Being held by Bai Yi's wrist, Cheng Zhichu desperately followed in his footsteps, plus Lu Wenjing who was also running away, the three of them kept running in the corridor on the second floor and shuttled between rooms, and finally got rid of them gradually. The many ghosts chasing after him.
They finally ran into a bedroom, when the last white shadow finally disappeared, Bai Yi gently closed the door, stood behind the door to listen for a moment, nodded slightly to Cheng Zhichu and Lu Wenjing, and said softly, "It's safe. "
"Huh..."
Cheng Zhichu, who was about to run out of physical strength, felt his legs go weak. He didn't care about being clean or not. He lay down on the dirty floor and gasped for breath. Want to get here.
Lu Wenjing's delicate face was also covered in sweat, and she sat on the ground panting. After a while, she bit her lower lip and said in a low voice, "... Wang Jianming didn't follow, and I don't know what happened to him. ."
Bai Yi and Cheng Zhichu didn't say anything, and Lu Wenjing also fell silent after speaking. If there is no particularly effective means of life-saving in a place like this, it is probably a bad luck, but there were too many ghosts just now. , they are inherently difficult to protect themselves, if they choose to save Wang Jianming, it is very likely that everyone will die there.
But I didn't hear him screaming, so I hope he's alright...
"I think those ghosts... I'm afraid it was the necklace that attracted them."
Cheng Zhichu recalled the weird emerald necklace, and still had lingering fears, he couldn't help but fight a cold war: "Maybe it has its own consciousness, it can appear unexpectedly, and even fell into my pocket. I'm very worried. ,just in case… "
He didn't say the second half of the sentence, but the meaning was obvious.
- What if it still follows them and falls on them at any time in the future
"We need to find a way to destroy it."
Bai Yi pondered for a moment and said, "The power of curses usually comes from resentment and fear. Maybe we need to find out what the source of its power is first, that is, to find out whose obsession is still not dissipated."
"I think there are three suspicious objects." Cheng Zhichu finally got the strength to sit up from the ground, patted the dirt on his body, and said dryly, "Scumbag Charlie, Little Three Mary..."
"And Mrs. Mei Jie?" Lu Wenjing asked anxiously.
"I don't think it's her." Cheng Zhichu shook his head, "because of the sentence engraved on the necklace, 'Our future child will be called Joshua'. When Ren Xue was controlled by the necklace, she repeatedly asked about 'Joshua'. What about Shuya's name? If it was Mrs. Meijie, she would definitely not care what the little three's children were called, and only Charlie, Mary and..."
"Joshua himself." Bai Yi calmly said.
"… right."
Cheng Zhichu covered his face. He recalled the chuckle when he touched the necklace. It seemed to belong to a man. If the malicious source of the necklace was the dungeon boss, then it should not be Mary, and the only thing left was...
man again...
"Next we have to look for the secret door on the second floor, enter the basement, and see what clues are there."
Bai Yi said this to Cheng Zhichu and Lu Wenjing, and the two agreed. After resting for a while, they made sure that there was no movement outside. They left the bedroom, flashed their flashlights, illuminated the corridor on the second floor, and carefully inspected the floor. Or is there anything unusual on the wall.
The terrain of the mansion is complex, and the corridors are like a labyrinth of twists and turns, but fortunately, Lu Wenjing has the skills to recognize the terrain, at least to ensure that they will not get lost.
In addition to the naked eye recognition, Cheng Zhichu will activate the skills of clues every ten minutes to confirm again whether there are secret doors in the route they pass through, but after several times, they have not gained anything. Instead, they have encountered wandering ghosts a few times, although those They were basically lonely ghosts, but since they didn't dare to make too much noise, the three of them could only avoid them instead of destroying them.
Why haven't I found it yet...
Cheng Zhichu was sweating anxiously. The longer the time dragged on, the more uneasy he became, because he found that the interval between encountering ghosts was gradually shortening, and the necklace was like a time bomb, maybe it would pop up again. If it calls those ghosts again...
"Wait a minute, it seems like... something is wrong here."
Lu Wenjing, who was groping on the floor, let out a soft cry, pressed his palm lightly on a floor, and said nervously, "Come and see, can you open it here?"
"Where?"
Cheng Zhichu, who was closer to her, lit up, and immediately leaned over. His skill had a cooldown of three minutes and could not be activated for the time being, so he planned to check with his own eyes first.
"right here."
Lu Wenjing stood up and pointed to a floor. When Cheng Zhichu came over, she suddenly raised her head and smiled at him.
This is the first time Cheng Zhichu has seen Lu Wenjing laughing. After this timid and introverted girl entered the dungeon, she always looked nervous and never showed a smile, but now seeing her cold smile, Cheng Zhichu's heart was only A sense of horror.
Bai Yiruo raised his head with feeling, and saw Lu Wenjing smiling, his pupils shrank immediately. At the same time, the floor under Cheng Zhichu's feet suddenly cracked, revealing a big black hole. He didn't react and fell straight into it.
The moment she fell in, Cheng Zhichu saw a green light appear on Lu Wenjing's neck. She was wearing the emerald necklace, but the next second, the necklace disappeared again.
