Chapter 10, Unexpected Visitor

The flashlight that he had previously held in his hand also rolled aside, and it is unclear whether it was broken from the fall or if the battery had completely run out, disappearing entirely into the darkness

The liquid that had previously dripped onto their heads was none other than the brain matter dripping from the wound on Feng Wei's head

Upon thinking of the amulet, a strong desire to survive suddenly erupted within Xia Tianqi, who desperately struggled to take the amulet out of his pants pocket and then, regardless of its efficacy, placed it on his body

In the summer, Qi subconsciously touched the liquid that had dripped onto his head, and then slowly raised his head, shining the flashlight upwards.

In the summer, Qi experienced the taste of despair for the first time, a mixture of extreme powerlessness and helplessness

Without even waiting for Feng Wei to turn his head to look, two cold arms intertwined and wrapped around his neck

Feng Wei jumped in place while hugging his shoulders and couldn't help but complain to Zhao Shuang, who was walking ahead.

I said Zhao Shuang, you wouldn't be intentionally teasing me, would you? What secrets could there possibly be in this bookstore

Zhao Shuang

Zhao Shuang's face was completely pressed against Feng Wei's face

In fact, his feelings were not mistaken, for just as he was about to take the risk of looking back, something unknown seized one of his shoulders, and an overwhelming force emerged from it, forcibly pulling him down to the ground

With the faint glow of the fire, he finally saw clearly the thing that was pressing down on him

After falling to the ground, the fear that had been forcibly suppressed by Xia Tianqi finally erupted.

I want ... ...

The beam of the flashlight suddenly flickered, and behind me, Wang Yazhi's scream had already pierced through the eardrum

However, Xia Tianqi did not recognize Feng Wei by his appearance, but rather by his attire

Recalling that the previous evil spirit had once disguised itself as the librarian Zhang Xiaoshun to deceive him, Xia Tianqi felt even more convinced that his suspicions were likely correct.

To Xia Tianqi's great surprise, the voice of a middle-aged man suddenly came from beside him

I want ... ...

Furthermore, I have another idea; perhaps that evil spirit is also afraid of light

As for the reason for deceiving him into coming over

With a firm rub of his own cheeks, Xia Tianqi tried to calm himself down

At this point, perhaps fearing that Wang Yazhi's emotions might collapse again, Xia Tianqi added:

Although it was just a fleeting glance, Xia Tianqi still recognized the identity of the corpse; it was none other than the effeminate Feng Wei, who had previously parted ways with them.

However, he could see nothing at all

Although Zhao Shuang appeared somewhat strange at this moment, Feng Wei still walked over quickly

I want ... ... you ! your ! life !

What do you want

Feng Wei cast a discreet glance at Zhao Shuang, who was within arm's reach, but due to the dim lighting, he did not see Zhao Shuang's expression

It is unclear whether it was due to hearing Feng Wei's complaints, but at that moment, Zhao Shuang, who was walking ahead, suddenly stopped and then opened the door to a lounge

Xiatianqi did not dare to hesitate any longer, hurriedly taking steps to desperately escape towards the nearby stairway, intending to flee upstairs via the stairway.

Why has it suddenly become so cold, I'm freezing to death

When was he hanged up there

What is it ... ! ... What is it that is pressing down on him !

What ... ... ?

Xiatianqi cried out as he tried to get up, only to find that he was suddenly soaked in some kind of liquid, followed by a significant weight pressing down heavily on him

Upon witnessing the scene above their heads, Xia Tianqi and Wang Yazhi both gasped in shock

Do not worry, you will naturally know when you arrive at the destination

Standing side by side with Zhao Shuang at the door of the lounge, Feng Wei instinctively shone his flashlight inside, but did not find anything particularly unusual.

At this point, the amulet that was looked at had almost completely burned out

Wang Yazhi could hardly believe his ears, as it was difficult for him to accept that such a living person could have turned into a ghost.

If what you say is true, then... then Feng Wei..." Wang Yazhi has already become so terrified that she cannot speak.

Am I going to die...

Hmm, don't you find it strange? This bookstore building is almost completely devoid of light. Every single window is covered by curtains without exception, and the light switch is also very difficult to find. The most important point is... that evil spirit only appears at night. So I think that spirit is either afraid of light or afraid of heat. Moreover, aren't the monsters and demons in those domestic films all terrified of light?

Previously, he foolishly threw all the amulets into the toilet, but now there is still one left, which is kept in his pants pocket

Following Zhao Shuang up to the fourth floor, Feng Wei felt an inexplicable sense of anxiety rising within him, as if something unfortunate were about to happen

The endless darkness and despair are like a furious ocean, instantly engulfing the summer steed completely.

Zhao Shuang's voice remains as stiff as before, and at present, it sounds even more like an emotionless robot

In fact, Feng Wei's death did not come as a surprise to him; to put it plainly, the reason for his panic was that the corpse and the books were unexpectedly so close to them.

