In horror movies or novels, ghosts are usually omnipotent and can read people's minds and memories, tamper with people's cognition, and even distort time and space.
Therefore, after Lu Yanli died, he had two bodies, which seemed to be something strange.
Yes, that's right, why... why did they suddenly break into a store? When all the stores on the street were closed, this store was still open, which was incredible.
Needless to say, it was very much like their style for all of them to come in like this without any precautions.
"We... we should go out?" Jin Fugui asked carefully. The store was completely dark and he couldn't see anything clearly. Normally, it should be this dark during the day.
There was no response to his suggestion. He tried to open his eyes wide, but he couldn't see anyone. The frightened Jin Fugui whispered a few words: "Jiang Bai? Jiang Bai?"
A cold hand was placed on his shoulder, and before that, a cold male voice said, "Be quiet."
When Jin Fugui recognized that it was Jiang Bai, he felt a little relieved.
He looked left and right, and suddenly found the right one.
"Where's the door? Why is the door of this store locked?"
"Yes. In fact, after we came in, the exit of this store disappeared." Jiang Bai answered him.
It was indeed impossible to rush into a strange store without thinking, as if I had walked into a dark room locked in between black and white, and I didn't even know how to escape.
He was most willing to encounter this kind of supernatural phenomenon that would affect his intelligence, otherwise he would easily send himself to death. Like now, although there was no danger in the darkness for the time being, he also sensed a cold breath that seemed to come from hell.
Unexpectedly, this darkness… even he couldn’t see anything. He could only vaguely see a few figures standing silently in the darkness.
Out of instinct, he did not approach the figures, but moved away from them.
They had only taken a few steps into the door, and now, Lu Yanli kept retreating, at least seven or eight meters away, but still did not touch the border.
He thought: If this was an illusion, then I might have been taken to another place by a ghost.
Jin Fugui wanted to say something, but suddenly, he turned his head and looked in a certain direction - although he could not see anything clearly, he could still feel the cold and icy breath coming from that direction.
What happened outside
Is the evil ghost that Lu Yanli turned into after his death hiding outside the door
Lin Chu pressed against the wall nervously, not daring to say anything, and almost holding her breath. Jiang Yu, who was standing a little distance from her, was doing the same.
Everyone felt the strange and extreme coldness, as if the street separated by a wall was actually a glacier.
Gradually, light came on.
The little light that was available came in from the window, illuminating the entire room.
But when they saw the furnishings in the house clearly, they couldn't help but gasp.
This is actually a wax museum! From the outside, you can't imagine how spacious the interior is.
Not only that, the wax figures in this wax museum were extremely weird. All of them were people who died in various twisted and weird ways, including beheading, foot cutting, skinning, nailing and other cruel punishments. Lu Yanli saw some familiar shadows on the painful faces of these statues - many residents of the town.
, are just residents of the town... Lu Yanli felt a sharp pain like a needle pricking his head, but he held it back. After the dizziness in his head passed, he looked over again, and the familiar feeling was gone.
Strange, what's the familiar feeling? Do these statues look familiar? Lu Yanli looked at the faces carefully and was sure that he had never seen them before.
These single-legged wax figures formed a thick circle surrounding a giant wax figure group placed in the center of the hall.
The wax figures, carved out of bright red wax, depicted a scene of blazing flames, with a sea of fire below and a pool of blood above. Countless bones and ghosts were tumbling and wailing in the pool of blood, and in the middle were the even more horrifying, white, mutilated limbs entangled together, which were too horrifying to even look at.
It's simply... human purgatory.
This scene looks extremely familiar.
Lu Yanli felt that he looked familiar, but Lin Chu felt cold all over. She had never felt so powerless and desperate as she did now.
She saw Lu Yanli, who was far away from her, walking towards the statue in the middle...
"Stop! Jiang Bai!" Lin Chu rushed over and tried to grab Lu Yanli.
Lu Yanli seemed not to hear and continued to walk forward. Lin Chu pulled him back and turned to yell at Qiu Zhi, Jiang Yu and the others: "Come and help!"
Jiang Yu had no intention of helping, he just watched coldly, wanting to see what would happen if Jiang Bai encountered those wax figures.
Qiu Zhi stepped forward to help. With his and Lin Chu's strength plus Jin Fugui's weight, they finally managed to hold Lu Yanli back.
"What happened to Jiang Bai?" Qiu Zhiran was worried.
Lin Chu shook her head: "I don't know." She stared at the group of wax figures in the center and felt her hands and feet getting colder.
This scene... is it exactly what she and Chu Xiu described
In order to deceive Chu Xiu, she made up a task about the wax museum and described the scene in the wax museum. Who would have thought... it would come true
Many strange things are like this, nine parts are real and one part is false, and the most deadly danger is hidden in the falsehood.
"Jiang Bai! Wake up!" Lin Chu could not tell Jiang Yu, nor could she tell Qiu Zhi or anyone else present. She could only choose Lu Yanli and place her hope of destruction on him.
"Jiang Bai? Jiang Bai?!"
Lu Yanli's eyes were still open, but he seemed to be free of anxiety, and was looking at a certain world that ordinary people saw.
"Wake up quickly!" Lin Chu desperately shook Jiang Bai, whose eyes had lost focus and seemed to have dilated pupils, but the other party's gaze became even more terrifying.
It's just... like a human being!
Lin Chu was shocked by his own imagination. Seeing that Qiu Zhi and Jin Fugui couldn't wake up the other party even after calling out to him, he thought about what might happen next. He didn't have time to think too much. He stretched out his hand and slapped the other party in the face, and then pinched and scratched him: "Wake up!!"
