The strange case of the demon book

Chapter 8: The Faceless Player

"Young boy, why are you with the people in this haunted house?" Grandma firmly held Huo Wencai's hand.

"Grandma, let go." Huo Wen wanted to break free, but found that Grandma's hand was very strong.

"Young man, let me tell you that there is no living person in this family's house. Even the young master who was with you just now is not a living person." Granny approached Huo Wencai and said suspiciously in Huo Wencai's ear.

"Grandma, the sun is shining above your head. If this is a dead person, he can't walk under the sun." Huo Wencai was unhappy.

"Listen to grandma. If you don't believe me, go to Lingma and ask. Lingma said that there is no living person in this house." Grandma looked at the door plaque of Zhang's house strangely.

"Okay, I'll listen to Grandma. Let go, Grandma, I'm going to continue patrolling." Huo Wen coaxed.Grandma's words made him very uncomfortable.

"Okay, remember not to get close to the dead people here again." Grandma finally let go of Huo Wencai's hand, and Huo Wencai turned the hand that was caught, this grandma's hand is really strong.Huo Wen returned to the Red House.

"I'm back." Ma Wenrui greeted.

"Hmm." Huo Wen replied a little depressed.

"I just saw the Li family's grandma grabbing you, what is she doing to you?" Ma Wenrui, who had nothing to do, asked.

"Hold my hand and let me admit that Zhang's house is a haunted house, and the people in it are all dead. What else is said by the spirit woman."

"There is a spirit woman over at Baiziheng, and the old people of this generation in Guangzhou believe in her, even my father. ~ But speaking of it, this spirit woman is also quite evil." Ma Wenrui said, rubbing his chin.

"What kind of evil place." Huo Wen was curious.

"They say that the spirit woman can communicate with yin and yang. Those who ask the spirit woman to do things want to ask some things about their dead relatives. After that, the spirit woman's upper body is removed from the world. Also, a son of a family who is a few years old is inexplicably right. They don’t eat vegetarian food, they only eat raw meat, and sometimes they bite them. Later, the family went to find the spirit woman, who said that the child had been possessed by a ghost, so she took something to whip the child’s feet, and poured black blood Things. After that, the child got better." Ma Wenrui said.

"Hey, it's really evil." Huo Wencai felt a little creepy when he heard it.

"Isn't it?"

"Then do you believe it?"

"I don't believe it." Ma Wenrui shook his head without hesitation, and then continued: "Unless she can be brought back to life."

"How can a person be brought back to life?" Huo Wencai remembered the rumors about the "dead man's house" as soon as he said this.If it is true as they said that Zhang's house is full of dead people, then Zhang Jue is nothing.If Zhang Jue was really a ghost or a dead person, would he still be able to stand under the sun safe and sound.

The two continued to chat, and Ma Wenrui told him a lot of interesting things about Guangzhou City.

It was getting dark.The street at dusk is covered with a layer of orange.During the transitional time from dusk to evening, children wandering outside were called home.Snack peddlers started selling them in theaters on Taiping Road, and the nobles who came to see the theater were sent to the theater one by one by car.

The night that belongs to Guangzhou city has just begun.

Huo Wencai and Ma Wenrui patrolled separately.Huo Wencai patrolled to the front of the Leshan Theater, and the receptionists in front of the theater were waiting for the nobles who came to watch the theater.Think of the weird singing at night.Only then did Huo Wen stop and stand beside the theater host.

"Come inside, the first show tonight is "Drunk and the Golden Bough."

The waiter bowed humblely and welcomed one after another to go in.Seeing that the time was almost up, Huo Wencai chatted with the receptionist in front of Leshan Theater.

"There are a lot of guests coming tonight." Huo Wencai said.

"Blessings to all the masters." The receptionist in front of the door replied with a smile.

"I don't know which troupe this troupe is in."

"The theatrical troupe tonight is the Yongming troupe. Would you like to buy a ticket and go in?" The waiter recognized Huo Wencai, and it was Huo Wencai and Ma Wenrui who patrolled the night these days, and he was quite familiar with Ma Wenrui.So don't think that this is the new patrolman, responsible for the law and order in this area.

"No, I have official duties." Huo Wencai said.Then he continued: "I know this Yongming troupe. Their reputation has spread in Guangzhou city, so everyone wants to listen to their plays. Especially their Zhengdan, the big one is still on the stage of Leshan Theater in the middle of the night. It’s really admirable to practice.”

The waiter in front of the door was puzzled for a moment, and then said: "My lord, did you make a mistake? Our theater closes at twelve o'clock. After this, the people of the Yongming troupe left through the back door. This theater does not keep people. .”

"Maybe it's that Zhengdan stayed to practice better for his own skills." Huo Wencai's palms were covered with sweat.

"That's impossible. I have all the keys with me. I checked the door carefully before locking it." The receptionist shook his head and said.

According to the reception in front of the door, he would check and lock the front and rear doors of the Leshan Theater after the theater was over.So it is impossible to keep people in the theater, so the opera singer at night is——

Thinking of a certain possibility, Huo Wen's face became stiff. After he touched his bosom and touched the amulet given by the fortune teller, Huo Wen was relieved a lot.

After some more words from the waiter, Huo Wen left.

