It was the gate of the ice house again.
But the world in front of them was different from before. It was like watching a scene through a black-and-white TV with flashing snowflakes. Three people were standing in front of the gate of the ice house. The leader was an old man with white hair and a strong body. On both sides of him were a man holding a camera and a woman in red.
"That's... Teacher Gao Qianxing!"
Crimson cried out when she saw this. At the same time, a voice came from beside her.
"So that's how it is. It all started here."
"Miss Xi."
Crimson turned around and heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Xi standing beside her.
"Is this the past?"
"Yes, but this is the first time I've seen it so clearly and in such a coherent manner. In the past, it was just fragments...."
"Okay, let's continue watching."
As they spoke, the three of them walked to the gate. The woman was obviously a little uneasy.
"Teacher, are we really going in?"
"Yes."
Hearing the woman's question, the old man with white hair nodded.
"Don't worry, we've done a thorough investigation into what happened in this house before. There's absolutely no problem!"
After saying this, the old man walked into the room. The woman and the photographer looked at each other, then followed him in.
On the first day, they did not do anything strange. They just searched around the ice house, looked around, and took pictures.
"Why do these kinds of people like to rush to their deaths?"
Seeing this, Xi couldn't help but complain.
"You clearly knew that there might be danger here, yet you still dared to come here. It's fine if you came here, but you didn't even look for a professional. If you could find an eminent monk or a witch to accompany you, it would be much better than three people who don't know anything and have no spiritual power coming here to die. In my opinion, archaeologists and folklorists are a bunch of idiots. They're also the best portrayal of overestimating themselves. They clearly don't have any ability, but they still want to touch the taboo and cause trouble. Not only do they want to die, but they also want to drag others into it.... They're the classic example of people who can't do anything right. Do they really think that just because they know a little more about this than others, they can come out to exorcise spirits and catch ghosts? "
"Ahahahaha …"
Hearing Katsura's sarcasm, Crimson Hidaka didn't know what to say. Deep down, she agreed with Gao Feng's words. But Gao Feng was her brother's mentor, after all, and it wasn't appropriate for her to badmouth him.
After that, the three of them decided to stay here for the night. Facing such suicidal behavior, Yu expressed no sympathy, and even wanted to laugh.
On the second day, something strange happened.
The purpose of Gao Feng's group coming here was to investigate the mysterious disappearance of Shufang Liangzang's family. Therefore, they also searched the place and found the photos of Shufang Liangzang's daughter and her four missing friends.
"Is that my grandmother?"
Looking at the short-haired girl in the photo, Kurumi had mixed feelings. She never knew that her grandmother had such a connection with this place. It even made Kurumi feel surreal. It was as if someone she knew had suddenly appeared in a TV series and become one of the characters. No matter how she thought about it, it was just the same name ….
At that moment, Kurumi seemed to have discovered something and grabbed Yu's hand.
"Miss Yu, look at the side of the photo. Isn't that the girl we met before?"
While saying that, Kurumi stretched out her hand and pointed to the edge of the photo. Sure enough, behind the edge of the photo stood a girl in a kimono with long black hair. She was none other than the girl who called herself Ikuro Kiki, whom they met when they entered the Icehouse.
"Hmm …. That's not surprising. If she's really a member of the Ikuro family, then she's been a ghost for a long time. It's normal for her to appear in the photo of Shufang Liangzang's family, who only moved here after that."
Although Yu said so, she secretly remembered the name. After all, if she appeared several times in a row, she was likely to be an important person.
But after that, strange things began to happen.
First, the girl took a photo of the photographer. In the photo, the male photographer's neck, hands, and feet were tied with ropes. This shocked the three of them. At that moment, they finally wanted to leave the room. Unfortunately, it was too late. For some reason, the door of the Icehouse seemed to be broken. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't open it. The three of them had to continue searching in the Icehouse.
But on this day, the man who came with Gao Feng disappeared.
Of course, strictly speaking, it wasn't a disappearance. It was more like a ghost going around the wall. Yu and Kurumi could see that the man seemed to have sensed something. He ran around the house like a headless fly, calling Gao Feng's name, but there was no response. In the end, the man was so frightened that he crawled into the closet and looked outside anxiously.
At the same time, a woman appeared.
She was wearing a white kimono with countless arms behind her. She looked like a collection of countless ghosts. The woman walked into the room, smiled creepily, and walked towards the closet where the photographer was hiding. Facing the approaching woman in white, the photographer could only hide in the closet in despair. He watched helplessly as she walked over and opened the door of the closet.
