Chapter 38: The Door is Locked! Things Aren’t Looking Good!
After entering the main gate, there was a decorative screen wall.
“A phoenix in flight, interesting.” President Yan walked up to the screen wall with her hands behind her back, staring at it.
She still had the mood to appreciate the design on the screen wall.
However, the middle-aged woman and the other ghost controllers were all on high alert.
Lin Feng also took a glance at the screen wall.
The wall featured a round relief sculpture of a lifelike phoenix spreading its wings, ready to fly.
A phoenix in flight!
From the outside, this courtyard appeared eerie and terrifying, but once inside, if you ignored the spooky atmosphere and didn’t think about the ghosts within, the design of the courtyard was quite exquisite.
Passing by the screen wall, they entered a spacious courtyard.
President Yan was the first to step into the courtyard.
The courtyard had rock gardens and flowing streams, giving it a bit of a garden-like feel.
“The scenery is quite nice. This ghost domain is prettier than I imagined. As expected of the Bridal Dress Ghost. You see? Everything is decorated with lanterns. Looks like she’s ready for marriage,” President Yan spoke as she admired the courtyard with an appreciative gaze.
Behind her, the middle-aged woman and the other ghost controllers didn’t share her leisure. They had already taken out their ghost tools, ready to act at any moment.
Soon, the group passed through the courtyard, through an arched gate, and into the second area.
“President, shouldn’t we check out the rooms on the side?” the middle-aged woman asked.
“No need. This courtyard has three sections. If I’m not mistaken, the Bridal Dress Ghost should be in the innermost section. We can head straight there. She’ll definitely be waiting for us,” President Yan said confidently.
The second section had an even larger courtyard, with the corridors around it connecting to smaller courtyards on either side.
President Yan walked directly towards the deepest part of the courtyard.
There, too, was an arched door leading to the innermost courtyard.
Judging by the layout of this courtyard, that courtyard should be the master’s residence.
That’s why President Yan was so certain.
Once at the arched door, President Yan took out a paper airplane, blew on it, and then tossed it in.
The red paper airplane flew through the arched door.
But just a few meters in, the airplane fell to the ground within President Yan’s line of sight.
“Something’s not right!” The calm expression on President Yan’s face vanished, replaced by a serious look.
“What is it, President?” the middle-aged woman asked.
“Hurry, try to summon your ghost spirits!” President Yan said gravely.
The middle-aged woman and the other ghost controllers immediately began summoning.
But soon enough, both the middle-aged woman and the others’ expressions changed!
Because…
They found that their connection to their ghost spirits seemed to be blocked. The spirits weren’t responding at all!
Such a situation had never happened to them before!
“President, this is bad! We can’t summon or sense our ghost spirits!” the middle-aged woman said, her face pale with fear.
“Let’s go, we need to leave!” President Yan quickly decided and turned to leave.
The middle-aged woman and the other ghost controllers hurried to follow.
“Lin Feng, why are you just standing there?” President Yan didn’t forget Lin Feng, and when she saw him still standing there, she quickly grabbed his hand and pulled him along.
Soon, the group passed through the arched door and back into the first courtyard.
Squeak~
But…
Just as they reached the first courtyard, the main gate of the courtyard slowly started to close.
“Don’t let it close!” The middle-aged woman and the ghost controllers rushed forward.
However, despite their quick actions, they were a step too late.
The gate shut just as they reached it!
“Is this deliberate?” Lin Feng thought.
He hadn’t been standing still out of shock, but because after the others said they couldn’t sense their ghost spirits, Lin Feng found that he could still sense Tongtong.
He felt he could summon her at any time!
So, Lin Feng wasn’t too anxious.
Watching the gate close at the last moment, Lin Feng felt… this was definitely the Bridal Dress Ghost’s doing!
“She must be really angry.” Lin Feng thought.
Being toyed with twice in a row, the Bridal Dress Ghost must be furious.
Of course, it’s hard to say if ghosts have emotions, but she’s definitely been provoked.
On the other side, the middle-aged woman and the ghost controllers tried their best, but they couldn’t open the door.
“Use the ghost tool!” The middle-aged woman suddenly pulled out a long nail.
The nail was incredibly sharp, looking like a coffin nail.
She stabbed the nail at the door.
Immediately…
It pierced through!
This coffin nail was definitely a powerful ghost tool!
Indeed, these veteran and powerful ghost controllers had their own tricks and trump cards!
“Stop for now!” But soon, President Yan’s voice rang out.
The middle-aged woman felt something off, and her skin prickled.
She turned her head and saw, through the two arched doors, that the door to a room in the innermost section had opened.
In that room, a red bridal gown hung.
In the gloomy and terrifying atmosphere, that red gown was particularly eye-catching.
And particularly…
Chilling!
“Things aren’t looking good, President!”
