Chapter 7, Place of Hiding

Dingling bell

He wants to live, and no one can stop him

At four o'clock in the morning, the door lock of the room emitted a faint sound, creating a small gap that revealed a pair of murky eyes

A Jiu quickly said, "I will take it back for a ritual to purify it, and then burn it."

Xiao Zhi is not present, and Qian Xiaohao has been possessed by a ghost twice tonight. His soul is weak and fragile, making it impossible for him to serve as a vessel

Clang clang clang clang clang clang

Xiao Zhi held a bite-sized cookie in his hand, struggling to swallow it down his throat, and sighed: "Just woke up, and there's already a plot?" After sleeping for two days, a lot can happen. He could hide from people in the ceiling, but he couldn't escape from ghosts! ... He approached the door and opened a crack, causing the cookie in his hand to fall to the ground ...

He gritted his teeth in pain and said: "Join forces to seal them off!"

The movements of the vengeful ghost sister were both strange and swift. Although A Jiu had practiced martial arts since childhood, his physical strength could not match that of his younger days. Suddenly, he was struck by two blades, blood splattering, and he cried out in pain: "A You, help me!"

Ayou looked at the wardrobe that was making a banging sound and said, "This cabinet probably won't last much longer"

Xiao felt weakness in his limbs, and he knew that he had aroused A Jiu's vigilance

Unfortunately, Ayou was entangled by the vengeful spirit sister, and Qian Xiaohau had an exceptionally strong physique, making it difficult for him to withstand each punch! Seeing Ajiu on the verge of collapse, Ayou drew out a half-meter-long wooden spike from under his robe, its surface engraved with dense incantations. He bit his index finger, quickly wrote the words "command" on it, and shouted: "Spirits retreat, spirits avoid, the might of the Three Pure Ones, all evils perish, hasten as the law commands..."

A Jiu's gaze was cold and piercing; having reached this point, he was like an arrow on the string, compelled to be released

It seems a bit chilly

It is that madwoman Yang Feng, walking barefoot in the corridor, holding a large bell in her right hand and dragging a wooden stick filled with iron nails in her left hand, moving slowly like a zombie. Just by looking at her silhouette, Xiao Zhi inexplicably felt a chill run down his spine. Is this movie approaching its conclusion so soon

Upon seeing this, Ah You realized that he could not suppress it for long. A sword made of copper coins sprang out from his sleeve, and with blood smeared on the tip of his fingers, he swung it like a large stick! The twin sisters were knocked into the wardrobe, and the black bell in Ah Jiu's hand shattered. He then took out a chalk line, pulled out a long chalk line, and securely tied up the wardrobe. Ah You followed closely behind, taking out four talismans to stick on the four corners of the wardrobe. After confirming that everything was in order, he slowly exhaled...

Ah You followed closely behind, taking out four talismans to stick on the four corners of the wardrobe. After confirming that everything was in order, he slowly exhaled...

The greatest obstacle in exorcising a ghost is the living person themselves; it is extremely challenging to drive away the ghost without harming the person

Qian Xiaogao is a disheartened protagonist who, apart from shining brightly at the end, has little significance during the rest of the time

Xiao Zhi did not chat much with him; after exchanging a few pleasantries, he returned to his room to rest. Being possessed by a spirit can enable the flesh and blood body to exhibit extraordinary strength, but it also severely depletes one's vital energy. As soon as he lay down on the bed, he felt an overwhelming wave of drowsiness hit him

Ajiu has already revealed his malicious intent, and it is highly likely that he will take advantage of my weakness to launch a surprise attack. However, he would never have imagined that he would be sleeping in the ceiling

However, there is no time to worry about that now. The wooden stake emitted a faint red glow. Ah You hurriedly took two steps forward and thrust it towards Qian Xiaohai's abdomen. Zizi, wisps of blue smoke rose up... A sorrowful scream from the vengeful spirit sister detached itself from behind Qian Xiaohai, falling to the ground and unable to get up for a moment

Ayou immediately looked at Xiao Zhi and Qian Xiaohai: "You two have been possessed by ghostly energy, and you may fall seriously ill next. Make sure to rest well and consume more tonics to replenish your vitality..."

