Chapter 92 [(*^▽^*)]
Lin Leyou put away his phone and watched the four people from a distance. They wandered around Building 1 twice without finding anything, and then started walking towards Building 2.
That makes sense. Xue Rui found a demon here in Building 1 this morning. It can't be that there's still one now. Maybe demons have their own territory.
The news of this evil spirit's death hasn't reached the other monsters yet, so it hasn't been possessed by another evil spirit. Hopefully, it won't be too difficult, otherwise we won't be able to deal with it.
They seemed to have discovered something at Building 2. Qin Jiao made a hand gesture, and Lin Leyou returned the gesture to indicate that he understood.
Next, they had to go around each unit one by one. Their task was to pinpoint the location of the evil spirit as much as possible and try to lure it out.
Lin Leyou was quite looking forward to it, hoping to kill as many evil spirits and ghosts as possible. Even if he didn't get any items in the end, he could still get a lot of points for killing evil spirits.
A sure-fire way to make money.
The four of them went into a unit and came out about ten minutes later. Qin Jiao looked around, probably looking at him. He moved to a spot where she could see him, and she smiled and made a gesture.
The four people followed closely behind the second unit and came out quickly. It wasn't until the fourth unit that Lin Leyou realized that these people were still nowhere to be seen after fifteen minutes.
Just as he was about to go in and take a look, he was surprised to see four people come out and walk towards the door of Unit 5. They pushed the door open and went in, and seemed to be fine.
But... something is missing.
When they came out of Unit 4, Qin Jiao didn't look for him or give him any gestures. Had she forgotten?
That's impossible. The hand gestures were pre-arranged. If there's no problem, they'll definitely use the hand gestures with him. If there's a problem...
Problems will inevitably surface, rather than emerging slowly like this.
Very well, it seems that the four people who came out this time were either controlled by evil spirits or were not real.
He followed the five of them into Unit 5, but he didn't see a single person inside, nor did he hear any footsteps in the hallway. Of course, the elevator was also stopped on the first floor.
The presence of a beauty in Unit 5 means that the four real people must be in danger and trapped in Unit 4.
If I go now, will I encounter evil spirits? If I don't confront them head-on, I won't be able to catch them at all, and I won't be able to do anything about them.
Should we go in now? Perhaps the four of them are just trapped and not in danger. If we go in now, wouldn't we be alerting them?
However, after thinking about it for a moment, he decided to go in anyway.
The four people who just came out were definitely just a smokescreen to deceive their companions outside, that is, to use them themselves. So this evil spirit must also be afraid of its companions outside going in.
Or perhaps it was to buy time; maybe the evil spirit had already seen him, and there was no point in hiding anymore.
Lin Leyou strode forward, opened the unit door, and found it quiet inside without any sound. "If that's the case, then it must be in the stairwell."
He walked to the door of the first-floor stairwell, but it was very quiet, and there didn't seem to be any movement.
Should we take the elevator up for further inspection? Or should we just take the stairs?
I used to take the elevator because I heard some noises on the first floor, so it was safer to take the elevator. But now it's different. There are no noises now, which means that it may not be in the hallway.
In that case...
Lin Leyou pushed open the door in front of him. Sure enough, there was no sound in the hallway. Yao Mo and the others were not in the hallway either. Since that was the case, he didn't need to take the elevator.
I went up the stairs to the second floor and opened the door to check the hallway outside. Everything was fine.
So he climbed the stairs to the top floor and checked every corner he could, but found nothing. Now all that was left was the rooftop.
But will they be trapped on the rooftop?
Looking at the door in front of him, Lin Leyou noticed that there were still spider webs on the door frame. If the door were opened, the spider webs would definitely be removed.
This situation has occurred before, so we cannot simply use spider webs to make a judgment.
Opening the door in front of him, Lin Leyou saw an empty rooftop. So they weren't on the rooftop after all? He was a little puzzled. If they weren't in the stairwell, the corridors on each floor, or the rooftop, could they have hidden in that house?
Lin Leyou thought of the key he had gotten from the captain earlier, and he had brought it with him just in case. Should he go and check out the unsold apartments in this unit?
Perhaps we can find them.
And putting everything else aside, the evil spirits here must have already discovered them, right? Have they escaped?
If they escape, wouldn't it be a complete waste of time and effort?
Lin Leyou walked around the rooftop, making sure there was no one and no trace before leaving. He then started from the top floor and opened and checked each house that was empty, until he reached the third floor when he noticed something was wrong.
