"These ghost corpses were originally the civilians and defenders of this city. They were trapped in the building and infected with the love poison, which gradually turned them into this state. Princess Qian Ning's blood is poisonous and destructive, especially after Princess Qian Ning's death."
Jack's words were neither positive nor negative, but I still understood them.
After all, I just saw with my own eyes how the ghost corpse turned to ashes in front of me, just because I stepped on the blood on the ground.
Then, without waiting for me to ask any more questions, Jack continued, "We need to get to the fifth floor. The only way is to smash these blood-stained glass pillars and then take the opportunity to run up to the fifth floor."
I paused, and a flash of disapproval flashed through my mind almost instantly. I instinctively wanted to refute, but the next moment I realized that this was the only way.
"But what about her?" I asked with a frown as I looked at Qin Lan who was pinned against the wall by me.
Jack narrowed his eyes and glanced at Qin Lan who was pinned against the wall by me. Suddenly, he took out a needle from somewhere, walked over and inserted it into the back of Qin Lan's head without blinking.
"Jack, what are you doing?!" I shouted in shock when I saw this, and countless guesses flashed through my mind.
Could it be that Jack wanted to kill Qin Lan because he saw that she was in love?
Don't say it's impossible, this isn't the first time he's done something like this.
"Stop!" Xiao Ding on the side also shouted anxiously.
I raised my hand to stop his attacking hand, but I was still a step too late. The silver needle went straight into the back of Qin Lan's head. Qin Lan's violent struggle suddenly froze, and then she fell into coma again.
My face turned pale instantly, and I stared at Jack in disbelief, with anger bursting out of my eyes: "Jack, are you crazy?!"
"You bastard!" Xiao Ding's eyes turned red instantly and he pounced on Jack.
At this moment, Qin Lan, who was supposed to be dead on the ground, suddenly woke up with a moan.
My body stiffened when I heard the voice, and I immediately jumped away from Qin Lan, looking at her warily, ready to control her at any time if she went crazy. However, the scene I imagined did not happen.
"Um...what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" Qin Lan seemed to have regained her senses and looked at us blankly.
I was stunned and subconsciously looked at Jack with a hint of confusion in my eyes.
What's going on?
Qin Lan was about to be transformed, and he solved the problem with just a silver needle?
Jack received my gaze, curled his lips and said, "Don't be too happy too soon, I just sealed her acupuncture points temporarily."
When I heard that, my heart sank and I knew things wouldn't be that simple.
"If we can't leave here quickly, over time, not only her, but all of us will become the same as this monster." Jack continued.
"What should we do?" I looked up at the dark group of monsters in front of me and asked without further ado.
Jack also restrained his expression as he glanced at the pillars in the house, then continued, "There are five glass pillars in total. Let's work together to remove the closest one first. Then Qin Lan and Xiao Ding will go together to remove the two glass pillars near the fifth floor stairs."
After saying that, Jack fixed his gaze on me and continued, "Let's go together and get the two glass pillars farthest away. Then, without wasting a minute, rush up to the fifth floor together."
Upon hearing this, I looked towards the five glass pillars embedded in the wall. Sure enough, I saw one next to us, two at the stairs on the fifth floor, and the remaining two were at a relatively far distance. Such a position was dangerous. It was like fighting alone among a group of irrational ghost corpses.
Compared with the two glass pillars at the entrance of the corridor on the fifth floor, it is much safer.
"No, I'll go to the farthest one. Brother and sister Qin Lan will go to the corridor entrance on the fifth floor in a group." Xiao Ding was the first to stand up and object, his eyes widened with worry.
"No, you can't go!" I retorted without thinking and firmly disagreed.
"Brother, it's too dangerous. I don't want you to take risks. Promise me, let me go!" Seeing that I refused without thinking, Xiao Ding came up to me and grabbed my sleeve and begged, the worry in his eyes almost overflowing.
My heart warmed up, and I couldn't help but rub his head, smiling and saying, "Precisely because it's dangerous, I can't let you go. Protecting you is my job, and you just need to be obedient, understand?"
"Brother, you are not fair!" Xiao Ding became anxious when he heard that and shook off my sleeve.
"There is no fairness, you must listen to me. Moreover, if your fighting power is the farthest, I can probably just collect your body." Seeing that he was going to be willful, I also turned cold with anger.
Xiao Ding's eyes turned red instantly, he snorted coldly, turned his face away and stopped looking at me.
"That's right, it's decided." Jack also responded, and Xiao Ding suddenly fell silent. Qin Lan naturally had no objection.
The final word.
But there is still a problem.
I frowned as I looked at the five glass columns. The light in this room was all from the candlesticks that supplied the red liquid. Although I didn't know why the blood could burn, but...
"If the glass column is broken, there are only two results. Either the blood will still glow, which is fine, but if the blood loses its glow, we will be plunged into darkness. In that case..." I couldn't help but express my concerns.
Jack was stunned, as if he hadn't thought of this question. After I reminded him, his eyes darkened and he frowned.
Obviously, he also knew how passive and dangerous they would be if they fell into darkness under such circumstances.
Everyone fell silent for a moment.
I stared at the two glass pillars at the fifth-floor stairwell for a long moment of deep thought, then suddenly suggested, "We can destroy four. The two at the fifth-floor stairwell are close enough. Xiao Ding and Qin Lan can escape by destroying just one of them."
We looked at each other and knew it was the only way.
No matter what, we can't fall into complete darkness, that would be too dangerous.
"Okay, it's settled then!" Jack finally made the final decision with a cold expression on his face.
I could understand what he meant. After all, the air was poisonous. Every minute they delayed would increase the danger. Now I could clearly feel that the abnormality in my body was even more obvious than before, so I nodded first.
Qin Lan and Xiao Ding had no objection, so they took out their weapons and prepared to rush towards the ghost corpses.
The weapons were the bones we picked up when we fought the skeletons on the third floor. I don't know what these bones are made of, but they are very sharp and exude a cold chill that makes people shudder.
However, such a thing is perfect for dealing with ghost corpses. After all, this thing is full of evil spirits, and it can be used to deal with ghost corpses with the same evil spirits, which is easy to deal with.
