Returning from the abyss

Chapter 255 Countermeasures
After everyone opened the front door with vigilance, they found that it was Zhu You who was out of breath knocking on the door.

"Zhu You? Where did you go just now!" Qiu Yiyun breathed a sigh of relief, "We wanted to find you after we found out that you were missing, but a lot of things happened..."

"Wait a minute!" Zhu You hurriedly raised his hand to stop several people who wanted to speak, "I followed a figure running over just now! Did you see that? That guy looks like a bat, and the way he moves is like gliding , I'm not sure if it's friend or foe."

"Bat? You didn't make up some excuse to pretend to be missing, did you?" Xia Xinhe said sarcastically, "Knowing that the matter was going to be exposed, you just found a lame excuse? It's useless!"

"What excuse? What was exposed? I found the trace of an unknown creature, and I went after it to see what's going on?"

"Haha, catch up? Under what circumstances do you dare to catch up? Who gave you the courage? You are not afraid of death—"

Before she finished speaking, Zhu You swung the shotgun from her shoulder in an arc and held it in her hand instantly. Flames burst out from the muzzle of the gun, and almost no one reacted before she shot.

The bullet passed through the crowd, and only after everything had passed did someone break out in a cold sweat.

Xia Xinhe touched his ear tremblingly. There was an earring hanging there, but now the ornaments on the earring have been precisely smashed into pieces.

"Rapid fire at [-] seconds. Unless you have a specialized neural response, even supernatural creatures can't respond to this accuracy." Karl nodded slightly, "I'm sure I'm not mistaken, you are an outstanding shooter."

"I apologize if I scare you, but I won't tolerate this guy questioning my strength." Zhu You nodded slightly to Carl, "I dare to catch up with my self-confidence, and I don't have one turn. People hiding in the team are talking nonsense."

"Anyway, you did see a bat-like guy flying over, right? Why didn't you shoot?" Lu Ning asked.

"I don't shoot casually until I'm sure whether it's an enemy or a friend, and that bat didn't show any hostility towards me." Zhu You slung the gun back to his shoulder, "It's you, why did I just leave for a while, and you just left like this? Suspicious?"

"Another person is missing, and one death has been confirmed." Carl greeted and let Zhu You in. "We are basically sure that this is a confrontation scene, and the devil is among us tourists."

"what?"

I gave Zhu You a general account of what happened, and then everyone returned to the room. It was already close to ten o'clock, which meant that they had to stay at least eight hours until close to six o'clock in the morning, and they had to be on guard against possible attacks at any time. Devil, many people are a little depressed.

Lu Ning, Fujii Xueyin, Inawara Ayano, and Zhu You were in the same room.This grouping was the final plan finalized by Carl and several others. Except for some special circumstances, the grouping was completely disrupted. If something went wrong, the number of suspects of the devil could be reduced to a minimum.

This room was the original secondary bedroom, in the corridor of the dining room.Lu Ning put the oil lamp on the desk in the room, took out Lima's research notes and looked at it. Zhu You asked curiously, but Lu Ning didn't intend to show her.

"I can only tell you that this is something that I need to study for my personal secret mission. I will not share this with others. In addition, concentrating on it will keep me from getting sleepy."

"Aren't you going to sleep?" Zhu You yawned, "I'm very tired after chasing you for so long."

"Then... I wish my sister to sleep first?" Inahara made the bed, "I think it would be safer for most people to be awake..."

"Unless a room is full of demons except you." Lu Ning frightened her.

"It shouldn't be that bad. We have eighteen people now. Even if there are six demons, the probability of getting three in a room is quite low..."

"About 20.00% four." Fujii Yukine sat against the wall, her hands folded around her knees, and her own oil lamp was placed in front of her toes, "It's actually not low."

"what?"

"It's nothing, I just calculated it according to the simplest probability. But the devil will also consider that if he acts randomly, the suspiciousness will be greatly increased, and I think there must be a devil among the three missing people, so the probability of something happening is also very high." Not that high."

