"die"

The prompt font lit up, Bai Yu opened his eyes, and it was still that familiar place.

Reopen!

Chapter 161 The Eighth Death

"These idiots..."

Bai Yu rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.

This is the third time it has reopened.

Each of these three experiences was different.

But again, none of them made it past the third day.

The main reason is that Xuan Tiansi is the investigator whose mysterious death has been repeated four times, and when the next day comes, Ying Yuhuai will definitely die.

And because Bai Yu was an outsider, no one would believe him even if he pointed this out to his face.

Sometimes, being one step ahead is a genius, while being a hundred steps ahead is a madman.

If someone came to your door right away and told you what would happen next... would you listen carefully to what they said as if it were the truth, or would you treat them as a lunatic and turn them away?

Probably not, because the other party keeps talking about retribution, death and the like, and you might suspect that he is a salesman.

It's a pity that Bai Yu doesn't have a convincing identity, even though he repeatedly emphasized that Lu Zhong must look after his lover.

But the end result is often the same.

After Ying Yuhuai died, Lu Zhong immediately became furious and couldn't stay calm. Even if he seemed calm, he would definitely go out to collect the body, no matter if it was done secretly or openly.

This kind of suicidal behavior will directly attract ghosts... and the red-clothed ghost wandering outside is always unwilling to go far. Once the door is opened, she will rush in and have a happy buffet.

Bai Yu can't stop it alone.

Although he was already familiar with the skills and killing range of the red-clothed ghost, there were too many people holding him back and the battle situation was limited. The most disgusting thing was that the red-clothed ghost would rush in and destroy the doors and windows, letting other evil ghosts in to eat buffet together. At that time, he could only add some cumin and chili powder to himself and lie down at the table.

When it reopened for the third time, Bai Yu simply changed his resting place to the second-floor corridor without any hesitation and slept on the floor. There was no movement all night.

But it was of no use, Ying Yuhuai died again.

Bai Yu once wondered if she was an NPC in the game. Once the time came to trigger the plot, she would turn into a corpse and teleport over to die...

However, one person's power is always limited.

After restarting several times, Bai Yu felt that she had done her best, but her death was too tragic.

He discovered that since he couldn't change the fact of Ying Yuhuai's death no matter what, what he should consider now is how to repel the red-clothed ghost.

This requires the help of investigators.

So he turned his attention to the original investigator.

So this time, Bai Yu did not go directly to Su Ruoji, but went into the villa to build good relationships with the students.

Because I remembered the investigator's appearance, it didn't take too much effort to find this person. The investigator was originally from this village, and after a little inquiry, I learned that one of his identities was the stationmaster of the hydropower station working here.

He didn't go looking for her on purpose, but waited... waited until after sunset, and then he had a chance encounter.

This is the fourth reopening.

……

"Come on!"

When Bai Yu saw the other party, the investigator issued a warning: "Run!"

He walked over, covering his wound. Bai Yu approached directly, grabbed the investigator's arm, lifted him up, and ran with all his strength. Behind him came bursts of tragic roars, which were extremely familiar.

"You are……"

"I'm extraordinary." Bai Yu wanted to look back, but the trees on both sides of the mountain road had fallen down. He didn't dare to look back at all: "What on earth is chasing us? I clearly didn't buy the emergency syrup!"

"It's a red-clothed ghost, a red-clothed ghost." The investigator panted, looked towards the light ahead, and said hurriedly, "Quick, let's go to the house ahead to take shelter!"

Bai Yu nodded... He thought to himself that it was indeed not a coincidence. Judging from the direction the investigator came back, he must have returned from the mountain, not from the hydropower station. Otherwise, he could have gone directly into the village instead of coming to this summer resort in the mountains.

But finally all eight people were gathered together!

After knocking on the door, the two of them walked in quickly, and Bai Yu walked into the entrance hall.

The first person he saw was Su Ruoji, not Qin Xuezao.

It's obviously different from before...but there's no time to worry about that.

The Xuantiansi investigator took out a talisman and made instructions and judgments that were similar to Bai Yu's before. Because of his official status in the Xuantiansi, the students had a higher degree of trust and obedience.

Bai Yu also took out a bandage to help bandage the wound.

The investigator grimaced in pain while cleaning the wound. After finishing, he patted Bai Yu on the shoulder and said, "Thanks, brother. My last name is Liang Muqi."

"Bai...Yu." Bai Yu gave a fake name: "You can just call me Mr. Bai or Brother Bai."

"Brother Bai is quick to act, but a bit harsh with his words." Liang Muqi smiled and patted the other man's shoulder. "If it weren't for you, I might have died at the hands of that man in red."

"Then why don't you call me brother?"

"You are younger than me."

The two adult men established a friendship in just a few words. Although they met and spent time together for a short time, Bai Yu's decisiveness and lack of hesitation in saving people, as well as his agility in avoiding the pursuit of the red-clothed man, immediately made Liang Muqi of Xuantiansi trust and have a good impression of him.

After all, Bai Yu did save him. In that situation, he might have lost his life as well.

He didn't even ask Bai Yu why he was going up the mountain after dark, because Bai Yu had prepared a hiking bag in advance, and he could explain that he was going to the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise. Some people just like to climb mountains and patrol the mountains.

During the exchange, the students had already pasted the talismans, and the subsequent developments were no different from before.

If we were to say what the biggest difference is, it would probably be that Bai Yu is gone, so the students' dinner is not rich at all.

Liang Muqi's injury this time was not serious. He only had a slight injury on his waist. There was no damage to his internal organs, only superficial injuries.

After dispelling the evil spirit attached to the wound, he quickly regained the ability to move freely.

The investigator then began to talk about the specific situation.

