Mysterious recovery: starting from the mysterious bus

Chapter 99 Ghost in Consciousness

"Crack!"

When the rusty door handle bent to 180 degrees, the door lock was successfully opened. Now Li Hui only needs to push in, and the door of this room will be pushed open.

finally.

With a creaking sound, Li Hui successfully pushed open the bedroom door on the second floor of the ancient house, and the scene inside the room was revealed to Li Hui.

The environment inside the house was pitch black without any light. Standing at the door of this bedroom was like standing at the entrance to hell.

The gray paper dust drifted in. Although it could not affect the objects in the room, it also allowed Li Hui to 'see' the layout of the room clearly.

The decoration style in the room is very similar to the style of the Republic of China, with old-fashioned tiles, worn-out chandeliers that have long been extinguished, and various slightly faded furniture...

The whole room was filled with a dark atmosphere, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

There was a dark sandalwood bed placed against the wall at the end of the room. It seemed to have been vacant for a long time, and the wooden bed was already covered with dust.

Besides.

There was also a wooden table, two chairs, and something that looked like a wardrobe in the room, but they were all covered in dust.

In addition, there was an extremely special-looking item in the room, which was also the item that caught Li Hui's attention immediately.

That's a dresser!

Like other furniture, the dressing table in the bedroom is also made of wood and sprayed with dark red paint, but most of the paint has peeled off, making it look extremely old and mottled.

But one thing was different. All the other items in the bedroom were covered with dust, but the dresser looked extremely clean without any dust. This was why it caught Li Hui's attention in the first place.

"It seems that the previous owner of this bedroom was a woman." After thinking, Li Hui walked to the dressing table.

There are many auxiliary items for makeup on the dressing table, such as wooden combs, bronze mirrors and other items. In addition, there are some opened small boxes containing some cosmetics.

Of course, those are not cosmetics in modern society, but items used for makeup in the old society. It was something from the Republic of China. In that era, it was called "rouge and gouache".

But the weird thing is.

Not only is the dressing table in front of Li Hui not stained with any dust, even the 'rouge and gouache' that have been placed on the dressing table for a long time are still brand new, as if they were just bought. It seems that they have not experienced a long time at all. The baptism of time is like a baptism.

This is obviously a very abnormal situation.

You must know that even the paint on the dresser itself and even other furniture in the room has mostly peeled off. How can some cosmetics be stored for such a long time without deteriorating? They even faintly exude a special rouge fragrance.

"A supernatural item?" Li Hui's expression changed slightly. At this moment, he suddenly thought of the ghost controller codenamed "Ghost Makeup" in the original work.

The ghost controller named 'A Hong' has a makeup box in his hand. It is a supernatural item. The pigments stored in it can draw ghost makeup, and then give himself the six characteristics of the painted person. layer of supernatural power.

Li Hui, who has read the original work, knows very well that the actual source of A Hong’s ghost makeup items is most likely from Zhang Youhong, one of the Seven Elders of the Republic of China.

Zhang Youhong's wooden man can be painted to look like other people, and then he also has 60% of the supernatural power of the copied person. After becoming an alien, the wooden man no longer needs paint, but before he becomes an alien, the wooden man needs Paint to draw the pattern.

of course.

This is just the highest possibility, there are other possibilities.

For example, the paint in A Hong's old makeup box is actually the supernatural source of ghost paintings, because the dyes in the dye vats used to draw the portraits can also give the reflected figures 60% of the original supernatural powers...

Thinking.

Li Hui picked up a box of light red rouge on the dressing table and looked at it.

However, the strange thing is that he did not feel any trace of supernatural power on this box of rouge, as if what he was holding in his hand at this moment was really an ordinary box of rouge.

After looking at it for a moment, Li Hui, who found nothing unusual, put down the rouge box in his hand, and then picked up another item on the dressing table.

