Shi Yu turned around and looked at the place Ying Zhuo mentioned.
Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of a cold little hand resting on my shoulder.
The finger bones of the little hand were very delicate and the skin was the same color as washed white rice paper, without any blood color, as cold and white as a stiff corpse.
Judging from the shape of the palm, the owner of this little hand is still a baby.
But this baby was like a backpack, hanging on Shi Yu's back, and the suction was so strong that there was no sign of it falling off.
Shi Yu herself can't see it, but others can.
Leng Xinyu and Hu Fang's screams came one after another. Only Ying Zhuo was looking at the "baby" behind her and chuckled, as if he had found something very interesting.
"Xiao Yu, this 'monster'..." Ying Zhuo began to study it curiously. "It has four heads."
It has the body and limbs of a baby, but its tiny hands and feet are supported by a very thick neck, and on the neck are four baby heads. Each head was pressed against each other, and it seemed that the neck could hardly bear the weight of the heads.
Seeing his joking look, he was probably not in a hurry at all. He probably felt that this "monster" could not harm him, so he was not in a hurry. She simply followed suit and said, "What does it want to do?"
"?" Hu Fang, Leng Xinyu.
Are you so nonchalant?
Ying Zhuo pinched his chin, leaned over to look at the "baby monsters" lying behind Shi Yu, and said, "They said it's so cold--"
"Cold? Should we find some fire or some clothes to cover them?" Leng Xinyu looked around, at a loss.
"Cold and simple." Shi Yu calmly freed her hands, tapped the screen of her watch with his fingers, moved to her personal information and extracted the mane of the Scythe Knight.
"..." Ying Zhuo.
Shi Yu moved the mane to the baby monster and said softly, "Here, it's for you."
"?" Hu Fang and Leng Xinyu.
Is there such an operation?
The Scythe Knight's mane seemed to be quite useful to this baby monster. Ying Zhuo saw that the four heads all came closer to the mane on Shi Yu's outstretched palm. They seemed to not quite understand what this thing was, but they were naturally attracted to warm things.
Everyone saw that the mane turned into a ball of condensed mist, which was absorbed into the bodies of the four heads and turned into a small piece of clothing.
The four heads giggled at the same time, and the suction on Shi Yu's body gradually loosened, sliding from Shi Yu's back to his legs and then to the floor.
"Is it that simple?" Hu Fang was dumbfounded.
The "baby" crawled slowly on the floor, leaving a shallow stain of water on the road along the way.
It seemed as if water was naturally flowing from its body, which reminded Shi Yu of the well that was isolated.
The whole house was filled with an uncomfortable feeling of dampness, as if raindrops were whizzing down nearby, but no real water droplets appeared. It was just the feeling of water vapor that made everyone feel as if they were in a vast ocean.
The "baby" crawled under a bench, and suddenly, as if it had escaped underground, it treated the entire floor as a lake and dived into it.
The ground where it disappeared also began to ripple like the surface of a lake. After a few seconds, it completely disappeared and returned to its original state.
"Fuck." Hu Fang.
Shi Yu walked to the place where the "baby" disappeared, turned the bench over, and saw a letter under the bench. On the letter was a piece of torn yellow rice paper. It was not clear because of its age, but a few words could be vaguely recognized.
——[Premature...died...transformed into “four-headed babies”...found shelter with people...afraid of fire...]
The lights from the four watches shone on Shi Yu’s hands, making her face look bright and dark.
She said: "The four-headed baby should be the child from before."
"It's afraid of fire. Where can we find fire?" Leng Xinyu raised her eyes and asked.
Shi Yu looked around and found that there were not many things he could use. The ground was covered with messy rune papers piled everywhere, and it was impossible to tell what the original floor looked like.
Ying Zhuo sighed beside him: "You gave the Scythe Knight's mane so easily. If it knew..."
"What would happen if it knew?" Shi Yu heard it and turned around to ask. "Do you know it?"
"No, no, no, I don't." Ying Zhuo smiled.
"From the literal meaning of this note, this four-headed baby likes to lie on people. The Scythe Knight's mane might be of fire attribute, so it left temporarily after getting it." Shi Yu guessed as she searched on the floor.
Leng Xinyu shook off the chillness on her body: "In other words, will it come out again?"
"Probably." Shi Yu was as calm as ever, and pointed at the position under Leng Xinyu's feet: "Maybe it will crawl out from under your feet in a while."
"Ahhh!" Leng Xinyu screamed and ran away, jumping three feet high.
These were all Shi Yu's guesses, but the damaged notebook was soon gathered by four people in the corner of the room, and the contents they pieced together were incredible.
——【If a premature baby is placed in a well and dies, the vengeful spirit will condense and turn into a 'four-headed baby'. This evil creature is a water-based vengeful spirit, and when it encounters a human being, it will gradually suck the human's essence and blood. But this monster is afraid of fire and heat, so you can defeat it by lighting a lamp all night long at home.
——Master Xuanling.
When the four words "Master Xuanling "appeared in front of Shi Yu for the second time, she suddenly had a guess in her mind: "The pregnancy medicine in the kitchen shows that this family really wants a child, but the appearance of 'four babies' in this family means that a child had died in the past."
Shi Yu looked at the couplets written in the main hall and thought of Hu Fang's previous guess, which seemed to be correct. She said, "This family... wants to have a son."
The other three were shocked. If they wanted to have a son... then the formation of the "four-headed baby" was because...
Shi Yu turned around and glanced at the others with complicated expressions, and said regretfully, "What else could it be? It's not a son."
