Returning from the abyss

Chapter 21 The World in Her Eyes
"According to my speculation, the invisible ghost, the mirror ghost and the possessed ghost are all ghosts that originally existed here. There are internal contradictions between the invisible ghost and the possessed ghost. The mirror ghost is relatively independent, but there should be a certain connection. The reason Even Fang Min, who was possessed on the first day, still translated the method of sending away the invisible ghost. He wanted to use our hands to get rid of the invisible ghost. However, although the ghosts have internal conflicts, they are still united in chasing people. , it’s best not to find loopholes in this area.”

"Why do you say that?" Ling Yan asked.

"The blackout maker can only be a possessed ghost with a physical body, which shows that the ghosts are also sparing no effort to create conditions for everyone to kill each other."

"Yes, on the day you died, these two ghosts teamed up to create a double kill." Lu Ning added.

"How does that help us now?"

Hong Zehao was a little anxious.

"The identity of the ghost." Yin Lian replied, "If it's just a ghost-killing game, the information in this house is too rich. Obviously something happened to the Tang Corporation, but what happened to their people after the accident? Tang Yuanzhen in the end How did he die? Could it be... that he became a ghost, the earth-bound spirit of this villa?"

"Three ghosts, which one do you think is Tang Yuanzhen?" Ling Yan asked.

"Probably not."

This time it was Lu Ning who answered.

"It seems that you have also found some information. In fact, among the three ghosts, the invisible ghost has a very fixed walking range, just patrolling the corridors all the time. What if this is her fixed route? Who here gave this mission?"

A name flashed across Lu Ning's mind in an instant.

"Alin?"

The number of times this name appeared in Tang Yuanzhen's diary is quite a lot. Tang Yuanzhen would be responsible for many things. Originally, Lu Ning thought that this might be a loyal old servant in the villa. Now thinking about it... Maybe Tang Yuanzhen controls A ghost underneath!

"Alin, or any possible ghost servant. If this identity is determined, then there will be traces of why the possessed ghost has enmity with it."

"It's actually not too difficult. We don't know many people who have appeared in the history of the Tang family. Joseph, Tang Yuanzhen, and Tang Yuexin, these three are almost the main ones." Ling Yan said.

Lu Ning also took the opportunity to briefly tell Yin Lian about the discovery of the diary in the basement.

Yin Lian glanced at Lu Ning's expression slightly, and said: "I seem to know where the problem is... But this has nothing to do with our current crisis. I said these to let you know that the collection in your hand may be targeted. The props are specifically aimed at a certain ghost."

"The dagger is aimed at the substitute ghost." Lu Ning said, "Then, sister Yin Lian, can you deduce who the substitute ghost is now?"

"Tell me about the death list and today's situation."

Lu Ning and Ling Yan are relatively isolated from the crowd, and here is Hong Zehao's introduction.

"Since the morning, how many of you have been together until you were blocked by the black mist?" Yin Lian confirmed to Hong Zehao, thought for a while, and said, "Among those who didn't come down from the upstairs, see if there is any ghost ghost If there are any people who were killed, the people who are still alive upstairs are the most suspected, if not, the people downstairs are the most suspected."

"what?"

"On the other hand, if my speculation is correct, two people will die in the upstairs room. We are now safe in the past."

"An... safe?"

"The invisible ghost has already killed someone; the black mist chased the person and ran away, either it had already started or it was still chasing; the apprentice of Uncle Zhang in the corridor must have died; plus if there were really two people upstairs We are dead, before Yang Na's ghost is successfully transformed, we still have a period of safety."

Immediately, Yin Lian got out of bed, moved her hands and feet a little, and walked towards the door.Lu Ning's three brains were still following the train of thought, and subconsciously followed Yin Lian's pace.

"That...Yin Lian, why are you trying so hard to help us?" Hong Zehao opened his mouth, but still asked this question.

"My original idea was to let everyone escape as much as possible, but because of me, this game that should be easy difficulty has been played into hell level, so I have to do something." Yin Lian said With some unclear words, he rushed to the second floor and started knocking on doors from room to room.

Soon, Gongsun You came out of the room trembling. The old man had been scared for the past few days and dared not walk around. Now he suddenly saw Yin Lian and almost had a heart attack. Lu Ning and Ling Yan supported him After explaining for a long time, it took me a while to slow down.

In the other room, the woman who was in the same group as the white-collar workers at first was lying on the bed with a strange smile on her face, and she was still posing in a hugging position. Her body was stiff, apparently she had been dead for a while.In the end, as Yin Lian said, in a single room, the body of another band youth who was killed by the mirror ghost cutting his throat was found.

"Why two!" Hong Zehao looked at the young man's body, his eyes full of disbelief.It's not that he doesn't accept someone being killed, but everything, as Yin Lian said, makes people feel chills behind.

