Chapter 177 The House of Evil Spirits (21)

Run, Chaochao!

[If I ran fast enough, maybe I could have survived a few minutes longer?]

Sheepskin's words were filled with undisguised malice; it was prepared to stand by and watch the fire from the sidelines, and then receive the carcass of Lu Jinzhao.

If Lu insists on not trading with it today, then he might as well die.

Anyway, it already has one-third of the soul, so it can take over the body after Lu Jinzhao dies.

It's just that not getting all the souls will cause some trouble later.

It's a pity, but Lu Jinzhao is dead.

Lu Jinzhao could more or less guess what Yangpi was thinking at this moment, but she really didn't have time to care about Yangpi right now. Several corpses had already emerged from the sea of ​​blood on the ground. They seemed to have no consciousness, but after crawling out of the ground, they looked in Lu Jinzhao's direction as soon as possible, and then walked towards her.

Lu Jinzhao had no confidence that she could survive so many corpses head-on. Moreover, based on the scenes she had seen before, where the blood had seeped into the corpses, she guessed that the key was probably not the corpses themselves, but the endless blood.

Left with no other choice, she had to reopen the door to room 302, which she had just closed, and rush into another room, 302.

Originally, she had intended to throw the three corpses from room 302, where she was originally, into this room, but when she opened it again, there were only three corpses left in the room.

This means that when she opened 302 again, the space switched randomly again.

Three corpses were soaking in blood. When Lu Jinzhao closed the door to block the ghosts chasing after him, he had no choice but to face the three corpses that had stood up.

No matter which 302 she randomly switches to, there will always be at least three corpses waiting for her in the room, and if she stays too long, the corpses will keep crawling out of the sea of ​​blood.

"What if you keep switching rooms?"

She tried to open the door again before the three corpses reached her and before any other corpses crawled out of the sea of ​​blood, but the scene that appeared after the door opened made Lu Jinzhao's pupils shrink sharply.

A corpse was standing in front of her!
It was the corpse hidden in the sofa, its body riddled with arms that didn't belong to it.

It's stuck to the back of the door, waiting for someone to open it.

Almost the instant it raised its hand, Lu Jinzhao slammed the door shut!
With a bang, the corpse that had given her a quick, face-to-face kill disappeared, but a hand pressed against her from behind.

The corpse in this room had already moved behind her.

The next second, the pocket watch was opened, the hand behind him suddenly let go, and Lu Jinzhao opened the door again and escaped into another room, 302.

This room, 302, couldn't let her escape for long. But if she kept opening the door, she wasn't sure if there would be another close-up attack.

She realized it was pointless.

In this state, 302's only purpose is to escape; it's meaningless.

She can't run away, and she can't escape.

What should I do?
The blood rain continued to fall, large drops of water landing on Lu Jinzhao, staining her red, and then sliding off her body. Only a small amount of blood merged into her body.

But the part that was incorporated wasn't a good thing.

When the amount of blood in her body accumulated to a certain level, Lu Jinzhao felt obvious discomfort.

It was as if a hand was stirring her internal organs and pulling her intestines inside her body. Every now and then, she would feel palpitations, as if her heart was being squeezed by a hand.

The pain had eased a bit when she used the pocket watch, but as she continued to get soaked in the rain, it returned in waves.

When she had to switch rooms again and luckily avoided a close-up attack, before she could even rejoice at having lived another half minute, Lu Jinzhao felt a tearing pain in her abdomen.

She looked down and saw a bluish-purple, withered hand, belonging to a corpse, piercing her abdomen and protruding from her body.

Even with the blood and shattered entrails, Lu Jinzhao recognized it. The hand looked exactly like one of the hands stuck in the corpse on the sofa.

"Is it not just the corpses, but also the blood, that's a source of danger?"

"No, rather, the blood is the root cause, isn't it?"

Lu Jinzhao reached out and tried to pull the hand that didn't belong to her, but found that it seemed to be connected to her internal organs. When she tried to pull it out, her internal organs were pulled out along with it. It's easy to imagine that if she tried to pull it out, the scene would definitely not be pleasant.

Since Lu Jinzhao doesn't have any masochistic hobbies for the time being, he has no choice but to give up.

"Every room has corpses, and opening the door doesn't guarantee a face-to-face kill. Even the unavoidable blood is a source of danger. It seems I'm doomed."

They moved to another room, and in the brief moment of peace before the corpse pounced on them, Lu Jinzhao sighed.

Using her pocket watch to constantly reconstruct her physical condition was of no use; her lifespan was definitely not enough to sustain her through the night.

"Those corpses, were they originally ghosts, or did they become ghosts because blood entered their bodies?"

The deer suddenly spoke, as if asking the air, but the sheepskin knew it was asking itself.

Why are you asking this?

"I don't think I'll survive," Lu Jinzhao said frankly.

"You're quite self-aware. What, you want to make a deal with me?"

"No," Lu Jinzhao still refused.

“I’m going to die,” she said.

Sheepskin was greatly puzzled.

【why? 】

You'd rather die than trade with me?

【why? 】

【why? 】

The deer no longer answers it.

She didn't lie to Sheep, but she also didn't reveal her full plan.

Rather than saying she was going to die, it would be more accurate to say that she had realized that she could do nothing more in the face of her current situation, and she could not find a way to continue to survive. The blood, the corpses, and the changes that had happened to her gave her some inspiration.

Since there's no other way, let's gamble.

When death seemed inevitable, all she had to do was face it head-on and fight for survival.

Lu Jinzhao clenched her right hand slightly as she looked at her intact index finger. The changes brought about by this ghost bone might be the key to breaking the deadlock.

"Drain all the blood from my body." As soon as she finished speaking, she casually tossed the sheepskin out of her pocket.

Then, she put the bell on her wrist, the shadow puppet pressed tightly against her leg, and looked at the corpse that was about to walk in front of her. Instead of opening the door of room 302 to continue her escape, she controlled her body to fall backward, letting herself fall into a sea of ​​blood.

The blood that had spread to her calves instantly engulfed her.

The blood in her body was also swallowed up in large quantities by the wooden box that had not been used for a long time the moment the sheepskin flew out. In just a few seconds, the blood in Lu Jinzhao's body was almost exhausted, and she stopped breathing and her heart stopped beating.

Lu Jinzhao, soaked in blood, was now no different from a corpse.
