"We must not let it cover the cargo box, otherwise we will all die!!!"
Su Qian narrowed her eyes, and without saying a word, she took out an upgraded version of the turquoise candle from the system backpack and quickly lit it.
But when the underworld candle was lit, it was burned down in an instant.
Seeing this scene, Su Qian's expression changed drastically. She originally thought that the candle in Chu Chu's hand went out because it was soaked by the lake water in the cargo box, but looking at the situation now, it was obviously not for this reason.
It was because the salesman's supernatural level was too high that even the upgraded version of the Ming Zhu was not qualified in front of him. The moment he took it out, it burned up and went out.
"Old Immortal, let's see if we can break this place?!" Su Qian shouted anxiously.
But......
Sai Laoxian did not respond to her.
Not only did he not respond, even all the summoned ghosts around him did not respond.
I saw that almost all the ghosts that had been summoned had their eyes closed tightly and were immersed in the pitch-black lake water motionless. They were in a state of deathly silence like the surrounding spirits that emerged.
"What should we do next?" Chu Chu did not look at Su Qian, but looked at the scary clown beside her and asked.
At this time, among their ghosts, only the Scary Clown was still awake and had not fallen into a state of death. From this, it can be seen that her supernatural level has exceeded imagination and reached some incredible level. Even the salesman's supernatural power , unable to suppress her.
"This is the supernatural power of Wishing Lake, not the ghost's method. A hundred years ago, Wishing Lake once selected some so-called apostles to go to Yang's world. If my guess is correct, this ghost should be the original one. One of the apostles later recovered from terror and turned into a ghost with the consciousness of a living person..."
"The way to leave here is either to try to communicate with Wishing Lake and make a deal, or to show a higher level of supernatural power and forcibly break the shackles here."
The scary clown in the posture of a woman in a white dress explained. Her face was extremely calm, without joy or worry, as if she was telling a trivial matter.
It seemed that the horror level here was not taken seriously by her.
"Can you do it if you take action?" Chu Chu frowned and asked in a low voice.
"I can only play an auxiliary role for you. Due to certain rules, I cannot take action directly. Some things... the key is to rely on yourself..."
The woman in the white dress thought for a moment and said.
"You still have the last eighteen seconds. Once the time comes, this ghost will seal this place, and then all of you will be imprisoned here forever." The woman in the white dress thought for a while and then added, It was like reminding Chu Chu and others to make a decision as soon as possible.
"I understand." After hearing this, Chu Chu nodded silently, then turned to look at Su Qian and said hurriedly: "The lake in this cargo box is the supernatural power of Wishing Lake. If we want to leave here, we must either try Communicate with Wishing Lake and trade with it, or find a stronger supernatural power to tear this place apart, otherwise we will all die in eighteen seconds."
"Wishing Lake?" Su Qian looked stunned after hearing this.
They had been exposed to the existence of Wishing Lake for a long time when they first rescued Zhang Fan.
Unexpectedly, this place would be the magical place of Wishing Lake.
Observing again at this time, she immediately woke up. The surrounding lake water was indeed flowing with the breath of Wishing Lake.
"Then what are you waiting for? I will start communicating with Wishing Lake right now."
According to the previous method of communicating with Wishing Lake, Su Qian took out a stone engraved with the words Wishing Lake from the system backpack, threw it directly into the dark lake water below her, and then began to wait for the response from Wishing Lake.
However, after waiting for three seconds, the wish did not appear as expected, and it seemed that they were unwilling to respond to their call.
Looking at the external scene that was disappearing little by little in the distance, Chu Chuliu frowned slightly, looked at the woman in the white dress suddenly, and asked: "The Wishing Lake seems unwilling to respond to us, so do we have any other options next?"
The ghosts they summoned now have fallen into a state of death, and are unable to resist the supernatural power of the wishing lake in the cargo box.
Although there are other ghosts in the ghost frame, it is estimated that even if they are summoned, they will not have much effect and they will fall into the same dead state.
