Chapter 161 False Alarm
Hearing Zong Qinggang's cry, everyone climbed up from the ground in horror, staring uneasily at the window Zong Qinggang pointed to.
"Is that your courage?"
Seeing everyone in a panic, Xu Tianhua couldn't help but snorted coldly, and took a few steps from the crowd to the window.
Since there are no electric lights in the house, the oldest oil lamps are used. One is placed in front of the windows on both sides, making a "pop" sound of burning grease from time to time.
In this almost suffocating environment, every sound made everyone's hearts skip a beat.
As soon as Zong Qing noticed a black shadow flashing outside the window, he retreated to the crowd. Even though Xu Tianhua had already reached the window, he was still trembling with fear and had no intention of going there.
Xu Tianhua opened the window lock with one hand, and performed several tricks with the other hand, placing it on his chest to prepare for possible sneak attacks from outside the window.
But when he opened the window and looked out the window where the wind was blowing, all he saw was darkness.
Xia Qi stood in the crowd, his eyes lingering outside the window, but he had no choice but to strengthen his vision, so he could only judge the situation outside through Xu Tianhua's expression.
As for Xu Tianhua, it was obvious that like Leng Yue, he had opened his eyes long ago, so ordinary darkness could not interfere with his vision at all.
Regarding the Sky Eye, Xia Qi thinks that it should be the same as his visual enhancement, but the name is different. If he could enhance his vision, he might be able to see like Xu Tianhua and Leng Yue, even in the dark.
"Where is the shadow you mentioned?"
After Xu Tianhua searched in the darkness to no avail, he turned his head and asked Zong Qinggang in a bad tone.
"Just... right outside the window, I just saw it clearly."
Zong Qinggang stammered in his answer. In fact, he was not sure whether he was dazzled at the time.
Maybe Xu Tianhua also understood that any minor abnormality in the incident required 120 points of attention, so he didn't care too much about Zong Qinggang, which also made Zong Qinggang feel relieved.
After hearing Xu Tianhua say that it was just a false alarm and nothing unusual was found, the pale faces of Zhao Qiuya and others regained a little life, and they kept secretly rejoicing.
Xia Qi and Leng Yue looked at each other, feeling in their hearts that this situation was the worst. Because the ghosts looked like they were fighting guerrillas against them, appearing from time to time to scare them, keeping them in extreme fear until their inner defenses completely collapsed.
"Continue the vigil!"
Xu Tianhua once again ordered Wang Kai and the others to stay vigil. Although the three of them had not yet recovered from their previous panic, they could only bite the bullet and continue.
Zong Qinggang has a hairstyle similar to that of a watermelon head. He is about the same height as Xia Qi, both around 187cm, but is a little thinner than Xia Qi.
After being frightened just now, Zong Qinggang didn't dare to get so close to the window this time, and focused all his attention on the window.
As for Wang Kai and Zhao Qiuya, they were still very affectionate, and from time to time they would say a few words that were incompatible with the current environment.
Zhao Qiuya didn't care what others thought of him, she just hugged Wang Kai's thigh and refused to let go. Wang Kai is also very dedicated. He has to keep an eye on what's going on outside the window, but he also has to shoulder the chivalry spirit of protecting Zhao Qiuya.
Time passed slowly for half an hour in an extremely depressing atmosphere.
Although everyone widened their eyes to prevent emergencies, the long-term tension on their nerves made them exhausted. At this time, people began to yawn continuously in the room, obviously they were all very sleepy.
Leng Yue didn't care so much and was still resting with his eyes closed. Xia Qi held on for a while. Thinking that today was the first day and he would have to stay up all night tomorrow, he stopped holding on and closed his eyes. Get some rest.
In the next half hour, more and more people chose to close their eyes and rest, and the breathing of everyone in the room gradually became evener.
As soon as everyone closed their eyes to rest, the three people responsible for the night watch immediately panicked, because they all thought about how Fang Xinxin, who was watching the night before them, died.
There was no warning. One second she was still talking, but the next second her head moved.
"Kay, I'm so scared. I'm afraid I'll be like that girl before."
Zhao Qiuya hugged Wang Kai tightly and shed tears of fear again as she spoke.
What Wang Kai fears most is the tears of girls, not to mention the person who is crying is the person he has secretly loved for a long time. He felt a pain in his heart and comforted him in a low voice:
"Don't talk nonsense. As long as I'm still alive, even ghosts can't hurt you."
"But that ghost can kill people invisible, so it's impossible to guard against it."
"That ghost is not that scary. If it has the absolute strength to deal with us, it will not hide from us all the time. As long as we find it, we can definitely kill it."
Wang Kai and Zhao Qiuya were whispering, and Zong Qinggang stood opposite and said with dissatisfaction:
"No one cares about your show of affection, but now is the vigil time, so pay attention."
"Watch your side, it's not your turn to command what we want to do!"
Wang Kai did not speak, but Zhao Qiuya glared at Zong Qinggang and shouted in a sharp voice.
"Yes, I am not qualified to command you, but there is a saying that I don't know if you have heard of. Showing affection will lead to death quickly."
"Zong Qinggang, are you done yet?"
This time it was Wang Kai who spoke. He was obviously angered by Zong Qinggang's words, "Show affection will kill you quickly."
"Wang Kai, this is the end of the matter. I'm afraid our friend will end up here. Who am I, Zong Qinggang, and how do I usually treat you? You know it in your heart. Now you are not willing to hesitate for a bitch. If you fall out with me, I can finally see you clearly."
"Your mother is a bitch!"
Hearing Zong Qinggang talk about herself, Zhao Qiuya suddenly changed from the sweet little bird before to a resentful woman, glaring at Zong Qinggang with a vicious face.
"snort!"
Zong Qinggang was too lazy to talk to Wang Kai and Wang Kai anymore. After smiling sarcastically at the two of them, he focused his attention on the window again.
"That stinking scoundrel is clearly instigating us. It really makes me mad."
Zhao Qiuya was extremely angry at Zong Qinggang, and the resentment on her face still showed no sign of diminishing.
Wang Kai glanced at Zong Qinggang at this time, and after thinking about it, he comforted Zhao Qiuya:
"Don't pay attention to him. It's not worth getting angry with that kind of person. Let's just be ourselves."
"Well, you're the best."
Zhao Qiuya once again transformed into the little bird she was before. At the same time, a gust of wind suddenly blew outside the window, causing the closed doors and windows to vibrate. Even the two kerosene lamps placed by the window started to shake. There was a strong swaying, as if it would suddenly go out in the next second.