The next moment, countless snow-white arms stretched out from the woman's body, grabbed the photographer tightly, and dragged him out. But it wasn't over yet. Soon, the arms grabbed the man's neck and limbs like ropes, then pulled him in different directions.
"Ugh …!!"
Seeing this, Kurumi covered her eyes, while Yu raised his eyebrows. As a matter of fact, the outcome of the battle had already been decided after seeing this.
As expected, along with the man's final scream, his limbs and head were torn off his body. The woman in white seemed to have obtained a trace of satisfaction after taking the man's life. She laughed and disappeared into the air.
"Wow, this person can even crack cars? Is she a descendant of Xu Fu from the Qin Dynasty? "
Yu's eyelids twitched. To be honest, she had only seen the punishment of being torn apart by five horses in the Qin Dynasty. After all, Shang Yang was recorded in the history books. At that time, Fangzheng had nothing better to do, so he definitely went to review the history books.
She just didn't expect the people on the other side of the ocean to do this too ….
The next day, Gao Feng and the woman found the photographer's body. The woman's mind started to become absent-minded and she gradually became abnormal. She had sensed too many evil spirits and suffered too much mental stimulation, so she couldn't maintain her sense of self at all. Yu and Kurumi could even see that she looked like an Alzheimer's patient. Her eyes were lifeless, and she stumbled around like a zombie, mumbling something inaudible.
People like her usually didn't live long in horror movies. As expected, the woman in white soon appeared again and strangled the woman to death.
This scene was also witnessed by Gao Feng. When he saw the woman in white, he was shocked and muttered a name to himself.
"Kiri …."
"Huh?"
Kurumi was shocked when she heard the name.
"What's going on? Miss Yu? Isn't Kiri the name of the girl from before? Why is this female ghost …. "
"Who knows? Maybe it's the same name, maybe there's some other reason …. Anyway, let's continue watching. "
Yu shook her head and looked at the scene in front of her again.
After the woman died, Gao Feng probably knew it would be difficult for him to leave this place alive, so he desperately searched for clues. But in the end, he was caught by the woman in white and tortured to death.
The next moment, the scene changed again and returned to the door of the ice house. This time, a young man appeared.
"Brother."
Seeing her brother's appearance, Crimson became nervous. Although Gao Qianxing's group's encounter was terrifying, they were strangers who had nothing to do with her, after all. It didn't matter if she watched it as a horror movie. But now, the person who appeared here was her brother, who was connected to her by blood. This made Kurumi more and more uneasy. She was afraid that her brother would be brutally killed by that woman like Gao Feng. But she still gritted her teeth and watched the scene without blinking.
Compared to the stupid Gao Feng and his group, Kurumi's brother was obviously much smarter. At least, he did not come here to die empty-handed. Instead, he brought an old-fashioned camera. At first, Yu wondered why the young man brought a camera with him to take a selfie, but her question was soon answered.
After arriving at the ice house, Hatsune soon encountered an evil spirit. Logically speaking, most people would be scared out of their wits at the sight of an evil spirit. Only people like Gao Feng and his group would have a standard reaction. However, to Shuzurou's surprise, in the face of the invisible and untouchable ghost, Makoto remained calm. He raised the old-fashioned camera in his hand, aimed at the air in front of his eyes for a moment, and then pressed the trigger.
Kacha.
Along with the flash, the figure of an evil spirit appeared in the air. It wailed in pain, then gradually disappeared, turning into spiritual sparks that were absorbed by the camera.
"… Meow meow meow?"
Seeing this scene, even Yu was dumbfounded.
What the hell is this? You can exorcise evil spirits with a camera? Did you make the evil spirit look so ugly that it was so angry that it was sent to the afterlife?
"This, this is my family's ancestral camera."
Perhaps sensing Yu's doubt, Hatsune hurriedly explained, "It can take pictures of things that ordinary people can't see.
"It can take pictures of things ordinary people can't see. My mother used it.... that.... to take a lot of pictures...."
"Hmm …" Yu frowned.
This was the first time she had heard of this. She had to take a good look at the camera later.
In any case, with such a camera in hand, Hiddene Hiddene was indeed a little luckier than the other three. She killed everything that stood in her way and "photographed" all the way, and also found the notes and records left by Gao Feng and the others. By now, Hatsune had confirmed that Gao Feng had been killed. At the same time, the woman in white appeared again.
