The time is certain, but this kind of waiting is no less than torture for Mrs. Chen.

Glancing at the 23:57 clearly displayed on the clock, Mrs. Chen's breathing became heavier. She shifted her gaze to the table, first focusing on the red cloth, and finally looking at the hair in the cloth.

That's Zhao Huanzhen's hair.

It is true that a variety of complex props are needed to hold a soul-calling ceremony, but no matter what, there is one thing that must be present, and that is the belongings of the deceased.

The so-called objects of the deceased refer to objects that the deceased often came into contact with during his lifetime, or simply parts of the body of the deceased. Only in this way can the objects be used to channel spirits and then summon the spirits of the dead.

In fact, when she first came up with the idea of ​​calling for ghosts, Mrs. Chen set out to search the house where Zhao Huanzhen lived before her death. Finally, she found a few female hairs in the bedroom. When she came back, she happened to see a woman standing in front of her door.

There was one person, none other than the young foreigner named He Fei. This also explained why Mrs. Chen appeared from behind the young man yesterday.

Of course, the above is no longer the focus, the focus is...

When! When! When...

The old-fashioned clock in the room suddenly rang, ringing 12 times in succession, so clear and harsh in this midnight rainstorm.

Soon after, when the bell rang, Mrs. Chen moved.

Regardless of whether she is willing or not, and regardless of whether she is afraid or not, as long as midnight comes, she must take action during this time.

The conjuring has begun!

Picking up the writing brush, he lightly dipped it in the inkstone filled with cinnabar juice, and then quickly wrote the three words "Zhao Huanzhen" on the blank canvas of the soul-calling flag.

The matter was not over yet. After putting down the brush, Mrs. Chen took out the carving knife and pierced the tip of the knife into the index finger of her left hand.

The tip of the knife penetrated and blood gushed out. The frowning Mrs. Chen dripped the blood onto the red cloth and onto the hair in the cloth.

After doing all this, Mrs. Chen, who was not the first to summon souls, continued her movements skillfully. She picked up the soul-summoning flag and sat cross-legged on the ground. At the same time, her hands holding the soul-summoning flag began to shake from side to side. During the shaking, her eyes were slightly closed and she muttered something.

:

"Human beings are yang, and worms are yin. People and worms have different paths. Today we sacrifice blood to meet each other. We have something to discuss and want to tell you."

"Zhao Huanzhen, come quickly, Zhao Huanzhen, come quickly, Zhao Huanzhen, come quickly..."

At this moment, Mrs. Chen was waving the flag and calling out Zhao Huanzhen's name repeatedly. Almost at the same time, as Mrs. Chen was murmuring something, the candle flames on the tabletop, which had been burning slowly and calmly earlier, actually continued to change with Mrs. Chen.

Differentiation occurs due to calling

Often, the flames begin to flicker without wind blowing. Sometimes the flames intensify and become brighter, sometimes they suddenly weaken and are almost extinguished. No, no, not just the candles on the table, but also the dozens of other candles scattered around the room.

Suddenly light and dark.

As Mrs. Chen's speaking speed gradually increased, more and more incomprehensible phenomena continued to occur.

Hula.

In the room with flickering candlelight, I don't know when the wind started to sound. Although it was so weak that it was almost undetectable, there was a real wind. For a while, waves of sourceless breeze began to flow in this room with closed doors and windows.

Blow freely.

Blah blah blah, blah blah.

The wind got stronger and louder, until it made several portraits of the True Lord rattle.

Then, the room began to cool down suddenly.

………

The time returns to 20 minutes ago, towards the south of the village.

The village fell into a dead silence in the heavy rain that was approaching midnight, and every house and courtyard lost its sound. It was as if the whole world had died, the noise no longer existed, and there were only thunder, lightning, and the never-ending pouring rain.

Chu Pengguang had a feeling that he was the only one left in the whole village, or even the only living person left in the whole world.

His wife had disappeared inexplicably as early as the beginning of Li Qi's troubles, and she was the first batch of missing persons in the village.

After losing his wife, Chu Pengguang burst into tears. He searched frantically in the village, asking questions about everyone he saw, and even begged the villagers to help search. However, no matter where he looked, no matter where he went, he searched all the places he could find and found nothing. Until recently, nothing was found.

The number of missing people in the village was increasing. It was not until yesterday that even Zheng Dashan and his wife who lived next door disappeared inexplicably. Chu Pengguang suddenly discovered...

At some point, all his neighbors disappeared, leaving only his family and him alone in the entire south of the village.

In other words, he is the only one left in Jingtao Village.

Wow.

Looking out the window at the heavy rain that was raging like water, listening to the continuous sound of raindrops outside, and the occasional bursts of thunder, Chu Pengguang, who was sitting alone in the middle of the hall, was covered in cold sweat, and his whole body was frightened.

At first, he comforted himself and tried to go to bed and close his eyes to rest. However, after discovering that he could not close his eyes and fall asleep no matter what, Chu Pengguang gave up and rested. Instead, he held a candle and put on his shoes and got out of bed.

When I arrived at the main room, I sat at the table and thought wildly, not knowing what to do for a while.

As the saying goes, the more you think about fear, the more you fear, and the more you think about it. Especially when a person is alone, he is more easily affected by the environmental atmosphere. However, Chu Pengguang is currently trapped in the kind of fear caused by loneliness, which prompts him to frequently

Guess, can't help but think about it.

What is the scariest thing in the world?

There are many answers, but unknown is firmly ranked first.

Unknown, completely unknown. Although I had already learned from Granny Chen that the ghost of Zhao Huanzhen was responsible for the worms in the village, what could this mean? To be honest, what really scared Chu Pengguang was not the lynx itself.

