The rope broke, but the fortune-telling money did not explode, which means that the other party was unaware of the other arrangements in the house, but entered the villa according to some habit.
As I stared at the door of the villa, the crack in the door opened about an inch again, and a dark red sleeve squeezed in from the middle of the door. Judging from the style, the sleeve looked like an ancient robe, with a cuff of about one foot, completely covering the other person's palm.
The next moment, a pale human hand stretched out from the slightly tilted cuff, but the bloodless back of the hand seemed to be painted with a light layer of rouge. The combination of the white hand and rouge clearly exuded a kind of deathly aura from the grave.
"Dead man pushing the door"
Not long after this word appeared in my mind, the hand pressing on the door was gently lifted up and waved twice in the direction of the camera, as if calling the people in the room to walk towards the door that the other party had pushed open.
I felt a sudden palpitation in my heart, and I took a step back unconsciously. When I stopped, I saw Chen Liu had retreated to the door and held the door handle.
"Stop!" I yelled, and Chen Liu shuddered suddenly: "What's wrong with me?"
When I turned to look at the surveillance camera, the villa door was already a quarter open, and half of a face was revealed at the door.
Just a moment later, half a human face appeared behind the door of the villa. When that delicate but lifeless face appeared at the edge of the door with a strange smile, Jiang Yi couldn't help but screamed: "It's..."
Before Jiang Yi's screams ended, the red ropes I hung in the living room all caught fire, and the flames, several inches high, rushed from the rope head to the rope tail. More than a dozen ropes suddenly lit up at the same time, and the entire living room was suddenly illuminated by the flames. Countless lights and shadows entered my sight in the flickering flames. More than 20 figures appeared in parallel on the surveillance screen at the same time, lining up from the living room door all the way to the stairs, and heading straight to the second floor.
"Snap" - just when I wanted to take a closer look, more than a dozen red ropes had all turned into ashes, and the fortune-telling money hanging on the ropes flew everywhere, tinkling and scattering all over the ground.
"Change the camera!" After I shouted at him, Jiang Yi was finally not completely frightened. He hurriedly switched the camera to the corridor. The red ropes in the corridor had broken one after another. The fortune-telling money flew all over the sky and fell to the ground with a dazzling red light.
The money instruments I placed between the two floors were slightly different. The fortune-telling money on the first floor could only be used to warn me, telling me the direction from which the ghost was coming; there was only one corridor leading to the bedroom on the second floor, and if the ghost went up to the second floor, I didn't need to tell the direction from which the ghost was coming, I just needed to stop it, so I replaced the money instruments on the second floor with ghost-beating money.
If the ghost burning the fortune-telling money on the first floor was just a demonstration to me, now it has become a real collision.
After the strings of ghost-killing coins were thrown into the air and encountered the Yin Qi, the runes engraved on the coins immediately burst into red light. After the inch-sized ghost-killing coins fell like fireballs, they still glowed red, as if a piece of red charcoal was lined up in the corridor, and a layer of red light like a sea of fire was raised flat on the ground.
A moment later, I saw clearly that the red light that was rolling in the corridor suddenly seemed to be stepped on by someone, and a black footprint appeared out of thin air.
"Pah" - more than a dozen ghost-killing coins that were stepped on exploded at the same time, and the fragments of money with red glow formed a circle of wave-like light and shadow from under the feet of the ghosts, spreading to all directions.
The money for beating ghosts is broken! When I reached for the green aphid dart on my waist, the red light that had been forced to the surroundings suddenly turned back, circling the footprints on the ground and soaring into the air, until it climbed to a distance of 1.6 or 1.7 meters above the ground and stopped, and then continued to coil around in a half-meter wide distance. It was not until the fire was fully spread that I saw a human figure that seemed to be wrapped in flames.
The ghost wanted to force its way through the corridor, but ultimately it couldn't withstand the power of the runes on the ghost-killing money, and its entire body of negative energy was ignited, burning it into a human-shaped flame.
Just a moment later, the figure on fire collapsed in the surveillance video, turning into a rain of fire that fell to the ground. More than a dozen broken ghost-killing coins also became dim. The money magic weapon behind it was still emitting red light, continuing to block the ghost that was about to step into the defense.
I roughly calculated that, not counting the red-dressed female ghost, there were probably more than 20 ghosts in the living room that broke into the villa at the same time. I placed three ghost-killing gold coins in the corridor. If those ghosts forcibly rushed into the corridor without regard for the consequences, they could break through my defense and break into the bedroom. At that time, it would be a do-or-die battle.
