Chapter 035 Chapter 35

"You come?" Jing Qin looked at the middle-aged man with disdain, "Uncle, how many steps can you run?"

The middle-aged man smiled awkwardly and touched his slightly round belly: "It's okay. I've participated in marathons before."

Jing Qin sneered: "Don't commit suicide."

The middle-aged man with his head drooped really looked hard to believe.

"I'll go." Lu Ren said.

Jing Qin immediately said, "No."

Lu Ren: "I used to be on the sports team."

Jing Qin snorted, "A loser who was eliminated."

Lu Ren looked unhappy and glared at Jing Qin: "Can't you stop talking about this?"

Jingqin retorted: "Then stop talking about the sports team! In fact, you just made the selection team, but then you failed and were kicked out!"

“It’s amazing to be on the selection team!”

“If you don’t actually get in, you’re a failure!”

"Now is not the time to argue about this," Guan Haoguang said, "The female corpse is about to come out."

The two of them froze and shut their mouths.

"Let's not talk about who the bait is, how can there be a rule to catch it." Qin Yi asked, "Does anyone have any ideas?"

"First, you need to prepare your weapons." The girl with the ponytail said, "You must not get close to her. You need something longer."

Qingtong raised the umbrella in his hand.

A male tourist shook his head: "It's a bit short, and there's not much of it."

Someone looked up at the tree and said, "How about cutting some branches to make sticks?"

"How do you cut it? With that folding fruit knife? It will take three hours to finish it."

"Well..." the young man in the black baseball cap whispered, "I have a wire saw."

The others were stunned.

Li Wen asked curiously, "What is that?"

"It's a piece of equipment for surviving in the wild." Qin Yi replied, "It can be used to saw wood and make fire in the wild. It's not as convenient as a steel saw, but it's easy to carry."

The thin strand looks like a thread, but it is very strong and durable. An experienced person can use it to saw down a tree as thick as an arm in just a few minutes.

"There are actually people who carry things like this." Someone whispered.

The young man in the baseball cap pulled the brim of his hat and lowered his head to hide his embarrassment.

Qin Yi looked at the young man carrying the oversized backpack and said nothing.

Bringing this kind of thing up the mountain probably means secretly sawing some wood to take home. As long as the whole tree is not cut down and the plant is not protected, few people will investigate if they cut off some branches and twigs. Of course, if you are caught, you will still be fined.

Jing Qin recognized him: "You recognized the wood used for the bed in the side hall before. You know a lot about these things."

The young man in the baseball cap blushed: "I... am interested in making small wood carvings..."

"Okay, it's time for us to take action." Qin Yi interrupted their conversation. Now was not the time to go into details.

Whether it's the immoral act of stepping on a Buddha statue to take photos, or secretly taking a wire saw to cut wood and take it home, we have to wait until they return alive before we can say anything about it.

"Let me help!" the young man in the baseball cap stood up and said.

A few young people went to select a suitable tree, drew a line about one meter long, and then simply used a knife to carve it into a stick. They didn't need it to be smooth, as long as it was easy to hold.

While a group of people were busy preparing their weapons, the female corpse had already staggered out of the temple. Unable to detect any signs of human life in the distance, the female corpse was wandering aimlessly like a zombie.

"It will be fine as long as we hide well." A girl whispered, "Do we have to catch her?"

"We are still trapped here." Jing Qin gritted her teeth, "I want to leave more than you do, but as long as that damn ghost wall doesn't disappear, nothing will end! I don't want to starve to death here."

When I don't know anything and don't understand anything, the only way I can think of to leave here is to "kill monsters and pass the level", right?

It's better to try than to wait for death.

"We only have more than 30 people." the girl whispered.

Jing Qin gritted her teeth and said, "Yes."

Yes, there are only more than 30 people left here.

The rest left.

Some left because they had completely lost confidence, some left because they were in poor health and didn't want to hold others back, some were injured, and some... died.

The place where the ghosts were trapped on the way up and down the mountain must have been very crowded, with so many survivors stuck there. They were the only ones willing to stay and continue to fight.

"Actually, I want to leave too," Jing Qin said.

Who made her partners so stubborn? She didn't think she was a good person, but she just couldn't abandon her friends and survive on her own.

"It's a blessing to know you guys." Jing Qin turned around and said, "Are you done? That thing has come down! It's coming to the observation deck!"

"Okay!" Qin Yi replied.

