The woman’s voice circulated around their ears, and it made them panic. The harder they tried to ignore it, the sharper the sound became, as their brains tried to figure out what the female voice was saying. Bloody handprints appeared on the wall. The street that Chen Ge’s group was going down seemed to have been the setting for one heavy tragedy before this.

“Don’t listen to it! Move!” Chen Ge felt something was chasing after them. With his trusty hammer in hand, he stood at the back of her group, carrying the backpack. These tortured souls did not want to be tormented by the female ghost anymore, and this was their only chance to escape her control.

Invisible rain seemed to fall from the sky, and there was moisture in the air. A light smell of blood touched their nostrils as the street turned complicated. The woman slowly approached, and her voice changed; it overlapped with a voice in their memory. She called after them like family calling them home.

“That sounds like my daughter?” Master Bai tried to turn behind him to look. “Is that real or fake?”

Chen Ge grabbed his shoulders. “Do not turn back! Do not answer!”

He had just told Master Bai that when Ol’ Wei screamed at the front of the group, “Look up at the house on the left!”

Ol’ Wei kept his hand on the holster, his emotions running wild.

“Look up‽” Chen Ge looked up, and his pupils narrowed. There was someone squatting on the top of the building!

The man’s body was very thin, and his arms very long; he looked like a monkey.

“What was that‽” Chen Ge had not seen a monster like that before; it did not look like a ghost.

“I’ve heard my father tell stories about them before—they’re called Eaves Ghosts.” Master Bai’s face was white. “They will lie in wait on top the eaves at night. After the home owner falls asleep, they will crawl in through the window to steal the owner’s belongings and suck their blood dry. It’s a common rumor in villages, but no one has really seen them.”

Chen Ge moved his gaze away from the monster. As long as it was not a Red Specter, there was nothing he was afraid of. “Ignore it, we’ll run past him!”

The group ran past the Eaves Ghost carrying the baby. The thing on the eaves seemed to be particularly interested in living humans. Its elongated arms grabbed the pillar as it swung downward. It moved between beams as it chased after Chen Ge’s group. The thing was very clever; it maintained its distance, staying not too close and not too far. It was biding its time. Soon, a second Eaves Ghost appeared. Their appearance was different from a living human. Their skulls protruded outward, their eyes were small, and their mouths were filled with sharp teeth.

“Chen Ge, we cannot just keep running blindly!” This was the first time Ol’ Wei had seen something like this. If given a second chance, he would never follow Chen Ge to come to this isolated village.

“Ignore everything, just focus on running.” Chen Ge did not mind those Eaves Ghosts. The only thing he was afraid of was the Red Specter and the voices that circulated around their ears. The danger that they could see was not really dangerous; what they could not see was the real fatal threat.

They ran for several meters, and when they about to turn the second corner, the Eaves Ghosts who were tailing them finally got impatient. However, they were cunning and careful. They did not attack the living humans directly but placed their focus on the backpack Chen Ge was carrying.

Several thin hands reached for the backpack, and Chen Ge finally lost his patience. He swung the hammer to smack the Eaves Ghosts’ arms away and pressed on the recorder.
