Hearing this sentence, Guo Guo's heartbeat stopped for a moment.
However, after she subconsciously held her breath and silenced, the expected fierce fighting sound did not appear.
Not knowing how far away, Tang Xinjue met the tall figure's eyes. The former still remained in a state of not moving, because she soon discovered that the chaotic eyes of the other party did not have any focal length.
It doesn't seem to see itself.
Logically speaking, this probability is very low—even if the opponent cannot see, the ghost will never miss the human breath.
Correspondingly, she also rarely felt the breath of this ghost.
So there's a good chance that... something's holding them back.
Tang Xinjue and Zheng Wanqing, who came down afterward, looked at each other, and they climbed back to the top of the well to observe the ghost's movements.
Even if their figures disappeared from the "front", the ghost stared straight at the head in front of it without any reaction. Instead, after a few seconds, its neck suddenly "clicked" and began to twist slowly.
After turning it 180 degrees, there was another face on the other side of the head!
If it wasn't for the dim yellow eyes finally starting to move, it would almost make people think that the twisting of the neck just now was an illusion. Because the front and back faces on the stiff neck are almost the same, even the dense wrinkles are exactly the same.
As Guo Guo described, these are one, no, two faces of an extremely aged old man. Such a head, however, grew on a two-meter-high muscular body, which seemed to be a defective product that had been spliced randomly.
The next moment, the eyes of the two fell on its arm at the same time.
What is even more weird than the head is that under the broad shoulders of this man, there are actually two thin and short white arms. The skin at the junction of the shoulders shrank inwards, embedding two obviously mismatched bones together, and there was a discreet rubbing sound when it moved slightly.
In Guo Guo's memory before losing his arms, the ghost had no hands.
—Then it is self-evident who the female arm on it comes from at this moment.
Across a transparent door, the ghost's eyes flicked around briefly, but still didn't notice anyone outside. The noisy arm quickly diverted its attention. It knocked angrily several times, and a series of inarticulate curses spit out from its mouth.
On the other side, Guo Guo seemed to sense something, and asked worriedly:
"Xin Jue Wan Qing, have you managed to avoid it, have my arms been eaten by them?"
"..."
Tang Xinjue and the others couldn't decide for a moment, which was easier for Guo Guo to accept, between having his arms like this and being eaten.
But before they were given time to organize their words, the ghost suddenly let out a low growl and strode away from the door.
Its figure disappeared at the end of a yellow corridor, and Tang Xinjue suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
Immediately afterwards, Guo Guo's consciousness in the spiritual link was suddenly disconnected again.
The two didn't hesitate anymore, and jumped straight to the glass door. When Tang Xinjue's spiritual power came into contact with it, he felt like water droplets flowing into the sea, and instantly sank without a trace.
"There is indeed a shielding effect here, but I don't know the specific scope."
Reminiscent of the abnormal state of ghosts and Guo Guo, Tang Xinjue lowered his brows slightly: "We may have to be prepared to lose all our abilities."
If she's right...
The glass door was quietly opened, and the two entered without any resistance, but the sudden change in perception caused them to pause at the same time—
"I can't feel anything anymore."
Zheng Wanqing raised her hand subconsciously, but the place that should have a metallic luster was empty.
She can no longer summon her own abilities, even the steel arm!
At the same time, there was only air left in the palm of Tang Xinjue's right hand, and the toilet was missing.
Subtle footsteps sounded in the distance, Tang Xinjue took a deep breath, pulled Wan Qing back and hid in the door of the nearest room.
The room was very small, and there were various human body casts piled up in a mess, and the vacant space could barely accommodate two people. They listened to the sound of footsteps approaching from far away and gradually leaving before continuing to talk.
"My abilities are gone." Tang Xinjue's voice was very soft and deep. "It's all abilities."
Toilet flushing, mental power, strengthened five-dimensional physique, space bag and props on the body...
What does it feel like to lose everything in an instant
Even though I had already made guesses and mental preparations, at the moment it really happened suddenly, the strong sense of weightlessness still gripped my heart tightly.
After going through dungeons one after another, upgrading and strengthening one after another, they have already adapted to the current "superman" body, adapted to the keen five senses and the ability to control the environment, and have the confidence to fight in the face of danger——
Instead of the body of the ordinary college student back then.
But the moment they stepped into the door, all the additional power evaporated out of thin air, leaving only a weak body.
This feeling is like working hard to train the tuba to level 70, but the system suddenly initializes with one button, and instantly returns to the whiteboard trumpet with nothing. Who can bear it
"It wants to go back to the source, why doesn't it give back my arm?"
Zheng Wanqing was speechless. The ability to co-author this house is to only take away the good ones, not the bad ones
In this house full of ghosts and ghosts, the physical pressure alone already makes people have to clench their teeth. The two can only adjust their status first, and then wait for the opportunity to act.
Tang Xinjue was quite optimistic: "The constraints in this space should be two-way. We are deprived of our abilities, and the ghosts will definitely be suppressed. There may not be no chance of winning."
In fact, after the initial gap, she quickly adapted to the current state. Even for her, this kind of stagnation and powerlessness like being immersed in cold water is actually "normal".
After all, in Nightmare, there are no upgrades and abilities at all.
