At a night when many people were anxious and unable to sleep, Lu Ning, who shared the same room with Yin Lian, slept soundly.
The remaining twenty-eight people form groups with each other to ensure that there are no less than two people in a room. In fact, it seems more reasonable to gather together, but Yin Lian said that the number of people has no effect other than hiding and running. It's big, but it just distracts the ghost's pursuit, and may even get in the way. The most important thing is that both ghosts have killed people. Instead of being afraid of the last killing quota, it is better to rest and recharge their batteries. In short, such a large set of theories has been covered except for a few clear ones, and in the end they all Went back to the room and slept.
And this night seemed to be spent safely as if the frightening rhythm during the day was enough. In the early morning, the air washed by the heavy rain finally took on a fresh smell. Lu Ning opened her eyes and saw that Yin Lian had gotten up. She opened the curtains and opened the window for ventilation.
"Sister Yin Lian...good morning." Lu Ning rubbed her eyes and said good morning drowsily.
"Good morning."
After she woke up a little, Lu Ning suddenly saw two black-covered books on the bedside table between the two beds. She subconsciously reached out and took one.
"Go wash your face first, don't rush to see this."
Lu Ning had just opened the book and was stunned for a moment when she heard Yin Lian's words. She shook her head and said, "Sister Yin Lian, where did this come from?"
"After I got up in the morning, I went to the study and found a mechanism."
"organ?"
"You still remember that desk, the handles of those drawers are turned ninety degrees to the right and then lifted up and pulled open, which will replace the inside with another drawer."
Lu Ning recalled that compared to the width of the entire table, the capacity of the drawer was a bit small, but at that time she was focused on the golden statue and ignored this.
"I'm sorry, I was the one checking that table..."
"It's normal. I noticed something was wrong today when I noticed the wear marks on the top of the drawer handle when the light was good. When you checked, it was cloudy outside and there was only yellowish light in the room. I couldn't have noticed it."
Yin Lian shook off the quilt and spread it on the bed. She spoke in an understatement, but Lu Ning could tell how carefully she searched.
"No... wait, you ran out alone early in the morning!"
Perhaps it was because of insufficient blood supply to the brain when he got up that Lu Ning realized it at this time.
"Uh, do you think it's inappropriate for me to leave you behind? I'm sorry in that case, I just feel..."
"No, there is still a ghost that hasn't taken action. What should you do if you are in danger!"
Lu Ning said anxiously.
Yin Lian smiled after hearing this and patted the dagger on her waist: "It's a ghost. Even if it wants to kill me, I will kill it first. Don't worry."
"This is too dangerous!"
"Lu Ning, we are competing for time with the ghosts."
Yin Lian stopped her from continuing.
"After the first day, ghosts can kill people again. If we don't try our best to search for things that are beneficial to us at a safer time, what is the difference between waiting for death? Survival is not only about luck, but also about fighting for yourself."
Lu Ning nodded, but did not accept this trick: "Wake me up next time and agree that more than one person will take action. No matter what you say, it won't work."
"Okay, wash your face quickly."
The two books Yin Lian got back were Tang Yuanzhen's diaries - judging from the content, it looked like this. These diaries were stored in the secret compartment of the drawer. There were more than ten in total. Yin Lian only took two back and looked at them first.
Tang Yuanzhen's handwriting is beautiful and regular. Although it is traditional Chinese, it is not difficult to understand. The diary is not marked with the year, only the month and date, and each diary is neatly written from January 1st to December 31st. I do not write every day in the middle, but mostly record my thoughts and feelings. Something like that.
Reading these is a big project. After all, Tang Yuanzhen will also mix some of his own understanding and opinions on mysticism in the middle. Lu Ning is afraid of missing some key information, so he chews every sentence carefully. On the other side, Yin Lian was much faster. She just looked for the diary contents that mentioned the collectibles section, and quickly finished a quarter of it.
Ding.
A beep from the phone pulled the two of them back from the diary. Lu Ning quickly picked up the phone and took a look at the battery while unlocking it——
Approximately one-seventh of the power is consumed.
A new text message was lying in the information bar. It had the same sender information as the one received before, but a new rule reminder was added.
[Sincerely:
To all the tourists who are still alive, I hope your thrilling first day will satisfy you.
Here are additional tips for ghosts:
The two or three ghosts each have different abilities, but they can only use one method of killing. Only when certain conditions are met can they kill. If no one can kill within twenty-four hours, the quota will not be accumulated. Apart from special abilities, ghosts have the same mobility as humans.
Three (will be unlocked at the end of day two)
I wish you all a pleasant journey. 】
The message was not long, and it only supplemented the second rule of ghosts. However, when Yin Lian and Lu Ning raised their heads, their expressions were not very good.
"...Lu Ning, what do you think?"