Feng Wei is now 90% sure that Zhao Shuang deceived him into coming here; there is no secret at all.

We must leave here quickly

At this moment, Zhao Shuang had also stepped into the lounge.

I merely stated that the likelihood is relatively high, as the middle-aged man only mentioned that he would bring two newcomers, not to mention that 'she' only appeared after the middle-aged man had left

Since you feel cold, let us go inside

However, in a moment of realization, he thought of something, something that might temporarily save his life, and that was the amulet his grandfather had given him

The panic in his heart escalated once again, and it seemed as though the temperature around him was also becoming increasingly colder. Feng Wei instinctively hugged his shoulders, yet he still could not prevent the invasion of the cold.

Without pausing, Xia Tianqi finished expressing his conjecture, not caring whether Wang Yazhi understood it or not, and continued to speak:

Of course, we need to find a way to create some light; relying solely on the flashlight's limited illumination is certainly insufficient. Let's first draw open the curtains on this floor.

This is undoubtedly telling them—it's right nearby

He was utterly astonished to discover that his hand was actually on fire; no, to be precise, the amulet he was holding was burning fiercely. However, the strangeness lay in the fact that he felt not the slightest bit of pain in his hand.

Afraid of light

The person behind you is indeed not simple; I just wonder what level of official they are!

In other words, Xia Tianqi had already lost his last line of defense, and the only way to survive was to flee. However, before he could accelerate and escape, a dazzling beam of white light suddenly shone on his face

During the process, Xia Tianqi felt as if the hand holding the amulet was sinking into a thick, viscous mud. However, in the next moment, specks of red sparks illuminated his vision

At this moment, Feng Wei had long lost his former "human appearance"; not only had his body suffered severe deformation, but his head, stained with brain matter, was reduced to merely half, tragically hanging from the upper chandelier.

Upon seeing Zhao Shuang enter first, Feng Wei hurriedly followed suit. However, what he did not expect was that just as he stepped inside, the door to the lounge closed with a "thud" behind him

Accompanied by Wang Yazhi, Xia Tianqi cautiously approached a window. However, before he could draw back the curtain, a few drops of somewhat warm liquid unexpectedly fell from above their heads.

Is it true? Wang Yazhi seemed to see hope

Are you sure there is a secret in here

When the meat was brought to his lips, Feng Wei naturally felt embarrassed not to eat it, so he responded quite cooperatively:

What are you saying? Zhao... Zhao Shuang is a ghost

Suck!

Feng Wei, holding a flashlight in his hand, was able to see Zhao Shuang's face clearly this time thanks to the light; it was an incredibly pale face

Despite Zhao Shuang's face being frighteningly pale, resembling that of a vampire, her voice filled with playful reproach immediately disarmed all of Feng Wei's defenses

In the summer, Qi felt a blankness in his mind, and his body began to tremble ineffectively. As for Wang Yazhi, who had been following him, she had already disappeared without a trace.

I do not know, and can only hope that he seeks his own fortune, after all, we are all struggling to protect ourselves now, and we do not know when we will be discovered

This is the place, come over quickly

However, before he could run too far, a sudden feeling of being watched arose in his heart. This feeling was so intense that even without turning back to look, he could clearly sense that there was a "thing" right behind him

However, it is not without means to try; it is said that evil spirits fear wicked people, as long as we act a bit more ferocious, we should be fine

Hmm. Xia Tianqi nodded and then said

Therefore, we should start preparing now

At a certain stairway entrance on the first floor of the bookstore, Xia Tianqi and Wang Yazhi are waiting here

It was the evil spirit that disguised itself as Zhang Xiaoshun and nearly killed him that night

The burning of the amulet has a very evident effect on the evil spirit, as its body trembles and retreats as if it were being electrified, until it completely departs from Xia Tianqi's body

Feng Wei looked at Zhao Shuang, who was continuously drawing closer to him, and his body could not help but tremble, for Zhao Shuang's body was indeed too cold

The body remains completely rotting, with the face covered in disgusting sores.

Ah ... ... !

Xiatian Qi signaled her to calm down, then shook his head and said

In fact, he harbors a certain degree of expectation, after all, they are a solitary man and woman staying here, and Zhao Shuang has been somewhat proactive... Although he speaks in a somewhat effeminate manner, he is not a gay man

As Zhao Shuang drew closer, she once again gasped softly and said to Feng Wei

What are you preparing for? What exactly are you getting ready for?

Zhao Shuang's voice suddenly became extremely hoarse, and at the same time, Feng Wei felt his nose filled with a nauseating stench

As for Xia Tianqi, he was not caught off guard; he quickly turned over and took the opportunity to stand up, ready to spring into action at any moment

Xiatianqi is not a person who enjoys waiting, nor does he like to leave things to fate, nor does he entrust his destiny to others.

Because above their heads, there was actually...! ... a dead person hanging upside down!

"What do you want?" Feng Wei's hands began to mischievously unbutton Zhao Shuang's clothes.
