Who says a sickly daughter can’t break through the weirdness?

She was very clear about the current situation. That thing was trying desperately to keep her. If she didn't stop it from interfering with the elevator, she would never be able to leave the basement alive.

Therefore, Shen Qiyin decided to take a risky move -

She raised her left hand slightly, raised the holy wood in her right hand, and aimed at the cold metal door.

Her idea was simple, which was to use the power of the holy wood to close the door!

I forgot which game I played this scene in before, but when an evil spirit wants to come out from behind the door to attack the character, as long as you can close the door, the evil spirit will temporarily disappear.

The black tentacles extending from the thing behind the door are afraid of holy light. If the holy wood is thrown in, perhaps it can cause greater damage to its "main body"?

The door looked very far away from her, but in fact it was only about ten meters away. Even with Shen Qinyin's strength, she could easily throw the holy wood ten meters away.

Therefore, after taking aim, Shen Qiyin plucked up her courage and threw the holy wood into the metal door without any hesitation!

The moment the holy wood fell into the door, the dark tentacles that were originally slowly retreating began to twitch and twist wildly as if they were burned!

Shen Qiyin, who thought it worked, immediately looked delighted.

However, after the Holy Wood was brought in, besides the crazy twitching of those dark tentacles...

The metal door still showed no signs of being closed!

Chapter 6 Exorcism!

No way......

Did I make a wrong bet?

But judging from the performance of those tentacles, the holy wood had obviously caused damage to them!

20 seconds, 19 seconds, 18 seconds...

Shen Qinyin calculated the time in her mind, gritted her teeth, and stared at the metal door nervously.

In the dark and deep basement, the holy light emitted by the holy wood behind the door seems to be the only salvation in this world.

Ten seconds passed and the door still couldn't be closed!

Although the dark tentacles were twisting and retreating under the illumination of the holy light, the cramped air and chill in the basement continued to stimulate Shen Qinyin's body.

Apart from her cell phone, she had nothing else on her that could serve as a light source and be upgraded to holy wood.

Although mobile phones have flash lights, their upgrade path always revolves around their core functions and cannot be upgraded to completely different concepts.

Shen Qinyin was certain that if the door could not be closed, then at the moment the holy wood was completely burned out, the darkness that had been driven away would rush towards her with even greater ferocity!

Right now, we can be said to be running out of ammunition and food in the true sense!

Five seconds, four seconds, three seconds...

The holy wood seemed to be about to burn out, and the light it emitted began to fade significantly.

Even if she couldn't see it, Shen Qiyin could probably imagine that the holy tree at this moment was like a real candle in the wind, which could go out at any time.

Close it, close it quickly!!

Shen Qinyin almost couldn't hold back and roared out. The holy light behind the door began to shake and flicker, as if announcing to Shen Qinyin that it had burned to the last moment!

Two seconds, one second...

Shen Qinyin clenched her fists tightly, cold sweat soaked her forehead, and strands of hair stuck to it in a messy manner.

Finally, when the sacred wood was about to burn out—

"Boom!!"

The metal door made a heavy muffled sound and closed successfully!

The originally dim and flickering lights in the elevator car became clearer, barely dispelling the darkness in the basement, as if telling Shen Qinyin that the threat had left.

But Shen Qinyin didn't have time to stay and calm down.

It can be seen from the other party's "reluctant" retreat just now that the role of the holy wood is only to temporarily drive away "that thing". I am afraid it will come back again in a short time.

Because of this, she didn't dare use this time to collect food and water.

Thinking of this, Shen Qinyin pressed the floor button, then looked at the elevator door with a worried look on her face, fearing that the elevator door would not be able to close like before.

Fortunately, her worries were unnecessary. With the faint roar of the machinery, the elevator door closed successfully.

Just as the elevator door closed, Shen Qinyin clearly heard a light "click" sound coming from the metal door.