After a while, Zheng Wanqing nodded after adjusting, and the two opened the door a little, but there was no sound from outside. But before they could go out, Tang Xinjue's phone screen lit up:
It's Guo Guo's call.
After closing the door, Guo Guo deliberately lowered his voice on the other side of the call:
"The ghost came again just now, do you know what it did, it actually..."
Guo Guo couldn't hide his anger: "It threw back its arm! It dislikes my arm!!"
She was already speechless enough to have her arm taken away, but the other party still disliked her? Could it be that the old head on its neck, which seemed to be dying at any moment, was healthier and more elegant than her arms
Tang Xinjue: "...you know what it's used for."
"Yes, because it only gave me back my arm."
Probably because it was inconvenient to not have an arm, so the ghost finally kept one for himself. And its disgusted and helpless expression at that time is still playing repeatedly in Guo Guo's mind.
But fortunately, the returned arm allowed her to use her mobile phone to talk to Tang Xinjue and the others when she lost her mental connection.
"I seem to be able to think of more now. There are more than one ghosts here. They all look strange, and each has different abilities. Some can create terrifying illusions, some can torture people, and some can disassemble Human bodies... By the way, they don't seem to like to move yet, and many of them are huddled in small rooms. When they get close, the mobile phone signal will disappear... "
Before the voice was finished, the call was cut off again. On the screen, the mobile phone signal display returned to zero.
Tang Xinjue and Zheng Wanqing quickly looked up at each other.
According to the prompt, this means that either the ghost went to Guo Guo again, or a ghost approached them.
There is no sound outside the door, but there is a peephole on the door.
Zheng Wanqing opened her mouth, "Want to see it?"
Tang Xinjue shook his head, put the phone camera on the cat's eye silently, and turned on the camera.
Normal mobile phones cannot focus in this situation, but the mobile phone modified by the game is obviously different:
In the picture displayed by the camera, a yellow eyeball that has been magnified several times is slowly turning towards the door.
There was no sound inside or outside the room.
Since both of them were close to the door, they couldn't be seen from the perspective of the eyeballs, so after a while, it slowly moved away from the cat's eye, and only then did there be movement outside.
It's just this voice... Tang Xinjue pointed to the top of his head.
It didn't sound like footsteps, but more like the friction sound of the body dragging and crawling on the wall.
They didn't contact Guo Guo again until the movement disappeared completely, "Do you remember your exact location?"
Judging from Guo Guo's few words and the fact that they encountered two ghosts within two minutes of entering, the concentration of ghosts in this building is very high. They must minimize detours and take people away safely as quickly as possible.
Fortunately, Guo Guo was brought down by the same path as them. She sketched out a route from her memory, and Tang Xinjue immediately outlined the destination in her mind.
"We're not far away," she concluded. "You're just around the corner at the end of this corridor."
After the corner, there should be two upward stairs.
Guo Guo immediately reminded: "You have to be careful. I remember the one that creates illusions, it seems to have entered the door opposite me!"
If Tang Xinjue opened the wrong door at that time, it meant that the two of them would have to face the ghost. This was what Guo Guo was most afraid of.
"Because..." Guo Guo paused for a moment, she seemed to want to say something, but she couldn't speak decisively, so she could only hurriedly order: "If you guys come over, just give me a call, and I will gently knock on the floor inside the door .The door you approached to hear the knocking sound is the room I am in."
Tang Xinjue heard her hesitate to speak, and guessed: "Is there something hidden about the phantom that affects you that we don't know?"
Guo Guo was startled: "You know?"
Faced with this answer, Tang Xinjue immediately caught the point: "It's about me, isn't it?"
Guo Guo: "..."
Tang Xinjue continued to ask calmly: "It's also related to your abnormal reaction when looking at those caves, right?"
Guo Guo: "..."
Zheng Wanqing was confused: "What are you talking about? What cave?"
"The caves we encountered when we were looking for the casino."
At that time, the four of them each judged one, only Guo Guo showed hesitation and panic when observing his cave, and he hesitated to give reasons. She didn't want to say it at the time, and Tang Xinjue just wrote it down and didn't get to the bottom of it.
But judging from Guo Guo's reaction now, the two are indeed related.
Otherwise, with Guo Guo's prudence and celestial eye ability, no matter how realistic the phantom appears in front of her, even if it's just a fight between three people, she won't be scared to cry, let alone rush into it recklessly.
Tang Xinjue's voice was not in a hurry, but he was calm and determined: "Guoguo, if you are worried that telling me will affect me, then I hope you can believe me."
Guo Guo sighed: "I will always believe in you."
She has 100% trust in her roommates, but not in herself, and that's why she's worried it might backfire.
"Then trust me a little more, this time. Okay?"
Here, every piece of information is extremely important. Even if it is a double-edged sword, she must master it.
Guo Guo was silent for a few seconds, then took a deep breath: "Okay, Xin Jue, I'll tell you... But Wan Qing can't listen."
Zheng Wanqing who just pricked up her ears: "???"
Five seconds later, Zheng Wanqing left the door angrily, and Tang Xinjue was the only one left in the room.
"It's just me now, tell me."
In the still air, Guo Guo said:
"... I see that you will attack us."
Guo Guo's voice was difficult: "But my perception tells me that it's not an illusion, my heart formula."
"That's a death prophecy."
