Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

Chapter 445: Close the door, people are more terrifying than ghosts

The moment the sound of the door lock next door was heard, Professor Zhang's face was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing thousands of waves.

He first opened his mouth to exclaim.

He immediately raised his hands and covered his mouth tightly, suppressing the scream that was about to come out.

Then his eyes widened like copper bells, staring at the door with an extremely frightened look, and his body began to tremble violently and uncontrollably, shaking like a sieve.

He was completely plunged into extreme fear.

Swish.

The sound of feet pushing against the ground was heard.

It was the old man with gray hair.

He pressed his feet hard against the ground and tried to shrink his body into the corner of the cage.

He was so strong that it looked as if he wanted to kick his body through the cage and hide in the wall.

Their reactions made me nervous.

Whatever is coming out of the next room is definitely not a good thing!

Hopefully there's still time to hide inside!

I hurried into the house, grabbing Han Bin's arm with my left hand and pulling him inside.

Because of the sudden movement, Han Bin was caught off guard and stumbled and fell in, unable to help but shouting: "Ouch..."

Seeing that he was about to fall to the ground, I quickly caught him.

I covered his mouth and pulled him to the wall to make room for the door.

Uncle Zheng followed him into the house.

And use your heel to push the door open when entering.

crunch.

The door turned with a jarring sound.

Snapped.

The protruding lock tongue gently hit the lock frame, causing the door to not be completely closed, but only slightly ajar.

When I saw that the door was not closed, I immediately became anxious.

Just as he was about to reach out to push the door, Uncle Zheng stuck his butt out and bumped into the back of the door.

Bang!

The door closed with a crisp sound.

call!

We both let out a long breath at the same time, and our tense hearts relaxed temporarily.

Fortunately, Uncle Zheng and I reacted quickly and had a tacit understanding.

If it were Ma Dong and the others, the situation would probably be a mess by now.

When I thought of them, my eyes suddenly lit up.

They should still be guarding the gate.

As soon as the things from the next room come out, you can see them.

Isn't this the equivalent of a tiger encountering its prey right after leaving its den?

If nothing unexpected happens, they should be able to hold us back for a while...

Uncle Zheng took two deep breaths and said softly, "Ma Dong and the others should be able to protect us from the disaster."

I didn’t expect that Uncle Zheng had the same idea as me.

At this critical moment, everyone regarded Ma Dong and the others as fellow Taoists who could ward off disasters.

It’s not that we are unkind.

It's human nature.

In critical moments, most people's first reaction is to protect themselves.

Besides, we don't have much friendship with Ma Dong and the others, so there's no need to remind them just for the sake of friendship...

"Let me see what's going on outside."

After saying this, Uncle Zheng turned around gently, squinted one eye and looked out through the crack of the door.

I don't know if the door was in disrepair or was simply poorly made, but there was a gap of more than half a centimeter on the hinge side.

Lying on the crack of the door, I can just see what's going on outside.

Han Bin squatted against the wall and went over to look out through the crack in the door.

As he watched, he muttered, "There's nothing ghost about this."

"Ma Dong and the others are all fine."

"Isn't that ghost just playing with the door lock?"

I kicked Han Bin lightly and raised my finger to make a silence gesture.

He immediately closed his lips and stopped making any sound.

I gestured to Uncle Zheng Er to keep an eye on the outside, and then walked to the iron cage.

The gray-haired old man was still shivering in the corner of the cage.

The frightened expression on Professor Zhang's face eased a lot, and his body stopped shaking.

He opened his eyes wide and stared at me for three seconds.

As if to confirm who I am.

Gradually, Professor Zhang's face showed some excitement.

He suddenly jumped forward, pressed his face against the cage wall and looked at me.

He trembled and said, "Stone!"

"Is that you?"

Looking at Professor Zhang's face full of anticipation and excitement, I suddenly felt dazed.

Even Professor Zhang's face in the sight became blurred.

At that moment, I felt that the blurry face in my sight seemed a little different from Professor Zhang in my memory.

But I can’t tell exactly what the difference is.

