If this is a girl's prank, her landlord doesn't need to play along with her. But he still can't understand, is there really a ghost in this world?
Just as he was thinking.
"Tap, tap, tap"
A series of footsteps came down from upstairs, sounding a bit strange, as if someone was walking by bouncing. Then, Gu Sheng's door was knocked on.
"Classmate, come with me quickly. I can take you to a safe place!"
"She said she had already left this neighborhood, didn't she?"
Hearing the knocking on the door, Gu Sheng's expression became a little unpleasant.
From the other party's previous level of fear, if she really saw a female ghost enter her room, she would definitely not come back to save herself.
This classmate Song's every move is filled with strangeness.
Adding the landlord to the equation, all signs undoubtedly point to one answer!
Gu Sheng took a deep breath and walked to the door.
Open the phone's camera function, aim at Peephole.
Outside the door.
The girl kept knocking on the door while frequently looking back, her face full of panic.
Gu Sheng noticed a detail.
Her stance is very strange, and she can't see her feet.
Upon closer observation, the thin, pure white pajamas cover her well-proportioned body, looking very enticing. However, what he is most concerned about is the clear signs of training in her posture, indicating a high likelihood that she is a dancer.
The truth seems to have come to light!
Gu Sheng held his breath and couldn't calm down for a long time.
Outdoors.
After knocking on the door a few times and receiving no response, the girl's behavior became increasingly strange.
I no longer anxiously turned back, but bent down and stared at the Peephole intently, as if my eyeballs were about to pop out, and finally gave a sinister smile.
"I know you're watching."
"Classmate, if you don't want to come with me, I will climb down from the balcony to find you, sneak into your bedroom, and I must see you!"
Her voice had also changed, like a cold venomous snake, making one's hair stand on end.
After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked into the dark corridor. Gu Sheng finally saw clearly that the other person's feet were tiptoeing forward!
This is the movement of the toes in ballet.
And she was wearing a pair of very old white dance shoes on her feet.
There were black and red patches on them.
In the hazy picture, the girl's walking posture is quite unique. She takes a few light steps and then hops a little. Because her legs are very stiff, her movements are somewhat distorted, making her look extremely strange.
This is a dance step!
In an instant, Gu Sheng's heart skipped a beat!
Breathing became heavier.
Even Gu Sheng, with many years of experience in the martial arts world, has not found any loophole in this prank.
He seemed to have thought of something.
Then I ran to the balcony, the bedroom, and locked all the windows in the house.
Just finished doing all this.
"Tread, tread, tread."
The clear sound of footsteps rang out once again, causing Gu Sheng to bristle. Unlike the previous times, this time the sound seemed to be coming from inside his own house.
I turned my head and stared at the bathroom.
The sound came from there.
He didn't say a word, just ran off. As he gripped the anti-theft door handle, Gu Sheng seemed to have another thought, stopped, and turned his head to stare in the direction of the bathroom.
"No, if she could really come in directly, she wouldn't need to deceive me to go out time and time again. This doesn't make sense!"
The footsteps of the bathroom were getting closer and closer to the door. Gu Sheng felt a cold sweat forming on his forehead, every second felt like an eternity. He was prepared, ready to open the door and rush out at the first sight of anything terrifying.
However, just as the sound was about to emerge from the bathroom, it abruptly disappeared.
In the pitch-black night, all was silent as if nothing had ever happened. Gu Sheng even doubted whether everything that had just occurred was just an illusion.
"Is it over?"
Thanks to following the old man west Village to East Village to handle funeral affairs, his mental resilience far surpasses that of ordinary people, and he can still maintain a last bit of calm at this moment.
Suddenly thinking of something, Gu Sheng once again took out his phone, opened the camera function, and aimed it at Peephole. What he saw made his pupils shrink suddenly.
In the pitch-black corridor, a faint white figure appears, resembling a woman in a white dress standing there, swaying back and forth as if being blown by the wind.