So Chu Chu began to ask the fearful clown for new methods.
"There's nothing I can do." The woman in the white dress shook her head, saying that she had nothing to do.
But soon, she changed the topic and said: "Call the manager leading the team and try to get her to come and rescue you, but the probability of success is less than 30%."
"You have the last five seconds." The woman in the white dress sighed and reminded.
Looking at the rapidly disappearing scene outside, perhaps when the entire container plunges into darkness, it will be the time when they are completely imprisoned.
"By the way, I still have the wishing monkey's paw. Maybe I can use this amulet to take us out of here." Su Qian had an idea and hurriedly took out a shriveled black three-fingered monkey's paw from the system backpack.
This is the terrifying wish-making monkey's paw. Once you make a wish, you can immediately fulfill your wish.
Maybe they can use this amulet to fight against the supernatural beings here and escape.
"It's useless. The body of the wishing monkey's paw is part of the supernatural puzzle of Wishing Lake. Its supernatural powers cannot be used within the scope of the supernatural existence of Wishing Lake." The woman in the white dress glanced at Su Qian and directly pointed out the shortcomings of the wishing monkey's paw.
Once upon a time, the original body of the wishing monkey's paw was the supernatural puzzle piece of Wishing Lake, which was dismembered due to some reasons.
As a result, all subsequent parts of the wishing monkey's paw will be unable to be used after encountering the supernatural power of the wishing lake, and thus become ineffective.
"Qianqian, it's useless, the wishing monkey's paw can't take us out of here." Chu Chu sighed and hurriedly stopped Su Qian.
The existence of the fearful clown can only be seen by Chu Chu herself, while Su Qian is completely unaware of her.
"Then what should we do?" When Su Qian heard this, she felt like an eggplant beaten by frost, and her whole body instantly withered.
"Shout Feng Hui, she is the new maze manager, she is the only one who can come and save us now." Chu Chu shouted anxiously.
At this time, fifteen seconds came, and the last external scene in the distance completely disappeared.
After all, they were a step too late.
In an instant, the entire cargo box was filled with cold darkness.
Before Chu Chu and Su Qian finished speaking, their bodies began to become stiff and numb.
They are being eroded rapidly by the supernatural power of the Wishing Lake in the cargo box, and they may really die here before long.
"Feng Hui..." As her consciousness continued to fall into darkness, Chu Chu called out Feng Hui's name in a weak voice.
At the same time, in the outside world, Feng Hui, who was shrouded in a terrifying aura, suddenly stopped and seemed to have something in her heart, looking towards a certain direction among the countless waves of inhabiting spirits.
Just at a certain moment, she seemed to hear someone calling her name.
After being stunned for a second, Feng Hui calculated with her fingers, her expression changed, and she immediately galloped in that direction.
only......
After she had traveled less than a few hundred meters, a long-haired woman wearing a red wedding dress and a red hijab appeared in front of her.
The woman in the wedding dress was shrouded in a rich supernatural power, and the terrifying coercion spread, so heavy that in the surrounding area, almost no host spirit dared to take a step closer, as if they were all instinctively afraid of the terror of the woman in the red wedding dress. .
The woman in wedding dress stopped in front of Feng Hui and waved to her from a distance.
With one move, Feng Hui felt like the world was spinning. When she came to her senses, she found herself in a dark, vast and cold city.
The sky and the earth in this city are filled with ashes, and traces of terrifying dangerous aura are falling from the ashes.
Every high-rise building in this city, every floor, and every window is glowing with yellow light.
And behind the window, stood a woman wearing a red wedding dress.
Seeing this scene, Feng Hui's face was solemn, and there was a hint of fear in her eyes.
The host spirit in front of me is very fierce. It can be said that it is not an exaggeration to describe it as terrifying.
She just sensed that Chu Chu and Su Qian were in a life-and-death crisis. If they didn't rush over as soon as possible, they would be in serious danger.
We need to get rid of the obstruction of this host spirit as soon as possible.
