I'm being held captive by a monster

Chapter 62 Mother? Ritual? (Please read!)
"What do you mean? Someone?"

Came the voice of the hallucinatory ghost.

"where?"

She loosened her grip, and the two mourning dogs immediately twitched their noses.

The illusionary ghost also slowly turned its gaze towards the pillar where Lin Xing'an was hiding.

He stared blankly for a few seconds, then stood up and walked slowly away.

dong dong!

dong dong!

Lin Xing'an covered his mouth tightly.

My heart felt like it was about to jump out of my throat!
How come it's so close?!

Although he was injured before his death, he still had at least 50% of his physical strength!

With 50% of his physical strength, even if he was not Wu Shang, when he died together with Xu Can, he could go back to at least half an hour ago!

It’s only been less than ten minutes since I got back!

...Could it be that I just...

Lin Xing'an shook his head.

In the past, he would go back to the game just by closing his eyes and opening them again.

But just now, he seemed to see the scene in front of him playing upside down with the perspective of a soul or God after his death.

It was just like what I saw last time when I was stuck in the river of time with that copy ghost.

But this time the picture was played back extremely quickly!

It was so fast that Lin Xing'an couldn't see clearly at all!

He just took a quick glance, and before he could react, the rollback ended.

Is it because of that look from me?
Lin Xing'an gradually came back to his senses from the trance of the rollback.

In other words... as long as my reflexes can keep up with the twenty-times-speed rewind, I can theoretically control the exact moment I rewind?
Even if I can't keep up, the worst that can happen is I won't even look at it and go back as before.

The upper limit has indeed been raised, but... why did we only discover it now...

In front of Lin Xing'an, the hallucinatory ghost walked towards him step by step.

"Wangcai, Goudan, close your eyes."

When he was only three meters away from Lin Xing'an, the voice of the hallucinating ghost came again.

The two mourning dogs closed their eyes simultaneously.

The surroundings were completely plunged into darkness.

Boom boom boom!
Lin Xing'an was shrouded in gloom, covering his mouth with one hand and pressing his chest with the other.

There's no time to worry about rollbacks.

just now……

How to break?
go!
After thinking for half a second, Lin Xing'an decisively chose to leave!
See if you can sneak into the room on the second floor in the dark.

If he continued to stand still, the same scenario would occur as last time, and the phantom ghost would walk silently in front of him.

Although through the last battle Lin Xingan had already vaguely determined in his heart that its fatal weakness seemed to be related to "Zhou Ziming".

But in the short term, he couldn't think of a more exact connection.

There is no chance of winning if we fight again.

"Although I only went back ten minutes, I lost almost no energy."

"It also refreshed my breath-holding time, which is a blessing."

Lin Xing'an silently comforted himself in his heart.

In the pitch-black darkness, he was shrouded in gloom, just like he was wearing an invisibility cloak.

Relying on his memory of the entire hall's structure, Lin Xing'an quietly walked around from behind the pillar to the stairs leading to the second floor.

Let’s see if there’s a chance to slip away later…

If you open the door of the room on the second floor, light will definitely come in.

I can only hope that the hallucinating ghost will open the curtains later, or go to the bathroom...

Lin Xing'an walked up the stairs step by step silently.

"Hi."

Suddenly, the voice of the hallucinatory ghost came again!
Although the sound still came from behind the pillar where he hid at the beginning, Lin Xing'an still paused.

It didn't even see me last time...

Lin Xing'an suddenly realized.

"Ding dong! Ding dong!"

Suddenly! A series of doorbells rang in the darkness!

The sound of chopping meat in the kitchen disappeared.

"Ding dong!"

The doorbell rang again.

"Ziming! Open the door!"

"……Um."

The hallucinatory ghost walked towards the door.

The two mourning dogs also opened their eyes.

Why is there someone else coming?!
Why wasn’t there last time?

Is it because of the opening of the ghost realm last time?
Lin Xing'an, who was standing in the middle of the stairs, felt his heart skip a beat.

He glanced at the rooms on the second floor and then at the first floor.

"Click..."

The hallucinating ghost grasped the doorknob and pushed it open. Dazzling sunlight once again streamed into the living room from the front door, dispelling all the darkness.

Just before the sunlight shone into the room, Lin Xing'an jumped down the stairs and hid in the shadow under the spiral staircase.

dong dong dong dong!

His heart was pounding!
When I saw the guests coming...

Lin Xing'an's pupils contracted, and he felt a surge of despair...

one two three four……

It's a glutton...

It was the few gluttons Lin Xing'an had seen at the train station during the heavy rain that day...

At this moment, they were carrying large and small bags, standing in front of the door against the light.

The shadow lengthened, covering Lin Xing'an.

……how come?
Today is Thursday, why would these gluttons come here on a Thursday afternoon?!

Don’t they have to go to work?!
Lin Xing'an gritted his teeth.

That is to say...

Even if I could kill this hallucinatory ghost now, I would surely die...

Suffocation, suffocation...

The ups and downs of his mood made Lin Xing'an feel suffocated again.

The clenched fingers have turned white.

How to do?
What should we do now?
The two mourning dogs were still sniffing.

The entire living room was bathed in sunlight. If he left this dark shadow, he would be exposed to the sight of all the ghosts.

Am I going to be suffocated to death here?
The group of gluttons walked into the living room, looked at the coffin in the middle, and said something with serious expressions.

……ceremony?
……Mother?
Lin Xing'an watched their lips opening and closing, but he couldn't hear any specific words.

His ears were buzzing as if they were blocked by a cloud of bees.

The scene in front of my eyes became increasingly blurry, with black dots flickering back and forth.

It's like sinking into the deep sea little by little...

Suffocate, suffocate, suffocate!

Lin Xing'an blinked hard.

No, we have to deal with these two dead dogs first...

Breathe, they can feel my breath...

but if……

In a hurry, Lin Xing'an seemed to have thought of something and shrank back into the shadows.

The darkness covering his body slowly turned into a thin straw.

While he held it in his mouth, he slowly extended it.

Following the shadow of the spiral staircase above his head, walking in the blind spot of vision, he slowly got out of the door.

Then Lin Xing'an couldn't bear it anymore and took a deep breath while pinching his nose.

"Roar!"

At the moment of exhaling, the two mourning dogs suddenly opened their eyes and raised their heads!

Barking wildly, they all ran towards the door!

And for the first time, Lin Xing'an felt that breathing was such a blessing.

The feeling of rushing out of the deep sea made his vision clear again!

"Wangcai! Goudaner?"

The hallucinating ghost was stunned.

"What's wrong? Are you okay?"

A slightly fat glutton asked with a frown.

The other gluttons also turned their heads to look.

"It's okay, I'll go check it out. Don't worry, it won't be delayed."

"You guys go get ready first."

The hallucinating ghost stood up and said.

"Row."

The other gluttons nodded and walked towards the kitchen with their bags.

"good chance……"

Lin Xing'an took a deep breath, and then instantly retracted his gloomy expression.

Hearing the noisy sounds and footsteps in the kitchen, he didn't hesitate any longer.

The dark power in his hands transformed into two giant hands, which silently carried him over the railing and onto the stairs.

"...Only one room?"

When he returned to the second floor, Lin Xing'an was stunned.

Apart from the room in the corner where the zombies were locked up, the only thing left in the vast space was a small room of 20 square meters...

But when he heard the glutton's footsteps coming out of the kitchen, Lin Xing'an didn't have time to worry about it.

He slipped directly into the small room and closed the door gently.

"Huh...alive..."
