The cold wind blew on Tang Ning's face. Tang Ning suddenly opened his eyes and found himself standing by the window. The window had been pushed open at some point. One of his hands stretched out of the window, holding a blood-stained hemp rope.
Wait, when did he extend his hand?!
Tang Ning suddenly withdrew his hand as if he was burned by fire, and his whole body was swept by an inexplicable chill.
The night breeze blew in again. Tang Ning's head was covered with cold sweat. He stood in front of the wide-open window, panting violently. He covered his rapidly beating chest and looked around, but he saw nothing. There was no old woman singing opera, no brazier burning paper money.
What happened? Was everything just an illusion?!
No, this hemp rope is real!
Tang Ning grabbed the hemp rope in his hand with trembling hands. The rough touch reminded him that everything that happened just now was not an illusion.
Tang Ning stared at the hemp rope in his hand. This hemp rope was very similar to the one tied around Uncle Wang's feet, but the location of the blood stain was slightly different.
Tang Ning took out her phone again and saw that it had a signal. However, when she opened the group chat, she did not see the message from Lin Yun, "Here's the hemp rope, Ning, remember to burn paper for me." Instead, she was stuck on the message they exchanged at noon.
There was something that used some special means to deliver the hemp rope to his hands. Everything that just happened should be an illusion created by that thing.
No wonder the phone that had no signal suddenly regained signal. Normally, if the ghost has not really left, the signal will not be restored. But in the illusion just now, the ghost was still in the mourning hall, but he could communicate with the players in the mourning hall through his phone.
Thinking carefully, there were loopholes everywhere. It was just that Tang Ning was so frightened just now that he had no way to think calmly. Now that he thought about it, the situation should be the same as the ghost deceiving people he encountered in the first copy. The ghost could make up some illusions through his memory, but the old woman didn't seem to have the intention to harm him.
Tangning was suddenly filled with the joy of surviving a disaster. He used his weak hands to type on his phone, "Did you encounter any unusual situations during the vigil?"
Lin Yun: "No, how are you doing?"
Tang Ning bit his tongue and it hurt. This shouldn't be an illusion. He quickly told the group what happened.
Lin Yun: "The hemp rope given by the ghost lady you mentioned should be an important prop to restrain Uncle Wang! Wait, I'll be here soon!"
Han Ankang: "Great! With this hemp rope, our funeral tomorrow will be safer. But since that ghost woman told you, 'I'll give you the hemp rope, remember to burn paper for me,' you'd better do what she says now."
Lin Guijing: "We have paper money here, the key is how to burn it for that ghost woman"
Everyone in the group discussed it enthusiastically. This newly appeared hemp rope was a timely help to everyone. Tang Ning had managed to tie up Uncle Wang's feet once before, but the next time he saw Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang managed to break free from the hemp rope. At that time, some players discussed privately and believed that the idea that the hemp rope could restrain Uncle Wang was correct, but there must be something missing that allowed Uncle Wang to break free by himself.
Now that a new hemp rope has appeared, everyone is speculating that if they can use a second hemp rope to tie it up again, that might be the real way to restrict Uncle Wang.
“Knock, knock.”
There was a knock on the door. Tang Ning put down her phone and went to open the door. A gust of evening breeze blew in, bringing a little chill. Lin Yun, who hurried over, looked a little pale. He couldn't wait to extend his hand as soon as he appeared in front of Tang Ning's door.
"You're here so quickly." Tangning picked up the hemp rope in her hand and said, "Let's go burn paper money together later. Do you know how I can burn it for that old woman?"
Pale hands grasped the twine.
Tang Ning was stunned for a moment, suspecting that he was seeing things, because two hemp ropes appeared in his field of vision, one on his and Lin Yun's hands, and the other on Lin Yun's feet!
"Tangning!!!" Lin Yun's anxious voice rang out. Tangning suddenly raised his head and saw another Lin Yun running towards him. The person standing in front of him was...
It’s Uncle Wang who is tied with a hemp rope!!!
Oops!
Tang Ning suddenly grabbed one end of the hemp rope, and Uncle Wang's hand also tightly grasped the hemp rope. A huge force burst out from the other end of the hemp rope, and the rough rope cut Tang Ning's palm. Tang Ning used all his strength but could not stop the hemp rope from slipping away in his hand.
At the moment when the rope was about to disappear from his hand, Tang Ning's other hand holding the bloody handkerchief also touched the hemp rope. The bloody handkerchief touched Uncle Wang's hand, and the clamp-like hand suddenly loosened. Tang Ning, holding the hemp rope, fell to the ground with a bang due to inertia. The bloody handkerchief broke into two pieces for some reason, as if the collision with Uncle Wang just now consumed its strength.
This is a one-time prop!
Tang Ning fell to the ground holding the hemp rope, looking at Uncle Wang who was walking towards him step by step. This time he did not hesitate at all, and tried his best to tie the hemp rope around Uncle Wang's legs!
However, just as the hemp rope was about to touch Uncle Wang's ankle, Uncle Wang suddenly took a step to the side, avoiding Tang Ning's hand holding the hemp rope.
