C18

Under the dim light, I slowly groped my way forward. The house was empty all year round, its walls already covered in cobwebs, dust, and ruins. There were a few ghost-like scenes on TV, and the place I walked should have been the garden at the back of the house.

The trees in the yard were thick, probably hundreds of years old, and the leaves blocked the moonlight. In short, the atmosphere was very strange, and I could feel many pairs of eyes watching from within the invisible branches, and a chill ran down my spine. At this moment, a house appeared in front of me, and it seemed that the people who lived in this house before had a certain status, because the house was very large.

"How can that be the same? I'm here for official business, I'm here to capture ghosts." I shot him a glance. "What a coincidence, I'm here to capture ghosts too." Chen Ran patted his chest and said.

Chen Ran shook his head, "I was going to come to this place anyway, but I coincidentally bumped into you." I looked at him incredulously. Chen Ran looked at me, "Then what about you, what kind of person are you, for a girl to come to this kind of sinister place alone, you must have a lot of guts, aren't you afraid?"

I shook the peach wood sword in my hand and said proudly: "The ghost was my nightmare before, now I am the ghost's nightmare." Chen Ran looked at me with doubt in his eyes, "You really came here to catch a ghost, can you do it?" I can't be bothered with him. I'll scare you to death when I catch a ghost.

I took out a red rope and prepared to set up the array. Chen Ran looked at the rope in my hand curiously, I didn't want to bother with him, so I just ignored him, forget it, I'll just take it as a show of courage, although it is just a small oil bottle, I wrapped the red rope around the four corners of the house, and hung a bell on it. This is a spirit sealing array, once the ghosts appear, the rope will move, and once the bell rings, I'll know his direction.

I once again set up the same formation in every room in the house, and then pulled Chen Ran to sit on a stool in the house. Chen Ran looked at the red ropes, "Is it alright like this?" I looked at him, calculated, grabbed his hand and punctured a hole, dripping a few drops of blood on the ground. Then I took out the fire curse and burned it, and the blood evaporated into the air.

Chen Ran held his own finger, feeling indignant. I patted his shoulder and said, "Don't you see that the ghosts on TV all like to absorb the essence from men? When I spread your scent, those ghosts came over themselves." Chen Ran continued to use his gaze to denounce me, I ignored him and just sat down by the side of the table, quietly waiting.

Roughly two hours later, Chen Ran and I yawned countless times, but Chen Ran was a little impatient. "Let's go back. As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of a bell suddenly came from afar. I covered Chen Ran's chattering mouth and perked up my ears to listen, but when I focused my mind, there was no sound at all.

I vexedly let go of the hand that was covering Chen Ran and shot a glance at Chen Ran. He's actually blushing, no way, I couldn't help but find it funny, and was just about to tease him for a while, when suddenly, a dark wind blew and the sound of bells came from all directions. The red rope in the room we were in also shook violently, and the sound of the bells reached my ears like they were crying.
