Jian Ming suddenly felt a twinge of fear. He stammered and asked Yu Nian, "S-s-she won't hurt me, will she?"
Yu Nian laughed heartlessly beside him. "W-w-what do you think?"
Jian Ming: ………
Feng Chengyuan's lips curled up, and he let out a soft chuckle.
Jian Ming tentatively pointed at one of the kids. "Are you the younger sister?"
The kid suddenly let out a hideous laugh and showed a vengeful look on her face. "You guessed wrong."
She was still huddled up, but her once fair and flawless face suddenly turned blue and purple. Her neck stretched out incredibly long in an instant. She opened her mouth wide and lunged straight at Jian Ming.
The incident happened so suddenly that Jian Ming was both shocked and terrified. He stood there stunned.
Yu Nian raised an eyebrow and slightly leaned to the side. Somehow she took something out of her pocket. She flicked her finger, and a light - pink object flew out and hit the little ghost right on the forehead.
The little girl let out a shrill scream. Her neck snapped back like an elastic rope.
"Do you really want to hurt someone right in front of me?"
The kid was stunned for a moment and looked at the thing on the ground. It was a piece of candy wrapped in pink. She covered the big bump on her forehead in disbelief. Her little face wrinkled up, and finally she couldn't hold it back and burst into tears.
She looked at the good - looking and harmless - smiling elder sister in front of her with tear - filled eyes, thinking that all the fairy tales were lies!
When the other little girl saw her elder sister crying, she was also extremely aggrieved and started crying right after.
For a moment, the terrifying and eerie haunted mansion seemed like a kindergarten.
Jian Ming snapped out of his daze. His jaw almost dropped in shock. Could an old ghost who died a violent death years ago be made to cry by a piece of candy from Yu Nian?
His mood was indescribable. How could there be such a person in the world: eating the sweetest candy while beating the scariest ghosts?
Yu Nian slowly squatted down in front of the twins. She took out two more candies from her pocket. "Tell sister, who are you hiding from?"
The two little ghosts thought Yu Nian's behavior of giving a slap and then a sweet date was extremely despicable, but they were truly afraid of Yu Nian in their hearts. They sobbed and took the candies. Their eyelashes fluttered, and then they whispered, "We're hiding from mom."
Yu Nian was slightly startled. She turned to look at the living room and suddenly noticed traces of fighting and movement everywhere on the furniture.
With normal reasoning, one would only think it was caused by a fight between two adult men.
"Do you still remember how your dad died?"
As soon as the words were out, a cold and gloomy wind blew in. Zhu Xiaohong somehow appeared behind everyone and stared at the outsiders eerily.
Her bright red lips slightly parted, forming a ghostly smile. "I've found you."
Yu Nian noticed that the moment the twin sisters saw Zhu Xiaohong, their expressions immediately turned panicked. They seemed extremely afraid of Zhu Xiaohong. They screamed and hugged their heads.
But at this moment, Zhu Xiaohong's attention was completely drawn to Yu Nian and the others. Her once pretty face instantly distorted. Her body rotted and decayed at a visible speed. Her chest was bloody. The resentment on her body soared. The blood - red mist surrounding her was so dark that it was almost black and so thick that it was about to drip like water.
Yu Nian immediately understood that the master of this evil situation was Zhu Xiaohong.
Although Ming Mingzhong had seen many ghosts, seeing Zhu Xiaohong at this moment made him feel deeply resistant and scared. "What on earth is she?"
A glint of light flashed in Yu Nian's eyes. "It's actually an evil spirit that has become a bane..."
When people die, they become ghosts. Ghosts are the energy formed by the residual consciousness of the dead, and they can be good or bad. But a bane is different. Its formation is more complex. Usually, it is formed because people have great regrets, desires, panic, uneasiness, and even resentment when they are on the verge of death, thus creating a certain force.
The resentful spirits in the bane situation are muddled. They don't know who they are, have no spiritual awareness, and repeat their obsessions all day long.
Yu Nian took a step forward and quickly drew a talisman. She whispered to the people behind her, "Stay here. Don't move."
As soon as the words were out, there were several loud "hiss" sounds. All the lights went out. Even the screen of Bai Shengyi's SLR camera turned black.
Bai Shengyi cursed under his breath. His voice was full of surprise. "Even the live - broadcast is cut off."
Then the whole mansion was plunged into darkness. The icy air spread to everyone. In the deathly silence, Jian Ming suddenly felt a chill on his calf. He trembled, not daring to turn around. He could only check by the pale moonlight. But when he saw the scene in front of him, he felt dizzy and just wanted to faint right away!
The dusty ground was now covered with fresh blood. The blood seemed to be alive. It wrapped around Jian Ming's trouser legs. Wherever the blood touched, it was extremely cold.
Jian Ming let out a shrill scream and stamped his feet hard. But when he turned his head, he came face - to - face with the ghost of Zhu Xiaohong!
An indescribable stench rushed into his nose. He stared at her in horror with wide - open eyes.
Zhu Xiaohong's decaying face was full of hatred. She suddenly reached out her hand and tightly grabbed Jian Ming's neck. She shrieked, "I love you so much. Why did you betray me?!"
"I don't even know you... I love your grandfather!"
Jian Ming had a lot of swear words in his mind at this moment, but he couldn't say them. He was being choked so hard that stars were dancing in his eyes. Just when he was about to suffocate, he heard the female ghost let out a sob. The ice - cold hands around his throat suddenly loosened.
Jian Ming was supported to the side by Ming Mingzhong. He gasped for air and said to Yu Nian with difficulty, "Be careful..."
Yu Nian stared at Zhu Xiaohong, who was still trying to hurt someone after being hit by her talisman. Her voice was unusually cold. "You really never learn your lesson."
Yu Nian pinched a magic seal with one hand. Her eyes showed an unprecedented sharpness.
"The divine master punishes without sparing the powerful. First kill the evil ghosts, then slay the night light. Which god would not submit? Which ghost would dare to resist? Quickly, as in the decree!"
The moment Yu Nian's words fell, a golden light shot straight at Zhu Xiaohong like a swimming dragon. She hardly had any chance to dodge. She let out a shrill scream and fell to the ground. She trembled and curled up into a ball.
Yu Nian's cold gaze swept over her thin figure. She slowly stepped forward. Just as she was about to touch Zhu Xiaohong, a gloomy wind suddenly blew in the mansion.
A hazy figure slowly floated in front of Zhu Xiaohong.
Under the faint moonlight, his facial features could be vaguely recognized. The man was very tall, but at this moment he was semi - transparent, as if he would disappear without a trace the next second.
Yu Nian stared at his face. "You finally showed up."
The male ghost let out a soft sigh. He walked to Zhu Xiaohong's side and gently wiped the bloodstains off her face.
Looking at the scene in front of her, Yu Nian whispered, "The protection you thought you were providing has, by accident, become the knot in Zhu Xiaohong's heart that made her a bane. You didn't die from being murdered but committed suicide by cutting your own throat. You also created the scene of a fierce fight everywhere in the room. The purpose was to create the illusion that someone broke in and killed you, so as to help Zhu Xiaohong get away with it and cover up the truth that she killed her own two children. You just never thought that after you died, Zhu Xiaohong would choose to commit suicide with you without hesitation, right, Liang Shaoshan?"
