293: Chapter 293 The Night Parade of One Hundred Demons
On the television screen, Sadako crawled out of the well.
With every flicker of the screen, she inched closer and closer to the camera.
In the end, those bruised, purple hands slowly reached out from beyond the TV screen and pressed onto the TV stand.
"Ah——"
Zhang Xiaofu let out a sharp, ear-piercing shriek.
Unable to handle the sight before him, he immediately jumped up from the sofa and bolted toward the Restroom.
"Uh, why are you running around?"
Lin Xiao silently offered a moment of silence for Zhang Xiaofu in his heart.
Based on his understanding of the system, it wouldn't go to such great lengths just to conjure up a single ghost.
In any house, the place with the heaviest yin energy is the Restroom.
Zhang Xiaofu was likely going to be in trouble.
Sure enough, before long, noises came from the direction of the bathroom.
Listening closely, it was the sound of gurgling water.
Zhang Xiaofu quickly rushed back out, clutching his hair and wailing in a breakdown, "Blood, there's blood!"
Lin Xiao went forward to investigate.
He saw a bathtub placed in the innermost bathroom of the Restroom, with thick, crimson liquid gurgling out from the drain, accompanied by a stench of blood.
Interesting!
"Lin Xiao, look over there quickly!"
Yang Yong pointed at the toilet nearby.
Just like the bathtub, the toilet was also oozing blood.
At this moment, they heard a series of strange sounds coming from the stairs outside.
"Ka ka, ka ka ka..."
Qian Ling listened for a while and guessed stiffly, "This, this wouldn't be Kayako, would it?"
"It might be."
Yang Yong also started breaking out in a cold sweat.
Both of them were members of the Paranormal Club; they were very familiar with various horror movies in their daily lives and had also read quite a few news reports about paranormal events.
Normally, their courage was much greater than others.
They also firmly believed that ghosts existed in this world.
So, even if they really saw a ghost, they wouldn't be scared enough to lose their composure.
But as the number of ghosts here increased, and they were all famous vengeful spirits, they still felt somewhat panicked.
"Dong, dong dong."
From the hallway came the sound of something knocking on the window.
The group turned to look and saw a severely decayed face appearing outside the window.
Below that face was a set of tattered Qing Dynasty attire.
"Z-zombie?"
Yang Yong was surprised, "How did even a zombie get here? They aren't even from the same world!"
"There might be more..."
Qian Ling looked toward the living room, her face turning pale.
She saw that, at some unknown point, a pair of white soul-summoning banners had appeared in the living room.
A ghost bride in a red wedding dress and a water ghost wearing a bamboo hat and dripping wet were standing beneath the soul-summoning banners, their faces full of sinister smiles.
"A collision of red and white evil spirits?"
Yang Yong swallowed, a cold sweat breaking out on his back.
He had originally thought about rushing out of the living room while these ghosts were moving slowly.
But now, the escape route was blocked too!
Soon, knocking sounds also came from other windows.
There was more than one zombie!
Watching this horrifying scene, Lin Xiao couldn't help but wonder how much the system had paid to bring so many ghosts from different worlds.
Zhang Xiaofu was already frozen with fear, unable to even scream.
"L-Lin Xiao, what should we do now?"
Yang Yong didn't think the little tricks he'd learned from TV could really deal with so many ghosts.
"What are you panicking for?"
Lin Xiao snorted and strode toward the living room.
He didn't believe that these ghosts, brought here from various worlds by the system, would actually dare to harm them.
If he guessed correctly, these ghosts were at most just trying to scare them.
If anything really happened, the system would definitely be punished.
Sure enough, until he walked up to the red and white evil spirits, the two ghosts didn't make any other moves.
They just kept striking poses on the spot.
Seeing this, the others also gathered their courage and walked over.
But just as they got close, a miserable scream came from the side.
They immediately turned to look and saw Sadako lying on the ground, her long hair disheveled.
One side of her hair was being stepped on by a zombie that had just broken through the window.
The scream from just a moment ago had come from Sadako.
"Gibberish, gibberish!"
A hoarse sound came from Sadako's throat.
Although it was incomprehensible, they could still feel her anger.
The zombie paused, its stiff body hopped to the side, releasing Sadako's hair, but then it stepped on her white dress instead.
With a "rip" sound, the dress was torn open.
"S-sorry."
The zombie opened its mouth, its voice equally unpleasant.
"Gibberish!"
"I, didn't, mean, to."
"Gibberish! Gibberish!"
"I, said, I, didn't, mean, to."
"..."
Under the astonished gazes of everyone, these two ghosts actually started arguing!
And they were using different languages!
Perhaps because she couldn't understand, Sadako got angrier the more she spoke, stood up, and shoved the zombie.
The zombie already had poor balance and couldn't keep its footing, so it was pushed directly to the ground.
Because its body was too stiff, it couldn't get up for a long time.
In the end, another zombie passing by helped it up, and it barely managed to stand.
Sadako's behavior made the zombie very angry.
The zombie hopped closer and grabbed Sadako by the neck.
Sadako was also annoyed, and her hair wrapped around the zombie's arm.
The two ghosts started grappling like this.
The other ghosts heard the commotion and rushed over one after another.
"Gibberish!"
"Don't, don't fight."
"Gibberish!"
"Stop it!"
"..."
Some ghosts gibbered at Sadako in incomprehensible Japanese, while others said "You guys, stop fighting" to the zombie in Chinese.
However, there were still some that couldn't really speak.
For example, Kayako, who had just managed to crawl down the stairs, kept going "ka ka ka."
And a pool of blood kept going "gurgle, gurgle, gurgle."
From their expressions and tones, it could be roughly inferred that they were trying to break up the fight.
The group stood to the side, completely dumbfounded.
"Uh, what is going on here?"
Yang Yong found it hard to believe his own eyes.
In his view, ghosts should be terrifying things.
But now these ghosts seemed like they were here to be funny.
Lin Xiao couldn't help but chuckle and grumbled in his mind, "System, I told you to find some ghosts to scare people, not to find them to perform skits."
[...]
The system didn't make a sound for a long time.
It must have been too embarrassed to show its face and started playing dead.
Zhang Xiaofu finally recovered from his fear and asked stutteringly, "Why are these ghosts so abstract? They wouldn't be people in costumes, would they?"
Just as he finished speaking, knocking sounds came from outside the main door.
Accompanied by the sound of a woman crying and a child crying!
This...
Why are there more?
