The blood words "I love you" on the glass continued to emerge, and the color changed from light to thick, like dripping blood, densely extending toward the wall at the edge of the window, and even gradually spreading to the entire wall, a strong bloody smell paved the surface Come on, it's disgusting.
"Snapped."
A few drops of blood fell from the ceiling and fell on the bodies of several people in the room. The photographer who fell to the ground was stunned and fainted. Ji Yunxiao took out the cross pendant from his collar. It faded a little, but in a blink of an eye it reappeared, and the color was even stronger than before.
When he saw the bloody words, Cheng Zhichu's body froze slightly, but he quickly realized it. He took out a card he had purchased before and immediately activated it.
This card is called "Purification Fire", which can burn Yin Qi and Wraith for half a minute. It is a relatively powerful attack card.
After the "Fire of Purification" took effect, a pure and warm white flame jumped up from his palm and began to burn the blood in the house.
The effect of the card is remarkable. It didn't take a moment for the blood to disappear. There were also a few shrill screams in the middle, and a few small figures were twisted and dissipated in the white flame.
Cheng Zhichu hurriedly tried to push the window, but the window was still motionless and very firm. Obviously, the ghost trapping them had not been eliminated, and it was only a very weak ghost that was burned just now.
How many ghosts are there in this villa, why are there so many ghosts... And what does the ghost have to do with him this time
Thinking of the crazy and paranoid bloody words, Cheng Zhichu's scalp felt numb, and he couldn't help cursing the bloodstained ring in his heart.
Obviously, due to the existence of this cursed object, he was forced to have some kind of connection with the ghost, and now the ghost is staring at him, and he doesn't think he will be so lucky this time. ghost.
But who is this ghost? Is it Zhou Luochen, or something that killed Zhou Luochen
"This is… ?"
Bai Xixing witnessed all this. Compared with the photographer who passed out, his reaction was much calmer. His eyes fell on Cheng Zhichu and he asked, "Brother Cheng, can you exorcise ghosts?"
"I know a little bit." Cheng Zhichu was inconvenient to answer about the game, so he had to deal with it vaguely, "But I'm not sure how to deal with the ghost here, he's very powerful."
Bai Xixing nodded slightly, glanced at the head rolling down the door, and said solemnly: "Now we are trapped by ghosts here, it seems that we have to find a way to kill him before we can get out..."
Halfway through his words, the phone suddenly vibrated, as if a message had arrived.
"Can you communicate with the outside world?" Cheng Zhichu was slightly startled, and suddenly became happy.
They couldn't use their mobile phones in the copy before, and his mobile phone was also taken away, so they didn't expect that Bai Xixing's mobile phone could still be used.
Although it is estimated that no one can save them, if they can contact the outside world, there will always be more hope.
"…not a normal text message."
Bai Xixing took out his phone and opened the message, his eyes suddenly sank: "It's a message from a ghost, asking me to show my phone to Brother Cheng." He paused, his expression gloomy, "He also occupied my cousin's phone. Number."
Saying that, he handed the phone to Cheng Zhichu and analyzed it.
"As far as it looks, this ghost can change the communication signal, not only the mobile phone, Xiao Liu also said that the director can't receive the signal here, but what the people inside hear is all normal, it is probably a ghost forgery from."
"So we can't contact the outside world, let alone call for help. Even if the phone can be dialed, we don't know what it will be."
Cheng Zhichu took over the phone and felt a little heavy. Even if he didn't expect to ask for help from the outside world, he was still a little disappointed.
However, he quickly restrained his emotions and began to check the text messages received on his mobile phone.
The contact person who sent the message was as Bai Xixing said, and the name displayed was "Bai Yi's cousin".
The message read: "Remember what happened here? Actually you were here - twelve years ago."
Is this the year that Zhou Luochen died
Cheng Zhichu recalled, but he had no memory of his coming here, and he happened to chat with his family to City C last night, and his mother also made it clear that they had never been there.
This should be the setting of the dungeon, just like the last dungeon, it is not a real thing, and it has nothing to do with him.
Thinking like this, Cheng Zhichu typed a reply message: "I don't remember I've been here."
"yes?"
A rhetorical question appeared in the message sent on the phone screen, and after a moment of silence, there was a new text.
"Let's play a game."
"If you win, I'll let you all go. If you lose, I'll let them go, but you must stay with me forever."
"I won't hurt them during the game, but if you don't agree, I'll kill everyone present, you know I have this ability."
Seeing these pieces of information, Cheng Zhichu frowned, wondering if there was any conspiracy in it.
"What game do you want to play and what are the rules?" he typed.
"Very simple game, hide and seek."
"The rules are not complicated. After the game starts, you can move and hide at will, and I will find you. I will appear in the form of a "human" and will not use methods that humans cannot use, as long as you persist for two hours If you don't find me, even if you win."
Cheng Zhichu didn't believe what he said: "I can't see you, so how can I know if you will foul? Besides, the rules are made by you, you can modify them however you want."
"My power will also be limited in the game, because the venue of the game is not here, but another place."
"It's normal for you to have concerns. I really can't prove that what I'm saying now is true."
