Chapter 1: Start in a Haunted House



Fan Zhiyi put it on.

When he realized this clearly, he was hiding in a dark corner with his mouth covered.

His heart was pounding so hard that it almost jumped out of his chest, and a thin layer of cold sweat appeared on Fan Zhiyi's forehead. He tried desperately to slow down his breathing.

If possible, he would rather not be able to breathe so that he wouldn't have to worry about being discovered, but this is not realistic.

Sometimes in extremely stressful situations, the mind can reach an extreme state of calm.

So, while crouching in the corner, Fan Zhiyi kept recalling every detail of his escape, refining it over and over again, and communicating in his mind with the system codenamed Baibai: "So, I have traveled to an ancient horror novel?"

In the real world, when it comes to horror, Fan Zhiyi is the type who is both novice and playful. He usually has a little hobby and likes to read novels with horror elements. When he thinks about them in the middle of the night, he will be so scared that he dare not turn off the lights. He can only cover himself tightly with his quilt and perform the quilt sealing technique.

As the saying goes, there are rules in the ghost world that cannot harm people hiding under the quilt.

It was just such a Fan Zhiyi. As soon as he crossed over and opened his eyes, the system in his mind sternly warned him to cover his mouth and not make any sound, and to run in a certain direction, and then he ended up in the current situation.

"It's okay for you to think so, but it's not right. It's not right at this time..." Baibai kept muttering in Fan Zhiyi's mind. Fan Zhiyi didn't understand what it meant by "not right". He was more concerned about what kind of situation he was in.

"Let's put it this way..."

As soon as Bai Bai finished speaking, Fan Zhiyi sensed something in reality and looked up, his pupils suddenly constricting.

The face in front of him was vaguely recognizable as a woman's face, with the corners of her mouth exaggeratedly extended to the back of her ears, revealing scarlet flesh.

The key point is that her body looked like it had broken bones, her legs were standing upright, her waist was bent in a twisted state, her head was lowered to the extreme and then raised, her rolling eyes looking at Fan Zhiyi.

"I found you, I found you!" Her voice was sharp and thin, her facial features were distorted, like a madman, and a strange light burst out of her eyes.

A pungent mixture of smells kept pouring in, making people feel sick.

Fan Zhiyi was terrified. Under the ghost's sharp white teeth, out of instinct for survival, he pulled up his two white-faced legs and grabbed the ghost with his head, running away: "Damn it, system, you didn't tell me to play like this, why is this thing so scary!"

He was not used to the ancient robe he was wearing, it was dragging, so Fan Zhiyi took it off and took the opportunity to look back.

The clothes that the female ghost wore looked dirty and mottled under the dim moonlight. I don’t know what they were stained with, but it’s easy to associate them with bad things.

She twisted her body to recover, staring at Fan Zhiyi with an increasingly ferocious expression on her face. The kitchen knife in her hand gleamed coldly, and then she rushed out like an arrow, her bones crackling as she ran, staggering and laughing as she chased after him very quickly.

Fan Zhiyi was so scared that tears came out, and all his focus was on escaping.

The wind blew on my face, as if it was going to scratch my skin, and the air was filled with a rotten and damp smell.

He didn't dare stop, feeling that he had never been so fast in the 800-meter test before.

"Host, run this way." The white mechanical voice sounded again, and the route in front of Fan Zhiyi instantly became clear. In the darkness, only the correct road was glowing, and it was difficult to go wrong.

Fan Zhiyi had no doubts about it. While still marveling at how useful the cheat was, he followed Bai Bai's instructions and ran to the Nine-Curve Corridor over the pond.

All the lotus flowers in the pond have withered, creating a desolate scene.

Suddenly, pairs of pale hands stretched out from the water, even reaching the corridor, as if something would crawl ashore at any time.

Fan Zhiyi didn't dare to look or think too much, and ran for his life: "Oh my god, Bai Bai, are you sure you don't want to kill me?"

"Dear host, based on your speed and the speed of the female ghosts, you will definitely be caught up if you take the long way around. It's better to take a shortcut and try your best. What if you can avoid being caught by these ghosts? The map shows that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line."

"Then why do you have a way to go through walls? Do you want me to just charge through like a fake veteran?"

The road that shines before my eyes leads wildly and without any turns to the invisible future behind the wall.

Baibai was silent, then manually turned a corner on the road.

Fan Zhiyi: “…6.”

"Host, come on! The female ghost can't pass through the corridor and can only take a long detour. This is your chance."

Fan Zhiyi did not look back or hesitate. He followed the route through the circular archway and the deserted courtyard and came to the door of a room. The bright road disappeared into it.

Fan Zhiyi pushed the door open and walked in, then immediately closed the door behind him. The series of movements were extremely smooth.

"Host, there is a bolt."

"Is this thing useful against ghosts? Can't ghosts pass through doors?" Although he was complaining, Fan Zhiyi still obediently put the bolt on the door to give himself peace of mind.

At this time, Fan Zhiyi felt his legs go weak and he knelt on the ground, covering his mouth and gasping for breath.

His legs were shaking, his whole body was shaking like a sieve, and his mind was blank.

Fan Zhiyi tried to stand up, but found that his legs were so weak that he couldn't support his body at all.

"Host, you can take a short break. The female ghost cannot come in here for the time being. We will leave this haunted house first." The white electronic voice was particularly calm, which gave Fan Zhiyi a little peace of mind.

"Why can't she get in? You said before that she wouldn't come so soon, but what happened? A sudden attack! Do you know how deadly a sudden attack can be? I almost lost my life here. I wasn't mentally prepared at all!"

"Well, because you, the host, are injured, your physique here is special, and your blood can attract ghosts." Bai Bai explained, "But, the timing of the time you traveled through time is wrong."

"What do you mean?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard rustling sounds coming from the side.

All the hairs on Fan Zhiyi's body stood up and his back tensed. Damn it, if there was another ghost, he really couldn't run anymore.

Fan Zhiyi froze in place, and the other party did not move.

Curiosity kills the cat, and both sides are well aware of this truth, so for a while a strange balance is formed that no one breaks.

"The host is a child, a living person." Bai Bai analyzed.

"Child?" Fan Zhiyi had no strength in his legs and his hands were a little weak, so he used his hands and feet to crawl forward a little. He felt some powder on his hand, and he lifted it up and smelled it.

"It's incense ash." Bai Bai said, "There used to be a magic circle here that could temporarily resist the attacks of ghosts for defense. But now the power is dissipating, and your blood, the host, will attract them all. When the power of the ghosts reaches a certain level, the magic circle here will lose its effect prematurely."
