The terrifying heavens inside the box

"Where did this bell come from?" Qian Xiaohao asked eagerly.

Ah Feng glanced down at the bell in her son's hand, then frowned and looked at him again: "Xiao Bai found this while playing outside yesterday. What? Did you drop this?"

Qian Xiaohao shook his head. "But I know what this is."

After saying that, he turned to look at Ayou: "Perhaps we have a way to deal with that zombie."

"Zombies, zombies... there are zombies?!" Uncle Yan, who was standing next to him, was stunned when he heard this.

Only Ah Feng kept her brows furrowed as she looked at them.

She didn't see any ghosts or zombies from beginning to end, and just felt that these guys must have some kind of mental problem.

Thinking of this, Ah Feng pulled Xiao Bai aside, turning her back to them. She seemed to be comforting the child, but in reality, she was secretly dialing the police number on her phone.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle..."

Until a loud, piercing static came from the phone, Ah Feng felt a sharp pain in her teeth and quickly took the phone away from her ear.

The three people around her then realized what was happening and turned to look at her:

"Ah Feng, what are you doing?"

"We just came in to hide, there's no need to actually call the police, is there?"

Uncle Yan and Ah You quickly offered explanations, while Qian Xiaohao looked at the mother and son with a complicated expression.

In his revolving lantern, these two were also pitiful people.

Reality is better!

You don't have to endure that kind of suffering.

Ah Feng looked at the new resident who was giving her a strange look, then at Uncle Yan and Ah You: "What's the rush! I couldn't get through... How strange, even the emergency call isn't working."

Upon hearing this, Qian Xiaohao looked away from the mother and son and subconsciously reached for his phone.

No.

That means it was left in the room.

He sighed and saw Uncle Yan holding Ah You's hand, looking out through the peephole.

The two looked around for a while before coming to a conclusion:

"It seems those two female ghosts didn't chase after us?"

Upon hearing this, Ah Feng stood up, put her hands on her hips, and said, "Now, can you leave my house?"

Uncle Yan gave an awkward smile and patted the person next to him on the back. "I'm too old to be frightened. You're young, so why don't you go out and take a look first?"

"Me?" Ah You pushed up his glasses, his eyes widening. "Uncle Yan, you're so old, and you're a security guard here. Shouldn't you be out there contributing to society?"

Upon hearing this, Uncle Yan glared at him and pointed at him, saying, "Do you think I'm stupid? You think I'm going to make a contribution? You're telling me to die? Let me tell you, I haven't lived enough yet!"

The two started arguing on the spot, not caring whether there were ghosts outside or not, since neither of them wanted to go out.

Finally, Qian Xiaohao looked at Ah Feng and said, "Sorry to bother you, but please let us stay the night until dawn! Whether it's a ghost or a zombie, they will avoid yang energy and hide. We can leave then."

Seeing his sincere tone, even though Ah Feng was wary, she wasn't heartless enough to kick him out.

In reality, she knew she couldn't do it.

If you really drive them away, it might provoke them into a desperate act, so it's better to just go with the flow.

Ah Feng nodded.

The mother and son turned around and went into the bedroom, locking and blocking the door.

There were three grown men in the living room. At first, none of them dared to sleep, and none of them could sleep. They just stared intently at the bedroom door.

but……

"jingle!"

Qian Xiaohao, who was lying on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes and realized that Xiaobai, who was squatting in front of him, was still shaking the bell in his hand.

"Can I take a look?"

After glancing at the bell, Xiaobai still handed the item over.

"Xiaobai, come and eat!" Ah Feng's voice came from the kitchen. After Xiaobai ran in, she called out again:

"Have some breakfast before you go. There's nothing fancy at home, just some simple food."

At this moment, the other two people who were also sleeping on the floor yawned and sat up.

Ah-you put on his glasses, saw the bell, and asked, "You're saying this thing can fight zombies? Really?"

"Fake!" Qian Xiaohao replied irritably, before explaining, "Although I'm not a proper Taoist priest, I've at least filmed quite a few zombie movies, so I know a little bit about them."

He picked up the bell and pointed to the top of the bell handle for the other two.

"Doesn't this look like the Chinese character for 'mountain'? This symbolizes the Three Pure Ones, the highest beings in Taoism, so it's also called the Three Pure Ones Bell."

