"what--"

A miserable cry came from outside the room.

Zhou Rui, who was huddled in the corner of the bed, was pale, with cold sweat pouring out of his back, and the intense fear made him unable to speak a word.

His eyes were fixed on the closed door, they had never been opened so wide, and the eyeballs were almost protruding.

Gao Ming was arrested...

He was captured by a ghost in front of him...

Will it be me next?

Zhou Rui grabbed the bed firmly with one hand, and put the other hand in his mouth, his fingernails had already been bitten open.

He didn't dare to blink, he was afraid that if he closed his eyes, he would see the ghost watching them again. He wanted to escape, but there was no way to escape.

Gao Ming's screams outside became smaller and smaller.

Until the whole house is quiet.

Is Gao Ming dead?still alive?

Zhou Rui didn't dare to think about it at all, he didn't dare to go out, he didn't even dare to call out.

In the dark, people's senses will be more acute than usual, he kept panting heavily, and suddenly pricked up his ears.

There seems to be movement outside.

Zhou Rui couldn't tell what the sound was, and it gradually drifted away, as if someone was dragging something out.

drag?

He was startled.

The window directly facing the head of the bed opened towards the yard, the moonlight rose, Zhou Rui looked over unconsciously, and saw a little shadow in the hazy light.

He was so frightened that his teeth clenched together and made a sound out of position.

Even though the distance was far away, he could feel that ghost looking at him, full of resentment and malice, as if it would come in and kill him in the next second!

"Huh...huh..."

"It's probably dead. I don't know if both are dead or only one." Yu Ming left the wall and rubbed his ears.

"I don't know what the reason is this time."

Lu Donghai wanted to smoke, but there were none here.

In the world they experienced last time, two people died on the first night. They had no clue at first, but later realized that it was because they said something they shouldn't have said.

That is to touch the taboo in the world.

Yu Ming said in a muffled voice: "Brother Donghai, if we don't find the mirror, we will all die."

Xu Xiaoyuan, who was further away, couldn't sleep even more. She was a late night party, and usually didn't sleep until three o'clock in the morning.

From the moment she heard the movement, she kept thinking about what happened, who had the accident, shouldn't it be someone she knew?

Li Yanru next to her was just the opposite. She was a housewife who went to bed as soon as ten o'clock, and she was still snoring.

Xu Xiaoyuan really admired it.

Tonight's night was extraordinarily long, the sky gradually turned bright around seven o'clock, and the temperature was lower than yesterday.

Xi Le didn't see where Yin Baihe was when he woke up, and he was relieved when he saw the people standing in the yard after going out.

"Are you awake?" Yin Baihe turned his head, "Someone knocked on the door just now."

Xi Le hummed, and found that he was staring at him all the time, a little nervous: "What's wrong, something's wrong?"

Yin Baihe said: "Your hair is sticking up."

"..."

Ten minutes later, the knock on the door rang again.

Yu Ming stood outside the door with a rather unsightly expression, "We will gather in an open space not far away later, someone died last night."

In fact, everyone has guessed this.

The screams were so miserable last night, someone must have had an accident.

Xi Le hadn't reached the edge of the clearing when she heard sharp screams, and then a woman rushed out vomiting non-stop.

In the central open space, a bloody man is curled up on the ground, with almost no intact parts visible, his arched back undulating.

The most serious thing was the head, which was directly sunken in, as if it had received a serious blow.

Although the blood had solidified, the strong smell of blood still lingered.

The bloodstains left by the dragging stretched all the way from under the body to the house not far away. The door was open, and there were also bloodstains in the yard.

Yin Baihe stepped forward to check, "It looks like he was beaten to death."

"...This... was beaten to death?" As soon as the words fell, someone gasped and asked tremblingly.

Lu Donghai asked: "Who lived with him last night?"

Xu Xiaoyuan said, "It seems to be that college student."

Yu Ming counted the number of people, "Someone didn't come."

Everyone looked at the end of the bloodstain, and was silent for a long time. It was still Lu Donghai who took the lead and walked in, "Go in and have a look."

"I dont go……"

"It's okay if you don't go." Yu Ming rarely insisted, "But in the mirror, you can't get out alive just by good luck."

"..."

Xi Le and Yin Baihe walked side by side, and he asked, "Was beaten to death alive?"

Yin Baihe nodded, "The murder weapon should be a stick."

Xi Le thought for a while, "Ghosts can still use tools to torture people."

Then can he use tools to torture ghosts?

If it works, the first one will kill the one in the mirror at home.

The smell of blood in the room became stronger, everyone walked in frowning, and when they opened the door, they saw Zhou Rui curled up on the bed.

Yu Ming stretched out his hand and pushed, Zhou Rui jumped up suddenly.

"There is a ghost! There is a ghost! Gao Ming was killed by a ghost!"

It was not until now that everyone knew that the first victim was Gao Ming.

"I want to get out of here! I want to go! I don't want to stay in this haunted place—I don't want to die—"

The atmosphere changed instantly.

Zhou Rui saw a dozen people standing in front of him, and a big man cried like this: "I don't want to die..."

"It's as if we wanted to die." Lu Donghai comforted him symbolically: "At least you survived."

Zhou Rui: "..."

It is better to live than to die.

Who the hell is safe and sound after seeing such a horrible scene.

Half an hour later, Zhou Rui's mood finally stabilized.

With so many people in a room, it was really boring, Xi Le couldn't help but walked out, and found Yin Baihe was in the main room.

"What did you find?"

Yin Baihe lifted his chin.

"See for yourself."

You can see for yourself, Xi Le looked along and found that among the several wooden sticks leaning against the wall, one of them was completely stained red with blood.

Don't think it's the murder weapon.

It seems that they also put similar bamboo strips in their houses.