Eight young men held sticks, and a few held umbrellas. Qingtong held one in her hand. Then Lu Shuyun and the girl with ponytails and a few other girls held the two ends of the rope.

"I'll lead her to the taut rope," the middle-aged man said, "and then you guys run around her when you see a chance and try to tie her up inside the rope. If she tries to break free, use sticks and umbrellas to hit her. If you don't have weapons, help her throw stones at her."

It can be said that the allocation is very clear.

"I suddenly thought of a movie I watched before," Lu Ren said, "that zombie movie."

"There is no glutinous rice or black dog blood here." Jing Qin whispered.

Li Wen: "Those things are effective against weird things?"

No one spoke. After a while, the young man in the baseball cap said, "Who knows?"

When the action was about to begin, the atmosphere became depressing.

Will the operation go smoothly? Will someone be caught by her? Will they die? Will that person... be me?

Everyone was thinking this, feeling heavy in their chest.

"I should have prepared a suicide note earlier." Someone wiped his nose, "I had a quarrel with my mother yesterday and I haven't even said sorry yet."

After he opened his mouth, the others also started talking in low voices.

"I want to have a good talk with my family and say goodbye."

"I can't even send a single text message. What the hell."

"Leave a message on your phone. As long as this place is not permanently closed, it will definitely be sent back."

"Woo..."

"What are you crying for?" Jing Qin exploded again, "We may not die here! Even if someone dies, that person will definitely not be me!!"

She straightened her chest and said confidently.

Jing Qin's tone was fierce, but it unexpectedly gave everyone courage.

"Okay, I'm going to go now." said the middle-aged man.

Lu Ren stepped forward and wanted to say something, but the middle-aged man waved his hand and said, "If I can't do it, you can help me."

Everyone stood up straight, pulling ropes or holding weapons, staring at the middle-aged man and the female corpse.

The middle-aged man stretched his legs as a warm-up exercise, and then jumped a little, with his round belly bouncing slightly.

Jing Qin's mouth twitched as she watched. Is this guy... really okay?

Of course, she would not say aloud that she would let Lu Ren take her place, so she kept her complaints in her heart.

"I'm going!"

The middle-aged man roared, then slowly approached the female corpse, testing the distance between them.

Thirty meters, ten meters, five meters.

Finally, the female corpse rushed towards the middle-aged man like a wolf that smelled the aroma of food.

The middle-aged man turned around and ran. His slightly round body made him look ugly and unruly when he ran, but his speed was not slow. He kept a distance of two to three meters from the female corpse. When he reached the rope, he slid under the rope like a shovel.

The girls holding both ends of the rope grabbed the rope tightly and started running. The middle end of the rope touched the female corpse, and the girls nervously began to run around the female corpse.

After running only half a circle, the female corpse opened her huge mouth and screamed, but her vocal cords were rotten and no sound came out. The female corpse still stared at the middle-aged man in front of her and started to chase after him.

The four girls who were pulling the rope were all pulled to the ground and were dragged along by the female corpse.

"ah--"

The ground of the observation deck had long been covered with dirt and stones. Several girls were dragged by the ropes and rubbed against the ground, and soon got scratches. One girl was so unlucky that her arm was rubbed against a sharp stone, leaving a long bloody cut.

One girl couldn't stand the pain and let go, leaving three girls hanging on the rope.

With one less person pulling, the female corpse moved even faster. She suddenly rushed out and knocked down the middle-aged man who had run to the edge of the observation deck.

"Uncle——" Someone stood on the observation deck and looked down.

The observation deck was at least ten meters high, and there were lush trees below. The middle-aged man disappeared as soon as he fell into it.

No reply, probably the person is gone.

"Catch her first!" someone shouted.

Even if you want to save people, you have to do it after resolving the crisis.

Others immediately stepped forward to help pull the rope. It took five boys to help and finally grab the female corpse and the rope.

"It's just like a wild boar charging forward!" someone said.

Several girls immediately stood up and grabbed the rope tightly, then let go and stood up, hesitated for half a second, and rushed up to help.

There were several people at both ends of the rope, and they finally grabbed the female corpse.

After several people grabbed the rope, they started running around the female corpse. The female corpse struggled hard, and the prepared wooden sticks and umbrellas came in handy, hitting the female corpse with crackling sounds.

The female corpse was hit so hard that she had no power to fight back.

Taking advantage of this gap, several people tied up the female corpse with a rope and tied a knot behind the corpse.

It was quite dangerous when tying the knots, as they were already one meter close to the female corpse. If it weren't for the people holding sticks to cover them, they would probably have been bitten by the female corpse.