"Look at the bronze bell and those incomprehensible patterns. These are runes, incantations, and even the names of deities, all designed to increase the power of this magical artifact."

Uncle Yan and Ayou looked enlightened, but they were still somewhat skeptical.

After all, reality isn't a movie. Without seeing it with your own eyes, who would believe that a bell could suppress and drive away zombies?

Qian Xiaohao didn't offer much explanation. Ever since he failed to hang himself and saw that revolving lantern, the boundary between reality and near-death hallucinations had been blurring, making it difficult for him to distinguish which one was real.

At this moment, Ah Feng brought them three bowls of chicken soup noodles.

After everyone finished eating in the living room, Qian Xiaohao and the others were just about to leave when they heard Xiaobai shouting from the window:

"Mom, what are they doing?"

The group peered out the window and saw a thick fog outside. They could vaguely make out a group of figures downstairs, making a lot of noise.

Qian Xiaohao quickly grabbed Uncle Yan, "This is a good opportunity. We have to tell them right away that there are ghosts and zombies in this house, otherwise someone might run into them."

Ah You added, "We still need to go out and ask for help, whether it's a Taoist priest or something!"

Uncle Yan was somewhat hesitant, but he wasn't without judgment, so he nodded in agreement.

But he and Ayou clashed again over who should go out first.

Finally, Qian Xiaohao sighed, pushed open the door, and cautiously peeked out, looking around.

"Alright, there's no ghost, come out now!"

Hearing this, the two reluctantly walked out.

Seeing that Ah Fung was about to close the door, Chin Siu-ho still said, "I know you may not believe in ghosts or zombies, but it is indeed very dangerous for you to stay in the house now."

"There are so many people downstairs, you don't need to be afraid of us. Why don't you come down with us?"

After hesitating for a moment, Ah Feng went into the house and closed the door.

Just as Qian Xiaohao sighed and turned away, the door opened, and Ah Feng led Xiao Bai out.

The five people took the elevator downstairs.

At this time, visibility outside the old public housing was less than ten meters.

A large group of neighbors were arguing outside the old public housing estate.

As soon as Uncle Yan arrived, he became an instant hot commodity.

Everyone was asking him how to get out.

At this point, Qian Xiaohao and the others realized that the thick fog that had been hanging over since yesterday had trapped everyone.

People had to go to work, go to school, or buy groceries... No one could actually go out. They almost wandered around in the fog and then vaguely returned. Even if they were driving straight, they would inexplicably turn back.

"This fog? Could it be some kind of ghost wall?!"

Suddenly someone in the crowd said.

Some people scorned it, some were afraid, and some even clasped their hands together in prayer...

"See! I told you I encountered something dirty last night, but you wouldn't believe me!"

"What? You encountered a ghost too?"

"Goodness! Looks like quite a few people encountered strange things last night?"

"I bumped into him in the hallway, and I was so scared I didn't go home all night!"

"You guys are lucky! I encountered four ghosts! And they were quite tall! They were all carrying umbrellas. It looked strange, so I just peeked at them from a distance around the corner of the stairwell on the 14th floor, and it scared me to death!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Xiaohao was immediately terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.

This person is really bold! He even dared to glance at the underworld messengers passing by.

It seems the underworld officials were quite busy last night; I wonder if the twin female ghosts were captured.

Since the others were unaware of the existence of ghost messengers, they assumed the building was filled with ghosts. Therefore, when Uncle Yan naturally pushed out Qian Xiaohao and Ayou, the two who volunteered to "catch ghosts" and "catch corpses," no one objected at all.

No one will compete with them.

Although I can't go home for the time being, it's better than encountering danger and losing my life.

Ah You, on the other hand, looked completely unwilling.

It was Qian Xiaohao who told the other party about the underworld messengers, saying that there weren't that many ghosts, and now all that was left was catching zombies.

He then took out the Three Pure Bells and, after much persuasion, finally promised Ah You that if he really encountered danger, he could just run away. Only then did Ah You reluctantly agree to come and help.

……

Outside the box, Wang Hao watched as Uncle Yan and Ah Feng helped calm the crowd, while Qian Xiaohao and Ah You cautiously returned to the old public housing.

He then looked into the fog at the residents being blocked by Freddy, as well as the police and others trying to get in from the outside.

We've collected enough fear now.

Wang Hao stretched behind his worktable.

"Oh dear! It's time to finish the last scene!"
