Returning from the abyss

Chapter 25 Proof of Powerlessness

If she had to make a self-assessment, Lu Ning was the kind of person who would do a lot of preparatory work in order to hit the first hit. This was her own opinion.There seems to be an aversion to uncertainty in her character.This does not mean that Lu Ning will not take risks or make attempts similar to gambling, but it affects her choice of action.

"I understand."

She doesn't know which of herself and everyone is the way to make more people survive, but she won't hold on to what has happened.

"The attack of the ghosts this morning was just a test. If I guessed correctly, they were also waiting for the last two companions, and then caught us off guard."

"They also plan?"

"They have been calculating us all the time, from the beginning of acting as a substitute for ghosts, to using the information released to us to spread discord. There is no doubt that ghosts know our progress, otherwise the information will not appear to be so 'just right' every time cause confusion."

Lu Ning took out a chocolate bar from her pocket, peeled it off and put it in her mouth.It was getting closer to noon, and she was cold and hungry now, and her wet clothes were sticking to her body, which made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

But there are still twenty hours...

"We still have to prepare for the evening. Remember, if you feel dangerous, go to the laboratory. The door there can at least provide a little resistance... However, there is only one way to the laboratory. If you want to go in, you must be mentally prepared."

"Don't worry, no one can sleep." Yu Zhisong joked, and also took out food.

Everyone prepared emergency food in their pockets early in the morning, and this day is probably going to pass like this.Lu Ning ate slowly, analyzing the actions of the ghosts in her mind.

The actions in the morning were not without flaws. Even if one or two people were killed, Lu Ning would not be surprised. However, the nine people had nothing to do.

"They want to kill at night?"

In the worst case scenario, the ghosts are just trying to play with humans, so it is more reasonable to take away everyone's hope before the time comes.However, Lu Ning subconsciously felt that it was wrong to think so.

That stand-in ghost... is very problematic.

It tells a lot of lies that are easy to break, and it can be said that it is nonsense from beginning to end, but if one or two facts are mixed with it, it will make people completely uneasy.

Confused.

afternoon.

Nine people sat around the table, not daring to leave half a step.As the flames on the hand of decay turned blue, everyone's spirits were lifted immediately.

Yu Zhisong quickly summoned his own ghost, and the air was suddenly cloudy and cold, making one shiver uncontrollably.A cloud of shadows suddenly emerged from under the table, and at the same time, a black mist began to seep from the ceiling.

Full attack!

"Stop it!"

The black shadow that was about to be ejected was intercepted in mid-air by something, and the first round of killing intent was quickly stopped, but then, the wall began to creep slowly, and the sound of someone's footsteps sounded on the floor.

"They're all here!"

Hong Zehao shouted.

"They are covering the attack of the two new ghosts, flee immediately!"

It's not a very good idea for everyone to gather together. Providing ghosts with multiple choices will only increase the death rate, but on the other hand, only in this way can people who hold collections take care of each other.

New ghosts... Shi Song and Pang Lingling died almost at the same time. Now this attack can be said to be the most powerful surprise attack of ghosts, and it is the first time so far that four ghosts appear in such a lineup at the same time.

Lu Ning quickly escaped from the main house, but at this moment she suddenly found that everyone was running in different directions.

"Wait! Where are they?"

Only Ling Yan and Uncle Xing ran out after them, and the rest stayed in the house!

"Yu Zhisong has gone upstairs, Uncle Hong seems to have run away to the backyard..." Ling Yan glanced back hastily, "There is no time to talk about this! The shadow ghost has come out!"

"It's not the key question—"

At this moment, Lu Ning suddenly saw a figure standing in the distance in the hazy rain, with one hand in his pocket, the other raised up, and waved at himself a few times.

"Who!"

"Stand-in ghost!"

Ling Yan and Lu Ning yelled out one after the other, the shadow was too blurry, but who else can wander around leisurely outside now?
"Come up!"

The three rushed towards the figure without hesitation.The figure also seemed to be provocative on purpose. When he saw someone chasing him, he turned around and ran away. He ran out of the range of the villa building and rushed into the jungle.

"Are you still chasing?" Ling Yan paused slightly.

"What we have on us is enough to kill it! Chase!" Lu Ning kept walking, but someone grabbed her wrist immediately.

It's Uncle Xing.

"Uncle Xing! When the stand-in ghost is on the order, it's our chance! If we don't take advantage of it now..."

Uncle Xing quickly let go of his hands, gesticulating with both hands, and Ling Yan beside him immediately translated: "There is no way to enter the forest, beware of fraud."

Lu Ning glanced at the forest with some reluctance, the figure was still standing vaguely in a place that could be seen clearly, as if to lure her to rush in.

"...You are right." Lu Ning wiped the rain off her face, suddenly remembered something, turned her head to look behind her, where is there any shadow ghost chasing after her?The surrounding area is peaceful except for the rain.

An ominous premonition welled up in my heart.

"No, let's go back first!"

However, in most cases, those who rush back like this will find that it is too late.

