Chapter 108: Does the cat-faced old lady really exist?
"What...what is this?" Wang Jiajia's voice was filled with tears.
"It could be some kind of soul that has not been able to rest in peace, or... a more complex existence." Chen Yile said, turning back to continue setting up the formation.
Suddenly, the lights in the entire room began to flicker, the television turned on by itself, and static-like snow appeared on the screen.
The two were watching TV in panic, when suddenly, a scream was heard from the TV.
The sound was extremely piercing, and then the screen went completely black.
Immediately afterwards, the temperature in the room dropped sharply, and a cold breath filled the air.
Wang Jiajia couldn't help but tremble, and Chen Yile took out a small copper bell from his pocket.
"Listen carefully, Jiajia, no matter what happens, do not leave this formation."
He said this seriously, then rang the copper bell. The ringing sound was clear and melodious, which seemed particularly abrupt in the gloomy atmosphere.
The ringing of the bell seemed to have some magical power, and the cold atmosphere in the room dissipated temporarily.
But the whispers outside grew more intense, as if competing with the ringing.
"You can't escape..." The voice sounded again, seeming even more angry and roaring.
The door of the room suddenly shook violently, as if something was outside trying to break in.
Chen Yile stared at the door closely, shaking the copper bell in his hand continuously. Every ring of the bell seemed to be resisting the force outside.
This strange confrontation lasted for several minutes. Wang Jiajia nervously grabbed Chen Yile's hand, her eyes full of fear and confusion.
Suddenly, the noise outside stopped and everything returned to calm.
But Chen Yile knew that this was only temporary peace and the real challenge might be yet to come.
He looked around, took a deep breath, and then whispered to Wang Jiajia, "We have to be prepared. There may be more things to come."
As the night grew darker, the atmosphere in the room gradually grew heavier.
Chen Yile and Wang Jiajia sat tiredly by the bed, but neither of them let down their guard.
The silence around seemed to be brewing a greater danger, like the calm before the storm, making people feel suffocated.
Suddenly, there was a sound of light footsteps outside.
Chen Yile and Wang Jiajia's nerves tensed instantly. They looked at each other and could see the deep fear in each other's eyes.
The footsteps were slow and heavy, like an elderly man dragging his feet on the ground, with an indescribable weirdness.
"That voice..." Wang Jiajia couldn't help but whisper. "Does it sound like... the legendary cat-faced old lady?"
Chen Yile frowned. Of course he had heard of this ancient legend.
It is said that in some remote villages, there are stories about a strange existence.
An old lady with a cat's face, moves mysteriously and appears silently in the dead of night.
Anyone who has seen her has inevitably encountered extremely terrible things.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and seemed to be lingering outside the room door.
Chen Yile held his breath, tightly gripped the yellow talisman in his hand, and thought quickly about countermeasures in his mind.
However, the footsteps suddenly stopped outside the door, followed by a low purring sound, like the growl of a cat threatening.
"Brother Chen, this sound is so weird..." Wang Jiajia's voice trembled with fear.
Chen Yile was about to speak to comfort her when he suddenly heard a soft knock on the door.
The knock was very light, as if it was just a skinny finger knocking on the wooden door, making a creepy sound.
Then, a cold and hoarse voice sounded, as if coming from the depths of hell.
"Kids, open the door... I know you are inside..."
The voice was filled with endless chill, making people's scalps tingle involuntarily.
Wang Jiajia was almost suffocated by fear. She grabbed Chen Yile's arm tightly and almost collapsed on him.
"Don't be afraid!" Chen Yile whispered.
"This thing shouldn't dare to come in directly. As long as we don't respond, it can't do anything to us."
However, the knocking on the door became more urgent, as if that being was trying to break through some obstacle.
The knocking sound mixed with the low gurgling sound, forming an eerie symphony that made the air in the room even more oppressive.
Suddenly, a sharp cat cry came from the darkness outside the window, followed by a creepy laugh.
Hoarse and shrill, as if two different voices were mixed together with an eerie rhythm.
"You can't escape...you can't escape..." The voice seemed to echo around the room, carrying mockery and endless malice.
Chen Yile felt a strong chill rising from the soles of his feet. He knew that things were becoming more complicated.
The cat-faced old lady was not just a legend. Tonight, she seemed to be right in front of them and would never leave easily.
"I must strengthen my protection." Chen Yile muttered to himself. He quickly took out a few red lines from his bag and began to tie a protective line around the room.
This red thread is said to be used to ward off evil spirits and is one of the magical tools passed down from his ancestors.
Every time the red string was tied, the air in the room seemed to become a little fresher.
Wang Jiajia was still huddled in bed, staring at the door anxiously.
Suddenly, a thick black liquid began to seep out from the crack in the door. It had a pungent fishy smell.
The liquid flowed slowly, as if something was trying to squeeze in from the other side of the door.
"Brother Chen!" Wang Jiajia screamed, with uncontrollable fear in her voice.
"Don't move!" Chen Yile shouted. He knew that it was some evil spirit trying to break through their defenses.
He quickly took out a yellow talisman, quickly drew several complex symbols on the talisman with cinnabar, and then stuck it on the crack of the door.
As soon as the talisman paper came into contact with the black liquid, it made a "sizzling" sound.
The black liquid seemed to be burned and quickly retreated back out the door.
But an angry growl came from outside the door, and then the cold voice sounded again: "Do you think you can stop me like this?..."
Immediately afterwards, there was a loud bang outside the door, and the whole room shook.
Chen Yile felt that the talisman paper on the door was shaking violently, as if it would be torn at any time.
He gritted his teeth and concentrated all his energy on the spell, muttering something to increase its power.
At this moment, a shrill cat cry suddenly came from outside the window, so sharp that it seemed to pierce a person's eardrum.
Wang Jiajia covered her ears and curled up in the corner of the bed in pain.
Chen Yile also felt a sharp pain in his eardrums, but he forced himself to concentrate and continue chanting the spell.
The window suddenly opened with a bang, and a gust of cold wind mixed with black shadows like cat hair blew in my face.
The black shadow rolled around in the room, emitting a disgusting stench.
