To strangle someone with a belt requires skill and strength. Qin has the skill very well, but his strength is not enough, mainly because his body is too weak.
Rubbing her red palms, she slowly wrapped the belt around her hands. She couldn't bring a knife in, so she was going to use this specially selected belt as a weapon.
After identifying the direction, Qin Feichang walked towards the rose garden where she died for the first time. She still believed in her intuition and felt that there was something special there, and she wanted to go and see it again.
More than fifty people ran out separately. In this huge maze-like ruined castle, no one could be seen in a minute. Qin was very prepared to be alone, but not long after he went out, he saw several people gathered not far away, as if they were waiting for something.
When the leading young man saw her, his eyes lit up and he waved at her.
"You must be Luo Lan, I'm Leon." The young man smiled at her politely, "We have all entered your chat room. We can't discuss the specific situation here when we return to our original world, so we gather together now to exchange information. We are going to gather all the dangers in this castle, so that everyone can be mentally prepared."
Good, I finally calmed down and started to think. Qin Fei nodded, changed his mind about leaving immediately, and prepared to listen to what they had to say.
"The first time I died, I drank the water from the pool." Leon's face turned pale as he recalled the pain he felt at that time. "If you drink the water here, you will vomit constantly. It's like a hand is squeezing all the water out of your body. It's best for everyone to stay away from the pool."
The others also endured the pain and said, "I died from eating food. My stomach burst. I can't eat anything here."
"I was on the first floor of the building next door, in what seemed to be a kitchen, and I encountered a ghost. It controlled my body and chopped off my hand with a kitchen knife. I bled a lot... It was at night, and there are a lot of ghosts at night." The good-looking girl said as she trembled slightly.
"I was killed by vines. The vines moved and twisted my neck, loosening and tightening. It took a long time for me to die. I felt like they were alive."
"I was mauled to death by a skeleton in a church... It hurt so much."
"I am… "
Qin Feichang listened and said, "Try to treat this as a game, a 100% painful horror holographic game."
The others looked at her with complicated expressions.
If everyone is in despair, then the rest will be involuntarily infected by this despair. However, among this group of frightened people, there emerges such a frighteningly calm person, which makes them feel that their own fears seem to become cowardly.
These young people in their twenties are the most contradictory, cowardly on one hand and brave on the other. That's why these few who are most unwilling to admit defeat gather together and try to fight against it all.
"Loran, you are really amazing. I noticed you from the beginning. You don't seem to be afraid of these things." Leon looked at her with emotion, his eyes flickering slightly. "You are the bravest girl I have ever seen. I feel that as a man, I have lost to you."
"I hope you can join us and fight that demon together. Although it's scary here, none of us will give in. Just like you said, we can definitely break this curse!" He said it sincerely, and when he stretched out his hand, he looked like a passionate young leader.
Qin Feichang pushed his glasses, not being infected by his passion and sincerity. "If you are smart enough, you should know that you shouldn't approach me at this time. I believe you can see that Egbert will target me. If you stay with me, you will only die miserably."
Leon: "As long as you agree to join us, you will be our teammate. No matter what happens, we will never abandon our teammates. You don't have to worry about us. No matter what happens, we will accompany you to bear it together."
"What I mean is—" Qin Feichang smiled a little, "I am now Egbert's prey. Anyone who gets close to me will be targeted by him. Compared to me, those who try to stay by my side will be in a worse situation."
She had almost figured out Egbert's personality traits, and the small gift of a ribbon she had just given as a test made her even more certain.
As long as she could keep attracting Egbert's attention and do things that he didn't expect, she might not be affected. But if others tried to team up with her or contact her, they would be regarded as "obstructions" or "tools" by Egbert.
The hindrance is anything that gets in the way of his revenge and pleasure, and he will kill it cruelly. The tool is anything he can use to torture her, and he will also kill it cruelly.
Now Egbert's eyes were mostly on her, so it should be easier for the rest of the people if they just jumped off the building to escape, or explored the castle carefully - of course, this was in comparison with the unlucky people who had entered here before.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Leon was still unwilling, “Wait, then do you have any suggestions?”
Qin Feichang turned his head and said, "Adjust your mindset and try not to go crazy." For these young people, this is already a high requirement.
The beautiful roses in the flower bed opened their eyes and watched their conversation quietly.
Suddenly, the sun went down, the bells in the bell tower rang, and the courtyard they were in changed. The desolate ruins once again turned into a magnificent castle with the sound of the bells.
The roses on the roadside were blooming more beautifully, the buildings in the distance were brightly lit, and one could even hear the sound of people singing and dancing at a banquet. But when one thought about what was making these sounds, one could not help but feel a chill in the heart.
There was also a commotion nearby, and listening carefully, it seemed that a group of guards were passing by the courtyard, and their shoes made a clattering sound on the stone pavement. The sound was very close, but no one could be seen.
"It's a ghost!" Someone who had died at the hands of the ghost before screamed in horror.
