After Marrying the Lord of the Underworld

This was repeated for nearly a dozen rounds, but nothing happened.

Four people coughed in turn, and there was not one more person in the room.

It doesn't make sense to continue like this.

Lu Yingjiu lit a talisman paper, and the utility room was filled with warm light.He said, "Stop for a while." He looked at Chen Yanyan, "You can recall more details, and we will restore the scene as much as possible. The higher the degree of restoration, the greater the chance of finding the ghost."

Everyone came out from the corner, Jing Xian leaned against the wall and stood behind Lu Yingjiu, while the other three sat on the floor.

Chen Yanyan wrung his hands.

She was quite uneasy because of the game just now, and said, "What more details do you need?"

"Let's start with the standing position." Lu Yingjiu said, "At the very beginning of the game, which corner are the four of you standing in?"

Chen Yanyan tried his best to recall, pointing to a corner: "I am standing here."

She pointed to other corners: "Fan Xin is there, my boyfriend Ke Yu is there, and the farthest corner is Fan Xin's boyfriend Lu Fanghong."

"and then?"

Chen Yanyan said: "Then, after we played for more than ten rounds, suddenly no one coughed anymore. Fan Xin looked back and the lights came on."

Lu Yingjiu pondered for a few seconds and said, "I have a question."

"What?" Chen Yanyan stared at him subconsciously.

Lu Yingjiu raised her eyes: "Among you, is there someone cheating?"

Chen Yanyan was stunned.

Lu Yingjiu said again: "This game is actually very simple to cheat. For example, in our game just now, I started first, and Chen Yanyan patted Xiao Li, and Xiao Li patted Jingxian. Jing Xian walked forward and met the corner I left, so Jing Xian coughed."

He continued: "But if, after filming Chen Yanyan, I secretly turn around and return to the place where I was, then Jingxian will not meet a deserted corner, but will directly meet me."

"At this time, I walked forward and didn't cough when I met no one's corner. Instead, I jumped over to take a picture of Chen Yanyan. Then I used the same method to go back to the previous corner, so no one would cough again. .”

Lu Yingjiu looked at Chen Yanyan again: "I've always been puzzled by the fact that even if there is something wrong with this slaughterhouse, in one afternoon, a very simple supernatural game shouldn't attract such powerful evil spirits."

Chen Yanyan hesitated and said: "I...I don't know... If someone really cheated, it's impossible to turn on all the lights the moment Fan Xin turned her head? The light switch is outside the house, so you don't leave the house No one can open it. If you open the door and go out, everyone will hear it."

"That's not necessarily true." Lu Yingjiu said, "There is another possibility: using talisman paper."

For exorcists, it is not difficult to turn on a few lights.

But among the four students, Chen Yanyan was the only one who had contact with exorcising ghosts.

Chen Yanyan blinked: "Mr. Lu, are you doubting me?" She bit her lip, "Fan Xin and I are the biggest victims of this game. My family and my best friend are the ones who died." My friend, how could I lie about this kind of thing..."

"I'm just analyzing the possibility." Lu Yingjiu smiled, "I didn't say it must be you, did I?"

Chen Yanyan stopped talking, and after a while, she sighed softly: "I'll continue talking. After the lights came on, we panicked, so we left the room and ran towards the exit. We got separated as we ran."

"Separated?" Lu Yingjiu paused.

He had never heard this detail from anyone.

"Yes." Chen Yanyan said, "I was with Ke Yu, and Fan Xin was with Lu Fanghong. In the end, Ke Yu and I went out first and stayed outside the slaughterhouse. About 5 minutes later, Lu Fanghong helped Fan Xin came out. Fan Xin accidentally fell while running away, luckily Lu Fanghong was there."

"Afterwards, we calmed down a little bit, and joked that it was a coincidence that the people got separated. They were all separated by a pair. I also told Fan Xin that Lu Fanghong is very kind to you, and you can be reliable at critical moments. Get married." Her voice became smaller and smaller, "What more details do you need?"

