Global recovery: A century of being stuck in the game

As cold as a piece of ice!

How could a normal person's body temperature be like this?

He is not human!!

Li Xia's heart almost jumped out of her throat.

It took almost all of his courage and reason to prevent him from screaming out.

Swallowing quietly, he pretended to be nonchalant and withdrew his hand, "Then let's go look somewhere else."

It wasn't that he didn't want to escape, it was just that the distance between them was too close and he had no chance to escape at all.

While Luo Rui hasn't noticed anything unusual about me, I'll find a way to escape later.

After getting the answer, Luo Rui's somewhat collapsed expression gradually improved: "Yes, keep looking, it must be on the 15th floor, you must believe me, you must believe me!"

Li Xia forced a smile: "I believe you, of course I believe you."

The brighter the smile on his face, the more bitter he feels in his heart.

Do not believe?

Does he dare to say he doesn't believe it?

He had no doubt at all that if he dared to say he didn't believe it, this guy would riot and kill him in the next second!

"Then you lead the way."

As he spoke, he stepped back and gave the way to Luo Rui.

Luo Rui nodded and quickly left the bathroom.

Judging from his state, he seemed to want to bring those who caused the trouble to justice, otherwise he would not be so anxious.

Tao Yao was still waiting outside the toilet. When she saw the two people come out, she showed no expression.

She didn't follow until the two of them walked to the front.

She didn't go in just now, but he knew clearly what happened inside.

Li Xia quietly slowed down his pace and approached Tao Yao, while secretly observing the anxious Luo Rui in front of him, and whispered: "That..."

Tao Yao: "What?"

Li Xia's words almost reached the point of being silent, as soft as a mosquito's chirp: "He is not a human, his hands are icy cold, you should be careful later, and stay away from him."

Tao Yao raised an eyebrow and looked at him: "Oh? Then how can you be sure that I am me?"

The corners of her mouth were slightly curved, with a hint of smile between her brows and slightly raised eyebrows. She was clearly smiling, but Li Xia seemed to see a hint of extreme coldness in her eyes, which made him more desperate than the moment he touched Luo Rui's hand just now.

Is it...

Li Xia was trembling all over: "You...you..."

The woman suddenly chuckled, with a hint of amusement in her eyes.

Li Xia's heart was lifted, but then slowly calmed down. He really couldn't understand Tao Yao's bad taste.

He was almost scared to death, okay?

"How about you leave secretly first? I'm here, so I should be able to delay some time."

He was also afraid, but he always remembered his identity and his responsibilities.

No matter what, nothing can happen to Taoyao.

Tao Yao: "It's okay, it's just a little ghost, don't worry, just follow it."

Li Xia: “…”

Imp?

Even if it's a little ghost, it's still a ghost!

He wanted to say something else, but Luo Rui, who had walked a long way ahead, suddenly turned around and looked at him: "Hey, what are you doing? We have to get there quickly, otherwise what if the person runs away?"

It sounded like an ordinary question, but to Li Xia it contained threats and coldness: "Okay, here I come!"

He couldn't provoke the other party, so he secretly glanced at Tao Yao beside him, and he felt a little more confident.

Miss Tao said it’s okay, so it must be okay, right?

He silently touched the gun at his waist and clenched it tightly without making a sound.

There was some distance from the toilet to the stairs. Li Xia actually wanted to find a way to escape after Luo Rui entered the stairs, but thinking of Tao Yao's words, he followed him anyway.

In this way, they searched the toilets on every floor repeatedly, but the final result was nothing. Luo Rui's explanation was always the same. He would definitely find those people on the next floor in the place where he remembered wrongly.

Li Xia looked at Luo Rui, who was becoming more and more collapsed and hideous each time. She suppressed the fear in her heart, smiled and motioned for him to lead the way.

Until I reached the eighteenth floor.

Luo Rui stopped as soon as he entered the corridor on the 18th floor. Li Xia found it a bit strange. It was the first time he saw him acting abnormally. He could not help but stop and took out his gun. As long as there was any unusual movement, he would shoot without hesitation.