Although the several cuts made by the twin sister were bloody, it was evident that A Jiu was only slightly injured on the skin and flesh

Lying in the ceiling compartment, Xiao Zhi's eyelashes fluttered slightly as he reached out to pull the blanket over himself

Ayou withdrew the wooden stake and thrust it fiercely into Xiao Zhi's left shoulder, causing green smoke to rise again. She was focused on dealing with Ajiu's vengeful sister, who was painfully extricating herself. Her resentment was heavier than her sister's. After being thrown to the ground, she only stiffened for a moment before immediately pressing against the wall, glaring at the two with malice. ... Her gaze was primarily fixed on Ajiu ...

As she spoke, she took out a black bell covered in purple talisman papers from her pocket, shook it vigorously twice, and chanted a spell. Although neither the incantation nor the sound of the bell could be heard, the twin sisters seemed to have heard some terrifying sound, covering their ears with their hands and trembling incessantly

A Jiu smiled and said, "Thanks to you ... ... "

A Jiu touched the wound on his abdomen and cast a deep glance at Xiao Zhi

Clang clang ... ...

After A Jiu left

In this silent night, a sudden sound of a stick being dragged across the floor echoed in the corridor, accompanied by the intermittent ringing of a bell

First, the Yin messenger came to collect a life, then the little ghost went missing, and coupled with the previous injuries, the continuous misfortunes over the past two days left A Jiu feeling very depressed. ... With old ailments and new injuries, his body can no longer hold out for long, the zombie is about to be refined, the twin malevolent spirits are sealed in a fragile wardrobe, whether the defiance of fate to extend life will succeed remains a significant question mark ...

If I do not die this time, then he shall die

I participated in the plot myself, adding difficulty for A Jiu, and I don't even know if he is dead or not

The talisman paper on the surface of the black bell began to burn; with each sheet that was consumed, the pain of the twin sisters diminished by a fraction

Clang clang clang clang

With his right hand tightly gripping the dagger, he opened the wardrobe, the desk cabinet, and even looked under the bed, yet there was no sign of Xiao Zhi's presence

Ah...

Recalling the look in A Jiu's eyes when he left, he fought against drowsiness, dragging his weary body to lift the ceiling, hiding in the holes that had been quietly made over the past few days, placing a small clip in the middle of his nostrils to prevent snoring, ... and then fell into a deep sleep ...

In this sleep, he slept so deeply that he lost all sense of time, and by the time he woke up, two days had already passed

What a pity

Xiao Zhi let out a sigh, and then revealed a look of shame: "I couldn't make it on the mainland, so I thought of coming to Hong Kong to seek a way out. You are overestimating me."

Qian Xiaogao's words pulled him out of his daze

Ajiu clutched his abdomen, cursing inwardly, wondering what was wrong with this sister, as she seemed to be particularly attentive to him

The door suddenly swung open with a loud bang, yet there was not a sound to be heard

During this time, the restaurant owner downstairs and Ayou also came to visit, but they did not find anyone. After sleeping for two days, Xiao Zhi woke up feeling very hungry. He crawled out from the ceiling and casually grabbed some biscuits and milk to eat. Looking at the time on his phone, it was just past four in the morning; this was truly an inconvenient time to wake up

He gently stroked his abdomen, where his twin sister had inflicted several cuts. The pain was unbearable, and he had lost quite a bit of blood. Fortunately, he was already a dying man, having forcibly extended his life with ghostly ash. Whether he had these wounds was no longer important

Dingling bell

A Jiu, dressed in a black Zhongshan suit, rushed in with a swift step, his right hand gripping a dagger inscribed with incantations, which he thrust fiercely into the bulging quilt! It felt soft and wrong! He lifted the quilt, revealing no trace of Xiao Zhi, and couldn't help but frown, saying: "Strange, possession by a ghost would cause one's vital energy to decline and limbs to weaken, how could he not be here..."

After they took away the wardrobe, Qian Xiaohai and Xiao Zhi slowly regained their composure. Qian Xiaohai touched the mark on his neck left by the noose on the first day of his stay and gave a bitter smile: "I knew this place was haunted, but I didn't expect it to be so fierce, and I have dragged you into this... People like me have no use in living anymore; death would be just death. But you are still young, intelligent, and have a bright future ahead..."
