...I don’t know how long it took before Zhang Fan’s vision gradually became clear. He got up from the cold ground and looked around, only to find that he was in a room full of putrid smell.
The temperature in this room is very low, very cold, like being in an ice cellar, making people shiver from the cold.
"Where...is this place?" Zhang Fan shook his head and his brain became a little clearer.
"This is a haunted house with blue tiles and white walls." Qi Riye explained.
"Haunted house?" Zhang Fan's breath was stagnant, and his face instantly became gloomy.
"Where are the ghosts?" Zhang Fan took out the purple gourd and golden halberd from the system backpack and expressed caution.
As long as ghosts dare to appear, he will resist without hesitation.
"I was scared away by you just now..." Qi Riye said in a calm voice.
"Run away? Forget it, it doesn't matter. It's better for me to go out and find a safe house now."
"Since the Pomo Demon has attacked me, I should take precautions in advance.
"With my current strength, if I want to deal with the resurrected earthbound spirit in the safe house, how likely is it to be successful?" Zhang Fan thought of the information revealed seven days and nights ago, that is, every time he kills an earthbound spirit in the safe house, he will Obtain a soul-binding rope.
Collecting all eighteen soul-binding ropes can completely trap the Soul Demon to death.
"If you open the red box, I can help you kill all the earthbound spirits in every safe house." Qi Yiye still used the same old tone and tempted Zhang Fan to open the red box.
"There's no rush to open the box. You answer my questions first. And if you want me to open the box, you need to show me sincerity."
"Without sincerity, it's hard for you to impress me." Zhang Fan tied the purple gourd with a hemp rope around his waist and sneered in a low voice.
Don't even think about opening the red box. If the box was opened, would I still be alive?
"I've already told you that the moment I successfully survive, I will help you get free. I know you are anxious, but don't be anxious yet..." Zhang Fan tilted his head. He moved his neck and made a crisp sound of crackling bones.
At this moment, Qi Ri Ye suddenly fell silent. It is thinking about the authenticity of Zhang Fan's words. Now, after spending a short time with Zhang Fan, it discovered that Zhang Fan was not completely trustworthy.
For example, the ghost who promised to sacrifice to it has not yet fulfilled its promise.
"I will help you survive as much as possible." Qi Riye said after being silent for a while. But now it has fallen into the hands of Zhang Fan, and its power is sealed by the box, so it cannot even change its host. Now it has no way out and can only continue to trick Zhang Fan into trying to open the box.
"This is the right thing. Only if I survive can you have hope. If I die, you will be trapped and die here." Zhang Fan raised the corners of his mouth and showed a bright smile.
...After walking out of the haunted house, Zhang Fan came outside and walked on the street for nearly a few minutes before he came to the left and right intersection.
In addition, Zhang Fan also discovered that after leaving, the Pomo Demon has not yet appeared to attack him again.
This surprised Zhang Fan. Could it be that the person who is more unlucky than me is very powerful and difficult to kill in a short time?
Because it is difficult to kill, the Pomo Demon Teng cannot do anything.
"Take the fork on the left. There is a safe house at the end." When Zhang Fan was hesitant, Qi Riye reminded him.
Hearing this, Zhang Fan looked towards the road on the left. This road is brightly lit, with dazzling street lamps shining brightly, dispelling all the darkness on the street.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Fan was stunned for a few seconds, and finally chose the left path. If he had not consulted the black leather manual before and knew that Qi Riye could only tell the truth and not lies, Zhang Fan might still have doubts about its words.
Along the road on the left, Zhang Fan moved forward, deeper and deeper. After walking nearly a few hundred meters, his brows suddenly stood up and his steps gradually stopped.
Just because he saw several cold corpses on the roadside. These corpses were all male, wearing clothes unique to the Fuso Kingdom. It seemed that they were all survivors of the Fuso Kingdom who participated in the maze scene.
I don’t know what happened to them, but they all died here. After seeing their bodies, Zhang Fan suddenly smelled an extremely disgusting odor at the same time.
The stench seemed to come from rotten meat that had been spoiled in the summer and was highly rotten. Seeing this scene, Zhang Fan immediately closed his eyes.
At this time, he had roughly understood where he was. If his prediction was correct, he should have returned to that terrifying Yin-Yang path.
I didn't expect to go around in circles and run so far, and finally come back here. Obviously, the few survivors who died just now should have all been killed by the terrifying woman squatting on the ground.