"She's been waiting for me outside!?"
The chill spread through his body like an electric current, and Gu Sheng was grateful that he hadn't impulsively run out.
He then turned on all the lights in the room and cautiously made his way to the bathroom. The scene before his eyes was eerie - blood-red hand and footprints were scattered across the white tiles, stretching from the bathroom window sill to the door.
It's as if a person walked down along the wall.
"How... did they do that?"
If Gu Sheng had any reason to doubt that this was man-made before, now he was completely unable to convince himself. The voice could be created by technical equipment to produce the effect of it sounding like it was coming from his own home. But these footprints, absolutely impossible!
bathroom The windows are locked and have security bars. Even the most professional technical team would not be able to open them in such a short time, leaving footprints and then leaving.
He didn't dare to go in, standing outside the bathroom, feeling a bit creepy.
"Could she really be a dirty thing, and able to come in, but if so, why go to such lengths? Is she trying to torture me little by little?"
"What should I do?"
Licking her dry lips, Gu Sheng was not completely paralyzed by fear, and she still had the courage to act.
"Turn on the gas and wait for her, are ghosts afraid of fire? Call the police? Run to the temple? Or rush out to find the landlord, dragging this damn thing to die together, knowing there's a problem and still renting the house to me..."
Just as he was making his final mental struggle!
Suddenly.
His heart suddenly stopped beating, and an inexplicable voice sounded abruptly in his mind.
"Detected the host encountering a strange revival!"
"Charm System has been bound!"
Just as Gu Sheng was lost in thought, a deep blue light suddenly appeared in front of him.
It was like a ghostly fire igniting in the pitch-black night, profound and icy.
Hints appear in front of you, line by line.
【You have received a beginner's gift package! Reward: D-level curse - Back-sticking Ghost!】
【Curse Name: Back Sticker Ghost!】
【Cost: Stamina!】
Ability: After using this curse, you will gain some of the power of the clinging ghost:
When attacking someone or a ghost from behind, you can cause additional damage!
"When attacked by the person or ghost in front of you, the damage is halved!"
It was just a moment, and a clear thought flashed through Gu Sheng's mind.
Hiss!
Are you saying I can also harm ghosts?
Gu Sheng In the desperate eyes, there seemed to be a glimmer of light flashing, although fear still lingered in the heart, a hint of confidence also arose.
He thought for a moment, then ran into the kitchen and grabbed a shiny, sharpened kitchen knife.
Later, he rummaged through the boxes and found a tool hammer, quietly hiding it up his sleeve, while the kitchen knife was tucked under his armpit.
It looked a bit crazy - Gu Sheng actually planned to deal with a ghost alone.
He clearly had many other options. He could have possibly run out of the neighborhood to survive, or found a temple or Taoist temple where ghosts wouldn't dare to follow, or even gone to a nightclub or a crowded place where he might be safe. But Gu Sheng still decided to stay here and fight. He didn't want to expose his back to the other party during the escape.
The old man said that when fighting with someone, the worst thing to do is to show fear. Even if the opponent is strong, as long as you have something that can harm them and you haven't revealed your weakness, they won't dare to act rashly.
"Step, step"
In the adjacent bedroom, footsteps suddenly sounded without warning. The room's electrical voltage became unstable, causing two light bulbs to flicker and then extinguish, leaving the remaining ones dimly lit like candles in the wind. The air around seemed to grow cold and eerie.
"Tread, tread, tread..."
The heavy footsteps made it hard to tell whether it was the sound of someone's feet or their head hitting the floor. The flickering lights added to the eerie atmosphere as a terrifying female voice spoke up.
"Hey there, have you seen my dancing shoes?"
"My shoes and my feet are both gone. You live downstairs from me, so it must be you who took them, right?"
"Hehe~ Give me back my shoes and give me back my feet!"
