With the photo in his hand, Xu Lang couldn't help but start to numb his scalp. This time he was frightened by his own conjecture.
There is no person in the world who is not afraid of death, and Xu Lang is no exception. He pursues the traces of evil spirits and has a certain resistance to fear, but this does not mean that he will spare his life.
On the contrary, from the moment he stepped into the newspaper office and knew the existence of spirituality, Xu Lang has become extremely cherish his life. Only by living can find out the truth about the death of his parents, so he can survive at any price.
At this time, the conjecture of the two evil spirits made Xu Lang feel desperate, and the difficulty of an ordinary editing task would be so high.
Xu Lang's face was downcast, staring at the yellowed photo, and his heart turned overwhelming. His current situation is extremely dangerous. With the existence of two evil spirits, he has no clue about his life. Even Xu Lang is somewhat difficult to support.
Just as he was at a loss, the screen of Huo Xiaolan's phone, who was lying quietly, suddenly lit up.
The above prompted a nickname called "Gu Lei" and sent a WeChat message: "Xiaolan... If you are still alive, quietly come to the elevator on the 8th floor."
Xu Lang was unable to unlock the phone, but it did not mean that the phone could not passively receive information. At this time, the WeChat was constantly scrolling in front of the screen, and clues appeared suddenly.
This WeChat appeared just right, so that Xu Lang, who was a little desperate, once again ignited his confidence. Yes, there are two suspected survivors. This Gu Lei is one of them.
Seeing the task time indented a little bit, Xu Lang knew that he had no choice, and turned to the 8th floor.
However, after facing Huo Xiaolan's experience, Xu Lang was careful this time. He didn't plan to appear before he could judge whether Gu Lei was a real person or not.
The elevator on the 8th floor is located in the middle of the whole building. Xu Lang hides in the corner of the corridor and does not immediately show up. In fact, the internal structure of this building is an upside-down mountain.
The stairwell on each floor corresponds to the longest corridor in the middle. At this time, Xu Lang is leaning on the corner of this corridor, closely watching the movement of the elevator.
But Xu Lang has been crouching here for about five minutes, and the elevator is always empty. Just as he was preparing to move to avoid being spotted by the evil spirits, his shoulders suddenly sank and he was dragged backward by the force and lost. The center of gravity fell backwards on his back.
Xu Lang suddenly felt sad, thinking that he was caught by the evil spirit and was about to be tortured, when he looked up and saw the face of a young man.
The man held Xu Lang's body about to fall to the ground, shaking his head with horror on his face, motioning not to make a sound.
Seeing that it was a person, Xu Lang's heart beating violently eased a little. Seeing the man's movements, he understood that he controlled his body and squatted against the wall.
The man glanced around nervously, and put it in Xu Lang's ear and said: "That evil spirit is not here at the moment, who are you, I sent a WeChat message to Huo Xiaolan, why did you come when she didn't show up."
It seems that this man is Gu Lei. Xu Lang looked at him as a living person, so he took out Huo Xiaolan’s phone and raised it up, whispering: "Huo Xiaolan is dead, my name is Xu Lang. I found her mobile phone and followed up when I saw the WeChat you sent."
Gu Lei showed his original expression and whispered: "It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Let's go to the balcony on the 8th floor." Without waiting for Xu Lang to express his opinion, he went deep into the building.
Xu Lang frowned and thought for a moment, then quietly followed.
The balcony on the 8th floor is a small platform of about 10 square meters. At this time, Gu Lei nervously took out a bunch of things from his bag. He had been using ordinary office pens. Then he took out a notebook and tore off a page, regardless of his side. Xu Lang wrote some words on his own.
Taking advantage of this moment, Xu Lang started to look at Gu Lei, and sure enough, after more than ten years, he can still see that he is the leftmost boy in the photo, because he has a mole on the corner of his mouth, which has never changed.
