"You choose a path..." the ghost girl grinned. "Life or death depends on your luck."
Lu Cai looked out the door at the dizzying corridor of fragments. "I told you to lead the way—" He glanced sideways at the ghost girl and said, "If you dare to play tricks, I'll exorcise you right here."
The female ghost gnashed her teeth, but recalling the miserable state of the long-haired ghost, she still obediently asked, "Where are you going? If you want me to take you to the exit, I'm powerless—"
"I won't make it difficult for you. Take me to Room 205." Lu Cai's tone was really considerate of the other party.
The ghost faced the corridor with a smile. "No worries, really no worries." Looking at the debris everywhere—what worries!
If the ghost could still breathe, the female ghost would surely sigh deeply. She remembered that it was Sister Chunling who personally took care of Room 205. Hmm! Find Sister Chunling and teach this ungrateful little girl a lesson!
The female ghost felt the negative energy in many fragments, and finally picked out a palm-sized fragment. She raised her hand and lightly tapped it, then drilled into the fragment. Lu Cai followed closely behind.
When Lu Cai took a step forward, he felt as if he were walking into a colorful kaleidoscope world. The same corridor was repeatedly reflected in multiple mirrors. The red carpet, white walls, and brown doors made him dizzy.
She followed the female ghost and kept walking forward. The light in the mirror flickered, and the sound of high heels stomping sounded behind her. She followed them slowly.
Lu Cai did not look back. In this situation, if he looked back, he might be attracted to somewhere else.
The female ghost was walking not far in front of him, and the mirrors around her slowly receded. Seeing that they were about to walk into the normal corridor, the female ghost turned her head 180 degrees to the back and grinned at Lu Cai.
"Good man, I can lead the way, but I will not help you deal with my companions--" said the female ghost, her swollen face twisted into a ball.
The female ghost was afraid of being reduced to ashes, and had no feelings towards the long-haired ghost. Lu Cai thought that if she threatened her, the female ghost would be forced to betray her companions.
"With your limited abilities, why would I ask you for help? Do I think I'm too capable and want to make things difficult for myself?" Lu Cai was puzzled.
The ghost girl turned her head back to the front, and the smile on her face disappeared without a trace. If you are still looking for her to lead the way, go find another ghost! Where is the angry ghost?
Stepping onto the red carpet in the corridor, the illusory mirror slowly faded away, and my feet stepped on the carpet, light and soundless. But the footsteps behind me continued to follow closely, the footsteps becoming dull, but still neither hurried nor slow.
Lu Cai was on guard, stopped and looked back.
Behind him was a long corridor with a red carpet extending all the way to a corner not far away. The light tube flickered slightly, but no one was seen.
"What's wrong?" The female ghost also stopped and asked, her tone full of gloating.
"I want to find a little sister to keep you company." Lu Cai answered calmly.
The female ghost became autistic and ignored her again.
Just a simple argument could make this female ghost angry, and she always sulked. Lu Cai looked at the female ghost's outfit again and guessed that she must have been a spoiled girl from a wealthy family in her lifetime.
But it was this little girl from a well-off family who lingered in this hotel after her death and actually became a small boss.
Compared to the scary-looking long-haired ghost, the female ghost in front of him should be even scarier. She can disguise herself as the victim's friend, knows how to seek benefits and avoid harm, and thinks about her own interests first when her companions are killed. Even if she is imprisoned, she will use ghostly means to lure others into the trap from time to time.
If the long-haired ghost's rationality as a human had not been worn away to the point of being almost gone, Lu Cai would not have chosen to keep the female ghost. After all, the female ghost looked silly, but her words and actions concealed a kind of innocent cruelty.
Lu Cai continued walking forward. The door to Room 205 was always a few steps away, but he could not reach the end no matter how hard he walked.
She stopped and thought that if she continued walking like this, she would never reach 205 even if she died.
The footsteps behind me also stopped.
"What are you doing?" The female ghost was a little curious. She watched Lu Cai slowly raise his hand and touch the wall beside him.
Lu Cai did not answer, but gently touched the wall with his fingertips. The snow-white wall paint began to turn yellow, and finally, as if blood was flowing out, a red spot appeared in the center of the yellowed wall.
The female ghost shrank her neck. This was the red spot that killed the long-haired ghost.
