Chapter 90: Ghost Festival (Part 2)
The child put his whole head into the brazier, but strangely, it didn't get burned at all. He still opened his mouth and wolfed down the candle.
Soon, the other children joined him, lying on the ground, putting their heads in the brazier, and like starving wolfhounds, they began to eat the candles, raw meat and other offerings inside.
Seeing this unbelievable scene, my head buzzed and went blank. My legs were shaking and I looked at them in horror.
At this moment, one of the children suddenly raised his head and faced me.
I have never seen such a white face, as if it was covered with powder, but the lips were dark purple, and the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes extended to the sides of the nose, making it look extremely hideous.
He suddenly grinned and chuckled at me.
That laugh was indescribably eerie and cold...
My hair stood on end and I turned around and ran back to Building D.
After closing the door, I leaned against it, my heart still pounding and I was still in shock.
What are those kids?
Is this the evil spirit from Ghost Festival?
After a long time, I finally looked outside with trembling hands.
Nothing.
The kids were gone.
Except for the still burning brazier, everything that just happened seemed like an illusion.
I rubbed my eyes to make sure there was nothing.
“Aaaaaaaaa——”
At this moment, the long-lost cry of a baby echoed in the corridor.
I shuddered.
Damn, I knew it would come out to join in the fun during this kind of festival!
Whenever a baby cries, something big is bound to happen in Building D!
I stood there, looking conflicted, wondering whether I should go up or not.
Finally, I decided to go up and take a look.
After all, I am the night watchman, and the lives of the patients in Building D are almost entrusted to me. If I don’t go to hell, who will?
I went to the fourth floor and the crying sound became clearer - obviously, it came from room 404.
I don’t know if it’s my illusion, but the dark red door of 404 looks even brighter red tonight, as if it were covered in blood, revealing a bloody smell.
I hesitated, walked to the door and tried knocking.
Boom boom boom!
The crying stopped abruptly.
Before I could even breathe a sigh of relief, there was a sudden "knock knock knock" sound from the door.
It was as if something inside was responding to me!
My face changed and I instinctively took a few steps back.
Boom boom boom!
Boom boom boom!
The knocking continued, one after another, as if there were many people inside, knocking at the door at the same time ...
At this time, I noticed that the Bagua bronze mirror hanging on the door of 404 was emitting a green light.
I thought I was seeing things, or it was a reflection problem, but when I looked closely, I saw that there was indeed a light flickering on the Bagua bronze mirror.
I have patrolled 404 countless times before, and have never seen anything like this, so I couldn’t help but feel curious.
Miraculously, the light on the Bagua bronze mirror lit up...the crying of the baby and the knocking on the door all disappeared.
And, it never appeared again.
I was secretly surprised, thinking that this mirror must have been left by some master, it was really amazing.
If there wasn't this mirror, I'm afraid the dirt in 404 would have escaped from it long ago, right?
Not daring to stay any longer, I hurriedly left the 4th floor.
After returning to the lounge, I turned on the faucet and poured cold water on my face for a long time. Looking at myself in the mirror, I smiled bitterly and said, "Tian Zhiyong, Tian Zhiyong, no matter what, I must make it through tonight."
I looked at the time and it was still a few minutes before two o'clock.
According to the usual rules, Building D was at its most bizarre at 2 a.m., and even the toilet could not be used...
I turned on the TV and sat down on the sofa, ready to stay up all night and watch TV.
On the screen, the La Liga football match was playing, with Real Madrid playing against Barcelona.
I had no interest in the game, so I picked up the remote and changed the channel.
However, I don’t know if the remote control is broken or what, no matter how I change the channel, it’s always CCTV5.
"Damn, this TV is broken!"
I cursed, but I had a bad feeling in my heart.
"The vast ocean laughs, the tide surges on both sides, I rise and fall with the waves, just remember today, the sky laughs..."
Just then, the cell phone on the table rang.
I picked it up and saw that it was an unknown phone number - it was filled with dense, garbled characters.
I was suddenly shocked.
No way, could it be Brother Liu?
I swallowed and pressed the answer button.
"Hello...Hello?"
My voice is trembling.
"Zhiyong, thank you for the wine..."
Liu Bin's hoarse voice came from the phone.
It’s indeed him!
My heart suddenly tightened.
Although I know Liu Bin will not harm me, I am still extremely nervous at this moment.
"No, you're welcome. What's the relationship between us? Liu...Brother Liu, if you like it, I'll give you another bottle." I said hurriedly.
"Okay, but...can you let me watch the game for a while?" Liu Bin said gloomily.
Watching a football game?
Okay, now I understand. No wonder changing the channel doesn’t work. It turns out that Liu Bin is the one causing trouble.
Shit, he's not going to sit next to me, is he?
I glanced at the empty sofa next to me and my scalp went numb.
"Brother, I'll give you another bottle of wine. You should go back and rest early..." I said with a sad face.
"good……"
Beep, beep, beep…
The phone was hung up.
I didn't dare stay any longer, so I quickly took a bottle of unopened white wine and walked outside.
Whoosh whoosh——
A gust of cold wind blew, and the body, which had just warmed up a little, immediately became chilly.
The braziers placed outside the door had all gone out, and the air was filled with a burnt smell.
"Brother Liu, this is my gift to you. Drink it and leave. We are humans and ghosts, so don't come out to scare me."
I opened the bottle cap and sprinkled it all over the floor.
"Thanks."
A voice suddenly sounded behind me.
I was so scared that I almost jumped up. I turned around and saw that it was Liu Bin.
He stood in the darkness, expressionless, his face looked as if it had been covered with lime, without a trace of blood.
I was about to cry: "Liu, Brother Liu, I told you not to come out, you, you still——"
"No, they want to see you."
Liu Bin said numbly.
them?
"Come out, Zhiyong is here." Liu Bin said.
It was only then that I realized that there was more than just Liu Bin around! !
In the darkness, seven or eight "people" surrounded me.
My eyes widened and a shudder ran through my body.
Because their faces are so familiar to me...
Jia Jia, the fat doctor, Lao Zhang, the old man, and a few unfamiliar men wearing the same black work clothes as me .
If I'm not mistaken, they should be the Night's Watchmen who once died?
"Uncle Tian, play ball with me, hehehe..."
"Zhiyong, my neck hurts, can you give me some medicine..."
"It's time for the injection, come here..."
"Boy, if you take our seat, you're dead!"
The friendly look they had when they were alive was gone from their faces - they had become hideous and ferocious!
They were like a group of jackals, tigers and leopards, full of cruelty, as if they wanted to cut me into pieces.
"No, no! Don't come over here!"
As I watched him getting closer and closer to me, I yelled helplessly, my heart filled with despair and grief.
It’s hard to accept that these former “friends” are now trying to harm me.
Could it be that... after a person becomes a ghost, his nature will also become evil?
D's door closed automatically at some point.
And they are getting closer and closer to me...
I have no way back...
At this moment, the sound of suona suddenly came from a certain direction.
The sound was desolate and long, and at the same time it carried a creepy tremor, coming from the cold air. It was extremely penetrating and made people feel uneasy...
The temperature dropped suddenly!
The temperature was normal just now, but now it feels like winter has arrived and my bones are shaking with cold.
Apparently, something more sinister is coming...