"Miss Fujii, don't scare me..." Ayano Inawara breathed a sigh of relief, "Your face is really scary."

Lu Ning is willing to agree with this sentence.

"Don't worry, the devil should have tested it tonight. Since fourteen days have been given, it means that the devil doesn't have the ability to kill us all overnight."

"In that case, I'll go to bed first. If any of you are really sleepy, you can call me up to take over." Zhu You lay down on the bed in the room, muttered, and soon fell asleep.

And Lu Ning, who was studying the notes here, took out the small bottle of golden mead, tasted it, and began to interpret Lima's research notes with the knowledge that came with the scene.

The night is getting darker.

Lu Ning rubbed her eyes, stretched her sore back, and turned her head to glance at the room.

Zhu You was sleeping soundly, and Inawara's head on the floor slowly lowered and then suddenly raised, looking a little drowsy.Fujii Xueyin was still in good spirits, with her eyes fixed on the door, her back leaning against the wall, as if she could get up at any time.

So she flicked her wrist at Fujii Xueyin, but all she got was a shake of her head.

Few people here carry watches.

The cold wind in the middle of the night did not stop, and the room across the window was also pitch black.Lu Ning moved around a little, and suddenly heard the slight sound of footsteps coming from the corridor outside.

Fujii obviously heard it too, stretched out his hands to support the ground and squatted up, listening attentively, the two made a "two" gesture at the same time.

Lu Ning opened the door slightly.The passers-by outside did not turn on the lights, but tiptoed along the corridor towards the door. Their movements were extremely careful. If Lu Ning's hearing had not been strengthened, they would not have even noticed it.

Since he acts like this, the possibility of being a demon is greatly reduced.

"Where are you two going?"

Carl's lazy voice came from the direction of the living room, and then the corridor was lit up, illuminating Xia Xinhe and Duan Qing who were moving in the dark.

"It's three o'clock, right...Professor Shen." Carl leaned against the door, turned his head to ask Shen's almanac in the room, and then turned his head back, "Are you two finally planning to escape?"

"What's wrong?" Xia Xinhe said bravely, "I've lived here for eight hours, why should I take the same risk as those careless people?"

"Are you planning to not share the risk after enjoying the benefits of being in a group?" Carl laughed, "Are you really selfish or do you think you should do this?"

"Does it matter? Anyway, I'm leaving now!" Xia Xinhe avoided the question, "Don't tell me you still want to force me to stay? Then you are probably a demon!"

Karl waved his hand directly. At this time, the business in the corridor had woken up everyone. Some people were angry when they heard Xia Xinhe's plan, while others thought he was just such a person, but they still looked at Karl.

"You can leave if you want. Don't blame me for not reminding you... There are more than one plans for tonight."

Xia Xinhe didn't expect him to let her go so easily, she froze for a moment, but didn't realize the meaning of the next sentence.

At this time, Fujii Xueyin and Lu Ning also walked out of the room.

"Taking such a big risk just for a plan to escape at three o'clock is a little too big. There are several preparatory plans behind this plan." Fujii Xueyin said.

"Preparation plan?" Xia Xinhe glanced at the others blankly, and found that most of them had the same look.

"Ah, I didn't say it clearly." Lu Ning also added, "After all, it's best not to say this kind of thing. If you understand it, you can understand it. It doesn't matter if you don't understand it. We are paying attention."

Carl raised the corner of his mouth: "How? Would you like to hear what else we have verified?"

"Playing tricks, I want to hear what else you guys have prepared in secret!" Although Xia Xinhe's tone was still firm, what he said was completely different.

"Let's start with the most important thing." Shen Lishu helped Ye Chuqing out of the house, his voice was a little hoarse, "What is the specific scope of the so-called living in a lakeside cottage for eight consecutive hours?"

Ye Chuqing opened the notebook in his hand.

"At least confirm the first point, including the front yard and back yard, all the parts that are not indoors should not be counted." Shen Lishu cleared his throat, "You didn't bring your own mission to check the props, did you? Now I The task is still unfinished, and the old man never left the house except for a short while when the thick fog occurred midway, he left the restaurant and entered the front yard."

