Day of Imprisonment

Everyone was fleeing.

The scene instantly became chaotic.

Moreover, no one attempted to unite and fight against that vengeful ghost.

Firstly, the opponent displayed overwhelming power; almost no one noticed how the vengeful ghost moved or attacked before someone's head was severed.

The person who died was Zhang Lin, the one who questioned Hou Cheng.

He was a strong adult man, yet he had no ability to resist when he died.

On the other side of the gauze curtain, there were also corpses: two women and a monk.

All were missing their heads.

They should be the 'Madam' and 'Master' who had overheard the conversation earlier, along with a maidservant; all died tragically.

Beside the old monk's corpse, there were scattered Buddhist scriptures, and in his hand, he clutched a string of prayer beads.

Luo Xi acted quickly, immediately stepping forward to pick up the Buddhist scriptures, but as he prepared to take the prayer beads, he found that someone had beaten him to it; someone had taken the prayer beads from the headless monk's corpse before him.

Upon closer inspection, it was Chu Xu.

He also looked over, making eye contact with Luo Xi.

"This guy is indeed extraordinary," Luo Xi thought to himself. At this moment, the female ghost was still in the mourning hall, and escaping was the key. Although he didn't get the prayer beads, he at least obtained the Buddhist scriptures.

After this delay, there were only a few people left in the house. The darkness from the female ghost was engulfing the entire mourning hall as she approached, leaving only a few seconds to escape.

By the window, Mao Ge peeked his head out, waving at Luo Xi anxiously.

Luo Xi also quickened his pace, but just as he ran to the window, he suddenly turned his head to look at the coffin placed in the mourning hall.

That thing should be very dangerous.

After all, it was the female ghost's corpse.

"Hurry, the female ghost is coming!" Mao Ge was anxious. Not waiting for Luo Xi, he reached in and grabbed Luo Xi's collar, forcibly pulling him out.

Unexpectedly, Mao Ge's strength was so great.

Outside was a quaint courtyard, but at this moment, the original ten-member team had already scattered. On Mao Ge's side, there were only Wu Rui and Guo Zening, his own people.

After all, the others would certainly not risk death to wait outside the mourning hall.

Who knew if the female ghost would crawl out?

At this time, Mao Ge and the others didn't dare to linger here, pulling Luo Xi and running into the distance. As for where to run, it was all based on feeling. The sudden slaughter in the mourning hall had broken through most people's fear threshold.

In this situation, normal people would try to stay as far away from danger as possible.

Running past this small courtyard and through a small door in front, there were now forks in the road to the left and right. The right side was a quiet, dim corridor, with the corridor's architecture and dense bamboo forest blocking the moonlight, making it seem like an unsafe path.

The left side was relatively better, at least brighter. Mao Ge, pulling Luo Xi, went to the left, passing through a circular archway and arriving at a garden before stopping.

In reality, they hadn't run far, but everyone was panting heavily.

There was no way around it; they were too nervous. Fear and rising blood pressure would force the body into a high-consumption state, so rapid breathing was normal.

"That was close, Luo Xi. What were you looking at when you suddenly stopped just now?" Mao Ge asked.

He understood Luo Xi relatively well. At that time, Luo Xi must have seen something important.

"The coffin was a bit abnormal," Luo Xi didn't hide it.

There were no outsiders around now.

In the chaotic scene just now, Hou Cheng and his group chose another window to escape. Obviously, the paths on the left and right were different.

Judging from their performance, the so-called previous clearance experience could already be thrown into the trash can.

The 'Haunted House Escape' checkpoint scene, under the ten-person difficulty, had undergone a complete and high-quality overhaul. It wasn't even an upgrade, but a direct replacement of the scene configuration.

More quantity, same price, what a conscience!

It was just that this situation was indeed unexpected.

But as long as you thought about it carefully, you would know that it was reasonable.

Anyway, Luo Xi wasn't surprised. The reason he chose to cooperate with Hou Cheng and the others was just to gather enough ten people to open a high-difficulty checkpoint scene, precisely because he had foreseen it. That's why he didn't refute when Hou Cheng said he wanted the ownership of the numbered card reward.