"So this is not a proposal, but a threat to you. If you don't agree, I will kill them all now, leaving you alone, and the game will be the same then."
"what-"
At the same time as the information appeared, the photographer who fell to the ground suddenly cried out in a coma, and a shallow bloodstain appeared on his neck, as if he had been injured by something.
"Look." The message said, "I know you have some means, but they are not enough to destroy me. You want to protect them, but how long can you hold on? The final result will not change."
"Only by promising me will you have the chance to escape from here."
Cheng Zhichu frowned. In fact, at this point, he has already planned to agree to the ghost's proposal. After all, this is his own personal copy, and it has nothing to do with Ji Yunxiao, Bai Xixing and others. Some people have died because of it before. to more people.
And not to mention this, he still has the task of kissing the Boss. Now it seems that the ghost talking to him should be the Boss. He must meet the Boss to kiss, otherwise he will be trapped here and cannot get out.
"What's the purpose of your game with me?" he finally asked. "If you just want to keep me, you can just do it."
"why?"
Cheng Zhichu seemed to hear a faint chuckle.
"Yeah, why?"
"...Maybe it's also because I love you."
"… "
"If you agree to my proposal, go up to the second floor first, turn right, go into that bedroom, and I have something to show you."
Cheng Zhichu took a deep breath, held the phone, and said to Bai Xixing, "Sorry, senior, I need to borrow your phone for a while, and I may talk to him later."
"It's okay, but are you really going to promise him?"
Bai Xixing, who had been watching their conversation the whole time, shook his head and strongly disagreed: "This is too dangerous, you can't listen to him, he is the maker of the rules, once you fall into the trap, you will be manipulated by him arbitrarily."
"no."
Ji Yunxiao grabbed Cheng Zhichu's wrist directly, his eyes filled with anxiety: "We can be together, we can't just let you take risks alone."
"Probably I can only go by myself."
Cheng Zhichu smiled, leaned in and whispered in Ji Yunxiao's ear.
"I met the reality copy, and I was the only one in the group. I was the one who implicated you all... What's more, you can protect them by staying here. Who knows if the ghosts here will do anything to you, and you can't completely believe his words. "
"But… "
"Trust me, I'm fine." Cheng Zhichu patted his chest and smiled, "I'm very good at games, especially hide and seek. I've hardly lost since I was a child."
"..." After a brief silence, Ji Yunxiao finally let go of his hand slowly, nodded with a firm look in his eyes, "I believe in you. I will protect them well, and you must come back smoothly."
"it is good."
Cheng Zhichu smiled, said goodbye to the two of them, turned around and walked towards the stairs, and told himself in his heart that it doesn't matter if he loses, anyway, as long as he sees the Boss, give him a sip...
"My lord," Silver Coin whispered suddenly to him, "if you're not sure, use me to your heart's content, and I'll bring you good—"
"Unsubscribe."
"… "
Cheng Zhichu ruthlessly rejected the temptation of the silver coins and stepped directly onto the stairs leading to the second floor.
The stairs are fully enclosed, with walls on both sides, which look long and narrow. There are also many paintings hanging on the walls, most of which are of children. When he walked by, the eyes of these children were rolling, and their eyes followed. His pace and the expression on his face were constantly changing.
"woo..."
There was a slight cry of a child, and several milky white shadows appeared from different places. They were all children. Some were hiding behind the potted plants to reveal their small heads, while others appeared half of their bodies from the ceiling.
They did not approach Cheng Zhichu, nor were they vicious, most of them showed sad expressions, sobbing softly, silently watching Cheng Zhichu pass by.
Why are these ghosts children...
Cheng Zhichu was not very afraid, but felt strange, guessing whether it was related to Zhou Luochen's love of children before his death, and whether it had something to do with the cause of his death.
Speaking of which, he was negligent just now. He forgot to ask what kind of human shape that ghost would appear in front of him. Could it be that it was also a child
He walked up to the second floor and turned to the right according to the instructions on his mobile phone. At this moment, a ghost of a child walked out. He was different from other children. He was very curious about Cheng Zhichu and extended his He reached out with his little hands, as if he wanted to grab the corner of his clothes.
"Don't touch him."
A line of blood suddenly appeared on the ground, causing the little ghost to freeze, and immediately retreated into the dark corner.
The bloody words slowly disappeared, and turned into another content, which was said to Cheng Zhichu: "The third room on the right."
He and the other ghosts also communicate through words, not speech
Seeing the blood on the ground, Cheng Zhichu was a little puzzled. He thought that the ghost had been using the phone and the blood to scare them, but now it seems that there is something hidden in it.
"click, squeak..."
Cheng Zhichu pushed open the door of the third room and immediately smelled a bloody smell. At this moment, the sky was getting darker. He turned on the light and saw at a glance a headless corpse lying in a pool of blood, and one of the arms on the corpse was missing.
This should be one of the props masters.
He suddenly recalled the hand waving towards the room just now, and the falling head, and suddenly felt a chill.
