Night fell quickly, and the night seemed to be pouring down like mercury, making people breathless.

"It's already dark, we'd better stay together tonight, don't spread out." Several people had a good night's sleep in the afternoon, and they were in good spirits at the moment.Shigeo Nakamura found two more wooden sticks and distributed them to several people, and arranged the division of labor for each person.

Liumei's body hadn't been processed yet, so several people put her into a coffin and closed the lid to prevent the smell of the corpse from leaking out.

"Did you say that the thing that killed Liumei entered the house?" Jiu Lanxuan also regained his energy at this time. He touched his chin, his wine red eyes were clear and innocent, "Is the other party still coming tonight? If the other party How should we deal with it being a ghost? Or what should we do if the other party is something else?"

Originally, Jiu Lanxuan was just asking casually, but the others felt chills creeping into their hearts.

Now most of the houses in the village have been confirmed to contain only dead bodies and no living people. If anyone enters the yard, it can only be a murderer or a ghost.

"How about we lock the door?" Xi Ji asked timidly.

"No, lock the door. If something happens in the house, we will become very passive." Yoshikawa directly rejected Xi Ji's proposal, "The only known exit in the yard is the gate. If there is a secret door here that we don't know about , then for us who are not familiar with the terrain, the gate will be the only passage.”

"We may have to use some special means in special times. There is no signal on the mountain now, and we can only take care of ourselves if something happens." Jiu Lanxuan also put forward his own suggestion, "Let's stay vigil in the first half of the night, and everyone stays with weapons. No matter who comes in, we will give him a few sticks. If no one comes in in the first half of the night, we will go out together, look for people who are alone on the street, and if there are any, we will tie them back and ask questions."

"Then... what if there are many people on the street?" Xi Ji's face was pale, and her hair was a little messy.

"If there are a lot of people, it means that the people living in this village are really not human. Then we will hide in the next house and wait for the other party to come back before attacking him!" Jiu Lanxuan weighed her hands skillfully as she spoke. The stick in his hand, as if he had done this kind of thing countless times.

It has now been confirmed that most of the families in the village have died. In this situation, it is absolutely impossible for the streets to be full of people. If there is, it must be the resurrection of the dead.

Several people understood this truth, but they still listened with weird faces. Conan held a wooden board in his hand and said hesitantly, "Xiao Yuan, you are trespassing on a private house and hurting people on purpose."

"This is a special period for us, and this is how we should treat murderers and unknown creatures." Jiu Lanxuan walked slowly to the doors of the three rooms, closed and locked the doors. "Our exit is at the gate, so lock these three rooms. If the secret passage is in the room, this door can delay us for some time."

"I agree with Xiao Xuan's approach."

Shigeo Nakamura was the first to express his opinion, obviously he also felt that Jiu Lanxuan's method was good.Before finding Sakura Inoue, it is more important to save her own life first.

The others had no objection either. Several of them turned off their flashlights, raised their weapons and stood guard by the gate.

In just a few words, the street outside has changed.

All the white lanterns were lit up, and the village was shrouded in blue light. In the deep blue, the door of someone's house was pushed open first, and a bell rang in the dark night.It seems to have a certain rhythm, trying to call something.

One door after another was pushed open, footsteps sounded on the street, and villagers in ragged clothes came out of the house one by one.

They held white candles dyed with will-o'-the-wisps in their hands, and none of them spoke. Each of them, like puppets who had lost their souls, passed by the gate of the courtyard with their heads down.There was a general silence at the scene, with some memories.

"He...they..." Seeing this scene, Xi Ji gritted his teeth tightly, his lips were torn.

"Those people are the dead people we inspected today." Shigeo Nakamura's expression did not change, but the pale hand holding the wooden stick revealed that he was not as calm as he appeared at this time.

Conan also had an unbelievable expression, his pupils shrunk to pinpoints at the moment, and he held the wooden board with a pale face.

The white lanterns exuded a faint blue light at the moment, hanging on both sides of the street, I don't know if it was an illusion, but Jiu Lan found that the lanterns in the village seemed to have changed a lot.

"What is that ringing?" Yoshikawa Jin was the first to notice the unusual place, and turned to look at Jiu Lanxuan.

"It feels like it's for summoning souls, or controlling monsters." Jiu Lanxuan's complexion was frighteningly pale, and at this moment, it was somewhat similar to the face of the monster outside.

A very faint smell of blood suddenly wafted in the air, accompanied by the smell of corpses permeating the surroundings.

"Do you feel that the lanterns are different?" Conan's perception is the most acute at this time, and he can just see the lanterns in front of their house from his perspective.At this moment, there is no sign of lightening up.

"Does the lantern represent something?" Several people glanced at each other fiercely, the blue ghost candle obviously aroused their bad associations,

Could it be, could it be that the lantern represents a ghost in the house?

"It's not good, I'm afraid they found us, hide quickly!" Several people realized the seriousness of the situation in an instant, and immediately scattered in the yard to find shelter.

Conan, Jiu Lanxuan, and Xi Ji stayed together. Behind the rockery, the three of them bent slightly, their muscles tensed, like a fully drawn bow, "We are in a blind spot of vision now, if there is something later Come here and I will give him a stick first. The two of you deal with the back to prevent someone from sneaking up."

Jiu Lanxuan commanded, with a long iron rod horizontally placed in front of her.

"Can you do it alone?" Conan has adjusted the strength of the shoes to the maximum, ready to attack at any time.

"Don't worry, I have experience in dealing with this kind of thing." Jiu Lanxuan's expression looked relaxed, which also made the two of them feel relieved.

For him, there is nothing that can't be solved with one stick, if it can't be solved with one stick, two sticks will be used!

The white inverted blessing on the door was blown by the wind and made a sound, as if foreshadowing something to come.

The door was pushed open from the outside, but there was nothing outside the yard, and no one could be seen on the street. The only change was that the lantern at the door suddenly lit up.

"That thing came in?"

The white will-o'-the-wisp lanterns scattered a faint blue light all over the ground. There was no one in the yard, but two figures, one tall and one short, were illuminated on the ground.

Their shadows were shaking, as if they hadn't noticed the people hiding everywhere in the house.

The dark wind blew, and the door closed automatically. When the faint blue light disappeared outside the door, a monster with its head bowed appeared.

He pressed his head to his chest, bowed his head, stood on tiptoe, and walked as if jumping forward.Messy hair covered his face, and his clothes were stained with blood, giving off a stench.

His standing posture is very strange, his body leans forward as if he will fall down at any time.

"It's that junior high school student!" Conan's face was pale and his heart was pounding. He turned on the positioning system of his glasses, and the red dots flashed, showing that the target was very close to everyone. "It's me! through the tracker."

Conan's words completely cut off the luck of the few people, but Xi Ji calmed down at this time, and gestured to the two men opposite him, telling him to hide.
