My ghost wives all want to kill me?

Especially when she knew that she would have to blindfold herself and walk alone on this scary staircase later, the fear in her heart spread even more involuntarily.

"Take it easy, take your time."

The moment she covered her eyes with the opaque black cloth, Wang Xinlan's world became pitch black.

"okay."

It wasn't until Li Gui's voice sounded that his uneasy mood began to improve.

"I just counted one side for you. There are thirteen steps in one section. There is a turning point in the middle. If you feel your way along the wall and walk up, you can reach the upper level."

In order to let Wang Xinlan adapt to walking in the dark, Li Gui turned off the flashlight and did not pull her.

"Yes, got it."

Fear often comes from the unknown. Being deprived of sight, Wang Xinlan's whole body tightened involuntarily. Her breathing began to become rapid. She really hoped that Li Gui would say more or hold her hand.

But someone's voice only sounded behind him.

"Let's go, I'll follow you."

"Uh-huh."

There was a voice in her brain that wanted Wang Xinlan to ask Li Gui to hold her, but Wang Xinlan's reason suppressed the voice.

She knew that the reason why Li Gui didn't pull her up was because of the 11 floors in front of her. Li Gui could be her solid backing, allowing her to slowly adapt to the environment under her feet and overcome her inner fear.

This is far more important than pulling her up, because by the time she reaches the 11th floor, she will be the only one on the remaining 13th or 14th floor.

At that time, even Li Gui couldn't help her.

"Take your time, don't worry."

"Uh-huh."

Wang Xinlan groped the wall and reached the first step. She adjusted her breathing and walked up.

There was silence all around, and Li Gui was silent when he followed her. Sometimes Wang Xinlan called him, but he wouldn't speak.

Unless Wang Xinlan is particularly uneasy because of fear, this man's voice will come out from behind.

"Take your time, don't worry."

She walked up a little bit, because just to adapt, Wang Xinlan did not stop at the first eleven floors and called her best friend's name.

But even so, half an hour had passed by the time she reached the eleventh floor.

Of course, the effect of this kind of training was obvious. Starting from the sixth floor, Wang Xinlan never called Li Gui's name, but kept groping her way to the eleventh floor.

"There are still 10 minutes left, you can prepare."

After untying the black cloth, Wang Xinlan's face was slightly red and her breathing was slightly rapid. Li Gui stood beside her, without turning on the flashlight, but just glanced at the time through his mobile phone.

The two stopped at the stairs on the 11th floor. Li Gui blocked the door. To his left was a dark corridor.

"Is there a time limit for this ceremony?"

Wang Xinlan, who regained her sight, looked at the man in front of her with complicated eyes. In the darkness, it was his voice that sounded out again and again in the midst of uneasiness and helplessness.

"Just don't wait till dawn."

Li Gui still likes to use some cold humor that is not easy to write to make her relax.Wang Xinlan smiled forcefully, her eyes stayed on the other side of her body, and she continued to climb the stairs.

It was obviously nothing special, but she always felt in her heart that it was the way to another world.

"If you succeed in meeting your bestie during this ceremony, what are you going to do next?"

Li Gui deliberately wanted to distract Wang Xinlan so that she would not be too nervous.

"Maybe I want to continue working to make money. I want to cure Mengmeng's disease so that she can be adopted and not stay in an orphanage."

Chapter 492 The World of the Dead

Wang Xinlan turned her eyes and her breathing gradually calmed down. The two of them were alone together, so she couldn't help but want to ask whether Li Gui was simply being a hooligan by touching her butt for no reason in the villa, or whether he wanted to date her.

But sensing that the current atmosphere was not right, she hesitated for a while and did not speak.

"Treatment for mental illness is a long process. For adoption, you can apply more often."

Wang Xinlan pursed her lips. She felt that Li Gui was secretly saying that she was old. You must understand that the minimum age for adopting a child must be over 30 years old.