This time, Hatsune was obviously no match for her, so he could only use the camera to deal with her and wait for an opportunity to escape. But in the end, Hatsune still couldn't escape from the devil's clutches. Just like what Hatsune saw before, when Hatsune came to the corridor on the second floor with the camera and was about to escape from the mansion, countless snow-white arms came from both sides and tried to grab him tightly. At the same time, the woman in white appeared again in the mirror in front of him. She stretched out her hands and hugged Hatsune. Hatsune struggled for a while, then fell weakly into the woman's arms. Then, the woman disappeared into the mirror with him in her arms.
"Big brother!!!"
Along with Hatsune's scream, the picture shattered and everything returned to its original state.
"It seems that the woman has obviously taken your brother to another dimension. It's just as I expected."
Looking at Hatsune, who was pale and hugging the camera tightly, Yu said in a low voice.
"Big brother … should still be alive, right?"
"More or less. I don't know why, but that ghost seemed to have mercy on your brother … Maybe it's good to be handsome."
At this point, he told a joke, which made Crimson Daisy laugh and feel less nervous.
"What do we do now? Miss Yu? "
"Let's find the passage and go in."
Yu made a decision and turned around. Soon, the two of them came to the mirror at the end of the corridor.
"Is this the place?"
"Yes … Take a step back."
"…"
Although Crimson didn't know what Yu wanted to do, she nodded obediently. Then, she stepped back and watched as Yu stared at the mirror in front of her. She raised the greatsword in her hand and stabbed forward!!
BAM!!!
Under the thrust of Bi, the mirror shattered, and Bi grabbed Crimson Fledgling in one hand.
"Follow me!"
Before he finished his sentence, both of them leaped into the mirror.
To Crimson's surprise, the moment she entered the mirror, she felt emptiness under her feet as if she had fallen into an abyss. Crimson nearly screamed, but before she could, Penelope had caught her in his arms and leapt forward. The next moment, when Crimson opened her eyes again, she and Penelope were standing in a room that looked very clean.
"This is …"
"This is the other ice chamber. If I'm not mistaken, your elder brother should have been taken somewhere in this world. Let's continue our search."
As he spoke, Bi snapped his fingers, and the spirit wolf appeared again. This time, it quickly found its direction and dashed out of the room, running along the corridor. Bi and Crimson hurriedly followed behind the Ghost Wolf and advanced forward.
It's really different.
While following Yu, Crimson looked around and found that the ice room in front of her was very different from the one when she first came in. The ice room that she came from was in a dilapidated state. To put it bluntly, it was like an abandoned building that hadn't been repaired for a long time and it wouldn't be surprising if it collapsed.
Although the ice house he was in looked very old, it wasn't broken. In fact, some parts that had collapsed were completely new and intact.
"Found it!!"
At that moment, Yu's voice interrupted Crimson's thoughts. She lifted her head and looked ahead, only to see a woman in white grabbing her big brother tightly and floating him to the other side in the corridor leading to the courtyard.
"Big Brother!!"
Crimson screamed at the top of her lungs. Her big brother also extended his hand to her after hearing his little sister's voice.
"Crimson …"
"Big Brother, we're going to save you now!"
"Leave her here!"
Before Yu finished her sentence, she had already picked up Frostmourne and turned into a gust of wind that rushed toward the woman in white. Faced with the Chi that was charging towards her, the woman in white let out an angry scream.
"He's mine — —!!!"
The moment she screamed, countless white arms suddenly appeared on both sides of the corridor and grabbed at Yu.
"This trick is useless against me!"
Facing these arms, Yu did not hesitate. She swung her sword forward. Soon, a whistling cold wind spun forward, and countless pieces of ice burst out in all directions. The arms that were originally grabbing at Yu were immediately repelled. The woman in white who was hit by the cold wind screamed and retreated. She let go of the arm that was grabbing Newinter.
At the same time, Yu had already arrived in front of the two of them. She raised Frostmourne high and stabbed at the woman in white!
"No!!"
But at that moment, Newinter suddenly spread her arms and blocked in front of Yu. Yu was taken aback, and she hurriedly withdrew Frostmourne. At the same time, the white-clothed female ghost took this opportunity to grab Hatsuma Hatsuma again and disappeared into the shadows.
"… Miss Yu, where's Big Brother? What happened just now? "
At that moment, Crimson ran over with a camera in her arms. She was dumbfounded and did not know what to say when she saw the scene just now.
"…"
Facing Crimson's question, Yu helplessly put down her sword and sighed.
"It seems that there are benefits to being beautiful even for a ghost."
