I hid in a corner and watched the shadow that was elongated by the moonlight slowly crawl over from the corridor. Then, it suddenly stopped.
The owner of the shadow stopped.
I subconsciously lowered my breathing rate to the lowest and leaned deeper into the corner, trying not to expose myself. Even so, I felt that she had discovered me. Was it through the smell of blood on me?
Oh, you guys are here. However, I don't have time to complain to you now. However, it seems that the most basic thing still needs to be explained.
Yesterday, when I woke up, I realized that it had been three days since I met the chief of the Food Village. In other words, I had been unconscious for three days. After that, I found out that the food village had been massacred. Not even a piece of it was left. I was lying not far away from the food village, but I didn't feel or hear anything. After that, I realized that my body didn't hurt anymore. There were no wounds, except for the constant cramps in my left leg. I think it was because I had been hit so many times that I had to limp to Greed Village.
Alright, I admit that I wasn't that obedient. I went to Greed Village only because I figured out what Zitong's goal was. It seemed that the only way to find out about this information was to walk through the entire village. Now, there was still the Greed Village and the Sloth Village, one of which was the best and the other the worst.
That's why I came to Greed Village.
Dragging my crippled leg, I walked for half a day until I reached Greed Village. When I passed by Jealousy Village, I saw that it had indeed been massacred. It was almost the same situation as Food Village. Such a big village, but now only scorched earth was left. After the Envy Village is the Furious Village. When I found the wooden sign with the word " Furious " on it, I couldn't find the Furious Village.
It seems like…the three villages I've been to have disappeared…Slaughtering villages? Who massacred the village? Zitong? The reason? Why did they slaughter the village? Purely because you didn't kill me? Didn't he let me go in Food Village? In addition, I seem to have a certain aura of " death wherever I go "…It's so domineering…Uh, okay, cross this sentence…
He vaguely felt that things were getting complicated again. In fact, things had never been simple, right?
When I arrived at Greed Village, I realized that something was wrong. This place was too prosperous, so much so that even though I was extremely vigilant, I couldn't even sense the aura of a "ghost". It was not normal for a small town to have such a prosperous village in the ravine, not to mention that the time here seemed to have stopped in the Republic of China era.
I felt a chill down my spine when I first saw those pale-faced people in cheongsams or Chinese tunic suits walking on the street. I felt the same way. These people…were all dead people…
Now this place gives me the feeling of…a play, a huge play, a huge play that even includes me. After entering the Greedy Village, I happened to pass by a window and saw my reflection. Only then did I realize that I had aged by at least 30 years, looking like a crude old farmer. Alright, it hit my tears. When I get old, I will look like an old farmer!! I was so shocked that I almost thought I had been unconscious for 30 years instead of three days.
After I managed to figure everything out, I found out that I was a nanny working in a certain master's house through the memories that someone had forced into my mind. To be honest, who was so stupid to hire a nanny who knew nothing? The master's family had only moved here last year. He was a very ordinary rich master. He was gentle and had three wives, but only one son and one daughter.
Today, I also came out to buy vegetables and cook for the old master's family. So when I saw that I was carrying two bags of vegetables, I wasn't too surprised. Who wouldn't be shocked if they were dragged into a drama and turned from a young lady who wasn't even twenty years old into an old woman in her fifties! It's good enough that he didn't curse!!
In short, I was the type of person who had no manners. I cursed all the way to the door of the old master's house. It was a building that I had only seen on television. It was very old and beautiful.
When I walked into the house, I realized that there were people in the hall. It was the master and an unfamiliar old man. My memory tells me that the man is the owner of an antique shop on the corner of the street.
Seeing me barging in without any etiquette, Old Master seemed to be a little unhappy. He shouted with a black face,"Cui Hua." Even though I already knew the name of this identity in my memories, I still couldn't help but roar when I heard someone call me that.
Emerald! Flowers! You! Sister! Ah!
