husband from hell

Chapter 267 Fake and Shoddy
I quickly suppressed my violent heartbeat to keep myself from panic. Obviously, one of the two Cheng Kes was the "guest" who alarmed the dementing bell at the door.

The sound of knocking on the door became more intense, and Cheng Ke's voice was a bit commanding, and he said sharply: "The door has been tampered with, and it cannot be opened from the outside. You can use the Scarlet Blood Curse to open it from the inside!"

And another voice said in a very familiar cold tone: "Of course only I can open the technique I set up by myself. Lu Qiao, you just stay here for me safely, and just wait for me."

"Cheng Ke?" I hurriedly raised my voice and asked, "What's going on?"

"Stay inside!"

"Hurry up and open the door!"

Another indistinguishable duet.

How do you ask this?
Then, a very noisy sound came from outside, as if two people were fighting, and there was a heavy sound from the already very strong door, as if it was hit hard by someone.

It's a pity...the interior door has no peepholes.

I settled down and thought about it carefully. The spell on the door was indeed put on by Cheng Ke with my own eyes. Of course, it could only be opened by Cheng Ke himself, and... Cheng Ke never allowed me to use the Scarlet Blood Curse, and never once watched me Bled.

While telling myself not to panic, I decided to wait and see what happened without opening the door.

Cheng Ke's voice outside was more anxious than ever: "Lu Qiao, hurry up, it will be too late!"

And another voice said: "Lu Qiao, calm down, don't be deceived!"

"Kach... Kacha..." There was the sound of wood breaking outside, "crash" and the sound of glass breaking!

It is supposed to be so noisy, it is impossible for Mr. Deng, grandpa, and Luo Weilan not to be able to hear it, so why is there no voice other than Cheng Ke?This is so unusual... Unless, something happened to the others now!
The sounds of shouting and fighting were endless, which made people feel flustered, and the most frightening thing was those two voices, all of which were Cheng Ke's own.

The one who was urged couldn't sit still, but in the current situation, no matter what you think, why shouldn't you open the door!
I stood up and looked around the room, but saw an antique-like thing hanging on the wall. It was a long strip, like a carved wood ornament.

But it looked like a bat, so I jumped over and took that thing as a bat in my hand, hid behind the door, and prepared to hit the other party if something happened.

"Open the door!"

"Don't open!"

The two voices intertwined, disturbing my heart like a tornado, and I couldn't calm down no matter what.

After the sound lasted for a while, a "pong" sound was suddenly heard, as if a whole mirror was shattered, and then, everything became completely silent again.

Just now it was noisy and made people flustered, but now it is quiet and makes people flustered!
I was holding the "bat" in the palm of my hand, and I was sweating a little unconsciously, and the tentacles were slippery. It was so quiet that people seemed to be able to hear the heartbeat.

"Crackling..." At this moment, a sound sounded, like the sound of a doorknob turning, but the doorknob was right in front of my eyes, and it didn't move at all!
"Hey..." Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of the window being pushed open!
I understood now, and turned my head immediately, only to see a slender figure against the light on the window sill covered with white snow, with his long legs raised, he was coming in with a very chic posture!

A gust of wind outside sent fine snowflakes and that person into the house, making it cold for a while.

"Cheng Ke..."

"What are you doing with that?"

He walked over, and it was still the plaster face that hadn't changed for thousands of years, it was basically the same as usual, he checked me up and down, and asked in a clear and deep voice: "Are you okay?"

"I am fine."

The "bat" in his hand still didn't let go.

This Cheng Ke... which one is it?
He finally breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his slender arms, wrapped me in his arms, and pressed his head against his solid chest. Like every time, he smelled the very familiar scent of sandalwood.

It's really Cheng Ke.

But before I could breathe a sigh of relief, at this moment, the door was knocked violently again, and it was Cheng Ke's anxious voice: "Lu Qiao, open the door!"

Cheng Ke beside him was staring at the door with a concentrated and alert expression. His whole body was like a bow with a taut arrow, heroic and ready to go. He was probably waiting for something to happen behind the door. Looking at him like this, Of course I didn't dare to bother.

Then, the door swayed slightly, obviously being knocked down desperately, but even so, the door was still strong and there was no intention of being knocked open at all.