The pain seemed to wake the other person up. Lu Yanli suddenly turned back and grabbed Lin Chu's hand that was about to touch his face: "That's enough."
Sweat oozed from his forehead. He did not say what he saw. After looking around, he quickly changed the subject: "Wax museum? Let's find a way out."
Seeing that Jiang Bai had actually woken up, Jiang Yu approached with his companions and said, "It's useless to find the way out. No one knows whether Lu Yanli's ghost is still waiting at the door."
Lu Yanli turned his head and looked at him.
Perhaps he had seen something just now. No matter how Lu Yanli tried to cover it up with a gentle appearance, his glance still made Jiang Yu subconsciously take a step back, and he felt that there was something extremely terrifying hidden in his dark eyes. Soon, he was shocked by his conditioned reflex again, and he knew too well what he had seen just now.
Most of the light came from outside the window, with only a very dim light that seemed to come through the curtains at four or five in the morning. There was also a faint light coming from a bright red statue with a blurred face and twisted limbs in the center of the wax figure group. It was holding a lit candle - although no one knew when it was lit.
Lu Yanli was very familiar with the appearance of the statue. Almost at the moment he saw it, the mark under his collarbone suddenly felt cold.
The others knew what Lu Yanli was thinking. Looking at the faint visible light, they discovered that in the wax museum... something seemed to be wrong
Why do those wax figures seem to be moving slowly? Am I seeing things
Jin Fugui rubbed his eyes. Why did he feel that the statue was a little closer to him
It's an illusion! They are really moving!
"Hide quickly!" Qiu Zhi pulled him.
A statue holding a knife suddenly fell to the ground without any warning, and the knife flew out of his hand and flew straight towards him! If Qiu Zhi had pulled him back, the knife would have stabbed into Jin Fugui's throat.
Jin Fugui wiped his sweat, and when he looked up again, he found that the situation was extremely strange.
The wax figures in the museum have changed!
A wax figure carved into a ghost bride came behind Jiang Bai at some point. She was wearing a bright red wedding dress, and at her feet was a wax figure of a rooster with its head cut off. Her face was pale, and her lips were red, as red as blood. Her eyes were also sparse, with almost no white in them. The ghost bride was twisting a needle and thread in her hand, and the long red thread was tied to her lips, as if she was going to sew her own mouth shut.
Jin Fugui had heard that for some ghost marriages, the groom's family would sew up their mouths with needles after they entered the house to prevent them from going to the underworld to complain after they died.
Now, the bride was twisting the needle and thread, moving closer to Jiang Bai little by little.
Her limbs did not move and her pupils were still dilated, but Jin Fugui was aware that her eyes were fixed on Jiang Bai.
"Jiang Bai, hide quickly!" Jin Fugui screamed in horror.
Lu Yanli wanted to hide, but it was difficult to avoid it. A large amount of melted wax flowed to his feet, fixing his entire body in place, making it difficult to escape. He was also panicking, trying to reach for the axe in the wax figure's hand in front of him, weighing it, and then standing still.
When the wax figure came closer, he chopped it diagonally without hesitation.
“Ahh—”
The sharp howl made one's scalp tingle. The upper body that was cut off fell to the ground, and bright red wax like blood oozed out from the broken wound. It really looked like a living person was chopped off.
The two wax busts slowly melted into the thick layer of wax on the floor. They were sticky and slippery, and slowly, they gradually condensed together.
Lu Yanli didn't have time to care about it, he turned around and chopped the wax figure that was approaching him vertically in half. He knew that his behavior was like drinking poison to quench thirst, so when the wax figure was broken and fell, he became ruthless and chopped the ground at his feet with the axe.
The wax is soft and the axe has difficulty exerting force. Once the axe has chopped it in, it will stick to the wax and be difficult to pull out.
"Jiang Bai, take it!"
Lin Chu didn't know when she escaped. She held two lit candles in her hand and stretched out her hand to hand one to Lu Yanli.
Lu Yanli noticed that a wax figure slowly moved past Lin Chu but did not attack her. He immediately understood something and took the candle.
The wax figure of the ghost bride, which had already solidified, was about to pounce on him, but when Lu Yanli took the candle, it slowly moved to the other side. Then, Lu Yanli bent down, and the flame moved away from the wax that solidified his legs. Soon, the small flame melted the solidified wax into wax oil, and the speed was so fast that it was unbelievable. Lu Yanli took the opportunity to leave.
How could others understand? The candle is the key!
"Lin Chu! Where did you find the candle?" Jiang Yu raised his voice to her.
Because the voice was too loud, the attack on Jiang Yu's group became stronger, and many wax figures changed their positions and moved towards the source of the sound.
"Can you see it yourself?" The matter was too serious, and Lin Chu was too lazy to pretend. She responded in a voice that the other party could hear, then immediately shut up, carefully took out a candle from her pocket, lit it, and handed it to Qiu Zhi who was also entangled, and whispered: "Remember, some of the wax figures in the middle had candles in their hands or pockets."
Qiu Zhi took it and asked casually: "How did you know?"
Of course Lin Chu couldn't tell him, so he shook his head and said, "Keep your voice down, I observed it."
"Don't worry about it, let's go to the center and get some more candles." Lu Yanli said softly.
They observed that the wax figures would subconsciously avoid the flames, were sensitive to sound, and that their speed of movement and recovery was getting faster and faster. With Jiang Yu's skills, he was still almost injured several times.
So... it definitely can't make a sound!
Lu Yanli broke off a small section of his own candle, lit it and handed it to Jin Fugui. The four of them walked slowly towards the center.