Xia Xinhe's expression was as if struck by lightning.

"In other words, you, who acted almost the same way as Professor Shen, did not complete the task. If you walk out of the gate now, you will give up tonight." Carl raised his hand and nodded Xia Xinhe, "Besides, I also entrusted Lichuan , Sugiyama and my old friend went to verify another fact, they did not directly go to the assigned guest room, but went to the hot spring first.”

"Staggered time difference, that special room needs to be verified to see if it is also approved inside the lakeside hut." Lu Ning said.

"The third thing that needs to be verified is the internal state." Fujii Xueyin continued, "For example, people like you, and people whose secret missions are harmful to the team. In short, using this grouping can quickly screen personnel. If they don't move , that buys us time."

"Mr. Xia, after listening to this, if you are still planning to leave, you can just listen." After Carl finished speaking, he clapped his hands, "Everyone, I'm sorry, everyone may have to stay until about six o'clock tonight. It is necessary to clarify the judgment mode of the lakeside hut. And this plan may not go so smoothly, after all, the devil will..."

slap.

Before Carl could finish speaking, there was a strange sound from the ceiling above people's heads.

That's from outside.

It was as if something sticky was constantly beating on the roof. It might be called footsteps, but it didn't seem human at all.

Everyone has heard it, so it can't be a mistake.Carl also restrained his smile, took out his pistol and pointed it in the direction of the voice above his head.

"Everyone checks the people in the same room as you. Is there anyone missing——Xia Xinhe, where are Qiu Yiyun and Yiluo who are in the same room as you?" Fujii Xueyin asked coldly.

"How do I know? I didn't wake up those two people!" Xia Xinhe gritted his teeth, leaned against the wall, and stared at the ceiling with Duan Qing.

The footsteps didn't stop, but walked towards Lu Ning.The sticky feeling became stronger, and there was even the sound of some liquid hitting the roof besides the sound of footsteps.

"Is it a demon?" Inahara and Zhu You were in the room, but they also roughly understood what happened outside.

"Not sure, check the inside of the study immediately..."

"We are here." Yiluo walked out of the study with the help of Qiu Yiyun who was trembling, "Now we need the people from the hot spring. What's the sound on the roof?"

"We can't go out to confirm, as long as we leave this house, the time will be reset." Carl said loudly, "Be alert! Unless we have some way not to go out and check the roof ourselves!"

After he shouted these words, a dim light suddenly lit up outside the room.

A pair of translucent blue giant wolves appeared outside the house. Their shape was not very stable, but the existence of this alone was a bit surprising.

Inahara stood in front of the window, with two paper figurines that looked very simple between the middle finger, index finger and ring finger of his right hand, but the same blue light glowing on the paper figurines made them no longer ordinary.

"Star-style Greedy Wolf, please, go and check what is on the roof."

Following her voice, two ghost wolves rushed to the roof, and then there was a sound like something hitting a puddle on the roof.

"It's a dark guy! Like a kappa! I caught him—no!" Ayano Inawara screamed suddenly, the paper figurine in her hand suddenly turned into a piece of paper, and the light disappeared.

At this moment, people have almost all rushed to the door of the room, and at the same time, they saw a large piece of "hair" like algae slowly stretching out from the top of the window.

"It's a witch! This time it's a witch!" Pan Haishu yelled excitedly. Carl rushed into the room first and pulled Inahara away from the window, while Zhu You immediately pointed his gun at the top of the window, ready to shoot at any time.

But the other party didn't show up.

Only the hair began to extend downward, and soon it covered the outside of the window like a curtain, and the wooden window frame made a light rattling sound, which made the scalp numb to those who listened.Everyone fled back to the corridor, only daring to watch by the door.

Finally, the window frame also "grows" hair.

The obviously durable wood shattered into pieces as if corroded, and the glass lost its support and fell to the floor, making several crisp sounds.Those hairs began to surge into the room, and at the same time, the sound of "slap" and "slap" sounded from the top of the head again.

Horror never goes far.