"Hidden souls linger..." He frowned, and held my hand with a slender and well-defined hand: "Let's go."

"Eh?" I hurriedly dragged his wrist, and asked all the questions I had been holding back for a long time: "Where are you going? What happened just now? Why is there a voice that is exactly like yours? What does that person want to do?" ?”

"If you want to kill you, take Changsheng." Cheng Ke clenched his hands tighter: "Before Changsheng is taken out by others."

I felt a chill down my back.

He noticed it, and his voice softened a bit: "That's why, I used ecstasy to deceive you by turning into me, because I was the only one you were not on guard against."

"Ecstasy..." My heart pounded, so is this Cheng Ke in front of me sure to be the real Cheng Ke?

The smell of sandalwood, the tone of the voice, and the gesture of the eyes are indeed the same as Cheng Ke's, and there is no flaw at all!

"Are you afraid? Then let me ask you, did you hear a ringing bell?" Cheng Ke raised a handsome brow: "It's very similar to the hook?"

I nodded hurriedly: "Yes."

"That's a kind of ecstasy. If you hear the bell, if you are not vigilant, you will be easily captivated. You will see what the other party wants you to see, and hear what the other party wants you to hear." Cheng Ke said: "This fake me is created in this way."

"Lu Qiao, no matter what he says, don't believe it, I'm here, you open the door!"

The sound at the door persisted, like drums, beating desperately.

That Cheng Ke outside still wants to break in...

"Fortunately, you were smart and didn't open the door," Cheng Ke continued, frowning, "otherwise...it would be unimaginable."

The trick on the door was indeed done by Cheng Ke himself, there is no reason why he couldn't get in.

"The one outside was blocked by the barrier I set up on the door." Cheng Ke's big peach eyes reflected me: "But the time may not be too long. If the barrier is broken, it will still rush in." Yes, so you have to come with me."

I see……

"Lu Qiao! Open the door!"

I pursed my lips, and continued to ask amidst the loud knocks and shouts on the door: "Then... what about grandpa and Gong Beibei? And Luo Weilan and earrings, congratulations? They are obviously in the living room, Why was there such a big movement just now, as if you didn't hear it at all?"

Cheng Ke turned his face sideways, the beautiful lines reflected the snow, it was very beautiful, and he said indifferently: "Do you still remember that there is someone with a different heart in this group of people?"

How can I forget this, how many times have I been tricked...

It's like the last time I went back to Tanshen Town and encountered a ghost hitting the wall, the car couldn't get out no matter what!
Having said this, I immediately understood: "Could it be... Luo Weilan?"

Gong Beibei made it very clear to me today, Luo Weilan obviously has something in mind!

"I'm not sure yet," Cheng Ke said, "I didn't find out until I was lured out by the bell, because, before we came, a game was set up in this room, and this game was just for you. Others have nothing to do with the bureau, so other irrelevant people were all separated by the bureau, and they didn't find out what happened here."

"So they're all right?" I was relieved for the time being, Luo Weilan couldn't guess what he was thinking and didn't want to guess, just don't let Gong Beibei congratulate them for being implicated by me.

"The matter has nothing to do with them, and we can't find them if we look for it. Therefore, no matter what this visitor thinks, since it is a game, we have to find a way to get out of this game first, and then find a way to solve this game, because there is no way to solve it. I know how dangerous it is." Cheng Ke said seriously: "You leave here with me first."

I hesitated for a moment: "Then just now...you got into a fight with the doorman? Is that person difficult to deal with? Who sent him?"

Cheng Ke still prefers to "knock to death" when things happen, and it is rare to see him "hiding".

"It's okay," Cheng Ke clenched my hand, as if he was in a hurry, he didn't explain further, he just frowned handsomely, stepped forward with his long legs, and couldn't help but pull me out with his strength. I can't help it at all: "There is me."

As I said that, I lowered myself down and carried me on my back as usual, and then checked whether my shoes were on properly and whether my clothes were warm enough, and then I stepped onto the window sill very easily.

Although I did the window jumping thing when I was skipping class, the windows of this villa are not too low, and it is a bit dizzy against the backdrop of the bright snow.

Cheng Ke said in a low voice: "Hold tight."

In order not to fall to his death, I had to wrap my arms around his neck.

