Chapter 234 A Close Call
The butler was not hostile and his attitude was good when he proposed cooperation.
but....
"But I refuse!"
The housekeeper was puzzled: "Why?"
"I told you, I don't believe you." Christie said, "I believe my companions too."
After saying that, Christie raised the gun and pointed it at the butler.
The butler was slightly startled, but he did not show any fear. However, he soon realized that something was wrong. He turned his head and looked behind him, and saw Hicks standing not far behind him, with the black muzzle of the gun also pointing at him.
Faced with the situation of being attacked from both front and back, the butler frowned slightly, his face showing a trace of solemnity.
If possible, he wanted to avoid fighting as much as possible.
The butler knew that even if he was not beaten to death, his end would definitely not be good.
So he turned to look at Christie again and said helplessly, "Why are you so hostile to me? Your other partner agreed to my proposal."
Unexpectedly, when these words were spoken, Christie and Hicks sneered at the same time.
"Don't be ridiculous," Hicks said.
Christie even mocked him directly: "Idiot, can you observe more carefully next time? How could Eugene, with his extremely cautious personality, trust you?"
Hearing this, the butler didn't get angry. Instead, he said with a look of regret, "What a shame! You could have still survived." He then suddenly smiled sinisterly, "He really didn't agree with my proposal, so I invited him over while you were sleeping soundly."
This sentence made Christie and Hicks pause and their expressions changed slightly.
There was no way of knowing whether the housekeeper's words were true or not, and because of this, both of them felt a chill crawling up their spines.
The next second, both of them attacked at the same time.
Gunshots rang out. Although the butler looked like an old man, he was very agile and Hicks missed both shots.
Neither Hicks nor Christie were surprised by this result.
After all, not all weird things are sitting ducks.
Christie is much more agile than Hicks. Although one arm is injured, he can move around without any problems.
Unlike the agile Christie, Hicks is very strong. After systematic strengthening and special training, combined with the short knife in his hand that can cause damage, the butler who has been restrained soon had several deep scars that could be seen to the bone.
Some of these wounds healed quickly, while others took a long time to heal.
Christie and Hicks worked in perfect harmony. Although the butler had a lot of bruises on his body, his movements were always agile.
After a while, Christie and Hicks' expressions became even worse.
They were not in their prime, having absorbed a lot of pollution before. Christie soon noticed that the whispers in his ears were getting louder and louder.
He and Hicks looked at each other and saw what the other was thinking.
If you are not in a good state and cannot win the battle quickly, it will only be disadvantageous to your friends.
The butler noticed the intentions of Christy and Hicks, but when he saw Hicks take out a grenade, he couldn't help but change his expression.
"Are you crazy?!"
The butler was horrified and kept backing away, and black mud with a strong smell of pollution began to surge out from under his feet.
His reaction at this time was completely different from his previous calmness. Christy was a little surprised, but he soon realized that the butler was afraid that the movement of the grenade would attract the ghosts.
Thinking of this, Christie's face suddenly changed.
wrong...
Speaking of noise, the previous gunshot was also quite deafening in this space...
Seeing Hicks about to pull out the safety pin on the grenade, Christie's body moved faster than his brain and grabbed his hand to stop him.
Hicks looked puzzled, but the cold wind that followed made him realize something he had previously overlooked.
The butler also sensed the breath. He was more sensitive to the existence of ghosts than Christy and Hicks, but while running away, he did not forget to try to trip the two of them. The black mud formed a human shape and rushed towards the two people not far away.
Christie and Hicks reacted quickly and waved their weapons, but unexpectedly, the black mud seemed to be immune to this physical attack. Although the sharp blade easily cut through the body, it healed instantly.
Christie only had time to raise his hand to block, but was still kicked several meters away.
But in an instant, he reacted quickly and threw out the holy water.
With a "sizzling" sound, the black mud began to melt the moment it came into contact with the holy water. Christy didn't know what happened in the next few moments. When he climbed up, covering the torn wound on his arm, Hicks also fell not far away.
The butler was nowhere to be seen, but Chris didn't care about it. He hurriedly got up and walked to Hicks, taking out a strange item that he had received as a reward in the previous game.
This is a prop that can reduce the sense of presence. The next second after using it, a cloud of black mist floated over.
It seems that he only sent a clone.
Even so, Christie still tensed his body, but the black fog drifted away in one direction with a clear purpose and soon disappeared.
It seems that he went to find the housekeeper.
"Are you okay?" Christie turned and asked Hicks.
The latter covered his chest with his hands, his face a little pale. Although his condition was not good, he nodded to indicate that he was fine.
Christie didn't say anything else, but just stood up silently and helped Hicks to stand up.
"Cough cough..." Hicks coughed twice, and his face became even less pale.
Christie suspected that his ribs were broken, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by the black fog that appeared again.
He tensed his body, and Hicks also noticed the black fog and gritted his teeth to endure it.
Fortunately, this clone left quickly and didn't notice that there were two living people not far away.
Christie breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't dare to stay any longer and helped Hicks leave.
If only Eugene could be found soon...
......
at the same time.
Outside the basement, inside the utility room.
Lin Jiu and Charles are trying other ways to enter the basement.
"I say, just use brute force." Lin Jiu said, pulling Charles' arm.
Charles paused slightly when he heard this.
He turned around and met Lin Jiu's eager gaze.
".....good."
Charles couldn't refuse Lin Jiu's proposal, so he stood up and quietly retreated to a relatively safe distance.
Seeing this, Lin Jiu stood in front of the basement entrance, clenched his fists and struck a pose.
He took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and swung out without any preparation.
However, at the moment when Lin Jiu threw this punch, the entrance to the basement suddenly opened without any warning...
“?!!”