"I'm sorry, Master Ha. I'll go cook now.”I'll make poison to kill you. I rolled my eyes and apologized. I picked up the vegetables and ran towards the kitchen.
"Wait a minute." It was the antique shop owner who spoke. He looked at me playfully, then turned to Old Master and said," Boss Qian, why don't you let her take a look? How much is this mask worth?”
"What does she know?" Old Master mumbled, and I was instantly speechless. Old Master, your whispers are really louder than my usual words…
"Cui Hua, come over and take a look." Even though he looked very reluctant, Old Master still waved me over." Come and take a look. How much is this mask worth?”
I rolled my eyes again. I put down the food and turned around to walk towards the old master. When I got closer, I saw a glass box placed between the old master and the antique shop owner. Through the transparent glass, he could see what was inside the snow-white feathers.
A mask.
It was blood-red and looked very eye-catching. The mask was made of porcelain, and if he was not wrong, it should be a western one. There was a golden hook at the edge of the mask, which looked very beautiful.
However…it was a little evil…I frowned and casually said,"If it were up to me, it would be best not to buy this thing.”
The antique shop owner's expression did not change. He rubbed his hand on the glass box for a while and then knocked on the glass box with his finger. It was rare for an old man to have such good-looking hands. They were very slender and had a sense of vicissitudes of life. "Why did you say it's best if you don't buy it?" The antique shop owner shook his head.
"What? Do you know what this is? This was a mask worn by the Queen of Country X. It had a history of 300 years!”Before the antique shop owner could finish his sentence, the old master was instantly excited. He pointed at the mask and spat." Look at this gilded lace! Look at the texture of this porcelain! What do you know?"
Whose side are you on…I silently moved to the side and wiped my hands on my apron. I said slowly,"Um…I don't understand, I don't know anything, so…Master, can I go cook?”
"Go, go." Old Master waved his hand in disdain. I turned around and picked up the vegetables on the ground before walking towards the kitchen. When I heard Old Master's contemptuous voice behind me, I really wanted to throw the food at his head."See, what does she know?”
I really don't know anything…so I don't know if there's something inside the mask that will come out and kill you. I walked into the kitchen with a dark face.
After dinner was ready, the old master's family ate in the living room. I squatted in the kitchen and looked at the mirror, pinching my face. Holy sh * t…Is this what I look like when I'm old…I can't tell it's me at all…I looked at my old face in the mirror and twitched the corners of my mouth. Hmm, that shouldn't be the case…It should just be the appearance of this character…I could only console myself with this.
There was still some time before the sky turned dark. After settling the problem of dinner, I was bored and walked around the kitchen. I don't know what the purpose of the owner of the greedy village is…Why did he bring me into this drama? 'Isn't it too troublesome to kill me like this…Forget it…Let's wait until he or she appears. To be honest, I feel like I'm just waiting for death. Who's so wicked as to take away all my things? He didn't even return the dagger that he kindly gave Zitong a few days ago…'
It's useless to guess now. Anyway, I can only wait for death.
After dinner, the old master and his family went back to their rooms to sleep. Perhaps this was the advantage of living in the village. Their work and rest schedules were very regular. They went to bed early and woke up early. Believe me, that was good for both humans and ghosts.
I paced a few more steps in the kitchen before leaving. Of course, as a personal nanny, I still have a room in this house, although it's a very small room. Of course, I can't go in there.
When I passed by the living room, I saw the glass box on the closet. The blood-red ceramic mask was quietly placed in the snow-white feather. Very good, Old Master still bought it…I wonder if it's too heavy to wear on my face…
After staring at the mask for a while, I finally retracted my gaze. I felt that when I retracted my gaze, my expression was very dull. Because in that instant, I felt my heart jump violently. Then, it jumped irregularly like a frightened deer. It was as if he was extremely afraid of something.
I glanced at the mask once more and quickly understood the reason. The eyes, the eyes of the mask, were too dark. It was so dark that it made me feel depressed. I felt a strange feeling growing in my heart. It was very manic, like a wild beast.
