Three Hundred and Sixteenth Chapter Shroud (1)
"I was there to save you." Chen Ge stuffed the Skull Smasher back into his backpack: "Three ghosts escaped, we are now exposed and can't stay here any longer."
"Do you want to leave?" Lao Wei wanted to leave for a long time.
"The night in Coffin Village is very quiet. The sound of our fight just now must have been heard far away. I'm worried that other monsters will hear the noise and contain us." Chen Ge has his own plans: "The three monsters saw us just now. Our first reaction was to attack, so it can be seen that the old lady's purpose in leading us to the old house is not simple, the people in this place are definitely not as kind as Uncle Bai said."
Uncle Bai doesn't agree with Chen Ge's opinion too much: "I have never entered Coffin Village at night, and I don't know why such a change occurred. In my impression, the real villagers of Coffin Village would not do such a thing, they just like ordinary people."
"Master, you haven't been to Coffin Village for many years. You don't know what happened here, so it's better for us to be careful."
Chen Ge looked around, and he reached out and picked up the paper figurine on the ground.
The paper man tortured by the boy was covered with nail prints, his limbs were about to be ripped off, and his facial expressions were extremely painful.
"Zhu Fengxi?"
Three words were written on the back of the paper figurine, and I don't know what kind of paint was used to paint it. It was crooked and looked like coagulated blood.
"This name is a bit familiar." Uncle Bai leaned over to Chen Ge and looked at the paper figure: "He seems to be one of the people who escaped from Coffin Village."
"The name of the refugee is written on the paper figure." Chen Ge thought of some anomalies he found in Linguan Village. There was a kitchen knife behind the door of many old houses, and ropes hung from the windows.
Combined with their encounter in the haunted house just now, he vaguely understood the purpose of this arrangement.
If a monster gets in through the window, the rope can wrap the opponent's head, and the kitchen knife behind the door may be used to ward off evil spirits and self-defense.
The more remote the village, the more strange customs there will be. Now Chen Ge can only interpret it in his own way.
"Those people who escaped from the coffin village are in a state of fear all day long. Could the thing they have been afraid of is the ghost in the coffin village? If they are caught by the ghost, will they become paper figures and be tortured, is it their final end?"
For those who escaped, Chen Ge has always had a question in his heart that he couldn't understand. Why did those people escape from the coffin village in the first place?
What happened to this dilapidated village,
Will the villagers flee in large numbers?
"If you want to figure this out, I'm afraid you can only find a villager and ask." Chen Ge stuffed the paper figurine into his pocket: "I have a plan that I want to discuss with you two."
"you say."
"First, let's leave the village first."
"Okay." Both Old Wei and Uncle Bai nodded in agreement, and they also felt that the village was too dangerous.
"Secondly, after we left the village, we searched the houses around the village. No matter what we encountered, we took them all." Chen Ge's eyes were bright: "As long as we don't make too much noise, There is a chance to defeat them one by one.”
Chen Ge has thought about it carefully. Every time Xu Yin swallows a ghost, the blood on his body will increase by one piece. If this pace continues, there is a high probability of becoming a real red-clothed tonight!
There is a huge difference in strength between the Red-clothed Specter and the ordinary Specter. Without the Red-clothed by his side, Chen Ge always felt uneasy.
"Are you trying to destroy a village?" Old Wei, a policeman, frowned when he heard Chen Ge say that.
As for Uncle Bai, he was used to Chen Ge's crazy thoughts.
"Let's go outside the village and discuss what to do next." Uncle Bai walked in front, holding the jade pendant in his hand.
Old Wei turned pale and followed behind Uncle Bai, while Chen Ge stood there and didn't move.
After the three monsters were eaten by Xu Yin, the white cat did not return to normal, it was still scratching the backpack.
"There should be something hidden nearby." Chen Ge kept his mind and glanced around casually.
At the top of the wall on the left side of the main hall, there seemed to be a human head flashing past.
"The room next door?" Chen Ge didn't stay in the room for a long time and went out.
White paper lanterns hung on both sides of the street, emitting a pale light. I wonder if it was an illusion. Chen Ge noticed that there seemed to be more lanterns in the village.
"What does this lantern mean? Hanging a white lantern means that there are ghosts in the house?"
"Chen Ge, come here."
"Right now." Chen Ge passed the house next to him and turned his head to look.
The wooden door was closed, and it was strange that there was no white paper lantern hanging on this door.
"Isn't the ghost hiding on the wall just now?"
Chen Ge and Uncle Bai kept their distance, and most of their attention was behind them.
Walking to the corner of the dirt road, when Chen Ge's vision was about to be blocked by the wall, he slowed down and glanced sideways.
The door was opened at an unknown time, and there was a blood-red shroud standing at the door.
In order not to be exposed, Chen Ge only stayed for less than a second and continued to move forward, but his heart was lifted.
"Shroud moved by itself?"
Walking in a spooky village with white paper lanterns, followed by a big red shroud. The night wind was blowing, and strange sounds could be heard from time to time in the houses on both sides. Some were crying, some were laughing, and some seemed to be biting at something.
As the night deepened, the whole village became more eerie.
"Other places are quiet at night, but this place is completely the other way around. The darker it gets, the busier it gets." Chen Ge went through the ghosts he encountered tonight in his mind: "The one in the valley wants to pull me in. The ghost in the coffin seems to be different from the family of three in the old house, and in comparison, the ghost in the old house is a bit smarter."
It was less than half an hour after entering the coffin village, and he had already encountered so many strange things. Chen Ge now suspects that there is a blood door hidden in this village, and it is an unattended, fully open door!
"Take your time, start the search from the outside, and you will definitely find the house in Fan Yu's painting."
When Chen Ge turned the next corner, he glanced behind him again, and the hem of the shroud was dragging on the ground, closer to them.
"It doesn't feel very comfortable to be chased by a piece of clothing worn by a dead person." Chen Ge held the repeater and accidentally bumped into Old Wei: "Why did you stop?"
"Not quite right..." Old Wei looked at the completely unfamiliar street in front of him, his face even paler: "The road I came from seems to be gone."
"Ghost hitting the wall?" Chen Ge pondered for a while, and patted Old Wei on the shoulder: "It's okay, don't be afraid, just find someone to ask the next way."
"There are more ghosts than people in this place. Who do you want to go?" Old Wei said for a long time, but no one responded. He turned his head and saw that Chen Ge had walked away with the Skull Smasher.