"Wow..." He opened the window, and amidst the panic-stricken shouts, he jumped down.

The cold wind and snowflakes whizzed by my ears, making people almost unable to open their eyes. Even if Cheng Ke was carrying me behind his back, his movements were chic and neat, just like the masters in costume dramas.

"Sha..." I heard his feet sinking into the snow, and they landed firmly on the ground.

Cheng Ke itself should be weightless, and Xue's lower limit is also because he carried me behind his back.

Like a snail with a shell on its back.

Therefore, wherever you go, you are considered to have a home.

I shook my head, what time was it, and I was still thinking about things leisurely.

The snow was already very thick. Cheng Ke took a step forward and landed on the ground. When he turned his head, he saw two deep black holes.

I quickly thought about jumping off his back: "It's not easy to walk with me on your back, it's faster to walk together with two people."

But he clasped me tightly with his arms, but he didn't loosen: "It's cold, don't allow it."

"……it is good."

Walking from the inside and outside of the snow-covered courtyard, Cheng Ke's footprints walked all the way to the door. I saw that the bell he was wearing before was still hanging on the door, but because he was carrying me behind his back, he couldn't free his hand, so I He didn't even care about it without hesitation.

On the street, it was cold and windy, and people's faces were aching.

I couldn't help trembling.

"Cold?" He turned his head to look at me, and said in a low voice, "Be patient."

I hurriedly said, "I'm not cold, but where are we going now?"

"Find a place that can cover up your aura, so that the other party will not follow you."

"cover……"

Because it was snowing heavily outside and it was night, no one could be seen outside.

The street lights were shining brightly, reflecting on the snow, which hurt people's eyes a little.

I rubbed my eyes and heard the rustling sound from Cheng Ke's feet.

Needless to say, it actually sounds surprisingly good.

"Then..." Looking at the deep footprints in the snow, I asked, "We left without taking Mr. Deng with us, what about the renewal of our lives?"

"Anyway, there may not be moonlight in these two days," Cheng Ke said: "It doesn't matter if you wait for a few days. Mr. Deng and the others probably won't leave, and grandpa will protect him. Let's avoid today's matter first."

Is it because you are extra cautious that you have to hide?Yes... At this time, we should be cautious.

At this time, at a crossroad, suddenly many people appeared indistinctly.

Those individuals were covered in dust, even though it was brightly lit, they couldn't see clearly what material and style of clothes they were wearing, like human figures in ink paintings.

This is not strange, the strange thing is that they all lined up in a straight line, as if they had to wait overnight to buy some limited release items.

And they all put their hands together, as if they were holding something.

It's a cold day and it's still snowing, so it's hard enough... But when Cheng Ke approached with my back behind my back, I felt something was wrong. How could there be so many people, but still be so quiet?And... they didn't even make any small movements, they just walked forward slowly, there was no whispering or slack shoulders at all.

Not even those with numb feet that should have been frozen.

It can be seen that those individuals are expressionless and flat, just as if they are doing something that must be done, not for their own consciousness.

Strange... When I got closer, I could see the doorway, those people, under the bright street lights, there were no shadows at all!

But at this moment, it was obvious that they were queuing up in front of a bright spot far away.

"this is……"

"Today is the Winter Clothes Festival." Cheng Ke replied in a low voice.

Ah, I remembered, every year on the first day of October in the lunar calendar is the Cold Clothes Festival, which is a festival for giving winter clothes and money to deceased relatives according to the custom.

Burn paper with yellow paper at the crossroads.

I remember listening to my grandma when I was a child. When burning paper, in addition to the one for relatives, you need to burn more, lest there will be other ghosts who have no one to support. It is considered a meritorious deed to send some to their relatives.

It is not uncommon to hear that because the burning is not enough, the relatives in the underground are upset, and Tuomeng blames it.

"So it's the Winter Clothes Festival..."

And Cheng Ke was walking along the long line, getting closer and closer to the place where the fire was lit. I hurriedly asked, "What are we going to do here?"

"There is a strong ghost here, and the other party will not be able to find you." Cheng Ke walked step by step to the place with light: "Just hide for a while."

"it is good."

Once the silhouettes of those queuing up were approached by us, they were still indistinct, very strange, as if my eyes couldn't focus.

such a strange feeling...