"Boom—"
The floor closed in an instant, and there were no traces left. Bai Yi was stunned for a moment, his expression suddenly darkened, his face was expressionless, his eyes were sharp, cold and terrifying, and he was completely different from the appearance he showed in front of Cheng Zhichu.
"come out."
He looked at Lu Wenjing and spit out these two words lightly. Lu Wenjing smiled without saying a word, he directly grabbed her throat, instantly grabbed the blue-black handprint, and repeated it coldly.
"come out."
"haven't seen you for a long time."
The girl's face was bruised and she began to roll her eyes, but she didn't struggle at all. There was a weird smile on the corner of her mouth. She was clearly pinched by her throat, and her lips didn't move, but her voice was still clear, flowing from her throat. It came out as if it was a sound box covered with human skin.
She continued to smile and said, "You're not dead yet?"
"You haven't collapsed yet, how can I disappear first." Bai Yi's tone was cold and indifferent, "The curse is yours?"
"Yes, I'm going to give it to him, what do you think?"
Having said this, the girl paused for a moment, and then chuckled happily: "It seems that I asked a meaningless question, I think it's good, and of course you will think so, because we are the same person."
Bai Yi's eyes darkened: "Give him back to me."
"Give it back to you? But he doesn't belong to you in the first place."
Speaking of this, the girl's body suddenly began to melt like a candle, the skin and bones were melting, and the blood spurted out, gradually turning into a pool of pus and blood, but the pile of sticky rotten flesh continued to make noise.
"You can find him yourself, but the terrain here can be changed by me at will, and you can't find the entrance to the basement."
"Or maybe you can get away with finding the entrance, but by then, he has already become my property, he will be killed by me, his soul will stay here forever with me, and my body will be eaten by me, what are you? can't get it."
Bai Yi is still indifferent: "I will kill you."
"kill me?"
The voice of speaking slowly changed, and turned into a beautiful young male voice. He sneered: "Kill me, you will be hurt again, maybe it will collapse directly—"
"Don't touch him."
Bai Yi stepped on the rotten meat and rolled it hard, directly crushing the sound.
His deep pupils were dyed with a little light, but it was like a black flame burning in hell.
At the same time, the entire mansion seemed to tremble faintly.
"I said, don't touch him."
…
After the hole in the floor was opened, there was a long staircase below. Cheng Zhichu rolled down all the way in a murmur. He fell to the ground in the secret passage and broke his head. When he finally rolled to the bottom, he lay dizzy and dizzy. On the ground, blood dripped down immediately, and his face was covered with smear.
dying! !
Cheng Zhichu was terrified, and quickly took out the blood-replenishing medicine from his backpack, knocked two bottles in a row to stop the bleeding, and felt better.
When the pain passed, he struggled to sit up and picked up the flashlight that rolled down with him, illuminating the darkness in front of him.
It really deserves to be a nuclear flashlight, no matter how much you fall, it won't break... Fortunately, it is there, otherwise he really can't see anything, and he must be crazy right away.
… but he was still so scared! ! He is the only one here, it seems that Lu Wenjing is also controlled by the necklace, only Bai Yi is on it, I don't know if he can handle it, I hope he will be fine...
Cheng Zhichu knew that he could only rely on himself now, he stood up tremblingly, took a deep breath, and then slowly realized that the dust was heavier and the air was filled with an unpleasant smell, so he couldn't help coughing.
When he rolled down, he still had a lot of cobwebs stuck on his body, and now there are still a lot of them on the top of his head. He had to spend the only ten weapons to synthesize fragments and synthesize a slender wooden stick, although it was useless for self-defense, But it's better than nothing, you have the right to embolden yourself and clean up those cobwebs.
Cheng Zhichu raised a flashlight in one hand, stirred the wooden stick in the other and knocked down the cobwebs, finally seeing the whole picture here.
According to the previous clues, this should be the basement where Charlie was imprisoned. After seeing the scratches and bloodstains on the ground, Cheng Zhichu confirmed this and remembered what had happened here before, and his heart fluttered.
He doesn't know if he can go back to the corridor on the second floor. If not, he has to find another way out, and even if he can go back, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to go back... All in all, he should collect the clues here first. .
Cheng Zhichu let out a sigh of relief, and did some psychological construction for himself. After the skill had cooled down, he started it again. This time, he only found a spot of light, which was on the ground not far from him.
He walked over tremblingly with a flashlight, picked it up, and found that it was a paper note that had been torn in half, and the paper was stained with blood. It was the second half of Mrs. Mei Jie's torn diary.

Bai Yi's Diary? Part 10
One day after entering this game, my soul was shattered, and only I kept the original appearance. Other fragments flew to all corners of the game and turned into different individuals, thus giving birth to many things that have never appeared before. s copy.
Some of them have lost the memory of being "I", while others still retain it. The "I" in this copy belongs to the latter, and he knows everything.
He was right, we should have nothing to do with each other. Whether I kill him or he kills me, it is very likely to lead to a second collapse of ourselves.
If any fragment disappears, I may go mad, or become a strange being that I don't even know about, and if I die, all the fragments will die with me immediately.
But so what? As long as he dares to touch Zhichu, I will definitely kill him.
No matter what I become.
