Chapter 54 The Coffin Shop
"I'm sorry, I can't save you." I apologized to the girl.
"No, we can't leave, Qin Feng, please save me, please save me..." The girl burst into tears. The four ghost hands had dragged most of her body into the wall.
"I'm sorry." I shook my head and ran out.
"No! Qin Feng, you can't abandon me, you can't help me!"
"Ah~! I hate you, why don't you save me! You can obviously save me!"
"You watched me die, I hate you, Qin Feng, I will never let you go even if I am a ghost!"
"Qin Feng, I want to kill you! I want..."
The girl's spiteful voice came out, and I hesitated slightly, then quickened my pace and left the alley.
"Qin Feng, were those hands ghosts just now?" Wang Yi asked after leaving the alley.
Looking at the alley behind me that had shrunk into fingertips, I nodded and said, "Maybe it's a ghost."
I don't know if it was a ghost or not, and what would have happened to the girl when she was pulled into the wall, but I knew from the shrill screams coming from the girl that she must have died miserably.
"Qin Feng, no, we're lost!" the deputy squad leader in front suddenly said in shock.
"What? Lost?" I was surprised.
It was already past 5 o'clock, but it was still dark, and the surrounding area was flooded with darkness, making it difficult to tell the difference between east, west, and north.
But there are only a few roads in the village, so it’s impossible to get lost no matter how you walk!
I walked to the front and took a photo with my mobile phone. I couldn't help but be surprised. We did not arrive at the entrance of the village, but to a certain place in the village. I could only judge that it was an alley in the village.
"Are ghosts hitting the wall?" I shrank my eyes and immediately said: "Let's go to the back!"
"Go to the back?" the deputy squad leader asked suspiciously.
"As long as it's a ghost hitting the wall, we'll go back and do the opposite!" I said, pulling Wang Yi back.
The others hesitated for a while and then followed.
After walking for about 10 minutes this time, I saw the village entrance not far ahead.
The students were so happy that they all sped up and walked towards the entrance of the village.
After walking for another 10 minutes, the village entrance was still in sight. Then after walking for another 10 minutes, the village entrance still could not be reached.
I realized something was wrong and said: "The entrance to the village is only one or two kilometers away from us. How come we can't reach it even after 30 minutes of walking..."
"No, we are still fighting against the wall!"
My expression changed drastically and I said, "We can't go any further!"
"What should we do?"
"Qin Feng, you have led the way!"
"Isn't the village entrance right in front? Why can't I walk through it?"
"Does such a thing as a ghost beating a wall really exist?"
The classmates started arguing one after another.
I looked gloomy and said, "Ghosts beating the wall do exist. I've encountered them twice."
"How do you crack the ghost wall?" asked the deputy squad leader.
I said: "There is a certain pattern in the ghost's attack on the wall. As long as we find this pattern, we can crack the ghost's wall."
After saying that, my face turned gloomy. This ghost-attacking wall was obviously more unsolvable than the one I met in the cellar of the manor. I could rely on the energy consumed by going up and down the stairs to make judgments and crack the ghost-attacking wall, but the ghost-attacking wall here was
But you can't rely on this.
Because this is not going up and down stairs, there is no issue of physical exertion.
"Qin Feng, have you discovered the pattern of ghosts breaking through walls?" the deputy squad leader looked at me and said.
"I haven't discovered it yet." I shook my head and said, "There must be this pattern, but we need to find it carefully. I don't know what this pattern is now."
Suddenly, a classmate screamed: "No, it's already past 5 or 6 o'clock, why is it still so dark?"
My heart skipped a beat, I raised my head and looked around, and found that the darkness was boundless, with no light to be seen. This darkness was not the darkness of the sky, but the darkness brought about by a thick, substantial black haze! That’s it!
Like the darkness in the manor at night!
"Brother Feng, have you noticed? It seems like there won't be any light today?" Chen Liang said in horror.
My face turned livid, I gritted my teeth and said, "I understand, it is these hazes that affect our judgment and make us lose our way. Therefore, no matter how we go, we will be trapped in a ghost wall."
"
"Ah, we have to leave, get out of here quickly!"
"I can't stand it anymore! If we go in one direction, we will definitely get out!"
"Yes, let's go in the same direction together, I don't believe we can't get out!"
The students cheered one after another, and four or five people, led by a strong boy, found a direction and walked over.
"Hey, let's follow up!" The deputy squad leader was also confused and didn't know what to do.
I shook my head and followed. At this time, I couldn't even tell the direction, let alone crack the wall.
We walked for another 20 minutes. It was already past 6 o'clock and it was still dark.
I have a more certain idea in my mind: it’s not that it’s not dawn yet, but that darkness and haze have surrounded the entire village! Maybe it’s actually already dawn, but there’s just no sunlight here!
"There is a mansion ahead! Look!"
"Hey, it seems like the old house where we stay at night!"
"Why are you back here again?"
The panicked students got into chaos again. Several beams of light shone everywhere, but they could never penetrate the boundless, deathly dark haze.
"No, look, the decoration of this house is wrong. There was no tree at the door before, but now there is one."
"Yes! Also, this room has a lantern!"
"It's bright inside, is there anyone there?"
The classmates pointed at the old house and talked about it.
"Let's go in and take a look to see if there is really anyone!" the deputy squad leader said slowly: "We can't get out for the time being. It would be great if we could find the villagers."
Under the leadership of the deputy monitor, the students walked into the old house one after another, and I followed them in.
When I entered the old house, I frowned.
This old house feels very cold to me, five or six degrees colder than outside.
As my phone illuminated the surroundings, I discovered that this old house had two or three floors. There were more than a dozen gloomy coffins placed on the first floor, but fortunately these coffins were not covered and were all empty.
The students panicked for a while before calming down.
"Is this a coffin shop?"
"Why are there so many coffins?"
I frowned and suddenly thought: "With the white lantern and the locust tree in front of the door, this must be a coffin shop... During the day we walked around the village and there were three or four houses with locked doors. Maybe this was one of them."
"
After discovering that the coffins were empty, the students all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's look for lights." The deputy monitor said loudly.
"Okay, look for it quickly." The students responded and began to search in the courtyard.
Wang Yi, Chen Liang and Xu Simiao and I also walked towards the room on the left side of the old house.
