"People are afraid of unknown things. The original three ghosts are certainly scary, but their abilities and weaknesses are already known to us. Even if we can't deal with them, we can still avoid them."
Lu Ning said this at yesterday's simple strategy meeting.
"Starting from yesterday, or even earlier, ghosts will start to rely on the help of stand-ins, and even look for traitors to kill people. So the three ghosts that originally existed are not actually a problem. The focus is on the three new ghosts that will confuse us in the future."
Black fog, ghosts in walls, and ghosts in shadows.
Everyone basically understands their killing methods or movement methods, and today's primary goal is to find the killing restrictions of these three ghosts.
There was not much time, so the trio with the highest combat effectiveness took over the task first. As for the method, it is also very simple. As long as people actively look for ghosts, the ghosts will definitely take the bait.
"They are very good at chasing after them. There will be certain dangers when we use this, but in this way we can form a local six-on-three situation. The stand-in ghost will definitely hide, and the mirror ghost will not take action easily. Such a situation The only one we need to guard against is the Invisible Ghost."
In a single room, more than a dozen candles were lit, illuminating the whole room. The couple stayed in this room, and the hand of decay was still in their hands, so they could judge whether the ghost was approaching this room at any time. Room.
At the same time, Lu Ning and Yu Zhisong also quietly came outside.
Although it is a heavy rain, the rain is blocking more than just humans.
"The bad weather conditions obviously want to keep us in the house, so we will do the opposite and put the battlefield outside the house. It is very likely that some conditions outside will limit the killing of ghosts. As long as we catch it once, we will Can find their weaknesses.”
Of course, this needs to be tested with life.
With Joseph's pen, Lu Ning is not afraid of the ghosts outside chasing her. On the other hand, Yu Zhisong has also prepared a catalog for summoning ghosts and can summon ghost bodyguards to protect him at any time. The two of them are also the safest among the remaining people. The two of them naturally took on the role of support.
Hong Zehao had already rushed down the stairs and ran into the back of the main house through the back door. The black mist immediately dispersed into wisps of smoke. At this time, Lu Ning had also taken a detour and ran over. She immediately stopped when she saw the change in the mist. pace.
"Uncle Hong! Don't run indoors! It seems like it can't maintain its shape in the outside world!"
"learn!"
Without further ado, Hong Zehao gestured with his thumb and ran directly towards the shooting range.
As for Lu Ning, who was less than ten meters away from him, the black fog ghost paid no attention to him. The black smoke in the sky slowly drifted away along the route Hong Zehao left, and soon disappeared.
At this time, loud gunfire also came from the main room.
The battle between Uncle Xing and the Ghost in the Wall has lasted for about a quarter of an hour. Even though he was able to be repelled by bullets, the Ghost in the Wall failed to get closer to Uncle Xing. The two of them circled around the kitchen and confronted each other, which also made Xing Uncle gradually figured out the offensive tactics of the ghost in the wall.
It...can't leave the wall.
With the advantage of being able to pass through the wall, the ghost cannot leave the wall. Even if it rushes out of the wall to attack, its lower body is still connected to the wall. Although it can also sneak into the ceiling, the ground seems to be a restricted area, and the distance of the body from the wall is also limited.
Maybe it would be difficult for others to deal with this ghost, but for Uncle Xing, he really slowed down the ghost and firmly attracted its hatred.
On the other side, Ling Yan's place is a little more difficult to handle.
The shadow ghost's black mud-like "body" is really conspicuous, and its movement is a little slow. But other than these, it has no other weaknesses exposed along the way. Ling Yan even had to turn back once to get rid of it. It hooked back and continued running... It changed from a ghost chasing people to a person luring ghosts. But the time this ghost attacked and killed Zhang Fuyuan really left a big shadow on everyone who witnessed it, so much so that Ling Yan was still careful to guard against its sudden plot.
In this tug of war, two hours passed peacefully. The original three ghosts seemed to have a tacit understanding and did not appear. Only the three new ghosts were still attacking relentlessly.
Lu Ning circled around and roughly determined the location of the three ghosts. Although the absence of the substitute ghosts put a little pressure on himself, maintaining combat effectiveness was the most important thing now.
The initial plan was to take two hours, after which the three people responsible for pulling away the ghosts should be safely picked up. At this time, the power of the spirit summoning directory would need to be used.
Yu Zhisong began to recite a mantra in a low voice in the lobby on the first floor.
As the whispers gradually became ethereal and gloomy, a chill also descended on the main room, and the patterns on the soul-calling catalog gradually became blurred. Finally, driven by a strange force, Yu Zhi Song opened another pair of eyes.
The ghost's eyes shared vision with him.
It was not a scene that humans could understand. Meaningless lines and chaotic colors mixed into disgusting broken pictures in the vision. A large amount of incomprehensible information filled the mind, making it impossible to think too much, chaotic and violent. , hatred, resentment——
Stopped abruptly.
Just the moment of consensus when the contract was established made Yu Zhisong break out in a cold sweat and his head hurt. He rubbed his temples and looked to his side.
