Returning from the abyss

Chapter 23 The Seven Days End
As early as when she killed the white-collar workers, Lu Ning was basically convinced of the purpose of Joseph's pen.

In Yin Lian's last conversation, she also helped Lu Ning determine the answer.

"Joseph's pen, the person who carries this is hunted down by the mirror ghost, and will only be hunted down by the mirror ghost."

Lu Ning explained the purpose of this collection.

"Only being chased and killed by the mirror ghost?"

Yu Zhisong immediately understood, and his eyes lit up immediately. The current conditions are not conducive to the mirror ghost killing people. As long as the person carrying this pen is careful, it will be a gold medal for avoiding death!

"Is it okay to take this thing out? We don't have any objections if you bring it yourself." Ling Yan said.

"Of course I won't hand this over to others directly. I'm just telling you the purpose. Tomorrow, each of us may encounter a situation where we need to replace the collection in our hands. This is just in case."

Lu Ning threw Wuzhi's appearance to the couple, put away the rest, and then stood up.

"In the last period of time, let's familiarize ourselves with the escape route of the main house, and also take you to see the location of the laboratory. After everything is prepared, we will have an early rest, and we will have to hold on for 24 hours tomorrow."

At this time of the remaining nine people, everyone finally reached an agreement.

Amidst various complex emotions such as anxiety, fear, excitement, and anger, the timing of the sixth day is coming to an end.

Lu Ning stood at the lobby on the first floor and at the stairway on the second floor. There was no one around her now. Everyone had already separated according to the pre-arranged positions. Lu Ning stood here to wait.

A figure appeared at the door of the hall.

It's a doctor. Although it is still raining heavily outside, there is no water stain on his body.At this moment, his face was no longer low-key and humble, but with a wicked smile on his face, staring at Lu Ning upstairs.

On the last day, ghosts no longer needed to hide from their tracks.

The stand-in ghost raised his hand, stroked his neck lightly with his thumb, and then let out a malicious laugh.Lu Ning just showed a sneer at this, and pulled out the sacrificial dagger from his waist.

"Don't pretend, you can communicate."

Ever since she killed the upstart, she knew that these ghosts could talk to people.It's just that she doesn't think she can persuade the ghost to let anyone go, and at the same time, she doesn't believe any nonsense. This road has long been abandoned.

Today, however, it is a good choice to stand directly on the opposite side and mock each other.

Before the time is up, the ghost can't kill him, and he doesn't have the ability to chase the other party at such a distance and give him a knife. What else can he do except fight?
Anyway, Lu Ning is almost suffocating these days.

"Then, my dear lady, which one of us are you going to choose to be your sender?"

The stand-in ghost really spoke.

"You guys don't know, don't you? Only two of your companions will be born today. It's not certain whether I will die or not."

The stand-in ghost raised his index finger, and sighed: "It's the time now, and you are still so naive, young lady. Have you forgotten the principle of three-hour corrections so quickly?"

Lu Ning was taken aback.

"Each of our companions will wake up three hours earlier. This is used to compensate for your initial three-hour safety period. You obviously discovered this, but didn't pay attention at all?"

Now the stand-in ghost's smile has been replaced with a polite and gentlemanly style, but the words he speaks make people feel like falling into an ice cave.

——Yin Lian was killed by being stuck in the timeline that just passed the next day. If the principle of compensation is fully applicable, Yin Lian will wake up as the last ghost before the next dawn!
"No! I resurrected her with the blood of the divine bird, time shouldn't be..."

"Do you still think there will be a reset? Do you believe this statement yourself?"

After all, the substitute ghost is a monster that mixed the memories of an unknown number of people and was born in life, and it easily caught Lu Ning's psychological weakness.

"Turning into a ghost will not eliminate wisdom and experience, but it will make people lose their feelings and hearts forever. What you get in exchange for this price is the powerful power that only ghosts can have." The stand-in ghost opened his arms, "by the way Let me tell you, the dagger in your hand is indeed an item used to seal me, but pay attention to the word, 'seal'... From ancient times to the present, seals are only used to break, a mere dagger, I can't use it too much It will take a long time to leave.”

"So what do you want to say? Are we hopeless?" Lu Ning's face darkened.

"Where, the souls that have struggled are more likely to become high-quality companions. Your performance satisfies us, so you may exist forever."

What information seemed to be revealed in this sentence, Lu Ning's thoughts turned, and she immediately grasped the key point: "Eternity? You want to say..."

"Although we have an absolute advantage, it's good to save some effort. Miss, you may not know that becoming a ghost does not mean the end, and we will even become companions. Ghosts exist forever, although you don't know when the time comes Wouldn’t it be nice to have some kind of kinship with your friends again, but you’re all together again?”