Lu Yingjiu asked a bunch of questions, such as what they did before they entered the utility room, what they were wearing that day, whether there were any strange things when they ran away, etc., but none of them were very special.

In the end, he said: "Perhaps the most critical issue lies in 'people'."

"People?" Xiao Li was puzzled, "Who?"

Lu Yingjiu said: "The four of us are very different from the four of us back then, even the genders don't match."

Xiao Li was dumbfounded: "Then what should we do? Do we need to find a foreign aid girl?"

"It may not be successful." Lu Yingjiu said, "The most important thing is not who we are, but who that ghost thinks we are."

"Then stick the talisman paper to disguise it?"

He replied: "There is a better way." He looked at Chen Yanyan, "You were an art student before, can you draw the appearance of the other three people on paper?"

2 hours later.

The mask processing room on the negative floor.

Xiao Li came back panting with a lot of things, and said, "Brother Lu, I brought the things over from the door, can you see if there is anything missing?"

He put the plastic bag on the ground, which contained several bottles of developer.

It is used to develop old photos.This kind of thing is rarely sold now, but Lu Yingjiu called Chen Xiaoling, and within 2 hours, the developer was delivered.

Lu Yingjiu picked a workbench, and took out a huge square iron box from among a pile of dusty equipment.The box was very shallow, he simply cleaned it with talisman paper, and filled it with developer.

He had three portraits of people on hand.

The papers are all roughly cropped to the size of a human face.

It was drawn by Chen Yanyan, who drew the faces of Fan Xin, Ke Yu and Lu Fanghong.After all, she is an art student, and her paintings are of her familiar friends, lifelike.

Lu Yingjiu first picked up Fan Xin's portrait, and carefully put it into the developer.

When the liquid completely submerged the paper, he sank the talisman paper he had prepared into it as well.

Next, he did the same thing, dipping the other two paintings into the liquid, and turned on the phone to start timing.

Jing Xian watched intently from the side.

Lu Yingjiu took a look at him and explained to him: "I learned about the Weaving Cloud Art because of my interest before. The process of printing the faces on the portraits on the leather is very similar to developing photos. They all use Developer. But I don’t know how to draw their runes, I can only find out similar effects.”

They wait like this until the timer hits 5 minutes.

Lu Yingjiu took out the first piece of paper with tweezers.

The paper used to be white with black lines, but now it has become black with white lines—black and white reversed, just like those developed negatives.

He shook the tweezers lightly to shake off the excess liquid, placed it lightly on a piece of dry white paper, took an extremely thin pen, and slowly drew complex lines starting from the forehead.

Jing Xian helped and spread the other two paintings on the white paper as well.

For the next half an hour, Lu Yingjiu patiently drew lines on the three faces.

By this time, the paper was almost dry.He held up several fake masks and said, "We've got to cover our faces with it."

"How?" Xiao Li asked.

Lu Yingjiu pointed to his forehead: "Paste it with transparent glue."

In the end, Lu Yingjiu had Fan Xin's portrait on his forehead, Jing Xian was dressed as Ke Yu, and Xiao Li was dressed as Lu Fanghong.

Xiao Li asked: "Can this really fool that ghost?" When he spoke, the air from his mouth blew up the paper.

Lu Yingjiu's impromptu paper mask, even if the color is not mentioned, has nothing to do with "realism". Even a deeply myopic eye can see something wrong from 100 meters away.

"No problem." Lu Yingjiu said with a smile.

They returned to the utility room and stood in the corresponding four corners of the room according to their identities.

Lu Yingjiu extinguished the fire.

The game still started from him, he walked clockwise and patted Chen Yanyan on the shoulder.Then Chen Yanyan walked forward and patted Jing Xian.

This round of coughing is Xiao Li.

In the second round, it was Jing Xian who coughed.

The third round...

This time, Lu Yingjiu was patted on the shoulder twice again, but he didn't hear the coughing sound.

