Chapter 1550 - 1544: Who’s Playing Ghost? (Part 2)
Chapter 1550: Chapter 1544: Who’s Playing Ghost? (Part 2)
Each person held a flashlight.
So after entering, it didn’t feel extremely dark.
However, everyone still felt rather strange.
This was a stone step passage that led downward.
They carefully observed their surroundings and found nothing unusual about the passage.
No patterns, no sculptures, no mechanisms—none of what they had expected to find.
It seemed they had come to an ordinary place.
A place built by ordinary people.
That’s not right!
Even ordinary people could not have built this.
It’s just not as eerie or lavish-looking, or perhaps the decorator didn’t care about aesthetics.
"What exactly is this place?" everyone wondered.
One thing was certain: this place had not been opened or visited in a very long time.
There was a thick layer of dust on the ground.
And quite a few cobwebs in a state of complete disrepair.
Meanwhile, a dense musty odor permeated the air.
As if it had settled here for hundreds of years.
An ordinary person would probably faint immediately from the smell.
They walked for about five minutes.
In reality, it wasn’t because the passage was too long.
Rather, they were cautious and walked slowly, which resulted in taking so long.
However, they encountered no danger along the way.
Even the coldness seemed to decrease slightly.
This made them even more perplexed.
"What the hell is inside?"
This thought overwhelmingly occupied everyone’s mind.
The more they thought about it, the more intense the feeling grew.
But this anomaly went unnoticed by them.
"There’s a door ahead!" Xu Hong, walking at the front, stopped and said.
The others looked over.
The passage wasn’t as narrow as it was initially.
Only two people could pass through before.
Now, it had gotten much wider.
Even if they stood in a row, they could manage.
Thus, all their flashlights illuminated the door.
This door!
Indeed, it matched the place.
After all, building such a thing requires quite a bit of money.
And excellent construction skills.
So, what’s different about this door?
One could see strange patterns carved all over it.
Moreover, a Yellow Paper Talisman was affixed above.
This???
What’s going on?
Why was the Yellow Paper Talisman completely intact?
Not damaged at all?
While the cobwebs inside were in such a state of disrepair.
Plus, there was such a thick layer of dust on the ground.
This meant no one had visited here for many, many years.
Perhaps even a hundred years or more.
Yet, why did this Yellow Paper Talisman look new?
As they approached, they found not a speck of dust on the talisman.
It looked as fresh as ever.
"Something’s wrong!"
The middle-aged man known as King of Soldiers shook his head and continued, "Look at this!"
"Isn’t half of the talisman’s runes blurred?"
"It’s not originally like that!"
It’s simply impossible for someone to draw a talisman that incomplete.
Truthfully, drawing it this incomplete might be even harder.
No point in sticking it up here anyway.
Xu Hong and Wenhai, along with the middle-aged man known as King of Soldiers, wore expressions of peculiar confusion.
They felt something was off.
But couldn’t articulate what.
Especially upon seeing the Yellow Paper Talisman, that sense of wrongness became more distinct.
At this moment, the three of them stared intently at the talisman.
Hoping the sense of wrongness would soon become clear.
"Why not take it down and see?" suddenly suggested one of the Wang family bodyguards.
Without consulting the others, he walked straight up to the talisman.
He reached out to grab it.
At that moment, Xu Hong, Wenhai, and the middle-aged man known as King of Soldiers reacted as if their hair stood on end and shouted, "Stop!"
However, by the time they shouted and attempted to intervene.
The Yellow Paper Talisman had already been removed.
The bodyguard who removed it suddenly appeared abnormal.
Strangely, he seemed perplexed, muttering, "What happened?"
"Why am I here?"
He looked at the talisman in his hand and the door beside him.
He was caught in a daze.
"Why did I take this talisman off?"
"Did you tell me to take it off?"
"What exactly happened?"
He quickly returned to the group’s side.
Once he joined the others, their faces immediately took on expressions of fear.
It can be said that everyone felt it.
As their inner fear suddenly erupted like a flood.
Or like a volcanic eruption.
They hadn’t felt this way before.
"Why didn’t we feel any fear before?"
"Why did we come down without any suspicion?"
"And you two, why did you follow us down?"
"Weren’t you told to stand behind us, ready to call the boss at any time?"
"Why did you remove this talisman? Are you pretending not to know what just happened?"
"And why is there a talisman here?"
"Also, while the cold has indeed decreased, didn’t you feel the chill grow stronger?"
"......"
Suddenly, everyone connected numerous thoughts.
Why hadn’t they considered these before?
Suddenly their scalps tingled.
Even Xu Hong and Wenhai were affected.
"Call immediately!" Xu Hong shouted.
The two discovered their phones were still in hand and immediately dialed.
But the phone promptly rang without connecting.
They checked and found there was no signal.
What was going on?
Was it too deep?
It should provide signal even ten meters underground!
Why?
Immediately, they shared this situation.
Xu Hong, Wenhai, and the middle-aged man exchanged glances, and Xu Hong decided firmly, without hesitation or other thoughts, to shout, "Retreat!"
Just as everyone was about to turn back.
Suddenly, they heard a prolonged creaking sound from behind.
The door!
It was being opened from inside.
Everyone stopped, looking back.
Even if their scalps tingled.
Even if so many strange things had happened.
Honestly, they still had some confidence.
This was because everyone in the group was strong.
Even if there were ghosts.
So many people with such strong life energies would scare them away.
In fact, ordinary spirits would indeed be scared away.
They might stay far away.
"Come out, whoever’s pretending to be a ghost!" Wenhai shouted coldly.
