When Eric returned, Mrs. Walton followed him. She felt that everyone was acting strange today.
Opening the door, Mrs. Walton saw George, Eric, Andrew, and Alex gathered in Amelia’s room, Amelia and William, and Emma, who had come to join in the fun not long ago. There was a room full of people.
Mrs. Walton was speechless. “What are you guys doing? It’s so late. Why aren’t you sleeping?” As she spoke, she subconsciously glanced at Helena.
Helena was speechless. She stiffly raised the poker in her hand and stammered, “We… we were playing poker…”
Mrs. Walton: Who was she kidding? It was possible for Eric and Andrew to play poker. Even Alex, who didn’t play by the book, might play poker, but George definitely wouldn’t. She would rather believe that George would slash someone with a knife than that he would play poker!
Mrs. Walton narrowed her eyes. “What the h.e.l.l are you guys doing?”
Amelia blinked and suddenly said, “Grandma, we’re telling ghost stories!”
William quickly echoed, “Yes, yes, yes. We’re telling ghost stories!” This was not a lie. They were indeed telling “ghost stories”!
George and the others nodded firmly.
Mrs. Walton: ‘
At night, William returned to his room and lay on the bed, thinking about how many ghosts Amelia had to catch. Mia’s mysterious master said that more and more ghosts would gather around his aunt… William sat up and suddenly had an idea! Mia needed to catch ghosts, and his aunt could attract ghosts! Weren’t these ghosts that delivered themselves to their door?! Then wouldn’t his sisters Soul Retrieving Gourd be filled soon?!
William quickly got out of bed and turned on the light. Because Elmer had said that he had chased away all the ghosts around Helena, William was not guarded at all and thought that there were no ghosts in the house.
In the latter half of the night, William was scribbling under the light. A gust of wind blew past, and a female ghost in a red dress suddenly appeared behind him.
William felt something strange. He looked up and saw the reflection of the gla.s.s door of the bookcase… On his shoulder was a female ghost in red!
“Ahhhh!” William’s scream cut through the night. He ran out, wanting to find Amelia. Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the door, he saw ghosts standing outside the corridor on the second floor!
At a glance, there were at least twenty to thirty ghosts!
Hearing William open the door, the ghosts in the corridor looked over and stared straight at William.
In the corridor late at night, a group of ghosts stood outside the door in a dead silence. There was no sound at all, and they were even staring straight at you… No matter who it was, they would be frightened to death by the scene!
William’s scalp went numb. He stared straight ahead and pretended to sleepwalk. He trembled as he walked towards Amelia’s room.
“You can’t see me, you can’t see me…” William muttered in his heart. However, the female ghost lying on his shoulder slid from behind to the front like a snake. Her head was facing William’s face, and her white eyes stared straight at William. “Hehe, little friend, can you see me?”
The female ghost in red exhaled into William’s ear. William forced himself to go cross-eyed and buried his head as he walked forward stiffly.
The female ghost in red chuckled. “Are you pretending to sleepwalk? But you were still doing your homework just now and didn’t sleep!” As she spoke, her face suddenly split into two, and her eyes became extremely terrifying. “Come down and accompany me!”
William was scared out of his wits. He couldn’t care less and ran again. As he ran, he shouted, “Sister! Boohoo! Sister, help!” He pa.s.sed through the ghosts’ bodies. The ghosts let out gurgling sounds, just like the zombies in television dramas!
William ran with all his might, but Amelia’s room was clearly in front of him. He could not run!
The Walton family, who had been woken up, opened the door and came out.
They saw William crying and shouting as he walked in circles in the corridor.
Eric was stunned. He stopped yawning and asked in confusion, “William, what are you doing?”
William did not seem to hear her. He was still shouting and spinning.
George’s expression darkened as he shouted coldly, “William!”
William shivered.
At this moment, William’s eyes suddenly widened, and he chuckled. His eyes were dull, and he no longer had the intelligence from before. He grinned, and saliva dripped down… He turned his head and looked straight at George..
