Chapter 264: Chapter 247: Has it already crawled out?
Yuan Dingzhou’s heart-wrenching cry, at the very mont it began to sound, was fiercely suppressed by an invisible force.
Jiang Yaofei, who had been looking outside the house, was montarily stunned and quickly went to another window to look out.
There was a wall behind, blocking the view, and nothing could be seen.
However, Jiang Yaofei was sure that the scream had co from sowhere not far beyond that wall.
“It sounded like a living person’s cry.”
At this ti, the only living people who could appear in Mo Family Village were his colleagues.
Therefore, it was very likely that one of his colleagues was in danger.
Jiang Yaofei was uneasy and turned around, put on a black garnt, and picked up a Strangeness Interferer.
This device was the sa kind that Zhang Xiaomo had used when Yan Junze was evading the Resentful Granny’s pursuit. It had a strong disrupting effect on strangenesses, but its duration was short, and it could have side effects on fertility.
After preparing, Jiang Yaofei said to another three-star exorcist in the room, “Take good care of the injured people. Do not go out until I return. If there is food outside, I will bring so back.”
“And if… you don’t co back?” The three-star exorcist hesitated briefly before speaking up.
Jiang Yaofei looked back at him, “It seems like we haven’t seen the Lantern Woman near the Plum Blossom Forest, maybe you can try that. Otherwise, it’s just waiting for death.”
A tinge of sadness appeared on the three-star exorcist’s face, but he quickly composed himself and nodded, “I’ll wait for you to return.”
After watching Jiang Yaofei leave, he quickly closed the door and went back to stay with the other injured people in the inner room, shutting the inner room’s door again.
Jiang Yaofei tightened the collar of the black garnt he was wearing. The garnt seed to be made in a special way, with a click near the neck, and two magnetic buckles ca together, gently constricting around Jiang Yaofei’s neck.
From the back, it looked as if he was wearing a half-finished bat shirt.
Following the direction of the scream, Jiang Yaofei, holding a Spirit Detector in one hand and the Strangeness Interferer in the other, quickly circled to the back and headed towards the row of houses.
Soon he saw the house with columns at the entrance and with its door still open, but currently, there was nothing in front of the door of this house.
Although Jiang Yaofei was moving quickly, he was constantly aware of his surroundings, first standing in the corner opposite the columned room to ensure there were no abnormalities, then he proceeded to approach it.
The Spirit Detector indicated there were two ordinary strangenesses on the right side, both normal Wandering Spirits, posing no significant threat.
If they tried to approach Jiang Yaofei, he believed it wouldn’t take him five seconds to deal with these two spirits.
Of course, Jiang Yaofei had no ti to deal with these Wandering Spirits right now.
If any of his colleagues were still alive and walking outside, they must be nearly as capable as himself. They would not have scread upon encountering such spirits, so the appearance of these Wandering Spirits was probably unrelated.
Jiang Yaofei quickly ca to the pillar in front of this room’s entrance. The door appeared to have been open all along, never closed.
Jiang Yaofei peeked inside; the moonlight reached the outdoors but the room was so spacious that the interior layout was not very clear.
He hesitated briefly, looked around himself again for any abnormalities, took a deep breath, and stepped into the house.
After entering the house, he did not foolishly close the door behind him. Instead, he pushed it open even more.
Jiang Yaofei was not certain that the previous cry had co from this place; he quickly turned on his flashlight and shone it inside the room.
Seconds later, Jiang Yaofei stared in disbelief at a coffin that had appeared before him. It seed familiar, sowhat like the coffin that could move on its own.
But the light was poor, and he was unsure for a mont.
The coffin was very dark in color, seemingly red.
Had it not been for this coffin crawling outside the courtyard where Jiang Yaofei was hiding, he and his colleagues might have already escaped this area.
Now that the Red Coffin was here, did it an that their hiding spot was actually safe? The other colleagues with the injured could easily escape this area.
Jiang Yaofei imdiately turned to leave; he needed to inform the others to take this perfect opportunity to get out.
However, as soon as he turned, the door that he had purposely left ajar slamd shut with a bang. The room instantly plunged into darkness, with only the faint light from the flashlight struggling desperately against the encroaching shadows, gasping for air.
Jiang Yaofei imdiately tightened his collar, quickly turned off the flashlight, and pressed his back against the nearest wall.
The sudden closure of the door was definitely not accidental, and the half-size red coffin in the room was, indeed, the one he often saw moving on its own.
It seed that for the ti being, leaving this room was out of the question.
The cry that had sounded a mont ago must have co from here, but whoever had scread was probably already out of luck.
Jiang Yaofei sowhat regretted coming here. If he had known that the Red Coffin was in this house, rather than wandering near his hiding place as before, he would not have co. Instead, he would have led the others away at the very opportunity.
His heart was racing, but he remained much calr than Fang Zun and Yuan Dingzhou.
The reason was the “bat shirt” he was wearing, known as “Magnetic Shielding Clothes.” Once activated, they could create a dynamic ripple effect around the wearer, rendering them invisible and undetectable to the supernatural.
