"How could this happen? The evil spirits have clearly prioritized attacking Gu Lei, and even I was not attacked by the evil spirits first. This shows that my guess of the way of life is correct, but... But why did he still refuse to let me go? ??"

"Could it be that as long as the dead end is triggered, there is no second chance to escape..."

Xu Lang's heart sank to the bottom. An ordinary task seemed to him difficult to accept. Feeling that the death downstairs was approaching, Xu Lang felt a little ridiculous. He obviously took the initiative to come into contact with supernatural events and kept saying that he wanted to find the truth. Look for evil spirits.

But when the evil spirit was close at hand, Xu Lang was frightened... His body trembled uncontrollably, and he couldn't stand up a little.

Is this human instinct? No matter how deep the obsession, how cold the character is, you will feel fear and be at a loss when facing death.

The footsteps are getting closer, and the evil spirit is not in a hurry this time, but Xu Lang's heart is more oppressive, because he is no longer sure to face the evil spirit.

"Give up? I can't fight this kind of thing at all. An evil spirit that didn't show superpowers from start to finish has pushed me into desperation several times. I have tried my best. What else can I do.... .. "

"No, no. I finally entered here. I am very close to the truth of the death of my parents. Villa 13 is obviously a newspaper mission. If I give up at this time, then my 18 years of hard work will be all wasted. There must be other ways to survive!"

At this time Xu Lang had seen a pale, bloodless hand appearing on the handrail of the stairs below.

The evil spirit seemed to perceive Xu Lang, who was waiting for death, but at this time he fled upwards again. He took this living person as an evil spirit for lunch, and immediately chased after him. The speed this time was different from before. If Xu Lang saw it, he would show a shocked expression.

This almost surpassed the limit of human speed. Xu Lang obviously heard the changes in the rhythm of the footsteps downstairs, his complexion changed, and he burst into the fastest speed in his life, sprinting quickly. Remember URL

"Life... All the clues have been thoroughly analyzed, what else has been missed!"

Xu Lang suddenly rushed, and a flash of lightning flashed across his mind, and he finally remembered what was wrong.

When I was on the 13th floor, I no longer continued upwards, but turned around and pushed open the iron door of the stairs.

Yes, now all the clues have been thoroughly analyzed. Only the room on the 13th floor where Huo Xiaolan led him into. All the doors of the entire building are closed and cannot be opened by external force. There is only the innermost room on the 13th floor. Can enter.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. This room is a clue that Xu Lang has not paid attention to. Go in, go into that special room, and another way of life must be there.

Xu Lang had never ran so violently before. Sweat kept slipping from his forehead. His body was already thin and he lacked exercise. After running for a while, he was already exhausted, and his speed became slower and slower since he got out of the stairs.

Xu Lang, who had not dared to look back, knew that the evil spirit was behind him, gradually approaching, and realizing that his physical strength was a little bit unable to keep up, he gritted his teeth and threw off the backpack, and then accelerated the sprint.

The corridor on the 13th floor was much longer than he had imagined. At this moment, there were still ten meters away from the innermost room, and the metal handle on the door could even be seen shining brightly in the moonlight.

This gave him great encouragement. At this time, Xu Lang urgently needed psychological hints, suggesting that he could live in the room and give himself a hope to support his exhausted body.

Five meters, three meters, one meter... Xu Lang straightened his only right hand, only a few centimeters away, he could touch the handle and open the door.

But at this time, Xu Lang's scattered long hair was firmly grasped by both hands, and was pulled back fiercely. The entire head was pulled back by a huge force close to 90 degrees, and the bones could even be heard. "Pool" sound.

Xu Lang almost grasped the handle, but was dragged out because of such a pull. The evil spirit caught up.

In fact, if at the speed of the evil spirit, Xu Lang would have been caught in less than half of the corridor, but humans always burst out unimaginable power in desperate situations, causing the evil spirits that were already extremely close to be thrown away again.

At this moment, humans cannot be compared with evil spirits. Xu Lang realized this the moment he was caught by his hair. Almost the moment he was dragged a step back, Xu Lang took out the knife in his pocket again, not looking at it. Behind, grabbing straight back, he was holding it on the back of a cold hand.

Xu Lang's heart was stunned, without any hesitation, he cut directly, of course it was not the hand of the evil spirit, he would be pulled off his neck directly if everything kept going, but a strand of hair held by the back of that hand.

With a scream, his hair fell to the ground, and Xu Lang instantly regained his ability to move. He pounced on the door while turning the handle with his right hand, and loaded his entire body into the room.

Xu Lang, who fell to the ground, glanced at the room, and immediately saw a female corpse, Huo Xiaolan, who fell to the ground not far away.

No, she is not dead, because her chest is still slightly up and down. The left wrist was empty, the blood had stopped dripping, and his face was pale, it was obvious that he had lost too much blood and passed out.

Xu Lang finally realized what was wrong, because these four people weren't dead yet! Huo Xiaolan, who was possessed, was only pulled off by the evil spirit to trap her with her left hand, but did not kill her.

As for why... Xu Lang didn't have time to think about it. The way of life was right, but he didn't complete it. As long as he killed Huo Xiaolan, who was in a coma before him, the crisis would be resolved.

Xu Lang lost too much physical strength, and he crawled towards Huo Xiaolan's direction, but at this time the evil spirit chased up again, Xu Lang who smelled the corpse smelled nothing about it. He had only one thought, kill! He can live by killing Huo Xiaolan!

He is very close to Huo Xiaolan now, and within a second he can grab Huo Xiaolan and stab it to end it all.

