Chapter 446 Ghost Story
On a snowy night, the sound of the wind was mixed with the barking of dogs. In the villa where Lin Shi and others were, a bright light appeared, illuminating the darkness.
"Elegant Cat, a little darker, a little darker, a little darker...Okay, keep it like this."
Meng Wan gave instructions while the elegant cat climbed high up, stretched out its tail, used the flash skill, and adjusted the brightness according to Meng Wan's instructions.
"Why do you do it so darkly? Are you afraid of wasting your elegant cat's electricity?"
Looking at the dim lights around him, Lin Shi turned around and frowned and said to Meng Wan.
"Of course not. It's just that the power outage happened, so of course we need to create some atmosphere. By making it so bright, it will be the same as when there was no power outage."
Meng Wan said with some excitement between her brows.
"I've called the person in charge here and asked. It should be the snowstorm that caused the power lines to be damaged somewhere. We have already found someone to repair it. It will be restored before tomorrow morning."
Meng Ge walked into the crowd with his cell phone and said.
"So what should we do? Just rest?"
Li Taoyao asked doubtfully. They had originally planned to watch a movie together, but now there was no electricity, so this was obviously not possible.
"No, it's only a few hours now, I won't be able to sleep."
Meng Wan quickly stopped them and said, then rolled her eyes, looked at everyone, and said sinisterly:
"In my opinion, the atmosphere we are in now is most suitable for...telling ghost stories."
As soon as she finished speaking, the whole room suddenly darkened, and the elegant cat's flashing skills disappeared.
"Hey? What's going on? Elegant Cat?"
The sudden darkness startled everyone, and Meng Wan hurriedly called out to the elegant cat who was in charge of turning on the lights.
At that moment, an orange light lit up on the table, and Lin Shi released the burning insect. At this moment, the red pointed horns on its head emitted strands of light.
"Your cat seems to be asleep."
Lin Shi turned his head to observe the elegant cat. It had its eyes tightly closed and was gradually purring.
"This guy……"
Meng Wan looked at the elegant cat and spoke with gritted teeth.
"Forget it, this is not bad now, let's tell ghost stories, who's going first?"
Meng Wan hadn't given up yet and continued to provoke everyone. They really had nothing to do, so they sat down on the sofa around the burning bug.
"There's no such thing as a ghost story. What era is this? Do you understand why we need to talk about science?"
Lin Shi supported his chin and spoke while touching the warm fur of the burning insect.
"Who said that? Let me tell you, there are actually legends about ghosts in this resort."
Meng Wan refuted in a serious tone, which seemed a bit creepy with the red light of the burning insect.
"What rumors?"
Li Taoyao looked at Meng Wan curiously and asked, while Meng Ge frowned. After hearing what Meng Wan said, she seemed to have some impression.
"Well, let's start with me. Actually, there has always been a rumor about this resort. It is said that on every night when there is a blizzard, you can hear a woman singing."
"The singing is so creepy that you can hear it clearly even in a snowstorm. It's like it's singing directly into your ear."
Meng Wan became more and more excited as she spoke, and continued to speak faster.
"And it is said that anyone who hears this song will be controlled, and their body will involuntarily walk towards the mountains in the wind and snow, and finally disappear deep in the mountains, and their whereabouts are unknown."
"It's really... such a cliché ghost story. Are you sure what you said is true? Has anyone disappeared here?"
Lin Shi narrowed his eyes and asked inquiringly.
"Well... this is indeed a bit of an artistic process, but the story about the singing is true. I heard that some construction workers heard it. Not only that, but they also seemed to hear sudden knocks on the door."
"Boom bang..."
As soon as Meng Wan finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. The sound was particularly clear, and it didn't sound like it was coming from outside the door, but more like it was coming from inside.
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet and everyone paused for a moment, except Meng Ge.
"Geng Gui, stop playing pranks."
"Cuckoo..."
As soon as Meng Ge finished speaking, the surrounding black shadows suddenly began to dance, like a demon with bared fangs and claws, and then an elf appeared from the shadows, grinning and laughing.
After such a long period of cultivation, Meng Ge's Haunter has already evolved into Gengar, and its strength has increased a lot. Gengar: "Huh..."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Gengar appear.
"There are no more ghosts, but there are a few ghost-type Pokémon here." Meng Ge commanded Gengar to sit down quietly and said to Meng Wan.
"Indeed, even if there really is a ghost, with so many elves around, it won't make any waves."
Meng Wan shrugged and said.
However, because of Meng Wan's beginning, the story will continue, but almost everyone's stories are either not scary or not true.
After all, 99% of all supernatural events related to ghosts in this world are related to Pokémon, which is not surprising at all.
"Qimeng, it's your turn. Have you ever encountered any strange things in your archaeological team?"
When it was Su Qimeng's turn, Meng Wan asked curiously. Generally speaking, the work of the archaeological team should be more likely to expose them to these rumors than them.
Meng Wan's question made Su Qimeng frown. It wasn't that she couldn't think of a story. On the contrary, after Meng Wan's reminder, she really remembered something.
"Come to think of it, there seem to be some strange things happening in recent archaeological work." Su Qimeng said, recalling.
"As you know, I have been working with my mother on the archaeological work of the newly discovered ruins in the Mojiang Secret Realm, but I have not yet entered the depths of the new ruins."
"But I heard that other archaeological teams seemed to have encountered some problems in the ruins. It is said that when they were walking, they suddenly found that one person was missing from the team."
"No one knows how this person disappeared. It seemed that he was in the team normally one second, but disappeared without a trace the next."
"But fortunately, this person will eventually be found not too far away from the team and fall into a coma."
"According to what they said, they didn't know why they were there. They were in the team and suddenly heard someone calling their name. Then they fell into a trance. When they woke up, they were already here."
Su Qimeng rubbed her fingers and said thoughtfully.
"The experts in the team generally believe that it was caused by a spirit with the ability to teleport, but the ultimate culprit has not yet been found."
Su Qimeng's words caused everyone around her to fall into a brief silence, because unlike Meng Wan, Su Qimeng had no reason to make up a story, so this matter was most likely true.
"Whoosh..."
The cold wind was still howling outside the house, and judging from the current situation, it was impossible to wait until the power supply was restored.
"Everyone should go and rest first. It's getting late. Let's wait until tomorrow morning to see the weather conditions and then decide on our next activities."
After taking a look at the time, Meng Ge suggested.
"How are the rooms allocated?" Meng Wan asked, raising her hand.
"All the rooms on the second floor are available. You can just pick one." Meng Ge responded.
"Um... well, this is a rare opportunity. How about I suggest that the four of us stay in a room, two each?"
Meng Wan looked slightly embarrassed and spoke with some stammering.
Lin Shi smiled and looked Meng Wan up and down.
"Are you scared? You are so naive and playful..."
