Chapter 4
As the main entrance closed, the whole room fell into darkness.
There were obviously 3 people, but nobody dared to make a sound, no one knew what was now happening outside, if the female ghost was lead away or was still lingering outside.
The wait was very torturing that they couldn't help but recall the scene of how the couple died along with the bloodstains that made people uncomfortable.
Ren Hui hugged her arms while squatting under the bed*, wanting to cry but dared not make a wee bit of sound, even the tears were desperately sucked in, for fear that the dripping tears would alert the cannibal evil spirit outside.
*it said wall
Luo Kong standing in the closet was already drenched with cold sweat, a variety of scenes constantly appeared in his mind, compared with Fang Jians struggling shouts, this kind of silence was the most terrible.
Not knowing whether Fang Jian-ge actually lead the female ghost away or was silently swallowed by the ghosts just like the couple. The more Luo Kong thought the more frightened he became, the legs uncontrollably trembled in place, the cabinet was very narrow that people could only stand, the door could easily be opened if the body moves just a bit more, making him not dare to even move.
He couldn't help but look to Gu Wu Ji for comfort, but nothing could be seen in the dark and can only hear the others gentle breathing.
Gu Wu Ji wasnt scared at all!
Even when his eyes looked at him, he still smiled a bit while comfortingly said: Its alright, we might not die even if found by the female ghost, perhaps with a bit of luck we can even be friends and give us a clue to survive.
This psycho, this reckless lunatic! Luo Kong regretted it at this moment, why he hid together with Gu Wu Ji, even encountering a ghost alone was still better than being with him!
At this time, unhurried footsteps sounded outside the bedrooms door.
The phrase became a prediction!
In the darkness everyones hearing became keener, no, the sounds werent only of footsteps but also a sound of an object being dragged.
What was the female ghost dragging?
Could it bea dead body?
Ren Hui who was closest to the bedroom door shrank even more under the bed and uncontrollably trembled, even if she wasnt a new sprout*, but it was only through luck she survived in the first world, she lacked even a bit of experience in confronting an enemy beyond knowing some common sense in this world of terror.

The next moment, the knocking stopped making everyone sigh in relief, but the sigh was yet to be completely released when the door made a ga zhi* sound as it was suddenly pushed open.

Faint light entered the room.
From Ren Huis view, one could clearly see a pair of inhuman feet, one foot appeared a bit normal, but the other was strangely twisted, just like being broken by someone, which made the female ghost produce a dragging sound while walking.
Ren Hui was so frightened that her mouth went wide open, but didnt dare to make any noise, she kept her drawn breath state, restraining the scream in her throat, tightly closing her eyes and not daring to look again.
Without knowing how long it took then heard the sound of female ghost's footstep leaving.
Inside the closet, they from the start used the closet door seams to observed the scenes outside. Gu Wu Ji clearly saw the deathly pale face of the female ghost with blood flowing from the cavity walking in the room.
Seeing the female ghost head more and more towards the bedside, as if looking for something, constantly rummaging the bed, that even had a tendency to stoop and search under the bed in the next moment
Luo Kong beside him even if somewhat sympathetic was certainly relieved, after all when a teammate dies it can give them a good chance of escape.
But not expecting, that the female ghost would suddenly stop, then as if detecting something, the head immediately made a sharp 180 turn, the pitch black empty eye socket directly stared at the two people peeking out the closet.
At that moment if Luo Kong hadn't tenaciously covered his mouth, perhaps his screams would have already been ringing.
Gu Wu Ji felt that this lady was very enthusiastic.
The female ghost step by step advanced towards their side, the deathly pale face revealed a sinister smile, the small crack in the corner of the mouth split and almost reached the ear's corner, the two could clearly feel the others tight stare even without eyes.
Luo Kong was already scared enough that his soul would have left his body, then suddenly realized that he was in the closet with Gu Wu Ji, if he waited for him to go out, he may still have a chance to escape--
At any rate, this guy was the first to irritate the female ghost from downstairs, even if he wasnt harmed by him, he will die sooner or later, he will instead fulfill his wish of being friends with the female ghost.
Thinking about this, Luo Kong felt very at peace, but turning around he found that Gu Wu Ji still had a calm look even when he was closely watching the female ghost, the face lacked the slightest fear and was just like observing something.
What the hell was going on with this guy! Even if the heart was big it's too excessive, alright!
At this time Luo Kong began to be a bit envious of Gu Wu Ji's psychological quality of having a sky high ignorance.
With the footstep sounds, the female ghost has finally reached the front of the cabinet, that her hand could open the cabinet in the next moment.
However, the female ghost placed a hand on the cabinet's door pressing it, after the last piece of small crack disappeared the cabinets interior completely fell into darkness .
After that, the footstep sounds gradually distanced, as if the female ghost left.
Wh-what happened Luo Kong was very surprised and couldnt believe what happened, Wasnt she about to start with us? Is there really such a good thing? Could it actually want to make friends with them?
Gu Wu Ji slightly frowned while reaching out to push the cabinet door, only to discover that the door that could be opened with the slightest movement, was now like having a huge boulder pressing outside, not budging a bit even when force was used.
"The door won't open."
What?!
Thinking of the terrible possibilities, Luo Kongs face became very pale as his body uncontrollably trembled.
T-the female ghost is deliberately locking us in! So that we cant leave, let alone find a place to escape!
What you said makes sense, but, did you just touch my shoulder? Gu Wu Ji asked.
What? He didnt!
