During that time, Xiao Jin glanced at him and noticed that the red line on Xiao Shuai's neck seemed to have faded considerably.
Out of sight, out of mind; and also to prevent him from doing anything rash, after some discussion, everyone decided to seal the door to the second bedroom.
During this time, Xiao Shuai didn't make a fuss or cause any trouble; he just stared straight at the air in front of him.
Xiaoyu and Xiaomei seemed to sense the tension and danger in the air. They sat close together, their hands unconsciously clasped together.
Therefore, when Cui Mingyang suggested that they stay in the relatively safe living room, they hesitated for a moment, but still agreed, after all, there is strength in numbers.
As soon as the clock struck 7:30, the surroundings fell silent instantly, as if time had frozen. An ominous chill filled the air, creeping up everyone's spines.
It's here!
The group exchanged glances.
'Sizzle~' Xiao Jin silently held the shattered shadow in her palm.
Not long after, accompanied by the faint sound of metal clashing, a series of chaotic footsteps came from outside the door.
They could all clearly hear the door locks being turned one by one and the creaking of the door hinges turning. Then, these unidentified figures crowded into Xiao Jin and the others' door like a tide.
Through the shadows peeking through the door cracks below, you can see that they completely enclose the narrow space.
Everyone inside was on edge, gripping their props tightly.
Just then, a short, forceful knocking sound came from outside the door.
The sound was particularly jarring in the quiet night.
"Hi, I brought some late-night snacks, want to eat together?"
The voice coming from outside the door had an eerie quality to it; it seemed to be distorted by some force, sounding both like a deep male voice and a sharp female voice, making it difficult to distinguish.
Xiaomei and Xiaoyu exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with fear and unease.
Their already tense nerves completely collapsed at this moment, especially after hearing the word 'eat', and they couldn't help but scream.
Their voices were sharp and piercing, breaking the silence of the night.
Chen Ming quickly stepped in front of the two, his hands clenched into fists, his eyes blazing.
The muscular man standing not far from the door couldn't help but shout, "We don't eat late-night snacks, you can take them!"
Upon hearing this, everyone nervously observed the doorway. The air seemed to freeze, and even breathing became cautious.
But after a brief pause, the sounds outside suddenly erupted into a violent pounding on the door, as fierce as a storm, each impact sending shivers down their spines.
"Open the door now!!" The shout, carrying an undeniable threat, pierced through the door panel.
Clearly, the other party is determined to achieve their goal, and you have no choice but to eat it.
Their hearts raced, as if they were about to burst from their chests, but they weren't too panicked. After exchanging glances, they had already made up their minds and were ready to proceed according to plan.
The door in front of them was covered with talismans by Cui Mingyang, which shimmered with a ghostly blue light. Although it seemed indestructible for a short time, if the stalemate continued, it would only be a matter of time before it was broken.
Chen Mingchuan slowly squatted down not far from the doorway, his hands clenched tightly. He took a deep breath, and suddenly a dazzling light shone from his hands.
Immediately afterwards, he quickly tossed a seemingly ordinary seed through the crack in the door. The seed tumbled in the air and soon rolled outside.
Just as everyone held their breath in anticipation, the seed seemed to come alive, instantly sprouting and rapidly growing larger and taller, transforming into a cactus about two meters tall.
The cactus completely sealed off the space outside the door, and the banging on the door stopped abruptly, followed by a series of shocked and angry roars.
The cactus not only blocked the door, but its sharp thorns also turned the evil spirits outside into pincushions.
As everyone listened, there were first roars and screams outside the door, followed by "splattering" sounds, as if someone was tearing apart the flesh of a cactus.
However, Chen Mingchuan's prop was not an ordinary plant seed; the cactus it produced had thorns as sharp as steel needles.
Its pulp possesses an incredible regenerative ability.
Even if it is frantically dug up, it will quickly regenerate new fruit pulp.
…………
For now, there's no need to worry about the outside door.
Inside the living room, the muscular man and Li Qi exchanged a quick glance. Without hesitation, they simultaneously activated their skills and slammed them towards the ceiling.
A flash of light, accompanied by a deafening roar, and a huge hole appeared above everyone's heads, revealing a dark room above.
Considering that everyone's rooms have basically the same layout, they had already calculated every detail when they decided to drill a hole, trying to avoid the sofas and chairs upstairs.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Jin walked to the bottom of the cave entrance, stepped on the edge of the sofa next to her, and easily jumped to the fifth floor.
Upon entering the fifth floor, Xiao Jin's sharp gaze swept across the dimly lit room.
After a while, and confirming that there was no unusual activity around her, she slowly loosened her grip on the hilt of the knife and said to the people below, "Come on up."
As soon as the words were spoken, several figures landed lightly on the ground of the fifth floor, raising a fine cloud of dust.
Next, the people who came up first were responsible for pulling up the two NPCs as well.
Once everyone had arrived, they looked around and saw that the room was very cold and deserted, covered in dust, and showed no signs of life.
Old furniture was scattered everywhere, covered with a thick layer of dust, and the air was thick with the smell of mildew, making it look particularly desolate.
Apart from the wide-open doors, the house was empty, but there were human footprints on the floor.