Evil spirits like to trap their prey with illusions, but they don't realize that this behavior exposes themselves to their prey.
Because everything in the illusion is the true form of evil spirits.
And for someone like Lu Cai who can use "replication infection" to devour his opponent, it is really like "if you don't take the road to heaven, you will break into hell without a door" -
Sure enough, the corridor began to shake violently, and dust and stone chips fell.
The red carpet under my feet began to tremble, as if it was being shaken by someone, and after a while, it was pulled backwards.
Lu Cai jumped up lightly and looked back at the undulating red carpet, which slowly turned into a long, bright red tongue.
Tongue? She frowned. Dryad grandma?
As his feet landed, Lu Cai held the dagger, guarding against the big tongue.
The tongue seemed to recover and struck the girl quickly.
Lu Cai stared at the red object rushing towards him, his eyes slightly gloomy and fierce.
A flash of a knife flashed, and the tongue rushed before her eyes. The girl leaned sideways, stepping on the wall to avoid the red tongue. The red tongue turned its tip and struck at the black figure in mid-air.
The dagger gleamed coldly, and with a sudden movement of his hand, the dagger pierced into the thick tongue, causing a large amount of blood to flow out of the wound.
The tongue swung violently, then finally retreated as if to escape. The tongue was too strong, and the dagger did not pierce it immediately. With the force of the retreat, the dagger was thrown out.
Lu Cai stood firm and did not immediately chase the escaping tongue. The wall of the corridor trembled slightly and the lights were dazzling.
She turned and ran towards 205. It was only for a moment, the moment when the tongue ghost was severely injured, that the illusion faded and the truth was revealed.
This moment...
Cai Lu grasped the door handle and pushed it hard.
A force surged from the direction where the tongue had retreated, a force that was cold and damp. She rushed forward and stepped into a dim room, with the sound of something heavy falling to the ground at her feet.
I turned around and saw that my tongue was stuck on the door frame, but I couldn't get into the house.
After closing the door, Lu Cai looked down at the female ghost lying on the ground with a resentful look on her face. She was pulled in by Lu Cai's power.
Lu Cai ignored the female ghost and walked inside with his head raised.
Room 205 had the same layout as Room 204, a simple double suite. The lighting inside was as dim as expected, even revealing a faint red tint.
The room was quiet and empty.
Maybe Yue Xiaoyan has already left the side story... Lu Cai frowned and guessed, as long as nothing happened, it would be fine.
"She abandoned you and ran away—" The female ghost had already climbed up from the ground, laughing gleefully, "If I were her, I would run away too. I'm not familiar with you, so why bother myself?"
"Lift up the wooden board here—" Cai Lu pointed to the covered mirror on the wall.
The ghost girl stopped laughing and said, "I told you I won't help you deal with my companions."
Lu Cai laughed: "Oh, attacking here means you are targeting your companions?"
Female ghost???
I originally just wanted to see what the difference was between the mirror in this room and the one in room 204, but who knew I would find an unexpected surprise.
Lu Cai raised his hand and punched the wall.
The crisp sound of a mirror shattering echoed throughout the room, and the wooden planks covering the room buckled at the break. The next second, shrill ghostly cries filled the air.
The female ghost behind him covered her ears, her mouth twisted into a high grin. Sharp teeth were exposed from her sunken lips, and her filthy, swollen fingers sprouted thorny nails.
The ghost leaped forward, but before she could touch the girl's back, the red rope around her neck began to burn. Her movements froze, her smile frozen, and she fell to her knees, clutching her neck with her hands.
Just a slight thought, and the female ghost couldn't hold on any longer. Lu Cai didn't even look back, and punched the mirror again, and the disturbing ghost screams stopped.
She watched the red light filling the room with alarm, the pale crimson turning into a blood-stained crimson. The footsteps that had been following closely in the corridor began to echo in the room.
The female ghost had the courage to pounce, which meant she had someone backing her up.
Lu Cai's eyes moved, carefully scanning every corner of the room, finally landing on the walkway between the windowsill and the bed. The baby-faced girl, wearing a navy blue crew-neck sweatshirt, hugged her knees and lowered her head.
The weird black graffiti on the clothes disappeared...
Two "hehe" chuckles were heard in the air.
Looking closely at the system data on her body, Lu Cai frowned. Yue Xiaoyan's body was indeed covered with light green marks, but he couldn't see the specific system interface.
