Chapter 10 The Hatchet Demon

The outstretched hand trembled a little, and even the rotating doorknob also trembled.

squeak-yah-

There was a faint and piercing sound, and the moment the door opened, the floor lamp in the room also silently went out.

Only the cold gloomy light in the corridor is left to even out the black and white, and the world seems to lose its tone.

A Yuan counted his beating heart, gritted his teeth and took a step forward.

The front and back of the promenade are empty, and there is no one.The demon with the hatchet may have gone elsewhere.

A Yuan looked at the hall not far away and heaved a sigh of relief. He was vigilant about his surroundings and whispered behind him, "Shall we go directly to the second floor?"

There was no response from behind, only the creaking sound of the wooden door closing, sharp and slow, like the whisper of a devil in such a place.

A Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he turned his head abruptly.

Thick darkness has completely covered the inside of the house, and the white wooden door is slowly closing.

At that moment, it seemed that someone was strangling him, and Ah Yuan suddenly felt that he could not breathe. The fear of death was far less than the despair, but he had to press his voice and whisper, "Chang An is here? Chang An exist!"

His voice is like a stone thrown into the abyss, and the ripples are countless whispers that resemble whispers.

The gloomy twilight made everything in front of him in a state of near-blindness, he took a step back, and he noticed that there was a scarlet door plate hanging on the door, which read——

"I'm here," someone said coldly a few steps in front of him, "follow me."

A Yuan glanced forward, and Chang An was standing in front at some point, so he quickly chased after him.

He didn't dare to think deeply, the name of Chang Anzai was faintly printed on the door plate.

The two walked lightly and ran all the way to the hall.

The entrance door has turned into a white wall, and the glimmer of light pierced by lightning shines through the glass windows, illuminating the hall moment after moment.

At this moment, the hall has already changed its appearance. The high-hanging crystal chandelier shattered into pieces of glistening glass, and the luxurious and expensive furniture was placed in a haphazard manner, covered with dust and entangled with cobwebs.

Only the grandfather clock standing in the corner is dedicated to its duties.It was just the sound of the pendulum swaying, dull like the panting and moaning of an old man who was seriously ill.

Lightning and thunder tore away all the camouflage of this western-style building, and the sprites finally revealed their ferocious faces.

There shouldn't be what they're looking for here.

Chang An went up to the second floor directly around the spiral staircase without touching the ground.He walked too fast, and A Yuan followed, only a few steps behind.

The spiral staircase has been in disrepair for a long time, and it creaks when stepped on. Occasionally, the rotten wood is unable to bear the weight, and with a muffled sound, it collapses into a black hole.

A huge mouse was frightened, and came out of it squeaking and jumping down the gap in the railing in a panic.

A Yuan was afraid of stepping on the wrong foot and falling down instead, so he had to stick tightly to the railing on one side, taking every step cautiously.

The spiral staircase was too long, and he had just walked a third of the way, when Chang Anzai in front had disappeared.

The upper part of the spiral staircase is brighter than the hall, and the faintly falling light falls on the last few steps, reflecting a pale and distorted figure.

A Yuan suddenly didn't dare to chase him anymore, in fact he couldn't leave either.

Something grabbed his ankle, the sharp end piercing through the thin pant leg and digging into the flesh.

He couldn't move, so he had to lower his head.

A bony hand stretched out from the gap of the railing, and it was firmly stuck on his ankle.

Through the vertical bars, a dry and pale face suddenly broke into sight.

The skinny man raised his head, staring at him with his black hole-like eyes, and a ferocious smile was about to grin on his forehead.

It slowly raised its arms, and the rusty hatchet slashed towards him along with the darkness.

"A Yuan!" Someone was calling him, but A Yuan couldn't hear him. Fear overwhelmed his five senses, and for a moment he felt that he had died.

Until there was a sudden chill in his palm, he couldn't help but let go of his hand, and a round bead gleaming with red luster fell straight towards the skinny man.

That... It's the earring Huang Anna gave him!

The hand that was holding him loosened suddenly, and Ah Yuan couldn't control his figure, and fell backwards.

The unexpected pain didn't happen, he fell into a warm embrace, and the next second he heard screams exploded close at hand!

The moment the bead touched the withered man, a woman in red was pulled out of it.

There was a big hole in her back, and blood stained her skirt.

She screamed and threw herself on the hatchet demon, stretched out her five sharp claws, grabbed his neck and bent back tightly.

The neck of the hatchet demon was broken back, and he raised the hatchet to slash the girl on his body continuously. The place where the hatchet cut was oozing white bones, but the woman did not let go at all.

The two ghosts fell together into the darkness downstairs while tearing apart.

But in the moment of completely disappearing into the darkness, the woman suddenly turned her head, two lines of blood and tears dripped from the corners of her eyes, she looked hideous and terrifying, but the corners of her mouth curved into a smile, as sweet as when she first met that pretty girl.

A Yuan only felt that his eyes were dry, but he couldn't shed any tears.He panicked, until the person behind him patted his face again, "A Yuan!"

Ah Yuan suddenly came back to his senses, and took a step forward to stabilize his figure.

Standing behind him was Chang Anzai.

A Yuan stared at him, a bit unable to believe that he was a man or a ghost, hesitated for a while, and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you in front of me?"

"What are you talking about?" Chang An stretched his fingers and rubbed his face vigorously. The action looked rough, but the fingers that fell on him were gentle as if they were stroking, "I have been following you. You will die as soon as you come out." Run wildly forward, I can't even catch up with you. Fortunately..."

He didn't continue, but his dark eyes were full of worry.Facing the hazy light, his handsome face seemed to be overflowing with suffocating affection.

Ah Yuan suddenly thought of the man leading him, "I saw you in front of me and told me to follow you. But you walked so fast, I could only run."

Chang Anzai said, "That's not me, you are fascinated by ghosts."

A Yuan was a little scared when he thought about it, and then he thought of Huang Anna who was protecting him, "Should we still go up to the second floor now? Was it because Huang An was killed by Anna?"

"Huang Anna can't kill Huang Anzheng, but she should be able to delay for a while." Chang Anzai took a step to the stairs in front of him, "Let's hurry up and find those three things before then."
