dagger

But it was too late. The red thread had already gone down the strong man's throat and into his body.

During the struggle, the man on the ground began to shake, and some people's attention was diverted.

The man swayed a few times on the spot, then fell to the ground with his head tilted back. The people around him were so scared that they stepped back one after another.

The man's eyeballs had disappeared, and countless red threads as thin as hair were twisting inside. His mouth was wide open, and his tongue was nowhere to be seen. Only a dark hole remained, with red light flashing from time to time. His nostrils and ears were full of red threads floating in the air, as if he was looking for something.

Seeing this, everyone took a few steps back, fearing that the red thread would touch them. After all, the strong man on the ground had the thread stuck in his throat and struggled for a long time but couldn't get free.

At this time, he was vaguely calling for help. The people present looked at each other, but no one offered to help. Seeing this, the strong man had to take out his own money and try again in turns.

However, gradually, the strong man felt very tired, and his movements slowed down. He knelt on his knees, with his head on the ground, and was no longer alive.

The people present were scared but didn't want to leave. After all, the "Cuckoo" was too powerful and they came here for it. Although the ferocity of the "Cuckoo" was beyond everyone's expectations, the group still didn't want to give up.

Some people, relying on the many props they have and their strong talents, are eager to try and step forward.

However, before he could touch the object in his hand, he saw the man lying on the ground suddenly tremble a few times, as if something was trying to break through his body, and his chest was shaking violently.

Before anyone noticed anything was wrong, a ball of red light emerged from the man's chest, jumped in the air, and then rushed towards the people around him.

The onlookers saw that the man on the ground had a big hole in his chest, but not a drop of blood flowed out. From the hole in his chest, it could be seen that his internal organs had long disappeared.

Looking at the devil-like ball of light, everyone seemed to have seen a devil. Some people fled in all directions, while others took out their own props and tried to trap it.

…

Li Ping'an had no idea what was happening on the deck. She was now wondering what Jiu Qi was trying to do.

At this time, Li Ping'an was locked in a gorgeously decorated bedroom with a thin silver chain tied to his feet. Looking at this typical configuration, Li Ping'an felt like he was being forced to keep a beautiful woman in a golden house.

After confirming that there was no one else in the house, Li Ping'an pulled the chain with her hand. She originally just wanted to test whether the chain was strong. Who knew that when she pulled it, a shrill scream suddenly came from the house, and the scream almost blew Li Ping'an's head off.

Li Ping'an quickly let go of his hand, and the screaming stopped abruptly. Li Ping'an scratched his ears with his hands, feeling that the sound was somewhat familiar.

For the sake of his ears, Li Ping'an didn't dare to pull the chain again. He had to search around the room to see if there was anything useful.

Just as Li Ping'an was searching, the sound of a door opening was heard. Li Ping'an thought it was Jiu Qi coming, but when he looked up, he saw it was a strange man.

The man looked to be about thirty years old, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, a well-fitting black suit, and a smile on his face.

Li Ping'an felt uneasy when she saw the smile. After all, the shadow left by Jiuqi on her was too big.

The man seemed to be very interested in Li Pingan and stared at her for a long time. "So it's you,"

What do you mean it's me? Do we know each other? Li Pingan thought to himself, he's really a psychopath.

Looking at Li Ping'an's puzzled eyes, the man seemed a little puzzled. Then he lowered his head to look at his clothes, touched his face, and suddenly realized, "It seems that you don't remember me."

"How about this?" The man took something out of his arms and put it on his face.

Looking at the familiar mask, Li Pingan took two steps back cautiously. After all, this was also a madman, the one who peeled off people's faces and fed them to octopuses.

Seeing that Li Pingan recognized him, the man put the mask back in his hand and asked, "Is my octopus dead?"

Although it was a question, Li Ping'an heard a sense of certainty in it.

"It's such a pity. I fed it a lot of food to make it so big." When saying this, the man emphasized the word "food".

Li Pingan was confused after hearing this. Wasn't she clear about what this thing was? After all, she was also the one mentioned by this person.

It's really a bad year. All the people I meet are crazy.

Seeing Li Pingan so defensive and resisting him, his hand even reaching for the bedside lamp, the man seemed very happy. "You don't like him? Then why don't you leave?"

Li Pingan was stunned when he heard this. Did she not want to leave?

Li Pingan couldn't help it, he raised his foot and shook the chain on his foot, and said sarcastically: "Are you blind?"

After hearing what Li Ping'an said, the man seemed to see the chain on Li Ping'an's feet. His eyes widened and he said, "How could he do this to you?"

"This is really wrong," the man said, walking towards Li Pingan, but stopped at the end of the bed. "Unfortunately, he and I are friends, so I can't let you go."