However, if she wanted to defeat the woman in the red wedding dress, it would be difficult for her to do so in a short time.
For a time, the situation couldn't help but fall into a dilemma.
...
In the seller's cargo box.
The consciousness of Su Qian and Chu Chu became more and more blurred and darker, and soon they came to the last moment of death.
"Are you going to die here...I'm so unwilling..."
"Zhang Fan...we can't go back..."
Chu and Chu looked unwilling, finally closed their eyes and shouted out the last words in their hearts.
These last words are full of reluctance and bitterness.
But……
The moment they called out Zhang Fan's name...
Outside the cargo box, behind the waves of countless inhabiting spirits, among the seven terrifying figures, the terrifying old man who had been sitting on the black Taishi chair trembled slightly, and then he shook a few times, then suddenly stood up and stepped forward. With stiff steps, he slowly walked towards the countless waves of host spirits.
Every step he took caused the surrounding space to distort violently and create ripples.
A trace of extremely terrifying horror suddenly spread from his body to the whole place.
He slowly walked into countless waves composed of parasitic spirits.
Wherever he passed, all the inhabiting spirits that stood in his way instinctively moved backwards, not daring to block his steps at all.
As the old man continued to go deeper, more and more inhabiting spirits began to scatter and retreat.
They were all instinctively afraid, as if they could not bear the pressure brought by the old man.
This old man was really too scary. Just by simply walking into the wave of inhabiting spirits, he was so frightened that the surrounding inhabiting spirits did not dare to come even close.
The old man walked very slowly, but very fast.
In just a few seconds, he arrived in front of the salesman carrying the cargo box on a pole.
At this time, the salesman looked stiffly at the scary old man who appeared. The moment he saw him, the salesman immediately began to back away, slowly turned around, and left straight away.
It seemed that even he was instinctively afraid of the coming old man.
The old man took a step slowly down, his body teleported, and strangely came to the front of the salesman. He raised his hand and grabbed his throat. With a slight exertion of his palm, the salesman fell into a state of deathly silence. any movement.
At the same time, the old man suddenly opened the cargo box that the seller was carrying on his shoulder with his backhand. The next second, he flicked his sleeves, and a terrifying supernatural aura suddenly descended, releasing all the ghosts and monsters contained in the box. .
At the same time, even Chu Chu and Su Qian inside were able to see the light of day again.
However, at this moment, Chu Chu and Su Qian were in a state of unconsciousness, lying face down on the ground motionless.
The old man's eyes did not look at Chu Chu and Chu Chu, but looked at the woman in white dress standing next to Chu Chu with an expressionless face.
After staring at it for two seconds, the old man withdrew his cold and stiff eyes, then pinched the salesman's neck, turned around and walked away.
Watching the scary old man leave, the woman in the white dress had a look of shock, even disbelief.
Perhaps outsiders could not see the old man's true appearance, but as a fearful clown, she could see him clearly.
"It turns out...it's him..."
"How could it be him?!"
This man was once abandoned by a fearful clown, and now when we meet him, he has turned into such a terrifying appearance.
With just one person, he can suppress all the host spirits here.
What happened to him during this time?
…
The scary old man did not choose to leave, but continued to walk somewhere in the direction of the wave formed by the parasitic spirit.
Wherever it passed, all the host spirits began to avoid it.
There were even some parasitic spirits that could not avoid him. The moment they touched the terrifying old man, they suddenly let out a howl of pain, and their entire body was wiped out by the unknown supernatural force, without even being dismembered.
It's a pity that this scene was not witnessed by anyone, otherwise they would have been scared out of their wits on the spot.
After all, this scene is so incredible that it subverts imagination.
Less than ten seconds passed before the scary old man arrived at the depths of the host spirit.
This is where Feng Hui and the woman in the red wedding dress met each other.
In this area, the woman in the red wedding dress still stood stiffly, maintaining a motionless posture.
The scary old man pinched the salesman with his right hand, slowly raised his left hand, pointed it at the woman in the red wedding dress, and waved slowly.
