MTL - Top Horror Novelist-Chapter 16

Before Chi Yiyin could see the image behind the door clearly, an unpleasant smell rushed out through the crack of the door.

The smell of traditional Chinese medicine is mixed with the smell of mold that has not been ventilated for a long time, and there are even traces of **** smell mixed in.

Chi Yiyin once smelled this smell in the room of an old man who was dying. It seemed to symbolize twilight and death, which made people instinctively bored.

"Yuze, can we leave after seeing your mother? Auntie still has a lot to say to you."

The aunt gently took Chi Yiyin's arm, she was extremely resistant to stepping into the room, and wanted to take Chi Yiyin out.

The room was dark with no lights on.

But with the light of the red lantern, Chi Yiyin could still see the scene behind the door clearly.

The originally luxurious furniture decorations were dumped on the ground, the carpets, windows and curtains were messed up, and it was so messy everywhere, and behind the door, there were wine bottles and wine jars scattered on the ground.

A large amount of red liquid was stained on the ground. Chi Yiyin thought it was blood, but after sniffing it carefully, he realized that it was actually wine.

—One of the most famous specialties in this area, Nvnuhong.

[Key item trigger: Daughter Red.

From the time when the daughter was born, the wine was selected and buried deep in the ground, and when the daughter was married, it was dug out to entertain guests. This is the custom of Gushu Town, which symbolizes the family's blessing and importance to the daughter. 】

But now, the mother dug up the wine herself, refused to see her children, and hid in her room to drink too much, drinking up the wine that should have been unsealed when her daughter got married.

As soon as Chi Yiyin took a step, he bumped into the wine bottle on the ground, making a rolling sound.

He frowned and looked at the butler, asking what was going on.

The housekeeper sneered, and his voice was cold: "As the wife of the Ma family, you should contribute to the prosperity of the Ma family. If you can't make the family prosperous, then you don't deserve this position."

After finishing speaking, the butler bowed to his aunt, turned around and walked towards the banquet hall.

The aunt seemed to want to leave with the housekeeper, but since Chi Yiyin was by her side, she also knew that she couldn't speak ill of her parents in front of her children, so she forced herself to smile and said, "Yuze, didn't I mean to see you?" Mother? Come on."

"Let's leave after we finish reading, don't disturb your mother's rest."

As she spoke, she took Chi Yiyin by the hand and walked into the room on her own initiative.

This is the appearance of the main house of a typical wealthy family. It is different from the desolate ruins that Chi Yiyin saw a hundred years later. There are precious ornaments everywhere in the house, but a thick layer of dust has fallen on it. It seems that it has not been seen for a long time. Someone came to clean it.

Chi Yiyin could even hear rustling sounds, like some insects and ants crawling.

This should not be the living environment for a wealthy businessman's wife.

His eyes dimmed.

Unless... this madam did something, so that several children in the family did not come to visit her, and even the servants in the family treated her so harshly.

No wonder my aunt didn't come to visit her sister, she must know something, she knew that Ma's wife was not sick at all.

How is it possible for a sick person to drink to such an extent? Perhaps Ma's wife knew something and became decadent under the shock?

Through the gauze curtain of the bed curtain, Chi Yiyin could vaguely see a blurred figure, and the silhouette was reflected on the curtain. The red light and shadow made it look less like a human being, but more like a corpse.

The aunt refused to leave halfway, and forced a smile on Chi Yiyin, saying: "I won't go, your mother is sick and doesn't like to see outsiders, it seems that she has already fallen asleep at this time. Yuze and you Say hello to your mother and go."

Auntie didn't want him to lift the curtain, even when he was close to the bed curtain, she nervously clenched the corner of his clothes.

Chi Yiyin narrowed her eyes, doubts arose in her heart.

He promised his aunt with his mouth, and his footsteps gradually approached the mahogany Babu bed, as if he was ready to accept his aunt's suggestion.

But just as the aunt let out a long sigh of relief, Chi Yiyin immediately seized the opportunity at that moment, rushed towards the Babu bed, and at the same time raised the bed curtain with one hand.

