Lu Yanli took out the talisman that he had kept close to his body. This was the talisman that the Taoist priest had just given him.

Three people, one per person.

He didn't care about so much anymore. He held the talisman nearly a foot away from his forehead, trying to dispel some of the blood mist in front of his eyes. With his other hand, he took out his cell phone. He lowered his head with difficulty and turned on the flashlight, so that he could open his eyes and see the things around him clearly.

After walking for so long, until their legs were numb, they actually... stayed where they were.

When I looked up, the bright red "4" was still in the distance. Even through the thick blood mist, it still appeared clearly on the snow-white wall.

They knew there was a problem a long time ago, but due to their ostrich mentality, no one dared to raise it.

As long as they can just waste time, preferably until two days later, they can be temporarily relieved.

Lu Yanli slowed down his breathing again. He identified the direction, waved away the blood mist that was almost condensed into lines and tried to drill into his eyes, then stumbled and climbed up the railing.

Aren't talismans supposed to drive away evil spirits? Why... did he feel even more dizzy

He glanced at the time displayed on his phone.

It was already past two o'clock, and apart from the little light from the mobile phones in the corridor, all that could be seen was darkness and scarlet.

What about the other two people

My head felt even more dizzy.

The way out, what exactly is the way out

Lu Yanli grabbed his own neck and hit himself hard. After a while, the feeling of suffocation made him sober. He shook his head, took out the last ticket left in his pocket, put it in front of his eyes, and waved it twice.

Both together are better than either alone, right

The next moment, the ticket was terribly hot and the talisman began to burn in his hand. The flame seemed to have some other function and instantly dispelled a lot of blood mist, and a dark space without blood mist suddenly appeared in front of him.

Taking advantage of this moment of brightness, he finally saw the other two people.

Li Fangzhi stood quietly in the corner. The talisman given by the Taoist priest was stuck on her forehead at some point. Her whole body was stiff and her skin was sunken. The moment the light came on, her head slowly turned, and the pair of eyes behind the talisman looked over through the thin blood mist.

She has changed.

He Lou was in better condition. He squatted on the ground, trembling constantly, as if trying to suppress something. Lu Yanli stumbled back and patted him on the shoulder.

He Lou paused and turned around.

A faintly blue face was smiling foolishly.

Very good, there is still hope.

Lu Yanli beat him up without mercy and snatched the talisman from his hand and tore it into pieces, which made him wake up.

This is why he had to exclude some people first - if those idiots were still there, they would never be able to be helpful, but would only be a burden!

"There's something wrong with that Taoist priest." Lu Yanli took a breath and pointed at Li Fangzhi who had completely turned into a zombie in the corner. He Lou understood immediately and felt a chill in his heart.

Almost... He was almost going to stick this talisman on his forehead.

After the talisman was removed, they didn't know if it was an illusion, but the concentration of blood mist around them decreased a little. They could sense that the mist was drifting towards the area where Li Fangzhi was, and slowly sank into the talisman on her forehead.

Lu Yanli reached out and touched Li Fangzhi carefully.

The latter's body was stiff, felt like metal, and began to emit a rotten smell. Lu Yanli growled at He Lou, "Why don't you come and help quickly?"

The two men carefully moved Li Fangzhi to the front of the elevator room, and thinking that the little ghost should have left, they pressed the switch.

After a while, the elevator creaked up and the child inside was still there. He raised his head, his face turned blue, and he grinned at the two of them, jumping up and down as if to jump out.

Lu Yanli pushed Li Fangzhi in, pressed on the child, and quickly pressed the button.

Before the elevator door closed, he could still see the child's resentful and ferocious eyes for a moment.

"Let's go." Lu Yanli pulled He Lou.

This time, the two of them went upstairs more smoothly and arrived at the door of Room 405 smoothly. Lu Yanli took a step back and pushed He Lou into the door first.

Before He Lou could curse, he was frozen by the sudden arrival of ice. A chill surged from the soles of his feet, and his blood seemed to have solidified.

Lu Yanli asked him loudly: "How do you feel?"

It took He Lou a long time to come back to his senses. He was no longer able to be angry. After looking around for a while, he said tremblingly, "The floor... is not right..."

"Are you cold?"

He Lou nodded and said "hmm".

After waiting for a while and seeing that there was nothing unusual about He Lou, Lu Yanli followed him into Room 405.

My first reaction was that I felt cold, so cold that I was shivering.

The chill that rose from the soles of his feet was as if he was locked in a refrigerator. Lu Yanli was still free to think: Could this be the refrigerator of the zombie

“Look… look for it.”

It was just cold, and Lu Yanli felt he could still bear it. He identified the direction in the dark, wrapped himself tightly and walked into the house.

It was pitch black, difficult to see. He Lou trembled as he took out his cell phone and turned on the flashlight.

The moment the lights came on, both of them froze in place.

On the wall, ceiling, table, chair, refrigerator, coffee table...

They are all covered with posters of a woman!

On the forehead of the woman in each poster, there is a talisman with a yellow background and red patterns. Silky red threads are stuck between the talismans, and brass bells are hung on all four corners.

"We can't touch it anymore..."

If they accidentally knocked off the red string of the talisman, or accidentally touched the woman's face, the consequences would definitely not be what they wanted to see.

So the Taoist priest who hinted that there was no danger in the building was also lying to them, right

Way out… Where is the way out

Where do they find the mezzanine

Lanzhiyu Oceanarium.

Junior Sister Li escaped and ran all the way in this direction. Before she left, her uncle gave her another brass bell. Now, both flying zombies were hers. She lay on one of the flying zombies and let them take her over.

She already knew that her senior brother had placed a puppet in that apartment. This puppet was used to collect flesh and blood to supply to Lan Zhiyu.

If we can control the puppet, maybe we can delay it for a while until our uncles and aunts arrive!

She ran very fast. Behind her, the young man, who had completely transformed into a green-faced and fanged boy, chased her relentlessly. He caught up with her a few times and she could almost smell the strong stench coming from him. Behind her, there were groups of people who were in a daze with silly smiles on their faces.

In room 405 of the apartment, He Lou and Lu Yanli cautiously retreated to the door.

The room and the living room were all covered with posters and talismans, and if they were not careful, they would break a thread. They decided to retreat outside and think of a solution. But the moment they stepped out of the door, the blood in their bodies seemed to freeze.

The corridor was pitch black, and the flashlight on a cell phone illuminated a pair of shoes.

Those shoes look familiar.

The light moved upwards and illuminated the face of the figure. It was Lai Fangzhi.

She stood there quietly, her cheeks completely sunken, her face blue, and her arms stretched out stiffly.

But the talisman on her forehead that was supposed to restrain her disappeared!
