Chapter 144 Autobiography (IX)
The other end.
In order to lure out Lu's father, Mu Yu and Su Mingyun must act separately again.
However, in order to prevent themselves from turning into black holes, they made an agreement: no matter who Father Lu appears next to in the end, they should try their best not to fight back, make sounds to signal their friends, and wait for the other party to arrive.
This plan certainly has certain risks - for example, what if a friend is late?
But they were going to trust each other.
Mu Yu went to the first floor and Su Mingyun went to the second floor.
Not long after the two separated, Mu Yu heard Su Mingyun's exclamation from the second floor.
This was followed by a gurgling sound and whimpering as if the neck was being strangled.
Mu Yu quickly came to the stairs, held his breath, stared at the darkness above, and went up one step, two steps.
He pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the signals Su Mingyun gave him… At a certain moment, Su Mingyun got a chance to catch his breath and shouted, “Mu—er!”
Mu Yu rushed forward like an arrow, turned on the flashlight function, and shone the light at the two people.
The man pinched Su Mingyun and turned his head to look at the end of the corridor. The moment he was illuminated by the light, he screamed and dived into the black hole under his feet.
Mu Yu immediately went to help Su Mingyun. The girl coughed twice, then suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with aggressive hostility.
"Calm down, Mingyun," Mu Yu stared at her with a powerful tone, "Don't turn into a black hole."
Su Mingyun trembled and his eyes softened.
She gasped for breath and said, "The barrage appeared again. It's so scary."
"They just want to instigate you," Mu Yu helped her up, "Let's go!"
The two entered the small house and ran to the end of the corridor on the second floor. Lu Zhongnian was still there.
Mu Yu took out the dagger, hooked the mist on Lu Chongnian's neck with his fingers, and cut it lightly.
"It works!" Su Mingyun said excitedly.
Lu Zhongnian's eyes fell on this ordinary-looking dagger: "Did you find this downstairs?"
"I got it from a vending machine," Mu Yu mumbled, picked up Lu Zhongnian, and weighed him. "By the way, how old are you now?"
Lu Zhongnian lay on his shoulder, his childish voice, which was far from reaching the voice change period, carried a maturity and calmness that was totally inconsistent with his appearance.
"Eight?"
"?" Mu Yu, "So accurate?"
"Because that's what happened that year when my dad pushed the nanny down the stairs." Lu Zhongnian said calmly.
Mu Yu and Su Mingyun paused.
The two stopped talking.
Mu Yu touched Lu Zhongnian's head, held him firmly, and ran to the window through which he came in, intending to return to the big house.
——As long as I get out, I should have completed the book, right?
Can they get any clues about the big copy?

At the same time, in the book "The Ghost Behind", Gao Zhanyuan and Jing Qiao also turned around and ran into the theater.
If this book was built by Him based on Jing Qiao's inner world, and if the way to pass the level is related to her heart knot, then they should not go outside the door or under the stage, but to the rehearsal area that Jing Qiao fears!
Gao Zhanyuan said to her as he ran, "Don't be afraid later, we can handle anything together. If we can't do it, we still have Jiang Shuyue and Fu Xiaoju. They are smarter than us!"
Jing Qiao laughed: "You are right."
They arrived at the dark entrance to the rehearsal area.
Jing Qiao took a deep breath and turned on the flashlight together with Gao Zhanyuan.
The light could barely illuminate a circle of ground beneath their feet and couldn't reach any further.
This place is even darker than I remembered.
No, maybe in her memory, this is such a dark place.
Jing Qiao could feel that her whole body was rejecting this place.
The blood seemed to be turning cold, the hairs on my body were standing on end, the heartbeat became a rhythm that was so strong and uncomfortable, and my whole body was shouting "Get out of here!" "Run away!"
However... under the cold gaze of unknown eyes in the depths of darkness, and with Gao Zhanyuan waiting in silence with full respect as a partner, Jing Qiao gritted his teeth and said, "... let's go."
They walked into the darkness.
The darkness was like a tide, crashing towards them wave after wave.
【Don’t go in! 】
The voice in my head shouted.