Luo Kong froze a slight chill rose from his heart as if remembering something, while trembling in fear he turned on the cellphones flashlight shining it towards Gu Wu Ji direction, in the light, he saw a pair of blood red cavity facing him.
A a a a a a--
A blood-curdling scream came from inside the cabinet, then Luo Kong madly struck the door.
As if the female ghost was satisfied with just catching Gu Wu Ji, the sealed door was actually knocked open by him. Luo Kong then frantically tried to escape far from here, looking back to Gu Wu Ji in the cabinet with horror, B-behind you!
Ren Hui who was under the bed also climbed out, seeing the scene in front, made her almost pass out in fright.
Behind Gu Wu Ji, is a womans pair of impressively pale hands, with an evil spirits sinister look, half of the body leaned on Gu Wu Ji.
Without waiting for Gu Wu Ji to say anything, they gave a dead person type of sympathetic look and after glancing at Gu Wu Ji quickly rushed out the door.
At such time who still has the courage to stay and help others!
Luo Kong was certain, that it was because Gu Wu Ji offended this female ghost before that he was now being targeted, he picked his fate and it was more important to quickly find Fang Jian-ge.
Gu Wu Ji was brimming with a mental and physiological ordeal while the shoulder was like being pressed down by a huge stone, said with contemplation: What are you looking for?
Saying so, he went a few steps forward, like the shoulders pressure was nothing to him, I just noticed that when you entered the door, you seemed to be looking for something important to you but cant find it, so with both your legs and feet being inconvenient, you wanted to find someone to help?
His pleasant and gentle voice had a natural soothing charm, like clear spring, wrapped in the moon's shadow between the turquoise stones.
Flowing to the bottom of your heart.
The female ghost's expression can't be seen from Gu Wu Ji's angle, but the female ghost was undoubtedly silent at this time. She never thought that there would be humans who would carefully observe this kind of thing, normal people would only see the evil spirit's sinister look, when will they think about the inconvenience of the other's legs and feet?
It doesnt matter, Im here now, let me help you find what you are looking for. Gu Wu Ji gently said, even looking back at the female ghost, without any fear or retreat in the eyes, the pair of beautiful dark eyes looked very sincere.
Making people think of the word gentleman.
Being a gentleman towards an ugly female ghost? It sounded very ridiculous.
The female ghost was silent, soon a very hoarse voice sounded in Gu Wu Ji's mind.
to the study.
Gu Wu Ji with the female ghost behind, headed towards the study, he had already memorized the houses layout before, the study wasnt far from the room.
Usually, going to this direction was very difficult, after all there would always be accidents along the way. But this time perhaps because of the female ghost behind Gu Wu Ji, they actually arrived to the study's door safe and sound.
Gu Wu Ji was keenly aware, that the study walls were extremely clean, entirely different from the walls before that were full of messy scrawls, like there was something inside, that made other people not dare to come over.
Gu Wu Ji pushed the studys door open, at the moment of entering, a gust of yin air suddenly blew to the door from outside the window making Gu Wu Ji suddenly feel his body lightening.
Did the female ghost leave?
He suspiciously looked for a while, but just wasn't able to see the female ghost existence anywhere.
Is she leaving just like this? I haven't helped her looked for anything yet, but coming here, its still better for me to have a look around first. Gu Wu Ji saying so, went towards the desk and immediately saw a dilapidated notebook above.
Without thinking, one can know that it would definitely have important information about this world. He immediately flipped it open then quickly browsed.
Recorded in this notebook was a type of sacrifice ceremony that sounded very cruel, it was about sacrificing someone with familial blood relations to the malicious spirit, to preserve a decade of riches and honor.
The more intimate the blood relation was, the more satisfied the malicious spirit would be, and would also reduce the other's chance of devouring the malicious spirit.
Gu Wu Ji immediately remembered the picture of the homeowner and his son in the hall, then recalling that the homeowner used to be the richest man in a city, looked somewhat cold.
The process of the sacrifice ceremony was also very cruel, in order to prevent the other from seeking revenge after death, first was to dig out the eyes of the person being sacrificed, even if a resentful spirit was born from this ceremony, it would still be completely blind.
Then the abdomen is opened, the internal organs must be taken out while the other was still alive, only the sacrifice's resentment and fear brought about by suffering was the best food for the malicious spirit.
But if this is so, how could the people in the room be silently killed."
Gu Wu Ji producing such a thought, soon saw writings left by the homeowner himself, the writings were very messy, but the meaning was very clear.
At that ceremony, the homeowner even invited four friends to share the wealth that could be obtained after the sacrifice. But an accident happened, as the youth being offered to the malicious spirit that should have directly died, because of a strong resentment was able to swallow the malicious spirit, becoming the new and frightening evil spirit, which made those who sacrificed him more impossible to escape, those people will surely be tortured and killed.
The other people in the process of escape, also broke the legs of an innocent maid in the villa leaving her behind, in an attempt to avoid the killer.
But everyone was unable to leave and all they could do was hide, but it was still useless, as one by one were caught, and killed in the cruelest way.
Only the homeowner survived the longest, hiding in the study as he claimed that it was his son's revenge, to let him spend his last moments in anxiousness and fear.
In the notes, his biggest doubt was, how his son after turning into an evil spirit was able to find their hiding places, after all, according to the ceremony, the other whos eyes were both gone, made it impossible to see them in anyway, but he actually felt something constantly watching him.
Even when they crossed all the eyes in the pictures, but it still didnt work in the end.
Gu Wu Ji soon flipped to the end of the notes, he noticed that what was written here seemed to be very important.
I finally know, how he was able to see me anywhere.
It was, with my own eyes--
