Chapter 13: Night of the Blood Moon (Thirteen)

Nan Huan stretched his short legs and ran towards the stairs, with a rough plan already in his mind.

The game of hide-and-seek lasts for an hour. If she keeps running like this, she will die before the time is up.

Alas, although she was not completely sure about this method, she had no choice but to try it out in the current situation.

As soon as she reached the stairs, she felt a louder movement behind her, like a floodgate opening, and all the voodoo dolls rushed up all at once.

Nan Huan, who had originally planned to go down the stairs safely, simply hugged his head and rolled down.

One of his arms had become stiff and numb from being touched by the voodoo doll. In addition, the pain seemed to have been reduced a lot after being turned into a doll, so it was not as painful as when he was hit.

But when I caught a glimpse of it, I saw Cui Zhongming swinging the whip onto the beam and holding one end to swing it over the heads of the dolls like Tarzan.

I couldn't help but twitch the corner of my mouth.

I was just being polite and asked you to hold on for a while before letting the doll out. You were really obedient and didn't hold on for even a second longer.

She only had time to complain in her heart, but when she saw the half-human-tall doll following her and chasing after her, she dared not let her guard down anymore.

I could only bury my head and continue rolling down.

After stumbling down to the first floor, Nan Huan did not forget to observe the army of children following him.

It was discovered that except for the half-human-height doll in the lead, which was relatively easy to move, the rest of the short voodoo dolls stumbled when going down the stairs.

Especially, their brains don’t seem to be very good, and they don’t know how to learn to roll down by themselves to save trouble.

Oh, maybe they have no brains at all.

Nan Huan thought as he struggled to get up from the ground. Without even looking behind him, he ran towards the basement.

She felt like the hen in the story of the eagle catching the chicks, with a group of chicks following behind her, and running back and forth in the castle with hundreds of dolls.

It’s just that the old hen was trying to protect her chicks, but she was trying her best to get rid of the baby behind her.

Logically speaking, with such a big commotion, even if the people in the castle didn't help, they would come out to watch the excitement.

But when Nan Huan went downstairs, she didn't see anyone.

She discovered this problem the last time she was doing a skill task at night.

It seems that for single-player missions like this chase, in order to prevent other players from helping, the system has made certain isolation settings for the game copy.

The doll is half a person's height, with big and steady steps.

By the time Nan Huan finally ran to the entrance of the basement, she had already caught up with him.

An arm that was several times thicker than Nan Huan's had already swept over with the wind.

Nan Huan knew that she couldn't avoid this attack, as the part that was touched would immediately become stiff. In her current situation, she only had to sacrifice one arm, but she still had to keep her legs to continue running.

However, when Nan Huan calculated the angle and prepared to face the head-on blow, he found that the person behind him seemed to be afraid of the basement and paused for a moment.

Nan Huan was delighted, and immediately felt that his method might really work.

The little body squeezed out strength from somewhere and took advantage of the moment when the other party was panicked to slip into the basement.

Nan Huan’s plan was a good one. If the other party was hesitant and didn’t dare to chase her, then she would hide in the basement during this time.

If the other party really chased after her, it would not be too late for her to use the method she had thought of before.

Thinking of this, Nan Huan suddenly felt that the smell of blood coming from the basement was very familiar.

However, this feeling did not last long. After running a few steps forward, Nan Huan heard heavy footsteps behind him. The half-human-height doll was chasing after him.

She knew that the game would never allow her to stay safely in the basement.

Fortunately, she had been to the basement in the morning, so she slipped into the wine cellar familiarly.

This place was exactly the same as it was before he left in the morning. Apart from the strong smell of blood, there were no dark shadows and the pool showed no signs of sinking.

"Well, I have something to discuss with you. Why don't you show up?" Nan Huan stood in the middle of the gully and spoke to the pond at his feet. "Besides, we have already met this morning. Can you spare me the gift of meeting?"

She ran out of breath, but she did not forget to bargain with the other party at this time.

However, the pond beneath my feet seemed to not exist at all. There was no response and everything was completely silent.

Nan Huan knew that this meant there was no room for negotiation, so he took a few steps forward and found a sharp spot on the stone wall.

He pressed his scabbed hand hard again.

The pampered finger was pierced again, and blood dripped down the wall into the ravine.

