The woman's voice lingered in their ears, causing them to panic. The more they tried to distract themselves, the more their brain refused to listen to them. All they wanted to know was whose name the woman was calling.
Bloody handprints started to appear on the surrounding walls. The road that Chen Ge's group was on appeared to have been the site of many tragedies.
"Don't listen! Let's go! "Chen Ge felt like something was chasing them. He held the hammer and stood at the back of the group.
If the souls wanted to escape from the woman's control, this was their only chance.
An invisible rain started to fall from the sky, and the air became moist. A faded scent of blood floated past their noses, and the streets became more complicated.
The woman slowly approached, and her voice changed. It overlapped with a voice in his memory, and it sounded like the person closest to him was calling for him.
"This sounds like my daughter's voice." Master Bai looked behind him. "Is it a ghost pretending to be me?"
Chen Ge pressed on his shoulder. "Don't turn back! Don't answer it! "
He had just told Master Bai when Ol 'Wei, who was leading the way, ran into another problem.
"Look at the house on the left!"
After Ol 'Wei yelled, his hand pressed on his gun. His emotions were fluctuating.
"The house?" Chen Ge turned to look, and his pupils narrowed.
There was a person squatting on the roof of the old house!
The person was thin, and his arms were long like a monkey's.
"What is this?" Chen Ge had not seen a ghost like this before, and it did not look like a ghost.
"I've heard my father talk about this before. It's called Eaves Ghost." Master Bai's face was pale. "This thing will crawl on the roof at night. After the owner falls asleep, it will crawl into the house through the window, steal the owner's clothes, and suck the owner's blood. There are stories about this monster in the countryside, but no one has seen it before. "
Chen Ge moved his gaze away from the monster. As long as it was not a Red Specter, he was not afraid. "Ignore it, we'll charge through it!"
The three of them carried the child and ran past the ghost on the eaves. The ghost on the eaves seemed to be very interested in the living. Its long arms were hooked onto the eaves, and it hung upside down from the eaves as it chased after Chen Ge's group.
This damned thing was very smart. It neither approached nor distanced itself. It maintained a distance, as if it was waiting for an opportunity.
Soon, the second Eaves Ghost appeared. They looked very different from a living person. Their bones protruded outward, their eyes were small, and their mouths were filled with sharp teeth.
"Chen Ge, we can't go on like this!" This was the first time Ol 'Wei had encountered something like this. If God had given him a second chance, he would not have followed Chen Ge to this village.
"You don't have to worry about anything, just run out." Chen Ge did not care about these ghosts. What he was really worried about was the Red Specter, the voice that had been haunting his ears.
Visible danger wasn't called danger. Often, invisible things were the truly deadly things.
After running for a few more meters, when they turned the second corner, the Eaves Ghost that was tailing them finally couldn't hold back anymore.
However, these things had lived here for a long time, and they were very careful. They did not attack the living directly but focused on Chen Ge's backpack.
Several thin hands reached for the backpack. By then, Chen Ge could not take it anymore. He swung the hammer to knock away the hands of the Eaves Ghost and pressed the play button on the recorder.
"Let's end this quickly!"
When Zhang Ya was asleep, Xu Yin was Chen Ge's strongest weapon. Once this Ghost attacked, it would not stop until it was dead. Chen Ge was afraid that Xu Yin would be lured away, so he did not use it. He wanted to keep a trump card for himself.
However, the Eaves Ghost's repeated provocations made Chen Ge want to kill it.
After releasing Xu Yin, Chen Ge grabbed Ol 'Wei and Master Bai's shoulders and had them slow down.
When the two Eaves Ghosts saw Xu Yin, they turned to run. Xu Yin's eyes were red, and he chased after one of the Eaves Ghosts. He tore it into pieces and consumed it.
By then, the other Eaves Ghost was already several meters away. Xu Yin's bloodlust was too strong. He did not give Chen Ge the chance to give the order. He jumped and chased after the other Eaves Ghost.
The tape in the recorder was still running. Chen Ge's group had to leave the village before the ceremony ended. Time was limited, so they could only move forward.
Master Bai and Ol 'Wei followed Chen Ge's order. They covered their ears to avoid the woman's voice in the wind and continued to run.
The distance between them widened. The three did not notice that many human faces appeared on the wall before them.
They had different expressions like they were drawn beforehand. They were not obvious in the dark. When Ol 'Wei and Master Bai passed them, they revealed their fangs and reached out from the wall!
"The child!"
Master Bai used his body to shield the baby. He turned his back to the wall. The arms reached for him, trying to crawl into his body. However, there were too many of them, and it felt like the arms were trying to tear him apart.
"Move!" Due to the urgency of the situation, Chen Ge did not think too much. He swung the hammer and slammed it on the wall.
The wall and the hammer collided, creating a loud sound that echoed far away.
"Our location has been exposed. The villagers of Coffin Village and the hidden members of the Society of Strange Tales might have realized that an outsider has entered the village." Chen Ge's expression was calm, and there was no trace of panic in his eyes. "Since we've been exposed, there's no need to hide anymore."
He aimed at the crying faces and swung the hammer madly. The walls were filled with wails.
"Don't stop! Keep moving!"
As long as there was a picture of a human face on the wall, regardless of whether the monster inside was reaching out or not, Chen Ge would swing his hammer at it.
The violence stunned Ol 'Wei and Master Bai, and Master Bai covered the baby's eyes.
"Are you alright?" Chen Ge turned back to yell at Master Bai.
"I'm fine, I'm fine. That thing looks like a Wall Spirit. It's the people who died next to the wall. Their power is limited, but they look scary." Master Bai waved his hands. He looked at Chen Ge, and he was even more nervous than when he was facing the Wall Spirit.
The three continued to move forward. By then, Xu Yin had returned, and there were two more small blood stains on his body.
There was some static coming from the recorder. This time, Chen Ge did not summon Xu Yin back into the tape. He had decided to help Xu Yin become a Red Specter that night!
"The village is full of ghosts and ghosts. You should be able to dye your shirt red by killing your way out!"
They continued to move forward. The paper money on the dirt road fluttered, and the old house's wooden door was blown open by the wind. A pale flag lay on the road, and a voice floated out from inside the house.
"I died so unjustly, so unjustly …"
The old wooden door was kicked open by Chen Ge. With the hammer in his hands, he charged into the house with Xu Yin!