For the next two or three minutes, there was no coughing sound.

There is one more person in the room.

This time, they finally succeeded.

Lu Yingjiu flipped his right hand lightly, and in the darkness where he couldn't see his fingers, a talisman was tightly held in his hand.

But in the next second, a strong sense of weightlessness came!

Everyone's feet were empty, falling into the endless darkness.Lu Yingjiu reacted extremely quickly, adjusted his figure in mid-air, and was about to land in a perfect one-handed position when suddenly his whole body fell into some kind of softness that didn't belong to the ground.

Lu Yingjiu: "..."

In Jing Xian's arms, he said in a muffled voice: "Why do I feel that since we met, we have been cuddling all the time."

Jing Xian smiled, his chest was vibrating, and he let go of Lu Yingjiu's hand.

Lu Yingjiu took off the portrait of the face stuck on his forehead, and at the same time tore a talisman paper and lit it.

When the light came on, he saw a corridor so deep that it couldn't see the end.

They should be somewhere in the slaughterhouse.

Back then, Chen Yanyan and the others dispersed anxiously after finishing the game, and formed groups of two.Now the same is the case:

They put on paper masks to restore the scene.

The summoned ghosts also tried to restore the scene and separated them into teams.

Lu Yingjiu has seen similar things many times, so he doesn't find it strange.

but……

Lu Yingjiu said: "Jing Xian, when Chen Yanyan said that when they fled in a hurry, she should be with Ke Yu, and Fan Xin and Lu Fanghong should be together."

"Yes." Jing Xian nodded, "They are each with their boyfriends."

Lu Yingjiu said: "However, I am playing Fan Xin, you are Ke Yu, and Xiao Li is Lu Fanghong. Logically speaking, now I should stay with Xiao Li, and you should stay with Chen Yanyan. Why? Isn't this combination right?"

He thought: "Since all the ghosts from back then have come, there shouldn't be such a deviation..."

Lu Yingjiu paused for a few seconds, bowed her head, and sent a few messages to Chen Xiaoling.

After sending the message, he heard Jing Xian say: "There is a mirror here."

Lu Yingjiu walked over.The mirror was dusty, and there were several hideous cracks spreading like spider webs.The faces of the two of them are inside, broken and unfamiliar.

One tall and one short.

One male and one female.

Lu Yingjiu clearly looked like Chen Yanyan in the mirror.And Jing Xian is a young boy with a cropped cut and a scar on his forehead.

Before Lu Yingjiu asked Chen Xiaoling to check on Ke Yu and Lu Fanghong, in case they suffered the same bad luck as Chen Yanyan.Therefore, he had seen the photos of the two of them, and recognized that the one in the mirror was indeed Ke Yu.

He frowned.

If he was regarded as "Chen Yanyan" by the ghost, then who did Chen Yanyan become, Fan Xin?

Before Lu Yingjiu could clear her mind, the two people in the mirror suddenly smiled.

The smile was cut to pieces by the crack.

"Whoa-"

The mirror surface was shattered, and two pale hands suddenly protruded from the inside of the glass!

At this moment, Lu Yingjiu could actually react.

He has already made a trick in his hand, as long as he wants to, he can shake the ghost's hand back.But he finally let go of his hand and let the ghost hand pull him into the mirror.

Just before being dragged into it, he clearly saw that the ghostly hand stretched out to Jingxian flinched.

It seemed that he didn't dare to catch it.

Then Jing Xian remained calm, stretched out his hand on his own initiative, grabbed the hand of the ghost who was about to escape, and forced his way into the mirror together.

Lu Yingjiu: "...?"

Ghost Hand: "...!"

It was pitch black in front of him, and when his vision recovered, Lu Yingjiu saw a man and a woman running in the dark corridor.

It was Chen Yanyan and Ke Yu from the past.

The expressions of the two were extremely frightened.

The scene in front of him was the scene of those people running away after the Four Corners game was over.