It was a relatively well-preserved wooden comb. It was dark red all over. I don't know if it was sprayed with this color of paint or if the raw material of the comb was dark red wood.

The moment the wooden comb came into his hands, Li Hui felt an extremely cold feeling, as if what he was holding in his hand was not a wooden comb but an ice cube.

What surprised Li Hui was that after carefully looking at it, he didn't find any supernatural traces on the wooden comb. He seemed to regard the comb as an ordinary item.

Not only that.

Li Hui also checked the dressing table and several other makeup-assisted items on the dressing table one by one, and still found no trace of supernatural power on it.

In other words, under his inspection, everything in front of him was normal and did not possess supernatural powers.

It's just that this result obviously won't satisfy Li Hui. After all, in a place like this, a discerning person can tell that something is wrong at a glance, but there is no supernatural residue on the dressing table. This in itself is an extremely abnormal manifestation!

"It should be the reason for this ancient house. Not only can it shield the ghost realm from detection and not be exposed in the ghost realm, it can even affect the perception of people who enter the ancient house."

Li Hui had such doubts in his heart.

He wasn't sure if there was anything wrong with the other furniture in this bedroom, but judging from the current situation, Li Hui absolutely didn't believe that there was nothing wrong with the dressing table in front of him.

Li Hui felt that the dressing table was probably a supernatural object, and the other items on the dressing table were also abnormal.

"I wonder if the hatchet medium can detect the source of these things."

While thinking.

A rusty, old hatchet appeared strangely in front of Li Hui.

Then Li Hui reached out and grabbed the hatchet in front of him, and then held the rouge box again with his other hand, hoping to trigger the medium through this contact.

As long as the rouge box has traces left over from the previous owner's use, then the hatchet's medium can be successfully triggered.

Almost the moment Li Hui held the rouge box, the hatchet medium was successfully triggered, and the scene in front of Li Hui suddenly changed.

In Hatchet's media image, the room is still the same room, but the scene inside the house has become completely different.

The dust on the wooden bed, wooden table, and wooden stools in the room has all disappeared, and the peeling dark red paint has also been restored. All the furniture and items have become as if they were newly purchased, including the dressing table in front of Li Hui!

At the same time, a figure was reflected in the bronze mirror on the dressing table.

It was a woman, probably in her thirties, wearing a white dress. She was sitting in front of the dressing table, combing her hair with the dark red wooden comb.

Seeing this scene, Li Hui's eyes moved slightly and he began to look at the middle-aged woman sitting next to him who was constantly combing her hair.

Due to the angle of view, Li Hui could only see the side face of the woman.

But even so, Li Hui instantly recognized the identity of the middle-aged woman. She was the one who arrived at this supernatural place on the bus with him, got off the bus and disappeared directly into his ghost world. Only fierce ghosts.

The only difference was that the figure of the fierce ghost on the bus looked extremely blurry, like a reflected figure, but the middle-aged woman in front of him was very real and did not have that illusion.

"This is... what this bedroom looked like in the past?" Li Hui glanced at the completely new room and the furniture and items in the room, and couldn't help but secretly guessed in his heart.

Not only the furniture in the room has become new, but also the ceiling of this bedroom, the old cracked tiles on the walls, the damaged chandelier and other items have all become new.

There are only two possibilities for this situation, either this is the real scene of the room, or this is the scene of the bedroom in the past.

The old hatchet has a very special ability. It contains more than one evil ghost. In addition to the ability to trigger the medium to dismember other people, it also has the ability to trace the past. It can understand a certain time period in an area through the medium of the hatchet. what happened.

Li Hui felt that the scene in front of him was probably what happened in this room at some time in the past, and then it reappeared in front of him through the media image of the hatchet.

"This middle-aged woman should have been a ghost controller during the Republic of China. She may even be the owner of this old house."

Based on the scene in front of him, Li Hui quickly speculated in his mind.

