Chapter 33.

Since this is the case, then our concerns are also much less, the three tacitly nodded, cautiously entered the house, the attic's exit is at the end of the second floor, we each looked for something to defend ourselves, just ready to go upstairs, Lin Tian huffed and puffed and ran into his room. I have not reacted, he took a few pieces of rags and came out. Say, how did my clothes get like this?

Ding Ding pointed at the torch that had gone out in my hand and said that it had been burned by Tan Xi!

I glared at him and said to Lin Tian, take whatever I want before changing into it.

Lin Tian tsked at me for a while, said Tan Xi you really have ah, my clothes can be expensive.

I said you just a little life may not, if dead I can burn you a few good.

Lin Tian shrugged his shoulders, said forget it, and then ran to my room casually put on a piece of clothing and followed up.

I walked in front of him. The stairs upstairs are a bit old, and my feet creak on them.

I carried the candle, every step was careful, afraid that person hiding somewhere, suddenly give me a stick.

But fortunately we were safe all the way, and did not hear any movement except the footsteps of the three men.

Came to the attic in front of the exit, this mouth opened on the top of the head, only one meter square size. There is still a long distance from the ground, not to mention that the ground is all wooden boards, if someone jumped down we would definitely hear the distance.

Tintin looked up for a moment and tentatively reached out, but it was obviously out of reach. He asked me where the ladder was.

I pointed to the corner of the wall in the other direction, and although it was dark, I could still see a pair of ladders lying across the floor.

Lin Tian lowered his voice and asked me, do you think this person did not have a ladder, how did he go up to the attic?

I shook my head and said I don't know, unless he is two meters five tall there is still a possibility, otherwise I can't figure out how to go up.

Tintin said it wasn't easy, there must have been more than one person. He went up, and someone else removed the ladder, it's that simple.

I said it wouldn't be, look at the ground, it's been quite a while too, there's nothing but the footprints of a few of us, which means that this person has been on the roof for a while, or at least went up there before the dust on the ground got more dusty.

Lin Tian tilted his head towards the dark opening and asked, what we are saying now, that person can also hear it, right?

I nodded, this brick and wood house wasn't very soundproof in the first place, and what we said would definitely be heard as well. But it doesn't matter if we hear it, the purpose is to make the people in the attic more nervous than us. There was no chance that they would automatically give in, knowing there was no way out.

We put the candle in the center, sit down around the perimeter, no one is talking, all concentrate on listening to the movements in the attic.

Sitting like this I do not know how long, the attic is like dead, no reaction at all, we can not even hear his walking footsteps.

Lin Tian and I almost want to suspect that their eyes are blurred, but after all, two people at the same time to see, not the chances of blurred eyes.

I was covered in blood, and the smell was so strong that I couldn't stand it myself. I leaned against the wall and squinted for a while, but I fell asleep at once, and Lin Tian didn't quarrel with me, and only waited until dawn to wake me up.

I rubbed my eyes and looked at the time, it was already eight o'clock, the sky was already bright. But only Lin Tian was still guarding the place.

I asked him where Ding Ding was, and he said that Ding Ding couldn't resist, so he let him go down to sleep after guarding for a while.

I saw Lin Tian's dark circles under his eyes, and it seemed that he was the only one who had been guarding the place all night. I said I'm here to watch, you first go to wash up, by the way, call Ding Ding up, we will go up together.

Lin Tian nodded and didn't say anything, he just stretched and headed downstairs.

I looked at my clothes, the blood stains on them had dried and they were stiff to wear. The smell was something I guess I was used to and no longer felt nauseous.

It was light enough that the room could be seen clearly. I looked up at the mouth of the attic, and I could vaguely see the box where my grandfather used to put his groceries. Inevitably, there are some sightings, remembering that I saw my grandfather's face last night, and I guess that after my grandfather died, his soul was also sucked up by the human face tree in the yard. This tree is to feel that can not be left, also regardless of whether it itself is a certain ancestor of mine.

I was thinking out of my mind when I suddenly heard a loud noise coming from above my head, as if someone was moving something in the attic.

I was startled, and I was busy yelling downstairs.

Lin Tian and Ding Ding quickly ran up, but the commotion immediately stopped, as if it had never happened.

Lin Tian asked me what happened.

I lowered my voice and said that the people in the attic had moved!

Both of them looked aghast, and Lin Tian ran over to get the ladder. Ding Ding and I copied the guys in our hands and prepared to go up to the attic.

Once the ladder was set up, I took the first step, but Lin Tian suddenly pulled me, whispered that on your body, others will give you a kick down, get out of the way!

Said, did not wait for me to object, took the stick in my hand, and walked towards the top. I was afraid that he had an accident, also busy following him.

