Chapter 259 I'm super fierce after I die
The old locust tree in front of the villa swayed in the wind, as if inviting outsiders to come in.
Behind the locust tree is a high-ceilinged foyer and round arched windows, with white plaster walls, light red roof tiles, and continuous arches and corridors. The whole villa looks unconventional.
Although it looks a bit old, at least the owner has good taste.
Just as Xu Ercong was looking around the villa, he suddenly heard a sharp "squeak", as if it was the sound of the floor being rubbed, very light, but he heard it clearly.
The voice came from somewhere on the second floor of the villa, and Xu Ercong looked over in the direction of the sound.
One of the windows of the villa was half open, and a red coat was hanging on the hanger and fluttering in the wind, looking like a beautiful woman slowly swaying her proud figure.
Just when Xu Ercong was about to look away, the window was blown open a little by the wind, and the red coat was blown around by the wind, slowly revealing the other side of the red coat.
The collar of the red coat was half open, and a frighteningly pale and thin arm suddenly stretched out from the collar!
"Um?"
Xu Ercong was stunned and stared at the window carefully.
Five fingers thinner than chopsticks tightly grasped the collar of the red coat, as if something terrible was about to crawl out from it.
This arm looks like it is covered with foundation, pale and weird, with black nails. It exudes a weird and scary smell from the inside out, it is definitely not a human arm!
"Gah."
The flash light came on and Xu Ercong put down his phone.
He looked down and saw that there was nothing in the photo he had just taken, not even the red coat. There was only a half-open window of the villa, and it was pitch black inside.
Xu Ercong looked up at the second floor of the villa again. He could still see the red coat at the window. It had been blown back by the wind, with its back facing Xu Ercong. The pale and terrifying ghost hand could no longer be seen.
"Are all ghosts so arrogant nowadays?"
Xu Ercong touched his nose and said, "I haven't even entered yet and it's already come out to scare me."
Even though I was very hungry, I still had to find a way to complete the mission. I couldn't just switch to a soul fragment mission just because this one looked difficult.
This is not Xu Ercong's character!
The most important thing is that he really doesn't have the strength to go to the next mission location. He is too hungry and too tired.
“Squeak.”
The door of the villa suddenly opened automatically without any wind. The magnificent door was filled with endless darkness, and nothing could be seen clearly. The half-open door seemed like the mouth of an evil beast, waiting for innocent people to fall into its trap. It also seemed to be greeting Xu Ercong, inviting him to come in.
Xu Ercong sat next to the villa and did not go in immediately. Instead, he began to search with his mobile phone, connecting to the network of this world to look for relevant information about the villa.
"The villa at No. 111 Xiangzhang Road..."
Xu Ercong searched for half an hour and it was already completely dark, but he also got some gossip and official information about this world.
Obviously, people have died in this villa, and more than one person has died there, so much so that the villa has not been sold yet. It is a famous haunted house tourist attraction in the local area.
However, half a year ago, after the bodies of several young ghost explorers were found not far outside the villa, no one dared to come here anymore.
There are a lot of news about the Xiangzhang Road Villa. Most of the news or folk information revolves around a red dress. It is said that if you see someone wearing red clothes near the villa at night, you should be careful.
The information seemed to be serious, the information was complete, and the chain of evidence was sufficient, allowing Xu Ercong to roughly grasp the key information of the villa.
What surprised Xu Ercong the most was that among the several pieces of information he found when he searched deeper, there were posts by people claiming to be villa explorers and Taoist priests.
Only by taking off the red coat of the red ghost can its soul be scared away and it will no longer harm people. It's a pity that no one can do this.
Some of the dead did not even have the chance to get close to the Red Ghost, and were killed before they even saw the Red Ghost's true face.
"The one wearing red clothes is a ghost. Only by taking off its red clothes can its resentment be dissipated."
Xu Ercong remembered the information and then took a look at the villa.
"Don't worry! I will definitely go in!"
Xu Ercong shouted, then opened his suitcase and found a red shirt and a pair of red jeans, but unfortunately no red shoes.