In the past, when facing players face to face, Lu Cai could extract and copy the opponent's data at will, but at this moment, Yue Xiaoyan's system seemed to be blocked.
She took a few steps toward Yue Xiaoyan, and the floor beneath her feet burst into a vibrant red, like traces of ink. Even in the crimson glow of the room, the traces were particularly conspicuous.
Finally, he stopped at the edge of the bed. Across the snow-white bed, Yue Xiaoyan on the other side slowly raised her chin.
But Lu Cai couldn't see her expression clearly, he only saw a tightly pursed mouth.
"Get out—" Yue Xiaoyan's voice was cold and hinted at chill.
Lu Cai frowned, and considering the ghost's cry just now, he suspected that Yue Xiaoyan was bewitched by an evil spirit.
The footsteps became louder and louder, as if they were right behind him... Lu Cai turned around abruptly and saw the female ghost curled up on the ground like a bug. He felt a chill on the back of his neck.
She raised her elbow and pushed, and a faint red shadow disappeared in mid-air like smoke. A faint red color merged into the wall beside her. Lu Cai didn't hesitate and kicked the wall.
The snow-white wall was cracked, revealing the old cement bricks inside.
The red shadow paused for a moment, and with a flash of the knife, the tip of the knife pinned the red shadow to the wall. The shrill ghostly scream rang out again, making her ears hurt.
He raised his hand and grabbed Hongying, released the dagger, and pushed Hongying onto the bed!
"I'm not an unreasonable person. How about we talk?" Lu Cai thought he was very sincere. He increased the strength of his hand and stepped his right foot on the edge of the bed.
The red shadow being grabbed:!!!
The female ghost whose neck is about to break:!!!
The red shadow on his hand gradually grew larger, and a vague human figure appeared. Lu Cai looked at the young woman gradually becoming visible under his hand and raised his eyebrows.
The woman wore a pale red, old-fashioned qipao, embroidered with a picture of newly blossomed apricot blossoms standing in the wind. Her dark black hair was tied into a bun at the back of her head. Her hair, slightly disheveled, fell across her fair face. Her eyes were raised, and her red lips were smiling, revealing an indescribable tenderness and affection.
Perhaps a good-looking face always has some advantages. Lu Cai looked at his left hand pressing on the woman's bun and couldn't help feeling guilty.
It's really "cruel and cruel"——
"I'll let this girl go, and you let that girl go." The woman smiled, her voice sweet and gentle.
Lu Cai did not let go, but the female ghost on the other end stopped rolling around in pain.
The woman covered her lips with her free hand. "You don't believe me?"
Lu Cai exerted force on his hands, gathering a ball of burning power in his palms, pressing against the back of the woman's head, ready to strike.
"I thought you were heartless, but it turns out you've forgotten everything?" The woman laughed even louder.
As she was smiling, the woman's face was stunned, and the power actually penetrated into her mind.
Often, when confronted by ghosts, people feel a pang of sympathy because they maintain a human appearance. The more human-like they are, the more they can deceive. These ghosts are simply hunting.
Lu Cai is just a prey who may fight back or be killed.
If one day, she died in some remote corner, it would only be... regret. To say she didn't hate her killer would be a lie, but she wouldn't harbor too much of an obsession with revenge either.
Ding-ling-dang-clang——
His mind was shaken, Lu Cai's eyes blurred, and his hands relaxed for a moment, and the cheongsam woman turned into red smoke and flew away.
Lu Cai shook his head, his vision cleared up, and he stood up straight and wanted to chase after him.
Ding-ling-dang-clang——
The ringing continued.
She stumbled, and the cheongsam woman and the female ghost had disappeared without a trace. She turned back to see the source of the ringing sound.
Over on the bed, Yue Xiaoyan sat on the floor, her fingers interlocked, making a gesture and muttering to herself. Above her head hung a bell resembling those found on the eaves of a temple, a bell cover like a bronze bell, and a red string dangling from it, with a copper bead tied to the end.
There was no wind in the room, but the red string and copper beads of the bell were swaying slightly.
Ding-ling-dang-clang——
The ringtone was ethereal and distant, and Lu Cai was momentarily dazed. Then he saw the bustling supermarket entrance, and the bustling voices gradually became clearer. Someone said, "Have a pack of soft-pack Black Liqun..." Lu Cai turned his head and saw cigarettes neatly arranged on the shelf behind him.