Then, a subtle but clearly audible whisper sounded in her ears again. The sound seemed to be mixed with the mechanical sound of the elevator, and it seemed to be able to penetrate her skull directly and echo in her mind.

Sure enough, the time Shengmu gained was very short, just enough for him to barely escape.

Although she was unwilling, Shen Qiyin was very glad that she did not risk her life to get the water, otherwise she would definitely die!

The elevator car slowly rose, and with the sound of a "ding" prompt, it stopped in the villa lobby, and the car door slowly opened to both sides.

Shen Qiyin maneuvered the wheelchair out of the elevator car. It was not until her legs were bathed in the warm sunset that she finally looked like she had survived a disaster and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"call......"

Finally I came back alive.

The palpitation she felt just a second away from death, and the indescribable "existence" that tried to erode her brain made her heart beat wildly.

For a moment, she thought she was definitely dead.

The thrill of escaping death made Shen Qinyin's back completely soaked with cold sweat. She didn't notice it before, but now that she had escaped, the feeling of the wet fabric sticking to her skin made her very uncomfortable.

She sighed, maneuvered her wheelchair, and went back to her bedroom to change her clothes.

My body is weak to begin with. If I don’t change into clean clothes in time, it will be terrible if I catch a cold.

Even if there are still medicines left at home, it may be difficult to get them in the current situation. Every pill you take is one less pill, so unless you have to, it is best not to leave yourself at risk of illness.

Shen Qinyin was maneuvering the wheelchair and was about to return to the bedroom, but the next moment, her pupils suddenly shrank as if she realized something extremely terrifying!

Wait, sunset?!

Shen Qinyin looked up out the window. The setting sun was blood-red. The afterglow of the sunset was like a bloody giant hand sweeping across the sky, tearing the last wisp of cloud into pieces.

how can that be!

Shen Qiyin remembered clearly that the sun had just risen when she killed the monster in the bedroom. Although some time was wasted in the investigation, it was definitely not noon before she entered the basement!

What's more, the time I spent in the basement could not have exceeded ten minutes anyway!

She hurriedly took out her cell phone and checked the time. It was 5:30 in the afternoon.

Combined with the setting sun outside, Shen Qiyin had no choice but to face this incredible reality, no matter how unwilling she was to believe it.

There is no doubt that the thing in the basement must have the power to affect time.

Or it affects one's own cognition, causing one to misjudge the speed of time.

If it's the latter, it's fine, as it's more consistent with Shen Qiyin's recent experience of headache and dizziness, but if it's the former...

Affecting time, what a terrifying "existence" this must be...

Shen Qiyin suddenly remembered that she had spent nearly a month inexplicably in her sleep, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Could it be that the reason I was in a coma for a month was because I was affected by something similar?

There are too many mysteries at present, and the information Shen Qiyin has is too scarce. It is impossible to piece together the truth with just the clues now.

But one thing is certain, the world has become like this, what else is there that is incomprehensible?

Thankfully, that thing in the basement doesn't seem to be leaving the basement.

Otherwise, it would definitely chase us out after the suppression effect of the Holy Wood disappeared, and the elevator should never be able to operate.

Shen Qiyin was not clear about the hunting mechanism of that thing, but as of now, it seemed that it only moved in the basement, and would only "wake up" when a creature entered its territory and attack anyone who entered the basement.

As long as you don't go down, it will be fine.

The only trouble is that a large amount of food and clean water are in the basement. If you can't get them and can't find supplies elsewhere, it would be equivalent to being sentenced to death in advance.

Think carefully, is there any way to eliminate that thing...

Judging from Shengmu’s performance just now, his notebook is capable of creating items to fight against “that thing”.

The problem is, it's very expensive.

Shen Qiyin still hasn't figured out the "charging standard" of the notebook, but judging from the fact that a piece of holy wood that can only burn for 30 seconds requires 5 desire stones, while the exorcist holy spear only requires 1 desire stone, it seems that items that can drive away "that kind of thing" will probably cost a high price.

