The smell of burning meat wafting in from outside the door became stronger and stronger.

Even through the anti-gas and anti-smoke mask, Jiang Lai could still smell a little.

She thought, if she hadn't reacted quickly and put on the mask in time, she would probably have vomited by now.

Those "kind-hearted" neighbors outside were still banging on the door.

"Oh, the person inside must have been fainted by the thick smoke. We can't go on like this! We must act quickly and rescue her." A man said.

"If that doesn't work, we can just break down the door. We're all here to save people anyway."

"Right, right, right. Let's just break down the door. We're doing this to save people. I'm sure that after we rescue the owner of the house, he won't blame us for breaking down their door."

Jiang Lai, who was hiding in the house: ...

I really can't tell.

You are a bunch of charred corpses, yet you are quite good at finding excuses for yourselves.

After the charred corpses found a legitimate reason for themselves, they immediately took corresponding actions.

Several charred corpses slammed against the door with great force.

Jiang Lai noticed that the door was soon shaking and seemed like it would break in the next second.

Not only that.

The wooden door was directly ignited by the flames burning on the charred corpses, emitting puffs of white smoke and a smell of burning old wood.

The wooden door, which was not very strong to begin with, creaked continuously under the repeated impacts of the charred corpses. It lasted for less than a minute before it finally couldn't bear the weight and was knocked open by the charred corpses with a bang.

An even stronger burnt smell, along with the billowing smoke emanating from the charred corpses, immediately spread towards Jiang Lai.

What surprised Jiang Lai was that when the door was closed, she could clearly smell the burnt smell coming from the guys surrounding the door, as well as the hot breath coming from the charred corpses.

However, the moment the door was opened, all the strange visions disappeared!

Standing in front of her were only "kind" neighbors who looked normal but had anxious expressions.

An uncle said to Jiang Lai anxiously, "There's a fire outside. Luckily you woke up. Come with us and run away! Otherwise, it will be too late when the fire comes!"

"Ah, did you come here specially to save me? Thank you so much!" Jiang Lai said with a touched look on his face.

"Girl, now is not the time to talk about this. Time waits for no one! Come with us quickly." An old man also said anxiously.

"Yeah, yeah." A guy next to him said, "Everyone has left, and you're the only one left!"

The only one missing is you.

This sentence reminded Jiang Lai of a classic horror story.

Someone was in a hurry to catch the elevator and found that it was full of people.

Just as he was about to step into the elevator, he suddenly saw the elevator manager giving him a weird smile.

"Please come up quickly! There's room for one more person! Everyone's already come up, we're just waiting for you!"

The man suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis and involuntarily withdrew the foot that was about to step onto the elevator.

The moment he withdrew his foot, the elevator manager smiled at him again.

"Aren't you coming up? What a pity. But it's okay, let's do it together next time."

then……

The man watched the elevator fall from a high floor with a loud noise.

All the passengers in the elevator, including the elevator manager, fell together into a pool of mixed meat.

Although they were two different scenes, Jiang Lai had a feeling in his heart.

Her experience at this moment was so similar to that of the man who was about to squeeze into the elevator.

In fact, her experience is even more bizarre and terrifying than the person in the story!

Jiang Lai stood there, listening to the charred corpses talking calmly, and soon discovered something was wrong.

After breaking down the door, the charred corpses did not rush in directly, but stood at the door looking at her.

them……

It’s not that they don’t want to come in, but they are restricted by certain rules.

Jiang Lai thought that perhaps the rules that could restrict those charred corpses and prevent them from breaking in were only temporary.

This copy couldn't allow her to stay in the house all the time and continue to stalemate with the charred corpses that were besieging the place.

There's no telling when the restrictions will expire.

And what she has to do now... is to strike first.

"I'm sorry. I can't go with you." Jiang Lai suddenly raised his head, looked at the charred corpses surrounding the door, and spoke.

Faced with the endless siege of enthusiastic neighbors, she was not panicked at all, and even smiled at those kind-hearted people.

"You...why are you doing this? Don't you want to live?!" the young man who spoke just now said anxiously.

He said he totally couldn't understand Jiang Lai's choice.

"Girl, you are so young, don't be so pessimistic! Come with us quickly, the fire is about to burn over here!" The old man next to her also said hurriedly.

"Think about it carefully, have you really escaped?" Jiang Lai suddenly said: "I will not go with you. I can't go with you."

As she spoke, she took out an item from the props column and continued to say to the charred corpses: "What's going on with you? Don't you really know what's going on?"

The prop that Jiang Lai took out was a mirror.

[Mirror of Stars]: Description: S-level item.

The Star Mirror is a magical instrument made of rare fairy stones. The mirror is round, three feet in diameter, and is inlaid with seven bright star gems.

The entire magic weapon exudes a mysterious purple light. The mirror body is also engraved with intricate star patterns, and the power of the stars flows through it.

Function: With the help of the power of the stars, it can present the truest side of all things in the mirror.

In that sparkling mirror, the appearances of those "warm-hearted" neighbors who came to "rescue" Jiang Lai and "help" her escape from the fire had undergone earth-shaking changes one by one!

The neighbors who rushed towards the hut where Jiang Lai was instantly turned into charred corpses!

Those poor neighbors, who were once vibrant lives, have now turned into charred shells.

Although these nameless people died tragically in the flames, they gained new power in death because of their lingering roars and resentment.

Their eyes are as deep as ebony, but have lost the vitality of life.

Their eyes are no longer gentle, no longer concerned, but filled with bottomless resentment and anger. They are like vengeful spirits in the darkness, staring at this world that once brought them pain.