This climb only to find that the ladder has not been used for a long time, the dust on it is many times more than on the ground, and there are even cobwebs, every step on a foot, are creaking, as if at any time will fall apart.

Ding Ding was busy stabilizing himself at the bottom, I looked up at Lin Tian in front of me, and saw that he was grasping the ladder with one hand, and holding the wooden stick tightly with the other. Extremely careful probe to look in.

But as he took a look, his entire body suddenly froze.

I thought something happened, busy tugging on his pants leg, and asked in a low voice what he saw.

Lin Tian looked back only after a long time, gave me a worried look and said that there was no one upstairs.

I heard is also strange, busy look at Ding Ding, he than I am still wondering, said should not ah, this building can not have ghosts, is that person really jumped and ran away?

I said no, jump from here more or less have to break a leg, there is no way we do not know.

I looked at Lin Tian again, and found that his face was very strange, it seems that the words are not yet finished. He hesitated for a moment before saying, there is something else up …… there, come and see for yourself.

The doubts in my heart suddenly became heavier, if there is no one up there, what else can there be besides those scraps from my grandfather s hoard?

Lin Tian climbed up to the attic after he finished speaking, and I hurriedly followed.

But when I looked in, I felt as if I had been struck by a muffled thunderbolt! I couldn't believe what I saw in front of me.

Ding Ding behind me in a hurry, screaming, said you see what, tell me ah!

I just feel a blank mind, hands and feet began to tremble, if not Lin Tian pulled me, I almost fell from the ladder.

I saw that in the middle of the attic, there was a coffin, exactly the same as the one I dreamt about every day during this break in time!

I slowly walked over to the coffin, and saw that the lid was covered extremely tightly, I didn't know if there was a corpse lying inside, or a person sleeping.

Lin Tian gave me a wink, I understood what he meant, perhaps the person who hid in the attic is now hiding in the coffin!

But at this time, I do not have the courage to lift the lid of the coffin, my mind over and over again is that dream, I am afraid to open, after I found that the person lying inside, is myself!

Ding Ding followed climbed up, saw the coffin also froze for a moment, said Tan Xi your home is too weird, right, not to mention the tree, how also like to put the coffin upstairs.

He said walked up and asked me whose coffin this is.

I shook my head and said I don t know, in my dream it was my ……

Ding Ding stayed for a moment, then glowing with realization. His face suddenly changed and said Tan Xi, the ghost omen is going to appear!

Lin Tian was not clear about this matter and casually asked, What ghost omen?

Ding Ding said, is the dream you and Tan Xi together ah, now should have all have. Only Tan Xi s mom is missing ……

I swallowed a mouthful of spit, panicked, not even knowing where to put my hands.

Ding Ding's words are right, the old mansion, Lin Tian, the coffin, except for my mom, everything in the dream has appeared ……

But the more this happened, facing this coffin in front of me, I was even more afraid to open it.

Lin Tian seems to know my worries, he reached out towards my shoulder pat, said, don't be anxious, things have to be solved one by one, this period of time, so many things happened, there is no which is not to go through.

I know he is comforting me, but after all, one or two words, can not unload the worries of my heart. But I can't always show my weak side, things come to an end, always have to face.

I took a deep breath, took the wooden stick from Lin Tian's hand, and said, it's alright, first open the coffin and take a look, maybe that person, is now hiding inside.

Lin Tian nodded, and made a wink towards Ding Ding, Ding Ding understood, and came forward, and Lin Tian stood on the left and right sides, I stood in front of the coffin, holding the wooden stick tightly, always ready.

The two men glanced at me, and when they saw that I nodded, they reached out and pulled towards the coffin lid, only to hear a boom, and the lid was lifted backward by them.

I probed and looked in, and there was no one inside at all. But even so, it was still a shock.

Inside the coffin, small red jars were densely piled up, the ghost mounds that Ding Ding had said were used to collect ghosts.

Cumulatively placed one after the other, the number was so high that there were several hundred of them!

Ding Ding was also surprised, his mouth wide open, his face wearing a look of disbelief. After looking carefully for a while, he was surprised and said, Boy, there are more ghosts than I have ever seen!

After saying that, he picked up a hand, see the jar was covered by red paper, the paper with vermilion sand painted a lot of runes.

I was in a heavy mood, did not dare to touch this thing, lying on the side of the coffin to take a good look, see every one of them is the same as the one in Ding Ding's hand, before asking him, these ghost mounds, are there ghosts in them?

Ding Ding nodded, said look at the top of the ghost suppression talisman intact, it means that there must be ghosts inside, and from the point of view of these runes, some of the ghost mounds, or very difficult to deal with the ghosts and monsters.

He casually picked up another one and waved it towards my eyes, saying for example this one, there are three runes on it, one for ordinary ghosts, two at most for severe ghosts, and the ghost trapped inside is at least at the level of a two-mouthed woman.
