The zombie slowly turned its head, staring blankly at Jiang Nuo.
Jiang Nuo: "..."
"That's really disrespectful."
The next second, they grabbed the zombie and slammed it against the wall, using the momentum to back away. The four of them stood side by side, observing the zombie's every move.
I was so focused on attacking that I didn't notice that the zombies seemed to be guided in some way, and they wouldn't attack as long as the person didn't move.
It just kept sniffing the air, trying to find something.
Jiang Nuo stuck out two index fingers and plugged her nostrils.
Click.
Jiang Nuo and Si Yan, who were observing the zombies, turned their heads at the same time and saw that Wu Chou had arrived at the gate at some point and removed the horizontal bolt.
Wu Chou gestured to Jiang Nuo, signaling him to drive the zombies over here.
What does that mean? Are you going to let the zombies go?
Jiang Nuo blinked blankly, not understanding Wu Chou's meaning; clearly, there was no tacit understanding between them.
Si Yan didn't understand either, and shrugged at him in confusion.
Wu Chou continued to purse his lips and hold his breath, while rolling up his sleeves and gesturing.
Zombie, come here, go find another one.
"Ah..." Pu Sang was about to say he understood, but then quickly swallowed his words.
She patted Si Yan on the shoulder, using the association's unique code.
Si Yan nodded and whispered in Jiang Nuo's ear.
Jiang Nuo's eyes lit up, and she gave Wu Chou a thumbs-up towards the door frame.
"Huh??? You guys understand now?"
Why are there still things I don't know about in the live stream?! (Frustrated)
Also tell me that I will keep my mouth shut!
The three people quietly surrounded the zombie, who was still attacking the pillar, from three different directions.
Then he grabbed him and threw him forward.
"Huh...?"
The zombie crashed into several more pillars, rolled to the doorway, and was then stabbed forward by Wu Chou, who pressed a peach wood sword against its back.
"Ha!"
The zombie could only jump forward to escape, but the threshold at the front door was too high, and it couldn't jump over it at all.
The four people silently surrounded him, trying to think of a solution.
Wu Chou tried giving it a push.
Splat
The zombie was pushed face-first to the ground and didn't move for a long time.
Pu Sang stopped Wu Chou from pushing him away, pointed to himself, and said, "I'll do it!"
She moved nimbly, circling around to the side of the zombie, moving her head up and down in sync with his hopping movements. Seizing the opportunity, she grabbed the zombie's shoulder and lifted him up.
"Aww!"
Pu Sang was pulled forward and fell onto the zombie.
If I hadn't jumped up quickly, we almost ended up kissing.
The three people behind him all took a deep breath.
What a tragedy...
Almost a love story between a human and a ghost.
Jiang Nuo simply swung the red rope, tied a knot around the zombie's waist, grabbed him, and threw him out.
As a result, the zombie's body went out, its toes still hooked on the threshold, its whole body dangling horizontally in mid-air, unable to move at all.
It was only then that the four realized that it wasn't that the zombies couldn't get out, but rather that they didn't want to.
At this moment, the thick clouds that had been obscuring the moon finally parted a bit, and moonlight poured down, illuminating the courtyard.
"Ha!"
The zombie suddenly shuddered, stiffened its arms to block the moonlight, and hopped back into the coffin with tiny, quick steps, even poking the lid shut with its own hands.
Pu Sang: "... He... want to sleep?"
Jiang Nuo: "That possibility cannot be ruled out."
Wu Chou frowned deeply. "Zombies shouldn't be afraid of moonlight. Something's strange."
Si Yan didn't know what to say, but felt she should say something, "Then let's go to sleep too."
I'm sleepy.
He yawned, carefully took Jiang Nuo's arm, and leaned his head on her shoulder.
"As expected, it really needs a guest lineup. If I had gone through all that, I wouldn't be able to sleep for three days and three nights, let alone that night."