Li Pingan thought to himself, you lunatic, what are you talking about? Even if you let me go, I wouldn't dare to leave. Who knows where she will be thrown to and what animal she will be fed to the next second after the chain is opened.

The man seemed not to notice the wariness on Li Ping'an's face. He adjusted his glasses and said, "The octopus is dead. Didn't you get anything?"

Li Pingan narrowed his eyes slightly, afraid that he would ask him for something the next second, "No."

"That's such a shame. After all, a random item should be generated after the octopus dies."

"This octopus is very aggressive, and the props will also be very aggressive."

"It's such a pity that it just fell into oblivion." The man said as he walked towards the door, as if it was really a pity.

Li Ping'an knew that this person was definitely not a good person, but it was undeniable that his words gave her some ideas.

After making sure that everyone had left, Li Ping'an lay down on the bed. Since he couldn't escape for the time being, he might as well make himself comfortable.

He took out the thing in his arms. At this time, its halo had disappeared and it looked like an ordinary black ball. He looked left and right, but couldn't make out anything.

Li Pingan was watching and suddenly said "tsk". She remembered that she had only downloaded an app for running errands across time and space. Why was it now moving more and more like a horror game?

This group of people keeps talking about props and talents. Are she on the same track as them?

Li Ping'an looked at the black ball as big as his palm and couldn't figure out how to activate this prop. He patted it and hit it, but it didn't work.

Finally, Li Ping'an held the black ball over his mouth, wondering how likely it was that he could swallow it.

After thinking about it, I decided to give up and not choke myself to death.

Choking to death is not scary, after all, you can be resurrected. What you should be afraid of is that after being resurrected, the ball is still stuck in your throat, and you choke to death again after being resurrected, and then choke to death again after being resurrected. That would be too scary.

When Li Ping'an was struggling, he suddenly kicked something with his foot and immediately crawled to the end of the bed holding the ball.

Li Ping'an picked up the thing and took a look. It was an exquisite dagger only the size of a palm. It looked antique in workmanship. The handle of the dagger was inlaid with a purple gem as big as a thumb nail.

Li Ping'an looked at the dagger carefully and recalled it. She was sure that when she searched previously, she turned the bed upside down and did not see the dagger.

Then there is only one possibility, it was given by the man who just came in.

Why?

Li Ping'an stroked the dagger in his hand and thought of a possibility. There was a conflict between this person and Jiuqi, and he wanted to use her to kill Jiuqi.

Thinking of this, Li Pingan uttered a "huh". He thought too highly of himself. She couldn't even react to the blow Jiuqi gave her neck, so why would she kill him? Don't let Jiuqi peel off her skin with a wave of his hand.

As he was thinking, Li Ping'an slammed the dagger on the bed, and secretly sighed that he was boosting others' morale and destroying his own prestige. People make mistakes and horses stumble, so who knows?

Li Ping'an touched the dagger in his hand, thought for a while, and took out the fruit knife hidden in his pocket.

As soon as the two touched each other, Li Ping'an's fruit knife broke into pieces. Seeing this scene, Li Ping'an's eyes lit up. This is a good thing.

Then, Li Ping'an jumped off the bed, grabbed the chain on his feet, endured the shrill screams, and cut the chain with the dagger in his hand.

The moment the chain broke, the screams stopped, but before Li Ping'an could breathe a sigh of relief, an even sharper and more piercing sound rang out, and at the same time, a black shadow attacked Li Ping'an.

Li Ping'an saw a skull from the dark shadow. The skull rushed towards Li Ping'an with its mouth wide open, as if it wanted to swallow her.

Li Ping'an could only roll on the ground and barely escape.

Looking at the black shadow in front of him, Li Ping'an held the dagger in his hand, and a fighting spirit burned in his heart. He just wanted to use it to test the dagger in his hand.

At the moment of contact, Li Ping'an was a little worried, fearing that the dagger in his hand was useless, but when he saw the skull screaming, Li Ping'an wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at the dagger excitedly. It was really useful.

Since it was useful, Li Ping'an decided to end the battle quickly. After all, Jiu Qi might come at any time.

Li Pingan was so excited during the fight that he didn't even notice that he had spit out blood all over the floor. Seeing the skull shrinking smaller and smaller, Li Pingan became more and more excited.

In his excitement, the black ball that he had just casually put in his pocket rolled out and fell on the blood.

When Li Ping'an reacted and was about to pick it up, a light suddenly appeared on the black ball. Li Ping'an blocked the attack of the black shadow while trying to pick up the black ball.

But he missed. The black ball suddenly floated up and rushed straight towards the black shadow.