After a moment of hesitation, I decided not to approach the mask. I raised my head and looked at the clock on the wall. The hands clearly told me that it was only past nine o'clock at night. According to my experience, he or she will only come out in at least three hours. So in these three hours, I have to do my best to find a way to protect myself.
Ah, there's a knife in the kitchen, I remember, but it's useless. If there's no corpse fire talisman on it, ordinary blades usually can't hurt ghosts. I didn't say that the dagger given by the president was not an ordinary blade. On the contrary, most ghosts will go crazy when they see a knife or other sharp blade. It's really a big shock to them. Therefore, under the premise that there was no absolute threat of death, I wasn't stupid enough to provoke a ghost that I definitely couldn't defeat with my ant-like body.
My effort was to find a way to escape. Under the guidance of God or the Jade Emperor, I didn't waste three hours. I finally found two ways to escape. The first path was the main door, which was the most dangerous and also the most impossible path. The second path was the back door that led from the kitchen to the backyard. Although this path was not as dangerous as the first path, the disadvantage was that I might not be able to find a chance to escape into the kitchen.
When I was ready, I heard the big clock in the living room ring twelve times. Perhaps it was my psychological effect, but the sound became louder and louder. The twelfth bell had become the loudest drum sound to me.
There was nothing. To my surprise, nothing happened after the bell rang. This situation made me, who was waiting for death in the living room, even more terrified. People's fear of unknown danger was always much greater than their fear of the known darkness.
After standing there for a while, I finally confirmed that nothing would come out. This surprised me. Just as I was about to turn around and return to my bed, I heard the crisp sound of glass shattering behind me.
This was bad.
That was my first thought.
When I slowly turned my head, the first thing I saw was blood all over the ground. It was constantly, constantly, constantly spreading out from the broken glass box. The originally snow-white feathers in the glass box were now scattered all over the ground and stuck together with the thick blood. The source of the blood was the mask.
When I looked into the eyes of the mask again, I still felt that oppressive feeling in my heart. Moreover, its eyes were not only black, but also red. The two colors mixed together, causing my heart to feel depressed again.
Blood kept flowing out of the eyes of the mask, and it quickly covered my feet. If he was an adult, his blood would have been squeezed dry…I clenched my fists nervously.
Sure enough, after about three to four seconds, the blood stopped seeping out. Before I could feel proud of my correct guess, I heard heavy footsteps behind me.
Heavy footsteps.
It was like a huge hammer, knocking on the ground again and again as it approached me step by step.
I ran to the second floor without thinking. I didn't even have time to look back at what was behind me when my body forcefully dragged me up to the second floor.
Then, the scene at the beginning of the article was repeated.
Very good. What do I know about that thing now? No, there's nothing. I don't even know what it looks like. You coward! I beat my leg in frustration. How could he judge it like this…
As if smelling the blood on my body, I heard the hammer-like footsteps once again. The shadow that had stopped moving was once again stretched infinitely.
I subconsciously grabbed something on the ground. This place is close to the storage room, so I might be able to touch something useful…but when I saw the doll in my hand, I silently threw it on the ground. What was that thing for? Should I use it to kill that ghost? Besides, it wasn't pretty.
The footsteps suddenly stopped, and my heart also stopped. I stiffened my neck and slowly turned my head to look at the shoe that was beyond the wall. It was wrinkled, and its orientation was a little strange.
Then, I stiffened my neck and slowly raised my head, but my vision was unexpectedly blank. No head came out from the corner of the wall…Just as this thought settled in my mind, I saw a face suddenly appear in my vision.
No, to be precise, she didn't have a face at all. She didn't have any of the things that a normal person should have on a ghost face. Even her face was flat.
I was stunned and subconsciously waved my hand in front of her, but I immediately regretted it. This action undoubtedly confirmed my position, bastard! What am I doing!