Si Jiaojiao lives up to her name! Who can resist her subtle displays of affection?
Jiang Nuo couldn't resist anyway.
He cursed himself for softening his heart again and again, and put his arm around Si Yan as they walked into the house.
Wu Chou didn't share a bed with them; instead, he stayed by the door of the outer room, still holding his peach wood sword, and slept there.
The moonlight grew brighter, and the thick clouds dispersed.
Pu Sang felt colder and colder as he slept, and suddenly woke up with a jolt.
The moment he opened his eyes, he immediately stood up alertly, looking around at the unfamiliar surroundings, yet he had a vague feeling that he had been here before.
Pu Sang stepped on a few broken branches, suddenly jolted, and looked up alertly at the branches of the large tree.
Although the moonlight was dim and she couldn't see clearly, she was quite certain that this was the grove of trees they had entered the village during the day.
"Wasn't I sleeping in the mortuary...?"
Pu Sang murmured in confusion, and could only follow his memory as he walked into the village.
call--
Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew by.
The wind whipped up fallen leaves and dust from the woods, blinding Pu Sang. She instinctively closed her eyes and raised her hand to shield herself from the wind.
"Pregnant woman, riding in the bridal sedan chair...!"
As the wind swept through, Pu Sang vaguely saw several children jumping and hopping barefoot in the grass not far away, singing eerie songs.
She quickly hid behind a tree and cautiously peeked out to observe.
They were the children from the village during the day!
"A pregnant woman, riding in a bridal sedan chair, marries a lonely ghost; lanterns are lit, the wedding will take place at the hour of the dead!"
"Seven Guiding Souls, now a grave for the dead!"
The child hopped around in a circle, clapping his hands to keep time, chanting, " The Guiding Souls has reached the fourth one, who is the fifth?"
Who is the fifth person?
Suddenly, they fell silent, turned around and stared intently at Pu Sang behind the tree, their heads bowed and their voices sinister as they raised their arms and pointed.
You are the fifth person!
You are the fifth person!
Pu Sang's breathing slowed down, and he subconsciously thought of the four that Shuishui had made by twisting her fingers.
It's a hallucination, it must be a hallucination!
Pu Sang turned and ran, quickly heading towards the village, with the children following closely behind, singing as they chased after her.
" The Guiding Souls arrives at the first person, who then becomes a zombie and is locked in a coffin!"
" The Guiding Souls arrives at the second person, who loses both legs and transforms into a monster!"
" The Guiding Souls arrives at the third person, where centipedes and ants crawl inside!"
" The Guiding Souls arrives at the fourth person; grabbing someone is just to make them a scapegoat!"
Pu Sang could clearly hear the voices not far behind her; no matter how fast she went, it seemed she couldn't shake off the children.
Her legs felt like lead, and she was panting heavily. She realized that the time she had estimated had far exceeded the time it had taken them to cross the woods.
This means that if she doesn't confront the issue, she won't be able to escape at all.
Sure enough, as soon as the Pu Sang stopped, the children following behind stopped chasing and stood quietly in a row, all tilting their heads in a sinister manner.
"What... what do you want to do?"
Pu Sang was panting, and his right hand, hanging by his side, made a hand seal. His fingertips gleamed with a lustrous sheen.
" The Guiding Souls arrives at the fifth person..."
The children spoke up again in unison, their voices both childish and eerie.
"Crashed into the bridal sedan chair, covered in blood!"
They suddenly screamed and pointed with both hands behind Pu Sang.
Pu Sang turned around in horror, only to find the bridal sedan chair that had appeared out of nowhere hurtling towards her, leaving her no way to avoid it.
Inside the red gauze veil of the bridal sedan chair sat a beautiful woman with a protruding belly.
Pu Sang knew it was an illusion, but he suppressed his fear and tension, trying to remember as many details as possible.
But at the moment the bridal sedan chair crashed into him completely, he felt a crushing pain all over his body.
