Chapter 228: Ghost strikes again? A figure made of abyssal worms
Lin Jiu, who was touching his stomach and wondering when dinner would be served, received news from the country.
[Players are missing in other instances, but the livestream is completely black, so we can't get any useful information. You and everyone else, please stay safe.]
Xia Minghai posted a lot of information at once, including mentioning that the butlers had also disappeared in several copies, and the people in the Ghost Story Research Department believed that the missing players might be in the basement.
Because a player had entered the basement before, the live broadcast room screen was completely black, and that player had been eliminated.
The message also ended with Xia Minghai's caring words.
May you return safely.
After reading the message from the country, Lin Jiu moved his neck slightly and left.
He raised his hand to signal Charles and Ivan to come over, and the three of them went upstairs together and walked towards the butler's room.
Coincidentally, people from Group 2 were coming towards us.
Their faces were all solemn.
"The housekeeper is missing?" Lin Jiu asked.
Hicks was stunned and asked subconsciously: "How do you know?"
Charles and Ivan looked at each other.
"Go downstairs first." Lin Jiu did not answer.
When we arrived at the living room, everyone was there.
Lin Jiu did not deliberately avoid Todd and told him some important information from the message sent by the country.
After listening to this, Todd lifted the black cloth and took a look at the painting on the coffee table.
The next second, he pulled the black cloth off.
Almost at the same time, lightning split the sky and deafening thunder sounded.
In the painting, there is no figure of the butler, and neither is Laura.
Todd frowned slightly.
But Lin Jiu suddenly said something that didn't fit the mood: "I'm so hungry. Do we have to take care of dinner ourselves?"
Todd, who is thinking about his next action plan:?
He was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether he was led astray or what, but after coming to his senses, he replied, "Of course."
Since the butler is missing, it is natural for them to take care of dinner.
"So, the butler and that lady are in the basement now?" Eugene suddenly spoke at this time.
Hicks nodded beside him: "Of course it is, but we shouldn't go into the basement now."
After all, the situation inside is somewhat special.
Even the live broadcast room screen cannot be displayed.
Charles stood beside Lin Jiu and asked in a low voice what he wanted to eat for dinner.
Lin Jiu pondered without answering, lost in thought.
Todd looked at this somewhat fragmented scene with a puzzled look on his face.
Why are you guys talking about different things?
After a moment of confusion, Todd cleared his throat.
Seeing everyone looking at him, he nodded with satisfaction.
"So, those who can cook, go to the kitchen and prepare dinner for everyone. The rest of you, see if you can find the housekeeper. Remember, stay away from the utility room."
At the same time, he also asked someone to call Essen and his two children down.
At this time, it is better for everyone to stay together.
Although Todd didn't want Ethan to come down.
Everyone went to search the second floor, while Lin Jiu slowly moved towards the utility room under Todd's disapproving gaze.
In response to this, Todd could only helplessly show his dead fish eyes and look at Lin Jiu quietly, but did not stop him.
Hicks and Eugene went up to the third floor, but when they came down, Essen was nowhere to be seen.
Hicks held Anna's hand with a serious expression and said, "Essen is missing too."
The painting on the coffee table remained unchanged.
Unlike Laura and the housekeeper who disappeared quietly, Essen's disappearance left traces.
The balcony of his room was wide open, and the newspapers stuck to the glass were rustling in the wind. Standing on the balcony and looking down, one could vaguely see traces of dragging.
The previous thunder seemed to have coincidentally covered up the noise.
Apparently, a ghost broke into Essen's room and kidnapped him.
It started drizzling outside again. Charles walked to the balcony, put one hand behind his ear, and listened attentively to the sounds around him.
Soon, he heard a very faint sound of being dragged and a struggling sound that could only make "mumbling" sounds because the mouth was blocked.
Charles didn't say where it was loudly, but pointed to the corner.
Due to the low visibility, no one saw Essen's legs being pulled into the corner.
"That thing moves very slowly," Charles said.
"Do you want to chase her?" Eugene asked, tilting his head.
Todd stayed in the living room to prevent any accidents. When Lin Jiu was away, Charles became the backbone.
They could have easily given up on Essen.
Lin Jiu and Todd's attitude towards the Smiths was wrong from the beginning, and they thought the couple was very strange.
However, the result of doing so is likely to affect the final mission score. After all, their current identity is exorcist, and they came here on behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
If you give up on Essen when you know where he is now, the system will definitely deduct a lot of points.
Besides, who knows what would happen if Ghost killed Ethan and the others.
So Charles nodded without hesitation, "Chase."
Charles, Ivan, and Eugene jumped from the balcony together.
This height is nothing to them now.
at the same time.
Essen was being dragged through the muddy ground by a dark figure.
However, there was nothing in his mouth.
It wasn't some kind of rope that tied him up.
A closer look reveals that the "rope" on Essen's body is actually made up of a large number of abyss worms.
The reason why Essen didn't dare to open his mouth was because his face was covered with abyss worms. As long as he opened his mouth, these disgusting worms would swarm into his mouth.
He didn't even dare to breathe.
Similarly, the person who was dragging Essen at this time was not just a human.
Under intentional manipulation, the abyss worms formed a human figure, but for some reason, their movement speed was very slow.
But the goal is clear.
It wants to go around from the backyard to the front yard.
When Charles and the other two chased after him, they did not notice the abyss worms on Essen at first, nor did they realize that the figure was made up of abyss worms.
Until Ivan fired a shot.
Due to the distance, they could only see the black shadow pause slightly, and then a rustling sound was heard, and the gap on the black shadow was instantly filled.
It ignored the three people behind it and continued to slowly drag Essen forward.
But compared to just now, it seems to be faster.
It seems that he has adapted to it.
Perhaps realizing that most people in the castle had run to the third floor, the black shadow walked to the front yard and then headed towards the castle.
Charles came to his senses and realized that the shadow was probably going to take Essen to the basement.
After all, in the entire castle, the person who can control the shadows is most likely the ghost.
"That's disgusting."
When Eugene discovered that Essen was also covered with abyss worms, he felt terrible.
Seeing this scene, he almost imagined himself being covered with abyss worms.
