Chapter 0317 Doll
”Don’t act alone! You slow down!”
Old Wei dragged Grandpa Bai backward in a hurry, the two of them were over a hundred years old combined, and they managed to catch up with Chen Ge.
”I’m just asking for directions, what are you guys doing over here?” Chen Ge didn’t want to expose Xuyin in front of Old Wei, and moved his finger away from the repeater.
”You can’t even see a living person in this village, who are you looking for to ask for directions?” Old Wei was really worried that Chen Ge would do something impulsive, such as breaking down the door with a hammer and rushing into the mansion next door.
”You’ll know later.” Chen Ge signaled Old Wei to keep quiet as he guarded the corner, silently counting his heartbeats and gripping the skull-crushing hammer.
After waiting for a full minute, the red birthday suit still didn’t appear, Chen Ge glanced sideways towards the corner, and the suit had long disappeared.
”Ran away?”
It probably heard Old Wei’s voice, so it hid.
Chen Ge put away the Skull Crushing Hammer and leaned against the wall to start thinking about what to do next.
”The Living Coffin Village is a three-star scene in the Scream Index, but the horror it’s showing right now is far from three-star.” Chen Ge looked at the end of the dirt road, the old mansions that were barely distinguishable, “The ghost hitting the wall should just be the beginning, the monsters in this village seem to be slowly awakening.”
The three-star horror scene foreshadowed that there must be a red coat hidden in it!
This was what Chen Ge was most worried about, he was well aware of the weight of the word red clothes.
”There’s no better way for the time being, we can only investigate while searching for a fallen ghost to feed to Xu Yin, if he can become a Red Clothes tonight, then this mission won’t be a loss for me even if I fail.”
Chen Ge was a person with a good mindset, but he was worried about encountering a red-clothed stern ghost with a bad mindset, Xu Yin had swallowed so many ghosts and monsters in the village alive, and it was highly likely that he would anger the other party.
Taking stock of all the ghosts and monsters on his body, there was still only one that Xu Yin could take.
The newly-acquired Yan Dainian, although he was known as the strongest ghost under the red clothes, his last key ability had yet to be unlocked.
In addition, looking at his usual image, he didn’t seem like the kind of ghost that was particularly fierce, releasing him in case he was accidentally torn apart by Redcoat, then Chen Ge was probably going to be heartbroken for a long time.
”Must be cautious.” Chen Ge repeatedly admonished himself, and after keeping it in mind, he looked at Master Bai, “The monsters in the village are starting to awaken, you’ve been to the Living Coffin Village before, do you know what are some of the more special buildings in this place.”
”There is a shrine in the deepest part of the village that is forbidden for outsiders to approach, and there are many wells dug in the village, but usually the people of Coffin Village would rather run across the mountain to fetch water than ever draw water from the wells, and they go around the mouths of the wells when they see them.” White moncler outlet store tried his best to recall, “There is another rather strange place, this village has no village headman, the person in charge is a woman, not very old, living alone in the village’s largest mansion.”
”I understand that outsiders can’t go in this place of the shrine, why would they be so afraid of the well? Could it be because the water here is of special quality, and drinking it will lead to physical deformities?” Chen Ge didn’t quite understand.
”There’s no problem with the water, my father had tested it with captured animals, but it’s just that I don’t know why the people of Coffin Village refused to use it, and at the same time blocked us from checking out the vicinity of the well.” Bai moncler outlet online couldn’t say why.
”Let’s keep an eye on these places, the more the other side won’t let us get close, the more likely it is that there’s a truth hidden.”
”Okay, then where are we going now?” Disoriented, the street full of white paper lanterns swayed, looking extraordinarily} human.
”Let’s take a step and see what happens.”
The three of them returned the same way, but they didn’t see the old mansion from before, at a glance, all the houses had white lanterns hanging in front of their doors.
”This is completely unable to get out.” Bai put the jade pendant on the outside of his clothes and clutched it tightly in his hand, “It’s not a good idea for us to stay on the streets all the time, or go into the house next to it for the night.”
”There might be ghosts living in the room with the white paper lanterns hanging, but that’s what the ghostly old lady said, it’s not necessarily right, and it’s also possible that she’s intentionally lying to us.” Old Wei still felt like a dream when he remembered tonight’s encounter.
”Why don’t we go in and take a look then?” Master Bai walked outside an old mansion next to him, his hand was raised, but he just didn’t dare to drop it.
The old lady’s line about not knocking in the dark was like a magic spell, haunting him.
Chen Ge didn’t go to stop Master Bai from knocking on the door, he was also pondering what to do, don’t look at him as acting more impulsively, of the three, he was the only one who knew most about the dangers of the Living Coffin Village.
”We can’t stay in one place all the time, we might attract as many ghosts and monsters as we can.” Chen Ge was thinking about countermeasures when the white cat in his backpack suddenly purred, a piercing sound that contained a rare kind of panic.
The last time he heard such a purring sound was when that door in Chen Ge’s haunted house bathroom was about to be opened.
”Not good! Something is coming over!” Chen Ge reacted immediately as he grabbed the shoulders of Master Bai and Old Wei, and the three of them entered the mansion with white paper lanterns hanging next to them.
”Chen Ge? What are you doing?”
”Don’t talk, don’t ever open your mouth!”
Chen Ge closed the wooden door, and the moment the door to the room closed, the cry of a baby boy resounded from the corner of the street.
”It’s a baby?”
”Quiet!”
Seeing Chen Ge reveal an unprecedented look of gravity, Old Wei and Master Bai both tensed up and stood still, not daring to move a muscle.
The cries were getting closer and closer, and even if they covered their ears, that weird and miserable sound could still drill into their brains.
Chen Ge tilted his upper body, he did not dare to move his feet for fear of making noise. He could only close the distance between him and the door of the room in this way, and then with the help of his Yin pupil, he could see the street outside the door clearly.
The lanterns hanging on the door all dimmed, as if they were tinted with a hint of blood color.
The wind outside suddenly stopped, and the only sound left on the entire street was the cry of a baby.
It came!
A short arm stretched out from the corner, Chen Ge’s pupils shrunk to a point as he stared in that direction.
Soon the monster’s face was revealed, it appeared to be a drowned child, it had no hair, its skin was white and swollen, its features were blurred, and it was wrapped in a wet, blood-red cloth!
”Red? How can a child this young be red?!”
The baby’s cries continued as it crawled rapidly on the ground, seemingly searching for something, only to suddenly stop when it reached the door of the room where Chen Ge’s trio was hiding.
The blurred face lifted upwards, and the wrinkled skin was pulled apart, revealing its true face.
This baby had no eyes or nose, with only three black holes and a deformed mouth on its face.
Chen Ge held his breath, he was glad that he had brought the white cat with him, if he hadn’t had advance warning, with the speed of the monster outside the door, he might not even have been able to press the repeater switch before he was knocked out.
