Water dripped from the body into the bathroom, which was now almost chest-deep.
The corpse came back to life!
Xiao Tangqiu quickly called out to Tang Mianmian, who turned around and screamed, "Oh my god, he's turned into a zombie!"
The two were as anxious as ants on a hot pan. Not to mention that the bathroom was so small that they couldn't use the method of circumventing monsters. Even the open space outside was probably full of water. The resistance in the water was too great and they couldn't run at all!
What should they do now? Is it possible for them to just confront the corpse head-on?
At this time, due to the buoyancy of the water, the long hair that originally covered the female corpse's face spread out, revealing her hideous, grayish-blue face.
Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian were both shocked. This female corpse was actually the new player who entered this dungeon with them, the girl who mysteriously disappeared after they left the haunted house!
Why did she disappear mysteriously in the first place, and why did she appear here inexplicably now, and die in the third project without anyone noticing?
Of course, at this moment they have no time and mood to reason and analyze the mystery of the girl's disappearance and death. Although they want to know the truth, they also have to live to know the truth!
Xiao Tangqiu didn't have time to think too much, and quickly took out a low-level ghost-exorcising talisman and threw it at the female corpse. Sure enough, the female corpse was nailed to the spot, but almost the next second the low-level ghost-exorcising talisman lost its effect, and the female corpse started moving again.
"No, this guy's resentment is too strong!"
How is this possible?
Logically speaking, the longer a ghost has been dead, the stronger its grudge is. She'd only been dead for a few hours, so how could her grudge be so strong? Even stronger than the ghost in the haunted house that kept haunting him!
Xiao Tangqiu couldn't believe it, but it was true.
In order to delay time, he used all the remaining low-level ghost-exorcising talismans, and even snatched the five low-level ghost-exorcising talismans from Tang Mianmian.
Even so, he only delayed for less than ten seconds.
They still couldn't find a way out.
Tang Mianmian's shoulder was bleeding, but the bathroom door remained motionless. The two were almost on the verge of despair. Seeing that the last low-level ghost-exorcism talisman was ineffective and the female corpse pounced on them again, Xiao Tangqiu gritted his teeth and, holding on to the last glimmer of hope, inserted the unused key into the keyhole.
clatter——
The door opened.
Xiao Tangqiu: "..."
Tang Mianmian: “…”
Holy shit! It's so simple, why didn't they think of it just now?
The two had no time to complain and quickly escaped from the bathroom. However, they did not run too far because of the fright. After all, the painful experiences of countless horror games and horror movies taught them that they must close the door!
So as soon as they ran out of the bathroom, they immediately turned around, closed the door, and locked it!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
There were bursts of loud noises coming from the bathroom, which made people shudder with fear. However, the bathroom door remained motionless and intact, just like they couldn't open it no matter how hard they banged on it. The female corpse inside should not be able to get out.
The banging sounds in the bathroom became quieter and quieter until they disappeared completely, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly at the same time.
"Fuck! I could have opened the door by just taking out the key. Why didn't we think of such a simple thing?" Tang Mianmian was very puzzled.
Xiao Tangqiu gave a bitter smile. "It's my fault. I just subconsciously felt that the way out shouldn't be this simple, so I couldn't help but think about it in a complicated way. My thoughts kept going around in circles, and finally got tangled up and couldn't get out."
Tang Mianmian also reflected on herself: "It's also my fault for thinking everything was too simple before. In the end, when simplicity was needed, it became complicated."
Xiao Tangqiu summarized: "Actually, our idea of using the key to open the door was not wrong. It couldn't be opened at first because the conditions were not met. Later, after the conditions were met, the key could naturally be used to open the door."
Tang Mianmian was puzzled: "Then what was the condition for opening the door that we agreed upon later? Did we revive the female corpse? Or did we have to be chased by the female corpse before we could open the door?"
Xiao Tangqiu: "Maybe it's a bit of both."
What they are playing now is not a horror puzzle game. There are no strategies or hints at all. They can only guess everything by themselves. Even if they finally pass the game, they may never know some answers and the truth.
But now is obviously not the time to feel sentimental. They have just wasted a lot of time in the bathroom, and now the water is about to reach their necks. If they don't find a way to escape, they will probably be drowned in this water dungeon.
Because of the buoyancy and resistance in the water, it was difficult for them to maintain their balance, so moving was very difficult, but fortunately all the furniture in the house was fixed to the floor, so they could still walk by holding on to the furniture and walls.
However, as the water level in the house continued to rise and the oxygen in the air became less and less, both of them began to feel that breathing was not as smooth as before.
Not only that, they haven't found the key to open the big iron door yet, not even a shadow of it. The bathroom just now seemed to be a trap. They got nothing in it and wasted precious time.
Just as the two returned to the living room and were about to look for the key, they finally ran into the other two people. Tang Mianmian immediately shouted, "Where did you go just now?"
The two men looked at Tang Mianmian expressionlessly. Although the situation was critical, their expressions were still calm and almost numb, as if they were completely unaware that they were facing the danger of death... or rather, they didn't care at all.
"What the hell! You're not cooperating at all!"
Tang Mianmian curled his lips. If he wasn't so anxious that he wanted to dig up the ground, he would have rushed over to teach those two people a lesson. They were all grasshoppers in the same boat. If they didn't work together at this time, were they just going to watch the boat sink?
