All Realms and Worlds: The Lost Home

There is no escape.

"No, no... We still have a chance..." Su Qing gritted her teeth, looking at Ning Ye, "Ning Ye, do you remember the exorcism spell from the Dragon Group? The one they chanted before! Can we use that to deal with her?"

Ning Ye paused for a moment, then nodded.

He remembers.

Previously, the Dragon Group members recited that exorcism incantation, the one called "Supreme Star, Unceasing Response".

But he didn't know if that would work on the little girl who was possessed by an evil god.

"I... I remember a little..." Ning Ye said softly, "but I don't know if it will be useful, and besides, we can't get close to her at all."

"Then...then we run out the window?" Brother Wang suddenly pointed to the window, his eyes filled with madness. "We'll climb out the window! There shouldn't be many strange things downstairs! We can escape!"

"Are you crazy?" Su Qing retorted instantly, "This is the third floor! Climb down? You want to fall to your death? Besides, the ground floor is full of eerie things; if we go down there, we'll just be delivering ourselves to the ground!"

"What else can we do?!" Brother Wang roared, his voice cracking. "Just wait for that monster to break down the door and kill us all?! Do we have any other choice?!"

"We can stay here and wait for dawn! Maybe things will get better when it's light!" Su Qing said.

"Dawn? Dawn my ass!" Brother Wang cursed. "Didn't you see? That monster isn't afraid of dawn at all! If we wait any longer, the door will be broken down, and we'll all be dead!"

"Bang!"

Another loud bang!

The door was bumped again, and the cabinet moved forward a lot more!

The door has been forced open a crack!

An eye appeared in the slit!

It was a strange eye, with no whites, just pure black!

They were staring intently at the people in the room!

"ah--!!!"

Nancy screamed in fright and hid behind Ning Ye.

Everyone took a step back in fright, trembling all over.

That eye!

She's watching them!

"whee……"

From the crack in the door came the laughter of a little girl, so close it seemed to be right next to me!

"I see you all..."

Zhang Lei was so scared that his soul almost left his body. He shoved Brother Wang aside and rushed towards the window!

"I'm not going to waste any more time with you! I'm running! I'm running!"

He frantically opened the window and tried to climb out!

"Are you crazy! Come back!" Ning Ye rushed over and grabbed him!

"Let me go! Let me go!" Zhang Lei struggled frantically, his eyes filled with madness. "I don't want to die! I don't want to die! That monster is coming in! I have to run!"

"You'll die if you go down there! The area downstairs is full of monsters! Going down there is just suicide!" Ning Ye gripped him tightly and growled.

"Dying is better than being killed by that monster!" Zhang Lei roared. "At least it'll be a quick and painless death! Let me go!"

"Calm down!"

"I can't calm down!"

Just as the two were tugging at each other, Zhang Lei suddenly stopped.

His eyes widened suddenly as he looked behind Ning Ye.

His lips moved, as if he wanted to say something.

"You, you..."

His voice was trembling uncontrollably.

"Zhang Lei? What's wrong?" Ning Ye frowned, about to turn around.

"She...she's behind you..."

Zhang Lei hadn't finished speaking.

Suddenly, a dark figure darted out from behind Ning Ye!

It was a tiny figure!

It's that little girl!

She'd already come in, I don't know when!

Holding the shards of glass in her hand, she stabbed them viciously into Zhang Lei's neck!

"Pfft!"

Blood spurted out instantly!

Zhang Lei's eyes widened suddenly. He looked down at his neck, then looked up at the little girl.

His mouth moved as if he wanted to say something, but no sound came out.

Then, he fell straight down.

died!

Ning Ye froze instantly!

He turned around abruptly and saw the little girl standing behind him with that eerie smile on her face.

She was still clutching the red smiley face balloon in her hand.

The smiling face on the balloon was facing him, grinning as if it were smiling.

"When...when did you come in?"

Brother Wang was so frightened that he took a step back, dropping the steel pipe in his hand to the ground, his voice trembling uncontrollably.

The little girl didn't speak, but smiled and slowly raised her head to look at him.

"whee……"

Her voice was high-pitched and eerie.

"The door was too big, I squeezed in through the crack..."

Door crack?

That crack in the door, barely the width of a finger?

How did she even get in here?!

How is this possible?!

Everyone was stunned, and their bodies went cold.

This monster is not human at all!

She's a complete and utter monster!

"Run! Run!"

Ning Ye realized what was happening, grabbed Nancy and Su Qing, and ran towards the inner room.

Inside the office, there is another cubicle, which used to be the finance department's break room.

Only there, there is a door!

Brother Wang realized what was happening and turned to run after them!

The little girl stood still, not chasing after them, but just watching their backs and smiling.

"Run... Run, you guys run..."

Her voice echoed in the room, tinged with a strong sense of mockery.

"You can't escape anyway..."

Ning Ye and the others rushed into the lounge, slammed the door shut, and locked it.

This time, they didn't have any cabinets blocking the door.

The door to this lounge was just an ordinary wooden door, which couldn't stop the little girl at all.