"A tragedy occurred in this village in ancient times, but due to the age of time, most of the information has been lost. I am stationed here as an investigator to inform Xuan Tiansi if any unexpected situation occurs... Please rest assured, classmates, if a large-scale ghost phenomenon occurs, it will be immediately taken seriously. As long as we hold out here for a week, we will be rescued."

As a public official, his words are convincing.

It’s like some people feel unwell all over, but when they go to the hospital, their back and leg pains suddenly go away, and all their problems become insignificant.

This is the psychological effect.

Even if Bai Yu said it a hundred times, it would not be as effective as a word of comfort from the other party, because as ordinary people, the students may not believe how reliable this investigator is, but they will definitely be willing to believe Xuan Tiansi.

Only after everyone dispersed did he tell Bai Yu, who was also an adult and a transcendent, the truth - it was extremely difficult to enter the ghost cave for rescue, because it was difficult to find the entrance and difficult to pass through. If rescue did not arrive within ten days, then he would probably have to find a way to survive on his own.

It was indeed a comfort.

Bai Yu and Liang Muqi chatted for a while, and then they saw Su Ruoji coming down with a pillow and a cup.

She decided to stay in the hall with the two adults to keep watch, but fell asleep soon after.

Bai Yu continued to stay up all night. He patrolled around with a flashlight, making sure that no unexpected situations occurred.

The following morning.

Ying Yuhuai's body was found.

Familiar formula, familiar taste.

Lu Zhong was temporarily subdued. Bai Yu tied him up in the hall and asked several students to take turns guarding him. Just when dinner was coming, Lu Zhong took advantage of Yu Haiqing's unpreparedness, broke free from the ropes and rushed outside.

Bai Yu tried to intercept, but couldn't control himself for a moment.

"This kid... is in the stress period?"

This was a situation that had not occurred in the previous times, but it was enough to explain why every time Lu Zhong opened the door, the other students did not stop him... because they could not stop him.

Lu Zhong finally opened the door and rushed to the courtyard. Just as he opened the door, he was rushed in by ghosts and staggered. An evil ghost grabbed his throat and he struggled to get up.

After being reminded by Bai Yu, Liang Muqi was prepared. He drew out a man-made peach wood sword that was struck by lightning, and swung the sword towards the evil ghost. The evil ghost collapsed immediately at the touch.

They were clearly at the same level, and if Bai Yu didn't have the projection of the veteran's heroic spirit, it would have been very difficult for him to deal with him, but he could be killed instantly.

Industry specializing in surgery.

What a good weakness to break through.

After stabbing five or six evil spirits to death, Bai Yu tried to close the door, but was hit on the shoulder by a claw. He flipped 720 degrees in the air and landed on the ground. A purple-blue spot on his shoulder gave him a stinging sensation that was both cold and hot.

The red-clothed ghost finally came.

Liang Muqi cursed, "You're haunting me! Do you really want to kill me?"

He pulled out a yellow paper talisman and pierced it with the peach wood sword, then bit his fingertips and wiped his palm across the peach wood sword.

The ten fingers are connected to the heart, and the blood on the fingertips is the blood in the heart. The hot blood in a man's heart is also blood with extremely strong yang energy. It has an excellent restraining effect on evil spirits, and even the red-clothed evil spirit is included in this category.

Bai Yu evacuated other students while observing the battle situation.

Logically speaking, the investigator who was not seriously injured should be able to deal with a red-clothed ghost...if he can't kill it, he should be able to drive it away.

However, at this critical moment, Bai Yu did not see any trace of Qin Xuezao. He asked Su Ruji: "Where is the other person?"

Su Ruoji finally reacted at this moment: "Yes, where is the snow bath?"

She suddenly realized that her good friend was missing and hurried to look for her.

Bai Yu was about to leave when he heard the investigator yell, "Brother Bai...Brother Bai, come and help me!"

Even my brother is calling out, it seems I can’t hold on any longer.

Bai Yu could only turn around, and the two of them joined forces to fight the man in red.

After a lot of effort, Liang Muqi had all ten fingers bitten and lost 500 milliliters of blood, and finally expelled the man in red. After the latter was driven out, the doors and windows were slammed and made a violent shaking sound.

Bai Yu didn't even have time to sigh that he had finally passed.

Because he knew that more trouble was yet to come.

He barely managed to catch his breath and dragged his exhausted body towards the basement.

Su Ruoji was seen kneeling there, with a corpse in front of her.

Warm blood spread on the white tiles, and the body was warm, obviously having died not long ago.

Qin Xuezao died.

Just as recorded in the diary.

It's not even clear how she was killed... The situation was chaotic just now, and she must have been killed within the last half hour.

What a wonderful three-pronged pitfall! Starting from Ying Yuhuai's death, the whole situation began to take a sharp turn for the worse, falling into an irreversible domino effect.

……So

...Do you want to reopen?

...Or should we continue to wait and see how things develop, perhaps we can find other clues?

Bai Yu looked at Su Ruoji, who was in a daze, and said slowly, "There must be a traitor among us. The deaths of Ying Yuhuai and Qin Xuezao were caused by this person."

Su Ruoji lowered her head, her hair covering her face, making it impossible to see her expression. Her voice was thick with nasal sounds. "Can you please let me be alone for a while?"

Bai Yu turned around and left the basement.

About an hour later, Su Ruo walked out of the basement. Her steps were slow and heavy, as if she was carrying a heavy burden. She looked at everyone.

Everyone including Bai Yu.

There is questioning and vigilance towards everything in his eyes.

If someone revealed clues that they might be the murderer, that suspicion would surely turn into a strong murderous intent.

"Whoever killed them..."

"I swear, it will all come at a price."
