Chapter 063
I stood in the darkness and looked towards Lu Yao at the door. The light from the corridor illuminated her place, and I could clearly see her worried eyes. Even the landlord and a few others who poked their heads out of the next room had the same worried look on their faces. They all looked solemn and looked at me nervously.
I guess my expression right now is not much better than theirs. I was surrounded by these ghosts, so nervous that I couldn't . I wanted to run away, but my hands and feet felt so stiff that I stood there and dared not move.
I didn't know what was in the darkness, but from time to time, something cold would touch me, like a hand, or a body passing by me.
Lu Yao clasped her hands in front of her chest. She didn't dare to come in, so she could only ask, "Tan Xi, is everything okay in there?"
I was about to open my mouth to respond to her, when I suddenly felt a weight on my shoulders, and immediately two hands reached out to me and grabbed my neck tightly! The feeling of suffocation suddenly surged up again, and I hurriedly reached out to pry his hands away.
But no matter how hard I tried, that hand seemed to be welded to my neck, with no sign of letting up!
Seeing my strange look, Lu Yao became even more panicked and asked anxiously, "Tan Xi, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"
I was speechless and my head was getting more and more dizzy. I was almost strangled to death by this hand.
It seems that the more nervous a person is, the shorter the time they can hold their breath. My face was burning, as if the blood in my head was about to be squeezed out, and I felt an unbearable pain.
I felt that I was too reckless. I had only intended to come in to check the situation, but this room was many times more dangerous than I thought. I was barely holding on to my last bit of rationality, and my hands kept groping in my trouser pockets, trying to find the knife out of habit. But then I remembered that I hadn't worn the knife for a long time.
I was anxious and kicked the ground hard, trying to kick away the ghosts around me. However, the more I struggled, the closer these ghosts came. A feeling of oppression suddenly came from all directions.
And I don’t know where the stench came from, but it suddenly surged up and choked me so much that I couldn’t even try to breathe.
My hand was still groping in my trouser pocket, and suddenly I touched the lighter for lighting a cigarette. A glimmer of hope suddenly ignited in my heart. I could throw away anything, but I had to keep the lighter.
I exerted force on my hand and with a snap, the lighter lit up. A red flame suddenly appeared in front of my eyes. Although it was very small, it illuminated the surroundings in an instant!
I immediately saw a group of iron-gray, distorted and terrifying faces surrounding me!
Some of them had abnormal body shapes, some were tall, some were short, and some even had only a face. Their bodies were like smoke, but they all had sinister smiles on their faces as they circled around me!
This scene was extremely horrifying, but as a dying man, I had no time to look at them. I took the lighter and burned the arm around my neck.
I don't know if this will work. But this is my only option. I don't even care if the flame will burn me, I just thrust it hard towards my neck!
Fortunately, when I was burned by the flames, I suddenly heard a woman's shrill scream behind me!
This sound pierced my eardrums, and it sounded extremely terrifying in this originally quiet environment! My brows immediately knitted together, and through the corner of my eyes, I found that even Lu Yao and the landlord and his group had heard it. Everyone's face suddenly turned pale, and then they screamed and ran downstairs.
As long as Lu Yao was still standing at the door, she seemed very worried about my current condition and wanted to rush in and take me away, but she was very scared, so she hesitated at the door.
But as the hand was heated by the fire, it shrank back in an instant. I struggled to free myself, bent over and took two deep breaths, and then I came to my senses. I immediately looked back and saw a woman with black hair down to her waist. She was naked and her hair was gray. If I saw this kind of scene normally, I would probably be happy, but now the only feeling I had was that I wanted to vomit.
The burnt area on the woman's elbow seemed to never go out. It began to expand little by little, eroding her skin. But what concerned me the most was that her body had almost begun to rot. I could even see maggots popping out from under her skin.
If I hadn't held it in, I would have vomited all over the floor due to the lack of oxygen just now.
I didn't care about her and turned around to run out, but the faces around me were still around me. The scene just now seemed to have no effect on them. They continued to walk around me with that kind of smile that made people's hearts cold. It was like the weird ritual of my grandmother on TV. It was extremely scary.
I tried hard to get through them and escape from here, but when I ran forward, I felt that this ghost figure was like a wall. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't break through.