Because there was no need.

If the scene underwent major changes, Hou Cheng's so-called experience would be garbage. At that time, it would depend on who was more capable and who could survive to clear the checkpoint.

"What's wrong with the coffin?" Wu Rui asked at this time.

She considered herself to be brave and had seen terrifying scenes, but to be honest, she was really afraid of the situation just now.

The female ghost appearing and killing people, that kind of atmosphere and cold, terrifying feeling, could pierce through the mask of anyone pretending to be calm and composed.

Not seeing that Hou Cheng, he was almost scared out of his wits, not even daring to pick up a shoe he had lost while running.

"There's blood in the coffin," Luo Xi said.

Wu Rui, Mao Ge, and Guo Zening thought about it.

"Blood, that's normal. The female ghost killed three people before, beheading three people. It would be abnormal if there wasn't blood."

"I mean, in the coffin, and that blood was dark and dull, the kind of blood only dead people have."

"Are you saying the blood is the female ghost's?"

"Yes!"

"Then, what's the problem with that?"

Luo Xi looked at Wu Rui at this time: "Have you forgotten what the monk said before?"

"He said, 'Your daughter, pregnant, threw herself into the well.' Strange? Since the female ghost died by throwing herself into the well, she should have drowned. How could there be blood?" Only then did Wu Rui and the others react.

Luo Xi had started observing his surroundings from the beginning.

His brow furrowed.

He looked at the sky.

Then he 'Heh'ed.

This time, the other three didn't ask, because they quickly realized why Luo Xi had that reaction.

"Crap!" Guo Zening shivered at this time. He seemed to have discovered an extremely strange and incomprehensible thing. He pointed to the sky: "Why is there a sky? That dark cloud cover, the occasional dim moonlight? But, but we're indoors, in a shopping mall. How can we see the sky?"

Obviously, Guo Zening had been overstimulated.

He fell into a state of fear and doubt, beginning to suspect, and if a person generates suspicion in extreme fear, it will lead to a special state, which is, being afraid of one's own shadow, suspecting everything, and ultimately, mental confusion, and then, going crazy.

Pa!

Luo Xi slapped him in the face.

Guo Zening came back to his senses, looking at Luo Xi, his expression seemed to be asking, 'Why did you hit me?'

"Don't forget, we are in the Day of Imprisonment. In this kind of place, everything cannot be viewed according to common sense. For example, you think you are indoors, in a shopping mall, but you find that entering a room leads to the wilderness. This is indeed very confusing, but we must not fall into it. We still have to correct our position and determine the goal, which is to clear the scene!"

Guo Zening understood, nodding his head.

"Also, don't be limited to individual issues. By the way, Mao Ge, you were the first to notice the danger just now, even earlier than me. What exactly did you discover?" Luo Xi asked curiously at this time.

Before, in the mourning hall, it was indeed Mao Ge who reacted first, pulling Luo Xi and calling Wu Rui and the others to run.

Obviously, Liu Mao must have noticed something, otherwise, he wouldn't have been so impulsive with his personality.

"Speaking of which, it's quite strange. I felt a very strange aura, very familiar, but also very dangerous, and I could feel the female ghost's position. At that time, she suddenly appeared behind us from the front, and then killed someone."

Mao Ge explained, but it could be seen that he himself was very strange.

However, Luo Xi knew a general possibility of this matter, which was Mao Ge's card talent [Resentful Air Soaring to the Sky]. He was originally a cleaner, and after obtaining the card ability, he had a perception of resentment far exceeding ordinary people.

Therefore, it was understandable that he had detected the female ghost's movements in advance.

"Then Mao Ge, can you sense the female ghost's position now?" Luo Xi asked.

Liu Mao said, "You guys wait, let me feel it."

Immediately, he closed his eyes, and everyone cooperated by being quiet, not moving.

Soon, Mao Ge's expression became solemn, his eyelids moved, he listened with his ear, and muttered, "Hey, that's strange. The female ghost's aura is clearly still in the mourning hall, but why is there another one here?"

After saying that, he turned his head, looking at a corner of the garden they were in.

There will be another chapter in a while!