Ma Wenrui saw that Huo Wencai was a little out of his mind tonight.Asked him, he said nothing.It was only after twelve o'clock that Huo Wen asked Ma Wenrui to patrol together, and Ma Wenrui went to sleep after the patrol.Although Ma Wenrui felt strange, he didn't ask any more questions.

The two patrolled Taiping Street together.

After a patrol on Taiping Street, there was no problem at all.After the two continued to patrol Fengning Road, Ma Wenrui and Huo Wencai greeted each other and went to find a place to sleep.It was only after Huo Wen returned to the red room that he breathed a sigh of relief.Nothing seemed wrong tonight.When I was patrolling Taiping Street, I passed the Leshan Theater and didn't hear the weird singing voice.

Huo Wencai stayed quietly in the red room. At this moment, he felt that he was extremely sensitive.The shops and people on both sides of Taiping Street had already turned off their lights and went to sleep, but only a few lights were on waiting for the red house where he was.

The whole Taiping Street was dead silent, as if he was the only living person.

Huo Wencai was thinking nonsense, if he had known about it, he would have found a place to sleep with Ma Wenrui.

"The spring is full of thousands of flowers, and the scenery of three springs has never been seen before. The jade swallows surround the Cuixuan, the butterflies are flying and the music is endless, and the flowers are blooming..."

coming!here we go again!Huo Wen's scalp exploded!

The erratic singing voice made him shudder.Huo Wencai's face turned pale. He touched the talisman paper he bought from the fortune teller during the day with his hand and held it firmly in his hand, and pulled out the gun with the other hand.Huo Wencai stood up and gritted his teeth——

Be sure to find out what is playing tricks!

Huo Wencai walked slowly towards the Leshan Theater.He could clearly hear his own footsteps.When he stood in front of the Leshan Theater, Huo Wen discovered that the door of the Leshan Theater was open.The inside was dark, and the strange singing sound from inside floated into Huo Wencai's ears.

Huo Wencai said in a deep voice: "I don't care if you pretend to be a ghost in front of me. If you bump into my hand, I will make you eat and walk around."

Huo Wencai's muscles tensed up, and he took a deep breath.If the opponent is human, he believes that with his own kung fu, he will be able to knock him down.If the other party is really not a human being but something evil, then with the fortune-teller's talisman on his body, he can escape completely.

Huo Wencai lifted his foot and walked slowly into the dark Leshan Theater.

The inside of Leshan Theater was dark.Huo Wen walked straight ahead, and then opened the door of the theater.What came into view was the empty theater and Zhengdan singing on the stage.

"I leaned on Cuixuan in silence, half awake and half asleep, and saw a butterfly fairy in my dream. I fell in love with each other like honey, and we were lingering together. In an instant, the wind blows away the dream and turns into smoke..."

Under the lights on the stage, Zhengdan wore a costume and sang with Huo Wen on his back.This scene is full of eerie and terrifying.But Huo Wen walked forward slowly as if possessed by a demon.

"It's really nice to sing." Huo Wencai said in his heart.He stopped under the stage.

He just stood in the middle of the road in front of the stage, fascinated, watching Zhengdan singing on the stage.Huo Wen showed a foolish smile.In the empty theater, on the stage, only Yizhengdan was singing, and there was only one opera performer in the audience.The whole theater seemed very quiet and eerie.

"I'm also afraid that it's hard to find dreams in the quietness of the boudoir, so I'll sleep alone upstairs." After the song ended, Na Zhengdan slowly turned her head——

"Ah—ghost—" A terrified voice came from Leshan Theater.

Huo Wencai fell to the ground in fright when he saw Zhengdan's face without facial features.When Na Zhengdan floated in front of him, Huo Wen slapped the talisman in his hand hard on the face of that faceless Zhengdan.That Zhengdan grabbed Huo Wencai's neck and slowly floated up——

Oh shit!Got tricked by that fortune teller liar!Huo Wencai couldn't help cursing in his heart!

The faceless Zhengdan pinched his neck and slowly floated up into the midair of the theater.Huo Wencai was strangled by the neck and floated in the air with the faceless Zhengdan. His eyes were full of fear, and his face gradually turned blue because he couldn't breathe.Huo Wencai held the pistol of the other hand against Faceless Zhengdan's abdomen and fired a shot——

"boom--"

The dead silence on Taiping Street was broken, and the stray dogs on Taiping Street suddenly barked.There are also people who woke up because of the gunshots and made a rustling sound.

That faceless Zhengdan let go of Huo Wen and disappeared.Huo Wencai fell from the midair of the theater and fell to the ground, inhaling loudly——

Footsteps came from outside the theater, and Ma Wenrui entered the theater with a gun and saw that it was Huo Wencai, and Huo Wencai fell to the ground and didn't look very good.He hurried forward: "Wen Cai, are you okay!"

"I, I'm fine. Let's go, get out of here." Huo Wen helped Ma Wenrui to stand up.

The two hurriedly left the Leshan Theater and returned to the Red House.

After Huo Wencai and Ma Wenrui arrived at the red room, Huo Wencai's fingers trembled.

"Wencai, what happened?" Seeing Huo Wencai's pale face and black marks on his neck, Ma Wenrui asked worriedly.

"Ghost, I met a ghost—" Huo Wen said with a trembling voice.
