Chapter 85. Take The Elevator Or The Stairwell?
Arc 3 : Supernatural Horror Movie Nightmare
T/N-: 2 chapters today. And I’ve used Ah Luo instead of Xiao Luo(original) as how Tian Luo’s grandparents addressed him. It is confusing when there are a character with Xiao in their name.
Now that he couldn’t find the reason, Du Yan asked more carefully: “I heard from Tian Luo that you two died of illness. Was there anything unusual at that time?”
The old man suddenly remembered something and said: “Hearing you say that, I remember it now. When my family sent me to the hospital, I had already lost consciousness. When I opened my eyes again, I found myself in my room at home. At that time, I didn’t realize I was dead yet, but I heard a strange sound outside the window.”
“Strange noise?”
The old man replied: “It was the sound of someone walking by dragging a chain, humming a song as he walked, but our house is on the 18th floor…”
Du Yan thought for a moment and hummed a few words: “Is this the song you heard?”
The old man nodded, and the old lady next to him also said that she had heard it at the time.
Du Yan explained: “What you heard was the soul-enchanting song. The sound of dragging the chains was the ghost messenger from the underworld coming to lead you to reincarnation.”
The old man suddenly realized and said: “No wonder I couldn’t help but float outside when I heard this song, but when I walked to the window, I didn’t know what pulled me back.”
The old lady said: “Me too.”
The situation was getting weirder now. The second bedroom Du Yan had been in just now was not set up with a formation to trap the soul, and the two elderly did not seem to be stuck in the world of the living due to obsession.
Du Yan asked: “The power that pulled you back must have a source, do you have any idea?”
They looked at each other, and the old man said hesitantly: “The source of the power that held me back seemed to be Ah Luo. When Ah Luo went to college in the past two years, I felt that the restrictions on us became a little lighter, and we could even go out to other places, but every time he came back, we were confined to this room and could not go anywhere else.”
The old lady nodded: “After he came back a few days ago, I suddenly found that I could touch things in the house. Then I patted Ah Luo’s mother on the shoulder and said something to her. I didn’t expect that when I came to my senses, it was already like this now.”
The source lies with Tian Luo? Du Yan suddenly remembered what the old lady said, and he asked: “You just said that you want to see Tian Luo get married and have children, and the yin energy in your body became particularly strong that time.”
Seeing the old lady’s puzzled expression, he explained: “This shows that you are very obsessed with it. Logically speaking, getting married and having children is a necessary stage in his life, but why are you so worried?”
The old lady hesitated for a long time before she made up her mind and said: “Because, because Ah Luo doesn’t seem to like girls, he’s a homosexual.”
Du Yan looked dazed and asked: “How did you know?”
The old lady replied: “One time when I was walking outside, I saw him hugging a boy. I originally thought that young people today were like this, but then I saw the boy kiss his face. I became a little worried, so together with the old man I asked Ah Luo in private.”
The old man said: “The child did not deny it at all, and directly said that he had never liked girls since he was a child, and his heart would beat faster only when he was with boys. At that time, we were afraid that the child would run away from home on impulse, so we comforted him and said it was okay as long as he was happy.”
“But as elders, how could we not worry about our grandson’s life?” said the old lady: “We just thought he was just ignorant, and he would realize how absurd it was when he grew up.”
Du Yan suddenly understood why Tian Luo was obsessed with the two old people because his grandparents were the only people in the world who knew his secret. Only with his grandparents could he open his heart and show his true self.
So when his grandparents passed away, he was totally unable to accept it and even became so obsessed that he trapped the souls of the two elderly people in his home.
However, it was very rare that the souls of two elderly people can be retained by the obsession of one person alone. It seems that Tian Luo is a person with a heavy mind and a strong obsession. Thinking of this, Du Yan felt that something was wrong.
Now Tian Luo likes boys and has a strong obsession in his heart. Coupled with the abnormal situation in the entire community, something must have happened to Tian Luo.
However, things had come to this point. Du Yan could not just leave the two old people alone. Secondly, he had been trapped. Instead of thinking about how to escape immediately, he should think of a way to fight back.
Du Yan said directly: “Now I have almost understood the cause and effect. If you two do not have any obsessions and do not do evil, it will not be difficult to send you to reincarnation.”
The two elders were both clear-minded people. Although they were a little reluctant, they also knew that staying in the world of the living would only bring trouble to their descendants, so they agreed to Du Yan’s proposal.
Du Yan stood in the living room, watching the shadows of two elderly appear in the air. They smiled and said to Du Yan: “Thank you for your help, young man.”
Afterward, a soft white light appeared on their bodies, and then they disappeared without a trace. Du Yan walked forward to check on Tian Luo’s parents and found that they were just a little weak and fainted on the sofa, and they were not injured.