With a wave, the woman in the red wedding dress suddenly howled in pain, and the red hijab on her head fell off, revealing her true appearance.
This is the face of an ordinary woman with a livid complexion and no emotion at all.
She noticed the old man's approach, and out of the instinct of the host spirit, she barely made any pause and began to retreat stiffly, as if she was also afraid of the terrifying old man.
But the old man didn't seem to let her go, and waved towards her again.
This wave of his hand produced a terrifying supernatural effect that caused the surrounding space to deform and twist.
At this moment, in the eyes of the woman in red wedding dress, she saw a tall and burly figure appearing strangely behind the old man.
That figure is indescribable, impossible to imagine, impossible to fight, or even impossible to look at.
Rather than saying that the old man was waving, it was better to say that the figure was waving.
Its existence cannot be seen by anyone.
Only when she reached her current supernatural level could she barely catch a glimpse of that terrifying figure.
If you compare your supernatural power to a firefly, then the figure behind the old man is like the blazing sun.
The instinctive fear unique to the host spirit became stronger and stronger, and the woman in the red wedding dress began to retreat crazily and began to escape desperately.
It seems that if he doesn't escape quickly, he will be dismembered by the old man here.
However, with the wave of the figure, the extremely terrifying supernatural power immediately swept the woman in the red wedding dress into the package. The next second, she let out a shrill howl, and her entire body was wiped out of thin air.
It was as if there was some power that forcibly eliminated her from this space and time.
After the woman in the red wedding dress disappeared, Feng Hui also escaped from the terrible city.
She was in a state of embarrassment, and it was obvious that some kind of unimaginably dangerous battle had just occurred.
Seeing the scary old man standing in the distance, Feng Hui frowned and immediately became alert the next moment.
Because the coercion emanating from the old man made her feel a strong sense of life and death crisis.
He can kill himself.
The old man turned his back to Feng Hui, making no sound or making any movement.
This situation only lasted for less than two seconds. The old man slowly turned around and cast a cold look at Feng Hui.
At the same time, after Feng Hui saw his appearance clearly, her whole body froze in place and her breathing became extremely rapid.
"You are...Zhang..."
Feng Hui's eyes widened with disbelief on her face, but before she finished speaking, she found that she couldn't move, as if she was suppressed by a more terrifying force.
Another two seconds passed, and the old man looked away, pinched the salesman, and began to walk slowly towards the distance.
From beginning to end, he never said anything to Feng Hui.
It seems that they came here just to help them get out of trouble.
It wasn't until the old man's figure completely disappeared from this area that the terrible pressure that suppressed Feng Hui gradually disappeared.
At this moment, Feng Hui's eyes were red, and she chased forward desperately, repelling the host spirits until she broke into a very deep area, but she could not find the old man's figure.
The old man disappeared and I don’t know where he went.
Seeing that the search was fruitless, Feng Hui looked gloomy and had no choice but to give up, then turned around and rushed towards the area where Chu Chu and the others were in danger.
"Maybe... it's the old man's supernatural power that caused the illusion..." Feng Hui murmured to herself, comforting herself.
Gradually, her figure disappeared just as quickly.
...
The scary old man did not choose to return to the other six figures, but walked step by step towards the ghost ship stranded on the beach.
Soon, he stepped onto the ship's plank and came to the interior of the ship.
The interior area of this ghost ship is very vast, with many rooms.
The air is filled with the law of death. Any living being who dares to come here will be killed instantly.
Darkness, silence, and despair enveloped the interior of the ship.
Everything is so cold and weird.
But all the terror became meaningless in front of this old man.
In every room of the ghost ship, there are terrifying incarnations wandering around.
Their supernatural powers almost all surpass those of the parasitic spirits outside.
If we say that those inhabiting spirits outside are Yang... the great ghosts in the world.
Then the host spirit here is equivalent to gathering more top ghosts in a supernatural puzzle.
