Lu Ning's body couldn't bear it anymore.
In the past few days, she had almost suffered serious injuries continuously. She had to stay up all night before the fever was gone. When she came back, she was hit on the head by a white-collar worker. Then there was heavy rain and the coldness of ghosts. Even now, she still feels dissatisfied. Support your actions.
However, after the ghost easily used her previous plan to kill two people, Lu Ning was about to lose her temper.
"Let me take a look."
Ling Yan immediately took Lu Ning's hand, checked her pulse, and then reached out to press her forehead.
"The heartbeat is very fast. It's too cold and I can't tell if she has a fever, but she definitely can't continue in this state..."
"I can continue."
Lu Ning gasped and touched his head. There was a trace of blood seeping out of the bandage again. The wound on his head seemed to have opened again, but the pain made his dizzy head sober up.
"The situation is not bad...let's go to that room..."
Ling Yan had no choice but to support her, and the five of them walked upstairs and came to the room where the stand-in had entered before.
This is a single room with only one single bed placed near the window. A rope was now tied to the bedpost, and the other end of the rope hung from the window. Looking down from the window, the rope just hung to the ground.
"Is it here to lay out ropes?"
Ling Yan continued to check the rest of the things in the house with confusion, but found nothing.
"The stand-in has no special mobility and can only go downstairs by ropes like humans..." Lu Ning walked to the window, put her hands on the window sill and looked outside. There was still a line on the ground that was obviously dragged by something. The traces are about one or two meters long.
"Drag marks..."
There was grass below. It was impossible to see footprints or anything like that from this distance, but there was an obvious drag mark, which was quite strange.
"It seems that the ghost ghost ran away from here, and then Yu Zhisong chased him out." Ling Yan could only admit this after searching to no avail.
"..."
Lu Ning held on to the window sill and slowly sat down on the ground.
"Lu Ning!"
Gongsun You, who was closest, quickly stepped forward and helped Lu Ning up. At this moment, Lu Ning suddenly let out a low laugh.
"Is this a coincidence, or is it destined?"
"oh!"
Gongsun You let out a cry of pain, stumbled back a few steps, and stopped only after hitting the wardrobe. There was a dagger stuck in his heart, and the whole thing was submerged, leaving only the handle outside.
This sudden change immediately shocked the other three people, and they all looked at the two of them in surprise. At this time, Lu Ning seemed to have regained some of her energy. She leaned against the wall with one hand to support herself and stood up slowly. Her eyes when she looked at Gongsun You were filled with chills.
"You..." Gongsun You raised a finger to Lu Ning, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"The biggest difference between you and me is that you always like to play with humans before killing. Isn't the game of cat and mouse very interesting?"
Lu Ning tilted her head and her tone became a little crazy.
"However, if I want to kill someone, I will do it immediately - whether it's arrangement or inducement, I never delay... Mr. Mensard, are you surprised?"
Upon hearing this name, everyone's eyes fell on Gongsun You again.
"It seems I was careless."
Gongsun You's expression suddenly changed. He was no longer the trembling and dying look that had been stabbed. He regained his balance and a mocking smile appeared on his face.
"But you really dare to take action. Even the friends who searched with you from the beginning did not hesitate."
"If I don't take action, I'm afraid I won't have a chance. When you create an opportunity for us to separate next time, Gongsun You will disappear forever. By the way, there will be false news that a certain ghost has killed someone... You guys That’s the plan, right?”
"Is it a plan, or is it just going with the flow?" The stand-in spread his hands and shook his head with some regret, "Actually, we had a lot of fun, and we didn't make any deliberate plans. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been stabbed by you. Take this stab, isn’t it?”
"I said I would send you to hell."
"Then your persistence is really admirable." The stand-in did not show any sign of failure at all. Instead, he fiddled with the dagger on his heart with great interest, "This thing can indeed only seal me for a period of time, but I The killing quota is already full, so it’s useless if you kill me.”
"It's no use?"
Lu Ning smiled.
"You are the only ghost responsible for planning the murder. Without you, can the remaining ghosts really work together?"
"...Ah, I guess I can't." The stand-in responded to Lu Ning's words with a tone of regret that couldn't be more fake.
"But your so-called goal of surviving together is just a joke. The rest of the time is almost our world."
Lu Ning was silent.
"In the end, after all the effort to find me, you should have done it earlier. You...have probably found the method?" The stand-in smiled lightly and pointed at Lu Ning's tightly held left hand. .
"...I should have discovered it earlier."
Lu Ning walked towards the stand-in ghost and stood in front of it.
The once kind and kind old man has now been replaced by ghosts inside.
However, the old man's remaining words still remained in Lu Ning's hands.