I said in a deep voice: "All of you stay in bed. No matter what happens, don't come down. Hurry up."
Chen Liu hurriedly helped me to help the two girls who were trembling with fear to the bed. The three of us curled up on the double bed, not daring to move. I quickly used red ropes to pull up three ghost-beating gold coins around the window, and then slowly retreated to the door.
At this time, extremely crisp explosions were heard one after another from the corridor, and the piercing cries of ghosts were approaching the door. I reached out to touch the dagger beside my leg, and stood half a foot away from the door with a calm mind, blocking the three people behind me.
After all, my Qingxie Dart is a small hidden weapon, which is not conducive to frontal combat. In order to make it easier to travel around the world, my grandfather specially gave me a rune dagger. Although the dagger is only about seven inches long, it is extremely sharp, with evil-repelling runes carved on both sides, which is invincible whether it is killing ghosts or fighting.
Not long after I pressed the handle of the knife, there was suddenly silence outside the door, but I could clearly feel someone sticking to the door.
I controlled my breath and slowly pulled out the dagger when Jiang Yi suddenly screamed, "She pushed the door!"
I was slightly startled, and the door was suddenly violently pushed open and rushed straight towards me.
At the critical moment, I raised my knees and slammed into the door. With a loud bang, the door, which had been open, was pushed back to its original position. I didn't wait for the door to open again, and immediately rushed to the door and hit it with my body.
When I pressed against the door, a force of similar strength came from outside. Although the opponent failed to break the door open, it still made me tremble. When I was at a stalemate with the opponent across the door, Jiang Yi shouted again: "She is hitting the door! Hurry up and find a way!"
In just a moment, a huge force pushed the door back. The moment I used my shoulder to hold the door, my right hand had already pulled out the dagger and stabbed it. The sharp dagger pierced the door instantly, leaving only a section of the handle exposed outside the door.
As the ghost behind the door started to cry, I took a step back and kicked the dagger's handle. The dagger that was stuck on the door flew out of the door and flew straight to the other side of the corridor. The door could no longer withstand the continuous impact. After my kick, a finger-wide crack appeared, and I was shocked and took two steps back and stopped next to the wardrobe.
"Wu Zhao—"
Before I could stand still, I suddenly heard Jiang Yi scream behind me. When I turned around instinctively, I saw that Jiang Yi and the other three were still sitting on the bed.
"You're yelling nonsense..." As soon as I said this, I suddenly felt something was wrong. Although the three of them still didn't move, their bodies had obviously relaxed, no longer in the tense and terrified state they had before.
How could they suddenly relax when the crisis wasn't over
As soon as this thought flashed through my mind, I saw a smile on Jiang Yi's face. That smile looked like it was drawn on his face with a pen, exactly the same as the female ghost who pushed the door.
not good!
The moment I was suddenly startled, the closet door behind me creaked slightly, and then a biting chill ran up my spine.
The next moment, an arm hidden in the sleeve of a red robe suddenly stretched out from the closet, wrapped around my neck in the blink of an eye, grabbed my throat, and pulled me back violently.
My body leaned forward instinctively, and a strong feeling of suffocation instantly hit my mind.
I knew that my throat was being strangled and the more I struggled, the weaker I would feel. If I instinctively wanted to breathe and leaned back in the direction of the opponent's force, once I was dragged to the ground and my limbs could no longer exert force, I would be dead.
At the critical moment, I grabbed the opponent's arm with both hands, slammed my heels on the ground, and a two-inch long soul-breaking spike popped out from my toes. Then my body leaned back and leaned into the closet in the direction of the opponent's force. I kicked into the closet with my toes over my head.
Under the light, a cold soul-breaking spear flashed and instantly pierced into the closet. At the same time, a shrill ghost cry sounded. Behind me, a green phosphorous fire exploded. The hand around my neck lost its strength, and I fell into the closet.
When I was about to stand up, a robe with a rotten smell fell from my head. When I grabbed the robe and stood up again, there was only the red ancient costume in the closet except for the still dancing phosphorescent light.
I looked down at my feet with lingering fear. A true demon-slayer has something to save his life, and one of the unique skills passed down in my family is on my legs - the soles of my shoes are specially made, more than an inch thick, and both of my feet are often equipped with hidden weapons "Soul-breaking Thorns", which can be used to plot against opponents or even kill people at critical moments.
If it weren't for the Soul-Breaking Spear, I might have died this time.
I wiped the cold sweat off my head and looked at the phosphorescent light in the closet, and I couldn't help but frown. (To be continued)
