Chapter 259 It’s your own fault
Huo Xingchen raised his head with difficulty, looked at those strange people, and asked puzzledly: “What are you researching?”

Gu Qingyin smiled, “Study me.”

Huo Xingchen blinked and exclaimed in sudden realization, “You are so brave.”

“Curiosity kills the cat. If you sit in a high position for too long, you will naturally lose your sense of awe.” Gu Qingyin shrugged, “It’s time to help them recall their past.”

Huo Xingchen nodded in agreement, his big round eyes filled with eagerness to try.

Huo Yunjing put him down and patted his head, “Go and play.”

Huo Xingchen turned around and ran away.

At the same time, the woman wearing a feather mask walked down from the second floor and looked at Gu Qingyin with malice along with the others.

“Where should we start?” There was irrepressible excitement in the deliberately lowered voice, as if he had already seen Gu Qingyin being pressed to the ground by them, his face full of fear and unable to resist.

“Let’s try rooster blood first. I heard it has great ability to exorcise evil spirits.” Someone in the crowd suggested excitedly, “I was afraid that bleeding too early would lose its effect, so I brought the rooster with me.”

“Is it wrong to just use rooster blood? I heard that it has to be mixed with cinnabar.”

“Well, why bother so much? Just try them one by one.”

“That’s right! Did anyone bring cinnabar?”

……

Everyone was having an enthusiastic discussion, and no one paid any attention to the wishes of the people being studied.

“They are so unscrupulous. Aren’t they afraid of making a mistake?” Gu Qingyin really didn’t understand. Listening to their increasingly inhumane methods of exorcism, she always felt that these people in front of her were scarier than ghosts.

They have no respect for human life and are not afraid of attracting ghosts. In the end, they just don’t believe in it, right? Otherwise, Gu Qingyin would really admire their courage.

These people only thought that tonight was a novel prank feast, but they didn’t know that what they were about to face would be a nightmare for the rest of their lives.

Gu Qingyin and Huo Yunjing just stood there and watched them commit suicide.

Until someone brought a rooster, drained its blood on the spot, put the blood in two jars, and then put cinnabar into one of the jars to mix it.

Seeing that the first verification method was about to be put into practice, the crowd who had been discussing enthusiastically just now suddenly became quiet for some reason.

The dead rooster, the glaring blood, the lingering bloody smell, and the strange man and woman wearing masks next to them…

This slightly weird scene made the fear hidden deep in everyone’s hearts emerge.

“It smells so bad, let’s open the doors and windows to ventilate the air,” someone in the crowd suggested.

After the words fell, no one moved for several seconds, even the man who was mixing cinnabar and rooster blood stopped and looked at everyone, not knowing whether to continue.

At this time, the woman wearing a feather mask spoke in doubt, “The doors and windows were open all the time, when did they… get closed?”

She saw it clearly. When Gu Qingyin and the others came in, the door was still open and no one closed it. Although she didn’t pay much attention to the doors and windows later, no matter which one she closed, there would be no way there would be no noise at all.

“Stop joking.” Someone said with a smile, but his voice was obviously trembling, “It’s not funny at all.”

Upstairs, the instigator Huo Xingchen and the little paper man gave a sweet smile to his parents who were watching from downstairs.

Gu Qingyin couldn’t help but chuckle.

This laugh seemed extremely strange at this moment. Almost everyone was startled and looked at Gu Qingyin, with more or less panic in their eyes.

“It must be her doing!” Someone was so angry that he shouted, “Are you done? Pour it on her! And that man, don’t let them go!” Everyone immediately came to their senses and responded.

Gu Qingyin smiled, “You won’t cry until you see the coffin.”

Huo Yunjing had an indifferent expression and snapped his fingers the moment the chicken blood was splashed.

The next second, the brightly lit villa turned pitch black, and screams of terror rang out one after another.

The fear that had just emerged grew into a towering tree and quickly filled everyone’s spiritual world.

Gu Qingyin opened her Yin-Yang eyes the moment darkness fell. Before she could make any move, she saw paper people jumping down the stairs. She picked a lucky person nearby, stood behind the person silently, and patted the person’s shoulder lightly.

The person squatting on the ground froze visibly, not daring to look back, yet not daring not to look back. After being in a stalemate for several seconds, he finally turned his head stiffly under the persistent and even patting of the paper man.

At that moment, Gu Qingyin saw that the paper man playfully turned on the flashlight in his hand and highlighted himself.

“what–!!”

The screams of fear drowned out all other sounds. Then there was a “bang” and the lucky person who was facing the paper man fainted, with the back of his head hitting the flowerpot next to him.

Gu Qingyin let out a soft “hiss”. It was so painful. She must have had a concussion.

The paper man tilted his head and turned off the flashlight.

Because of the sudden light just now, many people caught a glimpse of the paper man, and the crowd became more chaotic.

They cried and yelled that there was a ghost and ran towards the door and windows. There was only one thought in their minds: leave here, they must leave here as soon as possible!

In the chaos, many people’s masks were squeezed off, including the disoriented Lin Xiao, the woman wearing the feather mask.

Her mask was gone, her high heels fell off, and her fishtail skirt prevented her from running away, so she fell at the end of the crowd.

Became the second lucky person chosen by the paper man.

At that time, Gu Qingyin and Huo Yunjing had already bypassed the crowd and went upstairs, sitting on the stairs with Huo Xingchen to watch the show.

Lin Xiao was obviously much more panicked than the previous man. As soon as he was slapped, he screamed and collapsed to the ground, tears and snot flowing out, crying and begging for mercy.

The people in front became even more panicked when they heard the noise and rushed to the door desperately.

The people who had arrived ahead were congratulating themselves for running fast so that they could escape soon. However, when they reached the door, they found that they could not open it no matter what.

At first they thought they were too frightened and had no strength in their hands. As a result, they tried their best but couldn’t move the door at all. Only then did they realize that the door could no longer be opened!
The people in front wanted to turn back and find another way out, while the people behind were too frightened to push forward. The two groups refused to give way to each other, and as they pushed each other, they became more hostile.

I didn’t know who started the fight first, but soon the group of people at the door started fighting.

Seeing this, the paper man took a cautious step back. After all, it was made of just paper and was very fragile. A single punch could make a hole in it.

Lin Xiao, who was sitting on the ground because of excessive fear, was in trouble.

In a fight, people who were originally crowded together will naturally disperse. But when they step back, it is so dark and chaotic, who would care if there is someone behind them?

The first person who stepped on Lin Xiao tripped and fell, followed by the second and the third…

Gu Qingyin sighed, “So this is how the stampede happened.”