"Clang!"

They had just locked the door when they heard a banging sound coming from outside.

The wooden door was instantly dented!

"It's over! It's over!" Brother Wang leaned against the door, trembling all over. "This door won't stop her! She can break it down in no time!"

Ning Ye glanced around the lounge.

It was very small, only a few square meters, with only a bed and a cabinet inside, and not even a window.

This is a dead end!

They're trapped here!

"I...I told you before...the killer was hiding in the crowd, we couldn't stop him..." Brother Wang's voice was filled with despair as he slumped to the ground. "I knew it...we were all going to die..."

His words were filled with a deep sense of despair, the powerlessness of someone who had foreseen death.

"Don't forget the man in the suit from earlier in the day... the boy whose spine was dislocated... and Old Zhao... Li Zhe... Lin Xiao... Zhang Lei..." he murmured, his voice growing softer and softer, "The next one... the next one will be us, won't it?"

These words, like a curse, struck everyone's heart.

Yes.

One by one, they all died.

Now, only the four of them are left.

Who will be the next one?

"No, no... We still have a chance..." Su Qing gritted her teeth, picking up a steel pipe that had fallen to the ground—the one Wang Ge had dropped earlier. "We'll fight her! Even if it means we all die!"

"Fight? What are you going to fight with?" Brother Wang gave a bitter laugh. "Can you beat her? She's just a little girl, yet she killed so many people. Can you really beat her?"

"We can't just sit here and wait to die!"

"Bang!"

The outer door was hit again, and the cracks in the wooden door grew wider and wider.

Wood chips kept falling down.

"Did you hear that? She's coming in!" Brother Wang's voice trembled uncontrollably. "Those footsteps... she's getting closer and closer!"

He had just finished speaking.

The banging on the door suddenly stopped.

The corridor fell silent again.

Everyone was stunned.

Why did it stop again?

Ning Ye frowned. He walked to the door, pressed his ear against it, and listened carefully.

Just then, he heard a very soft sound.

Sizzle... Sizzle...

Is that the sound of a balloon deflating?

As he was wondering, a very soft voice suddenly came from the crack in the door.

"I know you're inside..."

It was a little girl's voice.

"How about I tell you a story?"

Her voice was soft and sweet.

"Once upon a time, there was a group of people who hid in a small room, thinking they could escape..."

"And then, that evil spirit ate them all, one by one..."

"The first one had his tongue pulled out... The second one had his eyes gouged out... The third one..."

Her voice grew increasingly eerie and cold.

It sent chills down one's spine.

Nancy was so frightened that she hid in Ning Ye's arms, trembling all over, and dared not listen.

"Don't...don't listen...don't listen to her..." Su Qing's voice was very low as she shook her head at everyone. "She's just trying to distract us!"

Ning Ye nodded; he knew too.

That evil spirit just wanted to scare them and drive them to their breaking point.

Even knowing that, the fear still seeped into my bones.

"And then, as the last person was being eaten by the demon, he was still crying out, 'Mommy, save me...'"

"Hehe...aren't you pitiful?"

The little girl's voice carried a hint of mockery.

Just then, Ning Ye suddenly thought of something.

He suddenly raised his head and looked at Su Qing.

"The rules!" His voice was low but urgent. "The rules we saw before! Rule three! Watch out for the laughing balloons!"

Su Qing was stunned for a moment, then instantly realized what was going on!

"You mean... that balloon is the real thing?"

Ning Ye nodded!

Yup!

That little girl was just a possessed puppet!

The real thing is that smiley face balloon!

They had already been reminded of the rules before!

Watch out for the laughing balloon!

They had been focusing all their attention on the little girl and had forgotten about the balloon!

If that's the case, then if we just destroy that balloon, can we kill that evil spirit?

"Yes! That must be it!" Ning Ye's eyes lit up. "As long as we destroy that balloon, she'll die!"

Brother Wang was also stunned for a moment, then, as if grasping at a straw, exclaimed, "Really? Really? Then how do we destroy it? We can't even get close to it!"

"We can trick her!" Ning Ye whispered. "She wants to play games, right? We'll pretend to surrender, and then, when she's not looking, destroy the balloon!"

"Will this... will this work?" Brother Wang hesitated.

"Whether it works or not, we have to try!" Su Qing gritted her teeth. "It's better than sitting here waiting to die!"

Just then, the outside door was suddenly slammed open!

"Bang!"

The wooden door was smashed open, leaving a crack!

The little girl's face appeared through the crack in the door!

The same eerie smile remained on her face.

"Hehe... What are you guys talking about?"

Her voice rang out.

"Are you thinking about how to destroy my balloon?"

Ning Ye's heart sank suddenly!

She heard it!

She actually overheard their conversation!

The little girl smiled and slowly pushed open the door.

She walked in, step by step.

The smiley face balloon in my hand swayed.

That smiling face grew bigger and bigger, and more and more eerie.

"It's no use..."

Her voice was full of mockery.

"None of you can escape..."

Ning Ye gripped the steel pipe tightly and took a deep breath.

He knew they had no way out.
