Nightmare Apostle

Just when Liu Haiping and Mi Shu thought that the conflict was inevitable, the old housekeeper woman suddenly stopped shaking, calmed down, looked away, continued what she was doing, skillfully took out a small box from the wooden box on the right side of the dressing table, and opened it Finally, a layer of white powder was applied on Liu Haiping's face. Liu Haiping's originally dark complexion turned pale as paper after makeup.

Naturally, Tong Han also had a sense of propriety and knew not to push the envelope too far. In order not to continue to irritate the housekeeper, the old woman,

She left her original position and tried to stay as far away from the screen as possible.

There was an eerie silence in the room, and everything before seemed to disappear. Soon after, the dressing up was finished, and when he saw Liu Haiping's strange makeup in the mirror, Tong Han couldn't help but feel frightened even though he was mentally prepared.

With bright red lips, exaggerated thick eyebrows, and a pale face, Liu Haiping was also frightened by her reflection in the mirror. At first glance, she looked like a paper doll.

"Why are you dressed up like this?" Liu Haiping still had a hint of luck. She turned to the housekeeper and forced out a smile, "Sister housekeeper, I'm not familiar with the house. Is... is there someone to accompany me outside at night?" Follow me?"

But the housekeeper ignored him at all. He took out a ball of red cloth from his arms and put it into Liu Haiping's hand. It was a dirty red hijab.

"I will only say these words once, please remember them." The housekeeper still had the same cold attitude, "There are several rules in the village. The first one is that it is strictly forbidden to go out at night. The mountains are smoky and the sunrise and sunset are not clear. , so we regard the crowing of the rooster as morning and the crowing of cows as dusk.”

"Whether it's daylight outside or not, you can only go out when you hear the rooster crow. Likewise, whether it's dark or not, it's not night until you hear the cow. Remember?" The butler's expression was extremely serious and tense when he emphasized these words. A dead face.

"Remember." The three nodded.

Rolling his eyes, the housekeeper stared at Liu Haiping, "Tonight you stay alone in the room. When you hear the sound of the cow, you must immediately light the two candles on the dressing table, then put on the red hijab and sit in front of the dressing table. , facing this pear-shaped mirror.”

"What happens next?" Liu Haiping asked softly.

"Wait." The old housekeeper's face was stiff and she said one word at a time: "Just sit here and don't have to do anything."

"Remember, no matter what you hear or perceive, they are all false. Don't move, let alone open the windows or doors. No one from us will come. Everyone in the village will stay in their rooms tonight. inside."

The old housekeeper lowered her voice and emphasized, "Don't pay attention to what's going on outside, and don't be curious. Just do your own thing and wait until dawn. Your mission will be over. I mean dawn after the rooster crows. "

After the explanation, the sky outside was gradually getting dark. The old housekeeper put away the tattered clothes that Liu Haiping had changed and was about to leave with Tong Han and Mi Shu, but Tong Han asked to stay for a while, and they I want to have a private conversation with Liu Haiping.

Perhaps the previous incident gave the housekeeper a warning, but this time the housekeeper did not stop them, but just urged them to hurry up. After all, it was getting dark.

After saying that, the housekeeper walked out of the room alone and went to wait for them outside. Tong Han was not polite and walked a few steps quickly to close the door.

At this moment, there were only three of them left in the room, and it was much easier to talk. Mi Shu didn't know how to comfort Liu Haiping, so she opened her mouth dryly, but couldn't say a word. After all, no matter what happened at this time, say what,

They all looked so pale and weak, and everyone understood that as Miss Du's substitute, Liu Haiping had a low chance of surviving.

To put it nicely, it’s called a substitute, but to put it more bluntly, it’s a scapegoat.

Now Liu Haiping seemed to have accepted her fate, and her expression was the most relaxed one among the three. After giving a wry smile, she stretched out her hand from the cuff of the red wedding dress, and slowly opened her palm, revealing a yellow-orange gold bar inside. , "Take this thing, maybe you will need it in the future."

"Don't give up. The mission has just begun. The difficulty won't be too high this time." Mi Shu comforted her voice, "You just need to remember a few key words from the butler, don't listen, don't ask, don't ask. Also, the criteria for distinguishing dawn from night. It’s the crowing of cocks and the crowing of cows, but other than that, it’s all fake.”

In comparison, Tong Han was more happy. She stepped forward and took away the gold bar from Liu Haiping's hand. The gold bar was rough in workmanship, but heavy in weight. There was a weird bulge on one side. She looked closer and saw that the bulge was It is a circle. The circle is not completely closed, leaving about a quarter of the gap, and there are still traces of polishing inside.

Tong Han didn't know what this meant, and she couldn't think about it at the moment. She pulled up a chair and sat down next to Liu Haiping. At the same time, she raised her head and looked at Mi Shu, "Help me keep an eye on what's going on outside." ,Thanks."

Mi Shu was very cooperative, first checking the situation outside the door, and then going behind the window to see if anyone was eavesdropping.

At the same time, Tong Han took Liu Haiping's hand and said with a serious expression, "You must listen carefully to what I am going to say next. Have you seen that screen? There is a big wardrobe behind the screen. That thing is not quite right. I I suspect there may be something like a corpse hidden inside.”

Hearing this, Liu Haiping's eyelids jumped and she immediately looked in the direction of the screen. Her fingertips became cold. Tong Han gradually tightened his grip on Liu Haiping's hand, as if to give her strength, "Don't panic, listen to what I have to say." "Tong Han lowered his voice, "I guess the danger tonight is not only from the outside, but there may also be something wrong with the wardrobe. No matter what happens, don't get close to that screen, let alone move it. The screen and the walls on both sides form a barrier. If you approach a hidden place and break the feng shui, the dirty things inside will probably escape, and you will definitely die."

"That monster is hiding... in the closet?" Liu Haiping never expected this situation. In an instant, her defenses were shaken, and her eyes turned red uncontrollably. She didn't want to cry, but this was completely wrong. The body's subconscious reaction.

"I advise you not to cry. Once you cry and put on makeup, the consequences are unpredictable." Tong Han reminded.

With just these words, Tong Han made Liu Haiping hold back her tears. Mi Shu, who was guarding behind the door at the moment, also signaled that someone was coming. Soon, the door was pushed open, and the old housekeeper stood at the door with a gloomy face. Besides, "It's almost time."

Liu Haiping held Tong Han's hand, her eyes were red, and she was reluctant to let her go. Tong Han opened his arms, hugged Liu Haiping gently, and whispered in her ear: "Remember what I told you. If so, good luck to you."

Mi Shu followed suit and hugged Liu Haiping goodbye.

After the two followed the old housekeeper woman far away, Tong Han looked back again and saw Liu Haiping in her wedding dress still standing behind the door, watching them leave.