Gu Lei was busy finishing his work, and said to Xu Lang mysteriously: "You also entered this building by mistake, did you see that thing?"
Xu Lang nodded calmly, waiting for his next words.
Gu Lei leaned over and said, "If you want to leave this place, the conventional method will not work. I believe you have tried it. This place is cursed by that thing. Now I have a way to destroy that thing, but I need your help. !"
Xu Lang looked at Gu Lei in front of him, his heart was full of disdain. If the evil spirit can be eliminated, then I won't use it to perform the task. But it cannot be said that his behavior is not a way of life. Xu Lang asked coldly: "What can you do?"
Gu Lei chuckled, "Have you ever played with Pen Xian? Let's use Pen Xian to send that thing away!"
Xu Lang was stunned when he heard this. Of course, Bixian knew that he had dealt with a case called the so-called Bixian murder, but in the end it was the same bedroom girl who killed his roommate with a supernatural stunt.
In the mission, evil spirits existed. At this time, asking the pen immortal was undoubtedly recruiting evil spirits. How could Xu Lang agree to this stupid practice of igniting the body.
Xu Lang affirmed his refusal, but Gu Lei was quite sincere, "Trust me, I can really do it. I did it once and really sent away an evil spirit in this building."
Gu Lei was shocking, and Xu Lang realized that this might be the final clue to the mission!
After speaking for a moment, he showed a decisive attitude: "I don't believe it. I have seen the horror of that thing. How did you send it away by asking the pen fairy?"
Gu Lei saw that if he could not tell the truth, the man in front of him would not agree at all. He lowered his head and turned his eyes dribblingly, and then said:
"About twelve years ago, when I was in junior high school, I loved playing everything but I didn’t find it exciting enough to play. Later, I heard that Jingming Mansion is a murderous house, so I seduce a few friends who grew up playing. I came to this building in the evening and played with the pen fairy.
There are a total of 15 floors in the building. We chose the 13th floor, an inauspicious floor, in order to find excitement. We lit a candle in a room and invited Pen Xian to open the market.
The two of us took turns to play in groups, but after a long time we invited the pen fairy to show up, because we were five people, I was spared, and finally a friend was brought in, and I asked for the pen fairy again.
This time is different. Within a few minutes, the flame on the candle next to it has gradually dimmed from yellow light to dark green. Because there was a girl, Huo Xiaolan, who was afraid before, we never closed the door, but when it was a flame After the color changed, the door slammed shut by itself, and I almost let go of my hand in fright.
The surrounding situation is not right. I feel that we may have actually invited Bi Xian. At that time, a few friends were afraid to want to go home, but I knew that if we did not follow the rules of Bi Xian, we might not be able to go back. "
Speaking of this, Gu Lei took a peek at Xu Lang next to him, and saw that he was still listening to the story calmly, there was nothing unusual, so he continued.
"Then it was the set of normal invitations to the pen fairy. I have to say that the pen fairy is really good. I asked if I will be rich in the future, and whether my girlfriend is beautiful or not, things are now fulfilled one by one, but I am opposite. My friend was so scared that his hand was trembling all the time. I was afraid that if he was so scared that he let go, it would hurt us, so I wanted to send away the pen fairy.
I didn't know that I was about to speak when the boy suddenly broke the pencil with force. All of us were frightened. We didn't send away the pen fairy. The pencil broke in the middle to offend the pen fairy. We asked him why he broke the pencil, but he prevaricated that we had cramps, not on purpose.
A few friends tried to open the door but found that the door seemed to be blocked by something and couldn't be opened at all.
Later, we were dead horse doctors and took a pencil again, trying to make amends and ask the pen fairy to leave.
We asked if we could leave, and of course the pen fairy answered, but when we excitedly said, "You are my past life, and I am your current life, can I ask the pen fairy to leave." Suddenly the pencil shook violently and slammed it hard. On the paper on the ground, a few words were written crookedly, leaving one person as a stand-in, and the rest could go. "
Gu Lei sighed and said, "You have also encountered a spiritual event. Knowing the horror of that thing, and if you don't follow its statement, we won't be able to live at all."
