We were supposed to be doing horror movie guides, but what the heck is this "mysterious resurre

Chapter 38 The Ringing Bell (Please continue reading)
Chen Xin's heavy blow brought Wu Lei back to his senses on the spot.

The tall female ghost in the blue opera robe disappeared before his eyes. Wu Lei felt a severe tightness in his head, as if the nerves inside had snapped, and he was in so much pain that he couldn't speak.

Seeing that Wu Lei had come to his senses and stopped pinching himself, Chen Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I never expected that what Lu Ming said was true... How did he know?"

The doubts in my heart did not last long, because the real Chu Renmei had not yet left.

The eerie wind, which seemed to have come from nowhere, grew even stronger, causing the curtains to flutter and slap against the walls with a pattering sound. The wind felt as if it were piercing into one's very bones.

"what!"

With a scream, the black in Xia Lili's pupils completely disappeared, leaving only eerie whites that revealed a chilling terror.

"What's wrong with her? Has she also been affected by that ghost and entered a hallucination?"

"No, it's not that simple. Xia Lili is probably possessed by a vengeful ghost."

Chen Xin felt a chill run down her spine. Xia Lili, who was not far away, gave her a very bad feeling, completely different from Wu Lei's situation just now.

It was as if she hadn't been pulled into an illusion by a ghost, but had actually become a cold, vengeful spirit herself.

Of the three, Chen Xin was the least affected because Chu Renmei had not yet attacked her, and because after realizing that she was not good at strength, Chen Xin mainly added the attribute points she got from clearing the dungeon to mental strength and speed.

Wu Lei, who had been lying on the ground, stood up and covered his head, enduring the pain.

Being hit on the head with a heavy ashtray like that is really unbearable for an ordinary person, but the difference between a third-tier challenger and an ordinary person is not as vast as heaven and earth, but it is still quite large.

After understanding their current predicament, Wu Lei's expression became more serious.

This vengeful ghost clearly possessed its own consciousness. Realizing that the illusion could not affect the three people in front of it, it resorted to another method of killing.

Possessed by a ghost.

Xia Lili, who has a quiet and gentle appearance, is staring at the two people in front of her with the whites of her eyes. A faint smile is curving up at the corners of her mouth, and she is holding a brand-new fruit knife that has appeared out of nowhere in her hand.

If all that can happen is to induce hallucinations, then Chu Renmei doesn't seem to have anything to fear.

After all, as long as the cursed person is firmly bound, the person attacked by Chu Renmei will be like someone in an immersive horror movie, and will not be in any immediate danger of death before their mind completely collapses.

As for committing suicide by biting one's tongue, the possibility is extremely low. The tongue is the most sensitive organ, and to bite off one's tongue, one would need to bite it off at least a dozen times.

This is one of the least likely methods of suicide.

However, in addition to creating hallucinations, Chu Renmei can also enter the bodies of normal people whose mental defenses are on the verge of collapse and manipulate their behavior.

They may engage in acts including but not limited to murder, suicide, or expanding the scope of a curse.

That's the current situation.

Realizing this, Wu Lei's face darkened, and he stepped forward to prevent Xia Lili from making any further moves.

He thought he could easily subdue the petite girl with his strength, but for some reason, Xia Lili suddenly unleashed extraordinary strength, no less than Wu Lei's.

Moreover, she felt no pain at all, gripping the fruit knife tightly in her hand, emitting a sharp, eerie laugh as she slashed left and right, injuring people.

At this critical moment, Wu Lei certainly wouldn't hold back just because the other person was a girl.

He knew very well that he was facing a vengeful ghost that had killed countless people, not a harmless young girl!

The two wrestled and struggled, and as time ticked by, the sound of bones breaking echoed through the empty living room. Xia Lili's bones were all broken, and she looked like a rag doll that had fallen apart. Blood was still flowing from the whites of her eyes, making her look incredibly eerie.

But she never stopped moving, like a corpse acting on instinct, the fruit knife in her hand already stained with the blood that had flowed from Wu Lei.

Chen Xin didn't rush forward, knowing that it would only cause trouble. She took out the two Holy Grails that Lu Ming had rejected earlier and tossed them into the air.

pat!

Two pieces of wood were thrown to the ground. After a loud thud, both pieces were flat on the surface, which is the "laughing hexagram," indicating that the matter is unresolved.

Chen Xin's pupils contracted, and she wanted to reach out and pick up the Holy Grail to toss it again.

But some incomprehensible force prevented her from acting.

This should also be considered a rule of the Holy Grail.

"We can't worry about that anymore. If this continues, we won't be able to hold out until the deadline, and everyone will die."

Having survived several horror movie-style dungeons, though they were all relatively easy, Chen Xin's ability wasn't just ruthless towards others; she was even more ruthless towards herself.

Ignoring the obstacle and bearing the mental shock, Chen Xin grabbed the Holy Grail and threw it into the air again!
pat!

With one positive and one negative, one yin and one yang, the conditions for using this item have been triggered.

Seeing this, a smile finally appeared on Chen Xin's face, which was contorted with pain. However, she did not even notice that blood was flowing out of her seven orifices, like a vengeful ghost.

Crimson blood seeped from the Holy Grail, and as the blood gradually turned black, the two pieces of the Holy Grail shattered.

At the same time, Xia Lili's mutilated and twisted body twitched in a way that was not that of a living person. The fruit knife fell to the ground, and she collapsed heavily to the ground.

Wu Lei, this burly and tough guy, took a few steps back, looking exhausted, but he didn't dare to let his guard down for a second.

He probably never imagined that he would be tormented to this extent by a young girl.

Chen Xin asked weakly, "Is it over?"

"The ghost has been driven away for now, but it may not let us go for the time being. Fortunately, it's almost time, and we'll be able to leave here soon."

Despite this, there was not a trace of joy in their expressions at surviving such a disaster.

The difficulty of clearing the three-star dungeon this time far exceeded their expectations.

Moreover, after Xia Lili was possessed by a ghost, she fought with Wu Lei until now, and her body is already broken beyond recognition, with her bloodied and mangled face barely recognizable.

After confirming that there was no danger around, Wu Lei went forward to check on Xia Lili. Her body was cold and lifeless, clearly dead beyond any doubt.

Seeing this scene, Chen Xin suddenly thought of Lu Ming, that newcomer, for some reason.

If it weren't for his parting words, they would probably have been wiped out the moment the vengeful ghost appeared.

The vengeful ghost attacked them just now. Does this mean that Lu Ming is probably safe?
The premise is that Lu Ming did not attempt suicide before this.

Just then, a melodious bell rang out from somewhere, lingering for a long time and refusing to dissipate.

Three days have passed.
