All the hairs on my body stood up all of a sudden. I quickly touched the switch on the wall at the door and pressed it a few times. The lights in the room didn't turn on.
"broken!"
I immediately realized something was wrong, so I quickly went to the incense table, took out a lighter and lit the candle.
The candle flame was pale and pale, and there was obviously no wind in the room, but it kept swaying, as if someone was blowing the candle with his mouth.
I quickly covered the candle with my hand, and then glanced towards the coffin.
The coffin was tightly covered, but the sound just now clearly came from inside the coffin.
I guess this corpse may have been tampered with, and it may turn into a corpse again.
So I quickly pushed the coffin open and took a look.
There was no change in the corpse. It was lying well in the coffin, and there were no signs of rising or mutating.
I was a little worried, so I held the candle and took a closer look.
Unexpectedly, as soon as it came closer, the corpse suddenly opened its eyes. The eyes were so wide that my face was even reflected in the pupils.
I was immediately startled and subconsciously took two steps back.
But who would have thought that as he stepped back, he suddenly bumped into something. It felt like he had hit someone!
This time, I was really frightened. I quickly held up the candle, turned around and looked over, and found that it was Gu Xiaorou.
Why did this girl come to the mourning hall again in the middle of the night? And he tilted his head with an expression that was hard to describe!
"Why are you here?"
I looked at her seriously.
Gu Xiaorou's face was livid, and she turned her head slightly to look at her shoulder, but she didn't say anything, she just looked scared!
When I saw her expression, my scalp suddenly exploded. She was obviously caught by something!
Thinking of this, I quickly raised the candle in my hand towards her shoulder, and at the same time pulled Gu Xiaorou over and pulled her directly into my arms.
At that moment, I clearly saw a head hanging down on Gu Xiaorou's shoulder, but then the candle went out, as if someone had blown it out all at once.
Gu Xiaorou was so frightened that she hugged me tightly and buried her whole face into my chest.
I put one hand around her waist and quickly took a few steps back. With the other hand, I quickly threw away the candle and took out the lighter from my pocket.
As a result, before I could light the lighter, I suddenly hit the coffin behind me, and then I fell flat on my back and fell directly into the coffin.
Gu Xiaorou was held in my arms and naturally fell into the coffin with her.
"ah......"
She was immediately frightened and screamed.
But now I feel calmer, because I know that this kind of thing can harm people, and usually relies on scaring people to force them into dangerous areas, so as long as you stay calm and rational, and don't get caught, you'll basically be fine. .
Thinking of this, I quickly supported the coffin board with one hand, hugged Gu Xiaorou and pulled it out of the coffin. Then I took out two charms from my pocket, stuffed one into Gu Xiaorou's mouth, and pressed the other under my tongue. .
Then I half-knelt on the ground and looked around cautiously.
Gu Xiaorou was half lying on the ground, her arms around my neck, and she didn't make a sound.
It was so dark in the room at the moment that you couldn't see any lights, but after staring in the darkness for a long time, people would still get used to it and be able to roughly see the outline of the room.
I scanned around and saw nothing, but I could clearly feel that there was something in the room.
This kind of thing cannot be seen with the naked eye, not to mention it is so dark and there is nothing else on me except the talisman. This is not very good for me.
So I had to slowly help Gu Xiaorou up, then hold her in my arms all the way to the door, planning to go out first.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I took action, there was movement in the coffin. I looked back in a hurry and saw that the corpse was already sitting up.
Although he couldn't see clearly in the dark, he could still make out the outline of a human figure, sitting upright in the coffin.
Sure enough, the corpse was raised!
I quickly pulled Gu Xiaorou and ran out of the mourning hall, and then hurried back to the house to grab the guy.
It is no small matter to pick up the corpse at this time, because there were unclean things in the mourning hall just now. If it were Gu Xiaorou's mother, it is very likely that the Yin spirit would enter the body and use the corpse to resurrect the soul, and then it would become a Yin corpse. Yes, this kind of thing is extremely difficult to deal with.
Moreover, Gu Xiaorou's mother had committed suicide by hanging herself, and she was extremely resentful. Once her body was resurrected, the consequences would be disastrous.
By the time I got my things and rushed back, Gu Changqing and others had already heard the commotion. Everyone gathered around the entrance of the mourning hall, but no one dared to go in for a while.
It was dark inside the mourning hall at the moment, and the atmosphere was indescribably weird. Under such circumstances, not to mention them, even I was a little afraid to go in.
But now that things are right in front of us, do we have to do it even if we don’t dare?
I could only bite the bullet and got in again, and wrapped red rope around the door, intertwining it into a net to seal the door.
The talisman was probably of no use at the moment. Things like the Inferi were physical after all, so the talisman had very little effect, so I decisively copied the Thunder Ruler Order in my hand and used the other hand to I held a flashlight.
I looked into the mourning hall with my flashlight. The coffin was empty, but I didn't see the body.
Now I'm even more panicked. Not being able to see it is the scariest thing, because you don't know when or where it will suddenly pop out. Not to mention that it is easy to suffer losses if you are hard to guard against. Just being scared can scare people half to death. .
My palms holding the thunder ruler were already sweating now. I really wanted to turn around and go out, guarding the outside with Gu Changqing and the others.
But I am in this business after all, and there is no room for retreat when faced with this kind of thing.
As I walked into the mourning hall, I scanned the surroundings vigilantly, looking for traces of the corpse.
But I searched around and couldn't find it. The mourning hall was empty, there was nothing at all, and the body just disappeared inexplicably!
Could it be that when I went back to get the guy, it had already run away?
But that shouldn’t be the case, right? If it really became an Inferi, even if it ran away, it would only be someone from the Gu family who ran away. How could that thing run away? Unless someone controls it!
This possibility is not impossible. Gu Xiaorou's mother just hanged herself last night. She ran back home before her seventh soul came back. This was obviously caused by someone.
Moreover, this method of controlling evil ghosts is not uncommon. If one uses magic to control ghosts, and then uses ghosts to control corpses, it is not impossible. In that way, one can completely control Yin corpses.
But what is the purpose of the other party doing this? Isn't the purpose of controlling the Inferi to harm the Gu family? Then why does the Infernal Corpse disappear instead of harming people?
