Chapter 381 A Hanged Man Suddenly Appears in the Funeral Hall

I saw both of them nodding their heads, as if they were already beginning to feel sleepy.

Li Yue quickly called them a few times, asking them not to fall asleep.

The two were called.

My brain suddenly jolted and the sleepiness gradually faded away.

They saw that the candle was almost burned out, so they quickly added new candles.

"I was so scared. Luckily you woke us up."

"Strange, I can usually stay up late, why am I so sleepy today?"

Both newcomers were a little scared.

Li Yue observed their expressions and found that they were not that sleepy, so she felt relieved. "Wake up, there are still two hours left."

They are keeping vigil in the mourning hall.

Little did they know that after walking around the entire town, Shen Yu came to the outside of the mourning hall and was quietly looking inside.

"There's nothing unusual. Could it be that the key point is in this mourning hall?"

Shen Yu had been to the mourning hall once before, but found nothing unusual. He couldn't stay in the mourning hall forever, so he quickly left to look for clues elsewhere.

Although the senior people handed over the task of keeping vigil to the newcomers, they did not just walk away.

Instead, they scattered around the small town, trying to uncover its secrets.

They went through several copies.

Know that it is difficult to successfully pass the dungeon by just sitting there and waiting for death.

Sometimes, doing nothing may result in them being unable to escape when danger comes.

Of course, the process of searching for clues is also very dangerous, and the danger is unknown. This kind of work naturally cannot be handed over to newcomers. Only veterans like them are confident in doing these things.

Therefore, the task of keeping vigil assigned to the newlyweds is still a consideration for them.

Xiao Lai took advantage of the fact that most people in the town had gone to the family where the funeral was being held and sneaked into the town's ancestral hall.

Outsiders are generally not allowed to enter here.

"Lijia Village."

Most of the tablets in the ancestral hall are surnamed Li, and those with other surnames are almost all people who married into the family.

The tablet of the deceased old man has not been placed in the ancestral hall, so there is no tablet for him here.

Xiao Lai searched in the dark but found no clues.

"It doesn't look like this is the place."

Xiao Lai was about to go out. When he stepped over the threshold of the ancestral hall, a black cat suddenly ran under his feet, and then a shrill cat cry was heard.

In this dark environment, it sounded a bit like a child crying.

"Depend on!"

Even a veteran like Xiao Lai couldn't help but shudder.

A vague sense of foreboding made him feel uneasy.

I feel like something will happen to the newbies, but it's just a vigil mission. Although it might be a little dangerous, for this kind of supernatural copy, as long as you follow the rules and don't violate them, there will generally be no big problems.

Before the newlyweds stood guard, several senior people told them not to violate the rules of the wake.

For example, the incense and candles must not be extinguished, the fire must not be extinguished, paper money must be burned, etc.

Apart from these things, there are no other problems.

As long as those new guys don't mess it up, something that even teenagers wouldn't mess up.

Well, it’s still too early to speak.

A scream completely broke the silence of the mourning hall.

All the senior people who heard the scream rushed to the mourning hall as fast as they could.

Xiao Lai is the closest.

He was also the fastest to arrive.

As soon as he stepped into the mourning hall, he smelled a strong smell of blood.

"what happened?"

When he looked up, he saw a corpse hanging from the beam. The blood oozing from the mouth and nose had soaked the entire body, and a lot of blood was dripping down the legs onto the floor.

The fishy smell he smelled came from this corpse.

He stepped forward and carefully examined the corpse's face in the dim candlelight.

The face of the corpse was distorted by pain and fear, but he could still tell that this corpse was not one of the newcomers.

Li Yue fell from the small stool to the ground.

She was so close to the body that the body's hanging toes were almost touching her back.

The wind blew in, shaking the corpse, and the toes touched her back. When she turned around, she saw a corpse with a hideous face. The scream was naturally made by her.

The other two newcomers' sleepiness was completely broken by this incident.

They came over and dragged Li Yue, who was lying limp on the ground and unable to get up, to the other side.

"What's going on?" Xiao looked around and asked again.

The young man who had just graduated was also not sure: "I don't know either. We were guarding the sacrificial basin to the right of the coffin when we suddenly heard her scream."

Not to mention falling asleep, they were almost scared to death.

"I... I..." Li Yue had not yet recovered from the shock of seeing a corpse when she turned around.

After a long while, she calmed down and said, "I don't know either. I was burning paper money just now when a gust of wind came from behind me. I felt something hit my back a few times, so I turned around and saw someone hanging behind me."

Hearing her description, the two newcomers and Xiao Lai all gasped.

Anyone would be scared by this.

Not to mention, they all feel a little creepy now.

The three newcomers present had no idea when the body appeared.

The two newlyweds guarding the sacrificial basin said, "We were very sleepy and almost dozing off when Li Yue woke us up. We looked over at her, and the body wasn't there. I remember it was around twelve o'clock, wasn't it?"

The other three seniors also rushed back.

After they understood what happened here, they surrounded the body and observed it.

"Since he's not new, he must be a local in this town. Go and inform the owner of the business and ask them to come and take a look."

After all, they are also responsible for what happened in their family's funeral home.

Soon, a man hurried over: "What did you say? Someone died in the mourning hall?"

"What a joke! My dad is going to die in a year, and it will be a happy funeral. How could something like this happen?"

When he stepped into the mourning hall and saw the person hanging there, the anger on his face changed, and he suddenly rushed over and hugged the person's legs, crying: "Second Brother, Second Brother, why are you so depressed?"

"Even though Dad passed away, he died peacefully. How could you do such a thing?"

The man's crying made others look sideways.

"Help me put him down quickly. You guys who are keeping vigil, why didn't you stop him?"

"Old Two is in trouble now, and you guys must give me an explanation."

It sounds like the man who hanged himself is the younger brother of the person in charge, and also the host of the funeral.