After tying him up, he kicked him to the ground. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and bandaged the wounds of their injured companions.

Except for one boy who was knocked out by the female corpse and suffered a broken bone, the others were just skin wounds and they just needed to go back and disinfect them.

A few people were preparing to go down to find the middle-aged man and discuss which way to go down.

"There's still no signal on the phone." Someone took out his phone, took a look, and said with a wry smile, "What should we do? Should we eliminate her?"

"How do you destroy it? Cut off its neck? That's how zombies are dealt with in stories, right?"

Qingtong waved an umbrella in front of the female corpse, and then looked at everyone else with an expression as if he didn't know what to do.

"Let me try." The young man in the baseball cap volunteered to step forward, holding a wooden stick and approaching.

Qin Yi saw a dark shadow approaching from behind and immediately shouted, "Be careful!"

But it was too late. The small black shadow pounced on the head of the young man in the baseball cap. The young man immediately screamed as if he saw something terrible, and the wooden stick in his hand kept waving, as if he was chasing away a very scary enemy.

If Lu Ren hadn't quickly pulled Qingtong, the stick would have fallen on Qingtong.

"Hold him!" Lu Ren shouted.

The bandaging of the wound and the search for the person had to stop, and several young people took the risk to snatch the stick from the baseball cap youth and pinned him to the ground. However, the youth was still in fear and was still screaming.

"Mad, he's dead, take him away!" Lu Ren shouted.

Several young men dragged the young man in the baseball cap away. During the struggle, the young man's hat fell to the ground and was blown by the wind to the side of the female corpse.

Then, the hat moved on its own, circling around the female corpse.

Everyone was stunned, staring at the hat in a daze.

The hat came alive?

No, it's not the hat that came alive, it's that there is something under the hat.

"Ah~" a baby's voice rang out from under the hat, and then the hat slowly floated up. The translucent baby under the hat turned his head, and stared at Lu Ren with a pair of dark eyes without whites.

This is a naked baby girl. She seems to like this baseball cap very much. Her head under the cap keeps shaking.

"It never ends..." Jingqin sat paralyzed on the ground, she began to despair.

After solving one problem after another, after the strange woman, it was the big Buddha, the female corpse, and now the ghost baby.

What is behind the ghost baby? Did this temple burn many people to death? Did those people also become monsters?

"Forget it, just die if you want to. Die quickly and painfully." Jing Qin cried and laughed.

Others were also beginning to feel overwhelmed; they were tired.

Of course, some people had not given up yet. They quietly approached the ghost baby with wooden sticks and hit it hard. As a result, the sticks passed through the ghost baby's body without causing any harm to it.

On the contrary, the one who was closer was touched by the ghost baby and fell into a horrible hallucination, shouting "Don't kill me" and "Help".

"Just like that little girl, it's a mental attack." Someone whispered.

Obviously, this is someone who has watched the weird live broadcast.

As weird as a ghost, physical attacks are ineffective.

However, everyone present could only use physical attacks, and they had no way to deal with the ghost baby.

The female corpse lying on the ground next to her was still struggling. The sound of cloth tearing could be heard. The rope, which was originally made of strips of a coat, was about to collapse.

"Run." Someone said.

It seemed that they had no choice but to run.

"I can't do it anymore." Li Wen sat on the ground, "Old Qin, I don't have any strength left."

As soon as he finished speaking, his stomach began to growl.

What time is it now? How long has it been since he last had food or water? Li Wen didn't know. He only knew that his vision was beginning to go dark.

Today I really overdrew all the exercise I needed for a month.

"Get up!" Qin Yi gritted his teeth and pulled Li Wen up, "Let's go! Retreat first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a crackling sound, and the rope tied to the female corpse broke.

The female corpse struggled to get up from the ground and staggered towards the person closest to her, who was Guan Haoguang.

Guan Haoguang held the stick and hit the female corpse on the head. The female corpse's head was knocked sideways, and a large piece of rotten scalp and hair fell off, revealing the skull. This scene was so hardcore that Guan Haoguang turned pale.

The female corpse rushed over with its rotten mouth opened.

Qin Yi, who was standing next to him, was so frightened that he immediately ran over to save her, but it was too late. The female corpse was faster and she had already rushed in front of Guan Haoguang.

