Chapter 117 Inheritance (23)

Lu Jinzhao bent down to pick up the wooden box from the ground, and without a second's hesitation, immediately turned around and ran wildly toward the gate of the old house!
She knew in her heart that the ghost was definitely faster than her, and if it weren't for the bell and the wooden box, the ghost could have arrived in front of her in an instant.

However, because she picked up the wooden box from the ground, the continuous supply of blood stopped, and her resistance to the ghost weakened drastically. In just a moment, Lu Jinzhao felt the terrifying aura behind her suddenly getting much closer to her!

It's already here, within reach.

Lu Jinzhao didn't dare to delay and quickly slashed his palm with his knife. As the wooden box greedily devoured the contents, Lu Jinzhao felt the hand behind him that was about to grab him pause for a moment.

This gave her the opportunity to escape.

"In just one minute, I can run to the train door."

The premise is that no unexpected events can occur.

Her blood was rapidly draining away, yet the chilling aura behind her remained ever-present, while the shadow puppet she held struggled incessantly, trying to break free from Lu Jinzhao's control.

It had even started gnawing at her fingers.

Perhaps because she wasn't using her master's skin, this shadow puppet didn't bite off half of her finger like the one in Fu Xuesheng's hand. Instead, it was more like a carnivore with bad teeth, tearing her finger to shreds.

But because of the bell, Lu Jinzhao's body was almost like a corpse, and she could hardly feel "pain," so she didn't care about the shadow puppet's movements at this moment.

As she ran down the corridor, she saw Huo Ye's door open.

He must have heard the train arrive at the station. When he opened the door, he first saw Lu Jinzhao running wildly towards the door, and then he noticed the shadow puppet in her hand that seemed to come alive.

He looked behind Lu Jinzhao and, sure enough, saw the ghost that was urging him to die.

"how is this possible?"

How could it be that she completed the mission?

His destiny told him that this mission was extremely difficult. Even for him, going to complete the mission tonight would only lead to his death. The fact that someone could complete the mission was already beyond his expectations, not to mention that the one who completed the mission was a newbie who had just entered a high-level dungeon.
But she completed her mission without dying?
"Could it be that this instance doesn't have only one surviving slot?"

Suspicion flickered in Huo Ye's eyes, but in the next instant, he saw Lu Jinzhao, who had been running in the yard, suddenly approach him, almost leaping onto the corridor like a hurdle, and then rushing forward, almost reaching his door!
Instantly, Huo Ye's expression changed drastically.

He knew what Lu Jinzhao was going to do.

Shifting the blame eastward—this newcomer actually wants to use him as a scapegoat?!
Damn it, isn't she afraid of offending me?

Huo Ye didn't have time to think and turned to run, but in the next instant, he felt something rushing towards him!

Yes. Lu Jinzhao threw the shadow puppet in his hand, aiming it directly at Huo Ye's back.

"You like eating people? Then I'll give you something even better. The flesh of a living person is better than me, a half-dead man, isn't it?"

The shadow puppet carrying the bone club landed swiftly on Huo Ye, and the next second, instead of falling to the ground, it actually grabbed Huo Ye's back.

The moment Huo Ye was caught by the shadow puppet, he felt his head suddenly sink, and his limbs felt a pain as if they were being pierced by invisible wires.

Even more fatally, he stumbled.

In those few seconds of delay, Lu Jinzhao had already run up to him.

Huo Ye's expression had turned ferocious. It wasn't that he couldn't resolve the situation in front of him, but he would have to pay a certain price. Originally, he didn't have to pay this price!
This newcomer
He saw Lu Jinzhao's expression as she passed by him. He thought that her face would show some emotion, such as schadenfreude at successfully "framing" him, or unease at offending him, or at the very least, the terror of being chased by a ghost. But he never expected that the newcomer's face would be completely expressionless at this moment.

Huo Ye immediately realized that she felt absolutely no emotion about throwing the ghost at him and dragging him down with her! Was this girl even human?!
Huo Ye didn't have time to think too much and immediately followed Lu Jinzhao's steps, running towards the door.

At this moment, not only the shadow puppet on his back belonging to Lu Jinzhao, but also his own unfinished shadow puppet, which had become extremely frenzied, relentlessly attacking him.

He had to use the supernatural items he possessed to avoid dying at the hands of these two shadow puppet ghosts.

Fortunately, the "master's" attack was not on him, but was always focused on Lu Jinzhao.

While enduring the gnaws of the shadow puppets and constantly resisting the supernatural invasion, Huo Ye felt as if the flesh and blood on his back were about to be completely devoured by Lu Jinzhao's shadow puppets, but he still managed a somewhat twisted smile.

"Haha, this mission isn't so easy to complete, is it? Trying to trick me? Don't you even know if you can survive!"

Indeed, Lu Jinzhao is still not feeling well at this moment.

Simply because she had bled out.

In just over ten seconds, the wooden box had drained all the blood from her body.

But thanks to the "bell," she was able to "live" despite losing so much blood.

She suddenly realized that this side effect might not actually be a side effect.

Without the train, she would surely have become a corpse due to the side effects, but with the train, the side effects of the bell have actually become a benefit.

However, she could also feel the changes taking place in her body.

Not to mention the lividity on her body, even her brain was gradually losing its function.

She could feel herself slowly becoming unable to think.

The brain is dying due to lack of oxygen and blood.

My hearing became blurry, and even my vision seemed to be severely nearsighted.

In another half minute, she might not even be able to think anymore.

That would be too dangerous.

She wasn't sure if she would stop when her brain also died.

And the wooden box, as she bled out, was gradually losing its function.

If Lu Jinzhao loses consciousness, the wooden box might just swallow her up completely, just like what she witnessed back then.

Therefore, she must remain conscious.

The bell must be removed before it reaches its limit, and what else can she contribute besides the wooden box?
Want to make a deal with me?