Although he didn't know if it would be useful, it was his only weapon.

However, Tao Yao behind him continued to move forward as if no one was around. He was stunned for a moment and had to follow closely.

All this happened in a flash, just a few seconds.

As soon as they came behind Luo Rui, they saw a woman.

"Luo Rui? Aren't you dead?"

The woman was originally cautious, but when she saw Luo Rui, her eyes widened as if she was facing a great enemy, and she spoke in disbelief.

It is worth mentioning that she was wearing a police uniform just like Luo Rui.

Luo Rui's face was filled with panic: "What nonsense are you talking about! It was obviously you who died! I saw your body on the 13th floor..."

After saying that, he became guilty again: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry... It's all my fault for not protecting you. Don't worry, I will definitely avenge you..."

The woman's expression was very grim: "I didn't expect that you would become like this after death!"

Then he ignored Luo Rui and shouted at Li Xia and the others, "Come here quickly, both of you! He's dead, he's a ghost! He'll kill you!"

Li Xia felt a little numb.

How do you think people can believe what you said?

He is a ghost and you stay here and confront him instead of running away. Do you think I am a fool?

Neither of these two people is a living person!

Realizing this, he really didn't know what to do.

There's no way to run away.

This is still the eighteenth floor.

And there are more than just these two people who died here. Counting the first unknown ghost and the five ordinary people who died before, there are a total of eight people here...

When this thought came to mind, even Li Xia couldn't help but tremble.

Luo Rui stood in front of Li Xia and looked back at him: "Don't listen to her! She is already dead. She wanted to trick you and then kill you!"

Li Xia was about to speak when Tao Yao stepped forward and said, "Okay, I'll tell you a secret."

"What secret?" the woman and Luo Rui asked almost in unison.

Tao Yao half leaned against the wall, folded her arms in front of her, and smiled faintly: "That means you two are dead."

Although Li Xia guessed this, he still felt a little sad when Tao Yao really said it.

Luo Rui and the woman were both stunned, as if they were somewhat puzzled.

Tao Yao ignored their doubts and pointed at the woman: "You may not have died on the thirteenth floor, but you died from excessive blood loss."

Then he looked at Luo Rui: "As for you... you should have died on the 18th floor. Go to the bathroom and check. Maybe the truth will come out."

Her words were like a heavy hammer, hitting the two of them hard in the heart.

Both of them were confused, and seemed to be lost in memories. Naturally, the woman had the most intense reaction.

She covered her forehead tightly and groaned in pain.

"How could this happen...I'm already dead...I'm dead?"

At this point, all her memories were restored, but she found it difficult to accept such a result.

Her name is Qiu Yan, and she is a colleague of Luo Rui.

Calculating the time, it should have been 24 hours ago when I followed orders to come here to investigate the situation.

Sunshine Building evacuated everyone immediately and then blocked off the area from a distance, not allowing anyone to enter. Only investigators were allowed to come in.

When they first came in, they found nothing, and because the place was so big, they had to act separately.

But gradually, she discovered that there were people here.

She was very shocked when she realized this.

But because she didn't know the situation, she quietly followed those people. But later she was discovered, and her hands and feet were chopped off, and her heart was dug out. She even saw with her own eyes how she died powerlessly.

Later she woke up again, and knew nothing about what happened before her death. She only knew that she was ordered to come here to investigate.

Then she found Luo Rui's body.

That was why, when she saw Luo Rui, she pointed at him and said he was dead.

But she didn't expect that she herself was already dead...

Luo Rui also recalled what happened. The only difference between him and the woman was that he died later.

After the two realized their current situation, their bodies also changed. They were no longer solid, but translucent. Not only that, they were covered in blood, their hands and feet were obviously twisted, and there was a bloody hole in their hearts that was still bleeding, and it was empty inside.

Seeing the two of them suddenly look like this, Li Xia quickly stood in front of Tao Yao.

Although Taoyao did not need his protection, his attitude from beginning to end also represented the attitude of the Special Bureau towards her, which still made Taoyao quite satisfied.

However, the two men had no intention of attacking Li Xia and the others.