After confirming, Du Yan did not leave, but took out a small knife from his backpack, and then said softly: “Sorry, this is the trouble caused by your son, lend me some of your blood.”
***
When Du Yan opened the door, Tian Luo was standing at the door with no expression on his face. It was unknown how long he had been standing outside the door.
Seeing Du Yan coming out, he smiled and said: “Where are you going?”
Du Yan replied: “Now that the matter has been resolved, I will, of course, leave.”
Tian Luo walked in, his tone sounding very polite: “It’s a rare opportunity for you to come here, please stay and have a meal.”
Du Yan refused: “No, I have something else to do.”
After saying that, he walked out the door.
“Wait.” Tian Luo grabbed Du Yan’s arm and said: “I finally got you into the trap, Master Du, it won’t be that easy for you to leave.”
Du Yan’s expression remained unchanged, as if he had anticipated Tian Luo’s behavior. He asked coldly: “Who are you? Why are you attached to Tian Luo?”
Tian Luo’s expression was a little strange. He was a little panicked at first, and then he smiled grimly: “I was attracted by his obsession. This young man is a good seedling. But after he saw some things that happened in the hotel, the dark side of his heart expanded infinitely. It can even drag the entire community into Shunping Ghost City.”
Du Yan did not respond, thinking about what happened in the hotel he was referring to, probably the messy things Xiao Lang did that night.
Tian Luo didn’t care that Du Yan didn’t respond and continued: “Train him well. This young man can definitely become a general under me.”
Du Yan frowned slightly and finally said: “Shunping’s Ghost King.”
Tian Luo smiled: “You are quite knowledgeable.”
Hearing the other party admit his identity, Du Yan still didn’t even move his eyebrows. He lowered his eyes slightly and moved his gaze to the other party’s hand, still holding his arm: “I advise you to let me go quickly.”
Just when Tian Luo was somewhat puzzled, a blinding light burst out from where his hand and Du Yan’s arm touched. Even Shunping Ghost King was injured by this sudden attack.
He screamed and took several steps back.
Du Yan finally smiled: “Because there is a vinegar pot, no one is allowed to touch me for more than three minutes, and it’s just been three minutes.”
After all, Shunping’s Ghost King was very powerful. Although his strength was greatly reduced due to being attached to Tian Luo, he still recovered in a very short time. He roared in extreme anger, dark red patterns began to appear on his face, and his eyes also turned a strange red.
Just as Tian Luo was about to rush in front of Du Yan, golden light spread from under his feet, and golden lines instantly covered the entire room, turning into a large net that trapped him tightly.
“What the hell did you do!”
Du Yan did not answer. Only a fool would say such nonsense. He turned and left but heard the other party suppress his emotions and said in a creepy tone: “This little trick won’t trap me for long.”
Du Yan turned around, ready to shut out Tian Luo’s weird laughter behind the door.
The moment he closed the door, Tian Luo’s expression turned panic again: “Master Du, save me, save me, I was wrong, I shouldn’t have been deceived and tricked you into coming here.”
“Sorry, now is not the time to save you.” After saying that, he closed the door without hesitation.
The moment he closed the door, he heard a voice from inside: “You can’t leave this Sophora Flower Garden.”
Du Yan knew that this little trick of his could not trap the Shunping’s Ghost King for too long. He could buy some time because the other party was attached to Tian Luo’s body. He used the blood of Tian Luo’s parents, who were connected to him by blood, to set up a formation that could temporarily lock the Shunping’s Ghost King in Tian Luo’s body and prevent him from leaving the house for the time being.
Although it was only a short time, it was enough for Du Yan.
Du Yan was standing in front of the elevator, hesitating about how to leave. Just then, the elevator reached the 18th floor, and the elevator door slowly opened.
There was someone in the elevator, a thin old man. He stood in the corner with his back to the elevator door, looking very serious, and not sure what he was looking at.
Du Yan did not go in, and the elevator door remained open, with no intention of closing.
The skinny old man suddenly said in a low voice: “Young man, do you want to take the elevator? If you want to get up, hurry up. It’s very rude to keep pressing the elevator door to tease the elderly…”
Du Yan replied: “No need, I’ll take the stairs.”
The skinny old man turned around, revealing half of his face that looked like it had been flattened by something. He smiled, revealing his dark red gums with few remaining teeth: “Young man, it’s good to use the stairs for exercise.”
After saying this, the elevator door closed and went down. Du Yan watched the number on the screen slowly change from “18” to “1”.
However, the numbers did not stop changing, but changed from “1” to “-1” and “-2”, and did not stop until it reached “-18”.
Looking at this incredible scene, Du Yan just sighed softly: “It seems that I really can only take the stairs.”
After saying this, he turned around, pushed open the fire exit door, and walked into the stairwell without hesitation.