"There is a ghost on this road that will die if you see it. If you want to avoid its killing pattern, you only need to close your eyes." Qi Riye reminded.
In fact, Zhang Fan already knew how to avoid it without it reminding him. So he closed his eyes tightly and walked forward steadily and cautiously.
After walking for an unknown distance, Zhang Fan opened his eyes nervously until he felt that the temperature around him had become much warmer.
Looking around, he breathed a sigh of relief when he found that there were no street lights around. It was really dangerous. If he hadn't reacted in time, he might have died right now.
Zhang Fan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and continued walking forward. It's strange to say that he really didn't see the shadow of the Pomo Demon along the way.
"Did the Pomo Demon leave?" Zhang Fan looked at the red box in his hand and asked in surprise.
"It encountered resistance from some survivors, and due to this resurrection, its strength was not fully restored, so it retreated early, but it will come back two days later."
"When the time comes, everyone will be killed." Qi Riye said slowly, answering Zhang Fan's doubts.
"You mean, I will be safe in the next two days?" Zhang Fan looked happy and asked.
Regardless of what will happen if the Pomo Demon comes back, at least he must ensure that he is safe these two days.
Two days should be enough for him to collect the soul-restraining sounds in the safe house. As long as the eighteen soul-binding ropes are gathered together, even if the Soul Demon returns, what is there to fear?
"Yes..." Qi Riye said.
"Okay, that's clear."
"How far am I from that safe house?" Zhang Fan looked into the distance and found that there were no buildings around, only dry trees, which looked extremely desolate and remote.
"After one thousand meters, you will reach the safe house." Qi Riye responded.
"Still one thousand meters away? It's too far." Zhang Fan sighed, looked back behind him, and finally bit the bullet and quickened his pace.
It's the middle of the night now. If you stay in the wild for a long time, there is a high probability that you will encounter some ghosts hiding in the shadows.
So no matter what, it would be better for me to hurry up and rush to the safe house now. As a result, his pace quickened, and finally he turned into running. Zhang Fan ran straight away.
After a long time, Zhang Fan finally arrived outside the safe house. Without any hesitation, Zhang Fan raised his hand and pushed the door of the safe house open forcefully.
The house is quiet and peaceful, with dazzling lights, elegant environment, and warm atmosphere, which is in sharp contrast to the cold and weird outside.
This safe house is not just Zhang Fan, but there are two other survivors.
Both survivors are women. One is a young girl with a graceful figure and long black hair wearing white casual clothes.
Her appearance is not that outstanding, but she has a common face that cannot be found in the crowd.
As for the other woman, Zhang Fan was no stranger to her. In fact, she looked a little familiar. Because the other party turned out to be Shumi Muraki who left him and ran away alone.
Unexpectedly, this woman was still alive and managed to escape to the safe house. There were so many dead survivors on the road, but she survived.
Based on this, it is not difficult to see that this Shumei Muraki has some abilities and is not a simple person.
When Shumei Muraki saw Zhang Fan walking into the safe house, she was obviously stunned, her breathing became much faster, and the depths of her eyes were filled with disbelief.
"You are still alive? How is this possible... I remember that you were obviously..." Zhou Meimunshu stood up, his words full of shock and horror.
You know, Zhang Fan was captured by the terrifying white-clothed ghost before, and there was no chance of him escaping.
Just when Zhou Meimunshu was shocked and speechless, she inadvertently glanced at the top of Zhang Fan's head.
You don’t know this by looking at it, and you’ll be shocked when you see it. The bloody words that had been flashing and beating above Zhang Fan's head disappeared at some point and returned to normal.
The absence of the word "bloody" means that Zhang Fan no longer attracts the hatred of ghosts. It can be seen from the side that Zhang Fan no longer attracts the hatred of ghosts, and his situation has become much better. Finally, he no longer has to worry about being killed by terrible ghosts.
"Are you surprised that I'm not dead? Are you disappointed?" Zhang Fan narrowed his eyes and did not give Zhou Meicun a good look.
If Shumimurasuki had been willing to help him at that time, he might have escaped from Shirai's clutches long ago.
Why are you being hunted in such a panic?
"No, no, no...friend, what are you talking about? We are all grasshoppers on a rope. How could I curse you to death?"
"Seeing that you can survive, I am happy for you from the bottom of my heart." Hearing this, Shu Meimurashu's expression changed, and he quickly stood up and explained with a smile.
She was extremely respectful in her speech and behavior, and kept her attitude very low, as if she was afraid that Zhang Fan would target her because of what happened before.
