"No, what's wrong with you?"
"Did we say something taboo?"
Liu Chengfeng felt very strange about the change in their attitudes, as if he had said something he shouldn't have said.
Tian Xun's face was uncertain, and he exhaled a breath of turbidity after a long time.
"You... you are so unlucky!"
The two looked at each other, Ning Qiushui frowned and said:
"How to say?"
Tian Xun introduced the terrifying world mechanism behind the Blood Gate to the two:
"There are two types of ghosts in the Blood Gate... One is native-born. These ghosts are all earth-bound spirits. No matter how powerful they are or how deep their resentment is, when we complete our mission and leave the Blood Gate, our grudges with these ghosts will remain. That brings it to an end.”
"And the other kind...is more special."
"Although they are also restricted by the rules of the Blood Gate, they are not limited to one area. After killing all the local NPCs, they will go to other places to become monsters."
"This kind of ghost...is so resentful!"
"Usually, after the first blood gate meets it, the next blood gate will be related to its story!"
"And this kind of ghost blood gate story is more terrifying and has a higher mortality rate than ordinary blood gate stories!"
After a pause, Tian Xun's tone contained a touch of unspeakable sympathy.
"I don't know what evil you have done... I encountered such a ghost at the first bloody gate. No wonder only two people survived in the end."
"But I guess you can only live here. I'm not cursing you... Go back and write a suicide note and explain your funeral affairs!"
"Say a proper goodbye to your family and friends."
Tian Xun let out a long sigh, collected the dishes and chopsticks for the two of them, and carried them to the kitchen.
Only then did the two of them realize why their attitudes had changed so dramatically.
Because in their eyes, the two people on their side are already dead!
"Really, you look down on us so much?"
"If you can survive that ghost's hand the first time, you can survive the second or third time!"
"They think we won't survive the next Blood Sect, so let's show them our lives!"
Liu Chengfeng was swearing, and although he still tried his best to appear dismissive, Ning Qiushui could hear the subtle tremor in his voice.
After washing the dishes, Tian Xun took the two of them to their room in the house.
Unexpectedly, this group of people did not live in the villa.
Instead, he lived in a bungalow with a garden behind the yard.
The environment here is beautiful. Although it is lonely, it does look much better than that dark villa.
Tian Xun handed the keys to the two of them, told them some things, and went to the villa to watch TV.
While they also had TVs in their rooms, the one in the villa had a much larger screen.
Since Ning Qiushui and Liu Chengfeng had something on their minds, they did not take the bus back to their original world. They wanted to wait for the head of this hut, Liangyan, to come back and ask him about the next red door.
But until nightfall, they didn't see anyone coming back from the villa.
The two had no choice but to wait another day.
In the middle of the night, Ning Qiushui felt that she couldn't sleep, so she went to the yard to relax, but she heard whispers coming from the villa.
He raised his eyebrows and went to the back door to eavesdrop.
What came from inside were the voices of a woman and a calm man.
Ning Qiushui recognized the man's voice as Meng Jun.
And that woman... had never heard of it.
It should belong to Bai Xiaoxiao.
"Bai Xiaoxiao...are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"What, you don't believe me?"
"You know the relationship between Yan and Mang, right? If he knew that Mang's death was man-made, I'm afraid Yan wouldn't let it go!"
Bai Xiaoxiao was about to say something when she suddenly turned her head, looked at Ning Qiushui's position and said coldly:
"Who's there?"
"come out!"
Ning Qiushui walked out of the darkness.
Seeing that this guy was a newcomer in his hut, the coldness on Bai Xiaoxiao's delicate face receded a little.
She wears lipstick.
so popular.
Like a phoenix in flames, it is very different from her name.
"It's so late, why don't you go to bed?"
Ning Qiushui didn't mind the other party's rejection and only said:
"Aren't you guys sleeping too?"
He sat generously on the sofa and looked at the brazier in the center.
As he joined, the two suddenly stopped talking.
"May I have your name?"
In the end, it was Bai Xiaoxiao who spoke first.
"Ning Qiushui."
"Well, how does it feel to open the first bloody door?"
Ning Qiushui opened an unopened bottle of cold beer on the table and took a sip of it.
"To be honest, it's not very good."
"Almost died."
Bai Xiaoxiao said "Hmm" absently, and comforted her very perfunctorily:
"The world behind the blood door is like this. If you don't pay attention, you will lose your life. But after passing the first door, the rest will be much better..."
Before she finished speaking, Meng Jun on the side said coldly:
"There's no back door."
Bai Xiaoxiao came back to her senses and said in surprise:
"Meng Jun, what do you mean?"
Meng Jun stood up.
"Ask him yourself, I'm going to bed."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Bai Xiaoxiao looked at Ning Qiushui, who described the first Blood Gate story to her in detail.
Of course, Ning Qiushui hid some of the facts.
The facts about that mysterious anonymous letter.
Suffice to say, they stumbled upon the rules of death.
After listening to Ning Qiushui's description, Bai Xiaoxiao's eyes changed again and again.
