At the end of the recording on the phone, Xiao Li pressed start again, so this sentence resounded through the stairwell again: "Within seven days... you will come down to accompany me!"
The upper body that emerged from the pool of blood was a bloody body. There were no obvious facial features on the face. We could only guess its meaning from its body language. After a while, his neck twisted in a clear arc, as if he didn't quite understand what the recording was about.
The recording of this ghost call was played back and forth by Xiao Li, and publicly executed, until Ye Zeqing interrupted him: "Moriarty, are you...?"
Xiao Li: "I recorded it when it called me."
He retracted the phone. Although Xiao Li deliberately maintained the distance between the phone and the vampire's ears, a little blood still splashed on the phone screen. He hesitated for a moment and looked at Rodian: "Do you have a tissue?"
Rodian was also a little confused, but after listening to Xiao Li's question, she subconsciously flipped through her backpack, took out a pack of napkins from it and handed it to Xiao Li.
Xiao Li lowered his head and wiped the screen with a tissue, put the phone back in his pocket, and looked at Ye Zeqing.
Ye Zeqing pointed to the vampire and asked, "I know this is a recording, but what are you doing to show it to it?"
"Take a test. The countdown to life starts from the third phone call, which means that this call is the key to the curse," Xiao Li explained, "I just don't know whether the curse is the call itself, or after the call is connected. What the Specter said, and whether the curse can be transmitted through the recording."
When Xiao Li said this, he said to Ye Zeqing: "You communicate with it and ask it how it feels after listening to the curse recording?"
Ye Zeqing: "..."
—He doesn’t know why, but now he feels like a translation intermediary platform, broadcasting live broadcasts to Xiao Li and the vampires…
The young man shook his head, lowered his heart, and carefully used his physique to sense the emotions of the vampire. After a long time, Ye Zeqing opened his eyes: "It has an extra power in its body, and it is doing something with that power. fight."
Xiao Li put his finger to his mouth and bit twice: "Foreign power belongs to a curse... What emotion does it still have now?"
Ye Zeqing looked at him sadly.
Xiao Li asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Ye Zeqing: "I'm not a translator."
Xiao Li: "..."
Ye Zeqing said so, but after that he still answered Xiao Li's words: "It doesn't have a unified thinking now, it only has a general mood. It doesn't know what happened, and it feels panic."
Ye Zeqing didn't say a word - he just didn't know whether the panic was caused by the ghost on the phone or by Xiao Li.
The blood ghost was stunned for a while at first, but soon, a line of words appeared in the pool of blood in its half body.
As if someone was dipping their fingers in the blood of a vampire and writing it out, stroke by stroke: 96.
It was the countdown.
The blood ghost roared in place, and punched directly on the steps, erasing the row of numbers.
Xiao Li jumped over from the vampire at the right moment and landed next to Ye Zeqing and the others: "Let's go."
Ye Zeqing was a little reluctant: "Aren't we going to finish it? It's rare to see a blood ghost vs a phone ghost. I'd like to see what the outcome of their fight will be."
Xiao Li had already walked down a flight of stairs, and said without looking back, "Telephone ghost wins."
The curse of the phone ghost belongs to the boss level of this dungeon world, and the blood ghost is just one of the mobs, and the gap between the two is not the same.
Ye Zeqing had no choice but to follow.
Rodian has been following carefully since the recording time of the phone call, and now she finally sorted everything out - she took another look at the decreasing numbers on her arm, and asked Xiao Li, "Is it... Like the midnight bell, we can ease the countdown to our lives by spreading the curse of the phone?"
The reason why she never thought of this level is mainly because the media in Midnight Bell is video tape, and the ghost calls here are phone calls. Now Xiao Li has confirmed that the recording also contains curses, so is the purpose of the female ghost? Want more people to accompany her, which is to spread the curse to others
"It's a possibility, but I don't think it's a solution." Xiao Li replied while paying attention to the floor.
"Bang—" The sound of heavy objects crashing constantly came from upstairs, as if the vampire was going mad, fighting with the phone ghost, and the whole staircase was buzzing.
Han Jin's fall did not cause any substantial damage to him, but his pants were stained with blood, his body was covered in dust, and his face was dirty.
Han Jin panted and said, "Let's go quickly, in case the winner of them slows down and comes back to us—"
Everyone quickened their pace and ran down.
The stairs of the safe passage are very dark, there are no windows, so there is no light, and they dare not turn on the flashlight, afraid of attracting the attention of the ghosts upstairs, so they can only move forward in the dark.
They ran from the third floor to the second floor, and then went down a circle—
Ye Zeqing wanted to continue, but Xiao Li grabbed him.
"What's wrong?"
"This is the second floor."
"so?"
"We just came down from the second floor, and what we saw was the second floor, with more floors."
"… "
Rodian took out his flashlight and headed towards the sign at the corner of the corridor, which read "2F".
Next to the corridor sign, a door was quietly closed, as if waiting for the reincarnators to go out from the door.
