It seems so.
Before this, Yuan Yuxue was always the first to arrive at the guest room and the one who attacked the ghosts most efficiently.
The uncle had already assessed Yuan Yuxue's fighting ability, and he was not someone who could be easily dealt with.
It's just that Yuan Yuxue's appearance is too deceptive, always making people feel that he needs protection... Unfortunately, the uncle is often the one responsible for protecting people, and when it comes to his responsibilities, he will subconsciously take everyone within the scope into consideration. In this operation, Yuan Yuxue is the companion who needs to be protected.
Of course, he is protected now.
The contrast brought about by this made the uncle a little dazed... and perhaps he had some complicated feelings.
Yuan Yuxue did not move for a long time because of the uncle's hesitation. She turned back and looked at him again, as if with a slight doubt: "?"
The uncle reacted, as if he understood what Yuan Yuxue wanted to ask, and replied, "I'm fine."
"Yeah." Yuan Yuxue nodded and continued to move forward. He went down the stairs very quickly. When he reached the fifth floor, he killed a ghost hanging upside down from the top of the stairs. He took a few steps, then turned sideways and tilted his head to look at him.
Uncle: “…”
His mood became even more complicated, but he still followed Yuan Yuxue obediently.
This journey was as dangerous as the uncle had imagined - from the sixth floor to the first floor, they did encounter countless ghosts, after all, this was the number of monsters on several floors. Even if they were brave before, they still only moved in the corridors on the same floor.
But in fact, it was much easier than the uncle expected... After all, Yuan Yuxue was walking in front, using his strange cold weapon that looked ordinary except for the shiny new blade. He could kill any ghost he saw.
Along the way, my pace was not delayed at all.
The uncle even felt that it might be just a little slower than taking a normal elevator.
Yuan Yuxue was very silent along the way, concentrating on his mission and clearing out the abnormal energy bodies that blocked his way.
Soon, even those ghosts that were ready to move were attracted by the scent of human flesh and blood and no longer dared to come forward.
They were the ones who had some sense, and they knew very well that the human holding the knife was very dangerous.
If you pounce on it, you will die.
This concept filled their turbid minds, and in the end they could only regretfully relocate back to various corners, ceilings, or picture frames in the corridors, staring at them with a pair of white "eyes", but they dared not stick their heads out, for fear of being killed by the walking humanoid weapon.
In this way, the further down the floors they went, the easier it was for Yuan Yuxue and the others to walk, and the faster they went.
When we arrived at the lobby on the first floor, everything was quiet.
The uncle's breathing and footsteps could not help but become lighter.
Hopefully you don’t run into a receptionist or manager who’s “off duty”, otherwise their purpose might become very difficult to accomplish.
Compared to other floors, which all have dim and hazy lights - although there is a haunted atmosphere and the lights are constantly flickering, they are still weak light sources after all - on the first floor, there is complete silence, and the darkness is as thick as a piece of black cloth covering the eyes.