That's a very complicated look.
There is appreciation, sympathy... and even some regret.
"Meng Jun and Tian Xun are right. The woman in red behind your first bloody door is indeed not an ordinary earth-bound spirit, but an extremely difficult and terrifying ghost... Fortunately, this is your first copy. , its abilities and killing laws are extremely limited by the blood gate, and you two are brave and careful, and found a way out in time, otherwise you two would never be able to come back alive!"
"And the story behind your next bloody door should be related to this female ghost."
"If you can handle it cleanly, you might be able to bring back a ghost weapon from behind that bloody door."
Ning Qiushui was stunned.
"Ghost weapon?"
Bai Xiaoxiao turned her hand over, and a wooden comb stained with blood immediately appeared in her fair and petite palm.
"Like this kind of thing."
"Generally speaking, things in the Blood Gate cannot be brought out, but there are powerful props in certain Blood Gates with high difficulty. These props are extremely precious and have different functions."
For example, with this wooden comb of mine, as long as you comb your hair, the ghost will not be able to locate the person whose hair is being combed within one minute. "
"These ghost weapons can greatly improve our survival rate behind the Blood Gate!"
Ning Qiushui thought deeply about the blood jade he brought out from behind the first blood door.
Things in the Blood Gate cannot be taken out of the Blood Gate.
Except ghost weapons.
It seems... that blood jade is also a ghost weapon.
Seeing Ning Qiushui's appearance, Bai Xiaoxiao thought that he was frightened by the next bloody door, so he hesitated for a moment and said:
"Forget it, there aren't many people left in our hut. The quality of the several batches of newcomers who came recently was really poor, and they were all wiped out in the first three doors..."
"Next week, if you enter the second blood gate, I will take you through it for free."
"And... you do have potential worth cultivating."
After Bai Xiaoxiao finished speaking, Ning Qiushui suddenly remembered that Tian Xun had told them before that Bai Xiaoxiao was taking the newcomers through the Blood Gate outside.
"Can I still take this thing with me?"
Ning Qiushui was a little surprised.
Bai Xiaoxiao nodded.
"The newbie can let the old man carry him through the first six blood gates."
"There are even dedicated 'studio's for this."
"But this kind of old-to-new recruitment generally requires huge rewards. After all, we are all human beings. Even if we are experienced, there is still a risk of overturning when entering a low-difficulty blood gate..."
Ning Qiushui nodded to express understanding.
Since you are risking your life to make money, it is normal to charge more remuneration.
After all, money is something external to the body, and it is not so important compared with life.
After figuring this out, Ning Qiushui rested in the hut for a night, then got on the bus and returned to the world outside the mist.
As soon as he got home, he turned on the computer.
A friend named 'Mole' sent him a message.
The message was brief -
[Cannot find it, there is no record of that anonymous letter at the post office]
[The people at the post office told me that the anonymous letter I wanted to check was... a non-existent letter]
[But don’t worry, I will continue to help you pay attention]
Ning Qiushui squinted her eyes.
The mole is his friend.
He is a person who is very good at finding things.
"I can't even find you..."
Ning Qiushui murmured to herself.
Ding dong——
While he was lost in thought, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Ning Qiushui was disturbed by the ringing. He stood up and came to the door and opened it.
It's a neighbor, a fat aunt in her fifties named Mu Cui.
She was wearing a floral dress, as if she had just finished shopping, and there was still some sweat on her forehead. She handed a letter to Ning Qiushui with a smile.
"Qiushui, your letter."
Ning Qiushui took the letter and her eyes suddenly changed.
"Aunt Mu, where did you get this letter... from?"
Mu Cui took out the key to open the door and replied casually:
"Just the mailbox below..."
"You kid, you are always so careless. Remember to check your mailbox every time you come home..."
With that said, she opened the door and went into the house.
Ning Qiushui took the letter and closed the door.
He came to the sofa in the living room and sat down, looking at the letters on the coffee table, his breathing became rapid.
Second letter.
open.
Sure enough, it was anonymous again.
But this time, there is no prompt, just a photo.
And this photo made Ning Qiushui freeze on the spot!
This is actually... a photo of Bai Xiaoxiao!
It's also old and yellowed, as if it has been there for some time.
But the Bai Xiaoxiao in the photo was obviously about the same age as the Bai Xiaoxiao he saw!
The smile on her face is lifelike, and her lipstick has not been eroded by the traces of time, so gorgeous.
"Fuck..."
This time, even Ning Qiushui, who was always calm, couldn't help but curse.
This... is so weird!
He slowly turned through the photos.
His fingers trembled slightly.
On the back of the photo, there is also a sentence——
[She cannot die at your second door]
"really……"
Ning Qiushui's back was cold.
The guy who sent the letter...is watching him somewhere!
only……
Why did he have these photos, and why did he give himself a reminder?
What on earth is he going to do?
PS: 3100+. Yesterday I was working on the outline of the second copy. One chapter was missing. I will add three chapters this afternoon and send it out at 7-8pm.
