After hearing what Lingling said, I immediately became spirited. After a period of deep sleep, my mental state has also improved a lot, and my body is no longer feeling as uncomfortable as it did during the day.

After waking up, I heard something outside … The sound of footsteps could be heard …

The footsteps were loud but slow. It was very dark outside.

The moment we looked up, we could see the window. At this moment, I subconsciously looked towards the window due to the sound of footsteps.

However … There was nothing there. I could clearly feel the sound of footsteps outside my window.

At this time, Lingling hugged me and stared at me with her two big watery eyes.

"Elder sister …" "I'm afraid …"

How could I not be afraid at this time? It's just that, as an older sister, I need to act calm so that Lingling can be at ease.

I lightly patted Lingling and said:

"It's fine …" It's the Lingling that's fine. "

However, just as I said that, I suddenly heard a series of banging sounds coming from my own window, as if I was about to break all the windows.

"Bang, bang, bang!" "Bang, bang, bang!"

The voice suddenly sounded, causing Lingling to scream and jump into my embrace.

But I was outside the window, and I still didn't see anything...

I lowered my head to comfort Lingling for a bit. During this process, I inadvertently glanced at him from the corner of my eyes.

Just this casual glance made all the hairs on my body stand on end.

Outside, a face that was already on the verge of rotting was pressed against the window of my house, and blood flowed unceasingly from that face.

Due to the extremely heavy decay, his face had already turned completely black and red. In some places, white bones were even exposed …

Looking at this face, I almost screamed out as well, but since Lingling was beside me, I resisted the urge in the end.

I covered Lingling's eyes, not wanting her to see the scene outside, but her body was already starting to tremble …

His face was pressed tightly against the window of my house, and one could vaguely see the colorful clothes he wore. Although it was pitch black outside, there was still a faint moonlight that fell on that thing.

I was still looking out of the corner of my eye, and I didn't even have the courage to look directly at it.

As for that thing, it used its rotten hands to pat my window time and time again, and even let out a wave of strange laughter …

The sound was unpleasant, like some bird's cry in the night, and before long my window was stained with blood.

This thing... What was he going to do? Did he want to come in?

At this moment, the movement of the thing outside became even more frenzied, as if there was something inside the room that was attracting it, and it frantically wanted to come in.

It was also at this moment that I suddenly heard crashing sounds coming from the roof. It was the sound of tiles being stepped on, as though something had stepped on them.

Lingling was already sobbing quietly in my arms, I don't know what to do now.

Although I had worked for years in vain, my adoptive father had never taught me anything that could save my life.

Now that I have to deal with this kind of evil situation, I can't do anything about it.

Just as I was trembling in fear, a hoarse meow suddenly came from the rooftop.

Accompanied by the sound of a cat's meow, the slapping sound disappeared in an instant, leaving behind only the buzzing sound of the glass, as if to indicate that everything that had just happened had truly happened.

When the sound died away, I mustered the courage to look out the window.

That hideous face has disappeared, and the blood I saw just now... But it did not disappear. It was still smeared on the window.

Just as I was looking out the window in a daze at the blood-red light, a black object suddenly jumps down from the roof.

I was startled again, but soon realised that it was the black cat I had seen a few days ago.

Black cats may look alike and hard to identify, but I definitely recognize this one.

It was because the black cat's eyes and the expression on its face were too human … It was as if he was smiling.

After a period of shock passed, I felt my heart still trembling. Lingling was crying softly.

"Lingling be good, do not cry, everything is alright … "It's fine now …"

I stroked Lingling's head, forcing out a smile and said.

"Big sister, I'm really useless. I said that I would take care of you, but now …"

Lingling said as she forcefully held back her sobs, wanting to put on a strong front.

It was the first time in my life I had heard someone say something so warm to me.

This is also the first time that I truly want to protect someone …

For this desire to protect, no matter how big the storm in front of me, I will still smile and face it...

At this moment, as I watched the black cat swagger away, the fear in my heart gradually receded. I slowly calmed down.

I closed my eyes and thought about everything that had happened in the past few days.

The Ghost Being I saw just now, is that Aunt Zhang? Her face was too rotten to be seen.

The Ghost Being seemed to want to enter the house, but was unable to. What was attracting her in this house?

Also, why can't I come in? What was stopping her?

I knew then that I couldn't go and pray for the end.

Everything is just beginning. If I keep praying, not to mention protecting Lingling, I won't even be able to protect myself.

The death of my adoptive father, Da Xiong's death, and even Da Xiong's mother's death, up until now, everything that happened that I saw that seemed to have some sort of connection.

It was not an accident.

This was not the end …

These words were like a magic spell, representing the death of a person.

Liu Songxian, adopted father, just what kind of agreement did these two make?

What would happen in the future? How can I face it?

Although he had already made up his mind to face everything bravely.

However, he had no idea what he was about to face. He didn't even know what he was about to face …

Now, I can only take things one step at a time. After learning from my foster father for so many years, I have still learned a lot.

Moreover, the scope of the Funerary Lady is rather wide, and I have learned a lot.

Even if I don't have the ability to protect my life, I believe that I will be able to use my knowledge to slowly approach the truth …

The reason why I was so muddle-headed and at a loss these two days was because deep down in my subconscious, I was unwilling to believe that there really was a Ghost Being causing trouble.

The main reason for this is my cowardice. I am just waiting for things to go according to plan, but I don't have the courage to take a step forward.

Now that I have someone I want to protect, I have to work hard.

Although I don't know how serious this matter is, several people have already died.

I don't know if Second Uncle Li who was kicked to death by a beast should be counted in this matter, or if Uncle Zhang, who died many years ago, should be counted in this matter?

If these people were included, then the scope of this matter … This was a bit too much …

For example, in these few days, including his adoptive father, three people died in just three days, their deaths appearing to be extremely strange.

His foster father's body had also been killed.

At first I tried to explain it all, but now it seems... It really was the doing of a malicious spirit …

Was the adoptive father a suicide? I still don't know.

But even if he did not commit suicide, he must have realized something before he died, and even discussed things with Liu Songxian before that.

As I thought, I saw that Lingling had already drifted off to sleep again, and I also slowly fell asleep.

In my dream, I felt as if I had come to an unknown place, but if you looked closely, you would see that this was a village.

It was just that the village in his dream had no houses. There were only graves, no tombstones, and no way of knowing whose grave the owner was.

And in the middle of the tombs, a figure stood there …
