"According to my speculation, the invisible ghost, mirror ghost and possessed ghost are all ghosts that originally existed here. There are internal conflicts between the invisible ghost and the possessed ghost. The mirror ghost is relatively independent, but there should be a certain connection. The reason Even Fang Min, who was possessed on the first day, still translated the method of sending away the invisible ghost, hoping to use our hands to get rid of the invisible ghost. However, although the ghosts have internal conflicts, they are still united in chasing people. , it’s best not to look for loopholes in this area.”
"Why do you say that?" Ling Yan asked.
"The blackout can only be caused by a physical possessed ghost, which shows that ghosts are also sparing no effort to create conditions for everyone to kill."
"Yes, on the day you died, these two ghosts teamed up to create a double kill." Lu Ning added.
“How does this help us now?”
Hong Zehao was a little anxious.
"The identity of the ghost." Yin Lian replied, "If it were just a ghost killing game, the information in this house would be too rich. Obviously something happened to the Tang family, but what happened to their people after the accident? What happened to Tang Yuanzhen? How did you die? Could it be that... you just turned into a ghost, the earth-bound spirit of this villa?"
"Of the three ghosts, which one do you think is Tang Yuanzhen?" Ling Yan asked.
"Probably neither."
This time it was Lu Ning who answered.
"It seems that you have also found some information. In fact, among the three ghosts, the invisible ghost has a very fixed walking range, that is, it has been patrolling the corridor. What if this is her fixed route? Or, it was originally Are the people here given this mission?”
A name instantly crossed Lu Ning's mind.
"Arin?"
This name appears in Tang Yuanzhen's diary a lot. Tang Yuanzhen would entrust this person with responsibility for many things. Originally, Lu Ning thought this might be a loyal old servant in the villa, but now that he thinks about it...it might be controlled by Tang Yuanzhen. A ghost underneath!
"Alin, or any possible ghost servant. If this identity is confirmed, then there will be a trace why the possessed ghost has a grudge against it."
"This is actually not too difficult. There are not many characters who have appeared in the history of Tang syndrome that we know about. Joseph, Tang Yuanzhen, and Tang Yuexin are included. These three are almost the main ones." Ling Yan said.
Lu Ning took the opportunity to briefly tell Yin Lian about the discovery of the basement diary.
Yin Lian glanced at Lu Ning's expression slightly and said: "I seem to know where the problem lies... but it has nothing to do with our current crisis. I am just saying this to let you know that the collection in your hand may be targeted. The props are specially designed to target a certain ghost."
"The dagger is aimed at the stand-in ghost." Lu Ning said, "So, Sister Yin Lian, can you deduce who the stand-in ghost is now?"
"Tell me about the death list and today's situation."
Lu Ning and Ling Yan are relatively isolated from everyone, and this is Hong Zehao's introduction.
"Since the morning, how many of you have been together until they were blocked by the black fog?" Yin Lian confirmed with Hong Zehao, thought about it, and said, "Among the people who did not come downstairs, let's see if there is anyone who has been replaced by a ghost. Of the people killed, if there are any, the people upstairs who are still alive are the most suspect, and if not, the people downstairs are the most suspect."
"ah?"
"On the other hand, if my theory is correct, two people will die in the room upstairs. It's safe for us to go there now."
"A...safe?"
"The invisible ghost has already killed someone; the black mist chased the person away, either already started or is still chasing; Uncle Zhang's apprentice in the corridor has probably died; plus if there are really two people upstairs He is dead, and we still have a safe period before Yang Na's ghost is successfully transformed."
Yin Lian immediately got out of bed, moved her hands and feet a little, and walked towards the door. Lu Ning's three brains were still following the train of thought, and they subconsciously followed Yin Lian's pace.
"Um...Yin Lian, why are you trying so hard to help us?" Hong Zehao opened his mouth and asked this question.
"My original idea was to let as many people escape as possible, but because of me, this game that should be easy has been turned into hell, so I have to do something," Yin Lian said. People didn't quite understand what he said, so he rushed up to the second floor and started knocking on the door from room to room.
Soon, Gongsun You walked out of the room tremblingly. The old man had been too scared to walk around these days. Now he suddenly saw Yin Lian and almost had a heart attack. Lu Ning and Ling Yan were supporting him. It took him a long time to explain before he finally recovered.
In another room, the woman who was originally with the white-collar workers was lying on the bed with a strange smile on her face and a hugging posture. Her body was stiff, and she had obviously been dead for a while. Finally, as Yin Lian said, the body of another young band member whose throat was cut by the Mirror Ghost was found in a single room.
"Why two!" Hong Zehao looked at the young man's body with disbelief in his eyes. It's not that he doesn't accept someone being killed, but everything just like what Yin Lian said is a bit chilling.