This time, not only was Tangning prepared! Uncle Wang would not be easily tied up by Tangning like before!
Tang Ning was nervously gripping the hemp rope in his hand. Before he could think of what to do, he saw Uncle Wang, who was originally standing, suddenly change his posture and his whole body suddenly fell to the ground like Tang Ning!
What was even more terrifying was that it was crawling on the ground with its hands and feet, its head and hands moving towards Tang Ning first! Its feet, which could be tied, were more than a meter away from Tang Ning!
Swish, swish, swish!
There was a creepy friction sound coming from the ground.
Tang Ning's scalp exploded and he quickly retreated backwards. Seeing that Uncle Wang was about to crawl in front of him, Lin Yun, who was standing behind Uncle Wang, squatted down and quickly tied the hemp rope on Uncle Wang's feet again!
Uncle Wang paused in his forward movement, and turned his head with a clattering sound. His entire head rotated 180 degrees, and he looked at Lin Yun behind him strangely.
Tang Ning took this opportunity to stand up quickly and looked at Lin Yun. He saw Lin Yun skillfully take out a talisman from his pocket.
For a moment, Tang Ning even thought about giving up the game and just destroying it.
Then he saw—
Lin Yun, holding the talisman, suddenly stepped over Uncle Wang who was lying on the ground and placed the light talisman on Tang Ning's forehead.
"Don't move." Tang Ning heard Lin Yun's calm instructions.
His black eyes were wide open at this moment. Lin Yun in front of him was still so calm, his voice was calm, his expression was calm, and he calmly made a crazy move that was completely different from his previous behavior.
When the talisman was attached to Tang Ning's forehead, Uncle Wang on the ground seemed to lose his direction all of a sudden. He opened his mouth in anger, and his seemingly normal face suddenly turned pale. His eyeballs widened and his long tongue fell out of his mouth. These were the facial features of a hanged ghost!
A howl that was not human-like came out of its wide-open mouth.
Lin Yun ran outside without hesitation. Tang Ning stared at Lin Yun's back. This was the first time he wished Lin Yun could run faster, faster!
Uncle Wang stood up straight from the ground. His feet were bound, so he could only move by bouncing. His cloudy eyes looked at Lin Yun's departing back. Uncle Wang did not chase after him immediately, but jumped around in the house in despair, as if trying to find Tang Ning who suddenly disappeared from his perception range.
Tang Ning then realized that he was the player that Uncle Wang wanted to kill the most. Now that he had obtained the important item, the hemp rope, his priority in Uncle Wang's mind increased infinitely. What he should worry about was not Lin Yun, but himself!
“Boom!”
Both feet tied with hemp rope fell to the ground, and Uncle Wang took a small step forward.
Due to the height of the room, Uncle Wang's jumps were not big, but the room was too small, so small that if Uncle Wang jumped randomly, he might bump into Tang Ning!
Tangning's eyes widened and felt sore, but he didn't dare to relax. He remembered that every time Lin Yun put this talisman, his facial expression remained unchanged. At first, he thought it was the talisman's own effect, but he didn't expect that the person who was put on it had to manage his expression himself.
Unfortunately, Tangning's facial expressions have always been poor.
Especially when he saw Uncle Wang take another step towards him!
After this jump, the distance between them was shortened to an extremely short distance, so close that their noses were almost touching each other. Tang Ning held his breath completely. He could see his own terrified face in Uncle Wang's cloudy eyes.
If Tang Ning had not experienced many terrifying things after entering this game, he would probably scream right now.
Please don't ever jump over here again!!!
At this moment, Tang Ning prayed to everyone from Buddha to Christ, and every cell in his body was screaming. Perhaps his prayers worked, and the stiff Uncle Wang started to jump in another direction.
Boom.
It jumped behind Tang Ning.
Tangning's heart seemed to tremble violently for a moment, and then the beating sound stopped.
That thing stood motionless behind Tang Ning.
Tang Ning then realized that the most terrifying thing was not facing this thing face to face, but knowing that it was standing behind you, but not being able to see what it was going to do!
A chill breath blew towards Tang Ning's neck, like a gust of cold wind, but there was no window behind him, so where did the wind come from
Tang Ning's mind couldn't help but imagine a mouth that couldn't close and kept blowing air at him.
The sensitive back of his neck began to tremble, and Tang Ning's shoulders seemed to start shaking, but seemed to be restrained by his strong will.
Stop blowing!
Tang Ning clenched his teeth, cold sweat dripped from his forehead, slid across his eyebrows, piled on his thick eyelashes, and then slowly dripped into his eyes.
Sweat forced tears into his eyes, but Tang Ning didn't even dare to blink.
A cold hand landed on Tangning's waist. It was as cold as ice. Tangning was struggling to hold on. When her lower back was touched, her extremely tense body collapsed.
Finished.
Tang Ning fell into a cold embrace. Under the dim light, "Ji Lianyun", who had opened his eyes at some point, smiled and hugged him from behind.
"How come the lady is so weak that she fell down after just one breath?" Tang Ning heard a hint of teasing in the man's smiling tone.