Just as she expected, even though she was now stuffed into the doll's body, her body would still bleed as long as it didn't become completely stiff.

As the drop of blood flowed along the ravine and gathered to the center, the pool finally reappeared, and the dark shadows slowly emerged from behind the wine barrel racks.

Nan Huan saw that the black shadow's trust in her had increased by a few points, but she had no time to get excited. She had to follow the method she used in the morning and spent ten points to let the other party lift her up quickly while Chi Zi had no time to react.

She came here to negotiate, not to be served as food.

However, it was not known whether Chi Zi had smelled the familiar scent on her body, or whether he had eaten in the morning and thus moved faster.

Nan Huan had just given the order, and before the black shadow came close to her, thick black hair with a bloody smell reached out and wrapped her tightly.

The black shadow had just moved halfway when it saw this situation. It knew it was no match for the hair and didn't dare to move forward. However, due to the limitations of its skills and following Nan Huan's orders, it didn't dare to leave completely. It just floated around the hair, spinning around in a hurry.

The pool was still sinking, and Nan Huan was hit head-on by a stream of fishy-smelling hair. She felt nauseous and bent over to vomit, but her wrists and ankles were tightly wrapped by the silk-thin hair.

Because of the doll's body, Nan Huan didn't feel much pain at first, but as the silk thread continued to tighten, she could already feel her skin being trapped like a drum, swelling and uncomfortable.

"I'm here... to seek union... woo woo..."

She opened her mouth with difficulty, trying to show her sincerity, but after she had said just two words, the hair was stuffed directly into her mouth, blocking what Nan Huan wanted to say.

She felt so sick that she wanted to vomit, but her hair was blocking her way and she could only whimper.

His hands were covering more and more hairs, his body was getting heavier and heavier, and his vision was becoming blurry. Nan Huan was completely engulfed in the stench, and his strength to struggle was getting weaker and weaker.

The dress she was wearing was already riddled with marks from her hair.

The pond was about to sink to the bottom, and that drop of Nanhuan's blood finally gathered in the center along the ravine.

The hair seemed ready to continue its feast, but as the drop of blood flowed into the center, the entire sinking movement of the pool seemed to be stuck.

The hair entangled with Nan Huan's body seemed to have suddenly been frozen as the tightening movement froze in place.

After a while, the pool seemed to have eaten something dirty. It seemed to be regurgitating the cud from the gap in the middle, and spit out blood.

The hair entangled with Nan Huan's body was retracted at lightning speed, as if it was afraid of getting involved in something dirty.

I was afraid that if I was a second late, I would get into big trouble.

Nanhuan, whose entire body had been wrapped up and was already floating in the air, suddenly lost his support and was about to fall to the bottom of the pool.

Fortunately, the black shadow next to him had been guarding diligently. Seeing this situation, he quickly used himself to hold Nan Huan's small doll body.

Nan Huan coughed violently several times, trying to spit out the fishy smell in his throat.

vomit--

vomit--

She bent over, not afraid of falling off the black shadow, but she didn't vomit anything, and then she heard a vomiting sound coming from below.

It was louder than her voice and more miserable than her vomit.

What happened? Could it be that someone else besides me accidentally entered?

Nan Huan suppressed his nausea and tilted his head to look.

I saw the pool below, as if it had eaten something dirty, and it was spitting out dark red blood from the center of the ravine. Every time it spit, the half-meter-long hair in front of it trembled.

He vomited several times until a drop of bright red blood came out, and then the noise finally stopped.

That drop of bright red blood seemed to be unique among the other bloodstains, as if it had nothing to do with each other.

Nan Huan only knew that she almost died just now, but the hair ran away as if it had seen a ghost. She didn't know what happened, and now she pinched her still painful fingers, as if she understood something.

But I feel a little complicated.

For a moment, I didn't know whether I was happy that the underground pool was feeling so uncomfortable after absorbing my blood, or I was unhappy that it was avoiding my blood like the plague.

She hooked her finger at the black shadow and asked him to take her to the half-meter-long hair.

She wanted to touch the hair with the scratched finger, but before she could touch it, the other party cautiously retreated half a palm's distance.

"Humph, are you scared now?" Nan Huan said in a pinched tone, "When I came in just now, I was very nice to you. It was you who insisted on a gift. You can't blame me for this."

