The days of being frantically pursued by the boss of the horror world

Someone in the crowd respectfully brought out a bowl of water and wanted to pass it to Yu Jin.

The sorceress flew into a rage, pounding the ground with her cane, and cursed something in a dialect that Yu Jin couldn't understand.

But the villagers were so numerous that they surrounded the sorceress. Even though she was a noble person, she was still just an old man, so she could only sit on the sidelines angrily and hit her crutch hard.

Yu Jin picked up the bowl, still hesitating, but the sorceress smashed the bowl with a cane, muttering in her mouth, and raised her wrist.

Yu Jin knew that she was going to use incense again, and planned to avoid her.

Unexpectedly, the power of the sorceress was stronger than he thought, and she pressed him on the chair so that she could not move, and forcefully stuffed the sachet under his nose.

A strong aroma poured into his nose, and he passed out again.

Yu Jin was awakened by the cold water that choked her nose and mouth.He opened his eyes and found that his hands and feet were tied, his mouth and nose were sealed, and he was put into a sack with stones in it, and he was sinking to the bottom of the river.

Holding his breath, he called out the knife, cut the ropes on his hands and feet, untied the shackles around his mouth and nose, pierced the sack, and got out of the bag.

The creek was not too deep, and he had good water quality. He calmed down and surfaced quickly.

He was just about to swim to the shore, but his feet were entangled in aquatic plants. In desperation, he had to dive into the water again and cut off the aquatic plants.

A group of small fish swam out of the aquatic plants and rushed towards his face.

Yu Jin tilted his face, his breath was disturbed for a moment, he almost choked on water, and his body was entangled by more aquatic plants.

The aquatic plants are like a soft cage, imprisoning him deep in the bottom of the river.

Fortunately, the blade was sharp, so he cut off the aquatic plants around him, and quickly swam back to the river to catch his breath.

Ding He was standing on the shore, and when he saw him poking his head out, he squatted down and stretched out his hands, ready to pull him ashore.

Yu Jin suddenly brightened up and swam towards him.

But the water flowed to the bend, and there was a whirlpool not far away.He has spent a lot of energy fighting with the aquatic plants, and he is no longer able to deal with it as easily as usual.

Ding He's expression changed slightly, he jumped into the water, clamped his body, and dragged him to the shore.

The river seemed to sense his presence, and automatically parted to the side, making way for a passage.

Ding He dragged Yu Jin ashore and laid it flat on the ground.Yu Jin wiped his face, coughed twice, and sat up.

He dried the water off his body and leaned against Ding He.

Seeing that he looked tired, Ding He touched his face to ask him to rest.

But Yu Jin opened his eyes and looked at the river in a daze: "Why do they use this method again?"

Ding He's voice carried a soothing power: "Which method?"

"They were going to drown me the day before yesterday, and this time it's the same method."

It is also to make him unconscious, and then throw him into the water, hoping that he will drown in the water.

Just once in a closed box and once in a river.

Although rain, dew and rivers are both related to water, it is not easy to come up with related rituals, but the pattern is too similar.

"Maybe they think that last time you were given a chance to wake up and escape, this time there may be fewer escapes. It may also be that they have found no other way."

Sinking directly to the bottom of the river is of course faster and more effective than letting the water slowly submerge the body.

Yu Jin suddenly felt that the sacrifice on the fourth day might not intend to kill him.

But there are still problems.If they just wanted to kill him, what method should they use?The easiest way is to beat him to death with a club while he is asleep, so that he can secretly poison his drinking water for fear of confrontation.

He also felt that he offended the gods and wanted to kill him, but he chose to follow the sacrificial method, which is actually a very contradictory thing.

He frowned and analyzed: "If they want to kill me, they don't need to be limited to ritual methods... unless a person with status strongly advocates it. Besides, they know that I have weapons that can destroy the doors of boxes and secret rooms. If you want to kill me, you will definitely search me first to make sure there is nothing special on me. But last time I didn’t change the clothes myself, they should know that the weapon is not hidden on me. Unless..."

Unless the sorceress didn't tell them that.

Now he wondered what was in the bowl of water in the morning.He thought it was just an ordinary drug, but now it doesn't look that simple.

Yu Jin's eyes flickered for a moment, he stopped talking about this topic, instead buried his head on the side of his neck, murmured a few words, and fell asleep again in a daze.

The next day he woke up by himself, sat on the shore and waited for the witch to pick him up.

When the sun had risen above the branches, the sorceress was nowhere to be seen. Instead, he saw a few ordinary villagers appearing with salvage tools. They found him sitting on the shore, his face changed drastically, and they exchanged a few words fiercely with each other, and ran away. back to the village.

Yu Jin could only straighten his clothes, and followed them back to the village slowly.

He still doesn't know the structure of the village, so he didn't dare to wander around before.

He didn't deliberately hide his whereabouts, and the villagers in front of him turned their heads from time to time, with ugly expressions, as if they were accompanied by evil spirits.

But they didn't dare to fight directly, for fear that he would cause some disaster again.

Yu Jin returned to Yu Cheng's house safely, and saw him sitting by the door melancholy, holding a box in his hand.

When Yu Cheng saw him coming back, his eyes lit up, and he was a little worried.

Yu Jin looked at the box in his hand, which he dug out in the mountains, and asked cautiously, "What is this?"

Yu Cheng frowned: "Are you here? This is sent to you by the sorceress, she said she will not come today. The clothes are here, you can wear them if you want, pack them up and go to the room with the big red lanterns in the evening House of."