He had only opened the stairwell door to check if anyone was there before, so he hadn't looked closely, but now that he was closer, he realized there were indeed traces.
A faint trace of blood was found on the door frame of the main door outside room 301. It looked like it was left there during the escape, which means that someone was inside.
How did they open the door? Was it a prop?
Knocking on the door is absolutely forbidden. What if there's an evil spirit inside? The knocking might startle it. Lin Leyou took out his key and gently opened the door. What he saw was two people lying on the living room floor.
It was Lian Yushan and Tang Zhengchu.
Lian Yushan was already unconscious, while Tang Zhengchu was still awake, though he looked like he had been beaten quite badly and was lying on the ground unable to get up.
The moment he saw Lin Leyou, he pointed towards the master bedroom, "Over there!"
Lin Leyou rushed over immediately, kicking open the master bedroom door. There he saw Qin Jiao lying on the bed, while a skeletal, vengeful ghost stood beside it, its long, sharp-nailed hand reaching out…
After glaring at the skeleton ghost for a while, Lin Leyou was the first to react. He quickly moved to the skeleton ghost's vicinity and swiftly struck with his stun baton.
The skeleton ghost reacted quickly, leaping back to dodge his stun baton. Its sharp fingernails dug into the wall, fixing its entire body to the wall, and it climbed up the wall as if it were glued to it, and it was quite fast!
This was the first time a demon had dodged his stun gun. Seeing it heading towards the door, intending to climb out from above, Lin Leyou decided to go all the way and flung the stun gun out of his hand.
The stun gun flashed through the air and finally struck the skeleton demon still on the ceiling. After a shudder, the struck skeleton demon fell from the ceiling.
The skeleton ghost was indeed caught off guard and hit by the stun baton, but to Lin Leyou's surprise, he might have misjudged the force he used when throwing the stun baton.
The skeletal demon fell from an odd position, directly crushing Qin Jiao, who was unconscious on the bed, beneath it.
With a loud thud, it landed heavily on Qin Jiao. Fortunately, it fell sideways. With such a loud sound, it's unclear whether Qin Jiao was injured.
But he noticed that Qin Jiao was still not awake.
After Lin Leyou came to his senses, he was stunned for a moment when he saw the scene, and quickly kicked the skeleton demon to the floor.
He was about to wake Qin Jiao when he suddenly thought that he should kill this skeleton ghost first.
Even though Lian Yushan and Tang Zhengchu are outside, they haven't come in. Yao Mo isn't here; he's probably somewhere else. Qin Jiao is still unconscious. Isn't this a good opportunity?
Just in case, he picked up the blanket from the bed and covered Qin Jiao's face with it, making sure it was completely covered before taking out his dagger from his backpack.
Without saying a word, he jabbed at the skeleton ghost he had kicked to the floor, roughly estimating how much the ghost's body had faded, but upon closer inspection, he found that there wasn't much change.
Lin Leyou put the dagger back into his backpack, slowly walked to the living room, and helped Lian Yushan and Tang Zhengchu, who was lying on the ground and struggling to breathe, to the sofa.
"You guys rest on the sofa. Qin Jiao is fine, she just fainted. By the way... where's Yao Mo?"
Tang Zhengchu took a breath. "Yao Mo got separated from us in the stairwell. We ran towards the third floor, but Yao Mo ran upstairs just now. I don't know where he is now."
Lin Leyou nodded to indicate that he understood. "It should be fine. This skeleton is chasing you. Yao Mo won't be in danger."
Tang Zhengchu nodded, "That's what I think too. Let's wait and see. Once he realizes there's no danger, he should come looking for us on his own."
Lin Leyou looked after them for a while to pass the time, then returned to Qin Jiao's room, where the skeleton ghost was still unconscious on the floor.
There was no time to dawdle. Lin Leyou took out his sharp knife and slashed it twice. However, the skeleton ghost's form not only did not dissipate, but it also did not fade much.
Instead, the skin covering his bones was cut in several places.
What's going on?
At this rate, wouldn't he need to make dozens of cuts to kill this skeleton ghost? In that time, Qin Jiao and the others would definitely notice the sharp knife he possessed.
And dozens of cuts... would be enough to cut this skeleton ghost into pieces. It would be dead by then, even if it didn't die.
Moreover, it's not that they'll steal the knife; he simply doesn't want to reveal that he has it, and he's even keeping it a secret from Xue Rui.
Perhaps Xue Rui had already seen it when he took action, but he was very sensible and didn't ask any questions. However, he was sure that the other players would definitely inquire about him openly or secretly.
This is the kind of trouble he hates the most.
