Capítulo 28: The Footprint of Betrayal
"My god... what did she do to be killed so cruelly?!"
Liu's lips trembled, as if he couldn't imagine what kind of cruel torture this female ghost had gone through in her lifetime…
Being soaked in a cold water dungeon, her limbs pierced, her bones slowly stripped away…
Just thinking about it made him feel cold all over.
"Let's go back."
Ning seemed to understand something, and told Liu to take him off the high platform.
After getting off, he patted Liu on the shoulder, motioning for him to put him down.
After a while, he felt a little better and was able to walk.
"Are you okay, bro?"
Liu was still worried and asked tentatively.
Ning waved his hand, looking somewhat weak:
"I should be fine, it's just that my whole body hurts, like there are knives cutting my flesh, digging my bones…"
Liu and Bai looked at each other, and immediately understood that the female ghost had just used the method villagers used to kill her… to kill Ning!
If Guang's plaque hadn't happened to fall and attract the female ghost's attention, Ning's fate now would have been…
"Looking at the female ghost's reaction, it seems like… she knows Guang?"
Even Liu, who was a bit thick-headed, could see that the female ghost's eyes contained abnormal sadness when she held Guang's plaque.
Bai looked at Liu in surprise and teased:
"I didn't expect you to be thoughtful in your clumsiness."
Liu snorted.
"I'm just rough but refined!"
Ning said:
"It's not just that she knows him."
"She should be related to Guang… either Guang's wife, or Guang's mother."
"Personally, I lean towards the latter."
Liu gasped:
"In that case… the drought in the village that year actually had some unknown things happening, and these things were not recorded by the villagers!"
"But the female ghost in Fangcun Pond wants us to bring her… who is 'her'?"
Ning and Bai exchanged glances.
The latter nodded, then shook her head slightly.
"It's getting late, let's go back… it's going to be dark soon, this village is very evil, it's very dangerous at night!"
The two agreed with Bai's proposal.
In fact, it wasn't very late yet, but it would take them at least an hour to go back to the hotel from this place.
With a lot of doubts, the three of them started their return journey.
Fortunately, they were quite smooth along the way, they didn't encounter anything weird in the woods again.
It was almost dinner time when they returned to the hotel.
Ning and Liu returned to their room, tidied up briefly, and then knocked on the door to call Bai to eat together, but Bai stood in the room with a solemn expression and didn't immediately go to the cafeteria with them.
"What's wrong, Sister Bai?"
Seeing Bai's wrong expression, Ning felt a pang in his heart and asked.
Bai sneered:
"After we left this afternoon, someone entered my room."
She took out the black flashlight, pointed it at the ground.
On the originally empty ground, there were actually footprints, one after another.
The footprints were chaotic, but they could still be seen as coming from two different people!
The two's eyes changed.
"This…"
Bai's beautiful eyes flickered, and she said:
"This morning, Ning woke up and there was a charred ghost looking for something in his room last night. I was wary then, this hotel definitely has problems, but it can't be ruled out… that it's a human factor."
"So, after we finished lunch, I went back to my room and sprinkled a special powder on the ground, and yours too…"
She said, shining the flashlight, following the footprints along the corridor, and finally found that… their three rooms had all been secretly entered!
And judging by the footprints, the same person had entered all three rooms!
"Size 35 shoes, most likely a woman."
Bai said, glancing at Ning:
"It seems like this is the reason why a certain unlucky person was targeted by that charred ghost on the first night."
Ning didn't say anything, he was still pondering, Liu, who was beside him, couldn't hold back, he clenched his fists tightly, and his anger flared up:
"Damn it!"
"Which bastard, with no reason to do so, is messing with us, if I catch him, I will…!"
Looking at Liu who had lost his temper, Bai said lightly:
"What are you going to do? Kill her?"
"I…"
Liu was suddenly choked by Bai's words.
"I have to warn you, behind the blood gate, never kill anyone personally."
"Why?"
"Because behind the blood gate, a person who dies will definitely turn into a ghost!"
Hearing this, Liu's breathing stopped.
Bai continued in a serious tone:
"People who commit suicide or are killed by ghosts will turn into ghosts, they are absolutely neutral entities and have no effect on the dungeon, but people who are killed by other people and turn into ghosts… that's different!"
"They usually have intense resentment, they will immediately go for revenge, and even… they may implicate other people behind the blood gate!"
Looking at Bai's serious expression, Liu couldn't help but swallow, and the little evil thought that had arisen from his anger disappeared.
But soon, he couldn't hold it in anymore and said:
"Then, then we can't just sit around and wait for death!"
"Someone messes with us and we don't say anything, what's the matter with you!"
Bai rolled her eyes and sighed:
"You, you… really are a hothead!"
Liu also seemed to realize that his rage was foolish, he scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Yes… I was too hasty… sorry."
At this time, Ning, who had been silent, spoke up:
"It seems that the thing I've been worried about has come true."
Both of them turned to look at Ning, Liu raised his thick eyebrows.
"Bro, what are you worried about?"
Ning didn't answer Liu immediately, but pointed to the footprints on the ground and said to Bai:
"Although it's already almost certain, I still want to confirm, Sister Bai, go and see if this footprint… belongs to Tang."
Bai nodded, turned and left.
After a while, she returned and said coldly to the two of them.
"It's her!"
