[Comprehensive] Mirror of Death and Life

Seeing that it was us three children who came, Master Shancha didn't say anything, the woman next to him was upset at first: "What, just these three brats, the Uchiha clan is too contemptuous of people!"

I glanced at her holding Shancha's hand and didn't say a word. Anyway, it was Shancha who made the decision, not this woman, so I pretended I didn't hear what she said.Hui, on the other hand, was short-tempered, and immediately pulled his face down, probably because the woman was expensively dressed and didn't immediately quarrel.

Shan Cha was obviously also a little surprised, the look of expectation on his face faded a bit, but he politely asked me who was the leader: "Are there only three of you?"

I nodded: "The reputation of the Uchiha clan is guaranteed in the ninja world. Isn't that why Shancha-sama chose our family?"

Shan Cha looked me up and down, nodded, didn't say anything, and explained to me the problem of the house behind me.

It turned out that he bought this house three months ago. It was originally intended for the lady Mengzi next to him to live in, but something went wrong before he moved in. A samurai who was in charge of guarding the gate saw something wrong at night. Good thing, ran to report to Shan Cha the next day.The latter was also a little confused when he bought the house at a low price. Now that he heard such a report from his subordinates, he suddenly felt that he had found the answer. Isn't it why the price of a haunted house is so high.Reluctantly, the house has already been bought, and the former owner has run away without a trace. He can only hold his nose and endure it, and direct his staff to ask the onmyoji to come and get rid of the ghost.As a result, the onmyoji came out with a bruised nose and a swollen face shortly after he entered, saying that the things inside were so powerful that he couldn't handle it.

After that, Shan Cha found three more onmyojis one after another, all of them had the same fate as the first one, so that he, Shan Cha, became famous among the onmyojis.The four escaped onmyojis said that the ghosts in Master Shancha's house had practiced for hundreds of years, and they were so powerful that no ordinary person could suppress them. arrive.Just when he was at a loss, Miss Mengzi gave him advice, since onmyojis are not good enough, try ninjas, aren't all powerful ninjas who can easily attract wind, fire, thunder and lightning, much more powerful than those onmyojis.

So with the idea of ​​giving it a try, Master Shancha asked the Uchiha clan to make a commission.And how could the ninjas crawling out of the dead believe that there are such things as ghosts? The free commissions are not for nothing, and the clansmen who took the order just laughed and pushed the three of us out, that is, giving us three children Come and play.

Of course, the latter paragraph is my speculation. When facing Shancha, I still assured with a serious face that only sending us three children in the clan is definitely not a contempt. There are no such creatures as children in the ninja world.

Master Shancha threw me the key to the house, and left with the unconvinced Mengzi in doubt.I saw them walking away, and turned to look at the mansion behind the wall.This is a typical Japanese-style house, but it occupies a large area. It is surrounded by a low wall on the outside, and the low wall is decorated with blue tiles. The two wooden doors are tightly locked with iron chains, and the courtyard cannot be seen. Case.

Now that you are here, you have to go in and have a look first.I went forward to unlock the lock on the iron chain, and pushed open the wooden door. With a creak, two varnished doors opened inward.A cobbled path winds its way to the main entrance of the house.When I walked in, I saw that the yard was overgrown with wild flowers and weeds. Obviously, no one took care of it for a long time. A circular shallow pond was also dry, and it was full of rotten dark brown fallen leaves. Above the pond was a maple tree. Tree, before late autumn, the four-claw-shaped leaves are only faintly reddish at the edges, and are generally gray-green.

The main house looks much better than the unpopular courtyard. The pillars on both sides seem to have a new layer of black paint, and the wooden boards on the floor are also very stable and tight, but there are some spider webs in the corners.Pushing open the door, the house smells like no one has lived in for a long time. There is a broken vase on the floor of the entrance. I don't know if it was accidentally broken by the previous owner before leaving.

Hui and Yazhi and I decided to split up, explored the house and then met in the east corridor.

Originally, I rejected this plan. The horror movies I watched in my previous life told me that if we split up, someone would have problems. However, considering that once I objected, Hui and Yazhi would laugh at me for being timid. The most important thing is that they I will definitely stick to this plan more, I can only give up.Hui's side was better. Yazhi was on a mission for the second time. I was always worried about her, so I secretly followed her and followed her to finish the part she was in charge of.

Because most of the furniture in the house has been moved away, as long as the door is opened, everything can be seen at a glance, so the inspection is very fast.I saw that Yazhi was going to be finished soon, so I immediately turned around to check the rooms I was in charge of.

Although I tried to increase the speed as much as possible, it was still quite late when I arrived at the meeting point. Yazhi and Hui were already sitting in the corridor dangling their legs and chatting.Looking at the relaxed backs of the two of them, I couldn't help but sigh, they really thought they were here for an outing.

Walked over and patted each of them on the shoulder, asking if there was any gain.I know the situation on Yazhi's side, and she was the first to shake her head and say that she didn't find anything.I checked mainly the master bedroom and the study room and tea room next to it, but found nothing.

But Hui was in charge of the kitchen, but he had some gains.He said some leftover firewood was found in the stove.