This is the ghost who removed the arm and head of the corpse, used the corpse to speak, and used the severed hand to lure them out. At that time, although he had faintly noticed that something was wrong, he didn't realize that there was really a ghost, and he didn't have time. Stop Xiao Liu who is attracted to the past.
Xiao Liu just disappeared behind the wall, and then spewed out a lot of blood. I don't know if he was alive or dead. There was another prop artist and photographer, and they were probably still here.
Cheng Zhichu sent a text message to ask the ghost: "Apart from the three people who were with me just now, where are the rest? They were all killed by you?"
"No, they were kept in another room."
"The only person I killed was this person. The person who disappeared in front of you I just wounded him, took him elsewhere, didn't kill him. Killing these people means nothing to me."
"Killing doesn't make sense to you, so why did you kill someone anyway?"
Seeing the content on the phone, Cheng Zhichu frowned. He originally thought that there was no reason for ghosts to kill people, and they just wanted to kill, but now it seems that this is not the case for this ghost.
"Because he wanted to peek at the painting on the wall."
Cheng Zhichu heard the words and looked up. This bedroom is very spacious. In addition to a large bed, there are several bookcases, which are full of trophies, photos, and some personal items.
Unlike other places where paintings are hung, there is only one painting here, which is covered by a white cloth, and the content inside cannot be seen.
The headless corpse fell in front of the painting, as if it was what the ghost said. He was killed in front of the painting because he wanted to see the painting.
Cheng Zhichu turned on the clue flash prompt in the house, but got the result that the skill failed.
This time, he used his main survival points to buy cards, and there was no extra points to upgrade the prompt skill to level three, so the prompt can only be used in the hard difficulty dungeon at most. The difficulty of this dungeon is displayed as unknown, maybe in the Above Hard difficulty, this skill cannot be used.
Seeing this situation, Cheng Zhichu didn't give up looking for clues. He walked to the bookcase and checked it carefully.
There was no new message from the mobile phone, it seemed that he acquiesced to his actions. Cheng Zhichu opened the bookcase and looked at the trophy and photos one by one. These were all awards that Zhou Luochen had won, and the photos were mostly photos of him and his children.
There are also a few photos of him and Bai Yi.
Cheng Zhichu saw the handsome boy in the photo and was immediately attracted.
Interestingly, almost all of Bai Yi in these photos have a very indifferent expression, even in front of the teacher, there is no smile on his face.
In only one photo, the boy Bai Yi was sitting in front of the easel, and Zhou Luochen was instructing him to paint. There was a faint smile on the boy's lips, and he stared at his easel, his eyes were extraordinarily soft.
What is Bai Yi painting
Cheng Zhichu was curious, but unfortunately, the focus of the photo was specially adjusted in order to highlight the characters. The picture on the easel was very blurry. Only the person was painted, and the lower half was a large red block.
He thought for a while, put the photo back in its original place, and after the copy was over, he would ask Bai Xixing if he could take the photo, because he wanted to bring the photo to Bai Yi, maybe this would make Bai Yi happy.
After looking at the photos and trophies, he didn't find anything special, he just thought that this should be Zhou Luochen's bedroom.
If it is Zhou Luochen's bedroom, then the picture on the wall is painted by Bai Yi
His eyes fell on the painting that was covered by the white cloth, because Bai Xixing had mentioned before that Zhou Luochen was very satisfied with the painting that Bai Yi painted, and even put it in his bedroom on purpose, and there were no other paintings at all.
"You can take off the cloth and look at the painting."
"They can't watch, but you can."
"Then you can start the game."
Cheng Zhichu heard the words and walked over, reaching out and carefully pulling the white cloth down.
It was a portrait of a boy who caught his eye.
The boy Yuxue in the painting is cute, his skin is white and tender, his hair is also a light color, his big eyes are like beautiful glass stones, his smile is like a blooming sun flower, he is standing in the sea of bright red roses, the tone is dreamy, like a dream come in.
This is the painting that the young Bai Yi in the photo is creating.
And the boy in the picture...
Cheng Zhichu's expression suddenly became stiff.
"Yes, it's you."
"The child in the picture is you."
"How about it, do you still like this picture?"
The blood on the wall was looming around the portrait, the boy in the painting suddenly blinked, and then Cheng Zhichu smelled the aroma of roses.
A rich, warm, and disorienting aroma.
The boy stretched out his hands from the painting, gently grabbed Cheng Zhichu's hand, and pulled him into the painting.
The scene in the portrait began to change. There was a breeze blowing, which rolled up the bright red petals, scattered up and down in the air, and gradually made a sound.
The boy came out of the sea of flowers and threw himself into his father's arms, while the mother pulled another little girl, all with smiles on their faces, looking like a very happy family of four.
"The game is about to begin."
The screen of the mobile phone that fell to the ground lit up, and after displaying this line of text, it gradually dimmed, and there was no sound.

Bai Yi's Diary Part 39
Today's Bai Yi didn't even open the diary and bought three sketchbooks.
(The search history on the phone changed from "how to catch up with straight men", "what should I do if the person I like doesn't like me", "what should I do if the crush is too dull" to "sailor suit", "bunny girl outfit", "xx Underwear" etc.)