Everyone remembered the family letter found in Butler Liu's room.
——[The master has committed many sins, and even Master Xuanling cannot save him. 】
From the literal meaning, the note about the "four-headed baby" should have been written by Master Xuanling to Liu Dafu, in order to help Liu Dafu exorcise demons and avoid evil spirits at home.
But here comes the problem.
"If you don't do anything wrong in your daily life, you won't have to be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door at night." Shi Yu snorted, she put down the notebook and walked towards the puzzle lock.
The people in this house put up talismans on the ground and placed Buddha statues on the ground.
It is nothing more than driving away the evil in one's heart.
The puzzle is not very difficult to solve. The 12 blocks can be easily assembled by moving them along the lines.
Hu Fang and Leng Xinyu stood on Shi Yu's left and right, watching Shi Yu concentrating on solving the puzzle.
Everyone gasped as the puzzle pieces began to take shape.
The content of the puzzle was actually...
a ferocious yellow tiger gnawing on a tiger cub!
Before the game started, the introductory words on the watch suddenly appeared in everyone's memory.
Like thunder in one's ears.
——Is it true that even a tiger will not eat its own cubs?
If you move the last piece of the puzzle one step down, you can unlock the entire puzzle.
But Ying Zhuo suddenly stretched out his hand, held Shi Yu's fingers that were suspended in mid-air, and said in a stern manner: "Wait a moment."
"What's wrong?" Shi Yu was suddenly interrupted and was a little confused. She looked up, but saw Ying Zhuo's eyes full of solemnity.
He seldom showed such a serious expression. Seeing Ying Zhuo frowning slightly, Hu Fang and Leng Xinyu felt something was wrong and hurriedly asked what was wrong.
"I felt like there was 'something' inside the door," he said.
When the word "thing" was uttered, Ying Zhuo's eyebrows drooped slightly, and his thick and long eyelashes were coated with a layer of caution as if facing a great enemy.
Shi Yu calmed her heartbeat: "Should we go in then?"
When asking this question, Shi Yu knew in her heart that they had to go in, but no one knew what they would encounter after entering.
Ying Zhuo's abilities sometimes appear and sometimes disappear, and he doesn't know if there will be a black cat to save him if he encounters anything.
"Otherwise, let's go find some fire or something." Hu Fang finally made a constructive suggestion.
His idea was very simple. Since he knew that the "four-headed baby" was afraid of fire, he might as well get some fire source first. Even if it was of no use at that time, it would make him feel better.
The flame was not easy to find, as the entire Liu residence was in darkness.
The four people once again split up, each standing on one wall, and searched everywhere.
Ten minutes passed.
Aimless searching always makes people anxious.
"Click--" When Shi Yu was walking along the west wall, he accidentally stepped on something.
Following the sound, Shi Yu found a matchbox.
"Found it." Shi Yu was delighted. He opened the matchbox, took out a match, turned back to the corner, and took a candle off the candlestick.
The match created a spark that ignited the wick of the candle, and a very faint flame emanated from Shi Yu's palm.
With the firelight as a scare, everyone became a little more alert, but when they reached the door, Leng Xinyu screamed again: "I saw a person behind the door!"
A person?
Shi Yu frowned, looking at a figure vaguely visible behind the thin door frame.
Hu Fang cried, "Sister, please stop scaring me."
Ying Zhuo held up the candlestick and carefully protected the flame. It was not only a channel for lighting, but also a fire that might save them.
Shi Yu looked at him and the latter nodded: "Open it."
Hu Fang and Leng Xinyu quickly hugged each other and hid behind Shi Yu, trembling.
When Shi Yu placed her finger on the last piece of the puzzle, she felt a very strong cold air coming from the crack in the door.
It was like entering a morgue, with the chill of corpse odor pressing against one's face.
The resentment is overwhelming and the wronged souls are innocent.
Shi Yu said to herself: "Every wrong has its perpetrator, I didn't hurt you, and you can't hurt me."
She moved the puzzle, and after the last piece fell into place, the entire lock fell off the cabinet.
The door opened a crack, and a strange force came and pushed the door open directly in Shi Yu's direction.
The door frame hit the back of her hand. Shi Yu let go in pain and subconsciously took a few steps back.
When he looked up again, he saw an axe coming towards Shi Yu's head from top to bottom.
"Be careful!" Ying Zhuo warned loudly.
Shi Yu reacted quickly. She turned and rolled to the side, letting the axe fall to the ground with a clang.
The floor was shaking and buzzing due to the sharp blade of the axe, and it also chopped the souls of Hu Fang and Leng Xinyu into pieces.
The two of them screamed and ran around the room.
Shi Yu looked up at the man holding the axe. He was wearing a melon-shaped hat, his face was as black as coal, and his eyes were bloodshot. It was the butler Liu who had disappeared not long ago.
Steward Liu held the axe in his hand and chased after Shi Yu once again, muttering something.
——"The master said that if you dare to escape from the mansion, you will be killed!"
——"Marrying into the Liu family is your supreme honor!"
——"Second Madam, please don't be ungrateful!" Shi Yu
dodged left and right. The axe was extremely fast, but it could not hinder Shi Yu.
The blade was sharp and scraped against Shi Yu's face. She barely dodged the horizontal slash and turned to the right.
When he looked up again, Ying Zhuo was st
anding behind the opened east door, waving at Shi Yu and shouting hurriedly!
"Xiao Yu! Come here quickly!"
Ying Zhuo's voice and the sound of the axe chopping mixed with the sound of wind rang out at the same time!
