Master's words immediately calmed down the tense Granny Tan. With Tan Xi's support, Granny Tan slowly lay down on the bed...
"Master Huo, does it really not matter..." Granny Tan's voice was a little hoarse.
The master sighed,
"Don't worry, I'm sensible, but..."
Master suddenly changed the subject,
"After all, it is your own fault, and it is inevitable to suffer some pain."
Without waiting for the three Tan family members to speak, the master directly ordered:
"Tonight, the old lady will stay alone in this main room, and everyone else will go to their own rooms. It's best not to go out at night if you have nothing to do. Just bring dinner to everyone's room. Don't eat together."
After the arrangements were made, everyone present walked out of the main room and walked to their respective rooms.
I specifically observed that Tan Chen and Master’s room were on the west side of the main house, Tan Chen’s room was closer to the main house, Tan Xi’s and I’s rooms were on the east side of the main house, and Tan Xi’s room was closer to the main house.
In other words, the room for the two of us, Master and I, just protects the room for the three of the Tan family at the very back.
I don’t know if someone did it deliberately or it was a coincidence...
After returning to my room, I lit a kerosene lamp, and the dim light illuminated a corner of the room. I took a general look and found that the room was very simple, with wooden tables, chairs, and beds, just like an inn in the past.
Not long after, a big man who had dug graves knocked on the door and brought food. After dinner, my cell phone suddenly rang. I picked it up and saw that it was a message from Master. It said a simple sentence,
"Remember! No matter what happens tonight, don't use spells!"
I replied "Okay", then took out the wooden box of notes from my pocket, and began to study the complicated talisman drawn by the master with the help of a weak kerosene lamp. Although I didn't bring the talisman paper this time, the notes
There is an identical diagram on it, which was enough for me to study for a while.
Maybe the surroundings were too quiet and too boring. After watching it for a long time, I felt a little sleepy. After putting away the notes, I lay down on the hard bed and fell asleep.
I don’t know how long I slept. In my daze, I vaguely heard the door creaking slowly open. I wanted to open my eyes to see who came in, but no matter how hard I opened them, I couldn’t.
In the end, I could only squint a little...
Through the slits in my eyes, I saw a blurry short figure wandering in. He slowly came to my bedside, and his face slowly moved in front of me. I could clearly feel a chill.
The breath went down my neck and into my belly, but even so, I still couldn't see his face clearly.
This state lasted for more than ten seconds, and then this short figure seemed to be an image in reverse, facing me and slowly floating backwards out of the door...
With a "pop" sound, the door closed by itself, and I fell into a daze again, unable to extricate myself...
"ah!!!"
Just when I was drowsy, a shrill scream suddenly came from the next door, which made my whole body tremble involuntarily, and then I finally woke up.
"Tan Xi!"
After realizing it was her voice, I quickly got up and rushed out of the room. I went to the next door and opened the door without thinking. When I walked into the room, I was shocked!
Tan Xi's room has been shrouded in a faint layer of green...
But I didn't care about it, because there was a man sitting in front of an ancient dressing table next to the bed. This man was wearing a white mourning dress and a mourning scarf on his head. I don't know what he was doing, because he had his back to me.
He was looking at me, and his back was covered by a long mourning gown, like a cloak, so I couldn't tell who he was.
"Tan Xi?"
I tried to call out, but the man didn't respond. I took a few steps forward quietly, staring at the man's back, for fear that he would suddenly react violently...
I didn't stop until I was less than three steps away from him. I tilted my head and stretched my neck to look at the dressing mirror opposite him...
I saw a human face crookedly appearing on the bronze mirror, but it was too distorted to tell whose face it was. The only thing that could be confirmed was the two eyes on the face in the mirror.
Also staring at me.
I couldn't help but take a breath of air, and subconsciously formed a spell in my hand, but suddenly thought of something, and slowly let go of my hand.
"Come on..."
A childish voice suddenly penetrated my ears, and my body trembled. The voice sounded like a little girl, and it came from the face in the mirror!
At the same time, the person sitting in front of the dressing table slowly stood up. I subconsciously looked at the mirror, but was surprised to find that the face was still staring at me. What was shown in the mirror was completely different from the real world.
.
My heart tightened, so I picked up a teacup from the cabinet next to me and smashed it against the bronze mirror!
There was a crisp "pop" sound, and the mirror surface fell into pieces, but it did not fall apart. I looked closely and was horrified to find that the face was still there!
It’s just that she seemed to have been really injured by me...
Drops of blood flowed down her forehead, across the tip of her nose, and to her mouth. The corners of her mouth curved slightly, revealing a smile that was half-hearted, and the blood flowed into her mouth along the curve of the corners of her mouth...
At the same time, she was still looking at me, but there was a bit more resentment in her eyes...
This scene deeply stimulated my nerves, but the person sitting in front of the dressing table seemed to have seen or heard nothing and remained motionless in his chair.
"Tan Xi..."
I called out again, and the man trembled slightly and turned around slowly...
I stared at her blankly. She was indeed Tan Xi, but her face was covered in blood. Shocking blood marks flowed down the tip of her nose and into her mouth. It was almost exactly the same as the face in the mirror!
"how so?!"
When I was surprised, I suddenly noticed that the face in the mirror suddenly widened its eyes with a look of horror, and then disappeared, and Tan Xi suddenly collapsed on the ground.
I suddenly realized something. When I looked back, I found Master supporting Tan Chen and standing at the door of the room...