After changing his clothes, Xu Ercong looked at himself and said, "I feel a bit showy."
This may not be useful, but Xu Ercong does not want to miss any details that can be used. After all, he does not know how ghosts recognize humans. What if they recognize humans through clothes?
Well, it sounds ridiculous. Maybe you can comfort yourself by thinking that you will be very fierce even if you die after wearing the red clothes, and then threaten the ghost: "Don't kill me, I will be very fierce after I die, and I will fight you to the death!"
Xu Ercong didn't know why he suddenly changed into red clothes. He tilted his head and thought about it, sorted out his thoughts, and then stepped into the red area of the villa.
…
[Dear players, personal missions are officially open! ]
[Please find your soul fragment and obtain it successfully! When you get close to the soul fragment, there will be relevant task prompt information! ]
"I am coming!"
Xu Ercong shouted, pushed the door open, turned on the flashlight, walked into the gate of the villa and entered the darkness.
The darkness in this villa is normal, unlike the darkness in the passage of Tiandi Bank which cannot be dispelled by light. When the flashlight is shone over there, the place where the light is can be seen clearly.
Nothing unusual was found, and no evil ghost suddenly appeared to scare Xu Ercong.
Xu Ercong roughly checked the surroundings with a flashlight, then found the light switch of the villa and turned on the light in the villa's hall.
“Pah.”
The warm orange light shone down, but the voltage seemed a little unstable, flickering and swaying, and a few lights were never on. Some corners of the villa were still shrouded in endless darkness.
"no one there?"
Xu Ercong shouted softly, then paused and asked, "No ghosts either?"
There was no response at all. Apart from his own echo, Xu Ercong could not detect anything unusual.
Go to the second floor first?
Xu Ercong interrupted this thought. What if the ghost was hiding on the first floor?
It is better to search carefully first. If you can find your soul fragments in advance, wouldn’t it be great if you can leave the villa with the soul fragments?
Xu Ercong began to check the first floor of the villa.
The first floor mainly consists of a hall, kitchen, bathroom and two guest rooms.
The guest room was locked and could not be opened. Shining a flashlight through the window outside the room did not reveal anything unusual. Everything in the room was normal, at least on the surface.
The bathroom was also locked, and Xu Ercong mainly checked the hall and kitchen.
There were many furnishings in the hall , and it looked like a wealthy home. The sofas were very soft, and Xu Ercong even lifted up the sofa cushions to check for any key information or clues.
No, everything is fine.
kitchen.
Xu Ercong pushed open the door and turned on the light.
“Pah.”
Under the light, Xu Ercong could see the kitchen and dining room clearly, and he stopped.
An old man in a red coat sat at one end of the kitchen dining table with his back to Xu Ercong. Opposite him was a little boy with a reserved and even frightened expression on his face.
This little boy is also wearing red clothes.
"Two ghosts?"
Xu Ercong frowned slightly and his heart skipped a beat.
All the information in the personal task, including the information Xu Ercong found himself, did not clearly state that there was only one red ghost in the villa, so it is possible that there are indeed two red ghosts in the villa area.
It’s just that Xu Ercong had preconceived ideas and didn’t consider this aspect.
The atmosphere in the restaurant was a bit weird. Xu Ercong pushed the door open and walked in. No one spoke. The old man seemed to be dead, sitting at the table motionless. He didn't turn around or speak a word.
Only the little boy in red raised his head, secretly glanced at Xu Ercong, then quickly retracted his gaze, looked at the old man opposite with fear and horror, then quickly lowered his head and stared at the food in front of him.
Yes, food!
The table is full of delicious food!
Beef in sour soup with lily bulbs, stir-fried young rooster with millet peppers, tofu with crab roe, mouth-watering chicken, braised lion's head... Many dishes that Xu Ercong knew and didn't know were placed on the table, and the wonderful aroma of food kept rushing into his nostrils.
"hiss."
Xu Ercong took a deep breath and his stomach made a "gurgling, gurgling" sound.
The problem now has become very serious.
