Most of Tang Yuanzhen's diaries have beautiful and neat handwriting, with few typos and other problems. However, in the period when Joseph returns, it is recorded that Joseph helped Tang Yuanzhen teach the younger members of the family, guided Tang Yuexin in managing family affairs, and prepared for the Tang family to slowly escape from the mysterious circle. There are various scratches on the paper in this part, as if someone had marked something here before. However, the scratches were so messy that they couldn't tell what was written here.
"It can be seen from this that Tang Yuanzhen trusts Joseph very much, but the person who made the scratch probably disagrees." Lu Ning deduced.
Ling Yan thought for a while and said: "What if it was painted by Joseph? If Joseph has a problem, he would deliberately doodle here to laugh at it. It is not incomprehensible."
"If he really has a problem, why would he still mock the dead after the Tang clan was wiped out... I don't understand... Wait!"
Lu Ning suddenly thought of something, grabbed the notebook page on the table and stuffed it into Ling Yan's hand, stared at the parchment for a while, and slowly smiled.
"What did you find?"
"That notebook page is a talisman. Tang Yuanzhen completely broke up the ghosts used in experiments here, and extracted the memories inside for transcription... As long as it is torn into pieces, it can directly impact the spirit and make the ghosts Lost in those painful memories!”
Ling Yan glanced down at the diary, which happened to be the part where Tang Yuanzhen recorded his memory stripping experiment.
[This is probably the last achievement in my life, using the pain of ghosts to attack. If this method can be promoted, I think ordinary people will not be infested by evil ghosts. Thanks to Joseph's help, I was able to complete this experiment with my remaining energy.
Anyone who inherits this method from the Tang clan must not use it to make huge profits, not use it to blackmail the masses, not rely on being alone and arrogant, and not be arrogant because of being a stranger. The method of fighting poison with poison is not an evil path, but it is difficult to follow the right path. It only punishes the evil spirits and does not touch the good souls. Benefiting the common people is not limited to me alone, but is encouraged by all comrades in the world. 】
"...Lu Ning, do you feel..."
Ling Yan hesitated for a moment and continued.
"...This Mr. Tang, does he have a kind of... naivety that is not in line with his status?"
"Ah, I've noticed it a long time ago."
Lu Ning slowly pulled out the quill from the ink bottle and replied with some emotion.
"Tang Yuanzhen is not naive, he is the kind of person who hates evil and has a strong sense of justice. However, there is no exact standard for justice in this world, and even he himself has no expressions about privately executing spies in the family. That is to say His justice is only the boundary he draws for himself."
"But he does have clear boundaries."
"Yes, he can achieve the goal of 'bringing great wisdom to the world'. Countless studies on occult science are aimed at discovering the mysteries, so that people will not be harmed by demons, ghosts, and evil monks. However, he also ignores Well, the reason why mysticism has such a name is because of the mystery." Lu Ning smiled, turned around and faced Ling Yan, "Speaking of which, Sister Ling Yan, what do you think of the world outside the villa? Don’t you have some idea?”
Ling Yan's eyes widened slightly: "You mean... this is not just a setting for a survival game?"
"I guess so."
At this moment, two different message prompts came from the mobile phones in their hands.
Unconsciously, a night has passed, and the crucial dawn of the sixth day has arrived.
"Well, Sister Ling Yan, as I said before...if my guess is accurate..."
"...I will help you and escape from this disaster together."
The time was dawn the day before.
——"The situation could be worse, Sister Ling Yan."
--"What did you say?"
——"In such a death game, there is no reason for us to release so many vacant places to compete. Nine people...don't you think this number is too strange?"
——"Strange? What do you mean?"
——"Sister Ling Yan... I hope you can help me. I will say something next, which may very well be what we are going to face next. I... don't have the confidence to survive on my own."
In the laboratory, Ling Yan turned on her phone. She didn't know what kind of emotions she was feeling in her heart. Even her hands, which had always been steady, were trembling.
[Sincerely:
Dear tourists, heavy rain is coming, please be prepared to prevent waterlogging. Late at night and dawn are the times when demons are dancing wildly, so those who are still wandering around should be careful behind them. The last and most exciting moment is about to come. Are you ready?
Additional tips about ghosts:]
——"Seven days, thirty people, three ghosts, killing three people every day. Under this premise, how can we kill everyone?"
[6. The previous entry has announced ghost information, and correspondingly, certain conveniences will also be provided for ghosts. 】
——"How to increase the number of killings by nine in the most natural way? Tang Yuanzhen's diary gave me a reminder... that is time."
[The first convenient condition is the heavy rain in the last two days. The outdoor lighting conditions will be reduced to a minimum, which is enough for the invisible ghost to launch an attack. 】
——"On the sixth day, or in other words, five days after being killed by a ghost, that person can be resurrected as a fierce ghost."