She raised her hand and reached out to the vague shadow of the dark soft bag...
The scene before my eyes hurt, and everything was double.
Suddenly, Zhao Manman's rotten face suddenly appeared in front of her!
Lu Cai woke up with a start, and there was still a red light in front of her eyes. She stood still and looked up at the shaking copper bell with a cold look.
Leaping onto the bed, Lu Cai punched the copper bell. Yue Xiaoyan, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly raised her hand and threw out a handful of old copper coins.
Lu Cai ignored the situation and knocked the copper bell down with one punch. The copper coin brushed against the bandage, and the place where they touched was slightly warm.
He swept the copper coins in the air, and there was another sound when the coins fell to the ground. Lu Cai picked up the girl on the ground and strangled her neck.
Yue Xiaoyan was forced to raise her head, grabbed Lu Cai's wrist with one hand, and took out a military dagger with the other hand to stab Lu Cai.
The force of her movement made Lu Cai want to laugh, and he grabbed the dagger. It seemed that Yue Xiaoyan was also a psychic attacker, but her skills were far inferior to Qin Yu's.
Staring at Yue Xiaoyan's eyes, her pupils were unnaturally black and her eyes were lifeless.
Lu Cai looked carefully, hoping to find some unusual digital traces in those dazed eyes.
As long as we can find the abnormal numbers, we may be able to wake Yue Xiaoyan up.
The numbers were jumping, and Lu Cai stared at them closely. Slowly, a pale ceiling appeared before his eyes, pale yellow curtains swayed, and the dazzling light blurred everything in front of him.
Her chest ached, just like the last time she was pierced by the tentacle...
No, it seemed to hurt more! The cold came over her, and she could feel her hands and feet getting colder.
A hand rested on Lu Cai's shoulder, and then both hands were enveloped by warmth, and the strength in their hands was relieved. A light golden light lingered up along her left arm and poured into the bite mark on her shoulder.
His whole body felt warm, as if he was under the early winter sun, and the wound on his shoulder caused by the long-haired ghost's bite healed quickly.
Lu Cai was pushed backwards and steadied himself on the edge of the bed, where he saw a tall figure in a white coat.
Shi Rukui landed on the aisle, grasping Yue Xiaoyan's arm with one hand and raising his other hand to touch the girl's smooth forehead. A pale golden light slowly lit up where their skin touched.
The young man no longer had the smile he'd worn when we first met. His brows were filled with serious concentration, his eyelids lowered, his lips tightly pressed. His unassuming face somehow reassured me.
Seeing him treating Yue Xiaoyan, Lu Cai waved his left arm, jumped lightly off the bed, and began to check the situation in the room.
She also didn't expect that the person in the white coat could actually be a doctor.
Breaking through the levels to get a nanny is considered a win--
Not to mention that his healing ability is quite impressive.
Cai Lu first glanced at the mirror fragments on the ground, and finally walked to the other mirror that had not been opened yet, and carefully removed the painted wooden board.
Over there, Yue Xiaoyan opened her eyes in a daze, looked up and saw a strange face. Perhaps the red light in the room shining on the face scared her, so she opened her eyes wide and hid back.
Shi Rukui let go of her hand and saw the girl staggering dizzy and sitting on the edge of the bed.
"You should rest for a while." His voice seemed to have a natural soothing power.
After Yue Xiaoyan sat down, she lowered her head and saw the copper bell on the ground. "My precious bell!" Her expression was a little dull, and her tone of voice rarely fluctuated. Now, she spoke so excitedly that she seemed to have a certain liveliness.
Shi Rukui, who was about to leave, stopped, picked up the copper bell at his feet and handed it to her.
"Why did it break?" Yue Xiaoyan sighed silently. Repairing the props was another expense.
When Lu Cai heard this, he coughed twice and said, "I'm sorry, I made this..."
Yue Xiaoyan then noticed Lu Cai and seemed to be recalling something. Finally, she said, "Did we fight?"
Upon hearing this question, Lu Cai rubbed the hand that had been pinching Yue Xiaoyan's neck onto his pants.
