Chapter 208 Hiding Under the Bed
The next room’s door slowly opened. When Zachary looked at that door, he was petrified on the spot.
Lilly gave him a quick glance. All of a sudden, she found this to be very fascinating.
Josh got goosebumps and reacted quickly when he was scared. He would scream and run away. Zac, on the other hand, simply stood still when he came across anything eerie, as if he had turned into a statue.
Lilly covered her mouth and laughed at him. In jest, she said, “Zac, if ghosts could eat people, you’d definitely be the first one caten.”
Zachary was not bothered to answer, Moments later, Lilly leaped in front of Zachary and yelled, “Roar!”
She bit him in the arm after that. Zachary was horrified and had goosebumps all over. He hissed, “What are you doing!”
Zachary was speechless, as Lilly’s saliva was all over his arm.
Lilly turned to look at the corridor crowded with shadow ghosts. They were startled by her roar, and all of them fled to safety. She chuckled and said, “Don’t be afraid, Zac. My saliva can ward off evil spirits!”
“Get lost!” Zachary rolled his eyes.
Lilly immediately responded, “Okay! I’m coming! Suicidal spirit!”
She cheerfully charged into the room with her ritual blade in hand.
Zachary was astonished. Did she just run into the room? What an unreliable sister!
Zachary sulked. He looked at the door and decided not to enter. I’m not entering that place. I would never go there.
Zachary was thinking about this when he heard an eerie voice that said, “You’re here.”
Zachary’s pupils contracted. His reflexes finally caught up. Finally, his reflexes caught up. He immediately took off after screaming, “Lilly!”
He dashed into the neighboring room.
The apartment next door had two bedrooms and one living room. The unit’s layout was compact. There was a typical gray cotton–linen sofa in it, facing the kitchen and bathroom. There was no TV in the living
room.
There were two rooms next to the living room, one with the door shut tightly and the other with the door wide open and facing the entrance. Right upon entering, one could see the room’s red–themed decorations.
The bed linens, quilt, and pillows were all red. There was a “Just Married” sticker on the dressing table’s mirror. Nearly extinguished scented candles were positioned next to the mirror. At the foot of the bed was a pair of red high heels,
Zachary thought he could still hear the eerie voice when the wind blew. He feared turning around as goosebumps began to appear all over his body and his scalp began to tingle.
Lilly where are you! Zachary called out quietly.

Behind him, a small head appeared out of nowhere. Lilly said, “I’m here!”

Zachary was taken aback. He froze and asked angrily, “Why did you appear out of nowhere and not make any noise?”
Lilly reacted as if she had done something wrong. She stated matter–of–factly, “When I tapped on your shoulder the last time, you were also angry with me.”
When I abruptly called him, he was startled. He was horrified when I abruptly touched his shoulder. He was still mad at me when I popped my head up. It’s so difficult to get along with him, eh?
“Where did you go?” he questioned.
Lilly pointed at the kitchen and explained, “I went to the kitchen and found two red eggs.”
She spread her hands open, revealing a red egg in each. The red egg was a necessity at rural wedding banquets.
Zachary immediately pushed her hands away and warned her, “Keep them away!”
Lilly looked around and placed the eggs on the coffee table.
Swoosh… Suddenly, a red shadow wandered past the door.
Zachary was momentarily stunned. He asked, “Lilly, did you…did you just see that?”
“Yes, I saw the bride in the wedding gown,” Lilly acknowledged with a nod.
She carefully looked around. Mrs. Ghost had mentioned earlier that this room was home to the first dark spirits, but she did not see them when she entered. It was as if both spirits had gone out to visit their friends.
Zachary grew anxious because they were unable to see any of the ghosts. He said, “Let’s head back to our room. We can come back tomorrow at noon.”
The sound of footsteps resonating down the hallway cut him off before he could finish. It was getting closer and closer to the apartment. Clearly, it was heading their way.
Lilly grabbed Zachary’s hand and ran into the house, saying, “Quick, hide!”
Zachary exclaimed, “What in the world?”
He watched as Lilly yanked him into the room full of wedding decorations. Every coin Zachary’s body protested against this. He suggested, “Let’s hide in another room.”
Lilly whispered, “There’s no time!”
Zachary was panicked. Lilly pulled him under the bed and pasted a talisman in front of them.
Under the bed, Zachary was astounded to discover where they were. Why must we seek refuge under that female spirit’s bed out of all possible hiding places?
Zachary’s hair stood on end. He was about to crawl out when a pair of red shoes suddenly appeared in front of him. The shoes approached him closer and closer. A raspy voice that resembled Donald Duck was heard, “Hey, where are you hiding?”

Zachary widened his eyes! It was eerie because the person wearing the red shoes stood on tiptoe and swung back and forth in front of him.
The owner of these shoes was tiptoeing, when one would normally walk with their soles flat on the ground.
The shoes abruptly came to a halt in front of Zachary. He noticed the hair hanging down as if someone were leaning over the edge of the bed to look down below.
Zachary froze on the spot and was unable to breathe. More hairs were dangling on the ground. He was aware that the head was getting closer and closer to him.
Zachary stiffly turned his eyes and looked at Lilly for help.
Much to his surprise, Lilly was counting money! She was, in fact, counting money, but it was money in the form of ritual papers.
Zachary was almost in tears.
She’s still counting money while we’re stuck in such a dire situation. Just burn the entire stack of ritual papers; what is there to count?
The bed creaked. The ground was covered in a mound of hair that was hanging down. The top of the head of that ghost was visible to him.
Zachary stopped breathing.
How did this head hang down? Normally, I should be able to see half an ear or half a face, not the top of the head.
Zachary was terrified. He was screaming inside. Lilly, save me! Save me!
It seemed as though Lilly had heard his mute scream. She lifted her head and said, “Don’t worry, he can’t see us.”
Zachary attempted to quickly cover Lilly’s mouth out of fear. Lilly said again, “Don’t worry, he can’t hear us either!”
Zachary was stunned.
Bullshit! I don’t trust you! Didn’t you notice the ghost by the bed, hesitate for a moment, then continue to lean over?
The ghost abruptly stood up straight and sat on the edge of the bed, just as Zachary believed they were about to be seen by it.
Just as Zachary breathed a sigh of relief. He heard the sound of frantic footsteps coming from outside the door. This time, the ghost was wearing pink slippers. She spoke in fear as she entered the room, saying, “I’m sorry, I got delayed on the way…”
The ghost sitting on the bed had a hoarse and unpleasant voice. He scolded the other person menacingly, “I sent you to buy something; why did you dawdle for so long? You were gone half the night. Tell me, did you take my money and go somewhere else to have fun?”
The girl in the pink slippers almost burst into tears, and she said, “I didn’t…”
She was met with a hard slap. The girl in the pink slippers was sent flying backward. She rolled to the edge of the bed and fell right in front of Zachary..