My aunt's terrified scream sounded: "Don't, don't look at it!"

Chi Yiyin's pupils constricted, and she froze in front of the bed curtain.

He saw that what was lying among the silk brocades was not the graceful and elegant Mrs. Ma as he had imagined, but...

A female mummy.

The moment the bed curtain was lifted, many flies and insects rushed out buzzing, and at the same time, there was also a rotten stench that was covered up, which was disgusting.

The mummy was wearing fine silk clothing and a jade necklace around its neck, but its long hair was dry and messy, and it seemed that its last days were not good.

And she tightly covered her neck with her hands, her palms were shriveled like dried chicken feet, her mouth was wide open with a ferocious expression, and her deeply sunken eye sockets were dark looking upwards, her death was extremely painful.

Caught off guard, the empty eye sockets of the female corpse looked directly at it, and many people were taken aback before the live broadcast.

[Fuck, I'm scared to death! Just threw the phone out. ]

[Sloppy! Ouch, this is too disgusting, like squid skin, ooh. ]

[No, how did the anchor play this branch line? I've seen many live streams of this dungeon, but it's really the first time I've seen this scene. ]

[what? Mrs. Ma is dead? ? ? That's a fart! Mom is dead, what's the home? ]

[Hey, who is this anchor, trembling... This is too scary, hiss, the hairs are standing on end. ]

His aunt's scream hurt Chi Yiyin's eardrums, but after the initial shock passed, he quickly calmed down.

He shook out the folded handkerchief in his suit pocket and wrapped it in his hands, and began to examine the neck of the mummy, even opened the mouth of the mummy, and looked inside.

This scene left the audience stunned, especially when Chi Yiyin reached into the mummy's mouth to find something, it made their scalps tingle.

[Is this anchor a forensic doctor in reality? Isn't he afraid when he sees a mummy in this shape? ]

[I didn’t think there was anything before, but now it’s true, I vomited while I was eating, vomit! ]

Because the hands of the mummy stretched all the way to her neck, it means that she probably died of suffocation.

Seeing that her aunt hadn't recovered from the fright, and there were no other NPCs around to stop her, Chi Yiyin immediately investigated the cause of Mrs. Ma's death.

Was it an accident, disease, or homicide?

This determines whether the mother is among the objects of the female ghost's hatred, and perhaps based on this clue, she can find out what happened that year.

After confirming that Ma's house was the haunted house he had been to, Chi Yiyin began to doubt the clearance conditions of the dungeon.

If the story he heard in reality is true, judging from the fact that his daughter was forced to marry, it will be difficult for the Ma family to reconcile—not to mention, he has already seen the death of everyone except the master of the Ma family. .

The eldest lady of the Ma family has turned into a female ghost, the bones of the three younger siblings are under the table in the banquet hall, and the wife of the Ma family died in her room and turned into a mummy...

harmony? Ah.

Chi Yiyin touched a foreign object in the mouth of the mummy, and after wrapping it in a handkerchief, he took it out. When he saw the object clearly, he instantly understood the cause of Mrs. Ma's death.

"aunt…"

He stood up straight, and just when he was about to call his aunt to ask, he heard a sudden "bang!" from behind him, as if something had fallen.

My aunt's screams and maddened murmurs also stopped abruptly.

Chi Yiyin still remembered that there was a female ghost behind her, so instead of turning her head hastily, she lowered her eyes to look at the ground.

A ball slowly rolled over.

It was like the ball in the younger brother's hand touched Chi Yiyin's shoes and stopped.

The first thing he saw was a dark mass, the ball shook on the floor twice, and finally stopped, still.

Then, the black ball dissipated, revealing a wide-open eye, looking up at Chi Yiyin.

[Fuck! roll! Don't beat me! ]

[Mom, mom has a ghost! ]

[What's going on with this copy? What about the family carnival? Why is it so scary! ]

And Chi Yiyin realized at this time that this is not a ball at all, it is clearly Auntie's head!

