System [I am in a horror dungeon]

"Chu Lingxian, Lu Nanyin, did you guys pretend to be like this?"

Looking at the photo frame in Li Jinjia's hand, they both shook their heads and said they didn't know. They had never seen such a photo frame when they were cleaning up.

Chu Lingxian walked over, took the photo frame from her hand, and looked at it over and over again, only to see a string of numbers in the lower left corner behind the photo frame.

2015.8.28

"This is a date, right?" Li Jinjia said as he took out his phone to check the calendar. This day was the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month - the Ghost Festival.

"Zhongyuan Festival, isn't that the Ghost Festival? Is there a ghost living in that house?"

The more Lu Nanyin talked, the more scared Li Jinjia became. Who would want to live with a ghost, especially an active one? If the ghost just stayed quiet, she wouldn't be so scared.

Li Jinjia said tremblingly: "Then this ghost died on this day?"

"That's not clear yet. We have to go again."

Li Jinjia was about to collapse. Why did he have to go again?

"So are you going to come with us, or stay alone in this big empty house? What if the ghost follows you?"

Chu Lingxian's words made Li Jinjia feel cold on the back. He looked around and finally decided to go with the two of them.

The three of them first found a restaurant, had something to eat, and then continued on their way to the haunted house.

On the way, Li Jinjia kept praying, "Please, please don't show up in front of me. It wasn't me who hurt you. Go find the person who hurt you. Please, don't scare me! Don't scare me."

He kept muttering this all the way, and when he came downstairs again, Li Jinjia's legs began to go weak. What should he do? He didn't want to go in, but it seemed even more terrifying to stay here.

"Lu Nanyin, aren't you afraid? You were like this when I first met you, hiding behind her, too scared to look up."

Lu Nanyin glanced at Chu Lingxian who was walking in front of her and said, "As the saying goes, 'A man is known only by his company.' I have grown up now and I am not afraid anymore."

Just as they were talking, there was a sound from the window in the corridor and a cold wind blew. The two of them dared not move for a moment.

Li Jinjia looked at Lu Nanyin with a smile in his eyes, "I have grown up. I am not afraid anymore. Really not afraid anymore?"

Lu Nanyin stepped forward and grabbed Chu Lingxian's arm, looking at Li Jinjia, "What's the matter? As long as she's not afraid, that's fine."

Li Jinjia stopped smiling instantly. What is there to brag about? If you have the ability... don't be afraid, hum!

"Chu Lingxian, I remember her home is on the fourth floor. Does it take so long to walk there?"

Chu Lingxian took the flashlight, looked around, and frowned, "Strange, what I just saw seemed to be on the third floor, how come the floor above is also the third floor."

"Ghost hits the wall?"

Li Jinjia looked around, trembling as he put his hands together and kept saying, "Don't come over here, don't come over here, it's not me, it's not me."

Lu Nanyin gave an accurate comment: "I feel like you are a little guilty about this."

Li Jinjia closed her mouth and her eyes. As long as she couldn't see, she wasn't afraid.

But when she closed her eyes, she couldn't see the road ahead, and when she was being pulled by Lu Nanyin, she almost tripped over the stairs.

I staggered a bit and grabbed the railing. Fortunately, I was fine.

But the railing felt sticky. When I took my hand down, blood was still dripping from my hand. The railing I had just grabbed was also covered in blood.

Li Jinjia was about to faint again, but Lu Nanyin stopped him in time and pinched his Ren Zhong point, which helped him regain some of his spirit.

When I looked at my hands again, there was nothing there.

"What did you see? Why are you dizzy again?"

Li Jinjia said weakly, "I... I saw... blood... a lot of blood."

"Blood, where is the blood?"

"It was on the railing just now, and on my hand, it was all covered in blood, but in the blink of an eye... it was gone."

Lu Nanyin was a little frightened by what she said, and she hugged Chu Lingxian's arm tightly and held her hand.

Chu Lingxian comforted her: "What she said may be an illusion, or it may be something that happened before, leaving a lot of blood here."

"With such a large dose of blood, I'm afraid more than one person was killed."

"Ah! There's more than one person. Could they be a family? This is too tragic."

As soon as Li Jinjia finished speaking, a gust of wind blew from somewhere, making a whistling sound mixed with some screams.

Li Jinjia shut up instantly and quietly hid behind Chu Lingxian, narrowing his eyes into slits so that he would not miss anything and would not see too many scary things.

Finally, after going up one floor, I arrived at the fourth floor.

"Why is this floor so cold? It's the middle of summer."

Li Jinjia also agreed: "Indeed, why didn't I feel that before?"

Chu Lingxian took off his coat and put it on Lu Nanyin, which made Li Jinjia speechless. What's the matter? Are you praising you for having a partner?

"are not you cold?"

Chu Lingxian shook her head. On the contrary, this temperature was just right for her.

Seeing that Li Jinjia was really scared, Chu Lingxian stuffed a small cloth bag into her hand.

"What is this?" Li Jinjia was curious and was about to open it.

"There's a lucky charm inside. It's useless once you open it."

Li Jinjia stopped moving her hands instantly, and she hung the small cloth bag around her neck properly, holding it tightly in her hands, and thanked Chu Lingxian.

I originally wanted to ask Lu Nanyin if she also had one, but the next second, Chu Linxian held Lu Nanyin in his arms and walked forward with a flashlight.

Li Jinjia didn't dare to say anything. He followed her silently, looking left and right like a thief.

Chu Lingxian stopped and shone the flashlight at the bedroom window. Li Jinjia was still looking around and bumped into Chu Lingxian's back. Just as he was about to ask why he didn't leave, he saw the shadow by the window was startled and fell down, and the curtains were blown up by the wind.

The faint moonlight shone into the room, and none of the three people spoke.

Chu Lingxian raised the flashlight again and looked around the room. The human figure that was previously drawn in the corner of the wall had disappeared, and it seemed to match the person they had seen falling just now.

"Did that guy just fall out of the window?"

"That's no longer a human being. It's a ghost in the world of the living. Judging from the situation, it should be a ground-bound spirit trapped here."

Speaking of earthbound ghosts, Lu Nanyin thought of Zhang Jiejun, who was also an earthbound ghost. Before they discovered her, she had been jumping off the building in the school's laboratory building every day.

"Did this person jump to his death?"

"Now we only know that he must have fallen from here, but it is not clear whether he was pushed down or jumped down on his own initiative. Or maybe he was lured by an illusion and jumped down."

"That makes sense, but he doesn't seem to be a repeat. We haven't seen each other in such a long time."

Li Jinjia watched the two of them start discussing one by one, and suddenly he was no longer afraid. What was going on?