At this time, you can already see what these people are waiting in line for. The bright light is a brazier.

There was a solemnly dressed man in a rare cloak standing seriously beside the brazier, reaching out to take something out of the brazier and handing it to the people in line.

The fire was the same as the one Cheng Ke usually ignited, it was bluish-white with a cold light--the will-o'-the-wisp.

And what that person took out was a complete cotton coat, and handfuls of money, and he called out the name of the queue, "Zhang Sanling... Li Siling... Gu Wuling..."

The voice was devoid of emotion, as flat and cold as a funeral speech.

After giving these things to people in line, this really feels like a handout.But you can guess it, this must be the place where the yin spirits are using this kind of ritual to accept the things burned in the yang world.

Unexpectedly, there is such an order, and the "scramble" as in the legend is not the same thing at all!
And at this time, I realized that this place is not like the villa area we came out from, it seems to be completely covered by white snow, it is vast, and I can't see where it is at all.

It's like the intersection of one world and another.

Indeed, the ghost aura here is unprecedentedly strong. Even if I am often with Cheng Ke, I am not so unaccustomed to it. A feeling of oppression and suffocation comes to my heart, which makes people very uncomfortable.

Arriving in front of the brazier, it can be seen that those dim figures who had finished receiving the "daily necessities" did not turn back to the starting point, but walked straight ahead. The front... looked like a subway exit, some figures neatly Walking down in unison, some figures went out neatly and lined up, giving the impression that it was just like the flow of people coming off work in the city.

And Cheng Ke was walking towards the "subway exit" with my back on his back.

"Where is this place?" I hurriedly asked, "Shall we go there too?"

"Well." Cheng Ke responded, and said in a low voice: "That is the transit point with the deepest ghost aura, and it will only be opened during the Cold Clothes Festival, connecting the underworld and the yang world, allowing those ghosts to claim what they should receive Things, so this place is the safest for us, we will go back at dawn."

gate of hell!
"But..." I thought for a while, "We've come so far, those people shouldn't be able to catch up, right? Do we have to go in?"

"For you, of course I can be as cautious as I can." Cheng Ke asked: "Didn't you say before that you believe in me as much as you believe in yourself?"

"It's true..." I thought for a while, and I was about to jump off his back: "Okay, let me come down, you are also very tired..."

"I'm not tired." Cheng Ke's arms were firmly bound around me, still in that commanding tone: "Don't move, I'll let you stay safe."

And at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from behind me: "Hey, it's you again?"

The sound is flat, a bit familiar.

I quickly turned around, and sure enough, it was the errand who asked me to help him find the lost woman!

Cheng Ke also turned his head and took a look at the errand.The deep peach blossom eyes are also a bit unexpected.

I hurriedly shook my arms happily like an enthusiastic girl who met an idol: "Master Yin! Long time no see!"

The errand slowly walked over with a look of doubt and confusion, he was still holding the seductive rope full of dementor bells in his hand, looked at me with his head tilted, and asked, "Is there anyone?" Hook you, what are you doing here?"

I hurriedly said: "No, I haven't seen you for a while, and I really miss you, so... I just came over to take a look during the cold clothes festival. You are still handsome and handsome, and your look is still the same as before, hahahaha .”

Seeing that I was empty-handed, the errand naturally knew that I was dishonest. He curled his lips and said, "Really, it's not been a long time since we met last time, right?"

"How do you know that seeing each other every day is like three autumns!" I hastened to say to Cheng Ke below me: "We meet old friends, I'm going to say something, you put me down first!"

Cheng Ke obviously looked unhappy, but there was something wrong in front of him, so it was not good, so he reluctantly put me down, and said in a low voice: "It's cold here, hurry up."

"Hey!" I happily agreed, jumped into the snow, and ran over to the errand happily. The errand looked at me so enthusiastically and wanted to hide, but I had already jumped After passing by, pointing to Cheng Ke, he said, "My lord, help me! That man kidnapped me, thinking of violating the rules, he dragged me to the underworld!"

As soon as I said this, the faces of Yin Cha and Cheng Ke changed, and Yin Cha looked even more unbelievable: "What did you say?"

I hid behind the errand and said, "My lord, if you don't believe me, he is not a ghost at all. He stepped on the snow, and there are footprints!"