Moreover, from time to time, there were faces coming up to me and blowing in my ears. In just one breath, I got goose bumps all over my body and even felt a little dizzy, as if all the strength in my body was drained by their blowing!
My legs went weak and I immediately fell to the ground. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't stand up.
Seeing this, Lu Yao gritted his teeth, suddenly ran towards me, called my name and asked what was wrong!
Almost at the moment her voice came out, all the ghost faces around me turned their heads and looked at her in unison, but Lu Yao couldn't see them. Apart from some fear and worry, she had no idea how complicated the current situation was!
Those ghosts suddenly made way for me, as if a door had suddenly opened, without even stopping Lu Yao, allowing her to come directly to my side.
I was shocked, it was strange, but when Lu Yao came to me, I realized that the gap left by the ghosts was quickly closed after Lu Yao came in, and there was a little smile on their faces in the weird expressions. It seemed that they were very happy that there was another stranger here.
Lu Yao came to my side and reached out her hand to help me up, but my body felt weak, as if I had no bones. No matter how she supported me, I couldn't stand up.
Her face became more and more anxious. "Tan Xi, what are you doing? Get up!"
I was in so much pain right now, watching the faces around me approaching Lu Yao. I wanted to pull her, but my hands were too weak to move. It was even difficult to speak. I could only keep trying to warn her to be careful, but it was so dark around me that Lu Yao couldn't see the expression on my face at all. I was almost dying of anxiety.
The face moved closer to Lu Yao's ear. I saw him open his mouth, revealing his uneven teeth. He was about to blow air, but at that moment Lu Yao suddenly squatted down and was not blown away.
The ghost face was obviously stunned, and even I was stunned. Damn, this luck is so good!
Lu Yao squatted in front of me, with his back to me, and said, Tan Xi, come up, I will carry you out!
I thought I had heard wrongly. My weight would crush you to death! But for some reason, I felt warm in my heart and thought this girl was really kind and righteous.
But my hands and feet were still unable to move. Lu Yao seemed to have noticed my situation and quickly pulled my hands, put them around her shoulders, and was about to drag me up by force.
But those ghost faces were already close to her, and before Lu Yao could exert any force, I heard a whoosh sound, and a strange face went around her head and blew a breath towards her ear.
Lu Yao's body relaxed slightly, but suddenly he lost his balance and collapsed right into my arms.
She looked at me with horror, wanting to say something, but couldn't. I didn't dare look at her at all, thinking that we had made peace today, and I would apologize to her when I died.
The ghost faces that were circling around us were getting happier and faster, coming closer and closer, blowing air into our ears continuously.
I even lost feeling in my limbs, except for my head. I now understood that after I died, my body might become as floating as these ghosts, leaving behind a face, and then joining them in blowing air and playing.
I closed my eyes and waited for death, but just when we were in despair, I suddenly heard a sound of shattering coming from the window, with a very loud bang. I quickly looked and found that all the glass in the window was shattered. I didn't know what it was , but it brushed past my chest and then stopped on the wall with a bang.
Those ghost shadows suddenly twisted, their mouths opened wide, and they seemed to be in pain, but there was no sound. After a while, they all suddenly disappeared.
My body shook violently, and all the strength in my body seemed to come back at once. I turned around and saw that the ghosts in the room had suddenly disappeared. I pushed Lu Yao and asked her if she was okay.
Lu Yao seemed to have just woken up from a dream. It took him a long time to come back to his senses and said, " It's okay ..."
I quickly got up and turned on the light. The room was bright, but it was clean and empty.
The window was indeed broken, and it was all broken into pieces. I looked at the wall based on what I had just seen, and suddenly I found that the thing that had brushed past my chest was actually an arrow, and it had already been inserted into the wall.
I was extremely curious, and it took me a lot of effort to pull the arrow out of the wall. I looked out the window, but it was pitch black outside and I had no idea who shot the arrow.
Lu Yao was also very curious. She took the arrow from my hand, took a look at it, and suddenly said, "There are words written on it. It seems that it was carved later."
When I heard that, I hurriedly took it from her and took a closer look. Sure enough, there was a piece of small words carved crookedly on the arrow. But when I saw it clearly, I suddenly became excited. It was engraved with, " For special use by ghost hunter Tintin!"
