Chapter 236 Head
Chapter 236

Jiang Li followed Yu Wenxuan's gaze and saw that outside the yard, the moon emerged from the clouds and cast a pale light on the ground.

There in the crack of the door...a jumping shadow was reflected.

The shadow was very strange, it looked like a basketball that kept bouncing in place.

Jiang Li swallowed her saliva. She didn't want to know what that thing that kept jumping outside the door was. She just wanted to leave here quickly.

But now the door was blocked by the bouncing thing, and it was impossible to climb over the wall back the same way, because Lu Guo and the ghost lying on the ground were still on the other side of the wall.

Now Jiang Li and Yu Wenxuan are in a dilemma.

I don’t know how long I have been here. Jiang Li’s legs are numb from squatting, and the flickering shadow outside the door is still there.

She turned her head and looked around. Although she was very afraid of Yu Wenxuan, she was also grateful that Yu Wenxuan did not leave her alone and escape over the wall.

However, this time, when she turned around, she found that Yu Wenxuan was gone!

Jiang Li looked around again, where was Yu Wenxuan?

Did he sneak away again?

How could he be... so selfish...

After realizing that Yu Wenxuan had left her side at some point, Jiang Li suddenly felt the air around him become much colder.

The moonlight shining in the yard made everything even more eerie. Everything seemed to come alive, even the forked branches looked like two arms pinching her neck...

Jiang Li was so frightened that he lost his mind.

Where is this place...
Yu Wenxuan... when did he leave...

Besides... it's not even midnight yet, is it? The mission hasn't even started yet, and this village is already so scary...

This means that the weirdness of the village was not caused by Wu Ji. So even if they stayed in the village for five days and finally reached the deadline, they might not be able to leave the village immediately.

The horror and curse have nothing to do with Wu Ji...but with this place itself.

The more Jiang Li thought about it, the more terrified he felt.

The more she thought about it, the weirder everything around her seemed.

Some things are scary to think about. In Jiang Li's current state, even if there is no ghost, he can still imagine a ghost and scare himself to death.

Jiang Li himself also realized that something was wrong with his emotions. This state of being like a frightened bird and being suspicious of everything was of no use other than making his nerves tense and causing fatigue quickly.

Must... leave here.

Get out of this yard!

Jiang Li stuck to the wall and groped his way forward in the shadows.

As she walked, she comforted herself:

No...if the jumping shadow at the door was a ghost, it should have come in long ago...besides, how could a ghost be shaped like a ball?

His heart was pounding, and his forced self-persuasion had some effect. Jiang Li still planned to go out through the main gate of the yard.

Without help from others, she couldn't climb over the wall surrounding the yard.

No problem...it must be a misunderstanding, maybe it's just a shadow of a bunch of weeds blown by the wind...

Jiang Li walked slowly and carefully, but when he really reached the door, he couldn't suppress his fear and nervousness.

Jiang Li held his breath and quietly leaned his head over to the crack in the door.

"boom--"

"boom--"

"boom--"

As she approached the crack in the door, she could already hear a very rhythmic bouncing sound, as if there was someone playing basketball outside the crack.

This sound immediately dispelled Jiang Li's unrealistic fantasies. This constantly bouncing shadow must be something heavy, otherwise it would not make such a "bang bang" sound.

So...what is it?
Fear spread in her heart, but she had no choice now.

Perhaps, only when humans are in desperate situations can they burst out with courage beyond their imagination.

Jiang Li gritted his teeth and pushed open the wooden door at the entrance of the yard!

The moment she pushed it open, she finally understood... what exactly was this thing that kept jumping at the door...

This is actually Lu Guo!

Lu Guo kept jumping on the ground, and when he heard the door open, he immediately turned to Jiang Li!
Jiang Li was so frightened that her face turned pale and her legs went weak. Lu Guo was looking at her with a miserable and desperate smile on his face with an extremely terrifying expression...

The unprecedented fear made Jiang Li's brain go blank, but her instinct for survival made her rush out of the yard immediately, running into the shadowy corners!
Help……

Who can save me...

Jiang Li’s despair almost overflowed from his heart.

Yu Wenxuan...why did you want to leave secretly by yourself?

They are all Wu Ji’s companions, is she so untrustworthy?
In addition to despair and fear, a deep-seated resentment emerged in Jiang Li's heart.

She didn't understand why Yu Wenxuan left her behind and ran away secretly, and she didn't even know how Yu Wenxuan escaped.

Did he climb over the wall and get back?
Isn’t he afraid of the evil spirits on the other side of the wall?

My thoughts are disorganized, yet clear.

Contradictions lingered in his mind, and fear prompted Jiang Li to look back.

But looking back...

Under the miserable moonlight behind him, Lu Guo actually jumped two or three meters away, chasing her quickly!
Jiang Li was frightened again, adrenaline was secreted wildly, and he ran forward desperately.

Jiang Li did not know how many alleys he passed through and how many corners he turned, but in his frantic escape for his life, he was not actually illuminated by a single ray of moonlight.

I have to say that human potential is much higher than we imagine.

After turning the corner again, Jiang Li found that there was no road ahead, but there was a building like an ancestral hall. Both the building materials and style were several times more elegant than other houses in the village, like a world of difference.

However, Jiang Li didn't pay attention to these at the moment. What she noticed was that the door of this ancestral hall-like building was ajar and not closed!
With no other options left, Jiang Li rushed in without hesitation, closed the door immediately, then turned around and brought in a few wooden chairs and pressed them against the door.

Jiang Li was breathing heavily, his bangs were sticking to his forehead due to sweat, making him look disheveled.

Her heart was still pounding because she didn't know whether that person would come in.

Can this door block it?

Of course, the best case scenario is that it didn't notice that Jiang Li had escaped into the ancestral hall and turned away.

However, the probability is so low that it is almost the same as winning the lottery.

Jiang Li didn't have any extravagant hopes. She just hoped that the door was strong enough to keep Lu Guo out.

In fact, until now, Jiang Li still finds it hard to believe that the ghost chasing him is Lu Guo.

Has he...turned into a ghost?

Jiang Li felt an inexplicable fear and sadness.

He was clearly a living person just now...

Lu Guo...

Jiang Li silently recited Lu Guo's name in his heart, hoping that he could rest in peace.

However, what she didn't know was that behind her, under the altar in the ancestral hall, a pair of strange eyes were staring at her...
