Chapter 68. Troublemaker Liang Fei
Arc 3 : Supernatural Horror Movie Nightmare.
Du Yan walked at the back of the group of people. In fact, he was not very anxious. How could he not make any preparations if he wanted to save the lives of several people from the hands of the evil ghost from the ancient village?
Du Yan’s right hand was hollow, and in the palm of his hand, there was a small paper figure cut out of a yellow talisman paper, on which was written Liang Fei’s birth date. He had tried to figure out the birthdays of these people as early as yesterday, and now it came in handy.
Seeing that no one in front of him was paying attention to him, he lowered his head slightly and glanced at the thing in his palm. The little yellow paper man was slightly black, which meant that Liang Fei might be entangled with some evil spirits, but his life was not in danger.
As for Liang Fei’s whereabouts, they are still in the normal world now. If Du Yan doesn’t give himself some time, it will be difficult for him to find out where he has gone.
Under the current circumstances, he didn’t want to bring out these mysterious things just yet and scare these simple college students. Lest it backfire when he didn’t find Liang Fei, but scared the three fires on their body and made them possessed by the evil spirits, which would only make things more troublesome.
Anyway, the situation at the ancestral hall was indeed not normal, so he might as well take this opportunity to go over and take a look.
The door of the ancestral hall was still ajar. Xu Yuan was very anxious and ran over as soon as he saw the outline of the ancestral hall. Seeing this, Xiao Lang was afraid that he would cause trouble in his anxiety.
As a local and the leader of the group, Xiao Lang was understandably afraid that something might happen to Xu Yuan, so he chased after him. However, why did this man drag him along to chase after him? Du Yan was forced to run with Xiao Lang. He glanced at his grabbed hand and was quite speechless.
At the entrance of the ancestral hall, Xiao Lang stopped Xu Yuan, who was about to go in and said: “Wait, there’s no need to rush.”
When everyone arrived at the entrance of the ancestral hall, Xiao Lang asked everyone to bow to the entrance and said: “Sorry, we are from other families, but maybe a friend of ours accidentally ran in. Please forgive our offense. We will buy a bottle of wine as an apology after we go out.”
After saying this, Xiao Lang led everyone into the ancestral hall.
The ancestral hall was empty and very quiet, and it didn’t look like there was anyone inside.
Xu Yuan shouted: “Liang Fei, are you in there? If you are, don’t hide, come out quickly.”
The ancestral hall was not very big. When they were outside the door, they couldn’t see the inside clearly due to the light. Now, after walking through the patio, everything can be seen at a glance.
There was indeed no one inside. If Liang Fei was really hiding in the ancestral hall, he could only be in the inner hall behind. However, when everyone approached the inner hall, they found a large copper lock hanging on the closed door.
“This place is locked up.” Xiao Lang said: “Liang Fei is definitely not here, let’s look for him somewhere else.”
Just as everyone walked to the door of the ancestral hall, a noise suddenly came from behind.
Bang, bang, bang——
It sounded like a rhythmic knock on a door, and everyone stopped walking the moment they heard it.
Zhou Tian subconsciously grabbed Wei Zizhe’s hand tightly: “What is this sound?”
Du Yan turned around and glanced towards the inner hall: “It seems to be coming from there.”
Xiao Lang turned around at almost the same time. He didn’t say anything but just nodded with a frown.
Xu Yuan calmed down a little at this moment and felt that something was wrong: “Is there someone in there?”
Bang——bang——bang——
Several people were so frightened that they trembled all over, and somehow, they all hid behind Xiao Lang and Du Yan in tacit understanding.
Xiao Lang looked a little solemn, but at least he remained calm. He asked: “Liang Fei, is that you?”
That direction became quiet again, and no more sound came out.
Du Yan said: “Let’s go and take a look.”
Xiao Lang and Du Yan walked inside again, and Xu Yuan followed without hesitation. Tian Luo hesitated for a moment, then followed. Zhou Tian held Wei Zizhe’s hand tightly and stayed at the door.
Several people stopped in front of the locked wooden door, and Xu Yuan asked again: “Liang Fei, are you in there?”
There was still no movement inside, except for the banging on the door again.
Xiao Lang’s tone became slightly more serious: “Liang Fei, whether you are in there or not, now is not the time to joke!”
The knocking sound stopped, and everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
The scene in front of them was too bizarre, but if they wanted to leave, they couldn’t leave Liang Fei, who might have been accidentally locked up inside.
The two panels of the wooden door were locked, but there was a gap between them.
Xu Yuan thought about it, mustered up his courage, and went to the gap to take a peek at what was going on inside.
The lighting in the inner hall was even worse, it was pitch black, Xu Yuan closed his eyes to the gap and looked for a long time, but he couldn’t see clearly what was inside.
Xiao Lang asked him: “Did you see anything? Is Liang Fei inside there?”
Xu Yuan shook his head and said: “I can’t see clearly, it’s dark inside.”
Xiao Lang took out his cell phone: “How about I give you some flash?”