"Isn't a house with red lanterns an ancestral hall?"

Yu Cheng was stunned: "Although it is, there are other houses, right? I remember that the lanterns in the ancestral hall have not been lit for a long time."

"Did the witch say why you didn't come?" Yu Jin took the box, opened it, and inside was a crumpled charm with a hole in it.

"She didn't say it." Yu Cheng also leaned over to look, "What is this? A spell?"

Yu Jin closed the box: "It's nothing. Usually where is the witch at this time?"

"I know where the witch's house is, and I can take you to see it." Yu Cheng also felt strange, but saw him throw the box into the house casually, and shouted, "Don't you take it?"

Yu Jin had already entered the room to wash up, when a voice came from afar: "I don't need it."

Yu Cheng couldn't figure it out, so he could only wait for him to clean up and take him to the witch's house.I met many villagers along the way, and they all looked at them with hostility.

As soon as I entered the house of the sorceress, I saw a middle-aged woman crying, and rushed over to grab Yu Jin's clothes: "Where is my mother-in-law? Where is my mother-in-law?"

Yu Jin calmly and resolutely took his hand away, stood behind Yu Cheng, and asked him to support her: "What's wrong with your mother-in-law?"

"My mother-in-law is gone!"

Yu Cheng was surprised and asked: "The witch is gone?"

Seeing that the middle-aged woman was at a loss, his heart softened, and he comforted her in a kind voice.Yu Jin took the opportunity to look around the room, and made sure that every time she saw the sorceress, she would leave Yu Cheng here alone to comfort the middle-aged woman.

Yu Cheng was in a dilemma, but the middle-aged woman was crying miserably, and she looked like she was going to beat Yu Jin, as if she was sure that he had killed the sorceress, so he could only stay and drag her, preventing her from chasing and beating her.

After Yu Jin came out, he went to the ancestral hall.There is indeed a pair of lanterns hanging at the entrance of the ancestral hall, but it is only during the day, so it is not clear whether the lanterns will be lit at night.He touched the pillars at the entrance of the ancestral hall. The color was dull and the paint was peeling off.

There is a coffin in the middle of the ancestral hall, just like the one he saw the first night.

He pushed open the coffin, and the witch was lying inside, already out of breath.

Corpse spots had appeared on the corpse, and it seemed that he had been dead for some time.

The ice cubes that had been placed in the coffin had already melted, and because no one came to replace the ice, the degree of corruption of the corpse returned to normal.

Yu Jin put the coffin lid on, and went back to Yu Cheng's house in silence.

Sure enough, the sorceress didn't come at night, but another group of people came. They were all thick-backed and strong. It seemed that they had done a lot of farm work and their physical strength was far beyond ordinary people.

They all gathered in front of the door, and they looked fierce.Yu Cheng couldn't help taking two steps back, and secretly asked Yu Jin, "Why are there so many people?"

Except for the first day, he had never seen such a posture.

Yu Jin was wearing a bright red wedding dress, which made his whole face more bright.He carefully straightened the folds of his clothes, raised his head slightly, and walked out: "Probably because today's ceremony is important."

The villagers enthusiastically offered to send him to the wedding scene.

"No need, I'll go by myself." Yu Jin glanced coldly, and quietly lit a cluster of flames at the person who was going to press him up.

The man was so hot that he yelled, and he didn't even dare to be impulsive with others.

A middle-aged woman stood up and said she was just leading the way for him.

Yu Jin had an impression of this person, in the morning he said that he would kill him to avenge the witch, but in the evening he was full of enthusiasm.

Yu Jin let her go ahead and kept a distance from her.

After walking for a while, the middle-aged woman stopped in front of a house, with cold eyes, but a smile on the corner of her mouth, telling him that the place was here.

Yu Jin shook his head: "Not here."

The middle-aged woman looked impatiently: "This is it."

"There is no red lantern on the door." Yu Jin looked at the ostentatious red light in the distance, his eyes were clear, "If I guessed correctly, what is waiting for me in this house should be a group of thugs."

The villagers thought that he had brought disaster, and if he was allowed to perform the ceremony, it would definitely bring about more disasters. They wanted to kill him before the ceremony was completely over to appease the anger of the gods.

They tried to kill every time, but it was a pity that Yu Jin escaped every time, and now it was the moment of all-or-nothing.

After he finished speaking, the face of the middle-aged woman changed obviously, and she shouted something loudly.

Yu Jin's body was ignited with a flame as gorgeous as Xifu, like a phoenix in a ball of flames, facing the middle-aged woman and other villagers, he showed a cold and mocking smile: "Unfortunately, you can't stop me."

The middle-aged woman closest to him screamed and covered her face to avoid it.

"I'm not going to do anything to you, I just want to complete the ceremony."

The thugs hiding in the dark were afraid of the flames on his body, so they didn't dare to show their heads for the time being, but followed behind him with sullen expressions.

Yu Jin walks all the way with the flames floating all the way, surrounded by the soul fires of countless immortals, illuminating the whole street extraordinarily brightly, like daytime.

He found the newly painted ancestral hall with red lanterns hanging at the door, pushed the door open and entered.

The ancestral hall has just been repaired, and now there are red silk cloths hanging everywhere, which looks very festive.

In the center of the ancestral hall, there is a dark coffin.The lid of the coffin was tightly closed, and the scent of spices seemed to leak from the gap.

He closed the door of the ancestral hall and pushed open the lid of the coffin.

There was nothing in the coffin, except for some spices.