While he was inspecting the mummy, a certain existence forcibly cut off his aunt's head.

That black hair is the loose hair of my aunt, and she didn't know how she died until she died, and there was still fear in her eyes.

In the dim room, only the light of the big red lanterns came in from the outside, reflecting on the floor like blood on the ground.

The room was dead silent.

The surrounding precious wood furniture did not add a bit of richness to the house at this moment, but instead brought a heavy sense of oppression, making it hard to breathe.

A shadow suddenly flashed from the window.

Chi Yiyin immediately looked up when he saw the projection on the ground, but only saw the red corner of his clothes outside the window.

He stepped forward decisively and chased it out, but crashed into the sea of ​​red lanterns.

...The entire house is hung with red lanterns everywhere, but there is no joy at all, the red is strange and gloomy.

No matter which direction Chi Yiyin looked in, he could only see red lanterns. The black and white Hui style mansion seemed to be a blood-splashed hell. When the lanterns shook, the lights and shadows swayed and overlapped, like countless ghostly shadows.

It seems that there are ghosts wandering everywhere in the whole house, they linger here dully, unable to leave and do not know their way back.

They were faintly visible under the red light, their pale faces carried the gloomy feeling of the dead, and the whimpering wind passed through the corridor, like a group of ghosts crying at night, tireless.

But Chi Yiyin just paused outside the door, and then strode towards the direction where the figure flashed past.

He pushed aside the red lanterns one after another, as if he was struggling to walk through the crowd of ghosts. The lanterns, which were supposed to be light, were extremely heavy, as if every one of them was as heavy as an adult man.

A bamboo lantern made of red paper, with the big red letter "囍" stuck on it, the candlelight danced and licked the tongue of fire, as if a ghost wanted to burn him to death here.

But Chi Yiyin still passed through the overwhelming red, and vaguely saw a figure standing in the blood-like red.

The woman was wearing an old Chinese-style wedding dress, with long skirts dragging on the ground, a golden crown on her head, swaying gracefully, standing with her back to Chi Yiyin, so she couldn't see her face clearly.

But Chi Yiyin didn't even hesitate, and immediately called out to the woman: "Miss Ma—!"

"Ma Yuze."

Chi Yiyin's eyes were calm, and she lowered her voice and asked the woman in wedding dress, "You don't want to marry, do you? What you want is not family harmony at all, you just want your own free life."

What is the most taboo thing for ghosts?

Memories during life, names after death, causes of death.

Chi Yiyin, who has been visiting haunted places for inspiration all the year round, knows this very well, but he still does not hesitate to call out the identity of the woman in the wedding dress and speak out about her life.

As soon as Chi Yiyin spoke, the temperature in the entire mansion dropped sharply, as cold as an ice cave.

He even saw the white mist that he spit out when he spoke and breathed.

And the Chuo Chuo ghosts around turned around slowly but neatly, looking at Chi Yiyin from all directions with their hollow and dark eye sockets.

Chi Yiyin was tall and tall, like an ancient well without waves, quietly waiting for the answer from the woman in wedding dress.

At the same time, his palm silently held the notebook in his pocket.

Amidst the thick white mist, the woman in wedding dress slowly turned around and looked in Chi Yiyin's direction.

At that moment, hundreds of red lanterns all broke from midair and fell to the ground.

The entire blood-red mansion fell into darkness.

In the next second, the flames ignited the lantern, and the red color spread all over the ground like winding blood in an instant, and the sea of ​​blood was boundless.

The woman in the wedding dress crossed her hands in front of her chest, her red nails were as sharp as knives, standing in the sea of ​​blood.

She was covered with a blood-red veil, and her face could not be seen clearly. The wind blew up and lifted a corner of her veil, revealing only her pale and bloodless chin.

But Chi Yiyin seemed to be able to feel that her gaze was looking straight at herself through the red hijab.

The mansion was covered in blood, and a group of ghosts roared and rushed towards Chi Yiyin from all directions—!