"I'm only 24 this year, not too old."

The voice in front of him was silent for a moment, and after a while, Li Gui's dumbfounding words came.

"I'm not saying you're old, it's just that the law is ruthless and the love is there. Mengmeng's situation is special. Only seeing you will make her feel better. If she responds truthfully to her superiors, her adoption request may be approved under special circumstances."

Wang Xinlan was silent for a while, then shook her head and said: "No, I have tried many times, but it has no effect, and even if I agree to adopt, it is difficult for me to afford Mengmeng's treatment and living expenses due to my current financial conditions. "

Seeing Li Gui pondering this, Wang Xinlan didn't know what she thought of, her heart beat inexplicably and her eyes moved elsewhere.

"Indeed, cost is also an issue."

But Li Gui's normal reaction made Wang Xinlan's originally flustered mood become a little mixed.

She actually wanted to hear Li Gui say, it's okay, you and I, we can raise her together.

In this way, she can be sure that Li Gui's behavior towards her in the villa was not frivolous, but that he really wanted to be with her, so that she can accept her heart calmly. No matter what Mengmeng's situation is, she will Follow Li Gui.

But she didn't know whether Li Gui deliberately chose to avoid it, or whether he didn't understand it at all and didn't answer as she thought.

"Li Gui."

After more than ten seconds, Wang Xinlan seemed to have made up her mind, her voice sounded again, and she raised her head.

"Ok?"

"Can I be your girlfriend?"

"what?"

In the quiet environment, as if to make sure he heard correctly, Li Gui unconsciously moved closer.

"I want to be your girlfriend."

Wang Xinlan's heartbeat began to speed up, and her breathing became faster and faster. This was her first confession, but it didn't seem to be as difficult as she thought. It was just a thought, and she suddenly said it.

"But I have a girlfriend, don't you know?"

Li Gui didn't know why, but the smile on his face was a little stiff, and he looked to his left frequently. When he found nothing, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"I can be your second."

Wang Xinlan didn't know what she had misunderstood, and she said something that made Li Gui feel incredible.

"I will take her place and take good care of you, Li Gui. I don't think you should always be in the memories of the past, even if you..."

"Okay, okay, it's almost time. Start quickly. Stop talking, stop talking."

Before she finished speaking, Wang Xinlan saw Li Gui walking over with a face full of panic. She hurriedly took the black cloth and covered her eyes.

"You are very good. You will definitely meet someone better in the future. Stop talking about this and get started."

Wang Xinlan frowned.

"I won't give up. You helped me, and I will help you get out of this haze."

Li Gui took a deep breath and looked around the two of them with panic on his face when Wang Xinlan was covered with a black cloth.

He really wanted to tell Wang Xinlan, "Auntie, don't seek death, otherwise I won't be able to protect you."

Fortunately, the little jealous boy didn't come out, which made him relieved.

Not daring to talk about this matter with Wang Xinlan anymore, he hurriedly talked about tonight's channeling ceremony.

"We'll wait until tonight. Just keep your dagger with you. Remember the whole ceremony. The most important thing is don't look back, don't take off the black cloth, and don't answer any strange questions after you get to the floor that doesn't exist. sound."

The first failed confession interrupted Wang Xinlan's initial uneasiness. It was not until Li Gui's solemn instructions came that she adjusted her emotions.

Li Gui repeated the content of one side of the ceremony to Wang Xinlan. When the former tied up the black cloth and walked to the steps on the other side, he looked at the time 23.30 on his hand and said slowly: "Let's get started."

As the last three words of Li Gui fell to the ground, Wang Xinlan exhaled, grabbed the handrail on the side of the corridor, and took the first step.

Blindfolded, darkness enveloped everything. With the disappointment caused after the confession, Wang Xinlan walked through the dozen steps in front without any distractions and came to the corner of the stairs on the 12th floor.

Holding on to the slightly damp and rotten handrail, she turned back to God King Xinlan and focused on the current matter again.