She started walking again! The body that was pulled out from behind the wall completely dispelled the thought of whether she was a ghost or a human.
Her body had been smashed. Other than her head, her body was like a puddle of garlic, except that there were bones mixed in.
" My face..." When I heard this voice, I was wondering where it came from." Give me my face..."
Seeing that the mashed garlic was about to attack, I immediately turned around and prepared to escape. However, I immediately realized that I was in a blind spot! He had been in a hurry to dodge just now and had not realized this at all! I wanted to slap myself in the face.
Mashed garlic approached me step by step. Her mud-like body with bone fragments moaned under the dim moonlight. I heard her wailing all the time."Give me my face…Where is my face…I can't see…I can't see my face…"
I can't see my face either…I grumbled silently. It's hard to find that I'm not panicking now, even though I'm unarmed, even though the other party's description is ugly.
" You must have stolen my face…You must have…" Minced Garlic wailed mournfully. Her two hands, which looked like a straight line from the side, slowly raised up. Then, I saw her suddenly pounce over, and she pounced fiercely at me with a sour smell.
Ah, hey, you know it's definitely not me when you see my old and ugly face! I immediately roared in my heart and dodged the garlic paste. I ran towards the corridor as soon as I started running. Suddenly, I thought of something. Wait…Could it be…
After hesitating for a moment, I turned around and ran towards the ground floor. I heard Minced Garlic's angry roar behind me. Then, I saw a black thing suddenly jump out from that blind spot and jump down like a wild beast.
You can't play like this…My heart tightened. I slipped and rolled down the stairs. After a while, I finally stopped. When I opened my eyes, I saw a flat surface hanging above my head. The messy hair scratched my face and it was very itchy.
I immediately slapped him, then jumped up and ran to the cupboard.
Mashed garlic seemed to be stunned for a long time. Through the reflection of the cupboard, I saw that her head had actually turned in one direction after I hit her. A layer of meat had rotated on her twisted neck. Then, she reacted and ran towards me again.
As expected…I heaved a sigh of relief when I saw my reflection on the cabinet. I've changed back…I'm a reversed version of Cinderella…She's getting prettier the more she changes, but I'm getting uglier and uglier…
Seeing the mashed garlic pounce at me, I decisively squatted down, picked up something on the ground, and turned around to escape. Then, I heard the muffled sound of a body hitting the wall behind me.
The garlic paste seemed to have thought of this as well. It slowly slid down from the wall and stood where it was, watching me take it away.
If he didn't guess wrong. I flipped the mask in my hand and almost threw it away. Damn it! Mashed garlic's head was inside!
Mashed Garlic looked up at his flat face, and from somewhere, he let out a deranged laugh.""My face…My face is in here…"
The corners of my mouth twitched. I threw the mask away with a wave of my hand. The mask rolled on the ground along with the head of the garlic paste. In the end, it stopped by the wall. Mashed Garlic chuckled and stuck his head into the mask without caring about me.
Before I could turn around and run, I heard a scream in my ear."Not here! It's not here! My face is not here!"
Hearing this voice, I felt a chill run down my spine. No…could it be…someone took it away…Something flashed through my mind, and I instantly gritted my teeth. Zitong…I should have known it was him…That antique shop owner…
Mashed Garlic obviously thought that I had deceived her, and her anger became even more intense. If she had come to find me just to look for her face, her goal this time would have probably been changed to " peel off my face."
The mashed garlic inside the mask roared and then melted like a puddle of water. When it reappeared, it was above my head and splashed down like a fairy scattering flowers.
If I get stained by this thing…I probably won't be able to wash it off…The corners of my mouth instantly twitched as I rolled to the side. Girl, why aren't you here yet! I know you're already here, okay!
President, if you didn't show up, I would have collapsed!
The mashed garlic missed its target, and it was obviously even more furious. It charged up its strength and actually crashed into the ceiling.
Instantly, the roof of the entire house shook, and countless gravel fell down. It had to be said that everyone became stronger after becoming a ghost...
