Meanwhile, the ghost's other wide sleeve was wrapped around the neck of another person. In just a moment, the veins of that person were exposed, and his eyes were bulging. He looked like he would suffocate to death at any moment!
Di Yong's reaction was also fast. He immediately took out a dagger and cut off the sleeve. Then, he threw the dagger away. The other sleeve that the ghost had wrapped around the other person was also broken.
Although that person's martial arts skills were average, the life and death situation just now had stimulated his ferocity!
His eyes were filled with ruthlessness. With a howl, he picked up the dagger that had fallen to the ground and pretended to stab it in the direction of the ghost.
Seeing this, the ghost did not want to continue pestering him. Its body moved and instantly floated back. Then, its feet tapped on the ground and it floated in the air. It turned around and flew towards the window on the right.
At this moment, a large net flew out from the window and was about to envelop the ghost. Unexpectedly, the ghost seemed to have been prepared for this. It twisted its waist and moved like a ghost, directly sticking to the edge of the net!
This skill was not something an ordinary person could do. Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. They only felt that the empty eyes were becoming more and more terrifying. For a moment, they were actually stunned on the spot.
The ghost's feet tapped on the window and disappeared into the night after a few stands…
"Chase!"
Di Yong shouts, waking everyone up and chasing after them.
After nearly two hours, everyone with torches returned to the ancestral hall. Di Muhuai also brought Di Renjie back.
"When we chased after it, we didn't see any traces of that ghost. Moreover, according to the reports of the other people who were lying in ambush in the various corridors, we didn't see any abnormalities. That ghost seemed to be like this…He disappeared into thin air!"
Di Yong says with a solemn expression.
Di Renjie's expression was calm as if everything was within his expectations. He waved his hand and said," I understand. Thank you for your hard work tonight." Go back and rest!"
After a night of torment, everyone was naturally tired. When they heard this, they walked to their respective residences in twos and threes.
Di Muhuai and Di Yong followed Di Renjie into the ancestral hall.
"Jie, what are you doing?"
Di Muhuai asked curiously when he saw Di Renjie fiddling with a few pieces of paper in the ancestral hall.
"We'll know tomorrow!"
Di Renjie had already dripped a drop of the eye drop. He could see the powder that had been scattered in the ancestral hall not long ago. He saw that there were more footprints in front of the ancestral hall's door. They were left behind by the people who had come in to catch the ghosts.
In front of the large table, there was only a row of footprints. It was undoubtedly the ghost's footsteps when he was patrolling here!
Di Renjie covered the footprints with the paper. In just a short while, he had copied them onto the paper!
However, Di Renjie was still not satisfied. He looked around the ancestral hall as if he was looking for something.
Finally, behind the big table, in a corner near a big pillar in the back hall, another row of messy footprints appeared!
"Humph, you're right!"
Di Renjie's face finally broke into a smile. He copied the newly discovered footprints on the paper and folded them carefully. Then, he walked out with Di Muhuai.
Although they didn't understand what Di Renjie was doing, they didn't think too much about it. It was normal for children to behave strangely!
However, the three of them had not walked far from the ancestral hall when a sound like something heavy had fallen to the ground came from the ancestral hall.
When they turned back to look, a corpse was lying in the middle of the ancestral hall, right in front of all the spirit tablets!
The corpse's limbs were twisted together, presenting an extremely strange posture. Its face was facing the three of them, and the corners of its mouth were curled up into a smile that was not a smile.
Immediately, the three of them felt their scalps go numb!
In this empty ancestral hall, even the candlelight was flickering. The originally solemn ancestral hall was enveloped in an incomparably sinister and terrifying atmosphere.
Di Renjie slowly took a deep breath and walked in.
Although Di Renjie had some clues about the Ghost Shadow Case, he had not expected the corpse to appear. It was too strange.
Di Muhuai and Di Yong also regained their senses and followed behind Di Renjie.
"No, this person is…Zhao Yu! He was clearly here just now!"
When Di Yong saw the face of the corpse clearly, his face instantly turned pale.
"Not good! That ghost might be going to attack the people who came tonight. Quickly gather them!”
Di Muhuai was experienced and quickly reacted. Di Yong naturally did not dare to be negligent when he heard this. He leaped a few times and went to look for the scattered crowd.
"Zhao... Jade?"
Di Renjie mumbled. He had an impression of the corpse's face. He had indeed seen it 15 minutes ago. However, the corpse was now cold and stiff!
Livor mortis appeared all over his body…
This was clearly…He had been dead for some time!