But if you think about it from another perspective, as long as there are enough desire stones, perhaps you can create a powerful tool that can completely destroy "that thing".

Therefore, besides gathering intelligence, finding food and water, finding a way to obtain the Desire Stone is the most important thing...

Chapter 7 Entity!

Shen Qiyin watched the sunset outside the window slowly setting. The night was like an insatiable beast, swallowing the entire world into its dark abyss.

It will be dark soon, and I have to go back to my room and hide.

She maneuvered her wheelchair and took the elevator back upstairs. When she arrived at the bedroom, she remembered that the door lock had been damaged due to the violent impact of the monster in the early morning.

Shen Qinyin originally wanted to change to another room, but when she thought about the monsters at night that could break the door, she realized that the outcome would be the same no matter where she moved to.

She placed her palm gently on the door, and with a thought, a familiar font appeared on the notebook in her mind:

[Do you want to spend 1 Desire Stone to upgrade the "Ordinary Wooden Door" to a "Metal Security Door"?]

Metal security doors...can they keep out monsters in the night?

Is there a door that has the power to ward off evil spirits, exorcise demons, and drive away monsters?

As this thought came to mind, the words on the notebook changed:

[Do you want to spend 50 Desire Stones to upgrade the "Ordinary Wooden Door" to the "Exorcism Door"?]

Oh my god, 50 lust stones? That's too expensive...

Desire Stone, Desire Stone, where can I go to collect so many Desire Stones for you?

Shen Qinyin held her forehead helplessly, and after much thought, she decided to upgrade this door to an ordinary metal security door.

As the light shone, the originally exquisitely patterned mahogany door turned into a plain, heavy and sturdy double-opening security door.

This type of door is the kind of anti-collision and explosion-proof door that is more common in factories. Its sturdiness and protective properties are naturally beyond doubt.

Unless a carbon-based creature larger than the one that appeared last night appears, it will be almost impossible to break open this door.

However, this door appeared in the bedroom of a luxuriously decorated villa, and Shen Qinyin felt like her room had become a fresh food freezer.

Now there are only three desire stones left in her notebook. Shen Qinyin originally wanted to look for clues elsewhere before the night fell completely, but the darkness came faster than she imagined.

The night that was a hundred meters away half a minute ago suddenly enveloped the manor in just a short while.

Especially the fog that followed, which was like a surging tide, submerging all the facilities along the way.

Shen Qinyin closed the window and drew the curtains, and the room suddenly fell into darkness.

She took out the portable light source she had prepared, turned on the switch, and bright light emanated from the bulb.

It was now six o'clock in the afternoon and it was completely dark.

Shen Qinyin sat at the desk, holding a mobile phone in her hand, looking a little melancholy.

She was unable to travel far, and the manor was far away from the city. She had no idea what the situation was in the outside world, and she urgently needed information.

The problem is that the signal base station has obviously been destroyed, and the mobile phone is now like a brick. I am afraid that only by upgrading it to a "satellite signal network communication device" can communication be restored.

The reason why it is possible is because Shen Qiyin has made the worst-case scenario plan for the outside world.

If she were the only one left in the world and the satellite equipment was unmanned, then having a satellite phone would be of no use.

What bothers her most now is that upgrading her phone costs 3 Desire Stones, which means that after the upgrade, she will be completely penniless.

Should I upgrade...

Shen Qinyin stroked her chin, and suddenly an idea came to her mind. She opened the drawer and took out a small pink radio.

The signal frequency bands received by mobile phone signals and radios are different. Mobile phones mainly rely on mobile communication networks, while radios receive radio waves from radio stations.

Broadcast stations typically have greater transmission power and coverage, allowing radios to receive signals over a wider area.

Therefore, when mobile phones are not useful, radios may play an unexpected role.

After Shen Qiyin checked and confirmed that the radio was working properly, she quickly switched the channel to the official emergency broadcast channel.