Seeing a head-sized rock fall down, I immediately supported myself on the ground and jumped in another direction like a frog. As soon as I landed, I saw Minced Garlic lying on a rock, staring at me-at least with its head facing me-and then pounced down.
Damn it. I complained in my heart. " If the president gave me something, the garlic paste wouldn't be a big deal. It's like I'm water and she's fire. I can extinguish her directly. But once I lose those things, I'm just an ant."
Zitong, oh Zitong, you're heartless. I cursed under my breath and turned to run in another direction. When I turned around to look at the garlic paste, I realized that she didn't chase after me. She stood there and watched me run away without any reaction.
Oh no! I raised my head and saw a stone in the air about ten centimeters above my head. I dared to believe that my head was not as hard as this stone. I forgot that there were these things on my head!
I subconsciously squatted down. Although I tried my best to pull my body out from under the rock, the rock still hit my left leg and hit the bullseye. I suddenly knelt on the ground.
Then, I heard the sound of something breaking through the air above my head. I subconsciously looked up and saw a piece of gravel that was bigger than my head. No way…I won't die from this, but I'll be unconscious for a long time…I'll be dead from the garlic…
Before I could drag my left leg out of the rubble, I saw the floor-to-ceiling window near the door shatter. The glass shards flew towards the rubble above my head like rain with a strong aura and actually knocked it to the other side.
"Ah ~~~ Tarzan is here ~~!!”As the glass of the French window shattered, I heard a silly voice coming from outside the window. Accompanied by a silly clamor, a pitch-black figure slowly grabbed something that looked like a piece of cloth from the window and swung in.
I instantly heaved a sigh of relief and fell to the ground like a pile of mud.
"Hurry up and thank me! I'll save-ah!" Before I finished speaking, I heard a scream and a crash.
Let me guess…I hit the wall…I rolled my eyes and looked at the wall. I covered my face again when I saw the person slowly sliding down. This idiot…
"Mistake…Mistake." He rubbed his nose and slowly raised his head with a silly smile. His face was a little red from hitting the wall, and there was some dust on it. The red-lipped scholar still had that obscene smile on his face.
" I said…" I stood up from the ground and massaged my crippled left leg. I looked at the person beside me and said," You're injured.”
"Huh? Injured? Where? Why didn't I see it?" The president lowered his head and glanced at himself. After confirming that there were no wounds on his body, he raised his head." Where are you injured?”
"Here." I pointed at the president's head." He's already brainless. Who hit him so hard…but well done.”
I saw the president's expression of blood spurting out.
"I think you're still heartless…just stay here and don't drag me down.”The president rolled his eyes at me, turned around, and walked towards the garlic paste.
" I'm still dragging your front leg…" I looked up at the ceiling that had almost fallen down and replied again. I saw a stone loosen for a moment before it fell from the roof and fell straight towards the president. The president raised his hand without hesitation and pointed his fingertips at the stone. He easily caught the stone and threw it at the garlic paste."You're bold enough to touch our club's people!~”
Mashed Garlic, who was hit by the stone, was stunned for a long time. She looked at the hole in front of her body and roared angrily. Before she could move, the president came to her first. He raised his chin and said with a line he had learned from somewhere,"I'm right in front of you. Come and hit me, hit me, idiot!”
To be honest, I really wanted to throw a stone at him, let alone the already furious garlic.
I dare say that if Minced Garlic had a mouth, she would definitely be gnashing her teeth. However, the president didn't seem to want Minced Garlic to make a move. He quickly stuck a talisman on Minced Garlic's body and snapped his fingers in a suave manner. From the talisman, countless black devouring insects crawled out and slowly landed on Minced Garlic's body. How unfortunate it was to lose his tight skin. The devouring insects easily drilled into Minced Garlic's body and wriggled and bulged up.
Ignoring Minced Garlic's screams, the president turned around and walked towards me. His expression was so serious that I had never seen it before.