After saying that, he turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone and shone it through the gap. Seeing this, Xu Yuan leaned over to the gap to take a look. As soon as he leaned over, he let out a scream and fell butt down on the ground.
Xiao Lang was startled, and then he looked through the gap, but he saw nothing. Except for a small area illuminated by the light, where he could see the gray floor inside, the rest of the place was still pitch black.
Tian Luo helped Xu Yuan up and asked him: “What’s wrong with you?”
Xu Yuan’s chest rose and fell violently, and it took him a long time to calm down. His lips turned pale: “When I looked in just now, it seemed like someone was looking at me through the crack of the door. It was eye to eye, and I was caught off guard and got scared.”
After hearing this, Xiao Lang frowned and looked at the wooden door, his expression becoming more serious: “Liang Fei, are you in there?”
The person inside finally spoke, his voice a little ethereal, saying: “Hmm… mm…”
The voice sounded somewhat familiar. Xu Yuan forced himself to calm down and listened carefully for a moment. He felt that it sounded quite like Liang Fei’s voice.
Knowing that the person inside was someone he knew, Xu Yuan calmed down even more: “Don’t play a prank, how did you get in?”
After a while, the voice inside sounded again: “Hmm, mm, help, help, help me out.”
Now, everyone could hear the sound clearly. It was clearly Liang Fei’s voice, but the copper lock on the door was firmly fixed on it. How did Liang Fei get in there?
Could it be that a villager came and opened the door to get something, and Liang Fei ran in when no one was paying attention. As a result, when the villager left, he didn’t notice Liang Fei and locked him in?
But now is not the time to discuss this. The most urgent task is to get Liang Fei out of there.
Xu Yuan and the others stayed at the entrance of the ancestral hall, while Xiao Lang and Du Yan went to the entrance to find staff to come and let him out.
As soon as Xiao Lang opened his mouth, the staff member guarding the door waved his hand repeatedly: “You must have heard wrongly. The keys are kept in the village committee office. No one is allowed in on weekdays except when ancestor worship is held.”
No matter how much they persuaded him, the staff member still shook his head, claiming that this was a taboo in the village and that they could not go in and offend.
Du Yan spoke up at this time: “I noticed that there seem to be surveillance cameras at the entrances of various scenic spots in the ancient village. How about checking them?”
The staff member hesitated for a moment, thinking that if something happened to tourists in the ancient village, it would have a bad impact, so he took the two people to the monitoring room.
In today’s surveillance, not many people entered the ancient village. During that time, only Xiao Lang and his group were in Juren Residence, and they soon discovered Liang Fei.
He walked out of the house alone, looking back as he walked, and they didn’t know what he was looking at. The surveillance video quality was not good, so they couldn’t see his expression clearly, but from his staggering steps, Liang Fei seemed a little panicked.
Following this time point, Liang Fei’s trace was discovered in the surveillance under the big banyan tree. He ran all the way to the big banyan tree, circled around the dry well, and reached out to push the huge stone above.
Before his hand touched the stone, Liang Fei suddenly froze, then took something out of his trouser pocket and threw it out.
From the surveillance screen, it should be Liang Fei’s phone. The phone screen lit up, which should be when Xiao Lang called him.
Liang Fei stood there, staring at his phone, his body motionless, with no intention of picking up the phone. When the screen of the phone went dark, Liang Fei moved again.
He picked up the phone, walked to the dry well, squatted down, and pushed the phone into the well through the gap. After doing all these incredible things, Liang Fei walked towards the direction of the ancestral hall.
The last scene in which Liang Fei appeared was him entering the gate of the ancestral hall. After that, no one entered or left until Xiao Lang and his group appeared at the gate of the ancestral hall.
The staff member at the entrance was not from the village, but was from the tourism department. Although he knew some of the local traditions, things were indeed a little unusual. Compared to those traditional customs, he was more afraid that something might happen to the tourists.
The staff member took the key and went to the entrance of the ancestral hall with Xiao Lang and Du Yan.
In front of the inner hall door, the staff member stood at the door and listened. He found that there was indeed a sound coming from inside, so he took out the key and opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, they saw Liang Fei sitting by the door. Liang Fei was in a daze with his eyes open. When he saw the door open, he stood up and walked out. There didn’t seem to be anything wrong with him.
The staff member asked sullenly: “How did you get in?”
Liang Fei said in a low voice: “When I came, the lock was hanging on it, not locked. I don’t know how it was locked later.”
The staff member looked dissatisfied and said: “Do you tourists have any manners? Why did you come to the ancestral hall? The local villagers are very sensitive about this. Fortunately, I found out. If the local villagers found out, they would beat you up!”
Liang Fei was indeed wrong in this matter, so Xiao Lang and his group stood there obediently to listen to the lecture. Liang Fei, the culprit, lowered his head at the back of the team, and no one knew what he was thinking. He did not speak again and did not apologize.
Fortunately, the staff member saw that their attitude was quite sincere, so he did not force them out of the ancient village.
“Don’t run around. This village is still very traditional and has many taboos. You must be out before five o’clock.” The staff member said and turned away.
