unscrupulous spirit catcher

Chapter 161

Maybe it was because it was getting too late.

Entering the city gate, you can't see the shadows of other people, you can only see the lights lit up in the house.

The same dimness swayed on the windows, and occasionally two shadows were reflected.

There were lights and figures, which made Su Mian and He Shen feel at ease.

After running around like this, the two of them were exhausted.

As Su Mian led the horse towards the inn, he thought about Song Yu in his heart: "I wonder what Song Yu is doing now? He didn't torture people to death."

The streets in Dunhuang County are very wide and square, and there are no tall mountains or trees. They are clearly visible at a glance. These streets also bring a sense of security.

This kind of peace of mind reminded him of his previous trip to Tanzhou Mansion.

Tanzhou Prefecture is very mountainous, and everywhere you go there are trails in the mountains. Wherever you look, there are dense trees. No one knows what will suddenly jump out of the mountains.

He Shen relaxed: "I'm finally back, but why is it so quiet?"

The streets seemed too quiet.

Even though it was already night, there were still lights, so there should be some sounds coming out.

Noisy noises from children, couples arguing, night snack sellers, and bearers, why are there no such voices?

I can't care about that much anymore. Even if there is no sound, it's not a big problem.

They were almost at the inn.

The door of the inn was ajar, but not shut. It was dark inside, with only an oil lamp burning on the counter.

He Shen grabbed Su Mian who was about to go in: "I, I smell the scent of spirit."

The scent of spirit is hidden in this inn. It seems that there is no change, but it just makes people feel something is wrong.

Suddenly there was a "rustling" sound behind him, like the wind blowing through fallen leaves.

But where do the leaves come from?

Su Mian turned around suddenly, trying to see what was in the darkness. Song Yu's words about someone watching them from behind kept popping up.

Someone is really watching them and putting them in danger.

These invisible eyes turned into life-threatening hands, slowly closing in on them and clenching.

Soon, they will disappear without a trace in this darkness.

He Shen also became more and more frightened as he thought about it. He almost started to tremble. He looked inside and behind the door.

Anyone who comes out at this time can make him less afraid.

Su Mian felt that it was more unsafe outside. Gu Beiqi and Wang Zhan were still inside the inn. Maybe Song Yu would come back too. It would be better than the two of them fighting alone here.

He opened the door carefully.

The "crunching" sound was particularly harsh in the silent night.

There was no one under the inn, so the two of them stepped in, went up the stairs, and walked along the edge of the stairs.

Just after they went up, a moving black shadow suddenly appeared at the door.

He Shen stretched his neck like a crowing hen, forcibly held back the crow that was about to overflow from his mouth, and pointed to Su Mian vigorously.

A man who seemed fine was about to come in.

Su Mian grabbed He Shen and hid in the corridor at the entrance of the stairs, then looked outside.

The man did not come in, but stood at the door and looked up, as if he wanted to find the two of them.

Su Mian quickly retracted his head.

Just when the two of them didn't know what to do, there were footsteps downstairs.

It was that person who entered the inn, but for some unknown reason, he walked very slowly, as if he was afraid of something.

Su Mian thought: "This person can't be that gambler, he's here to seek revenge now, maybe it's because he exported Song Yu."

When he thought about it, he thought it was impossible.

What appeared late at night and under such strange circumstances could only be a ghost.

The footsteps were still sounding. Although they were walking very slowly, there was a "dong" sound and they were already going up the stairs.

It was just a matter of twenty steps to get to them from the stairs.

He Shen kept trembling and couldn't help but want to release the painted skin on his body. However, if he released the painted skin, he was worried that it would attract other spiritual creatures and eventually lead to him being swallowed.

The current situation was really weird, and he still didn’t know what kind of spiritual creature it was.

But what is certain is that the person who appears now is definitely not a living person.

Su Mian turned around and ran away, covered in cold sweat with nervousness, and kept beating Gu Beiqi's door.

There was no response, it was like there was no one inside.

As the footsteps approached, he became more and more anxious, and couldn't help but mutter: "You can't sleep to death at this time, hurry up! Open the door quickly! Someone is going to die!"

Even the fingers became stiff.

Unable to wait for a response from inside, seeing that the person chasing after him downstairs was only two steps away from completing the steps, Su Mian slammed the door open, then dragged He Shen in, and held it back with his backhand. Door.

He Shen shivered and dragged the table over to hold it up, both of them were sweating.

The footsteps stopped at the entrance of the corridor.

It seems that he can't find anyone and is wandering around.

He Shen swallowed nervously, completely forgetting that he was a ghost hunter with spiritual objects, and took the opportunity to turn around and call the reliable middle-aged man: "Boss, boss..."

The bed was empty.

They were too anxious to notice it just now, but now they realized that there was no Gu Beiqi here. It was just the two of them from beginning to end.

"W-went to the wrong place?"

Su Mian wasn't too sure: "No way, why do I remember it being here? Open the window and take a look. There is a chicken coop under his room."

He Shen opened the window and looked down: "No, no, no, no...yes."

Su Mian heard that something was wrong with his stuttering and quickly ran over to look down.

What he saw outside was no longer the outside of the inn, but someone else's yard.

There was a well in the yard, and a man stood by the well, with a pale face and water all over his body, looking at them with dull eyes.

On his back lay a woman with a swollen body, and the water was dripping from this woman's body.

The woman's hair was wrapped around his face, neck, and hands. The water flowed silently. In less than a moment, the ground was filled with water.

The woman's hands had already been inserted into the man's body, but the man was unaware and did not feel any pain.

He stared at Su Mian and He Shen blankly: "Have you seen my wife?"

As soon as they opened their mouths to speak, the smell of corpses immediately hit their nostrils, making the two of them almost gag.

He Shen quickly closed the window and covered his heart: "Scared, scared me to death."

That's really scary enough.

His wife is clearly on his back.

Su Mian looked at him with hatred: "I'm afraid, forget it, you really shouldn't be afraid!"

If he had known this, he might as well have followed Wang Zhan out. At least Wang Zhan couldn't see clearly and wouldn't be afraid.

Fear is like a contagious plague, and the combined fear of two people can scare them out of their wits.

He Shen felt ashamed: "I, I don't want to - I can't help myself."

He did not abandon Su Mian and run away, which was considered to be completely affectionate and righteous.

Su Mian was helpless and could only listen to the movement in the corridor.