"He fouled." Before I could ask the president, he spoke first. His cold voice made me shiver. The president's gaze fell on my left leg and said," He broke the rules…"
"What I mean is…you really think I'm a wager.”I rolled my eyes and punched the president." I almost died many times…Uh…Can you not be so serious…"
Looking at the president's tightly furrowed brows and tightly pursed lips, I immediately looked up at the sky and sighed. After straightening my mind, I casually sat on the ground and looked up at the president."Alright…Let me guess…Zitong needs something. Of course, this thing is very likely to be a woman's body or soul or something like that to save someone. If I'm not wrong, this person should be someone Zitong cares about very much. If Zitong wants to do this, it should be a dead person. In order to prevent her from rotting and leaving, Zitong created the environment of the fifth village, which is a ghost village, and prevented all outsiders from entering."I'm guessing that the bus that entered this place was driven by a ghost. As for you, President, you should know Zitong, and the two of you should have a good relationship.”
At this point, I raised my eyebrows at the president, but when I saw the president's still serious expression, I immediately lost my breath and continued,"Then, in order to help your friend, you thought of a way to help him, but because of your own reasons, cough cough, you couldn't help Zitong. Zitong mentioned me, the lab rat. With your personality, of course, you wouldn't agree. Zitong must have thought of some way to goad you into agreeing to the bet. As for the bet, it should be a situation where neither of you make a move and see if those ghosts can kill me. " Hmm, it should be said that you were not worried because you wanted to train me or something. However, you did not expect Zitong to make a move in advance. Not only did she stab me in the dark, but she also made me a piece of meat on the board for them to slaughter. So since Zitong broke the rules, you definitely wouldn't accept it. That's why you broke the rules too, so you came.”
I almost suffocated to death after I finished speaking in one breath. I panted and continued," Also, regarding Envy Village and Nu Village, I dare to believe that they were massacred by Zitong because they didn't kill me. As for Food Village…because Zitong let me go, the reason should be that he knew you were here too, so he did you a favor or something. So it can't be Zitong's village. It should be you, the extremely angry president who was deceived.”
The president continued to be expressionless for a while. After a while, he slowly reached out his hand and rubbed my head hard."Ah Feng, when did your brain become so agile? Although there were some parts that were wrong…it was already very powerful.”
"My brain has always been more agile than yours!”I raised my head proudly for a while before I remembered something. I reached out and slapped the president's hand away." If you touch my head again, I'll bite you!”
"Come on, come on, bite me, bite me, you idiot…Sss-Ouch, you really bit me!!”Seeing the president bouncing around in the hall a few times, I finally vented my anger. I laughed happily for a while before standing up and limping towards the door.
"Hey, Ah Feng, where are you going?" The president swung his right hand that I had just bitten and said foolishly," Are you courting death by going out?"
"You're courting death." I rolled my eyes and looked at the pitch-black world outside. I said slowly," Go to the empty space and find Zitong.”
I forgot how many times it was on XX, XX.

April 1st, 1977
Miss bought new jewelry again. I heard that she personally bought that beautiful mask for the masquerade party at the end of the month.
I'm so envious. Only Miss can be like this. She bought a lot of jewelry and received a lot of admiration.
In any case, he would go and take a look secretly today.
April 2, 1977
Yes, Miss is not at home. Yesterday, I took out Miss's new mask to take a look. It was so beautiful. It was as white as snow.
Well, I haven't seen snow for a long time. My brother loves to see snow. I wonder if my brother likes this mask too?
He really wanted to go and take a look!
April 3, 1977
In the end, she couldn't help but put on the mask. She looked so beautiful in the mirror!
I really like this mask!
Oh right, is it an illusion? It feels like someone has touched my diary! It would be terrible if Miss found out.
Miss liked to hit people. She remembered that last time, Ah Zhu disappeared because she did not wake Miss up in time. They said that there was a huge machine in Miss 'torture chamber that could smash people like garlic. It was so terrifying.
