Chapter 1122: Same Rhetoric

This is just a 20-square-meter hut, with a height of only two meters and a dozen. The distance between the ceiling and living people is not far at all.

Standing at this distance, Cheng Ming can clearly see the face of the ghost.

It is a face full of cracks, one horizontal, two vertical... The paleness is torn into pieces, and there are faint maggots drilling in and out of the cracks in the head.

Even so, Cheng Ming can still see all kinds of malicious cruelty from the eyes on this face.

The broken limbs are attached to the ceiling, and the protruding bone spurs under the yellow light give people the illusion of being as sharp as a blade.

This ghost is wearing clothes, but they have been rotten beyond recognition, and they are loose and almost like a curtain.

But there are black bandages wrapped around the front and back of the body, wrapping the scattered pieces of cloth tightly around the body.

The first scene of this unique and terrifying shape squeezing into people's eyes almost made Cheng Ming, who was unprepared, scream.

However, Cheng Ming was a rare talent in the tenth store. He stopped in time when he was afraid, and thought about the problem in just one second.

He immediately turned off the light, and after the room returned to darkness, the ghost on the ceiling could no longer be seen.

This was not a self-deception, but he suddenly remembered a sentence from the girl in the red skirt in an emergency.

The girl once said: "Dad doesn't like to turn on the light, and he doesn't like to see strangers."

The girl had turned on the light before and everything was fine, but she was part of the family after all.

Now the girl had just left, and Cheng Ming, a stranger, had just turned on the light and saw a female ghost on the ceiling. He could only connect the two things together.

This thrilling scene was naturally not only discovered by Cheng Ming.

Everyone, including Ji Li, saw the female ghost on the ceiling, and even after he turned off the light, everyone's eyes were locked on the ceiling.

Turning off the light was very correct.

Although it was an unrestricted area, the action logic of ghosts must contain regularity. There are not many rules available for reference at present, and every word the girl said is very important.

Turn on the light or not, it became a key question.

Everyone was ready, looking up at the ceiling, and preparing for the answer at any time.

One second, two seconds...

Until half a minute, time passed quietly, and everything was still calm.

The answer has been revealed - "Turn on the light and you will see a ghost, turn off the light and you will be fine."

In the heavy atmosphere, Ji Li spoke quietly and repeated the question just now.

After hearing this, Xiao Qianduye was alert for a moment, and also lowered his voice to answer:

"I saw it..."

But it was just a coincidence.

Xiao Qianduye's second answer still couldn't be said, and the door rang at this moment.

The sound of the keyhole turning, the operation of the old machine, seemed to be winding up everyone's heart.

"Click!"

The door opened, and five pairs of eyes were firmly locked on the position of the door in the dark.

It was only two minutes later, and the girl in the red skirt should not be able to come back so soon. Who else has the key to this room besides her?

Ji Li was waiting for the light. If the light appeared, it meant that the girl had returned and it was safe, but if not...

The mission was always what you feared, and this time was no exception.

As the door opened, a hoarse male voice coughed heavily, but no light appeared.

This was a "pseudo-secret room" with only one exit at the door. Once it was blocked, only the sin object would open the way.

Ji Li almost instantly grasped the black chain in his palm, and the bronze ancient coffin was about to smash into the room in the next second.

Luo Xian and the others also showed their sin objects, ready to rush out of the secret room to escape.

But at this time, the person who opened the door took the lead and made a sound that surprised everyone:

"Hmm?"

This was a questioning sound. The person who came seemed to have noticed the presence of others in the room in the dark, but he could not see them, so there was such a sound.

And this sound also stopped the actions of the store manager and the staff in time.

Standing in this room were all top staff, and they immediately analyzed a message from this question-the person who came might be a "person".

This person, of course, needs to be put in quotation marks, after all, the girl in the red skirt is also considered a "person", but she cannot be a person.

The main reason for this analysis is that "he" is also affected by the darkness and cannot be seen.

However, how could an adult male appear at this time and place?

"Is there anyone in the house?"

When the five people were stunned, the man took the lead in asking with his hoarse and low voice.

Just listening to the voice, the man should be middle-aged and extremely tired, and he lacked confidence when speaking.

In the darkness, it was meaningless to exchange glances, and Luo Xian spoke in silence.

"Hello, we are passers-by who accidentally broke into this place. May I ask who you are?"

"Passers-by?"

The man's voice was really uncomfortable. The sound was like iron and stone rubbing together, rough and unpleasant.

"Can you say you are passers-by if you can accidentally break into my house?"

His tone was full of dissatisfaction, and because his voice was too hoarse, it even sounded like a low roar.

Luo Xian's heart skipped a beat. This was the man's home, and also the home of the girl in the red skirt. Could he be the father the girl was talking about?

The father who disliked light and strangers the most?

It seemed like they were right. No wonder he didn't turn on the light when he entered.

Things fell into an awkward state for a while, and Luo Xian had no way to continue communicating. She knew that she had hit a dead end.

This space was so large that the girl in the red dress did not lead the man away. Instead, he "coincidentally" found the store employees' hiding place.

Quiet……

The man didn't speak anymore, and neither did the shop assistants. They all seemed to have fallen into a rigid stage of contemplation, but the things they were thinking about were completely different.

At this time, a small sound suddenly came from Cheng Ming's direction, breaking the calm.

"squeak……"

Ji Li couldn't tell what happened from this tone, he just frowned.

At the same time, the man moved first, heavy footsteps sounded, and he walked straight into the house.

Luo Xian was also listening, and soon realized that the other party was coming for her. After all, she was the only one who had spoken in the dark and could know the approximate location.

She was in a hurry and was about to use the Nightmare Sinful Artifact.

But the next second, she found that there was a strong smell of sweat in front of her, and the man's voice was very close, and his tone became urgent:

"You guys come with me quickly. You must leave my house as soon as possible."

The situation was different from what the clerks imagined. The man was not as angry and terrifying as the girl in the red dress said, nor did he turn into a ghost and kill people.

He actually made similar decisions and actions as the girl in the red dress.

Luo Xian was dragged away by him without any reason, and Ji Li and others could only follow him when they saw this.

The man seemed to be very familiar with the terrain of this area. Even though there was no light on, he walked confidently and swerved in the darkness.

Luo Xian couldn't help it anymore and asked the key question:

"Are we trying to hide from something? Why are you in such a hurry?"

The man kept walking and didn't seem to look back. He responded with that iconic voice:

"My wife doesn't like light, and she doesn't like seeing strangers. You must leave quickly before she notices you, otherwise..."

This sentence was so familiar that it shocked everyone greatly.

The girl in the red dress said something similar, and the "object of terror" she pointed out was the father figure.

And the father appeared and said similar words, but the "object of terror" in his mouth became the role of the mother.

But, this is not the most important thing now.

After walking for about half a minute, Ji Li suddenly discovered a serious problem——

Among the five store managers and clerks, there were only four footsteps left.

Among the five of them, one person did not leave the room just now.