He believed that even if this middle-aged woman was not the owner of the house, she still had a great connection with this ancient house. For example, Zhang Dong was just like his teammates. The ancient house where Zhang Dong was located also had some traces of his teammates’ lives. or items.

"If my guess is correct, then the slightly unreal ghost on the bus should be a supernatural puzzle controlled by a middle-aged woman. Like most of the powerful ghost controllers in the Republic of China, she should have died before she died. He dismembered the supernatural being he controlled."

But then a new problem appeared again.

If the evil ghost is just part of a supernatural puzzle, doesn't it mean that the body of the middle-aged woman is probably still somewhere in this ancient house?

But the moment Li Hui had this idea, the scene in front of him changed again.

The brand-new furniture once again turned into the same old and peeling paint. At the same time, other objects in the room were also becoming shabby, just like what Li Hui saw when he opened the door. It seemed that in an instant, everything in this room had changed. Everything has gone through a long period of baptism.

But the middle-aged woman did not disappear. She was still sitting next to Li Hui, but she stopped combing her hair. At the same time, her neck was twisted at ninety degrees, and her empty, dead eyes looked straight at Li Hui. Hui.

This is an extremely strange picture.

The figure in the hatchet medium is actually looking at Li Hui in reality through the hatchet medium.

"Ok?"

Seeing this, Li Hui didn't hesitate at all. He swung down the old hatchet in his hand and chopped down the body of the middle-aged woman next to him.

But the ending is surprising.

The curse of the hatchet was not successfully triggered. The woman's body was not supernaturally dismembered by the hatchet. Similarly, Li Hui himself did not suffer the backlash of the curse of the hatchet.

Not only that.

Li Hui's behavior seemed to trigger some unknown supernatural rules, causing him to be attacked by evil spirits.

A slightly illusory figure appeared directly in Li Hui's consciousness. It was the evil ghost who got off the bus. The 30% supernatural power of the bus driven by Li Hui failed to stop the evil ghost from invading him.

Under the influence of the evil ghost, Li Hui's consciousness was pulled into a supernatural space. The entire space was rendered in black and white, making the whole space appear illusory and unreal.

In the entire supernatural space, there were only Li Hui's consciousness and the ghost that looked like a middle-aged woman. At this moment, the ghost was walking stiffly and quickly approaching Li Hui's location.

And on the other side.

Yang Xiao and others' search for the ancient house was also hampered, especially when the souls who opened the closed bedroom doors on both sides of the hall on the first floor encountered supernatural phenomena.

For example, Yang Xiao himself.

He acted together with a dead soul named Xiao Chengtai, and the moment he pushed open the door of the bedroom on the far left side of the hall, he discovered the strange items inside.

There was a red coffin placed in the house!

The red paint was as bright as blood, giving people an extremely permeable feeling. What was even more strange was that the coffin lid had fallen aside, and there was no body inside the coffin.

If it's just like this, it's okay. No one has ever used the coffin to explain it. But from Yang Xiao's perspective, it can be clearly seen that there are many scratches inside the coffin. The marks are like human fingernails scratching on it. It came out average.

"Did the contents of the coffin escape? Then where is it?" Yang Xiao's expression moved slightly and he looked around.

The interior space of this room was not large. Apart from the bright red coffin, there was only a dark wooden cabinet left inside.

The cabinet is about as tall as a person. I don't know what it is used to store, but it is not easy to put such an object in the same room as a coffin.

It was with this idea in mind that Yang Xiao and Xiao Chengtai walked into the room without showing much scruple.

In their opinion, even if there is a ghost in this house, it is not a big deal. The strength of the two of them is enough to deal with most emergencies.

It's just something people didn't expect.

As soon as Yang Xiao and the two entered the room, the door behind them closed with a bang, and the scene in the room was completely plunged into darkness.

Tread, tap, tap...

At the same time there were footsteps in the darkness.

The sound seemed very dull and stiff, not like the steps that a living person could make, but like a corpse walking.