The stand-in ghost's voice gradually became a little deeper, as if it contained endless temptation.

"It's just another way to live. Instead of dying in terror, it's better to get eternal life on our side. Isn't this what people have been pursuing? Powerful, eternal, don't you desire these?"

"I don't desire."

Lu Ning interrupted the substitute ghost's words of persuasion.

"I just said that a struggling soul will become a high-quality companion, and now you are trying to persuade me to give up resistance. I really can't believe you, Mr. Mensar."

Being told, the stand-in ghost was not upset, and still smiled: "Your mind is really clear, which is admirable. I look forward to your life after you become our companion."

"Speak too early and be careful not to take it back."

The substitute ghost laughed again, waved his hand, turned around and walked out the door.

"Mr. Mensar." Lu Ning suddenly stopped it.

"Do you regret it?"

The stand-in ghost didn't look back, obviously knowing that this was impossible.

"Whether you can come back or not, I will definitely send you to hell first."

Lu Ning pinned the dagger back to her waist, and the figure of the stand-in ghost slowly disappeared amidst the fading laughter.

"Killing people is not terrible, but these guys are starting to kill their hearts now..."

Before the start of the war, Lu Ning had already noticed that the last day was not easy.

【Respect:
Dear travelers, the [-]-day trip to the Ghost Villa has come to an end. I hope this unforgettable memory will be etched in your memory forever.Tomorrow morning at [-]:[-], the return carriage will arrive at the gate of the main house of the villa, and it will be time for this journey to come to an end. I hope you will enjoy yourself on the last day.

Additional note about ghosts:
[-]. Ghosts cannot be killed, they can only be sealed or exiled. Destroying the ghost's body can cause the ghost to suffer certain injuries and hinder its ability to move, and it will also arouse the hatred of the ghost.In addition, for some special situations, ghosts will also have greater hatred for some people.Including: using the collection; destroying the ghost's killing operation; escaping the ghost's pursuit.The following three collections will additionally cause the ghost's hatred to increase: use the Bagua wooden sword to stab the ghost; use the appearance of nothing to be spotted by the ghost at close range; use the memory of pain to hinder the ghost's actions.

This reminder of the rules is over, I wish you a pleasant journey! 】

The last message was received, and everyone read the text message within 1 minute. The couple squatted in a room on the second floor, and ran out in a hurry after reading the text message.

"Why did you come out?" Lu Ning kept walking outside, and immediately asked when she saw the expressions of the two.

"These things... can't be used indiscriminately!"

The lover was a little flustered, Lu Ning had already read the message, stuffed the phone into his pocket, and immediately started walking to the balcony as planned.

"It's the last day, don't you just wait to be killed? You don't need to think about this side effect at all. Do what you need to do, and we will leave alive."

The black mist invaded from the roof, and soon condensed into a solid body on the third floor.It went straight to the stairs, but found a figure at the other end of the third floor.

Holding the wooden sword, Hong Zehao put on a fighting posture, and stared at the black mist with a serious face.However, the ghost didn't show any fear, let out a muddy roar, and slowly floated towards Hong Zehao.

With this as a signal, the battle began.

Ling Yan jumped out of the window, and behind her, dense hair-like black threads protruded from the shadows, and launched a crazy attack with an aura that wanted to chop people into pieces.After probing Ling Yan once or twice, he discovered that the ghost's mobility is actually very bad. The attack lurking in the shadows is obviously superior to ambushes. Once it starts such a crazy attack, it will expose its own direction.

Among all the people, Ling Yan, the only one who stabbed the ghost with the eight-diagram wooden sword, was the ghost's first hatred target, and she didn't waste this role, and she was the first to pull out the most difficult one among the six ghosts main house.

"Everyone, it's up to you!"

Ling Yan yelled, and ran outside with a black shadow like a lump of mud.

In the kitchen, Uncle Xing was leaning on a simple chair, holding a shotgun and gently wiping the butt and barrel of the gun.His expression was unusually focused, and the few wrinkles on his face were gathered because of his slightly squinted eyes, making him look even older.

Suddenly, the wall behind Uncle Xing began to squirm slightly, and a silhouette that could still be seen as a human figure began to appear on the wall, and two sharp claws protruded from the wall, approaching quietly.

--boom!

The shotgun roared, and the flames illuminated the room for a moment, and the ghost that drilled out of the wall was shot back into the wall, making a howling sound like metal scraping.

"Aka."

Uncle Xing mumbled, but did not utter any complete sentences in his hoarse throat, but when he raised his head, his eyes seemed to reflect the light of flames.

That is the battlefield.