"The mirror ghost hardly has the conditions to kill in a power outage. This condition can only be created by other ghosts. The most convenient one is of course the substitute ghost." Yin Lian pulled a sheet to cover the young man's body, walked towards outside the door.

"We didn't see a doctor after this round. Of course, Mr. Gongsun may be a substitute ghost. I have no way of judging."

Gongsun You, who was following behind the crowd, turned pale: "I... I might be a substitute ghost?"

"I just present all possibilities."

At this moment, Yin Lian seemed to know that time was getting more and more urgent, and she no longer cared about other people's emotions, and kept talking while walking:
"So in addition to guarding against the double ghost, you also have to pay attention to preventing the double ghost from hiding in the dark and creating favorable conditions for the mirror ghost. Besides... eh?"

At this time, a group of people happened to pass by the stairs leading to the hall, and happened to see the couple supporting each other, walking back from the outside covered in rain.

"Hello! Are you all right?" Hong Zehao immediately shouted.

The couple looked up, because it was too dark to see clearly, but they recognized Hong Zehao's voice and hurriedly answered: "Uncle Hong! Brother Yong is dead!"

"Wei Boyong is dead?" Hong Zehao was startled, and Yin Lian beside him sighed.

"To save us!" the man cried, "We burned the hut and the corpse of the ghost, but I don't know if it will work!"

"Huh? Wait... Did Yang Na die after lunch?" Yin Lian suddenly turned her head and asked the people around her.

"Yes, we weren't in the room at that time...too bad!" Lu Ning also responded to a question.

This was originally an obvious thing, but amidst the ghosts chasing and killing and all kinds of fuss, no one actually thought about it carefully.

"...Three hours have been compensated." Yin Lian immediately raised her voice, "Everyone, pay attention to your surroundings! Yang Na has probably turned into a ghost!"

Everyone was taken aback, and their spirits tensed up again.But the ghost didn't appear, and Yin Lian led the people downstairs cautiously, and the protective cover was still there. After walking in, it made people feel a lot more at ease.

"Yin Lian?" the woman in the couple asked timidly.

"I'm temporarily resurrected, not a ghost, and you don't have to be afraid if I can come in." Yin Lian explained casually, her eyes still looking around.

"What should we do next?" Hong Zehao had become extremely trusting of Yin Lian in this short period of time.

"Tomorrow is the most dangerous day... There is probably no need for the doctor to hide, because the number of ghosts will be equal to the number of people, and every ghost will come out to hunt and kill in a grandiose manner, but this is also our chance. Lu Ning The dagger in our hands, if we can kill the double ghost before it commits a crime, there will be one more survivor, and besides, the collection in our hands should also come in handy."

When Yin Lian was about to explain the distribution of the collection, Zhang Fuyuan led his disciples out of the corridor. Their faces were full of exhaustion. Although they were not chased by ghosts, they were hit hardest today.

"Old Zhang, are you okay?"

"No...the ghost didn't come after us, we all ran out for a while, and we didn't see a ghost." Zhang Fuyuan sighed, and pulled the apprentice beside him, and the two walked towards the protective shield.

And the accident is only a moment.

In the dense darkness of the corridor, a mud-like black shadow suddenly rushed out, piercing from Zhang Fuyuan's ribs from bottom to top, piercing out from his chest, and bringing out a column of blood.

The incident happened so quickly that no one reacted to it. Zhang Fuyuan even turned his head to look at his apprentice in some puzzlement.

Afterwards, his body fell heavily on the ground, completely losing his vitality.

Safe.

After the ghosts showed their killing efficiency, no one could have a sense of joy for half a day of safety.On the last day, the nine ghosts and the nine people, this is almost an unsolvable deadlock.

"The only remaining flaw is the substitute ghost." Yin Lian became the only person who spoke at the moment, "Everyone cooperates to help Lu Ning kill the substitute ghost, so that at least one person can survive..." She hesitated slightly at this point After a while, she got up and pulled Lu Ning, and walked upstairs.

No one asked them where they were going, although no one believed Yin Lian anymore, but they also knew that no matter how capable Yin Lian was, she couldn't save all the staff from this situation.

Who is the one who will die?If only one person can live, who is it?

There was suspicion in everyone's eyes.

On the other side, Yin Lian led Lu Ning to the balcony on the second floor.

"Sister Yin Lian, you pulled me over because..." Lu Ning leaned against the door, her arms wrapped around her chest subconsciously.Seeing her like this, Yin Lian didn't take it seriously, walked into the rain, grabbed the railing and looked at the rain scene outside.

"Let me take another look at the outside world, even though it may be fake."

"……fake?"

"As long as you live, you can see for me whether my judgment is correct or not." Yin Lian turned her head, "It's just that I don't want you to survive by depriving innocent people of their lives. become an irreparable mistake."

Lu Ning's heart suddenly tightened.