Xu Lang understood what he meant. Four of the last five of them had gone, and the one who did not leave was left as a stand-in for the evil spirit of the mansion.
Gu Lei went on to say: "The person left behind was our friend from childhood to adulthood, named Hao Ming. His family conditions were not good. We took special care of him. He broke the pencil when he asked the pen fairy, and we did not blame it. He, in the end, was just looking at his luck. Who knew he was so badly lucky to be selected. At that time, our children were unable to compete with the evil spirits except for running." This passage was extremely sincere, and even the corners of his eyes were a little moist.
"The previous experience was because Hao Ming made a mistake in asking the pen immortal, so he couldn't send the pen immortal away. It's a pity that Xiaodong is dead now, and Fu Jing was killed before he started asking me to ask the pen immortal. So this time I and I If you carefully complete the pen fairy procedure, complete the last step, and send away the evil spirits, there will be no problem."
Xu Lang did not answer him, and the speculation on the outline of the matter and the source of the task was roughly clear.
Originally, there was an evil spirit in the Jingming Building, which killed the residents here and turned the building into a haunted house. Twelve years ago, these five dead junior high school students ran into the building to play the pen fairy. Who knew that the evil spirit was actually invited, but the evil spirit trapped in the building did not want to kill them all. Instead, using the pen fairy's method, leaving a stand-in for it, so that it can leave the building that traps itself.
And the last junior high school student left behind, Hao Ming, became a new evil spirit.
However, there is one thing that Gu Lei said is incomprehensible. That is why the newspaper brought the four people who had escaped from the dead into the mansion again. This thought is probably to arouse the evil nature of the dead Hao Ming and seek revenge on the four of them. , Thus establishing this mission.
Well, Hao Ming, who was left back then, was not left behind by the lottery as Gu Lei said, but he was probably killed by violence, or even directly killed and then left behind.
Thinking that things became clear here, Xu Lang felt that his way of life was never to send Hao Ming away by means of pen immortals, because now Hao Ming has become an evil spirit. Whether he wants to kill or not depends on his mood. It is not the pen immortal ceremony that can control it. Now it is obvious. If you don't take revenge, you will never give up.
Gu Lei looked at Xu Lang still thinking, without saying a word, he was anxious: "At present, there are only two of us in the whole building. There is only one chance. Why are you hesitating!"
Xu Lang looked at Gu Lei who was anxious in front of him and smiled suddenly: "What are you doing so anxiously to ask the pen immortal? Or do you mean that you have other purposes and it will change later?"
Gu Lei was stunned when he heard this, he immediately scratched his head, and said with a smile: "Is there any purpose? This is not a way to get out. Who wants to stay here longer."
Xu Lang put his hand into the pocket on the right and held the knife hidden there: "Oh? Do you think you are the only wise man in the world, and everyone else is a fool? Leave me as a stand-in for the evil spirits, just like you abandoned Hao Ming."
Gu Lei lost a smile on his face and didn't pretend, he took off his coat to reveal his muscles, and looked at Xu Lang's left wrist holding the gauze. "You are right, but it makes you incapacitated. I can also complete the plan. Pen fairy, you can play it alone."
Looking at the muscular Gu Lei, he was actually trained. It is completely different from some of the gyms who rely on nutritious food. Not to mention that Xu Lang has lost a hand now. Even if it is intact, he will not be able to beat it.
Seeing Gu Lei approaching in front of him, Xu Lang actually has another way, but this way is extremely risky, but at this time I am afraid he has no choice. If his mobility is abolished, he will undoubtedly die.
Xu Lang leaned his back against the wall, staring at Gu Lei, and suddenly shouted with all his strength:
"Hao Ming!!!" (End of this chapter)
