Chapter 77 Nursery Rhyme
“Red wedding dress, night wind cool, holding a lantern’s shadow, seeking the groom…”
The terrifying nursery rhyme suddenly became extremely clear, but this time, the singing voice was coming from his mouth!
No matter how Liu Haoyu tried, he couldn’t close his mouth.
There was no other way, the top priority now was to find Qin Liu.
Thinking of this, Liu Haoyu gripped a Zhenlei Talisman, preparing to break through by force.
But just as he was about to throw the talisman, countless slender, pale hands stretched out from the darkness.
They tightly gripped Liu Haoyu’s limbs and body.
These hands were so small, but their strength was terrifying. No matter how Liu Haoyu struggled, he couldn’t break free.
“Brother, you’re getting married,”
“Brother, I want candy, I want candy,”
“The bride is so beautiful! She’s waiting for you inside, brother, hurry down.”
“Hurry down… hurry down…”
Childish voices came from all directions. Although he was in the open outdoors, Liu Haoyu’s ears were filled with a strange echo.
Seeing his body being pulled down bit by bit, Liu Haoyu couldn’t care about anything else.
He directly detonated the Zhenlei Talisman in his hand.
“Zhenlei Talisman!”
“Boom!”
The Zhenlei Talisman had special effects against ghosts, and its damage to people was relatively low, but it wasn’t completely harmless.
Liu Haoyu was blown away by the shockwave. After rolling several times, he also managed to distance himself about three meters from those ghost hands.
It was precisely this three-meter distance that allowed Liu Haoyu to continue to pull away.
But the problem was that the black blood on the ground was still spreading. Liu Haoyu didn’t dare to gamble on what would happen if he stood on it, so he could only retreat further and finally hid in a house with a door.
After blocking the door, he threw out the ghost hands that were still tearing at him and took out the Hong Yu, trying to use it to contact Qin Liu.
For Qin Liu to go out, she had to rely on the Hong Yu. Even if she was taken away, Liu Haoyu could find her by relying on this Hong Yu.
However, after he confirmed it several times, his expression became more and more solemn.
There was nothing…
There was nothing in the Hong Yu.
Where exactly did Qin Liu go?
Or rather… was he taken somewhere?
Because of what he had just experienced, Liu Haoyu’s heart was still pounding rapidly. Just as he was trying to calm down and think about the current situation, a pale little hand suddenly stretched out from under the door crack of the house.
The fingernails of this hand were filled with black mud, and it gently tapped the door panel.
“Brother, give me some wedding candy…”
The childish voice came from behind the door, and it sounded like a dozen voices overlapping, making the child’s voice extremely creepy.
Soon, not only from under the door frame, but also from the door crack, hand after hand began to squeeze in.
“Brother, give me some wedding candy…”
The voice became clearer and clearer, as if it had already entered the room, and the things outside were constantly knocking on the door panel.
The ghost hands that had originally reached into the room began to frantically scratch at the door panel, leaving behind bloody marks.
“Divine Fire Talisman!”
A raging fire burned all these ghost hands to ashes.
But even so, the knocking from outside did not stop.
Suddenly, an eye squeezed through the door crack. Its pupils were dilated, showing a grayish-white color.
These were the eyes of the Buddha statue in the shrine!
“Brother… why don’t you give us wedding candy?”
More eyes squeezed in, with different expressions – some curious, some angry, but mostly playful.
Such a terrifying scene had completely exceeded Liu Haoyu’s expectations. His temples were throbbing, and a sharp ringing sound had begun in his ears.
Thoughts… can’t…
Breathing… difficult…
“Calming Talisman!”
Seeing that the other party was gradually gaining the upper hand, Liu Haoyu used his last strength to ignite a Calming Talisman, gasping for air.
The dense grudge around him had completely enveloped him, making him feel like a person trapped in quicksand, unable to move at all.
Due to exhaustion, Liu Haoyu stumbled backward. More black blood seeped in from the door crack, finally gathering on the ground to form a twisted human shape.
The human shape slowly stood up. It was a little girl wearing a floral dress.
Her face was covered with stitches, and the corners of her mouth were pulled into an exaggerated smile by the stitches, revealing sharp black teeth.
“Brother, don’t you like this candy?” the girl said, her terrifying face facing Liu Haoyu, “Then I’ll change it for you.”
As she spoke, she stuffed the eyeball into her mouth and made a tooth-aching chewing sound, as if she were eating real candy, not an eyeball.
After eating it, she took out another “candy” from under her skirt.
This time, the “candy” was a rotten, black finger.
“Want to try? It’s very delicious.”
The girl’s innocent greeting made Liu Haoyu’s brain feel heavier and heavier.
The overlapping nursery rhymes echoed in his ears again: “Red wedding dress, night wind cool, holding a lantern’s shadow, seeking the groom…”
With every line they sang, the little girl took a step forward, leaving behind charred footprints on the ground.
As she got closer and closer, the smell of corpse decay in the air was so strong that even with a gas mask, Liu Haoyu couldn’t block it. He felt his breathing becoming more and more difficult, and his vision gradually blurred.
The aura of death seemed to be gradually enveloping him. Liu Haoyu’s body, heavy as a thousand pounds, could no longer hold on, and he collapsed limply.
Before his last consciousness disappeared, Liu Haoyu clearly saw a young girl in a red wedding dress standing at the entrance of the ancestral hall, looking at him.
The girl had a strange smile on her face, holding a lantern emitting a faint green light, and sang in a very soft and gentle voice.
“Red wedding dress, night wind cool, holding a lantern’s shadow, seeking the groom…”
The nursery rhyme in his ears grew closer and closer, until it turned into a sharp shriek.