[Hurry up, turn around and leave, you will die if you go in! ]
This is no longer Jiang Shuyue's voice.
It was a familiar female voice - her own.
[You will kill Gao Zhanyuan, just like you almost killed Jiang Shuyue.]
The ghost behind her entangled her darkly and damply, issuing malicious warnings in her ears.
[You shouldn't have come to this book to make do, and you shouldn't have come to this copy to make do. ]
[Who can you help? You can only move yourself! ]
【They don't need your help at all! 】
Jing Qiao felt like he had fallen into a quagmire. He desperately paddled his hands in the sticky darkness, gasping for breath.
She gradually lost her sense of Gao Zhanyuan and felt so lonely that she felt like she was all alone.
Sweat all over my head and chill all over my body.
Fear, collapse, and the desire to escape.
Yet deep inside her, another voice told her - Remember? The end of the rehearsal area was not far away.
This place looks as deep as a tunnel, but in fact, if you just run through it, you will reach the end quickly.
Want to try it?
Just like what Jiang Shuyue had done before, and just like many other friends who were brave and fearless -
Jingqiao ran.
She stared straight ahead, ignoring the sweat that trickled down her eyes, ignoring the darkness that was holding her back and trying desperately to keep her where she was.
Move your legs and wave your arms.
She broke free from her restraints and flew forward recklessly like a bird.
…Gradually, the darkness receded like the tide.
The feeling that someone was staring at her began to weaken, and the voice in her head died out automatically like a candle that had burned out.
She heard Gao Zhanyuan's voice again.
His shouts, and the sound of his footsteps quickly catching up.
"Fuck, why are you running so fast all of a sudden? What did you see?"
Jing Qiao was panting and wanted to say that she didn't see anything, but she seemed to have finally overcome her inner demons and she was so excited now - but at a glance she saw that there seemed to be something lying on the ground at the end of the rehearsal area in front.
She raised her arm and pointed there, and asked in surprise, "Look, what is that?"
That thing is still reflecting light.
The two ran closer and saw that it was actually a shiny axe!
Gao Zhanyuan walked forward, bent down and picked up the axe: "What is this thing for..."
Before he finished speaking, he turned around and looked at Jing Qiao.
Suddenly they felt as if they could leave this book.
The next second, the ground beneath his feet began to rumble and shake, and the world in this book began to undergo amazing changes.

"Violence"
Mu Yu hugged Lu Chongnian and rushed back to the big house with Su Mingyun.
They stood in the dark corridor on the second floor, their rapid breathing coming one after another.
…
"Have we passed the level?" Su Mingyun swallowed, "Why do I feel like nothing has changed?"
The house is still the same house, and the corridor is still the same corridor.
After clearing the level, are there no hints or clue rewards?
Mu Yu couldn't help but feel suspicious.
He took a few steps forward and cautiously came to the door of the dark bedroom. His expression instantly tensed.
That weird atmosphere was still emanating from it—the monster that looked like Lu's father was still in there!
There was no change in this big house at all, it was very likely that they hadn't even made it through the game yet!
But Lu Chongnian has been rescued, what else can they do?
Lu Zhongnian leaned on his shoulder, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then asked, "You only encountered his attack at the second floor staircase?"
Su Mingyun quickly said, "Mu Yu was also attacked by him on the first floor!"
"Where is the first floor?"
"In the bathroom, he, he pushed Mu Yu's head into the sink..."
Lu Zhongnian immediately glanced at Mu Yu, then turned his head and looked towards the dark room in front of him.
Mu Yu couldn't help but tighten his arms.
Lu Zhongnian paused, retracted his gaze, and lowered his eyelashes.
Mu Yu's Adam's apple rolled slightly.
...At that moment just now, Lu Zhongnian's eyes were icy cold, with a hidden sense of hostility.
"I'm fine," Mu Yu cleared his throat, pretending he saw nothing, and changed the subject, "Has your father ever done this to anyone before?"
Lu Zhongnian's tone remained calm, with no hint of anything unusual: "I."
"What?" Mu Yu didn't react for a moment.
"That's what he did to me when I was six."
Mu Yu froze.
At this moment, the corridor was silent.
