I can see hell in my left eye

Chapter 288 The Evil 2
Shang Liqi untied the red rope, pointed the mouth of the cloth pouch at the hanged ghost, and chanted some mantra in the pouch, and finally heard the word "receive", and the hanged ghost turned into a cloud of smoke and floated into the pouch.

Then Shang Liqi immediately tied the mouth of the cloth bag firmly with a red string.

Just after doing this, the lights in the room 'cracked', and the next second, the surroundings were plunged into darkness.

"Is it a power outage?" In the darkness, Li Xinru's trembling voice sounded.

After the voice fell, a beam of light suddenly appeared, which was the light from the flashlight in Shang Liqi's hand.

He flipped through the bag, and there were two miniature flashlights. He handed the flashlights to Meng Tian and me, and turned to Butler Zhang and said, "Is there any candle?"

Butler Zhang nodded, with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "However, the candles are placed in the cabinet in the kitchen on the first floor."

Shang Liqi didn't think much, and said to me: "Sixi, you and Steward Zhang go to the first floor to get candles."

"it is good."

I turned on the flashlight, opened the door and walked out. Butler Zhang followed closely behind. I could clearly hear his footsteps and heavy breathing.

The whole villa fell into darkness and dead silence.

When passing through the long and quiet corridor, my heart was up and down, uneasy.

The house is too gloomy, and Yin Qi is constantly coming from all directions. I shrank my neck and deliberately talked to Butler Zhang behind me: "Butler Zhang, in which cabinet are the candles placed?"

"Second to last from the upper right."

"You remember it so clearly?"

"Of course, I know everything here very well." Butler Zhang's voice trembled a little, but after chatting with him a few words, the uneasiness and fear in his heart eased a little.

When I reached the corner of the stairs, I asked Steward Zhang to go ahead, and I stayed behind so that I could use a flashlight to show him the way.

He complied, and walked slowly ahead, step by step down the steps.

Arriving safely on the first floor, he walked towards the kitchen with ease, and I followed him, my nerves extremely tense.

In the darkness, there seemed to be countless pairs of eyes staring at us, which felt creepy and sent chills down the spine.

I try to keep myself from thinking too much.

Entering the kitchen, Butler Zhang quickly found candles and a lighter.

After lighting a candle in the dining room and kitchen on the first floor, Butler Zhang lit a few more candles in the living room. The first floor was much brighter, but gusts of wind blew the candle flames from time to time, and the already weak flame seemed to be extinguished at any time.

Steward Zhang looked at me and said, "I need to light candles on the third and second floors, so that it may be more convenient for you to move around, at least you don't have to touch the dark."

Butler Zhang was very considerate and volunteered to go to the third floor. Originally, I didn't want to go to the third floor, but because he thought about us so much, I decided to go with him.

When passing the second floor, Butler Zhang lit a candle in the corner of the second floor and continued to walk to the third floor.

I followed him, and the beam of the flashlight reached the third floor, and it immediately seemed too thin in the invisible environment. Fortunately, Butler Zhang moved fast enough, and lit several candles in the corridor on the third floor in two or three strokes. Basically, a candle was fixed at a certain distance.

Although the light was weak, it was not a little bit better than when it was pitch black.

Perhaps it is due to the inertia of human beings, when there is light around, the inner fear will naturally decrease a little.

"Okay, let's go back to the second floor. Light a few candles in the corridor on the second floor, so I can go back and watch over the young lady and the young master." Butler Zhang smiled at me.

A fine layer of sweat appeared on his forehead at some point, and his lips trembled a little.

I nodded and saw him light a candle casually and beckon me to lead the way in a very gentlemanly manner. I smiled and walked ahead without thinking much.

Before reaching the stairs, a burning smell rushed into the nostrils, and the smell seemed to come from behind.

Suddenly, I felt a little heat on my back. I panicked and turned around suddenly. I was shocked to find that the end of the ponytail hanging behind my head was already burning.

I panicked in an instant, and I grabbed my ponytail and slammed it on the wall frantically. Fortunately, the braid hadn't burned completely, and I beat it several times, and the fire went out.

Looking at Butler Zhang in shock, at this moment he was standing in the same place, only two or three steps away from me, holding a burning candle in his hands, the candle light flickered on and off, reflecting his old face in a weird way.

Suddenly, the corners of his lips curled up, revealing a sinister smile, and his eyes narrowed slightly with that smile, followed by a hehehe laughter from deep in his throat.

My scalp went numb, and I subconsciously took two steps back, my back slammed against the wall, and there was no way out.

"Butler Zhang?" I called him.

He still kept that weird smile, and there was a hint of danger in his bright eyes.

If my guess is correct, Steward Zhang burned my hair with a candle just now, but why did he do that?Could it be that he was possessed by a ghost?
Other than that, there seems to be no better explanation.

"A group of rabble, dare to disturb us!" Butler Zhang opened and closed his lips, and what came out was not his own voice, but a deep and hoarse female voice.

I swallowed, and reached out to touch the ghost-suppressing charm in my pocket. Butler Zhang strode towards me, threw away the candle in his hand, and tried to strangle me.

I squatted down quickly, and he missed it.

The backhand put the ghost-suppressing talisman on him, his body froze, and then shivered violently, a black shadow was bounced out of his body, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Steward Zhang shook his head vigorously, leaning on the wall with one hand, and looked at me dumbfounded.

After calming down for a few seconds, he murmured, "What happened?"

"Nothing, let's go back to the second floor."

He nodded in astonishment, looked at the extinguished candle on the floor, picked it up again and lit it, and he motioned for me to go ahead.

However, I was almost burned to death by his tricks from behind, how dare I let him walk behind me.

Although he made such a dangerous move after being possessed by a ghost, there is no guarantee that he will be possessed by a ghost again, so...

"You go ahead." I made a 'please' gesture.

He froze for a moment, didn't say much, and strode forward.

Going down the stairs, lighting a few candles in the corridor on the second floor, we finally returned to Li Xinrui's room.

Li Xinru and Li Ziying sat by the bed and guarded Li Xinrui, Li Xinrui slept soundly.

Butler Zhang lit two candles in the room, and the room became much brighter in an instant.

Shang Liqi greeted him first, and asked, "Are you all right?"

I shook my head.

However, half of the long ponytail was burned off, and there was still a burnt smell left on him.

Meng Tian leaned over and sniffed at me, frowned, and exclaimed, "What's the smell on you?"

I pulled up the ponytail and showed her: "That's the smell."

"Your hair was burned?"

"Tricked by a ghost."

　The remaining three updates will be released together around nine o'clock in the evening.
