In the dim courtyard, there were occasional knocks on the door, so loud that Ron couldn't help but feel nervous.

Jiang Yan took the butcher knife and slowly pushed open the vermilion door, looking out with his dark eyes.

As before, there was no one outside the door, only two lanterns, one large and one small, emitting a faint red light.

But Jiang Yan knew that the nightmare was outside the door at the moment, so he didn't dare to open the door too wide, fearing that the nightmare would take the opportunity to slip in.

He leaned half of his body out of the door, but didn't dare to walk out completely, so that he could block the nightmare from entering.

After doing this posture, he waved the butcher knife in his hand and swept it forward a few times, but the result was naturally in vain.

"Sure enough, if I don't close my eyes, I still can't touch that thing." He had to give up the last bit of luck and slowly closed his eyes.

After closing his eyes, there was darkness in front of him, and there was silence outside the door, and only the sound of cold wind could be heard.

Seeing this, Ron behind the door also closed his eyes. As long as Jiang Yan gave an order, he would use the broom in his hand.

After they all closed their eyes, a dark figure gradually appeared outside the gate.

It was an old farmer wearing a straw hat, with sunken eye sockets and dry and wrinkled skin like orange peel.

At this moment, it was standing on the right side of Jiang Yan, and its empty eyes observed the interior of the courtyard through the crack of the door.

Suddenly, it raised its dry and yellow hand and slammed it hard against the vermilion door.

"Bang!"

But this time it only rang once, and the next moment, a black butcher knife had dismembered its arm.

The sound of it slamming the door exposed its position. After Jiang Yan found out, he attacked him without hesitation, the first knife, the second knife, the third knife...

In a short period of time, Jiang Yan had chopped a full eight times.

The old farmer's arms and head were seriously injured, especially the right arm was completely chopped off.

This was when Jiang Yan closed his eyes. If Jiang Yan opened his eyes and launched an attack, the old farmer's five limbs would be dismembered.

The old farmer was unstable under the attack and slowly stepped back a few steps. It seemed that he had given up the intention of attacking, but his empty eyes were still looking at the interior of the courtyard.

After realizing that the other party had left his attack range, Jiang Yan knew the principle of not chasing after a desperate enemy. He did not dare to leave the door, so he urged Ron:

"Quick, use the broom!"

Jiang Yan immediately retreated after saying that, and accurately grabbed Ron and pushed him out based on his previous memory.

Ron also closed his eyes and could not see where the thing outside the door was. He could only sweep the door hard with the broom.

Fortunately, one of the sweeps happened to hit the old farmer's position.

The ground was stirred up by the broom. The old farmer's incomplete body was wrapped in dust, and then suddenly stopped for a while.

Its body began to tremble slightly, as if it was fighting against the strangeness of the broom.

This process lasted for more than ten seconds. If it had not been dismembered, the old farmer might have been able to resist the broom, but now that it had been chopped so many times by Jiang Yan, the horror level was greatly reduced.

Finally, it could not bear the broom's drive and turned away.

Listening to the gradually fading footsteps, Jiang Yan knew that the thing had left.

He opened his eyes and found that there was still no one outside the door.

"Is it solved?" Ron asked a little nervously, after all, he was facing the door now and just wanted to come back quickly.

"It left, come back." Jiang Yan said.

After hearing this, Ron opened his eyes and looked outside the door. Sure enough, there was no one.

He looked at the vermilion door again and was surprised to find that there were many sunken palm prints somewhere on the door. Although they were very shallow, these palm prints had caused damage to the door.

And a closer look revealed that there were six fingers on these palm prints.

Ron felt creepy and immediately retreated.

The two quickly closed the vermilion door, fearing that something unexpected would happen.

"It's solved, can we go back?" Ron asked a little scared. He just wanted to get back to the main room as soon as possible and didn't want to stay outside.

"Go back." Jiang Yan nodded and turned to leave.

The two continued to return along the previous path, but when they reached the door of the east wing, Jiang Yan suddenly stopped.

Seeing him suddenly stop, Ron was a little surprised and asked anxiously:

"What's wrong?"

Jiang Yan didn't speak, looking at the door of the east wing with a look of horror.

When they came out before, he confirmed that the door was closed, but now there was a slight gap in the door, as if it had been opened.

"This door has just been opened." He said in a serious tone.

"What? The door was opened, who on earth..." Ron suddenly felt a little scalpDamn.

They just dealt with the ghost outside the door for only a few minutes, and they had been blocking the door all the time, so no other nightmares would come in.

So Jiang Yan knew that if there was something wrong with this door, it was likely that the thing inside had made some movement.

"Do you want to go in and take a look?" Ron suggested in a trembling voice.

Jiang Yan glanced at him. He didn't expect this guy to be so cowardly, but to say such brave words.

"Only a fool would go in." Jiang Yan refused unceremoniously. Now this wing room could still trap the thing inside, so it was better not to destroy the balance for the time being.

He slowly pulled the door of the wing room and prepared to close it a little tighter.

However, just after closing the door, the door slowly turned again, and finally opened a thin gap of the same size as before.

Jiang Yan knew that this was not because the door was broken and could not be closed, but the result of competition between supernatural powers.

Since it could not be closed, he didn't care so much and left quickly with Ron.

After the two of them left, a faint "creak" sound was heard, and the door of the east wing opened a little more, and the gap was already one finger wide.

Behind the crack of the door, a scarlet eye quietly looked outside, and the direction of sight was exactly the direction Jiang Yan left.

After returning to the main room, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw them back.

"Have you solved that thing?" Lu Tao asked for safety.

"It has been expelled temporarily. If that thing is stared at, it can't move, and it can't be touched, so we have to close our eyes and expel it." Jiang Yan explained.

"An invisible nightmare? Interesting, you can think of a solution." Lu Tao didn't lie. If it were him, he might not be able to solve it in such a short time.

"Nothing, just luck, I've seen similar evil spirits before." Jiang Yan replied.

"There is no luck in the supernatural world. Only those who understand the rules can survive to the end." Lu Tao said meaningfully.

At this moment, with a "bang", the door of the main room shook visibly.

A gust of cold wind rushed in, and the candle on the altar suddenly jumped and almost went out.

Everyone was startled and looked at each other...