In fact, Nan Huan didn’t know that her blood could have such a magical use. If she had known earlier, she would have smeared some on her hair and she would have avoided so much suffering.

But now that I have the opponent in my control, I still have to show off my power.

She remembered that when she was possessed by Bai Wei's doll in the doctor's room, she thought it was the pain that woke her up.

Now it seems that Bai Wei's doll was afraid of her own blood and gave up the attack on its own initiative, so she woke up.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment, and the guy with the hair probably didn't expect that the next guy would be a tough one.

The process of settling scores after the event is not very clear.

As soon as the wine cellar became quiet, the excitement outside began to build.

Hearing the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer, Nan Huan looked over and realized that only twenty-five minutes of hide-and-seek had passed, not even half of the time.

I know now is not the time to settle accounts with my hair. After all, I do have a request for help... my hair.

Just as Nan Huan was thinking about how to start his speech, the half-meter-long hair started to move. It rustled on the ground for a while, and then a few clear large words appeared.

"What is this cooperation you just mentioned?"

Oh, you are quite flexible. Nan Huan raised his eyebrows, agreeing to move on from the previous article.

"Although I don't know what your last wish is, I will try my best to do it. Besides, I can let you see your heart first, and help you get rid of the doctor... oh, no, it should be said that the witch's control," Nan Huan said what he could do slowly, and finally said slowly, "And you, help me hold the doll outside for a while, how about it?"

When Nan Huan saw so many lifelike dolls in the witch's room and heard the heartbeat coming from inside, he basically matched the identities of the black shadows and the dolls.

There's also the half-human-height doll that's dressed like the maid, with the same headband, and this one that can only stay in the wine cellar, attacking the player with its long hair, but leaving the headband for itself to activate the pool of special quests.

It is not difficult to guess that she is a maid whose heart is controlled and soul is imprisoned by the witch.

So she knew what the maid in front of her wanted most, and naturally said what she wanted to hear most.

But this was not an exaggeration. She had already accepted the special mission, so fulfilling the maid's last wish was a piece of cake.

Meet your heart. As long as the other person agrees to help you, you must meet him no matter what.

The only last promise, to help the other party get rid of the witch's control, was Nan Huan's own promise without relying on the game.

"I don't believe you."

After a moment's silence, a few more words appeared on the ground.

Nan Huan was not surprised. "It's normal that you don't believe it. I don't know how long this instance has been around, but looking at the dense black shadows and dolls, it must have been around for a long time. So many players haven't done it, so it must be too difficult or the game doesn't allow it."

[Warning, warning——

Players' conversations touch upon the core of the game, so please be careful, otherwise the conversation will be erased. 】

As soon as Nan Huan said "games are not allowed", the system in his head started to explode, shouting warnings in a high-pitched voice, fearing that Nan Huan couldn't hear it.

Nan Huan originally wanted to test the system, but now that he had an idea of ​​what was going on, he stopped talking about the game content and turned to talk about something else while facing a pile of hair.

"I'm not 100% sure, and I don't know if I can succeed, but now that I've said it, I'll definitely do it."

"Besides, other players told me that this game has never triggered special missions before, and the game level has never changed. I don't think you have ever encountered a player like me who can survive your hands. How does my blood taste?"

This statement does not sound illegal, but if you look closely at the content, you can understand what Nan Huan wants to express:

Although I can't guarantee it, but as you can see, I'm different from other players. Maybe I can succeed?

At this point, Nan Huan’s part of being polite was over, but she did not forget to add fuel to the fire in the end.

"Your hearts have been trapped by your witch for such a long time and have been controlled by her. I'm afraid you can't handle it now. It seems that I was wrong to ask you for help from the beginning."

…

Even though she knew that this person was trying to sow discord, the soul of the maid who had transformed into long hair was still irritated. In fact, she had taken Nan Huan's previous words to heart, and she didn't want to do something that would slap herself in the face.

"It's still unknown who will be the stronger one. Just wait and see. I promise to cooperate with you. Bring all those dolls into the room."

After a moment's silence, the man with the hair hurriedly wrote a few more lines.

Bribery and provocation do work.

"Then let me see what you can do," Nan Huan breathed a sigh of relief, and added in a steady tone, "Don't worry, I will try my best to do what I promised you."