The old man grabbed the salesman and walked deeper into the cabin.
Getting closer and deeper.
After an unknown amount of time, the old man's footsteps slowly stopped.
He raised his head stiffly and looked ahead at the end.
At this time, there stood a simple and old wooden door.
This wooden door was filled with stinking blood, and it was pitch black inside. I didn’t know where the door led behind. I could only hear waves of dull painful roars echoing from it, as if there were countless evil spirits suffering inside the door. Suffering unimaginable torture.
The old man watched for a long time, then took another step and came to the wooden door. He raised his hand and threw the salesman in his hand.
In just a split second, as soon as the salesman entered the wooden door, green flames burned all over his body.
The flames burned him beyond recognition, and he let out a heart-piercing low howl.
The old man stood in front of the door, motionless. His stiff and cold eyes seemed to penetrate the darkness of the wooden door and look into the deepest part of it.
And there is a huge world in the depths that is burning with green flames.
This world is divided into eighteen layers, and there are many inhabiting spirits on each layer.
It seems to represent the eighteen levels of hell.
The bodies of all the host spirits inside were ignited by green flames.
They are struggling, trying to find a way out.
I don’t know how long it took, but finally a terrifying host spirit successfully walked out of the depths of the city and found a way to the outside world.
Following the ghost's instinct, he slowly walked to the wooden door, took one step forward, and finally successfully invaded reality from the eighteen levels of hell.
At the same time, the terrifying supernatural beings were released like a tide and wreaked havoc on the surroundings, making the road inside the cabin even more eerie and terrifying.
This is a tall man covered in darkness and wearing a black suit. His expression is stiff and numb, and there is no emotion on his face. In his left hand, he is still holding a blood-stained sling, like an executioner in ancient times. The executioner of punishment.
Although his level of terror is not comparable to that of the woman in the red wedding dress just outside, it is still a hundred times more powerful than the average host spirit.
When he saw the old man, the tall man immediately retreated out of instinct, unwilling to meet him.
Before he could move too much, the scary old man took action again, grabbed his throat, and threw him back into the bloody wooden door with a backhand.
After the tall man's figure returned to the eighteenth level of hell, his body was suddenly covered and burned by boundless green flames. After a while, he fell into a state of deathly silence again, unable to get up.
Perhaps, if he wants to recover again, he will have to struggle for a long time before he can do it.
The old man's face was expressionless, and at a certain moment, he let out a deep sigh in a low voice.
This sigh was full of hoarseness and unpleasantness, as if it had passed through endless years and came from ancient times, without the slightest emotion included.
After another long silence, the old man slowly stretched out his right hand, grabbed the rotten door handle of the bloody wooden door, and then forced the entire wooden door to close.
However, at the moment when the door was about to close, the old man's body froze suddenly. For some unknown reason, he unconsciously took a few steps back, and his right hand that was holding on to the door handle also weakly dropped.
In the end, the old man did not choose to close the wooden door, but turned around and left.
Not long after he left, a new terrifying body spirit struggled to escape from the eighteen levels of hell, and the invasion came to reality.
...
Seeing the thick black mist covering his body, Zhang Fan looked at his empty right hand with a smile.
He was only one time away from being able to strangle this John Stankin to death nine hundred and ninety times. Unfortunately, before he could do it again, the other person was instantly teleported away by the black mist.
"Friend, I hope you can have such good luck next time." Zhang Fan smiled, feeling that the next time he met the other person, he would have to continue killing him no matter what.
It's time to leave.
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Fan's figure was shrouded in black mist and teleported away.
This time the purgatory level scene is finally over.
The rewards available are not very generous. This may be because the Night City scene is at the lowest level of thrilling level from the beginning, so even if the difficulty is raised to the purgatory level by default, there is still no corresponding change in the rewards after completing the mission.
Zhang Fan did not stay too long in the courtyard at the transit station, but returned directly to the human world.
At 4:43 in the morning, Zhang Fan woke up from the big bed in the secondary bedroom.