Chen Yanyan was wearing red strappy sandals, and was running fast, but one shoe fell on the way, so he could only run with one bare foot.And Ke Yu held her hand tightly, panting, "Hurry up! The exit is just ahead!"

Chen Yanyan replied with tears in his voice: "I can't run anymore!"

Ke Yu had great strength and dragged her forward.The figures of the two disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Lu Yingjiu tried to reach out to them, but an invisible barrier stopped him.

He turned his head and met Jing Xian's gaze.

The two of them seemed to be alone in a small space, watching images from the past.

Lu Yingjiu couldn't hold back anymore, and said, "Why did you squeeze in when you're fine?"

Jing Xian had an innocent face: "I don't have one." Then Lu Yingjiu poked him lightly and lightly.

The two got closer, as if in the car, Lu Yingjiu smelled cold.

This taste is really special.

Lu Yingjiu was silent for a while, and said: "Jing Xian, when this matter is resolved, I have something to tell you."

"Huh?" Jing Xian looked at him, scratching his ears with a deep voice, "What's the matter, can't you talk about it here?"

Lu Yingjiu smiled lightly: "Now is not the time."

The sight in front of him turned again, and Chen and Ke stopped at a corner.

Chen Yanyan panted heavily, supporting his knees with both hands, while Ke Yu looked nervous and kept looking behind him.

Chen Yanyan said: "We must have gone wrong! We should have gone to the right at the last corner!"

"Then where is this place?" Ke Yu asked.

"I don't know." Chen Yanyan shook his head, "I clearly, clearly remember that there is no road here."

"Then what should I do?" Ke Yu hesitated, "Otherwise, I'll turn on the flashlight and take a look."

Chen Yanyan nodded.

For this courage test, they brought all kinds of small equipment, such as amulets, talisman paper, flashlights, red and white candles, and compasses.

They ran away all the way, because they were worried that the light would expose them, they ran in the dark, they both hit hard, and there must be a bunch of bruises after returning.

Ke Yu carefully took out the flashlight and turned it on.

The light of the flashlight flickered a few times, and finally illuminated the corridor——

"Ah!" Chen Yanyan exclaimed, his hands and feet became even colder.

I saw that wherever the light beam passed, there were all human faces!

Not only those two people were terrified, but Lu Yingjiu, who was watching, also frowned.

In front of them, masks were glued to the wall one by one, line by line.As far as Lu Yingjiu looked, he saw at least thirty or forty masks.Not to mention that the corridor is so long, there may be hundreds of them.

There was a subtle fishy smell in the air.

The smell of rotten fish and rotten shrimp.

In a place where the light of the fire could not reach, a few mutated cockroaches that could make Xiao Li scream were swinging their tentacles and crawling around on the mask.

"What's going on here?!" Ke Yu's flashlight almost came out, "Why is your mask hanging here!"

Chen Yanyan was also in doubt.

Her nerves were tense, and she vaguely felt that there was something wrong with these masks, but she couldn't tell, so she just said in a daze, "Where is the exit? Where is the exit!"

They wanted to run back, but the corridor had no end in sight, and they couldn't find the corner.

Both of them were sweating profusely, exhausted, and finally stopped.

Ke Yu said: "Ghost hitting the wall, we must have encountered a ghost hitting the wall." The light from the flashlight shone across the wall, illuminating those masks with a ghostly look, "Can you see the problem with these masks..."

Chen Yanyan forced himself to concentrate.

She has no interest in exorcising ghosts at all, and she hasn't learned much since she was a child, she only knows a little bit.Like the weaving cloud technique, she only knows a rough idea.

But even so, she still grew up in Chen's family and has seen many masks.

She looked around and thought about it carefully, what was wrong in her mind just now.

Under the light of the light, each mask casts a thick shadow, they are lifelike, extremely delicate, and there is nothing wrong with them...

and many more!

exquisite!

Chen Yanyan opened his eyes slightly, walked quickly to a mask, and observed carefully by the light.
