Just now Zhang Tiantian mentioned that her mother said she couldn't go out at night, otherwise something bad would happen.
This sounds like an exaggeration used by parents to persuade their daughters to go home early, but it is different when it reaches the ears of Jiang Yan and the man in the black hat.
They are all ghost masters and are extremely sensitive to supernatural phenomena, so when they heard this, they immediately looked around with vigilance.
The village was very quiet late at night, with only a few houses still turning on their lights and the faint sound of television.
This is obviously a normal village, and there is nothing unusual in the darkness.
"Tiantian, why did your mother say that? Is it true that something strange will happen if you go out at night?" Jiang Yan asked.
"Weird thing? I've never heard of this. It's an unwritten rule in our village not to go out at night. My mother always told me this when I was a child. Enough talk, go home quickly!" Zhang Tiantian sped up after speaking. The pace seemed to be a little scared inside.
Jiang Yan and the man in the black hat looked at each other. They were still a little confused, but they still speeded up and followed.
The three of them took one step at a time and soon arrived at Zhang Tiantian's house.
"We're finally here. My mother should be asleep by this time." Zhang Tiantian gasped, took out the key from her schoolbag, and prepared to open the door.
Jiang Yan and the man in the black hat quietly looked at the bungalow in front of them from behind. Zhang Tiantian's home was a one-story bungalow with white tiles on the walls. The green rusty door showed that the bungalow had a certain age.
After opening the door, the three of them entered the bungalow. The layout inside was also very simple, with a living room, two bedrooms, and a locked room.
"Okay, I'm tired after traveling for so long. The conditions at my house are relatively simple and I don't have any tea. You can drink some hot water first."
After returning home, Zhang Tiantian felt much relieved and leisurely gave them two cups of warm water in a disposable cup.
"Thank you." Jiang Yan took the cup and did not drink it in a hurry, but continued to look at the living room.
This living room looks very ordinary. The only thing worth noting is that there is a black and white portrait hanging in the center of the living room. The person in the portrait is a handsome man wearing a Chinese tunic suit.
The man's face was pale, his eyes were half-closed, and he was staring at everything in the living room with a peaceful expression.
The man in black hat also noticed the portrait. His many years of experience as a ghost master told him that there was nothing wrong with the portrait.
After that, everyone began to rest. There were only two bedrooms in the bungalow, and Zhang Tiantian's mother was sleeping in one. Jiang Yan had to sleep in the same room as Zhang Tiantian.
As for the man in the black hat, he can only sleep on the sofa. But he didn't complain. After all, as a ghost controller, the need to eat and sleep was basically gone. As long as he was in a safe environment, he was the best rest.
Before going to bed, Zhang Tiantian locked the door to the living room and said to the man in the black hat seriously:
"Don't go out at night, otherwise something bad will happen."
"I know." The man in the black hat said impatiently. He didn't want to be scolded by a little girl.
And even if he wanted to go out, this little girl couldn't stop him.
It may be safe not to go out after dark, but the man in the black hat also wants to know the reason behind it. After all, dying in the unknown is the most terrifying thing.
After Zhang Tiantian left, she turned off the lights in the living room, and the entire living room suddenly became dark. The man in the black hat who was lying on the sofa suddenly felt a chill.
After all, the darkness of the bus with its lights off had left a psychological shadow on him, and the sudden darkness in the living room inevitably startled him.
The entire living room was extremely quiet, except for the ticking sound of the clock. Even the bedroom where Jiang Yan was located was extremely quiet.
"It seems that college student can't do it. He went to bed so early." The man in the black hat sneered.
At this moment, a "bang" sound suddenly came from the living room, as if something fell to the ground.
The man in the black hat immediately became alert after hearing this, but he did not act yet. After all, this might be the sound of some small objects in the living room colliding. It is normal for rats to exist in the countryside.
However, less than a minute later, there was another "squeak" sound in the darkness, as if something was rubbing on the ground, getting closer and closer to him.
At this moment, the man in the black hat couldn't sit still. The sound was obviously not made by a small animal such as a mouse.
He didn't dare to move around in the dark. It was safest to stay in his current position until he figured out the situation.
Fortunately, he had memorized the location of the light switch. So, without hesitation, he urged the black trench coat to extend the cuffs of the trench coat, preparing to touch the switch.
It is obviously not an easy task to control the cuffs of the windbreaker to hit the switch in the dark, but the man in the black hat was lucky this time and pressed the switch in one go.
"Snapped."
The light switch was pressed, but the darkness of the living room continued and the lights did not come on.
"Is it a bad contact?"
The man in the black hat panicked and started flipping the switch repeatedly, but the light still didn't come on.
At the same time, the "squeaking" sound in the darkness seemed to be aware of the abnormality, and moved faster, and was about to reach the man in the black hat in a few seconds.
At this time, the man in the black hat didn't know the danger of his situation, and he was about to suffer an unknown supernatural attack.
After all, he was an experienced ghost master. At this critical moment, he calmed down and decisively gave up the light switch. Then he took out a cigarette from the inner pocket of his windbreaker and prepared to light it.
This cigarette is not an ordinary cigarette, but a supernatural item. The organization calls it a ghost cigarette.
The ghost cigarette is a very practical supernatural item. Its light can illuminate unknown supernatural beings, and the burning smoke can drive away evil spirits to a certain extent.
When the man in black hat took out his lighter and ghost cigarette, the "squeaking" sound came right in front of him.
At this moment, the man in the black hat lit the ghost cigarette, and at the same time, the "squeaking" sound disappeared again.
The ghost cigarette burned and gave off a faint green light. With this green light, the man in the black hat finally saw clearly the scene in front of him.
At this moment, what was in front of him was the black and white portrait, which was less than half a meter away from him.
In the faint green light, the man with the black and white portrait stared calmly ahead, and those eyes seemed to have discovered him.
Under the green light of the ghost incense, the lifeless man in the portrait seemed to come back to life, and his expression began to slowly change.
It seems that the squeaking sound just now was caused by the portrait moving on the ground.
"This thing wants to kill me?" The man in the black hat broke out in a cold sweat. He took a puff of cigarette without hesitation, preparing to blow a smoke ring to force the portrait back.
"etc!"
At this moment, the man in the portrait suddenly spoke.
The man in the black hat was startled, and at the same time gave up the idea of blowing smoke rings, but still stepped back a little to keep his distance.
He knew that ghosts did not have the ability to communicate with humans, except of course some aliens. So this portrait should not be a ghost.
Seeing that he stopped attacking, the man in the portrait breathed a sigh of relief, and his color became lighter at the same time. Then his expression became nervous again, and he said in a hurried tone:
"Quick! Get out of here! That girl is a ghost!"