However, there was a weakness to the Magnetic Shielding Clothes: if the magnetic field of the opposing strangeness was too strong, the dynamic ripple effect could break at any mont.
Moreover, high-level Sculpting Spirits and above had inherently strong magnetic fields. In close contact, the Magnetic Shielding Clothes would gradually beco magnetized by the higher-level Sculpting Spirit, eventually revealing the wearer under the spirit’s gaze and losing their intended effect.
Jiang Yaofei pressed himself against the wall near the door, motionless. In addition to the Magnetic Shielding Clothes, he also held a “Strangeness Interferer” in his hand, which could prevent a strangeness from approaching for a short ti, even if it discovered him.
In the darkness, with the moonlight seeping into the room, he could barely make out the location of the doorknob. Reaching out his hand, he moved closer to the door.
Slowly groping for the doorknob, Jiang Yaofei then grasped it and gently pressed downward.
The door did not respond.
However, Jiang Yaofei noticed that the doorknob seed to be broken, with a crack on its surface, as if sothing had slashed it.
But in reality, the door, despite looking damaged, was firmly shut, not budging an inch.
Just then, a rustling sound erged from the darkness within the room, suggesting the movent of soone dragging heavy feet or perhaps crawling on the ground.
“Could it be that coffin crawling over?” Jiang Yaofei speculated, straining his eyes to see, but he could see nothing.
He stopped trying to open the door, withdrew his hand, and gripped the Strangeness Interferer with both hands, trying his best to keep his breathing steady.
The eerie sound was getting closer.
Luckily for Jiang Yaofei, his position was lit by moonlight, and he could roughly see a distance of two to three ters. For the mont, he felt confident that the strangeness would not discover him, thanks to his Magnetic Shielding Clothes.
Soon, a shadow wriggled out from the darkness.
Jiang Yaofei’s eyes widened as he stared unblinkingly at the strangeness slowly erging from the shadows.
As the creature fully appeared under the faint moonlight, Jiang Yaofei’s body trembled slightly, his lips parted, and he nearly let out an involuntary cry.
Before him, a woman dressed in a white cloth gown, with disheveled hair, was kneeling and leaning forward on her hands, slowly crawling along the ground.
As the woman crawled, her shoulders twisted and her posture was bizarre. Her head also swayed from side to side, but her long hair covered her entire face. Especially conspicuous was her white gown under the dim moonlight.
Upon seeing the disheveled-haired woman, Jiang Yaofei couldn’t help but look astounded. It was unusual for him, a three-star Exorcist, who had encountered almost every form of supernatural being, to react so strongly after seeing a strangeness.
The reason for Jiang Yaofei’s terror was simple: he recognized the woman.
More precisely, he had been deeply familiar with the woman’s appearance since his childhood.
“This is… Sadako!!!”
A horrific thought leapt into Jiang Yaofei’s mind the instant he saw the woman. The childhood fear that blood in that mont completely overwheld his spirit.
From the woman’s crawling movents and appearance, Jiang Yaofei was certain: she was undoubtedly Sadako.
Sadako’s hair was still damp, and although it wasn’t dripping excessively, she clearly had just crawled out from the bottom of a well, maintaining that visage the entire ti.
This scene was indelibly etched in Jiang Yaofei’s mory.
The terrifying scenes from “Midnight Ring” he had watched as a child were surging back, flashing before his eyes one after another.
The Sadako before him finally stopped crawling as she neared Jiang Yaofei and slowly stood up, her arms hanging down, her long hair draping down to partially obscure her face, leaving only part of her purple lips and one eye visible.
That one eye was completely black, and as Sadako looked up, a vast expanse of white sclera appeared, filling her entire eye socket and making the sight even more bizarre.
Jiang Yaofei found himself trembling uncontrollably.
The trembling was involuntary, a deep-rooted terror from watching “Midnight Ring” as a child, which now completely consud him.
Thanks to the effect of the Magnetic Shielding Clothes, Sadako did not see him. After standing up, she twisted her body and moved forward step by step.
Approaching Jiang Yaofei, she ca to a stop.
She careened her head from side to side as if unconsciously, her movents chanical and stiff, as she slowly leaned in closer.
anwhile, the hair clinging to Sadako’s face slid away, revealing an even more frightening portion of her visage.
She then opened her mouth, revealing pitch-black teeth, and from the depths of her black maw, a clicking and disturbing sound emanated.
To Jiang Yaofei, this spectacle nearly drove him insane, as goosebumps incessantly rose and receded on his skin, an endless cycle of fear.
He felt his entire body go cold as though he had returned to the mont when he first saw Sadako crawl out of the television as a child. His mind went numb, and he remained rooted to the spot, vulnerable to the rcy of others.
Fortunately, the Magnetic Shielding Clothes were functioning properly, and Sadako, unable to see him, simply sniffed around before twisting her uncanny limbs and slowly making her way to one side.