Yazhi and I followed Hui to the kitchen, and sure enough, we found some black firewood in the stove, but they had been burnt and fell apart with a light touch.The little girl Yazhi didn't touch it because she thought it was dirty, but she was puzzled when Hui and I stretched one in to check it: "What's so interesting about this, isn't it the leftover from the previous owner's burning?"

Hui withdrew his hand, shook his head and sighed: "You are really a young lady. This kind of firewood looks like it was newly burnt, no more than a week at most. Master Shan Cha said that this house has been bought for three months, of course it was not burnt by the previous owner. "

Yazhi still couldn't understand: "So what, maybe it's the onmyojis who came here before, who are thirsty or hungry and cook something to drink or eat here. I know those onmyojis are very delicate." Her The first task was to escort a well-known onmyoji, and now he said it in a resentful tone, which seemed quite emotional.

I wiped off the black ash from my hand and looked around the kitchen, and found that the stove was also clean, the only place where there was no dust in the whole kitchen, thought for a while and said: "It's possible what Yazhi said, let's take a look. We'll stay here tonight, maybe we'll find something. Now we're searching the house carefully, with the focus on seeing where there's no dust or where there's no cobweb."

This is much more troublesome than pushing the door—take a look—close the door before. At my insistence, we didn't act separately, so the speed of investigation was very slow.I was opening a paper door when I heard Hui behind me whispering to Yazhi: "Jing is really afraid of ghosts, you see he's so scared now that he doesn't want to move apart."

I really want to punch him back and be separated from my teammates in a strange place. Once is not enough, you want to come a second time!But I endured it, clenched my fist and still didn't make a move, lest he call me "annoyed" again.

By the time I looked around, it was already dark.We randomly found an empty room, lit candles, ate some Bingliang pills, and started counting and found that there was no place where dust had accumulated.The house is so big, dust is everywhere, and there are only three places that are not dusty and bright as new. One is the kitchen stove, the second is the closet of a bedroom, and the third is the toilet.

I sneered, and concluded: "Either this is a ghost who eats, sleeps, and goes to the toilet a lot, or someone is pretending to be a ghost."

This guy Hui sat across from me, rolled his eyes up with a candle on his chin, and said faintly: "I'm a ghost~~~ Did you kill me~~~~Woo~~~~~"

With a blank expression on my face, I stretched out my hand to hold his wrist holding the candle and lifted it up.Hui was so hot that he jumped up and threw all the candles aside. Fortunately, Yazhi was quick to step on it with his hands, otherwise it would catch fire, and the culprit was jumping around the room clutching his chin: "It hurts!"

Suddenly falling from light to darkness, I'm not used to it yet, and the sound of howling ghosts and wolves in my ears made me even more restless.Just as he wanted Hui to be quiet, he heard a rustling sound outside the door.

I immediately tensed up and shouted in a low voice: "Don't talk!" Hui was quite smart in matters of business. The thing seemed to realize that he was being noticed, and immediately stopped his movements and lost his voice.

After waiting for a while, there was still no movement outside, and Hui couldn't help it. He didn't hear it at first, but now he became more suspicious: "Jing, what did you hear?" Voice speaks.

I shook my head, I didn't know if he saw it in the dark, and I walked quietly to the sliding door against the wall. Yazhi was sitting on the ground with his back to the door, but now he half-kneeled up and took out Kunai, facing the paper door.

My eyes gradually got used to the darkness, I saw Hui standing on the other side of the sliding door, so I nodded to him, at this moment I heard the thin rustling sound again, like the sound of clothes being dragged on the floor...

The sound fluctuated from far to near, and it was difficult to recognize the specific direction. Just when I couldn't bear to open the door, another sound sounded, this time it was a woman sobbing.

It was very quiet in the mansion at night, there were only three of us in the empty mansion, it was really creepy to hear this strange movement at this moment.I squeezed the shuriken tightly, took a deep breath, and raised my hand towards Hui on the opposite side.

He was also obviously frightened, and he paused for three seconds before reacting, and he also raised his right hand and put it on the sliding door.

I took a deep breath and opened the door abruptly. Immediately, the two paper doors opened to both sides at the same time. The door was wide open, and the bud branch in the middle yelled: "I saw it!" and jumped up and rushed out. I quickly followed.

The sound of the clothes being dragged and the woman's cry disappeared, only the footsteps of Yazhi in front, me and Hui running behind were heard, and I wondered as I ran, why didn't I hear the other person's footsteps?

Turning to the right along the corridor, Yazhi's speed gradually slowed down, and finally stopped, looking around, obviously lost.

Because Hui and I didn't see anything except her, we had no choice but to stop.

Yazhi looked around for a long time, then shook his head at me: "It's gone."

I turned my head and looked around. There was a dark straight corridor in front of me. On the left was the same dark yard, and on the right was the wall of the house. How could I lose it after turning a corner?

"Yazhi, what did you see just now?" Hui asked the question in my heart.

But she didn't answer right away, she frowned and thought for a long time before hesitating, "It seems like it's a piece of clothing?"