There was no physical presence there, but his perception could tell him that the summoned ghost was here. The uncontrollable murderous intent and malice threatened to contaminate the surroundings, leaving Yu Zhisong with no doubt that if he relaxed even a little bit, he would be torn into pieces by it on the spot.
"Is the summoning completed?"
Lu Ning walked in through the damaged door with some trembling. She had been in the rain for a long time and her face was pale from the cold. Now she looked like a drowned rat. However, Yu Zhisong, who also left the house, was not much better. In fact, due to the yin energy brought by summoning ghosts, the water on his body even showed signs of solidification.
"Done, let's go pick them up."
"No, you need to adjust yourself first. You look very bad now."
If Lu Ning was still pale, Yu Zhisong was now blue. Summoning ghosts obviously doesn't come without paying any price. Yu Zhisong now looks as if he hasn't rested for several days, and his cheeks are slightly sunken.
"Ha, I'm fine... At least this can last for a day, otherwise it will be a big loss." Yu Zhisong wanted to grin, but the muscles on his face were a little stiff. He twitched twice and stopped trying. He raised his head and looked up. He looked to the side and ordered: "Go to the kitchen and drag the ghost in the wall."
"Is it really okay?"
"You have to believe me."
Yu Zhisong pulled his face hard, rubbed his hands and walked towards the kitchen.
Before reaching the door, Uncle Xing walked out of the kitchen.
"Uncle Xing, is it safe inside?" Lu Ning asked.
Uncle Xing nodded and gestured for paper and pen. Yu Zhisong took out his mobile phone and turned on the handwriting mode and handed it over.
[The movement of the ghost will cause obvious changes in the wall. The attack speed is relatively fast, and the body can be elongated, but only the upper body can stick out of the wall, which can reach a distance of about three meters. In addition to walls, ceilings can also be penetrated, but not the ground. 】
After Lu Ning and Yu Zhisong exchanged views on what Uncle Xing had written, they looked at each other and nodded in unison.
"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Xing, but we have to ask you to come with us to pick them up."
Zhang Fuyuan's apprentice and Gongsun You were arranged to hide in a room on the second floor. Neither of them had anything on them, so the risk was naturally the highest. However, Lu Ning and others wanted to test the ghost's weakness and couldn't tell the difference between life-saving things, so they had to find a place to hide and call for help at any time. However, the ghost didn't seem to be in a hurry to kill the incompetent target at this time. When the three people rushed upstairs, they were still safe and sound.
"You are finally here." Gongsun You let out a long breath. He was old and frail, and he had the lowest chance of surviving when faced with a fierce ghost, but he didn't know what kind of luck allowed him to live until the last day. For this reason, he naturally didn't want to die.
"Didn't the stand-in come?"
Both of them shook their heads. Lu Ning couldn't help but look worried when she saw this. She didn't expect that the stand-in wouldn't even show his face when he had such a big advantage. This was completely different from when he said harsh words before.
Then, they picked up the couple who were in the candlelight room, and the seven of them returned to the hall together.
At this time, Ling Yan also happened to return, and Yu Zhisong immediately asked his fierce ghost to force the shadow ghost to leave, and rescued Ling Yan from being chased. Not long after, Hong Zehao, who was all wet, appeared at the gate. Before he entered, he grinned:
"I tried that black smoke! It can't kill people outdoors!"
This sentence was said happily, but Lu Ning's expression changed: "Have you tried it? Uncle Hong, what did you use to try it?"
Hong Zehao ruffled his hair and said with a proud look on his face: "Hey, I see it is hanging behind me and not attacking. I just stand there and wait. Guess what...it is circling around! It is not attacking me!"
"But this is too dangerous!"
Lu Ning was anxious: "Uncle Hong, have you forgotten what we said yesterday? It doesn't matter if you try to tempt ghosts. Protect yourself first! You take such risks..."
"We have to take risks."
Hong Zehao interrupted Lu Ning's words with a wave of his hand.
"This is a battle of life and death. Since we have taken on the responsibility of testing, of course we have to do everything to the end. Lu Ning, you really want us to pay attention to a lot, but it is us who ultimately decide what to do. You can ask Ling Yan and Lao Xing. Let’s see what they think.”
Everyone's eyes fell on the other two people responsible for attracting ghosts. Lao Xing couldn't speak and was just smiling, while Ling Yan spoke.
"This is what we have decided a long time ago. We will try to see what ghosts can do."
"Sister Ling Yan, why don't you..."
"Lu Ning, this must be done. If we are timid and give up when we see something, our own judgment will be misled in the end. Now, at least the result is okay, right?"
Then, Yu Zhisong also said: "I actually think the same way. Lu Ning, you seek stability too much. I don't know why you are so concerned about safety now, but you have to understand that there is no safety at all now, don't take risks Just waiting to die."
"But if you take risks, you are more likely to die." Lu Ning turned her eyes to him.
"Yes, but at least it is our choice and our efforts. Although your judgments are correct, your response is too negative."
Lu Ning suddenly discovered that almost everyone had the same view.
