Exorcism?
Why should they exorcise evil spirits when they themselves are ghosts?
There are so many weird things about this house.
However, for safety reasons, Anxi changed the red lantern into a [never-extinguishing red lantern to exorcise evil spirits] before walking back to her room.
As soon as she walked back into the room, Anxi saw the red lanterns placed on the table. For fear that they would not be able to find the same one, Anxi placed them in a conspicuous place in the room.
However, Anxi has completed the transformation of the red lantern outside, so the one inside the house is of no use for the time being.
She didn't touch the lantern on the table, leaving it as it was.
He only lit the small oil lamp on the table and rolled onto the bed and lay down.
Silence in the courtyard
Occasionally there is the sound of the wind rustling the leaves.
Listening to the pure natural sleep-aiding sound effects and smelling the fine incense in the room, Anxi gradually fell asleep while lying on the cushioned wooden bed.
"Dingling~"
"Hai Shi has arrived——turn off the lights————"
The shrill voice of the paper man spread throughout the entire mansion.
With this sentence of "turn off the lights", the lanterns in the house were quickly dimmed one after another.
The mansion, which was originally decorated with red silk and seemed somewhat popular and festive, was now as quiet as a vigil.
The wind was still blowing the grass and trees.
Anxi turned over in bed. She never put out the oil lamp in her room. Having light in a dark and solemn place like the Geng Family Mansion can also give yourself some sense of security.
But in a dark house, this inconspicuous light seems to attract something extra.
"Hua Hua——Hua Hua——"
The sound of wind outside the window seemed to have become stronger, and the paper windows made a sound.
However, the main purpose of this strong wind is not the window paper, but the lantern hanging on the lintel.
The lantern was blown high by the wind and tilted at an angle close to a right angle. The candlelight inside the lantern also flickered, as if it was about to go out.
"puff!"
A lantern in the north room went out without warning.
But soon, there was a sound of hurried footsteps in the house, and then the red light lit up again.
"Hua Hua——Hua Hua————"
After seeing the red light in the house, the wind suddenly blew harder through the small courtyard.
"Puff puff!"
More lanterns were extinguished by the wind, but immediately, the lanterns in the room where the lanterns at the door were extinguished were quickly lit up.
Except for one room on the south side.
I don't know why, but there was a panicked sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the room, but the sound lasted for a while and no lantern was turned on. There was even the sound of broken rice paper and a woman's exclamation.
Then, the wind stopped.
The entire courtyard fell into an eerie silence.
Until the sound of something being dragged on the ground broke the silence.
The sound sounded like a person lying on the ground, using only two hands to support his body and dragging him forward.
The people in the room became even more anxious when they heard the sound. She calmed down and simply opened the door to light the lantern outside.
But opening the door made her regret it.
Outside the door, there was a familiar face to her.
Blue skin, huge black eyes, the face of a frog whose body was cut off in half while eating.
She is still lying outside the door with only half of her body, and all the exposed skin on her face and arms are densely covered with creamy yellow round warts of different sizes.
"Quack..."
The frog's dark eyes reflected the horrified expression of the woman opposite. She used her remaining hands to prop up her upper body, dragging her dripping internal organs with her, and suddenly jumped up and rushed towards the person opposite.
"ah!!!!!"
The shrill screams penetrated the entire mansion.
But there was no response from the house, and no paper figures got up to check on the situation. They seemed to know what was happening here.
The same goes for the people in the small courtyard. They were all shivering in their rooms, holding the red lanterns tightly in their arms in fear, for fear that a gust of wind would blow out the candles.
In the rooms outside the house where the lanterns are still on, lanterns and matches have been prepared early and can be lit at any time.
People are in panic, even if the paper man says that only those who light the lanterns in the house cannot sleep, no ghosts or people will listen to it.
But this does not include Anxi, who lives in the third room to the east and was just asleep when she was awakened by a scream.
"……What's wrong?"
Anxi opened her eyes confused and sleepy.
She lay on the bed and turned her head to look outside the house. The red lantern in front of her door was still shining steadily.
"Did I hear it wrong?" Anxi picked her ears, wondering if the scream had appeared in her dream.
"Forget it, ah..."
Anxi yawned, adjusted her pillow and prepared to go back to sleep.
"There will be more things to deal with tomorrow, save your energy." She murmured to herself, closing her eyes and trying to fall asleep again.
But at this time.
"Hua Hua——Hua Hua————"
The wind started blowing again.
"Puff puff!"
This time, the lanterns that were not blown out last time were dimmed.
It's a pity that the people in these rooms have been prepared for it.
As soon as the lantern outside the door went out, they immediately struck a match and lit the candle. For a while, almost every room was lit up with lanterns.
But the wind continued to blow.
Because there is still one room left in the east corner with a lantern shining brightly and dangling at the door.
The things waiting outside the door to pour into the room know very well that the people in this room are sleeping, so they are the best targets here.
"Hua Hua——Hua Hua————"
The wind is getting louder and louder.
It feels it is destined to win.
"Hua Hua——Hua Hua————"
The blowing wind picked up all the fallen leaves on the ground, forming a small whirlwind that rotated and rolled in the yard.
The lantern hanging on the door was naturally blown.
The lantern followed the strong wind and turned 360 degrees, but after turning back, it still kept the candlelight.
"…………"
There was a brief pause in the sound of the wind.
It seems that he is doubting life.
"Hua Hua——Hua Hua————"
It tried another gust of wind.
But the lantern seemed to be mocking its overestimation. After turning around a few times, the flames flickered and burned even brighter.
“Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoosh!!!!”
This time, there was some anger in the wind, and it felt that it had been insulted.
Now it gave up pretending and only blew at the lantern in front of Anxi's door. It blew the lantern and turned it around. It was bound to compete with the lantern in front of it that would never go out no matter how much it was blown.
The wind was so loud that it almost broke the paper windows.
The ghosts and people hiding in the house holding lanterns were all trembling with fear, fearing that the wind would accidentally blow into the house and blow out the lanterns in their arms.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!"
The sound of wind alone intensified outside the door.
It's like a dancer reaching the climax of her performance on stage and entering a state of selflessness.
But unfortunately, this is just a one-man show.
inside the house.
"Hululu..."
After an exhausting day, Anxi snored in a comfortable and safe environment.