[The second convenient condition is that people killed by ghosts will become new ghosts after one hundred and twenty hours and abide by the previous ghost constraints. 】
——"In this way, the number of killings on the sixth day is six, and on the seventh day... it is nine."
[The third convenient condition is that the new ghost has randomly given new abilities and killing restrictions, which will not be announced in the following information. 】
Ling Yan raised his head, showing a look of astonishment.
[Seven (will be unlocked at the end of the sixth day)
I wish you all a happy journey! 】
At the same time, in the hall upstairs, a crystal ball hit the floor with a crisp cracking sound.
Uncle Xing held the bottle containing red quicksand tightly in his hand. Around the table, a barrier that was almost imperceptible to the naked eye had been formed, and just outside the barrier, a black mass seemed to spread from the torn space. The thick fog is lingering, and behind it is the main house door that has been penetrated by a round hole of the same size.
Around Uncle Xing, Wei Boyong and his couple, as well as Yu Zhisong and Hong Zehao, gathered together. Hong Zehao did not have a wooden sword in his hand, and the candle in the rotten hand continued to have a faint blue color.
On such a gloomy morning, not a single lamp in the hall was lit!
"It's a ghost!"
A loud roar broke through the almost dead atmosphere. Zhang Fuyuan rushed over from the basement with his two apprentices. The power outage was discovered only in the morning. Zhang Fuyuan had to rush over to check the situation. The others had not yet gone downstairs. But as soon as the information came in the morning, the attack followed, and there was no time to react!
Zhang Fuyuan and his two apprentices ran for their lives in the corridor. The wooden sword was handed over to him for safety, but it seemed to be of no use now.
The generators were destroyed. In the basement, Lao Lin, another follower of the upstart, fell to the ground in a hug with a weird smile. Zhang Fuyuan didn't hesitate at all when he saw Lao Lin's body. He turned around and ran away with his two apprentices. But as soon as they returned to the corridor, they saw the wall begin to slowly squirm!
"Old Zhang!" Hong Zehao shouted, "Come back to us quickly!"
Zhang Fuyuan immediately responded loudly: "Wall! There is a ghost inside the wall!"
Hong Zehao was shocked, but Lao Xing just shook his head slowly. The road in the corridor became extremely long when the ghosts were chasing after them. Zhang Fuyuan never thought that he could run so fast. In fact, the three of them were already feeling a little exhausted at this moment.
"ah!"
The one who was a bit rash among the two apprentices suddenly stopped, as if he had hit a wall, and was knocked backwards. The other, more calm one, immediately reached out to pull him away. Zhang Fuyuan didn't expect this sudden change. He wanted to retract his body, but rushed out a few steps, opening a distance of about two meters in an instant.
"Invisible ghost! Prick it! Prick it!" Wei Boyong almost shouted at the top of his voice.
The calm apprentice turned his eyes, and then was pulled to a halt. He tugged his companion's arm with force, forced him to turn half a circle, bypassed the blockage of the invisible ghost, and threw him towards Zhang Fuyuan. Then he ran in the opposite direction towards the depths of the corridor.
"Come back here you little brat!"
Zhang Fuyuan waved the wooden sword randomly while glaring at his apprentice and shouting, but in just a moment, the apprentice's figure disappeared into the dark and deep corridor.
"Master! Master! Senior brother is gone! Senior brother is gone!" Another apprentice beside him cried bitterly while pulling up Zhang Fuyuan. The two of them used their last strength to run into the scope of the protective shield and collapsed on the ground.
Yu Zhisong walked over and said comfortingly: "My condolences."
"I...I've only had two apprentices in my whole life." Zhang Fuyuan's eyes were red, and he took out a cigarette tremblingly. He didn't light it, but just held it in his hand.
"We all feel bad."
Yu Zhisong lowered his head. Last night, when everyone was afraid of each other and gathered in the hall, the young man from the crew band stood too close to the window, giving the Mirror Ghost an opportunity. No one thought that the shadow that appeared on the window when illuminated by light at night could also create the conditions for the murder of the mirror ghost. Although everyone was united again after the incident, such unity became of little use after the arrival of this morning's message.
"All of us are going to die."
It seems like a long time ago, someone said such a sentence. Yu Zhisong leaned on the table weakly and repeated the sentence in a murmur.
No one would expect the protective shield formed by the crystal ball to last for two days. Judging from the ghost's wandering position, the radius of the protective shield is only five meters, which is not too big or too small. Wait until the time of the protective shield is over. , probably another person will die.
"Don't give up so early!" Hong Zehao shouted loudly, looking around warily, "Let's take advantage of this time to find a way out first and see where it is easier to escape! This ghost's mobility seems to be similar to that of humans. !”
However, there was not much response from the exhausted people.