"Be quiet, let's get out of here quickly." Except for Leon who tried to remain calm, the rest of the people started to get agitated.
Before Qin Feichang had time to get away from here, he saw Leon's expression change and become extremely terrified.
"I'm being possessed by a ghost!" he shouted.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the rest of the people also cried out in a similar way. They could not control their bodies, which twisted against their will.
When Qin Feichang found that others were controlled by ghosts but he was not, he knew that the sudden change of day and night and the person possessed by the ghost must be the work of Egbert. He really had been watching everything here.
No wonder he was so casual when he was stirring up discord in the hall before, it turns out there was a way to make them kill each other.
It’s unclear whether this kid wants to see them chase her or she kills them back.
Qin was thinking all this in his mind, and when those men ran towards him, he rolled up the belt in his hand, tripped Leon who was running in the front, strangled him by the neck, stepped on his back, and used the impact of his body weight to directly break his neck.
These people possessed by ghosts were not very flexible, and Qin Feichang seized the opportunity to trip one of them and broke his neck using the same method as before.
One after another, except for the gradually heavier breathing, Qin Feichang's expression did not change. When she killed the last beautiful girl, she saw that her expression was particularly ugly, and she rarely said: "Go back and have a good rest."
Several bodies fell to the ground. Qin Feichang, the only one still standing, leaned against a pillar and gasped with his head raised. He was very tired.
"You have killed all your companions." Egbert's voice was particularly pleasant, which made people slightly forgive the gloating in his words.
Qin Feichang lowered his head and saw that Egbert had quietly sat down beside the rose-filled flowerbed. The beautiful boy in the moonlight held his chin with one leg resting on the other, his toes just touching Qin Feichang's shadow.
He had a ribbon wrapped around his finger and smiled sweetly, "You did a great job just now, so I decided to invite you to the dance."
The next moment after hearing his words, Qin felt a chill coming out of the pillar behind her and entering her body. She felt as if her limbs were frozen and she couldn't move at all.
So this is what it feels like to be possessed by a ghost? Indeed, my movements are somewhat sluggish and I can't control myself.
Egbert now became like an elegant little prince, holding her hand, and took her to a nearby building with a smile. Qin Feichang had never been here before. Compared with a hall that could accommodate many people, this place was more like a private small hall.
After they entered, the originally silent small hall suddenly came alive. Countless candles lit up inside, illuminating the intricately patterned wallpapers, the paintings on the walls, and the small tables and sofas filled with wine, flowers, and more.
There was clearly no one in the room, but Qin could hear many people talking, as if the sofas were actually occupied by ladies in gorgeous dresses, gentlemen were standing by the small tables and windows, and there was a piano in the corner playing pleasant music automatically.
The invisible ghost spoke incomprehensible words, and Egbert led her in and through the "crowd".
Qin Feichang's eyes swept over the surrounding furniture and details one by one.
When they walked into the lounge area, the music suddenly stopped and the conversation stopped, as if all "people" were welcoming the host.
Qin felt like she was in a crowd. She was forced to sit on a sofa by an invisible person, and someone took off her shoes, exposing her feet.
Egbert was still wearing the shirt and trousers stained with blood. He stood beside the sofa and snapped his fingers. Suddenly, whispers and small laughs were heard all around.
Amid the rustling sounds, Qin Feichang saw a layer of sparkling glass fragments on the ground, covering the velvet carpet.
The music started again, and Egbert walked up to her, holding her hand, and they walked towards the glass stage together.
"Are you happy that I can dance with you all night?" He looked at her and said, his dark eyes full of false affection and real expectation.
Qin Feichang looked at her feet, which were already bleeding from stepping on the glass. After dancing all night, her feet would probably be a head shorter. Really good, this little lunatic is really capable of making trouble.
She put her hand on Egbert's shoulder and said, "What's the point of dancing controlled by a ghost? It's better for me to control my body and dance with you."
Eggbert smiled and said, "Untie the restraints and you will struggle and escape."
Qin Feichang: "I will struggle and run away because of the pain. Isn't it more interesting? In this state, my body will not react even if it hurts."
Egbert: "Well... you're right." He was convinced.
Qin Feichang felt her body become heavier, and she regained control of her body. The glass under her feet cut her skin, and even if she could endure it, she couldn't help showing some pain.
Egbert held her waist, carefully observing her expression, waiting for her to lose control and struggle in pain. But after waiting for a long time, he only saw her frowning slightly, calmly pressing her body weight on him, and standing on tiptoe to step on the glass with an exceptionally light movement.
Unable to see the scene he wanted to see, Egbert's smile faded a little. He smiled maliciously, deliberately held Qin Feichang's hand, and wanted her to spin in circles to the music.
After turning around like this, half of her foot was about to be cut. Qin Feichang looked at him, suddenly hugged his neck, stepped on his shoes, and when a cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes, he opened his mouth and bit his lips hard.
She never does business at a loss. She will always make up for the losses she has suffered in a different way.
