Chapter 1390: Possessed
"You're lying!" Jiang Cheng picked up the crying man and stared into his eyes, "You haven't even seen the lady, how could you recognize the maid next to her?"
"I...although I have never seen Madam, I have seen Madam's painting. In Madam's painting, there is this maid accompanying her. I remember it very clearly. The man was trembling, and it didn't look like he was telling lies.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Cheng took the Bagua Mirror from the reluctant Tang Qisheng, put it on his hand a few times, it was relatively heavy, and the texture was extraordinary, and returned the Bagua Mirror to the man, "Is this thing really effective? Take it with you. If it walks around in this haunted house, nothing will happen?"
"This...should be fine. After all, I haven't been here a few times, and it was all during the day before, but holding this thing makes me feel at ease." The man took the Bagua Mirror, held it carefully in his hand after checking it, and continued He breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, I want you to take us for a walk around this house. Two of our friends are missing. They must be lost." Jiang Cheng said to the man naturally.
After hearing this, the man's expression suddenly changed from calm to calm. Why was he lost? Didn't he just say that he was taken away by a ghost? How come you changed your story so quickly?
But looking at everyone's unkind eyes, the man swallowed secretly. He knew that if he didn't agree today, he might not be able to keep the Bagua Mirror.
And without this Bagua mirror, he really didn't dare to walk alone in this ghost house, otherwise he would encounter the ghost maid from before.
Finally, with a hard heart, the man nodded, "Okay, I'll take you away, but I won't stay for too long, just one stick of incense. If I can't find anyone after one stick of incense, you have to let me go."
"No problem." Jiang Cheng nodded.
"It's a deal," Tang Qisheng said.
Although he said that, if he didn't find anyone by then, it would be up to him. Either they would stay, or the Bagua Mirror would be left behind. In short, if Fatty and the others couldn't be found before dawn at the latest, then the two of them would have to leave. People are prone to misfortune and misfortune.
Finally, after a brief discussion, Lu Qin, Shaotong and Jiangcheng Li Bai went together. Zhang Qizheng was originally planning to go with them to find someone, but Jiang Cheng hinted that he would stay. After all, he did not rule out the possibility of Fatty and Yao and Shunyu being found by themselves. They needed to stay. The next reliable person to support.
The man walked at the front, and under Jiang Cheng's command, the group quickly rushed to the place where the fat man and his group last disappeared. I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but after there were more people, the chill that was weighing on Jiang Cheng's heart was dissipated a lot.
The area of this villa was larger than expected. After turning several corners in succession, I still found nothing. There were occasional people who dared to come here during the day, but once night fell, it was a forbidden area for the entire Marquis Mansion.
The man who was walking at the front with a lantern stopped and refused to leave, saying, "It's almost there. Don't... don't go any further. I haven't been there either. According to our agreement, I have to leave." Yes, Mr. Hou... Mr. Hou is still waiting for my reply.
Li Bai was scanning the area with unwilling eyes. Suddenly, Shao Tong screamed without warning, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
"What is that?" Under the light of the lantern, Shao Tong's eyes were surprisingly bright. He was staring at a fork in the road about 10 meters ahead. It looked very desolate.
After everyone walked over, Jiang Cheng discovered that there were shoe prints on the ground. The shoe prints were wet. It was obvious that someone had just passed by recently, and from the outline and pattern on them, Jiang Cheng was sure that this person was the fat man.
There were also sparse water stains between the shoe prints. The fat man was dripping water while walking. This situation meant that the fat man's whole body was soaked.
"Is there a lake or something like a pool in this Yin Mansion?" Jiang Cheng asked.
Looking at these wet shoe prints, the man felt guilty, "No, I haven't heard of it."
"We should be in the front yard. There is no front yard. What about the backyard? Even if it is a shady house, there should be a backyard." Jiang Cheng looked at the man, obviously waiting for his answer.
"There is no backyard either. Although I have never been to the backyard, I have heard people say that it is very remote. For some reason, almost nothing has been built. It is just a large wasteland covered with weeds and no one is around. Tube."
Jiang Cheng stared at the direction where the fat man's shoe prints extended, and took a deep breath, "Where does this direction... lead to?"
"It seems... it seems to be the direction of the backyard." A gust of cold wind blew by, and the man couldn't help but shiver. He began to regret why he had done such a bad job, but now it was too late to say anything.
Everyone followed the footprints to look for them. Everyone was tensed to the extreme. Their eyes were scanning the surroundings. What was waiting for them was probably a cold corpse, or... something much scarier than a corpse.
After walking an unknown distance, everyone came to a secluded place. The walls here were covered with ivy, and some wooden structures also showed obvious signs of decay.
Suddenly, Jiang Cheng's ears twitched, "Don't move." He raised his hand to signal.
Everyone stopped, their ears stood up, and they looked at what was going on around them.
"Crack."
"Crack."
…
A strange sound came from not far away. It was hard to describe the sound. It was like someone crawling in the grass. Every time you heard the sound, you could feel the stiffness of the movements.
Slowly, everyone moved towards the direction where the sound came from. It was a corner, and the sound came from behind the corner. The man was not stupid and refused to go over no matter what. Li Bai snatched the Bagua mirror and handed it to Jiang Cheng, and then snatched the lantern. The man trembled and wanted to resist, but was kicked to the back by Li Bai.
Finally, they went around the corner. With the dim light of the lantern, the scene in front of them made everyone's scalp numb. There was a tree in the dim corner, and a bloated figure was carrying a person on his back, bending over, and walking around the tree. The "squeaking" sound was the sound of shoes rubbing against the ground.
This person was naturally a fat man, but what was really terrifying was that only half of the person on his back was left!
Two arms that were white with bubbles tightly wrapped around the fat man's neck, and his head leaned crookedly on the fat man's shoulder. His mouth, which was still flowing with mucus, opened slightly, as if he wanted to whisper to the fat man.
Li Bai's eyes suddenly narrowed, "How... How could it be him!"
Li Bai's doubts appeared in everyone's mind, because the person behind the fat man was not Yao, Shun, or Yu, but Gao Yanqing, who had died last night!
His upper half of the body actually appeared here!
On the fat man's back!
At the same time, the fat man's face was ashen, he seemed to be unable to hear anything, even the Jiangcheng people not far away from him didn't notice it at all, just kept circling the tree, as if possessed by evil spirits.