When Shi Rukui saw Lu Cai's action and thought about the scene when he just broke into the house, he couldn't help but smile: "You have been possessed." He said to Yue Xiaoyan.
The girl's face immediately turned dark, and she stumbled and fell into the hands of her fellow practitioner!
He didn't know why Yue Xiaoyan was angry, and Lu Cai didn't dare to ask. If he asked her to pay a copper bell, she would go to the community to cheat and deceive...
He shifted his gaze to the two players and analyzed the system data one by one.
This branch story still has two tasks:
01. Find the "Eye of the Ghost Mirror"; 02. Purify the "Eye of the Ghost Mirror".
So what is the "Ghost Mirror Eye"?
"What should we do next?" Yue Xiaoyan put away the bell and had no intention of asking Lu Cai to compensate her for the time being. She just looked up at the two of them.
Lu Cai thought of the woman and the female ghost who had just escaped: "We can catch a ghost and ask for clues——"
Both of them turned their eyes to her.
......
In less than half an hour, the swollen-faced female ghost knelt in front of them.
The spots on the ghost girl's neck had spread to her chin and collar. She whimpered miserably, "My dear, a ghost under the eaves has no choice but to bow her head—"
Lu Cai sat on the edge of the bed with a half-smile on his face, crossed his legs, and looked down at the female ghost crying for a long time, but the other party didn't squeeze out a single tear.
Seeing that her pity-mongering was ineffective, the female ghost stopped crying and lowered her head without saying a word.
"What's your name?" Lu Cai asked slowly after seeing that she was at peace.
The female ghost hesitated for a moment, stole a glance at Lu Cai, met his gaze, and then looked away: "My...my name is Xiaoxiao."
"Xiaoxiao?" Lu Cai called out tentatively. The female ghost's body trembled slightly, as if there was a flood and a beast in front of her.
Lu Cai sighed: "I'm pretty good to you, right?"
Xiaoxiao almost rolled her eyes.
"--You tried to harm me several times and even ran away halfway. I didn't kill you directly." Lu Cai had a kind face.
Xiao Xiao suppressed the urge to snort coldly. After putting such a terrible thing on someone, she couldn't escape! But she didn't dare. The sick and dead-looking girl in front of her had even injured Sister Chunling.
Thinking of Chunling recovering from his serious injuries, Xiaoxiao clenched her fists again. She could ignore the fact that she was bullied, but she must avenge her sister Chunling!
The erythema was then passed through by a scalding hot current.
Xiao Xiao quickly lowered her head and said, "This man is the kindest and most generous man I have ever met!"
Yue Xiaoyan and Shi Rukui, who were standing by, had never seen such a scene before. How could such a powerful ghost become a lackey?
Being a ghost isn't easy either, the face-changing technique is truly superb...
Lu Cai nodded with satisfaction: "Do you know the 'Ghost Mirror'?"
Xiaoxiao nodded quickly, and the three of them were delighted.
"We are in a ghost mirror!" Xiaoxiao was full of joy. "Every mirror that has ghosts living in it is a 'ghost mirror'!"
Lu Cai was thoughtful: "Have you heard of the 'Ghost Mirror Eye'?"
Xiaoxiao tilted her head in confusion: "The eyes of the ghost mirror?"
Lu Cai narrowed his eyes and his voice deepened: "Don't act stupid in front of me."
Not to mention Xiaoxiao, even Yue Xiaoyan and Shi Rukui beside her felt chills down their spines and a chilling wind.
Xiaoxiao answered tremblingly: "I really don't know..." The last word was trembling.
The pain just now was so severe that she would rather be liberated right where she is than suffer that pain again.
Lu Cai looked at Xiao Xiao with a stern gaze, trying to discern whether this dishonest female ghost was lying. Given the current situation, she wasn't going to send Xiao Xiao away directly. They needed an interpreter who understood the situation in the mirror. The only way to deal with Xiao Xiao was to use Red Spot...
Looking at the little girl's messy hair and swollen cheeks, the red spots on her neck are particularly eye-catching.
He sighed. After all, Lu Cai was not a pervert who liked to torture others. Killing someone with a knife directly and torturing or coercing someone in front of his eyes were two different concepts after all.
Bang!
The door was broken by a violent collision——
Lu Cai quickly stood up and pulled Xiao Xiao, who was kneeling on the ground, over to him. A huge, fat tongue came towards him.