When he woke up, he didn't pick up his phone to check the time as usual, nor did he choose to continue sleeping. Instead, he got out of bed with a smile on his face, opened the door, and came to the living room.
There was no sound or light in the huge living room. The surroundings were silent and extremely quiet.
Maybe it was late at night and everyone was sleeping.
Zhang Fan stood there stunned for a few seconds before coming back to his senses, smiled slightly, and walked straight towards the master bedroom.
Opening the door to the master bedroom, he slowly came to the bed.
On the bed, the three girls, Ma Ling'er, Jiang Xiaohua, and Bai Chenxi, were sleeping deeply.
Standing in front of the bed, Zhang Fan's eyes showed no emotion as a living person, and there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth.
However, this smile was extremely stiff and cold, as if it was forcibly disguised.
Thirty seconds later, the time came to exactly 4:44 in the morning.
At this moment, Zhang Fan slowly raised his right hand.
At this moment, his right hand was enveloped by the rich white mosaic aura.
Five bloody eyes slowly opened from the back of the five-fingered hand.
The blood-colored eyes were full of malice, and the eyeballs inside were rolling, staring at the three girls, Jiang Xiaohua, who were sleeping soundly on the bed.
At the same time, the power of the Dream Demon spread rapidly, and a ferocious mouth full of fangs opened silently in the palm of Zhang Fan's right hand.
Zhang Fan smiled brightly, but made no sound.
He slowly grabbed his right hand, which was covered by the power of the dream demon, towards Jiang Xiaohua, who was closest to him.
Getting closer.
Soon, Jiang Xiaohua’s face will be grabbed.
At the moment when he was completely close, Zhang Fan suddenly showed struggle in his eyes, and the expression on his face gradually became painful and distorted.
It's like struggling with oneself and resisting oneself.
Zhang Fan gritted his teeth and tried his best to restrain his murderous impulse to attack Jiang Xiaohua, and did not want to grab his dream demon's right hand towards Jiang Xiaohua.
As if sensing some kind of danger approaching, Jiang Xiaohua suddenly opened her eyes, and a flash of blood spurted out from her eyes. She hurriedly looked around. After looking around, she didn't find the master bedroom. There were other people, but the three of them were sleeping in the bed.
Moreover, she also discovered that the bedroom window, which was originally tightly closed, was inexplicably opened for some unknown reason.
Jiang Xiaohua jumped out of bed, came to the window, closed the window gently, and scratched her head with a suspicious face, a little confused.
After being stunned for a moment, Jiang Xiaohua stretched, then returned to the bed and continued to sleep.
...
At this moment, the outskirts of Dadong City.
Zhang Fan held his head in his hands and fell to his knees wailing.
He was breathing heavily, veins bulging on his face, and large amounts of cold sweat dripping from his forehead, as if there were several people fighting in his body.
Blood flowed from Zhang Fan's seven orifices, and he let out a low roar. His whole body was crazy, like a terrifying beast, full of aggression.
He struggled for a long time and suffered for a long time. Finally, he could no longer endure the tremendous physical and mental pain. He took out the Guipi sword directly from the system backpack and stabbed it hard into his chest.
As soon as he inserted it, he felt a chill in his heart.
But not a drop of blood spilled.
This scene looks extremely weird.
A long time passed, and the distorted expression on Zhang Fan's face gradually solidified, and he finally calmed down and stopped struggling too much.
"I'm sorry...I can't look back..."
"If I don't leave... I will kill you all..."
Zhang Fan murmured in a low voice, tilted his head, and fell to the ground, motionless.
At this time, Zhang Fan's heart beat slower and slower until it slowly stopped.
At this moment, he died.
In other words, he died a long time ago.
He died at the moment when he sacrificed himself to the Wishing Lake.
"[At this point, the tender chapter of this book ends. All emotions are cut across the board. In the follow-up, we will focus on dungeons and supernatural plots. If you are interested, come and discuss the plot with Butterfly.]"
