then I thought again, and my heart suddenly lifted. His expression was exactly the same as in my dream.
At the moment I was stunned, Lin Tian had already taken the ladder into the attic. He turned around and disappeared into the darkness.
I ran over in a hurry, and kept calling his name, but he never answered. I could only hear some rustling sounds coming from the attic, and I had no idea what he was doing!
I was anxious to find something to stand on to climb up to the attic, but there was no furniture of that height around. Ding Ding's voice came from downstairs, sounding very urgent, asking me, Tan Xi, what are you doing? We don't have much time!
I didn't have time to answer him and was anxiously looking for something to stand on!
At this moment, I suddenly heard a rumble in the attic. I was startled and looked up at the dark entrance. I had an idea in my mind, but I hoped it was not true!
Lin Tian might have opened the coffin again!
Immediately afterwards, I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around and saw Ding Ding also running up. Before he reached me, he asked anxiously, "What happened?"
I shook my head, still not sure.
Ding Ding said you hold me and take me up to see!
This was the only way, I held Ding Ding's legs and pushed him up to the attic. But Ding Ding's head could only reach the attic entrance. He held the edge of the attic tightly with both hands and was about to look inside when a face suddenly appeared from the dark entrance!
Ding Ding was startled and hurriedly pushed back with both hands. I also lost my balance below and both of us fell straight to the ground. It hurt so much that I could hardly stand. Ding Ding was also groaning in pain.
I took a deep breath and looked up towards the attic, only to see that face becoming clearer and clearer. It was actually Lin Tian!
His eyes were wide open, but his expression was completely dull, as if he had been frightened. He didn't react at all, and his body slid straight down from the attic!
I quickly got up and caught it, then fell to the ground again while holding Lin Tian, thus preventing his head from hitting the ground directly.
I reached out and patted his face, but seeing that his eyes were dull and he still had no reaction, my heart immediately rose and I hurriedly yelled at Ding Ding!
But Ding Ding didn't respond to me. He lay on the ground, looking at the attic in fear, and retreated little by little. He shouted in panic, "Lin Tian has uncovered the runes on the ghost mound! They are out! They are out!"
After saying that, Ding Ding hurriedly got up from the ground and ran downstairs, staggering every few steps.
I had never seen him so panicked, but I knew something was wrong. However, Lin Tian was completely unable to move, so I could only endure the pain in my body, carry him on my back, and hurried to chase Ding Ding!
When I got downstairs, Ding Ding had already run to the human-faced tree and kicked the red ropes on the ground. The red ropes lost their formation and went out immediately!
But Tintin had not yet recovered from his panic. He looked at the dark attic in horror and suddenly said to himself, why is it useless? The suppression of the human-faced tree is gone, why doesn't it attract those ghosts!
I ran towards him and saw that he was talking incoherently, so I shouted in his ear!
Ding Ding was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses. He looked at me with tears in his eyes and said, Tan Xi, we are finished!
Unlike Tintin, I don’t know how dangerous the current situation is, but I know that the more dangerous it is, the more we must not panic!
I hurriedly comforted him and said, don’t worry, let’s leave here first and escape first!
Ding Ding stood there without moving. I freed one hand and pulled him, and then he followed me out the door.
But as soon as I walked out of the house, I felt as if I had walked into another world!
The street outside the door was filled with thick fog. Green flames were lighting up along the street, making the whole world gloomy!
And on that endless street, there were so many ghosts wandering around that I could n't even count them.
Tintin looked at the scene in front of him, raised his hands tremblingly, and there was unspeakable fear in his voice!
He said this place has become a ghost town!
He pointed at the ghosts in front of him with one hand and held my sleeve tightly with the other hand. After taking a deep breath, he stammered, "Tan Xi, look, hundreds of ghosts are walking around at night!"
I vaguely heard the sound of a horn coming from the distant fog, and even the sound of thunderous drums, but I couldn't see clearly where the music was being played.
But the sound came closer and closer, getting louder and louder, making my heart beat along with the drumbeats.
The countless ghosts on the street suddenly moved and slowly walked towards where we were.
I took a step back in panic and heard Ding Ding say in fear, "They are coming!"
I had never seen such a scene before, and I was stunned for a moment! Then I heard Ding Ding yelling, "Tan Xi, run! What are you doing standing there?"
I turned around and saw that Ding Ding had already run away! He had reached the bridge outside the old house and kept shouting at me.
Only then did I come to my senses, carry Lin Tian tighter on my back, and hurriedly chase after Ding Ding.
But just as we crossed the bridge, the scene in front of us suddenly changed. We took a step forward and the person appeared at the door of the old house again.
We were running so fast that we didn't notice the situation for a while. It wasn't until I ran to the bridge again that I realized what was happening and stopped in a hurry. But Ding Ding had already rushed out and his figure suddenly disappeared from my sight.
I turned around in a hurry, but saw Ding Ding standing at the door of the old house and appeared behind me.
Ding Ding's eyes met mine, he was stunned for a moment, and then said that we were stuck in a maze!
I have heard a lot about the saying of ghost wall, which means being blocked by ghosts and going around in circles in the same place. Seeing the hundreds of ghosts behind me getting closer and closer, I became more and more anxious and shouted to Ding Ding, what should I do.
Ding Ding didn't answer. His forehead was already covered with sweat. He quickly stretched out his finger and bit it in his mouth!
I saw his brows furrowed, and his fingers were covered in blood. According to Tintin's personality, he would never do such a thing as bleeding himself. He would rather bite me than get hurt.
But now he didn't hesitate at all, and this look made me feel even more fearful!
Tintin drew an arrow on the ground with his bleeding finger , muttered something, shouted "Make way", then stood up and ran towards me.
But before he could run three steps, countless eyes suddenly appeared on the wall of the old house, covering the entire wall, blinking and looking at him!
Before I could shout, countless arms suddenly grew out from the ground under Tintin's feet. Each one was iron-gray, like a jungle of arms!
Those hands reached out to grab Ding Ding's feet. I only heard him groan, and then he fell forward, swallowed by the arms on the ground. His body was constantly torn apart, and Ding Ding screamed in pain!
