The fat man's expression was also a little weird. He lowered his head and didn't speak. I could only turn around and look at Qin Lan.
Qin Lan had just been thrown to the ground by Jack in anger, looking in a mess. I looked over and saw that she hadn't gotten up yet. My heart suddenly skipped a beat and I subconsciously walked towards her.
"Qin Lan?" I walked to her and put my hand on her shoulder, but saw that her body suddenly trembled violently when she heard my voice. The doubts in my heart deepened.
I picked her up from the ground, and then I saw her flushed face and her eyes widened instantly.
In this situation, even a fool would know what was going on, not to mention that he was a man.
Suddenly I remembered what the fat man said just now that this poison would make people lustful. A gloomy look flashed in my eyes, and at the same time I felt something was wrong with my body.
Turning around to look at everyone, he found that Jack and Xiao Ding's expressions were also a little strange, only the fat man didn't have any strange expression.
I immediately frowned and looked at him and asked, "Why are you okay?"
"Because he was injured and the wound is still bleeding, it naturally alleviated the effects of the medicine." Jack explained in a low voice.
I was stunned. Could it be that only by getting injured and bleeding continuously could the poison be detoxified? I took out the dagger I carried with me and considered whether I should stab myself.
Jack looked at my movements and his face darkened. He stopped me from hurting myself and shook his head, saying, "It's useless unless you bleed like him."
My hand holding the dagger froze, and I subconsciously looked at the fat man's leg. Seeing that blood was indeed oozing out of his leg, I immediately put away the dagger and gave up the idea.
With that method of bleeding, he would not be able to escape if he encountered danger, and he would probably bleed to death before he even walked out of the Drum Tower.
"What should we do now?" I asked anxiously, frowning.
"Actually, this toxic lust is secondary. The most important thing is that it makes people irritable and produce uncontrollable negative emotions." Jack's face was also heavy.
As if to prove his words, Qin Lan, who had been curled up on the ground with a flushed face, suddenly jumped up from the ground and rushed towards Jack with bloodshot eyes. She screamed, "It's you, it's all your fault, I'm going to kill you!!!"
I was startled and immediately jumped up from the ground, stopped Qin Lan and shouted, "Qin Lan, wake up!"
However, Qin Lan was still extremely excited. I had no choice but to chop her neck with a knife. Qin Lan's body suddenly softened and she passed out.
I put Qin Lan's body on the ground, and my heart became heavier.
Now, among the five people, one is disabled, one is in coma, and the remaining three are not in good condition either. If they continue to move forward, it will be tantamount to committing suicide.
But if you don't go up, you can't go down either.
I turned to look at Jack, wanting to hear his opinion, but he was also looking at the people on the ground with an unpleasant expression. After a while, he raised his eyes and glanced upstairs. He said in a heavy tone, "The only way for us now is to get out of here as soon as possible, otherwise, everyone will die."
My heart sank to the bottom.
That’s what they say, but no one knows whether they can make it out. The road ahead is unknown. After going through all that, I really have no confidence at all.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but be shocked again and woke up instantly.
What’s wrong with me? I wasn’t like this before, giving up easily and being decadent.
It must be because of the love poison that I have this series of negative emotions, which are even getting worse.
I looked up at the dark fourth floor, feeling a strange unease. After thinking for a moment, I asked, "But how are we going to get up there?"
As I glanced at everyone, I couldn't help but frown.
"Fatty, stay here. We'll give him all the food, water, and medicine. Just enough for three days." Jack glanced at the fat man lying on the ground and suggested, then paused and continued, "As long as we reach the top floor within three hours, everyone can be saved."
"If not..."
Jack didn't continue speaking, but his face darkened. However, we all knew what he had left unfinished.
If not, then we will all die here and no one will survive.
But, would Fatty be willing to stay here?
After all, staying here means handing your life over to them. The gap between actively seeking for survival and passively waiting for survival is huge.
Receiving my worried gaze, the fat man smiled nonchalantly and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? It's okay. I'll die if I follow you up. It's better for me to stay here. Maybe I can live a little longer."
He said this frankly, but the heaviness in his eyes could not be deceived. If possible, no one would want to stay and wait for death.
However, he really couldn't hold on with his injured leg.
After making the decision, I carried the unconscious Qin Lan on my back, Jack walked in front, Xiao Ding walked in the middle, and I walked at the end, and continued to walk upstairs.
As soon as I stepped onto the fourth floor, I was enveloped in darkness. A strong smell of blood and a foul odor hit my nose. I instantly became alert and said to Xiao Ding next to me, "Light the candle."
Xiao Ding responded and then took out a candle from his bag and lit it. However, just as the flame lit up, he heard him scream: "Ah——"
The candle fell to the ground with a thud, and my body was pushed sideways by him. I staggered for several steps before I could stand firm.
At the same time, a sharp wind blade swept past my face and then disappeared. If I had still been standing in the same position, given the sharpness of the wind blade, my body would have been torn in half in an instant.
I was horrified, my back was soaked with cold sweat, and my whole body tensed up unconsciously.
The accident happened so quickly that everyone was shocked. Then they looked at the still burning candle on the ground with even more vigilance, without saying a word or moving.
The candle on the ground illuminated a small area of light around it, and in that small area of light, a pair of *feet appeared.
What kind of feet are those?
The entire foot was rotten beyond recognition, as if it had been splashed with sulfuric acid, or as if it had been cut with countless wounds, and it had taken many years to become like this.
All ten toes were dark blue, like a zombie.
A chill rose from the soles of their feet. No one thought this was an easy monster to deal with, and their vigilance grew stronger.
The one who was most frightened among them was Xiao Ding.
The moment he lit the candle just now, the ghost face that suddenly appeared almost scared him to death. If he hadn't been quick, he and I would have been torn in half.
Why is it called a ghost face?
