Lu Ning and Shi Song walked to the door of the study on the third floor. The light was still yellow, but because Yin Lian had been here before and opened all the curtains, there was still enough light. Lu Ning quickly walked to the bookshelf, pulled out a dictionary and put it on the desk. However, she did not leave in a hurry. Instead, she opened the desk drawer according to Yin Lian's instructions and took out all the diaries inside. out.
Shi Song was a little surprised: "Sister Lu Ning, what are you doing? Let's grab the dictionary and leave."
"The last few days in this diary record Tang Yuanzhen's getting the gold prayer statue. If you find the diary from next year, you might be able to figure out how to use it! Shi Song, hurry up and help me look for it. No need to read more. As long as you have written relevant things in the past few days, it will be fine!”
This is also the reason why Lu Ning took the initiative to ask for help. Out of some selfish motives, she didn't want to tell too many people about this matter. It was natural that Shi Song was the one who found the golden statue with her from the beginning. It would be okay to have one more person. People may be in trouble.
"Oh, okay." Shi Song came over immediately to help rummage.
"I thought you would object."
"Haha, I'm not very bright, but I know that what you do is useful, and Sister Lian is also doing useful things. You want to help us survive."
Lu Ning nodded: "That's right, but it's only within the scope of his ability."
"Are all you girls like this at this age?" Shi Song chuckled and picked up another diary, "My sister is about the same age as you, and she also likes to speak in a very awkward way. I don't understand it, but Just know that you don’t mean any harm.”
"Your sister, you seem to talk about her a lot."
"Yes, her name is Shi Xinning. I can introduce you to her when we get back. She has many friends, so she will definitely get along with you... Ah, is that it?"
Lu Ning hurriedly took the diary from Shi Song's hand and looked at the opened page.
【Sunny January 5th
The study of the golden statue is almost complete, and the results are gratifying. Just like the rumors, it does have powerful spiritual energy attached to it, and can even suppress the attacks of evil objects. But after all, it is an object of prayer, and it needs to be imprinted to obtain short-term protection. Even though this effect is very powerful, it is only a temporary effect, which is a pity. 】
"Yes, that's it!"
Later, I also described the researched usage method, which is to use a flame to heat the pattern at the bottom of the golden statue and burn it on the human body, and then you can obtain a protective function against evil spirits. After testing, it is effective against a variety of evil objects, but only the first one is used. The branding will only take effect once, which is why Tang Yuanzhen lamented that its effect is powerful but useless.
However, for Lu Ning's current situation, this function is enough.
squeak.
A soft sound on the floor made Lu Ning, who was highly concentrated, suddenly raise her head.
"what sound!"
There is a thin carpet in the study, and even if you step on it, the sound of the wood below is very subtle. This sound can only come from the corridor.
Shi Song also turned his head and looked at the open door of the study. A moment later, another slight sound came, this time it was like the sound of stepping on the ground as he walked into the room.
However, in their eyes, no one walked in.
Lu Ning instantly picked up the dictionary on the table, took two steps back, and leaned against the bookshelf. With the slight creaking sound, she was sure that something was coming from the door towards the two of them.
"Run!" Shi Song roared wildly, and he slammed towards the source of the sound. To his surprise, he was not blocked by any means, and he hit the door frame with his head, and let out a scream at that time. Lu Ning was stunned for a moment, then she immediately reacted, turned over the desk, and quickly rushed to the door. The footsteps entering the room also immediately turned around and walked towards the door again!
"Quick, Shi Song, let's run away now, it can't catch up with us!" Lu Ning pulled up Shi Song, who was a little dazed from the collision, and the two of them rushed out, shouting and staggering towards the stairs. Run. However, the study room is in the middle of the corridor, about ten meters away from the stairs.
The corridor was already dark at this time, and all the curtains were closed at some point. A clear creaking sound was heard, which was the sound of the ghost walking out of the room.
"Help!!"
At this moment, Lu Ning no longer cared about fear. She just made the loudest noise to try to attract the attention of everyone downstairs. Shi Song finally found his balance after running for two steps. Just when he let go of Lu Ning's hand, he heard There were more intensive creaking sounds from behind.
"ah!"
The more dangerous the situation, the more likely it is that problems will arise - when Lu Ning was running forward, Shi Song's footsteps suddenly sank, and a wooden floor on the ground broke into two halves with a click, and he also fell in with a twist. Go in.
"Lu, Lu Ning! Help me!"