Eerie and hoarse, it sounded like a mixture of crying and laughter. The sound was not loud, but in the quiet of the deep night, it seemed particularly piercing.
"Bang!"
The tightly closed bedroom door seemed to be moved by some force, the lock was directly torn apart, slowly opening, and a pale woman's face first peeked out from the crack in the door, followed by contorted limbs.
There were large black bloodstains on the pure white ballet costume.
The woman walked out in a strange posture, glanced at the living room, found it empty, then suddenly turned to look at the bathroom. With a twisted head, she wore a terrifying smile and took steps towards it.
"Don't hide, I heard your footsteps!"
It walked into the bathroom, and right in front of the door was a mirror. The female ghost searched around in that strange posture, half walking and half hopping, but still couldn't find Gu Sheng. In the end, it stopped in front of the mirror, and the corners of its pale mouth twisted open little by little.
"Little brother, you hide really well."
"But... it seems like I saw you as soon as I came in!"
Pale eyes stared fixedly at the mirror, behind the door of the bathroom, a man was leaning against the wall.
The woman's face was stiff and pale, with a hint of purplish hue. This was definitely not the skin of a living person. There was a deep bloody gash on her neck, with the bones exposed. Her ankles were twisted and sewn together with needle and thread. She seemed to have been partially dismembered, looking exceptionally terrifying.
Gu Sheng stared at this horrifying scene in the mirror, feeling his breath becoming constricted. A tremendous fear engulfed him like a tidal wave, pushing him to the brink of losing his sanity in this extreme emotional state.
The expression on his face was both like crying and like smiling.
"You found your brother and still didn't run away. You are really... too obedient!"
When he spoke, his dental crown was trembling, and his body was shaking uncontrollably. Despite this, his two hands were still raised high.
【Curse: The back ghost has taken effect!】
Gu Sheng Standing behind the female ghost, he felt a tremendous and unparalleled power suddenly emerging in his body. The kitchen knife and hammer also had a faint touch of gray, emitting a chilling sensation that penetrated deep into the soul.
In fact, from the moment the female ghost entered, when she had her back to him, he had already sensed this power. This should be the curse: "Back Sticking".
But now this power has surged several times. Gu Sheng feels that with one stroke, he could probably chop a cow to death.
The raised cleaver falls, chopping towards the back of the female ghost, while the hammer smashes towards the head.
"Mock"
"——Bang!"
Most of the cleaver had not entered the female ghost's body, while the hammer smashed through the back of her head.
The powerful force pushed her forward, and through the reflection in the mirror, Gu Sheng saw the obvious astonishment on the ghost's pale face.
The surrounding coldness dissipated almost entirely.
Then the female ghost let out a painful and miserable scream.
The sound had not traveled far when it was overwhelmed by a violent and urgent sound of chopping and hammering. Gu Sheng rushed forward, wielding a cleaver in one hand and a hammer in the other, striking with all his might.
He also used his foot to pin down the opponent's buttocks, firmly pressing them against the washstand to ensure that the female ghost would not turn around, thus allowing him to continuously enjoy the "back-attached" bonus.
The screams gradually faded until they disappeared, but the sound of metal hitting continued for a long time.
In the bathroom, Gu Sheng's kitchen knife was already rolled, and the ceramic washbasin was smashed to pieces by him. His right hand had a large cut, which was injured by the broken ceramic tiles.
The mirror, full of cracks, reflected his still-fearful face, which was also splattered with blood.
When facing danger, the body secretes a large amount of adrenaline, causing a rapid increase in heart rate and providing excessive energy, allowing the body to unleash far beyond its usual potential. However, this is not without its cost.
After calming down a bit, a strong sense of exhaustion swept over his body, and Gu Sheng had to lean against the wall and slowly sit down.
He was almost in a state of collapse, feeling extremely uncomfortable. He felt like he was almost dying, yet Gu Sheng actually smiled and laughed.
"Turns out even ghosts can wail in misery!"