Do ghosts kill people randomly?

Or is there some kind of condition?

Xi Le originally thought that the lanterns last night should be lit on purpose, but now it seems that the main point is not the lanterns.

So what is the reason for it to choose Gao Ming and let go of Zhou Rui, who is in the same room?

Lu Donghai came out and saw Yin Baihe and Xi Le standing together, "He said something about the situation, and that ghost seemed to let him go on purpose."

Xi Le said: "That is to say, the murder may not have been chosen randomly."

Lu Donghai nodded, "Mr. Yin, what did you find?"

Xi Le pointed to the wall and got straight to the point: "The murder weapon is here, maybe what happened last night is related to this wooden stick."

Lu Donghai froze for a moment, then came back to his room after realizing it.

Sure enough, Zhou Rui gave the answer: "...Last night, brother Gao was going to use it for self-defense, and grabbed one. I still felt that there was blood on it, but it was not obvious."

He suddenly asked: "What's wrong?"

"You haven't gone out to see, Gao Ming was beaten to death." Yu Ming said.

After a while, everyone came out with ugly faces, gathered around the wall, and stared at the blood-stained stick.

"There doesn't seem to be any wooden sticks in the house I live in." Someone patted his chest, intuitively rejoicing: "It's a broom."

"I didn't notice, I didn't touch it anyway."

On the contrary, Xu Xiaoyuan's face turned pale: "I seem to have... a wooden stick..."

In an instant, there was nothing around her.

Xu Xiaoyuan quickly waved his hand: "I didn't touch it."

After confessing, they realized that there are such things in every house they live in, some are bamboo strips, some are wooden sticks, and some are brooms.

When they checked, they saw blood stains, which seemed to have been left a long time ago.

Yu Ming couldn't figure it out, "These are relatively common in rural areas, and if you touch them, you'll die. Could it be that this ghost specializes in killing people who touch other people's things?"

"Many people should have died in the village over the years, probably all of them were killed in this way, but why are they still kept in the house?"

After discussing without a result, someone called them.

It turned out to be a villager. He didn't seem to notice the corpse outside, and his face was normal: "The village chief asked me to ask you to have breakfast."

The middle-aged man who was bullied yesterday scolded: "What are you eating when you're all dead! You have a murderer here!"

"Who knows if there is poison in your food!"

Seeing the other party's unsightly expression, Lu Donghai stopped everyone from swearing: "The most important thing is to eat, otherwise you will starve to death instead of being killed."

After the villagers left, everyone was very upset.

Looking at the village during the day is completely different from last night. There are women wearing worn-out clothes washing clothes, and some people are sitting at the door having breakfast.

The more normal, the more wrong it seems.

"Are they all human?" Li Yanru asked, "Don't you know they are dead?"

"It should be that more people died." Xi Le thought for a while, and came to a conclusion: "You can see it from yesterday's couplet, and it may be numb."

How many people have to die to have such a reaction?

The village head's family is the old man from last night. His face looked much better during the day, and he even smiled when he saw them.

It's okay not to smile, but a smile scares everyone.

In fact, everyone didn't really want to go in, but it was impossible not to eat, so we had to enter his house nervously.

The smell of incense candles in the room dissipated a lot.

"You guys came too late last night, so you didn't talk about many things." The old man narrowed his eyes, "We have to sacrifice to the mountain god in three days, and you can only stay until then."

"Sacrificing to the mountain god?"

"Hmm." The old man fell silent again.

Everyone had a breakfast, but they didn't get any information. His mouth was very strict, after all, he was the village chief.

Before leaving, Xi Le asked, "What are the lanterns in the village used for?"

The old man glanced at him, "Illuminated."

Very simple answer.

Is it really?Schiller didn't believe it.

It wasn't until I left that someone said: "Isn't what you just asked nonsense? Of course the lantern is for lighting, otherwise it can still be a decoration?"

"The lanterns in the village were not lit last night," Xi Le said.

"Don't order if you don't go out." The middle-aged man yelled at him.

Ding Yifan still remembers that he felt that he had no sense of safety yesterday, and now he has the opportunity to ridicule him.

Xie Le glanced at him.

Ding Yifan was vigilant: "...what do you see me doing?"

"The lantern at your door was lit last night." Xi Le's tone was a little sullen, "Guess who ordered it for you."

"..."

Who ordered it?Human or ghost?

Zhou Rui, who was on the verge of emotional breakdown, yelled, "The lantern at our gate was also lit last night, and it was lighted by the villagers!"

Ding Yifan's back felt cold when he was told, and asked: "What do you mean, is the lantern at your door not lit?"

Xi Le glanced at Yin Baihe, "No."

Yin Baihe looked over, the eyes of the two happened to meet, and Xi Le blinked.

"I took the candles from the lantern." Yin Baihe said.

Last night, no one cared about the lantern at all, and besides them and Zhou Rui, no one noticed that the lantern at the door was lit.

Ding Yifan immediately said angrily: "Why didn't you tell us?!"

"Yes, why didn't you tell us in advance?" Someone echoed: "Do you know what's going on?"

Regardless of whether the lantern was a problem, they all grasped this point and held on.

Zhou Rui said angrily: "Maybe Brother Gao doesn't have to die!"

After blurting out this sentence, he seemed to feel that he was right, and the expression on his face became more and more excited.

"It's all your fault for not telling me!"

Yin Baihe looked calm, "What are you talking about, who told you that you will die when the lantern is lit, you are still alive, instead of making random accusations, you should think about it—"

He paused, "Gao Ming is dead, how are you staying tonight?"

Zhou Rui's face suddenly turned pale.

He said that there must be two people, and now he is the only one left.

The few people who were accusing with him fell silent in an instant, as quiet as a chicken.