Just when they approached the gate, the three of them saw the woman in the couple kneeling at the gate in despair. The rotten hand had been thrown somewhere, and the expression on the woman's face was dull and desperate, even if someone came back Nothing happened.

"Sister Xu, where are they? What happened?" Ling Yan knelt down and softly comforted her.

"He... he... put on a mask, and then he was... captured."

The woman spoke a few words intermittently, then turned her head to Lu Ning slowly, showing a miserable smile: "Obviously we have persisted until the last day, obviously we have all done what you said... Why do people still die? Why is it him? what?"

"Because he wants to save you."

Lu Ning's voice was a little stiff.

"Wearing a mask and being spotted at close range attracts a lot of hate, and if there's only one ghost, he'll keep you safe."

When the woman heard this, she suddenly burst into tears.

"If you don't want him to die in vain, tell us which ghost it is that captured him."

Although she knew it was inappropriate to ask now, Lu Ning knew that there was no time.

"Wall, in the wall..."

"Okay, please cheer up, otherwise it would be meaningless for him to lay down his life to save you."

Lu Ning glanced at her. Just now, the appearance of many ghosts had lowered the temperature in the room to a bone-chilling level, and it still hasn't improved. She hurriedly worked with Ling Yan to pull up Sister Xu. At this moment, there was a sound of falling upstairs. sound.

Half of Gongsun You's body was splattered with blood, and his old face had lost any color. He lay in a state of embarrassment between the stairs on the second floor and the first floor, and he stretched out his hand tremblingly and shouted to the people downstairs: "Well, That young man was killed by the shadow! Killed!"

Zhang Fuyuan's last apprentice also seemed to have not been able to escape this catastrophe.

"What about the rest?"

"I, I just saw Xiao Yu, chasing in one direction, saying that he saw a double ghost and wanted to catch him..."

Gongsunyou pointed tremblingly at the second floor. Uncle Xing walked up the stairs and helped the old man down, and sat down on the chair again. Lu Ning looked in that direction and felt a slight movement in his heart.

"Yu Zhisong saw the substitute ghost?"

"He, that's what he called."

Indeed, if it is a method to deal with double ghosts that kill upon contact, in addition to immobilizing the body with painful memories, the directory of summoning spirits is also a method of arresting ghosts without contact. We also discussed this issue last night.

"Then what did we see?" Ling Yan asked this question.

Lu Ning clenched her fist and slammed the table hard: "New ghosts, new ghosts also have entities... Our discussion last night was overheard, and they used us instead!"

"Anti-use?"

"Use our sense of urgency to hunt down the double ghost, dismantle us at the critical moment, and then kill people!"

Lu Ning looked up and looked around, and realized this problem.

"We are under the supervision of the ghost, the mirror ghost... can know what happened to us! So it follows us at any time, not only preparing to kill, but also delivering news!"

"Then what chance do we have of winning?" Sister Xu answered blankly, "The information is not equal... What chance do we have for struggling?"

"There is...the second floor, the camera." Lu Ning gritted her teeth and walked upstairs, "I set the timer recording for the camera, and if you don't activate the past shooting mode, it can still record in the normal way. Now we will Go and see if the substitute ghost in that corridor is real!"

In the past, the consumption of the camera in the normal way was relatively low. Lu Ning had already reset the shooting time before, and everything that happened within an hour before was recorded.

Hong Zehao and Yu Zhisong disappeared, and the five of them took the camera downstairs and began to check first.

The small playback window of the camera is not big, except for Ling Yan who is standing next to him to guard against the ghost attack, the other four adjusted to the time of the ghost attack and began to playback the passage in the corridor.

Although the light is dim, perhaps because it can shoot ghosts, the image in the camera is very clear.

The first thing that appeared was a neatly dressed figure, neither fat nor thin, walking in a very relaxed posture, with only one back.But even if it is a back view, everyone can recognize that it is a doctor.

"It's really a stand-in ghost..."

"No, we still need to look at the front face." Lu Ning adjusted the progress of the screening. At this time, everyone should still be in the hall downstairs. The doctor walked to the corridor on the second floor near the stairs in the hall, made a gesture, and then went into a nearby room.

Within a minute, the doctor came out of the room again, this time walked to the railing on the second floor, poked his head slightly into the hall, then turned around and went back to the room.Immediately afterwards, Yu Zhisong rushed towards the corridor, followed by a clearly visible unknown mass, probably did not expect the ghost to hide from people, Yu Zhisong ran directly to the camera lens, and the stand-in ghost waited until Yu Zhisong ran past Just got out of the room and disappeared around the corner of the corridor.

Immediately, probably because he realized that he was not tracking correctly, Yu Zhisong ran back again. Just at this moment, the doctor showed up from the other end of the corridor again. After discovering Yu Zhisong, he immediately went to the room where Zhiqian was hiding, and Yu Zhisong also chased him. go in.

"...Let's go and see that room."

Lu Ning stood up, suddenly her eyes blurred, she stumbled and staggered, but luckily the people around her were tight so that she didn't fall down.