Lu Ning turned around when she heard the cry for help, and immediately saw Shi Song's eyes wide open, and both arms began to bend unnaturally behind him. There was a clear sound of fracture, and blood spurted out from the cracks in the flesh. Shi Song's screams splashed onto her face.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh”
Shi Song struggled to push his body out of the floor pit, as if he could get out of it, but in fact it had no effect. After his arms finally wrapped around his back in a weird posture, his legs began to move. Bend it behind you.
"Help-help ah ah ah ah..."
As the blood spurted out, Shi Song's voice became weaker and weaker, and he could only stare at Lu Ning who was so close with desperate eyes. However, Lu Ning felt that her hands and feet were cold, and it was difficult to even take a step, and her brain seemed to have become slow - help? What to save? A gold statue? She wants to find the flame and put a mark on Shi Song?
This was an idea that even she found ridiculous. She finally understood why Tang Yuanzhen said this thing was so useless. In the current situation, it really had no effect on her at all.
Finally, Shi Song's head was bent back, and when his neck was broken and torn open, more blood spurted onto the ceiling and poured over Lu Ning's head and face. The fat but still strong body finally stopped moving, but this was still not the end. The huge force tore his belly from the navel, and the internal organs flowed out, disappearing in mid-air with a sticky chewing sound.
When the blood was somewhat coagulated, the force supporting Shi Song's body in mid-air suddenly disappeared, and the body hit the floor with a little sound. During this period, Lu Ning just kept her eyes open, watching all of this blankly, motionless.
Yes... how long has it been?
A hand waved in front of Lu Ning twice. Seeing no response, he grabbed her shoulder and shook her hard.
Lu Ning slowly turned her head and saw Yu Zhisong's somewhat haggard face.
"Where have you been?"
Lu Ning's current image is not good at all. Her face and body are covered with large amounts of semi-coagulated blood, and her eyes are scary. Coupled with her current calm tone, which has no emotional ups and downs, even Yu Zhisong feels a little... Chilling down the back.
"Sorry... we heard the noise, but there was chaos downstairs at that time..."
"chaos?"
"Fang Min is dead." Yu Zhisong sighed and said it directly, "He died very strangely. Moreover, the candle flame in his hand instantly turned blue and recovered quickly. I only thought of this The early warning function, but I didn’t expect how much chaos it would cause if there was an early warning.”
"It's... like this."
Lu Ning slowly turned her body around, but her knees weakened and she knelt on the ground.
Yu Zhisong hurriedly helped her up: "Are you...are you okay?"
and got no answer. Lu Ning relied on Yu Zhisong's strength to slowly walk to the stairs with him and go downstairs - now the downstairs was no longer so chaotic, but there were also many fewer people. Hong Zehao squatted at the entrance of the stairs with an annoyed look on his face. When he raised his head and saw Lu Ning covered in blood, he was shocked again.
"What's wrong...can you tell me?"
"The ghost killed someone." Yu Zhisong raised his head and gestured upstairs, "Shi Song is dead. She witnessed the whole process. Don't ask so many questions."
"Where is that woman? Where did she go after such a big thing happened?"
The angry scoldings of the nouveau riche came from the corridor. Immediately, everyone discovered that Yin Lian was missing. There were many voices of condemnation for a while.
"Normally, you lead the team like a leader, but where are you at the critical moment?"
"Two of them died, and one of her teammates must have been there. What did she do on her own?"
"Do you know the importance of this?"
Lu Ning turned his head slightly and glanced at the people still in the corridor. The three upstarts, several of Fang Min's companions, and even the couple and the two band members of Yu Zhisong's team were a little angry this time. look.
Yin Lian...did she do something wrong?
"Don't think too much." Yu Zhisong gently took the dictionary she was still holding tightly from Lu Ning's hand, threw it to Hong Zehao, and then helped her slowly downstairs.
"How did Fang Min die?" Lu Ning suddenly asked.
"When she was checking the manuscript, her head suddenly tilted and she died. It was only when Pang Lingling handed her coffee that she realized that she ran out of the room screaming, and we also saw the flames change color and become a mess. In the end, Pang Lingling handed her coffee. The strange thing is that Fang Min still had a smile on his face when he died, you know... it was like a taunting or 'I understand' kind of smile, it was very weird."
Even if he described it this way, Lu Ning no longer felt any fear - it was nothing compared to the direct experience just now.
And she also discovered that she was not incapable of fear. When faced with something truly terrifying, she was just like everyone else, unable to move and her hands and feet became weak.
The more this happens, the more I admire Yin Lian's courage. However... when she comes back, I'm afraid what awaits her will be an even more disappointing situation.
Yu Zhisong helped Lu Ning sit down on a chair, poured her a glass of water and put it at hand, sighing softly.
