The layout of the old houses was similar. There were two dead locust trees inside the house, and there was a large water tank under the tree. Further in were the main hall and bedrooms.
The wooden door slammed into the wall. Chen Ge's kick almost broke the door.
"Let me hear your grievances!"
He strode forward, and the dirt in the yard started to loosen. The dead locust tree slowly tilted like something was trying to crawl out from it.
Chen Ge walked to the locust tree. The sand slid away to reveal a dark pit, and a pair of hands was reaching out from it.
"You want to come out? Okay! I'll help you! "Chen Ge looked at the venomous eyes inside the pit and raised the hammer high." Shatter all the bones! That way, you won't get stuck! "
The hammer fell, and a chilling sound echoed inside the old house.
It was worth noting that the locust tree next to it suddenly stopped tilting, and the sand started to flow backward.
Swinging the hammer, Chen Ge and Xu Yin forcefully dragged the ghost out from the root of the locust tree.
After warming up, Chen Ge turned his attention to the other parts of the yard.
"They're hiding under the tree pit, so it shouldn't be them who cried out earlier."
Earlier, the voice had come from the old home, but after Chen Ge walked in, the voice stopped abruptly.
Looking around, Chen Ge noticed a round ball floating inside the water tank. The strange thing was, the ball was slowly sinking like it was trying to drown itself.
"A ball can sink on its own?"
Chen Ge carried the hammer and walked to the water tank. He looked into it, and there was a ghost hiding inside the tank. Its body was pale, and its round head floated on the water like a ball.
"Was it you who cried out earlier? If you're wronged, you have to speak up! "
The hammer shattered the water tank, and water splashed everywhere. Chen Ge had Xu Yin help the ghost while he walked into the main hall.
Paper money floated in the room like it had just been a funeral. A dark coffin sat in the middle of the hall, and there were strange paintings on the walls.
"Where is he? Where did he go? Why aren't you talking? "
Chen Ge stared at the portraits on the wall for a long time. The people here did not worship gods, they only worshipped ghosts. The portraits were all monsters with terrifying faces.
"It looks just like the real thing."
It was clearly a portrait, but it had a certain charm to it, as if there was something living in it.
Chen Ge didn't know if it was an illusion from looking at them for too long or for some other reason, but he saw the eyes of one of the portraits suddenly move.
"It seems to be moving. Is there a ghost hiding in the painting?"
Just as Chen Ge was thinking, Xu Yin, who was half Red Specter, walked into the room. At the same time, several shadows appeared from the paintings on the wall and charged into the bedroom.
Xu Yin immediately chased after him. When he entered the bedroom, the coffin in the middle of the room shook, and the lid of the coffin was pushed open.
A ghostly figure covered in blood stains glanced at Xu Yin with great fear. Then, it lifted the coffin and ran for its life!
"His shirt is stained with blood. Could it be that he has the potential to become a Red Specter?" Chen Ge called Xu Yin and chased after him.
The shadow realized that Chen Ge and Xu Yin were chasing after him, and he ran even faster.
There was the sound of digging, the water tank breaking, and the coffin shaking. Master Bai and Ol 'Wei stopped outside and did not dare to enter.
"Who is Chen Ge talking to inside? Why isn't he coming out yet? " Ol 'Wei was worried. He gathered his courage and walked to the door. Before he got close, a shadow covered in blood jumped out.
"What is that?" Ol 'Wei's heart jumped. Before he could react, he saw Chen Ge's eyes red, and he chased after him while waving the hammer.
"Stop!"
One at the front and one at the back, the soul flags that blocked the street were broken, and the whole street could hear Chen Ge's voice.
"What's going on?"
Ol 'Wei and Master Bai stood at the door with the baby in their arms. Looking at the two parties, they felt strangely harmonious, like this was how it should be.
"Is Xiao Chen chasing after the person in front?"
"Looks like it."
"But aren't the three of us running for our lives tonight? Why would he be chasing after someone else? "
"I'm not sure either. Perhaps it's because he looks scary."
The sound of the hammer hitting the wall came from afar. Master Bai and Ol 'Wei chased after him.
The shadow was fast, and Chen Ge could barely keep up. Xu Yin, however, was slowly closing the distance between him and the monster.
"He can run so fast, so he can't be that weak. If he swallows it, Xu Yin might become a Red Specter! "
Chen Ge's eyes were red. He would only feel safe with a Red Specter by his side in this strange village.
"As long as Xu Yin can become a Red Specter, this Trial Mission will be worth it!"
The shadow did not dare turn back, but its escape route seemed to have been planned beforehand. It headed straight for one of the buildings in the village.
The street became more depressing, and the paper money on the ground lessened. Instead, the word 'Double Happiness' started to appear.
After chasing for about ten meters, at the end of the street, Chen Ge saw a sedan.
The blood red body of the sedan was a huge contrast to the word 'Double Happiness' around it, and it radiated a heavy resentment.
The night wind fluttered the curtain, and the woman's voice appeared again.
The shadow stopped at the door of the house where the sedan was placed and then ran into it.
"It knows how to ask for help? This thing is very smart. "
Chen Ge opened the sedan to take a look, but there was nothing inside. He walked toward the old house that the shadow had entered.
This house was grander than the other houses in the village, but there were more blood stains and signs of struggle on the walls.
"Could this be the village elder's house?" Chen Ge pushed open the door. The inside of the house was covered in white 'Double Happiness'. Obviously, someone had planned to get married here, but an accident had happened.
"When the shadow stopped at the door, I saw it clearly. It appeared to be wearing the groom's outfit. Could it be that it came to find its wife?" Chen Ge waved the hammer and scoffed with condescension. "A man who lives off a woman."
Rushing into the main hall, the woman's voice grew louder, and it affected Chen Ge to a certain extent.
"The one who has been making the sound is the shadow's wife?"
The woman's voice seemed to crawl into his body, curling around his heart like a thread. With every beat of his heart, the familiar tone flowed through his blood to every part of his body. It gave him a sense of closeness, and he could not help but want to respond to it.
"Looks like the shadow's wife is the scariest and most resentful one." Just as Chen Ge was considering whether the woman was a Red Specter or not, the door to the main hall suddenly closed on its own. The candles on the sides of the altar were lit, and they gave off a ghostly red light.
Under the light, a woman wearing a bright red wedding dress poked her head out from the bedroom. She was wearing a pair of embroidered shoes, and she looked rather scary.
"A Red Specter?"
The veins on Chen Ge's arms popped, and he gripped the hammer tightly.
