Chapter 130 The Strange Village Under the Red Building
The woman dug out her entire family, including her own eyes, just like in her son's painting.
Blood flowed all over the ground.
She tried hard to hold up her six eyeballs, as if she wanted to sacrifice to the moon.
The pair of gouged out eyes can still see.
The moon in the sky seemed to have descended, and was level with the window.
Under a blood moon, several tentacles stretched out, reached into the room, and took away the eyeballs in her hand.
Then suddenly it fell into darkness.
After that, it lit up again.
Through the perspective of the woman's eyes, a horrifying scene appeared.
When the eyeball was taken away by the tentacle and presented to the moon, the perspective moved outside the Red Building.
That night, almost every floor and every household was doing the same thing.
They were bewildered, bewitched by the moon for some unknown reason.
The residents who stayed in the red building all unanimously dug out their own eyes and sacrificed them to the moon.
One hundred and eighteen people, two hundred and thirty-six eyeballs, were all taken away by tentacles that came out from nowhere.
I don't know where the tentacles finally retracted.
In the last view from Eyeball's perspective, the red building is on fire.
There was a woman in black clothes and a black hat, humming a song, starting from the first floor and lighting fires one by one.
While the fire was burning, all the residents whose eyes had been removed remained motionless.
As if he didn't know the pain, he let the flames devour him.
When the woman opened her eyes again, she was already in a coffin.
She had transformed into a bound spirit, climbed out of the coffin with her husband and son, returned to the seventh floor, and continued to live in the red building.
He didn't know that he was already dead.
Liu Hou retracted his hand and opened his eyes. The woman's memory was cut off from here.
Seeing him open his eyes, You Yuwei quickly asked: "Did you deduce anything?"
"I saw the memory of the owner of this coffin."
Liu Hou was about to tell You Yuwei the memory of the woman, when suddenly, an old face appeared next to him.
It turned out to be the head of that old ghost. The old ghost said gloomily: "I think you two are strange. It turns out, it turns out, you are not human."
The bound spirit thought that he was a human being, so of course he regarded the human Liu Hou as non-human.
This logic is quite awkward.
But it makes sense.
"Old man, stop making trouble. I'm just like you."
Liu Hou was afraid that he would start a fight here and wake up all the earthbound spirits in the coffin.
I wanted to coax this old ghost.
Little did he know that the old ghost didn't like this at all: "You look delicious, let's eat it first for you to make a tooth ceremony, and then wait for the festival to pass, and then have a big meal!"
As the old ghost spoke, he threw his head towards Liu Hou. The head in the air opened its mouth wide, trying to bite Liu Hou's face.
Liu Hou kicked the head away, grabbed You Yuwei and ran away.
He was going to find a quiet place to deal with this old ghost.
The old ghost cursed and used his body to pick up his head, then chased Liu Hou over.
After running past the coffin ground, Liu Hou stopped and looked at the old ghost coldly.
The old ghost chuckled and said, "Don't run away? If you don't run away, I'll start eating."
"eat?"
Liu Hou drew out his eight-sided Han wooden sword, and with a flash of cold light, he stabbed out with the sword.
The old ghost screamed and his head was stabbed through.
Liu Hou then swept the lower plate, tripping the old ghost down, pressing the old ghost down with his sword, and shouted to You Yuwei: "Take it."
You Yuwei quickly took out the death manual and turned to the page about the old ghost: "Zhao Anshun, born in Tang Dynasty in 1942, died at the age of eighty. Rest in peace!"
A white light flew from the old ghost's body into the death manual.
You Yuwei put away the manual, glanced left and right, and exclaimed in surprise: "Hey, why is there a village here?"
Liu Hou then looked in the direction she was pointing.
Sure enough, there was a village not far ahead.
"Let's go and have a look."
Liu Hou frowned.
He had just seen a lot of things from the memory of the woman lying in the coffin on the seventh floor.
First of all, the fire in the Red Mansion was not accidental, but set by Sister Hong.
On the last day of the Red Mansion, everyone looked at the moon outside the window and sacrificed their eyes to the moon. This was the first condition to become the weird spirit binding in the Red Mansion.
The second condition is the coffin underground.
Didn’t the bodies of the 118 people who were burned to death in the Red Mansion not be found?
The bodies of those people should be in the coffins.
This is the second condition for becoming the binding spirit of the Red Mansion and being bound by Sister Hong forever.
There was also the red moon outside the Red Mansion. Although it looked like the moon, Liu Hou felt that something was wrong based on the woman's memory.
Then, it shouldn't be the moon.
But something else.
But what exactly it was, Liu Hou had no idea.
But that thing that looks like the moon can bewitch people's hearts.
That's why when Sister Hong recruited Li Xiu as the administrator, she specifically made rules so that he wouldn't look at the moon from the Red Mansion.
Because after Li Xiu looked at the moon, he would gouge out his own eyes and lie dead on the spot, turning into an earth-bound spirit in the red building.
Then Sister Hong wouldn't be able to sacrifice Li Xiuhuo.
From this analysis, the moon-like thing in the Red Building can only be seen when looking out from the Red Building.
But Liu Hou couldn't understand why there were still villages here?
Is this really Under the Red Mansions?
Liu Hou clearly discovered that this was not an illusion, but a physical existence.
As he walked, he told You Yuwei what he had discovered.
The village was not far from them, and when they got closer, they saw a person.
It was an old man, wearing a bamboo hat and a raincoat, hoeing the ground with a hoe under the moonlight.
He doesn't have any ghostly aura about him, nor does he have any lively aura.
Liu Hou and You Yuwei looked at each other. Liu Hou took a few steps forward, raised his hands and asked, "Old man, may I ask what area this is."
The old man seemed not to hear and didn't look back.
Liu Hou took two more steps forward, reached out with one hand and put it on the old man's shoulder: "Old man, we got lost while passing here and want to ask for directions..."
Before he finished speaking, the old man fell down after being slapped by Liu Hou.
Liu Hou was so frightened that he took a few steps back, then burst into laughter.
This old man turned out to be a scarecrow.
Looking again, Liu Hou's eyes widened suddenly, feeling shocked and angry.
The scarecrow is not made of grass, but of human skin.
Living people had their internal organs hollowed out, made into mummies, and placed in the fields as if they were still plowing.
This mummy has been in production for at least two hundred years.
"It takes a lot of vicious people to do something like this!"
You Yuwei covered her mouth and was extremely angry.
Liu Hou patted her but didn't say much: "Let's go in and have a look."
The field path leads to the village.
The village is full of old thatched houses, giving it a scene from hundreds of years ago.
It's as if time has stopped here.
In the thatched house, there were people lying on the bed, cooking, or washing clothes beside the house.
There are also children playing under the big elm tree at the end of the village.
But without exception, they were all mummies that could no longer move.
They were all eviscerated.
Life is frozen in the last moment of death hundreds of years ago!
"Who did this?"
You Yuwei couldn't believe her eyes.
Liu Hou snorted coldly: "Who else could it be? It must be Sister Hong."
At this moment, a colder voice came over: "They deserve it!"
The two of them were startled and turned back immediately.
Liu Hou's heart was beating wildly when he saw a woman wearing black clothes and a black hat.