But the mysterious disappearance caused by female locusts!

I don’t know when I will be disappeared silently by the female locust. I don’t know when I will disappear from the world like my wife and neighbors. This is the most terrifying and terrifying thing. In the combined family and the entire village, I am left with only my loneliness.

Due to the influence of many factors, this man who was lucky enough to survive until now was on the verge of collapse.

It was precisely because of being too lonely and too scared that his already random thoughts deepened and became increasingly difficult to extricate himself.

(My wife is missing, Zheng Dashan and his wife are missing, Zhou Mingfa and his family are missing, and the whole village is silent. What about me? How long can I exist? I will disappear sooner or later! Maybe, maybe it will be my turn tonight!

)

Chu Pengguang never thinks that he is special than others, and he never thinks that he can live a long life. Yes, so many people in the village have disappeared for no reason, and countless villagers are alive and dead. Why can he, Chu Pengguang, live to this day?

Finally? Soon, soon, he had a feeling that it would be his turn soon!

It is said that most of the time fear comes from scaring oneself. This is true. Feeling the dead silence in the living room and watching the pouring rain outside the window, Chu Pengguang became more and more frightened as he thought about it more and more. The cold sweat on his forehead became more and more until lightning flashed outside the window.

, amidst the rolling thunder that followed, Chu Pengguang could not sit still. Thinking that he would die tonight, he suddenly left his seat and stood up in fear. While twitching the corner of his mouth, he muttered to himself:

"No, no, I can't go on like this, I don't want to, I don't want to wait to die, I, I... I want to escape!"

"I want to get out of here!"

Of course Chu Pengguang knew that there were a large number of living corpses wandering outside the village, and the reason why he could stay in the village until now was precisely because of the living corpses. If there was no threat from the living corpses, he would have packed up his belongings and fled the village long ago, but

, it’s different now, it’s very different. The so-called two evils should be compared.

Qing, after several days of ideological struggle, the man believed that although living corpses are scary, they are visible and tangible after all. They are threats that can be avoided after all, unlike living corpses that can at least run away if they are encountered in a tangible and material way.

Than, disappearing for no reason is the most terrifying thing, and it is even more inevitable.

In this case, is it necessary for me to stay in the village and wait for death?

So, in this way, Chu Pengguang, who was overwhelmed by fear, believed that staying in the village would lead to death sooner or later, and believed that the only way to survive was to escape from the village.

At first glance, this idea seems quite reasonable, but unfortunately, despite his hard thinking and weighing the pros and cons, he still neglected something and ignored an extremely important natural phenomenon, that is...

It is raining now, and the whole village is covered with water. Although he is in a dry and waterless environment at home, there is a pouring rain outside the house next door. It has already become a world of water, an ocean of water.

He did whatever he thought of, especially when he decided that he could not stay in the village for a minute longer, so the man acted decisively.

I ran into the bedroom, rummaged through the cabinets, packed my luggage briefly, put on my bamboo hat and raincoat, and immediately ran out the door without saying a word.

squeak.

Wow!

Pushing open the door, countless raindrops hit him head-on under the strong wind, but it didn't matter anymore. Chu Pengguang didn't care about the rain at all. Instead, he thought in his heart that it might be more convenient for him to escape with the help of the rain.

Soon, stepping on the cold water everywhere on the ground, and facing the dense raindrops above, Chu Pengguang ran away, rushing out of the yard as fast as possible, and finally disappeared into the village street, disappearing into the night that was now ruled by water.

middle.

Blah blah blah, blah blah.

As mentioned before, because the fear in his heart had reached its peak, Chu Pengguang, who had left home but intended to leave the village, was still running fast. His footsteps made a series of slapping sounds when he stepped on the water. He was soaked in water and did not think it at all.

The purpose is very clear, that is, to run. First leave the village as fast as possible, and then carefully pass through the area outside the village where the living corpses are infested. As long as you can get away from the village within one kilometer, it means safety and means escape.

God, then I won’t have to be afraid anymore!

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"

The camera shifts to the entrance of the village.

Hard work paid off. As a native of Jingtao Village, he had been familiar with the terrain of the village for many years. Even though it was late at night and it was raining heavily, it only took a few minutes for Chu Pengguang to successfully reach the east exit of the village and reach the edge of the village smoothly.

.

After confirming that the exit was right in front of him, the man couldn't help but get excited. He didn't even bother to take a break. He was eager to escape and ran again, running to the outside of the village in one breath.

He left the village, but when he got here, Chu Pengguang didn't dare to be as unscrupulous as he was in the village, because he knew that there were living corpses in a certain area outside the village. Those living corpses could kill people and kill anyone who left the village.

Villagers are killed, and what’s even more weird and terrifying is that any villager who dies outside the village will soon transform into a terrifying living corpse covered in blood, and then become a member of the army of living corpses!

Affected by the night and heavy rain, Chu Pengguang's vision was blocked. He opened his eyes and observed for a moment. After confirming that there was nothing abnormal in the wasteland ahead, the man gritted his teeth and took steps, slowly walking towards the outside of the village.

(God bless, bless me, you must bless me!)

While walking, he was well aware of the power of living corpses and was always on guard against any surprises. He did not forget to look around every step he took, as if he was exercising caution to the extreme.

What is gratifying is that during the walk, nothing appeared nearby and everything happened.

This further increased Chu Pengguang's confidence in escaping.

Next…

While walking, Chu Pengguang stopped.

Just a few steps away from stepping into the grass on the opposite side, he suddenly stopped, stopped moving, and froze on the spot.

The reason is that he just heard a sound, heard someone calling him, someone calling his name.
To be continued...