"In a power outage environment, there are almost no conditions for mirror ghosts to kill. This condition can only be created by other ghosts. The most convenient one is of course the stand-in ghost." Yin Lian pulled a sheet to cover the young man's body, and walked towards it without stopping. outside the door.
"We didn't see a doctor during this trip. Of course, Mr. Gongsun might be a stand-in. I can't tell."
Gongsun You, who was following the crowd, turned pale: "I...maybe I'm a stand-in?"
"I'm just raising all possibilities."
At this moment, Yin Lian seemed to know that time was getting tighter and tighter. She no longer cared about other people's emotions and kept talking as she walked:
"So in addition to guarding against the Stand Ghost, you must also pay attention to preventing the Stand Ghost from hiding in the dark to create favorable conditions for the Mirror Ghost. In addition... eh?"
At this time, a group of people happened to pass by the stairs leading to the hall, and happened to see the couple walking back from outside, covered with rain, supporting each other.
"Hey! Are you okay?" Hong Zehao shouted immediately.
The couple looked up because it was too dark to see clearly, but they recognized Hong Zehao's voice and quickly answered: "Uncle Hong! Brother Yong is dead!"
"Wei Boyong is dead?" Hong Zehao was shocked, and Yin Lian next to him sighed.
"To save us!" the man shouted with a cry, "we burned the hut together with the ghost's body, but I don't know if it's of any use!"
"Huh? Wait...did Yang Na die after lunch?" Yin Lian suddenly turned her head and asked the people around her.
"Yes, we weren't in the room at that time... Oops!" Lu Ning also realized a question.
This was originally an obvious thing, but in the midst of the ghost chase and all the hustle and bustle, no one actually thought about it carefully.
"...Three hours were compensated." Yin Lian immediately raised her voice, "Everyone, pay attention to your surroundings! Yang Na may have turned into a ghost!"
Everyone was startled and their spirits became tense again. However, the ghost did not appear. Yin Lian led the people downstairs carefully. The protective shield was still there. After walking in, people felt a lot more at ease.
"Yin Lian?" the woman in the couple asked timidly.
"I'm temporarily resurrected. I'm not a ghost. You don't have to be afraid if I can come in." Yin Lian explained casually, still looking around.
"What should we do next?" Hong Zehao has become extremely trusting in Yin Lian in this short period of time.
"Tomorrow is the most dangerous day... There is probably no need for the doctor to hide, because the number of ghosts will be equal to the number of people, and every ghost will come out to kill them openly, but this is also our chance. Lu Ning With the dagger in our hands, if we can kill the stand-in before it attacks, we will have one more chance of survival. In addition, the collection in our hands should also come in handy."
When Yin Lian was about to explain the issue of the distribution of the collection, Zhang Fuyuan came out of the corridor with his apprentice. Both of their faces were full of exhaustion. Although they were not being chased by ghosts, today was the biggest blow to them.
"Lao Zhang, are you okay?"
"No... the ghost didn't chase me. We ran out for a while and didn't see a ghost." Zhang Fuyuan sighed, pulled the apprentice beside him, and the two of them walked towards the protective shield.
And the change only happened in a moment.
In the dense darkness of the corridor, a mud-like black shadow suddenly rushed out, penetrating from the bottom up under Zhang Fuyuan's ribs, and out of his chest, bringing out a column of blood.
Things happened so fast that no one reacted. Zhang Fuyuan even turned his head and glanced at his apprentice with some confusion.
Then, his body fell heavily to the ground, completely lifeless.
It's safe.
After the evil ghosts demonstrated their killing efficiency, no one could feel any joy at being safe for half a day. On the last day, Nine Ghosts and Nine People, this is almost an unsolvable dead end.
"The only remaining flaw is the stand-in ghost." Yin Lian became the only one who spoke at this moment. "Everyone works together to help Lu Ning kill the stand-in ghost, so that at least one person can survive..." At this point, she hesitated slightly. After a while, he stood up, pulled Lu Ning and walked upstairs.
No one asked them where they were going. Although no one didn't believe Yin Lian now, they also knew that no matter how capable Yin Lian was, she couldn't save everyone from this situation.
Who is the one who will die? If only one person can survive, who is it?
There was suspicion in everyone's eyes.
On the other side, Yin Lian took Lu Ning to the balcony on the second floor.
"Sister Yin Lian, you pulled me here because..." Lu Ning leaned against the door and subconsciously crossed her arms around her chest. Seeing her like this, Yin Lian didn't take it seriously. She walked into the rain, grabbed the railing and looked at the rain scene outside.
"Let me take a look at the outside world again, even though it may be fake."
"……Fake?"
"As long as you live, you can see for me whether my judgment is correct." Yin Lian tilted her head, "But I don't want you to survive by taking the lives of innocent people. That would It became an irreparable mistake.”
Lu Ning's heart suddenly tightened.