They looked at Li Xia and spoke almost at the same time: "I'm sorry, we failed to complete the task. Now I'll leave this place to you."

As they spoke, the two raised their hands at the same time and pulled hard towards the void. Li Xia seemed to hear the sound of something being torn apart. "Quick! Get out of here! Our strength can only last for half an hour!"

Li Xia was a little confused by their nonsensical words, but she still knew that these two people did not forget to help them even after their death.

Unfortunately, before he could be moved, Tao Yao waved in the direction of Luo Rui and the other two.

Li Xia didn't see anything, but heard a "puff" sound, and Luo Rui and the others fell to the ground at the same time, their faces became distorted.

"Miss Tao, what are you doing..."

Aren't they helping them?

Tao Yao took two steps forward and said, "Do you know what nonsense is?"

Li Xia's face turned pale.

"You can't trust the words of ghosts, no matter if they were good people before they died. Ghosts are used to deceiving humans with lies. This is their nature. If I wasn't here, you would be fooled by them and lose your life."

Before Li Xia could say anything, Luo Rui couldn't help but said, "You're talking nonsense! We really want to help you!"

Looking at that disappointed and painful expression, and that aggrieved and sad tone, it really sounds like that.

It’s a pity that Taoyao has seen too many ghosts and doesn’t care about what this guy said.

Seeing Tao Yao getting closer, Luo Rui and the woman wanted to move, but found that they were trapped in the spot and could not move at all!

They were so anxious that their eyes turned red. They shouted at Li Xia behind Tao Yao: "What are you still standing there for? Stop her now!"

"We are already dead. If we die again, we will disappear completely!"

"I've been injured countless times while saving people, how could I possibly hurt someone? She's lying to you, don't believe her..."

Li Xia was still confused and a little entangled. The next second, she heard Tao Yao say, "Cover your ears and don't listen to their nonsense."

Li Xia came back to her senses immediately and covered her ears obediently.

At the same time, Tao Yao had also come to Luo Rui, and she gently touched Luo Rui's head with her finger.

Luo Rui opened his eyes filled with hatred and fell to the ground in an instant.

Tao Yao did the same thing to the woman.

Li Xia was standing not far away, and watched Luo Rui and the others faint, then turn into a puff of green smoke and disappear completely.

The scene before him had a huge impact on him.

He never imagined that Miss Tao was so powerful that she could even turn ghosts into ashes in the blink of an eye!

It's like a dream.

"They..." He pursed his lips and moved closer.

"died."

Tao Yao clapped her hands expressionlessly.

"Does a person's personality really change drastically after death?" Li Xia felt a little sad.

Just as Luo Rui said, they had suffered many injuries while saving people, and this time they even sacrificed their lives.

Even after death...

Tao Yao didn't look at him and pushed open a door. "Of course, after death they will be affected by the Yin energy. The darkest thoughts in their hearts will fill their hearts and turn them into evil ghosts that can only kill people. Especially their ghost talk will affect you silently. Some powerful ghosts will make people believe them even if what they say is nonsense and has no logic at all."

"So, if you encounter a ghost, run away immediately and don't listen to what they say."

What she didn't say was that there are exceptions, and there are ghosts who are upright during their lifetime and will not hurt anyone after death, but will continue to do good deeds.

But they will still be affected by the negative energy, and over time they will become evil ghosts who kill people without blinking an eye. There are very few exceptions.

Don't risk your life just because there might be some good ghosts out there.

So she simply didn't say anything.

Li Xia nodded, indicating that she understood: "Then why don't they know they are dead?"

Tao Yao had just come out of an office. "This is normal. Death is too sudden, so people don't realize they are dead. And the pain is too great, so there is a certain chance that they will forget the memory of death. Of course, you know the situation here. Their forgetfulness is most likely intentional by the mastermind behind the scenes."

Just because Luo Rui and the other man died on someone else's territory, they couldn't be good ghosts.

After all, it is normal for a newly born ghost to be controlled by a being stronger than itself.

This is her personality. She would rather kill someone by mistake than let him go.