At this time, the vampires upstairs had quieted down. I don't know if it was a failure, or if they fled outside. The whole stairwell was quiet.
Quietly disturbing.
"Let's go down one more time." Xiao Li raised a finger and gestured toward the stairs.
They walked down again, and after going around the stairs twice, where it should have been "1F", it still showed "2F".
They are back to square one again.
"Ghost hitting the wall?" Rodian said uneasily.
She originally had a prop on hand that could restrain this kind of mystery, but it was a pity that she ran out of it in the previous world.
Xiao Li stood where he was, and his eyes fell on the door out of the 2F safe passage.
He had also encountered the ghosts hitting the wall caused by the pen fairy on the ghost train, but that time the pen fairy took them out in person - but this time the ghost hitting the wall was different, and the ghosts also specially reserved a door for them .
"There is a ghost outside the door." Ye Zeqing also stared at the door, and he said with a bad expression, "The ghost in the corridor has dissipated, but there is definitely a ghost behind this door."
"Try going up?" Rodian naturally thought of the top, and maybe the residual power of the vampires could help them get out of the ghost wall.
They tried facing upwards again, but this time, what appeared in front of the reincarnators was still the second floor.
The reincarnators are trapped on this floor.
Xiao Li put his hand directly on the door handle of the door on the second floor, pressed it down, and the door opened with a sound.
Rodian was startled, and immediately stopped Xiao Li: "You—"
Xiao Li turned his head: "Do you have any other way?"
Rodian shook his head.
"That's it," Xiao Li pushed open the door and walked out, "Since this is what it wants us to enter, let's go in and have a look."
His silhouette almost merged with the darkness, and his back quickly disappeared at the door.
In view of the many experiences, Ye Zeqing followed without hesitation, while the remaining Rodian and Han Jin looked at each other and chose to follow.
On the girl's right arm covered with clothes, the number decreased by one again to 64.
- She still has 64 hours to live.
—
Walking out of the door of the safe passage, no ghosts rushed towards the crowd - even compared to the visual effect, a melodious violin sound floated into their ears from a distance.
After Xiao Li heard the violin music, he noticed the scene in front of him.
This is obviously no longer an administrative building, but a rather dilapidated building. Each room in the corridor is large and empty, with mirrors covering an entire wall. Next to the rooms are written "2-1", "2-2" looks more like a dance room than a classroom.
Xiao Li looked back and saw that the door from which they came out had disappeared and had become a sealed wall.
Ye Zeqing took a deep breath: "I can sense that the ghost's breath is relatively stable, and it is quite happy now."
"I hope it can maintain its good mood and not change." Rodian took over the words and joked.
The way was blocked, and everyone could only walk forward in the corridor following the music. There was a dance studio in front of it with lights on. It was the only light source in the entire corridor, like a flame that attracted moths.
With the progress of everyone's footsteps, the sound of the music has also changed, from light and lively to a heavy and emotional violin piece.
Xiao Li whispered: "This also comes with BGM?"
This sentence was heard by Ye Zeqing, who was following him, and choked on his saliva immediately.
If he hadn't been very sensitive to ghosts, he would definitely not be able to stop laughing - but at this moment Ye Zeqing's mood was a little heavy: "The ghost's mood has changed, it seems to change with the music, it becomes sad, Sad, frustrated."
Xiao Li got closer and closer to the dance studio, and the lights emanating from it stretched his shadow diagonally on the wall. At the same time, Xiao Li could also see the movement in the dance studio—
There was a figure in there. She was wearing ballet shoes, her toes stood high, and she was dancing to the low and pathetic music, sometimes jumping high, sometimes sinking, doing all kinds of difficult movements, singing the music The emotional expression in it is vivid and vivid.
She was turning so fast that no one could see her face.
The crowd did not stand out directly, for fear of disturbing the dancer, but just stood in the corner and looked at her with their heads out.
"Is this... a human? Or a ghost?" Han Jin leaned over Ye Zeqing's ear and asked as if biting his ear.
Ye Zeqing shrank his neck and pushed him away: "Be careful, it's a ghost... The ghost I felt before was her."
This is a fully enclosed corridor, except for a few dance rooms, there are no other doors for entry and exit.
They stand here watching her dance, and when the song is over, the dancer bows to the empty mirror, and the new music starts again—
The prelude to that music is a piece of resentment. It just dropped eight degrees at the beginning, as if the performer was venting. The dullness made people panic.
The dancer's expression also changed with the music, from a humble smile to a hatred full of expressionless.
"You can't let it jump down." Ye Zeqing noticed this and said anxiously.
From joy at first, to sadness, to hatred—
Obviously these songs are to mobilize the hatred of the dancers for the reincarnations. It is difficult to say whether the dancers will kill them after finishing this song.
In the third second of the song, a deafening sound of music overwhelmed it.
A strong and powerful male voice said loudly: "—The second set of national middle school students broadcast gymnastics, the times are calling!"
The dynamic music rang out, completely obscuring the previous music of hatred.
The dancer stopped dancing.
Dancer: ? ?
