Chapter 20: Haunted Houses in the Republic of China (Twenty)
[Total number of participants in this game: seven]
[Current number of survivors: Five]
This dungeon has entered the second half, and two of the seven people participating in this game have died.
The one who died last night was Wu Er. Ning Hanqi did not go out but Xiaolu had already brought the information. The night before yesterday, Wu Er successfully killed the two mice according to the method Ning Hanqi taught him, and also successfully escaped back. He had originally avoided the rule of death, but because he relaxed his vigilance for a moment, he ignored the abnormality of breakfast the next day.
According to the other two veteran players, they did not eat breakfast together. Out of caution about food, they, like Chang Yue, quickly discovered the abnormality of the meat buns. However, after they returned, they found that Wu Er had eaten up all his portion, so they knew something was wrong.
Sure enough, something happened last night.
Ning Hanqi had already guessed it when she saw the giant rat corpse, so she said "what a pity".
It doesn't matter how much truth there is in the words of the two old players. They are destined to keep their lives to repay the dead.
The old players, who were unaware of the situation, started moving again after being quiet for two nights. At noon, Xia Yingnuan left with a gloomy face. Xiaolu waited until the dark clouds above the main house dissipated before she sneaked over.
The little puppet in Ning Hanqi's hand was almost finished, with only the last step left...
She used a sharp knife to cut the base of her ring finger, and blood fell on the puppet. The black runes mixed with the blood and merged into the puppet's body. A strange light flashed in its eyes, and then it returned to calm.
She put the small clothes she had sewn before on the puppet, and a cute and adorable version of Xia Yingnuan puppet appeared.
Ning Hanqi looked at his own work, smiled, and casually wrapped the wound with a piece of cloth.
"Sister Ning..." Ning Hanqi knew what the other party wanted to say as soon as Xiaolu opened her mouth.
She raised her hand and made a silencing gesture.
Xiaolu nodded hurriedly and lowered his voice, "I know. I've thought about it all night. I believe you won't lie to me. Yeah, I agree."
She was so nervous that her teeth chattered when she spoke.
Ning Hanqi patted the other person's shoulder and comforted her, "Don't worry, I promise that nothing will happen to you."
Her voice was soft, but it made Xiaolu feel an inexplicable sense of peace. At least her teeth stopped chattering.
"Chang Yueyue said, under normal circumstances I can run away, but you..." Xiaolu's expression was full of worry, "What are you going to do?"
"As long as we proceed according to the plan, there will be no problem." Ning Hanqi looked calm, which also gave Xiaolu some courage.
"Then... you be careful. Chang Yueyue has already gone to find those two people as you said. I hope everything goes well..." Xiaolu prayed to all the gods and immortals he could think of in his heart.
She didn't dare stay for long. After expressing her attitude and telling Ning Hanqi the new information, she left quickly. She felt guilty and was afraid that if she stayed for another second, Xia Yingnuan would become suspicious of her.
In fact, Xia Yingnuan had no time to take care of the things here. Under Chang Yue's instigation, the two hunter players caused some trouble to the dungeon boss. It was not too serious, but very disgusting.
After receiving the "confirmed intelligence," the two players began to prepare. In order to contain Xia Yingnuan, they prepared a number of props, including but not limited to: boy's urine, black dog blood, Five Emperors' coins, a bronze sword with a sinister aura, and so on...
The latter two only made Xia Yingnuan a little uncomfortable, but the former two made her nauseous. The two players threw bronze swords into the pond, then buried Five Emperors' coins in a special pattern in the four corners of the pond. These were indeed effective against ordinary ghosts, but they couldn't stop Xia Yingnuan. What really made her face change suddenly was that one of them tried to evenly spread black dog blood and boy's urine around the pond, while the other took a shovel and dug at the surrounding soil. They had obviously found a key clue...
Where did they find it? I have clearly erased all the clues pointing to this place, and the game has also acknowledged my actions.
Xia Yingnuan's eyes instantly turned blood red.
But just as she was about to take action, an unexpected uninvited guest arrived.
It was Brother Li who died tragically on the first day. Xia Yingnuan knew him. Under the nourishment of this copy, he quickly turned into an evil ghost with hatred and unwillingness, wandering around the copy in confusion. Now he finally met them.
Seeing that there was something exciting to watch, Xia Yingnuan withdrew her hand. Perhaps because she felt guilty, the two men, upon seeing "Brother Li", poured all the remaining materials in their hands on him without hesitation.
Unfortunately, it is daytime now, and the rules are protecting the NPCs who are "humans". These things are of little use except to anger the other party.
The two players also discovered this, so they used human methods to attack each other from behind and cut off "Brother Li's" head.
"Click, click..." The head that fell face down on the ground moved a few times, then slowly turned around.
Xia Yingnuan sat on a branch of a tree and sent a wisp of Yin energy over. "Brother Li's" eyes immediately turned scarlet, his head showed fangs, and he jumped suddenly and bit Brother Zhao's leg directly.
He screamed and tried desperately to throw the head away, but the other party's fangs were embedded too deeply, and he could not pull the head off with his bare hands unless he cut off his own flesh.
Lao Zhang raised the knife and wanted to chop off "Brother Li's" head, but the headless corpse lying motionless on the ground behind him suddenly pounced on him. Lao Zhang felt like a mountain was pressing down on him from behind. He spat out a mouthful of blood, stars in his eyes, and he had difficulty breathing. There was a wailing "crackling" sound from his lumbar spine.
If he didn't do something, he would be crushed in half today.
He took out a small, old tape recorder from his pocket and pressed the player button.
A strange and distorted music began to play from the tape recorder.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Circus of Horrors..."
[Props: Night at the Circus...]
"Ahhhhhh!" "Brother Li" screamed. Influenced by the music, it began to turn into a ghost uncontrollably. It could no longer reverse this change by itself, but the sky was now bright and the time was still between 6am and 6pm.
Under the heavy pressure of the rules, "Brother Li's" body was gradually twisted and destroyed by invisible forces.
No one can break the rules, including Xia Yingnuan.
"Tsk..." The cheerful yet eerie electronic music uncontrollably drilled into Xia Yingnuan's head. The foul power conveyed by the music penetrated deep into her soul. The events of her life flashed through her mind: her father's indifference, her stepmother's viciousness, her brother's hatred, her sister's jealousy... Because of her perverted ex-fiancé's preferences, her sister raised a dagger and pushed her into the pond when she was unsuspecting. Her brother helped her bury his body after the incident, and her stepmother applauded. Her father punished the brother and sister by making them kneel in the ancestral hall for two days, and then happily married her sister off with great fanfare. Why should their family live happily while she could only rot in the ground?!
Xia Yingnuan covered her forehead and used her own willpower to suppress the chaotic images, but some ghostly characteristics also appeared on her body.
Xia Yingnuan sneered, her scarlet eyes wide. "This musical instrument is interesting. Is it that clown's?" These two hunters are quite courageous to use its props.
The two who escaped death did not dare to stay for long, because the stronger the props, the stronger the side effects usually come with. This is the evil taste of ghosts.
"Tick-tick..." The clock hands moved faster and faster with the rhythm of the music, until the last sentence of the male voice, "Let us celebrate the arrival of circus night together", and the time was actually set to night.
A pair of pale hands were placed on the shoulders of the two fleeing people, and their bodies were immediately frozen unconscious by the Yin Qi.
Thick blood flowed over the human's feet. Xia Yingnuan's red skirt was connected with the blood, and it was difficult to distinguish whether the red skirt was blood.
