When the second twenty-four hours passed, the text message came again as expected. Lu Ning was already fast asleep on the bed. Yin Lian and Ling Yan picked up their phones and clicked on the message.
This time the text message is full of information:
[Sincerely:
Dear tourists, do you feel reluctant to leave on the second day? Between death and life, have you found the beautiful light of humanity? Please cherish the time you have now and the people around you.
Additional tips about ghosts:
3. The first ghost's ability is to be invisible and extremely powerful. Don't expect to fight it in any way, it is unrealistic. The invisible ghost's killing method is to kill the victim by breaking the limbs and neck back, and then disembowel and eat part of the internal organs. Invisible ghosts are not afraid of light, but they cannot physically touch humans under strong light. In other words, invisible ghosts can only kill people in dimly lit areas.
Four (will be unlocked at the end of day three)
I wish you all a pleasant journey. 】
"Hmph... I directly gave the information to a ghost. In this way, the content of the next two days can basically be inferred." Yin Lian gently rubbed the handle of the dagger with one hand on her waist, a look on her face. He smiled with interest, "And it's bad information for ghosts. They even told us their weaknesses - why do I feel it's even worse?"
"Do you think so?" Ling Yan really didn't think too much, "But as long as we can ensure the lighting conditions, that's it."
"Don't think too simplistically. First, although it is said that only dim light can kill people, to what extent is dim light? Second, when there is not enough fuel, it is okay during the day. We have already experienced a power outage at night. How can this be done? Solve it? Third, how can you be sure that other ghosts cannot kill people in that environment? A dark environment is more conducive to the performance of these guys. Fourth, and the most important one..." Yin Lian paused intentionally at this point. For a moment, "The first ghost's ability is invisibility - invisibility is included in this ghost's ability. In other words, our previous idea that ghosts can approach and kill people invisible is no longer feasible. There is only one ghost. Has the ability to stealth and kill.”
Ling Yan was horrified.
"That's right... If other ghosts can't be invisible, where are they hiding? Or, what ability do they rely on to remain hidden? Are they transformed into the objects we see? Or are they hidden in the shadows? Or... simply us When thirty people entered, there was already a ghost sneaking into them?"
Yin Lian smiled bitterly and expressed this conjecture.
"Let me tell you one last thing, my dagger, its function is to absorb the soul of the person it kills. If it is not a coincidence, what do you think its real function should be?"
"...Kill the ghost who infiltrated among us in human form."
Lu Ning answered this sentence.
A restful rest made her feel much better. After being awakened by the soft conversation between the two of them, Lu Ning kept listening silently. After waking up now, he also took his mobile phone and scanned the text messages. I have to say that although she still has some ideas, it is still difficult to understand them all at once as clearly as Yin Lian.
"Are you awake? How are you feeling?" Yin Lian asked.
"It's good...I feel like my head isn't heavy anymore. Is there anything wrong?"
"I just received the text message, and Gui's killing quota has just been refreshed. What can happen?" Yin Lian poured some water for her, "I'll soak your clothes in hot water and wash them after the blood on them melts. It will definitely leave marks, but at least it won’t be that uncomfortable to wear.”
"Thank you, Sister Yin Lian." Lu Ning nodded lightly.
Yin Lian patted her hand across the quilt, turned to Ling Yan and said: "We will read Fang Min's memory at noon today. Ling Yan, I hope that the matter of the message in the bottle will not be made public, and that everyone will not The dead read it.”
"oh?"
"This is my advice. I suspect there are hidden secrets in these things that save our lives. The number of times the message in the bottle can be used may not be unlimited. Everything must be used in critical moments. Do you understand?"
Ling Yan also felt that this was necessary, and agreed immediately. Yin Lian felt relieved a little, stood up and went to wash Lu Ning's clothes. Lu Ning touched his head and gently closed his eyes. His gradually clearer brain began to think about what he needed to pay attention to next.
Ling Yan sat on the other bed with his arms folded, taking over Yin Lian's place on duty.
Yin Lian used the small soap in the bathroom until she was able to clean Lu Ning's clothes. The traces were not particularly obvious after soaking in water, but they would definitely leave traces after drying.
It has now become a problem for everyone to have only one set of clothes. There are some old clothes in the bedroom on the third floor, but except for some leather ones that are still strong, the others are almost torn when pulled, and they are not as solid as a bathrobe.
