"Damn it!"
Not knowing what was happening behind him, when Pei Wende's roar came from the side room, there was no sound coming from here.
The quiet courtyard was eerily quiet, and even the moonlight in the sky seemed to be deliberately avoiding this area, making it look particularly eerie.
Wherever Pei Wende could see, only the swaying branches swayed slightly, and even the afterimage under the tree looked so unreal.
"Is anyone here?"
Watching the place with vigilance, which had obviously become a ghost land, Pei Wende, who was bold but not reckless, called out in a low voice.
However, Pei Wende's response was a long silence.
Not only did the roar disappear, but the maids living in these incense houses seemed to have never appeared before.
Huhuhu...
As the breeze swayed the treetops, a creepy atmosphere spread quickly and inadvertently nearby.
Even a timid person like Pei Wende was a little frightened under this situation.
Because compared to those ghosts with entities, this kind of invisible fear that clearly knows that there are ghosts nearby but can never really find them is the real fear.
"If this is a horror game, the person who made it must be a psychological master."
Pei Wende relieved his depression with his complaints and did not intend to give up rescuing the maids. He took out the dog-leg knife from his waist and adjusted the compound bow on his back to the most convenient position.
Whether it was the three views of his previous life or the teachings of Zen Master Lingyou in this life, Pei Wende could not let go of the maids who were in crisis.
Under normal circumstances, Pei Wende's character is often scolded as a dog meddling in other people's business.
In his previous life, he did cause a lot of trouble because of this personality, and was once regarded as a "weird" by those who were not familiar with him.
But similarly, once you become friends with someone like Pei Wende, you will find that the other person is actually more reliable than anyone else.
At the very least, you don't have to worry about Pei Wende abandoning you and running away alone in a crisis, let alone that the other party will stab you in the back at certain critical moments.
Like now...
"call!"
Pei Wende took a slow breath and unconsciously began to recite the mantra of rebirth. Without any hesitation, Pei Wende stepped directly into this gloomy courtyard.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Unlike the west wing where Pei Wende lives, this courtyard is part of the connected east wing.
Or to be more precise, this courtyard is the real east wing, and the wing where Li Yanran lives looks like a boudoir specially built for her by the old abbot.
Although having your own boudoir in a temple sounds a bit ridiculous.
But considering the relationship between Li Yanran and the abbot, this operation was within Pei Wende's understanding.
After all, Pei Wende does not really belong to this era. He has a more open understanding of normal interpersonal relationships and does not think that ladies must stay at home and never leave the house.
"Breaking into a haunted house in the middle of the night, in this movie in the previous life, was already considered a suicide attempt, right?"
Muttering in a low voice to encourage himself, Pei Wende quickly opened the door of the first wing after entering the courtyard.
Squeak...
With the sound of the door shaft rubbing, the furnishings in this room were unreservedly exposed in front of Pei Wende.
It was slightly better than the west wing where Pei Wende lived, with bedding, candlelight, tables, chairs, and tea sets...
Judging from the specifications and styles of the ornaments, it was obvious that they were brought by the maids themselves. It can be seen from this that they are frequent visitors to Mulian Temple.
However, it is precisely because of this strong home atmosphere that the room always looks particularly weird.
The candle on the table has not been extinguished, the two tea sets next to it are still steaming, and even the tea in the cup is still warm...
If there was no one sitting at the table, judging from the current situation, it would look like a scene of two maids talking all night long.
"Is anyone here?"
Forcibly suppressing the creepy feeling in his heart, Pei Wende slowly moved his gaze to the bed next to him.
From Pei Wende's perspective, the quilt on the bed was not neatly covered, as if someone was sleeping on the bed.
But after knowing that this courtyard was haunted, how could Pei Wende believe that anyone could still sleep peacefully in bed at this point?
According to Pei Wende's experience in playing horror games in his previous life, once he gets up there, he may be greeted by a terrifying face before he even lifts the quilt.
[Thanks to those evil horror games and horror movies in my previous life...]
After muttering something silently in his mind, Pei Wende approached the bed a little bit, and then very decisively used a dog-leg knife to open up the tightly covered quilt.
Wow...
The next second, a horrifying and terrifying scene appeared as expected.
But what was different from what Pei Wende imagined was that what appeared in front of him was not a terrifying and ferocious face, but a scene even more frightening than that.
"..."
Under Pei Wende's silent gaze, dark red blood flowed to the ground even on the bedding and bed.
And in the center of the bed, two "corpse" with no flesh, flesh and bones left, only human skin and hair were lying there.
"No matter what kind of monster you are, you have completely angered me this time."
The anger in his heart burst out like a volcano. Although Pei Wende had long known that the eye-catching white-fronted giant tiger had the ability to "skin and make ghosts", he also knew clearly the process of the birth of those demons.
But knowing and seeing are completely different things.
The flesh, flesh, and bones of a creature are melted away, leaving only the skin for you to make evil weapons. This shocking scene is far beyond what simple words can describe.
The people who greeted him alive during the day turned into two horrible human skins at night...
Such a huge psychological gap is enough to defeat any ordinary person with weak psychological defenses.
"If you want to break down my psychological defense in this way, then you have chosen the wrong method!"
There was a flash of compassion in his eyes. Pei Wende was not carried away by anger, nor did he do any radical behavior because of it.
Because the more you get to this time, the more calm you need to be.
Pei Wende absolutely did not believe that the ghost hidden behind the scenes left these two human skins simply to show off his achievements and abilities.
Taking the opportunity to anger yourself, or make yourself have some kind of blind impulsive emotion, is the ultimate purpose of the ghost leaving these two human skins.