She opened her hand and showed a piece of paper that was already somewhat wrinkled. On it was written a line of last words in extremely bold fonts:
[The old man is waiting for you to come down in hell! 】
"Grandpa Gongsun trusts me so much, of course I will not let him down."
When the stand-in ghost heard this, he smiled strangely, and then his body froze.
Lu Ning lowered her hands and turned to look at the three people in the room. There was neither joy nor sadness on her face.
"They're all gone."
And someone will die tonight.
The countdown has reached fourteen hours.
There are two new ghosts, the Invisible Ghost, the Black Mist, and the Mirror Ghost who haven't taken action yet.
It was starting to get dark outside, and the few bright candles on the table were the only light in this environment. Although everyone's mobile phone can illuminate, the light of a flashlight is not as good as the light of a candle in giving people a sense of security.
Yu Zhisong and Hong Zehao were still missing. Four people searched around them in the afternoon, but could not find them.
The two people who hold the Bagua Wooden Sword and the Soul-Calling Directory are not easy to die, but it is very unsettling to not show up for such a long time. Lu Ning didn't have many useful props at the moment. The ghost probably didn't find a chance if he didn't attack.
"Are we still going to find them?"
Ling Yan is always a little worried. It's not that dark outside now, but it will be completely dark in an hour, and there will be no chance.
"We can't help even if we go."
Sister Xu's voice was muffled, and she sniffed from time to time. Although the severe cold indoors has dissipated somewhat, it still feels like winter, and gradually some people begin to show symptoms of a cold.
At this moment, a soft sound suddenly came from the direction of the window.
A window that was originally closed suddenly opened, and the wind and rain outside immediately blew in, and even one candle on the table was extinguished.
"what happened?"
Ling Yan stood up immediately, and was immediately held down by Lu Ning beside her to prevent her from passing.
"The windows are all locked, there is no reason to open them suddenly..."
Over there, Uncle Xing immediately picked up a candle and inserted it into the rotten hand, and the firelight turned blue in an instant.
"really……"
Lu Ning crossed her hands and stared at the candlelight, calmly.
"The substitute ghost has found a helper who can create murderous intentions for the mirror ghost on his behalf, so he directly decided to kill him."
Bang!
The second window opened, right behind Lu Ning.
"Let me guess...the newly born ghost ability is not really random, but has something to do with the dead?"
The third window continues to be opened.
"The first person is Hei Wu, whose intention is to protect himself. Fang Min corresponds to the wall ghost, and Yang Na corresponds to the shadow ghost. However, I am not familiar with these people, so I don't know their personalities and hobbies... But Shi Songhe I know Pang Lingling relatively well."
From the first day she entered the main house, Pang Lingling showed a strong interest in the furnishing style of the house. Although she suppressed it later, Lu Ning still remembered it.
"So you can control things in the house? Or... can you control dead objects?"
At this time, all the windows had been opened, and the cold wind poured into the room, but stopped before approaching the bodies of the people at the table.
"You can't kill someone."
Lu Ning said.
A circle of red quicksand surrounded the four people, delineating the two worlds inside and outside the circle.
Ghosts cannot set foot on the red quicksand. Not only the ground, but also a certain area above is an absolute restricted area for ghosts.
It is precisely for this reason that this ghost can only behave in the room, but it can do nothing to the four people gathered in the hall.
This bit of red quicksand has also consumed the last inventory. In theory, it is the safest to spread out a surface that can allow people to stand. However, as mentioned before, there is not so much red quicksand to squander, so Lu Ning only uses this as a The final finishing touch came to be used.
At this moment, a figure appeared outside the door.
Those were not the two people we were waiting for, but a group of people who were all wet. A thunder flashed past, vaguely illuminating several familiar faces in front of them.
Zhang Fuyuan, a nouveau riche, a band duo, a man with dyed hair...
The deceased walked stiffly into the hall with the same look as when he died. Except for a few people who didn't even see their bodies, including Yin Lian, including Shi Song and Pang Lingling, two people who should have turned into ghosts, everyone had mirrors hanging on their hands and bodies and slowly approached the long table.
Even after so many days of being frightened by the Heavenly Ghost, the scene in front of him was still terrifying and inexplicable.
"Don't move! They can't get close to us!" Lu Ning shouted loudly, stopping Sister Xu who was already trying to escape.
"It wants to exploit these bodies."
Ling Yan glanced at several corpses created by the invisible ghost with some disgust. Their limbs were broken and they moved with twisted and funny steps. Some of them even rolled and crawled forward. Such behavior was simply an insult to the deceased. Insufferable.
However, the last corpse that walked in after these corpses was the real killing move.
Hong Zehao's burly body appeared outside the door. He was still holding a wooden sword in his hand and his eyes were wide open. Seven or eight iron pipes were pierced through his body. Blood was still flowing slowly down the iron pipes. He had obviously died just now. Looks like soon.