Cheng Ke, who had memorized me all the way back, immediately frowned, and scolded: "Lu Qiao, what nonsense are you talking about, are you still deceived by the previous ecstasy?"

"My lord, what I said is true!" I hurriedly said, "He wants to have the immortality of my body, but he is afraid of my scarlet blood curse, and he can't kill me unless he hooks out my soul and makes my body It is possible to get my body and longevity only by replacing someone else's soul. My soul is supposed to be hooked by you, but he dared to steal your work, it is simply audacious!

To tell you the truth, my lord, I am wholeheartedly waiting for you to seduce me personally so that I can see you again, who knows!He didn't even give him this chance, he was so insane! "

Hearing this, Yin Cha's eyes became gloomy, staring at Cheng Ke who was frowning, and said, "I said, why did you suddenly change roles around you, and you have been making trouble for a long time, and you still dare to seduce my soul?" of……"

Sure enough, that person was in my eyes, and it was indeed Cheng Ke, but Yin Er would never be confused by any spells. Naturally, I could see it all at once. Cheng Ke, who is looking at me, is not alone at all!

Cheng Ke, who carried me all the way back, heard this, and a shadow was cast on his handsome face: "Lu Qiao, do you know what you are doing?"

"I know it all!" I hurriedly said to the errand: "My lord, this kind of person still insists on playing tricks, fakes and shoddy goods, and plays big swords in front of Guan Gong. He really doesn't take you seriously. It's simply tolerable. What can't be tolerated!"

Yincha tilted his head, turned to Cheng Ke, and said calmly, "Where are you from?"

"I...I..." Cheng Ke, who came with my back on his back, looked at me, with a kind of loathing and unwillingness in his deep peach eyes, I saw his slender figure slightly turned to one side, but suddenly stretched out his hand and stroked the ground , I saw that the snow all over the ground suddenly lifted up from the ground, like a white curtain, covering his whole body!

Xueluo, people disappeared, only some tiny footprints remained.

Yin Cha was also slightly taken aback, as if he hadn't expected that someone would dare to play tricks in front of him, his face darkened, he was a ruthless person who was completely different from the usual one, he raised the hook in his hand, and the bell rang, aimed at that Cheng Ke rolled past the direction pointed by the footprints left by Cheng Ke before.

"Good fellow, he...he actually resisted arrest!" I immediately said, "It's time to fry the fork in the oil pan! What kind of place is our underworld!"

In an instant, the seductive rope went far away, and the Yin servant didn't bother to bother with me about what I said "our underworld", but flew into a rage: "Where did you come from, you dare to play tricks in the underworld, it's really cool!" Tired of..."

As he said that, his body floated away, just like the god of death in the comics, he also followed the direction of the seductive rope very neatly.

I have to make people admire, handsome!
How could a bad guy be easy to mess with? Now the counterfeit and shoddy products can be regarded as stealing chickens and losing money. I really admire my wit and wish to applaud myself three times.

It's a pity that my heroic deed was not seen by any audience. Only countless gray figures drifted past me without seeing it. No matter how clever I was, it had nothing to do with them.

You thought you could fool me by pretending to be Cheng Ke, but you really thought I was a three-year-old kid!
But... Seeing that I have returned to freedom now, I have to find a way to go back to that villa. Although I don't know what happened to the enchantment of that door, it is confirmed now. I knocked on the door before. Shan Xiang, the one who asked me to open the door is actually the real Cheng Ke.

Hey... Worrying, I am a standard road blind. The counterfeit Cheng Ke carried me all the way here. Let me find it myself. I am afraid it is a bit difficult...

While thinking this way, while continuing to walk back, suddenly a clear voice came from behind: "I don't know the way back, do I?"

My heart tightened, and I raised my head, only to see the expressionless person in front of me, it really was Cheng Ke again!

The three-dimensional facial features are as sharp as a knife and an axe, the big peach blossom eyes are always deep like a deep pool, and the thin lips protrude, if there is nothing, with a sneer that is inexplicable and joking, it is the one I am used to seeing every day look!

My heart sank suddenly, and I couldn't help but backed away, thinking, no, I was lucky just now, and I met a bad luck, how did he escape so quickly?