She adjusted her mood again and walked upwards. Gradually she felt as if she was in a very weak night breeze.

This feeling came from her back very lightly, as if it was pushing her towards another world.

The boundaries between life and death gradually blur, and as you move forward step by step, another layer of the world is gradually opened.

Wang Xinlan now somewhat understood why she had to be blindfolded during this soul-calling ceremony, because the person she wanted to meet should not have a real reality.

What she was about to walk into was another world that was not mentioned and that everyone flocked to.

Counting the steps in her mind, Wang Xinlan quickly reached the twelfth floor and stopped while holding on to the wall.

Under his fingertips were rough sawdust from the peeling paint of the stair handrail, and a faint musty smell lingered at the tip of his nose. The only silence in his ears was his own breathing and heartbeat, and his sight was completely deprived. The world at this time seemed a little different.

At this distance, Li Gui should be downstairs.

"Yumeng, are you in there?"

Following the steps Li Gui said, Wang Xinlan stood at the entrance of the corridor on the 12th floor, adjusted her mood, and called out her best friend's name in a gentle voice.

There were only echoes from deep in the corridor. Maybe it was because she was too nervous. Wang Xinlan vaguely felt that these echoes did not sound like her own voice, but more like someone else was imitating her voice.

"Yumeng, are you in there?"

Forcibly discarding the random thoughts in her heart, Wang Xinlan tried calling to both sides again, but there was no other sound in the silent corridor.

Really, can it succeed?

She couldn't tell how she was feeling. Wang Xinlan, who had finished everything according to the ritual, then walked upstairs. Thanks to Li Gui's training, although she was blindfolded, Wang Xinlan was not satisfied with the speed of going upstairs.

The thirteenth floor...the fourteenth floor...the fifteenth floor...

Every time she passed a floor, Wang Xinlan would stop and call her best friend's name. The distance between her and Li Gui was getting further and further away, and she didn't know if it was for psychological reasons. She felt that the echoes in the corridor were becoming less and less like her. .

Chapter 493: The sound of footsteps, the smell of blood, and the sound of singing

Sixteenth floor.

"Yumeng, are you in there?"

It was also silent this time. Just when Wang Xinlan thought that this floor would be the same as before and there would be no unusual noises, her third call was met with an unfamiliar response.

"What are you shouting at so late at night? Don't you want to sleep?"

The voice of a middle-aged man came from the depths of the corridor on the sixteenth floor.

Wang Xinlan's hand holding the dagger couldn't help but tighten it. How could anyone still live in a building that had been abandoned for several years and had no water or electricity?

The only one who can answer her in this situation is ghost!

"Who?"

"I don't know him. He yells from door to door at night, just like a psycho."

The other person who spoke was a woman. The voice coming from the darkness seemed to be a couple.

"Stay away from her. She's probably not in her right mind. Look behind her. There's a nanny following her. She must be taking care of her."

The content of the couple's discussion was nothing special. Wang Xinlan kept Li Gui's words in mind and did not respond. However, when she heard the woman's last sentence, a chill suddenly shot through her body.

His head almost turned behind him, but fortunately he stopped at the critical moment.

There is someone behind me, following me all the time. When?

This thought, like a poisonous snake dozens of meters long, began to spread into Wang Xinlan's mind. Her hand holding the armrest was sweating slightly, and her body showed signs of weakness. After a few seconds, she continued to walk upstairs.

Don't look back, don't open your eyes, don't make a sound.

Wang Xinlan kept repeating these three sentences in her heart and walked towards the seventeenth floor step by step.

Her heartbeat was beating fast, and with her concentration tense, she slowly discovered that there seemed to be someone really following her behind her.

Another person's footsteps would always appear a few fractions of a second after she landed, trying to cover up her whereabouts, with only a slight difference.

Behind me, there is another person!

boom!boom!boom!boom!