But at this moment, the evil spirit once again caught Xu Lang who fell on the ground, his right foot was firmly locked and he could no longer take a step forward.

The right foot was different from the hair, and the evil spirit would never give Xu Lang time to cut his right foot.

Xu Lang's body was about to be lifted upside down by the evil spirit. Once it was lifted, Xu Lang could only let it be slaughtered and there was no room for resistance. At this critical moment, Xu Lang stood up the knife in his right hand, ruthlessly Hardly plunged into Huo Xiaolan's right arm.

The evil spirit slowly lifted Xu Lang from the back, but Xu Lang held the knife tightly, secretly forced towards the diagonal, and at the same time raised Huo Xiaolan's right arm.

At this time, an extremely strange scene appeared. A rotten evil spirit was holding a man upside down. The only left hand of the man was holding a knife. The knife hooked a comatose woman, and she was also slightly affected. Lift up.

Although Xu Lang didn't have his left hand, he still had a mouth. He bit on Huo Xiaolan's raised right arm, his teeth pierced into the flesh and blood, and he could feel biting on the bone.

Huo Xiaolan's eyelids **, the piercing pain almost woke her up, but in the end he couldn't open his eyes. Xu Lang's teeth trembled and his head was sweaty, but he didn't dare to let go. The knife in his right hand was pulled out. Makes the importance of the mouth increased sharply, almost unable to support.

This time it happened in less than two seconds. The evil spirit held Xu Lang's legs in both hands, trying to tear his body apart just like killing Gu Lei. But the knife in Xu Lang's hand fell first, and it was piercing into Huo Xiaolan's heart, blood was splashed, and a few drops sprayed into Xu Lang's eyes.

Suddenly, Xu Lang felt the strength on his legs disappear suddenly, and his whole body hit the ground with a plop. He felt a sore nose when his face was on the ground, but the knife in Xu Lang's hand did not stop, and he continued to move towards Huo Xiaolan's. The heart is pierced.

Huo Xiaolan was too dead to die. Xu Lang turned his head and saw that there were no traces of evil spirits in the entire room, and the suffocating corpse smell disappeared, as if he had never been here before.

Everything seemed like a nightmare, but Xu Lang's blood all over her body indicated that this was reality, and he really escaped from the dead.

Xu Lang's first mission, the mission performed alone, was extremely dangerous and was on the verge of death several times, but he survived ten minutes before the end of the mission.

The nosebleeds kept flowing, dyeing the front of the front red, but at this moment Xu Lang didn't have the energy to wipe it off. He was exhausted. He leaned against the dead Huo Xiaolan, breathing in fresh air.

With his trembling right hand, he took out the pocket of his shirt on the right. After pressing the lighter several times, he couldn't catch fire. He had no strength at all. He threw the cigarette case away and gave up the idea of lighting a cigarette.

Xu Lang closed his eyes and sighed at the beauty of being alive. At this time, a cold voice rang in his mind: "Executive employee, Xu Lang. Solve the supernatural task ahead of time, complete the report and return to the newspaper."

This mechanical sound seemed to Xu Lang.

Xu Lang took out his portable recording pen, and then the last time he recorded everything he had experienced before completing the report. Originally, he still had some questions about Jingming Building, such as Huo Xiaolan next to him. But Xu Lang thought for a while and didn't dare to wait, then he thought: "Submit the report and return."

A white light sprayed from the inside of Xu Lang's body, lighting up the entire room, and Xu Lang's figure instantly disappeared in place.

At this time, five or six employees were sitting on the sofa in the lobby of the "Russian News Agency". There were still a few minutes before the end of Xu Lang's mission. The two people sitting on the table also made a bet on this matter.

Yan Yan, looking forward, stood tall and handsome in the middle of the hall, with anticipation in his eyes. He Xiao rubbed his hands beside him and waited anxiously, but no one knew if he was acting in a pretentious manner.

Not long after, white light flickered, and a figure covered with blood and a crippled left hand appeared in the hall out of thin air.

This appearance caused everyone on the sofa to boil. One of the two people who used Xu Lang to bet before, a short but obese young man who was most excited, jumped up from the sofa and yelled: " I, Cheng Guoguo, can never be wrong in seeing people, so I just said he can survive. You guys give money soon!"

Aside from the performance of everyone, Xu Lang appeared in the middle of the hall and did not immediately get up, because he found that his body had changed, his left wrist was numb, painful and itchy, and he fixed his eyes to see that his severed left hand was slowly bleeding. Here, within two minutes, the left hand was intact as before, and I squeezed it hard and found that I was able to control it freely, just like before.

"Any injury caused during the mission, as long as you have a breath, it will be automatically repaired when you return to the newspaper." Yan Yan on the side looked down at Xu Lang and slowly explained the situation.

He Xiao stepped forward to help Xu Lang up, and gave a thumbs up: "My brother is amazing. The first time I participated in the mission, he could really survive the task alone."

When Xu Lang heard this, he waved his hand and responded briefly. He Xiao then said, "Just after performing the task, you should take a break. I will go to your room to introduce the rules of the newspaper."

Xu Lang nodded and turned his gaze to Yan Yan. He remembered that Yan Yan had something to say to him before the mission began.

Yan Yan saw Xu Lang looking at him, but shook his head, "You just returned, come to 204 to find me after you rest." After speaking, he turned and went back upstairs.

Xu Lang nodded to the people around him looking at him as a greeting. After getting rid of He Xiao's support, he returned to his room and got ready to sleep.

There was no one in the hall, He Xiao's honest smile disappeared suddenly, and his expression was gloomy and whispered softly: "Xu Lang, it's not easy." (End of this chapter)
