Zhang Zitong exploded when Zhang Lei said, "Your sister-in-law!"
In an instant, he turned from a scared little quail into a crazy old hen, and gave Zhang Lei a severe scolding.
Zhang Lei was obviously scolded in front of so many people, but not only was this guy not angry, he even shamelessly took two steps forward.
"Zitong, listen to me, aren't I worried that you just made a slip of the tongue?
"Besides, isn't our matter settled? There's nothing to hide, right?"
Zhang Lei turned to me and said.
"Brother, why don't you take the lantern brother? Do you think that's okay?"
After saying that, regardless of the fact that he was still wearing a ghost mask, he glared at me.
I was speechless at the time. I didn't realize that this guy was so virtuous. He looked like a tough guy for nothing, and he looked like a wretch.
"No, brother.
"This lantern must be held by a woman, otherwise it will directly cause fire."
I gave up the idea of Zhang Lei at that time.
"Get away from me, you shameful thing."
Zhang Zitong couldn't stand it anymore, so he stamped his feet, turned around and walked out.
"Hey, Zitong, wait for me.
"Knife, hurry up! The puppet hand is pointing this way."
Zhang Lei hurriedly followed.
Zhang Zitong walked in front angrily, completely forgetting the fear just now. The puppet in his hand seemed to be alive, constantly guiding the direction ahead.
We hurriedly got into the jeep, driven by Zhang Lei, and stopped in front of a remote alley.
This place is full of remnants that have been burned before. Only a small three-story foreign-style building at the end is relatively intact.
The doll is pointing to the western-style building.
Zhang Lei opened the car door and we jumped out of the car.
This foreign-style building is a European-style building with a steeple. There is a clock hanging outside the third floor and a cross below.
"It turns out this is here, no wonder, I should have thought of it earlier?"
Zhang Zitong and Zhang Lei were stunned for a moment when they looked at the foreign-style building.
"Brother Zhang, what on earth is this place?"
I asked as I walked forward.
"This street is also called Ghost Street, but it's different from the Ghost Market. Legend has it that this place was actually haunted."
Zhang Lei gave us a quick introduction.
“This used to be a Catholic church, surrounded by five or six courtyards, and it was once a famous place. We didn’t know it at the time, but there were actually many leftover spies hidden here.
"Later, I don't know if they had internal strife or something. Five years ago, a fire suddenly burned down the whole yard. The building was not burned down, but dozens of people died inside."
"Because it was still a special period of destroying the Four Olds, and the place was too remote, it has always been so desolate."
We had already arrived in front of the foreign-style building, and sure enough, the building looked dark and smoky.
“I don’t know when later, the news of a haunting came out.
"It was said that someone passed by accidentally and saw the bright lights in this building, and there were sounds of talking, singing, and dancing...
"We also investigated but found nothing."
Zhang Lei shook his head.
Originally, he thought that ghosts were all nonsense, but after tonight, standing at the door of the church, he always felt that a ghost would pop out of it at any time.
"Xiao Dao, what should we do? Are we going in?"
"No, Brother Zhang, the three of us are going in. You wait at the door."
I shook my head and looked at him.
"What? I'm waiting at the door. How can this be done?"
Zhang Lei was shocked, and then he didn't agree with anything else.
Isn't this a joke?
He is the eldest brother and the captain of the criminal police. How can he let his younger brother rush ahead in such a dangerous matter?
Besides, there is Zhang Zitong. Is this my future wife? You should protect it yourself.
I hurriedly explained to him.
"Listen to me, Brother Zhang, this door is very important and must be guarded.
"Too many people died in this place, and the Liu family used evil methods to make them very angry.
"Today we broke her evil spell. After a while, this place will become a ghost gate. We may lose our way inside and find no way back.
"At this time, I have to rely on you to lead the way."
While I was talking, I took out a little rooster made of paper from my backpack and handed it to Zhang Lei along with a box of matches.
"I have written a talisman inside this chicken. After we go in, if we come out smoothly, you will return the rooster to me.
"If the rooster crows before we come out, you must put the rooster here and burn it to ashes.
"Remember, you must wear your mask and clothes so that you will not be harmed by the ghosts."
Zhang Lei looked at us and hesitated for a few minutes, but in the end reason prevailed over emotion.
"good,"
He knew that I was the expert in this area, so he gritted his teeth and nodded.
"Xiao Dao, Da Jun, you two must be careful! If something happens, how will I explain to Uncle Wang?"
Zhang Lei's voice was a little excited. He put the chicken on the ground and hugged us two hard, and finally came to Zhang Zitong.
"Zitong, I'm sorry, I just..."
"Brother Lei, stop talking!"
Zhang Zitong changed his usual arrogance and his voice became very gentle.
"Actually, I know that you did it deliberately because you saw that I was too scared.
"Thank you. If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't have the courage to continue."
Zhang Zitong didn't care that we were around, he put his head on Zhang Lei's shoulder and said.
"When I come back, I will tell my dad about us, so we won't have to be secretive in the future."
Under the moonlight, two ghosts, one big and one small, cuddled together. The female ghost was holding a doll in her hand, and there was a green light.
Du Jun and I couldn't help but grin when we met again. Even though it was fake, it was an eye-opener for us.
"It's time, sister-in-law, let's go."
I calculated the time correctly, first lit up the sun lamp on my body, and then pushed open the door of the church.
Zhang Zitong left Zhang Lei's arms, nodded to him, turned around and followed me in, with Du Jun following closely behind.
Crunch!
No one pushed the door of the church, and it closed slowly, blocking out Zhang Lei's worried eyes.
When we first stepped into the church, we first faced a corridor. It was empty and covered with spider webs everywhere. Silk moonlight filtered in from the dilapidated windows, which was so eerie that it made people shudder.
"Sister-in-law? Put the doll on the ground, she can leave here on her own!"
My voice echoed in the corridor.
By this time, I had changed my name to sister-in-law. Now I see that Zhang Zitong is not only not unruly, but also a bit kind.
No wonder she was so rude to me. She already treated us as little brothers after a long time of quarrel.
Zhang Zitong had been reluctant to hold the doll for a long time. She always felt that this thing was a little devil, so she hurriedly let go and put the doll on the ground.
The puppet paused on the ground for a few seconds, then walked forward with its two calves.
We followed it about five meters away.
"Xiao Dao, Da Jun, my sister-in-law has a bad temper. It turns out she doesn't pay attention to what she says. Don't mind it, you two!"
Zhang Zitong said a little embarrassedly, since I have changed my story, she has acquiesced in her identity.
"How can you do that, sister-in-law? You have the personality to treat us as outsiders. Unlike my brother Zhang, who is vain and keeps hiding things from us. Do you think how we deal with it when we go out?"
Du Jun made a little joke behind him and took the opportunity to relieve Zhang Zitong's nervousness.
At this time, the doll walked through the corridor and came to a staircase.
This staircase does not go upward, but leads underground.
The puppet didn't pause for a moment and stepped directly onto the stairs.
"Xiao Dao, there is a basement down here. It turns out that we investigated during the day and there was nothing in it."
Zhang Zitong has been here before and introduced it to us in advance.
At this point the puppet has turned the corner.
It's even darker here, there is no light at all, only the paper lantern in Zhang Zitong's hand emits a faint green light.
Turned a corner, turned another corner.
No, why is there no end to this staircase?
The further we walked, the colder we felt. How many stairs were there? They seemed to be three or four stories high, right?
Just at this time.
Suddenly the puppet in front stopped, turned around slowly, opened its little mouth and smiled at us.