"It's scary... In addition to giving us countermeasures and limiting the number of kills, there are still so many restrictions. All the information so far is unfavorable to ghosts. This can only mean..."
"The conditions are actually overwhelmingly unfavorable to us, right." Yin Lian said worriedly.
However, there are still only a few people who can think of so many people.
Most of the people who received the second text message looked relieved. Hong Zehao, among others, felt that ghosts were actually not that scary anymore, especially the fact that their mobility was the same as that of humans, which meant that as long as they found ghosts approaching, they would run away. It can also be run away.
As for how to detect the approaching ghost? The rotten hands of the lovers have never broken the candle.
Under such a situation, even Yin Lian couldn't say anything to throw cold water on it. In addition, there was good news about the translator of Menssar's manuscript. Most people at today's breakfast were in high spirits.
The news about the Mensal manuscript came from the little girl named Pang Lingling who is a furniture enthusiast. Fang Min, a woman with glasses, stayed up late last night to translate the manuscript. She has already deciphered a large section of information, which is definitely about forcibly returning the undead to the underworld. Method, if it can be done, at least one ghost can be reduced - this news is more exciting than that text message. Now, in order to ensure Fang Min's safety, there are already people taking turns guarding there, and this method must be translated.
"Today is the time for us to fight back!" The two band members are now on the front line of the battle against ghosts. Yu Zhisong also acquiesces to their approach, but he is much more decadent and has dark circles on his face. It showed that he didn't get a good sleep last night.
"We'd better search more while it's sunny outside. There are still some items in the collection that we haven't found. We couldn't search everywhere yesterday."
Yin Lian still spoke.
However, her words are destined to be useless now. Now everyone's attention is on the ceremony. Besides, the collection in hand is enough. Compared with those who don't know when they will be found, it is better to grab them. The actual things in front of you are more useful.
Once again, no one responded to Yin Lian's words. She seemed to be used to it, but at this time, Lu Ning, Shisong, Gongsun You and others were still on her side, and Ling Yan and a strong man with a hunchback also walked over quietly.
"We feel that it is indeed necessary to make more preparations. This is indeed the key, but with so many people... there is no shortage of us." Ling Yan lowered his voice and talked quietly with Yin Lian and others.
The man also gestured and said "Ah, ah, ah," but he couldn't speak. Ling Yan looked at his gesture and explained: "Uncle Xing is mute, but he has been on the battlefield and is very reliable. He also feels that the current atmosphere is too optimistic. If not to make others wake up, at least we have to Continue to prepare your backup plan.”
Yin Lian glanced at the people discussing enthusiastically over there and asked in a low voice: "Then at least let me know...does Uncle Xing have anything useful in his hands?"
"Yes." Ling Yan gave an affirmative reply.
In fact, before finding the wooden sword, the only thing their team found was in Uncle Xing's hand, which was a small copper bottle filled with fine red sand.
The red quicksand in the collection is feared by monsters and ghosts. Evil things will be severely burned if they come into contact with it. However, the amount is really small. The amount of sand in the bottle is enough to spread out an area for three people to stand in the center.
"In this way, it is safer to have candles in the house. Then Uncle Xing, Ling Yan, I and I will go out and search the outside again. Lu Ning, Shi Song and Mr. Gongsun will stay in the main room. Don't act alone, and try to maintain everyone's mood." Yin Lian immediately made a decision.
No one had any objections, so when no one was paying attention, Yin Lian and the other three quietly went out.
After everyone's persuasion, the lovers in the hall finally agreed to take the Hand of Decay upstairs and squat outside Fang Min's door as a warning. As a result, Lu Ning and the others had to follow them upstairs. However, no one except Fang Min's own teammates dared to go in and disturb him. As a result, it turned into a large group of people squatting in the corridor. The scene was quite funny.
Time passed slowly, and Lu Ning went back to the room, took out the diary and continued reading. I don't know how long it took, but the door suddenly opened, and Fang Min and Pang Lingling came out.
"How's it going?" Someone immediately came up and asked.
"Most of them are completed, but some of them are really hard to understand. I need relevant professional Latin dictionaries, even if they are translated into English."
"Where...where can I find this?"
Lu Ning closed the book, stood up, moved her body, and said, "There is it in the study. Come and get it with me."
Shi Song also stood up immediately. Hong Zehao also remembered when he saw this. Fang Min quickly said: "Well... although I'm sorry, I still hope Mr. Hong can stay. I'm... very nervous."
Lu Ning glanced at Fang Min and agreed with her words, and immediately said: "Just pick up something, Shi Song and I will be enough. We will be back in ten minutes."
"Pay attention to safety." Gongsun You said softly.
"Don't worry. We looked there in the study. I remember the place."
After saying that, the two of them walked towards the stairs.