"However, after having the information about the first ghost, it is easier to speculate on the rest of the ghosts. The way ghosts kill is fixed, so judging from the current death situation, their hiding methods are also traceable, but there are still some traces. We can't rule out too much..." Yin Lian was also analyzing the known situation in her mind, "Fang Min's death is a breakthrough, but it needs to be confirmed whether it is what I thought. The invisible ghost is actually the weakest among the three. , that’s why detailed information was given in the first one. In this case, ghosts also have the rules of survival of the fittest? No - maybe it’s more serious. Not only are we humans competing, ghosts are also competing... Can they communicate with each other? ? Can each other assist each other in the game? Wait... why at that time - "
A flash of inspiration flashed through Yin Lian's mind. At this time, out of the corner of her eye, she saw something moving.
Almost at this moment, Yin Lian's hands had touched her waist, and she looked up at the back of her body in the mirror, but... there was nothing behind her.
What moved was her own hand in the mirror.
"——This is the last puzzle!" Yin Lian thought in her heart, but couldn't open her mouth to shout out. Yin Lian in the mirror showed a wicked smile, put her hand on her mouth, and at the same time blocked the outside of the mirror. Yin Lian made any sound.
"The second ghost moves in the mirror. It doesn't exist in our world at all, so we can't find it. As for the third ghost -"
Yin Lian's brain had never turned so fast. She quickly pulled out the dagger and stepped back. However, the ghost in the mirror was still standing in front of the mirror, reaching out and picking up a blade next to the sink - that was not Existing in reality - mark on the neck and cut it hard!
"Gu."
An indistinct sound came from Yin Lian's throat, which was quickly drowned by the blood spurting from her neck. The large amount of blood loss caused her vision to become blurry. The ghost in the mirror finally let go of his hand and grinned at Yin Lian with the same blood spurting out. He opened his hands slightly and the blade in his hand fell with a "ding". On the ground.
landed on the ground in reality.
"Damn..." Yin Lian's vision turned black, and her strength was almost gone. The severe pain disrupted her thinking. The only thing she could still remember was the cold, hard object still clenched in her hand.
"...at least...finally..."
The body fell backwards.
"...I want to verify..."
She gathered her last strength and waved her right hand.
"...Is this used to kill you?"
Click! Wow!
The loud noise coming from the bathroom made the two people in the bedroom jump up from the bed immediately. Lu Ning and Ling Yan rushed into the bathroom in a few steps, just in time to see Yin Lian lying on the ground covered in blood and being stabbed with a dagger. A smashed mirror.
"Sister Yin Lian!!!"
Lu Ning yelled until her voice became hoarse, and rushed forward to hug Yin Lian. However, her wide-open eyes had become blank now, and the red liquid representing life no longer spewed out quickly, and gradually slowed down the flow.
Ling Yan knelt down, placed the small glass bottle next to Yin Lian, glanced at the broken mirror, stretched out his hand and gently closed Yin Lian's eyes.
"Condolences."
"No... how is it possible? The day has just begun and we haven't done anything yet. Why are we killing people now?" Lu Ning glanced at the mirror bitterly, "Mirror? Is it a mirror? Killing by looking at the mirror? No... …”
The dagger that had fallen to the ground lay quietly among the broken glass.
"Ghosts are in the mirror. This is the last thing Sister Yin Lian wants to tell us."
Lu Ning's voice gradually became calmer, with a hint of coldness.
"The mirror ghost uses slit throats to kill people, so its weakness is also obvious. It can't kill people without a mirror, right?"
"Lu Ning, you have to calm down." Ling Yan noticed that Lu Ning was in a bad mood and immediately spoke to dissuade her.
"So that's it, I made a mistake... After being so timid yesterday, I made such a mistake again... I'm sorry, Sister Yin Lian." Lu Ning slowly lowered his head and laid Yin Lian's body flat. Then he walked over and picked up the dagger.
"You're a little confused, Lu Ning. It's not your problem." Ling Yan frowned and raised his hand to hold Lu Ning's shoulder, "I'm watching you now, don't go anywhere."
"I'm fine, don't worry, Sister Ling Yan. Sister Yin Lian will not die in vain, and I will not make any mistakes again, but there are some things that I still need to confirm..."
"Not now, I want to see you calm down. If you go around looking for ghosts now, you are simply sending yourself to death."
Lu Ning raised her head and looked at Ling Yan, then nodded gently: "I won't do anything so stupid anymore. Being stupid once or twice is enough."
"Then, I'm going to ask someone now... go and change your clothes." Ling Yan looked at Lu Ning's bathrobe that was stained red with blood again and added.
"Okay." Lu Ning behaved very well.
Ling Yan was still not at ease. She stood at the door and shouted twice before returning to the room. She was relieved to find that Lu Ning had already changed into another bathrobe and was sitting on the bed.
