Chapter 619: Chapter 619: Annihilation
Apparently, the haunted house that appeared every evening in the community of PoGui Garden was located underground. That explains why all the people swallowed by the haunted house could not be found, neither alive nor dead, no matter where you searched in the community.
At this point, outside the small house, lined up in a row were about ten sedan chairs, each one appearing eerie and blood-red as if freshly painted with real blood. In front of these sedan chairs were a group of men carrying the sedan chairs, joyously playing wind instruments and percussion, and setting off firecrackers, making it a festive atmosphere.
In ancient times, such a level of celebration for welcoming the bride would have been deemed high class, only possible for the rich and noble families.
The largest sedan chair was leading the line, with a matchmaker standing next to it. As a gust of wind lifted the curtains, a lady with a graceful figure was seen sitting quietly inside. With a red bridal veil, she wore a red, embroidered wedding dress. Despite her face not being visible, the figure of Miao Erfang was unmistakable.
“It’s Erfang!” Zhou Mi was both surprised and excited, she grasped Huang Xiaolong’s hand and quickly asked, “Little Long…Erfang…is she…is she alright?”
Zhou Mi wanted to ask if Erfang was human or a ghost, but changed her words as such a question appears inauspicious.
“Haha, I told you already, I had concealed a talisman on her body. right now, these ghosts can’t harm her at all. Don’t worry, although she’s confused by the ghosts, she is still very much alive,” Huang Xiaolong said with a chuckle.
Only after hearing this did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
Just then, a putrid smell wafted over. The people looked towards the source and saw that the trees lining the path leading to the small house were laden with red lanterns. However, droplets were trickling down from within those lanterns.
The droplets were light yellow, resembling pus, and gave off a revolting smell.
“Little Long, what is that?” Xia Ying asked curiously.
“Hmph!” Huang Xiaolong’s eyelid twitched slightly, his demeanor turned formidable.
Immediately, Huang Xiaolong took out a revealing talisman from his canvas bag, and after igniting it, there was a flash of gold light. The red lanterns hanging on the trees turned into curling corpses. Each corpse’s chin was burning, releasing drops of a stinking fluid, like pus.
Each corpse faced was sinister and grotesque, extremely horrific.
“That stinky fluid is corpse oil. These ghosts here are very vicious, using corpses as lanterns,” Huang Xiaolong explained with a chilling smile.
Under the illumination of the revealing talisman, the sedan chairs, the sedan bearers, and the matchmaker outside the small house were also laid bare for what they truly were.
It turns out, what was presupposed as sedan chairs, were actually giant red coffins, and the group that was supposed to be the sedan bearers and the matchmaker, were actually horrendous dark spirits. Their mouths oozed gloomy blood, and their faces bore an idiotic, eerie grin.
Miao Erfang was lying inside one of the open red coffins.
After seeing the truth, everyone around Huang Xiaolong felt a chill run down their spines, as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.
“Alright, we’ll take out these watchdogs first, and then I’ll deal with the few vengeful spirits in the haunted house,” Huang Xiaolong said, pulling out a handful of Evil Expelling Talismans and throwing them out.
Boom~~ Boom~~ Boom~~~
A dense curtain of golden light, like a storm of arrows, exterminated all the gloomy energy in the surroundings. The dark spirits issued blood-curdling screams, and they were all incinerated one by one, their souls crushed, vanishing into oblivion.
After taking out these dark spirits, Huang Xiaolong led the others rushing forward, and pulled Miao Erfang up from inside the large red coffin.
“Erfang!” Zhou Mi shouted out loud.
Huang Xiaolong quickly lifted Miao Erfang’s bridal veil, revealing her face heavily made up like a ghost.
Suddenly, Miao Erfang shrieked out, her eyes filled with resentment. She even opened her mouth and tried to bite Huang Xiaolong.
Huang Xiaolong was quick, he pulled out a talisman and stuck it on her forehead. Instantly, the talisman self-ignited, turning into golden light, and poured into Miao Erfang’s body.
The ghost energy enveloping her disappeared instantly, and her numb, gloomy eyes gradually regained their brightness.
“Uh…” Miao Erfang’s voice also changed, and she looked completely normal, speaking bewilderedly, “I…where am I…?”
“Erfang, you’re finally alright!” Zhou Mi finally relaxed and hugged Miao Erfang tightly, bursting into tears.
Although Miao Erfang had been bewitched by ghosts and acted against her own will during this time, she was indeed still able to remember somethings. She looked at Huang Xiaolong, “I got it! It’s you! It’s you! It is you who saved me!”
Everyone was greatly relieved to see that Miao Erfang was alright. This evening, in the clash between humans and ghosts, at least the ghosts didn’t manage to gain the upper hand.
The bride-to-be who had been targeted by the malicious ghost, Miao Erfang, was she not freed from torment and back to her normal self?
“You guys take care of her.” Huang Xiaolong smiled, “Additionally, wait for me outside. I’ll go in alone.”
“Little Long! I’ll accompany you!” Xia Ying promptly said, “Didn’t they say that there are 5 fierce ghosts in this haunted mansion? I’m worried that you won’t be able to handle it alone, it won’t hurt to have extra help.”
“Ha-ha, there’s no need. Even if there were thousands of fierce ghosts, I could eliminate them with a flick of my finger.” Huang Xiaolong laughed nonchalantly.
This bold statement made Xia Ying, Zhou Mi, and Miao Erfang, all reveal infatuated expressions in their eyes.
Really… what woman in this world does not fancy a hero?
Under these circumstances, Huang Xiaolong began to stride towards the small western-style house.
“Be careful!” Zhou Mi yelled.
Huang Xiaolong did not stop. He came to the front door. The door, which was adorned with bright red celebratory characters, was wide open. Inside, the air was freezing cold and the darkness loomed.
Huang Xiaolong stepped inside.
As soon as his footstep crossed the threshold, ghostly fires began to flicker.
By the dim light of these ghostly fires, Huang Xiaolong took in the room, which resembled the house of a rich person from the old society, as portrayed in old films.
Suddenly, from the phonograph placed in the corner, a classic dance song from the 1920s or 1930s started playing.
Along with that, a strong undeniable scent of blood started to spread throughout every inch of the small western-style house, and Huang Xiaolong’s feet started to feel something wet and sticky.
Upon looking down, it seemed like there was a flood, sticky black blood spread and had already covered Huang Xiaolong’s shoes and was continuing to rise, soon engulfing his calves.
“Ha ha ha~~ Ghost blindness, such a minor trick, dares to act up in front of me?” Huang Xiaolong was both amused and annoyed.
He shifted his gaze, on the opposite wall, a painting had appeared.
This painting only used two tones, black and white, looking very much like a black-and-white photograph.
In the painting, there were five people, all pale-faced and strange-looking, it appeared to be a family portrait.
There was a couple in their fifties sitting in chairs, with two women in their twenties standing behind them. And next to the man of the couple, there was a seventeen, eighteen-year-old boy standing.
This boy, with his silly and foolish face, seemed to be an idiot.
“Oh… This must be the family of five who used to live in this small western-style house, but they have all turned into fierce ghosts. It seems that a horrifying murder case has taken place in this haunted house, which turned them into aggrieved fierce ghosts…” Huang Xiaolong muttered. “Uh… They were wiped out, huh? I wonder who did it?”
Just then!
Boom~~~~~~~!!!!!!
The main door of the western-style house suddenly closed!
At the same time—
“Hee hee~~ Hee hee~~~”
In the painting, the eyes of the five family members began to move in a strange manner, their mouths curling up to emit a chilling, owl-like laugh.