In a critical moment, people's first reaction is to turn around and run away, and Guan Haoguang did the same. The female corpse's fingers hooked Guan Haoguang's backpack, and Guan Haoguang quickly dropped the bag. In a hurry, the zipper of the bag was pulled open, and a small carved copper mirror fell out.

This was a life-and-death moment, the crisis was imminent, everyone saw the moment when Guan Haoguang was grabbed by the female corpse, they were terrified and anxious, everyone's focus was on Guan Haoguang and the female corpse, no one noticed the falling mirror.

The small mirror was upside down, spinning and falling, and the silver mirror reflected green trees, terrified people, and a rotting female corpse.

The moment the face of the female corpse was reflected, the mirror emitted a silver light, as dazzling as the sunlight reflected on it. The light fell on the female corpse, and she screamed, covering her face and squatting on the ground.

Taking advantage of the moment when the female corpse withdrew her hand, Guan Haoguang had already run out and was pulled away by Qin Yi's hand.

But they did not run, but stopped. Everyone stared at the scene with wide eyes, staring at the female corpse that seemed to have suffered a strong attack, and the silver mirror on the ground.

[Oh my god!]

[Mirror! Antique dealer! I knew it! ! ]

[That antique dealer is definitely weird. The things he sells can hurt the weird! ]

[He has sold several items. Are they all OK? ]

[I don’t know, maybe this is the only special one? ]

【Just this one, there are a lot of things on that stall, but at first glance, not much of it looks real. 】

[Maybe, maybe the things sold in a weird way have weird powers themselves? ]

[No matter what, the whole group doesn't need to be wiped out, and we can fight the weirdos now! ]

[If it had been taken out earlier, so many people wouldn’t have to be sacrificed. ]

[Who would have thought that something I bought from a random stall at a tourist attraction would have this effect? ​​I took it out a long time ago, but it’s good that I can remember that I bought it. ]

【Isn’t it all live broadcast?】

[People at the tourist spots don’t know it’s being broadcast live! ]

[In short, we can be saved now.]

Guan Haoguang couldn't understand why the mirror he bought had such a magical effect that it could force the female corpse to retreat. But at this moment, he didn't care about that much, and hurriedly picked up the mirror, facing the female corpse, and approached cautiously.

The female corpse put down her hands, revealing her half-burnt face, and stared warily at the mirror in Guan Haoguang's hand.

"It works, squad leader!" Guan Haoguang said excitedly, "Although I don't know why, we should be able to get out alive."

Qin Yi didn't think so. He looked at the female corpse and said, "Be careful. She doesn't look afraid of what you have in your hand."

The female corpse looked at the mirror, but completely ignored Guan Haoguang who was holding the mirror. She did not regard the mirror and Guan Haoguang as one, it looked like...

That posture is more like a hunter who is staring at his prey and suddenly finds that his prey is also being stared at by another hunter.

Qin Yi immediately realized that he understood something and shouted, "Drop the mirror! Quick!"

"Ah?" Guan Haoguang looked confused.

The next second, a female figure appeared in the glittering mirror, and the woman smiled at the female corpse and disappeared. Guan Haoguang, who was holding the mirror, trembled as if he had received an electric shock after the woman disappeared from the mirror. Qin Yi immediately stepped forward to grab the mirror and threw it at the female corpse.

The female corpse roared and rushed towards the mirror. A beautiful figure appeared from the mirror and started to fight with the female corpse.

[I just don’t understand. ]

[That's weird, and the mirror is weird too.]

【Two tigers fighting. 】

[So the boys who bought the mirror were just two weird prey.]

[The things given by the antique dealer are really not good things! ! ]

[Not necessarily. If it can be tamed, wouldn't it be a good thing for self-defense? ]

【Oh, most people can't do that. 】

The flash of the mirror was enough to hurt the female corpse. Apparently, the power of the mirror was even stronger. When the female corpse was about to be suppressed, the baby girl crawled over with a smile and hit the mirror hard.

There was a crackling sound, and the mirror shattered. The figure of the woman disappeared, leaving only her body lying motionless on the ground, as if she had lost most of her strength and was unable to move again.

"Is it...over?" someone asked.

No one answered. Everyone stared at the baby girl on the ground. She was grinding her teeth while holding a small mirror with only the frame left.

Clap, clap, clap.

There was applause.

Everyone turned around suddenly and saw a handsome man standing behind them. The man had a cane between his elbows and was clapping slowly.

"Excellent, really wonderful." Bai Yixin stopped clapping and said with a smile, "It's great that you didn't leave. It's a long-awaited good show. I am very satisfied with it."
