I'm being held captive by a monster

Chapter 68: Just kidding, little brat (Please read after the third update!)
If you believe, you won’t see!

The darkness in Lin Xing'an's hand gradually condensed, and he reached out for the hemp rope that was within reach.

But the speed at which the ghost domain spread suddenly accelerated!

The whole villa was melting, and in the blink of an eye it was at Teacher Orange's feet, including her.

But in the face of such tremendous pressure, Teacher Orange still stood there firmly.

"what!!!"

Lin Xing'an gritted his teeth and stretched his arms hard.

Behind him, cold and sticky hands stretched out from the ground, pulling at his body.

The white shadow was also holding Lin Xing'an in his arms, and kept saying something in his ear.

But Lin Xing'an could hear nothing.

He closed his eyes tightly, and the darkness in his hands extended from his fingertips, turning into hands, and finally climbed up the hemp rope!

"boom!"

The engine roared.

The hemp rope suddenly became tight!

Lin Xing'an felt a huge force coming at him instantly, pulling him up from the mud!
He broke free from the countless hands behind him and from the embrace of the white shadow.

It flew out of the window, out of the villa, and out of the entire ghost realm!

All the resistance on his body disappeared, and the instantaneous lightness made Lin Xing'an feel dazed.

He was carried high into the air and then fell heavily onto the soft grass.

It hurts, but... I survived.

Lin Xing'an turned over and lay on the grass, gasping for breath.

There is sunshine above my head and the fragrance of earth at the tip of my nose.

"Little brat, are you okay?"

Teacher Orange walked up to him, bent down, blocked the sunlight in front of him, and stretched out her hand to him.

"Sister Orange, when you came here, didn't you say that if it's past 3:30, you won't wait for me for a second?"

Lin Xing'an covered his eyes with his arms, his chest kept rising and falling, and his voice trembled slightly due to his rapid breathing.

The time on the bracelet is three forty-seven.

"Just teasing you, little brat."

Teacher Orange chuckled.

Lin Xing'an pursed his lips.

"...Sister Orange, I must become stronger."

"I must become stronger..."

"I can't stand it anymore, I really can't stand this..."

Lin Xing'an lay on the ground and muttered.

"so tired……"

He swallowed bitterly.

That kind of despair, that kind of fear, that kind of powerlessness, that kind of pain of being enveloped by death...

so tired……

I don't want this to happen anymore...

Teacher Orange stood silently by, folding her arms, looking at him quietly.

After a long pause, Lin Xing'an took Teacher Juzi's hand and stood up from the ground.

The soreness and tearing of his muscles made him stagger a little.

"Sister Orange, the gluttonous ghost in the villa didn't notice us, right?"

"Can I still come to summer camp the day after tomorrow?"

Lin Xing'an looked back.

The ghost domain has been fully formed with Villa No. 06, the hallucination ghost, as its center.

The dark and gloomy energy rose into the sky, making it look like a hole in the sky.

They were almost completely trapped inside...

"Little brat, you're already like this, and you still want to come tomorrow?"

"But...at least I didn't see anyone just now."

Teacher Orange opened the car door.

"Brother, how are my driving skills?" Wang Xi leaned out from the driver's seat and threw a bottle of charcoal-roasted yogurt to Lin Xing'an.

"Brother Xizi..."

Lin Xing'an was stunned.

"Here, your heartbeat curve on the bracelet."

Teacher Juzi handed the phone connected to the health bracelet to Lin Xing'an.

The above shows that during these two hours, Lin Xing'an's heart rate was as high as 180 and the average heart rate was 130.

"Looking at your heart rate, I guessed you were in trouble, so I called Wang Xi over in advance."

"But when he arrived, the ghost zone had already begun to spread."

The car started slowly, and Teacher Orange leaned comfortably on the soft seat.

"Little brat, this is the common ghost domain of at least five gluttonous ghosts."

"The ghost domain alone encompasses all the characteristics of their abilities."

"But to form this kind of ghost domain, it's not enough to simply release all the gluttonous ghosts at the same time."

"It requires them to concentrate and establish some kind of mental connection without any distractions."

"So don't worry, if you haven't been exposed before, they won't be able to detect you while they're establishing a mental connection."

Teacher Orange applied medicine and bandages without changing her expression.

There were large scrapes on her shoulders and the back of her arms.

After being pulled out of the ghost zone, unlike Lin Xing'an who was lucky enough to fall on the soft grass, Teacher Juzi fell straight on the road.

"That's good……"

Lin Xing'an breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, his main purpose for coming here today was to kill the hallucinating ghost tomorrow.

He was mainly worried that the white shadow in his peripheral vision was a gluttonous ghost that had discovered him.

But if we follow what Teacher Juzi said, that white shadow whose face cannot be seen clearly, and Yu Yu... should be hallucinations created by the ghost realm.

"Little brat, what on earth did you go through in this villa?"

After tying the gauze, Teacher Orange stretched her arm and asked.

"I……"

Lin Xing'an shook his head.

His [wave] has built up, and the feeling of exhaustion in his body is dissipating.

But the mental fatigue made Lin Xing'an's head ache.

In addition, there were too many clues in the villa, and he couldn't think of where to start.

"Let's start with the hallucinating ghost you're targeting. Have you discovered anything about it from the details of its home?"

Teacher Juzi crossed her legs and looked at Lin Xing'an and asked.

Lin Xing'an also drank some yogurt.

“…Yes, there are many.”

Lin Xing'an also tidied up his words.

"Sister Orange, the real owner of this villa is a man named Zhou Ziming. This hallucinating ghost was adopted by Zhou Ziming's family."

"It seized the identity of 'Zhou Ziming' and made Zhou Ziming's father think it was Zhou Ziming."

"At the same time, it did not kill Zhou Ziming, but placed him in a place similar to a life chamber."

"They even turned Zhou Ziming's mother into... a zombie-like monster and locked her in a room."

"In other words, it took a lot of effort to keep Zhou Ziming's family in the villa, and then replaced Zhou Ziming itself."

"What I don't understand is why it disguised itself as a 'human-animal' and went to such great lengths to keep Zhou Ziming and his family 'alive'."

Lin Xing'an frowned and said, "I don't believe it's doing this to repay the favor of adopting me..."

Teacher Orange held her chin and nodded.

"I wonder if the fate of this hallucinating ghost... is possibly connected to this family?"

"For example... it divided its soul or... heart into three parts and stored them in the bodies of this family?"

"Or is there any other connection?"

Seeing that Teacher Juzi didn't say anything, Lin Xing'an tentatively expressed his thoughts.

"It's indeed strange, but first of all, little brat, how do you know that Zhou Ziming is a human?"