I closed my eyes and shook my head vigorously.

After clearing his mind, he opened his eyes and looked carefully at Professor Zhang in front of him.

The face, the eyes, the nose and mouth were exactly the same as I remembered.

This is simply not something that other people can pretend.

But at this moment, Professor Zhang's face was full of fatigue and haggardness.

Perhaps it was the fatigue and haggardness that eroded his former temperament that made me feel that he was different from what I remembered.

Well, that must be the case.

I squatted down as I thought about it, and my gaze changed from looking down at Professor Zhang to looking at him straight on.

Professor Zhang's lips trembled with excitement as he murmured, "Shi Tou, it's really you!"

"It's really you who came!"

His trembling fingers stretched out from the gap in the iron cage, trying to touch my cheek.

But the fingertips stopped not far from my cheek.

The gap in the cage trapped his wrist, preventing him from moving his hand forward.

Professor Zhang looked at me with burning eyes.

There was a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

He seemed to be unable to touch my cheek, which made him very anxious.

"Closer, closer to me."

His urging made me frown slightly.

As far as I can remember, Professor Zhang never touched my face.

The most intimate gesture he made towards me was just a gentle touch on my head.

Why is he so obsessed with touching my cheek now?

I was confused.

Instead of moving closer, he actually took half a step back.

"Where is Sister Zhang Nan?" I asked the question I wanted to know most.

Professor Zhang's expression froze.

He frowned and muttered softly, "Zhang Nan? Such a familiar name."

"Is he one of my former students?"

"But I really can't remember."

"Who is this Zhang Nan you're talking about?"

I was stunned.

Professor Zhang couldn't even remember who Zhang Nan was?!

What exactly happened to him?

And Zhang Nan, how is she doing now?

I was anxious.

He grabbed Professor Zhang's hand that was sticking out of the cage and shook it: "Zhang Nan is your daughter!"

"Your daughter!"

Professor Zhang shook his head firmly.

He said firmly: "I have never even been married, how could I have a daughter?"

I burst out laughing.

It’s over, Professor Zhang really doesn’t remember Zhang Nan!

Could it be that someone has affected his memory?

I immediately thought of Huang Ziran.

Huang Ziran can hypnotize!

On the way here, he hypnotized me and brought me into a strange dream!

If he used hypnosis on Professor Zhang, it might affect Professor Zhang's memory!

and many more!

I was hypnotized by Huang Ziran...will my memory be affected as well?

The feeling of extreme terror instantly enveloped me.

Don't even want to think about it anymore.

Gum!

I swallowed hard, trying to calm myself down.

He asked tentatively, "Professor Zhang, do you remember being hospitalized not long ago?"

Professor Zhang shook his head in confusion.

"I've always been in good health, why would I be hospitalized?"

He doesn't even remember being in the hospital. It seems there's something wrong with his memory.

I continued to ask: "Then why did you come to this village?"

Professor Zhang pointed at the old man huddled in the corner of the cage and said, "He came with Old Yu."

"Old Yu said his family's heirlooms are related to the Fish Kingdom, so I came with him to take a look."

"Who knew something evil would happen as soon as I arrived in the village."

"The ignorant villagers thought that Old Yu and I were the ones who brought the evil spirits, so they locked us in cages."

"They also said they would use us as sacrifices to evil spirits to eliminate disasters."

"It's absolutely stupid!"

Professor Zhang's righteousness when he said the villagers were extremely ignorant was completely different from his fearful and terrified look just now.

I asked in confusion, "What did you mean by there being a ghost next door?"

The moment Professor Zhang mentioned that there was a ghost next door, his body began to shake uncontrollably.

Fear crept onto his face again.

He shrank back, staring at the door and said, "What I was just about to say was a ghost."

"In this world, humans are scarier than ghosts!"

"And that ghost thing next door..."

Jie Jie Jie!

A sinister and strange laugh came in through the door.

Professor Zhang was so frightened that his face turned pale: "Here, here I come."

"He's coming in!"

"Hurry up and block the door!"
