Returning from the abyss

Chapter 28 - The Closing

The three people in the passage had their own ferocity, whether it was Uncle Xing's courage to walk down the battlefield, Yu Zhisong's ruthlessness at all costs for an obsession, or Ling Yan's years of martial arts training. Decisiveness is enough to support them to dare to fight back directly in the face of ghosts.

It's a pity that such power is not enough to be the odds.

The invisible ghost is a ghost after all, even if it takes a shot, there is no reaction. After all, there are only a few ghosts that will be physically hurt.

At this moment, Ling Yan also threw away Yu Zhisong, rushed over quickly, and stabbed out with a sword!
click!
Although the wooden sword made another achievement this time, it broke suddenly when it was stabbed. Unexpectedly, Ling Yan bumped headfirst into the invisible ghost.With an angry howl, the invisible ghost let go of Uncle Xing, stretched out his hand, and grabbed Ling Yan by the neck.

"Ah!"

Uncle Xing let out a vague roar, swung the butt of his gun and smashed it down hard, but it had no effect. The invisible ghost had already grabbed one of Ling Yan's arms, and when he was about to bend back, for some reason, he suddenly let go.

Ling Yan in the air fell to the ground and coughed twice, as if he still couldn't believe that he was still alive. At this moment, another ghostly howl came from beside him, and Yu Zhisong jumped up suddenly, his entire left hand turned into a The black ghost claws rushed towards the black mist ghost blocking the road on the other side of the passage!

"Come on!"

The ghost claw surpassed the limit of yin and yang, and pushed the black mist ghost to the ground. Ling Yan immediately pulled Uncle Xing up, and the two quickly rushed past Yu Zhisong and the black mist ghost, and were about to turn around to help At that time, Yu Zhisong's body, which was holding down the Black Mist Ghost steadily, was suddenly pulled back by something, and he immediately became unsteady.

"Hurry up! I can't control them!"

Yu Zhisong let out a howl that he didn't know whether it was crying or laughing, and the ghost claws stretched a little more, pinching the Heiwu ghost between the claws. Siege!

Ling Yan gritted her teeth slightly, turned her head and ran towards the exit of the passage.

But Uncle Xing hesitated for a while, his eyes struggled for a moment, and his hand holding the shotgun seemed to be even stronger.

"Uncle Xing!"

Yu Zhisong let out a shriek, and in the fierce struggle of his still human arm, he managed to take out the mobile phone, illuminating his face.

The ghost-like blood vessels are now almost covering the entire face.

"I'm hopeless! Get out quickly!"

He couldn't say much, but Uncle Xing already understood what this man meant.

Without hesitation, turn around and leave.

At the exit of the passage, when he climbed out again, it seemed like a lifetime away.

However, before Ling Yan could turn around to confirm the situation behind her, she was startled by the light and heat outside. Since it was either rain or cold before, she actually felt that the sudden warmth made her feel very comfortable.

But the thick smoke that followed was very choking.

Ling Yan hurriedly opened the door, and what came into view was a burning corridor.

A large number of houses with wooden structures, coupled with the strange dry environment in the room, although the flames could not sweep the entire main house in an instant, they spread in an orderly manner, as if it had been carefully designed.Ling Yan covered her mouth and nose with her sleeve and rushed to the window in the corridor, checked the landing point slightly, and then leaned on the window to flip out.

The rain chilled people down, Ling Yan wiped off the rain and looked up, and found that there were flames burning behind the windows on the third floor, puffs of black smoke came out of the windows, faintly crying And the roaring sound, straight to the sky.

"Uncle Xing!"

Ling Yan couldn't care about that much anymore, put his hands around his mouth, and shouted at the window on the second floor that he jumped out of.

However, Uncle Xing did not appear at the window.

"He's going to die."

A voice came from behind, and Ling Yan suddenly turned around, only to find that it was Lu Ning who had gone somewhere.At this moment, she has re-bandaged her head, and is still holding an umbrella, looking at the window with blank eyes, standing quietly behind Ling Yan.

This was so abrupt that Ling Yan couldn't help but take a step away from her.

Immediately, Ling Yan saw what Lu Ning was holding in the other hand.

It was a vanity mirror, classical in shape, and looked like it had been taken from somewhere in the main house.

"Uncle Xing... There was something wrong with his internal organs just before, and he couldn't run far, so he will probably stay."

Lu Ning didn't care about Ling Yan's step back, but said these words in a calm tone.

"Yu Zhisong was eaten by the Black Mist Ghost. Before he died, his self-destruct attack also wiped out the Black Mist Ghost. Uncle Xing knew that he was seriously injured, so he didn't intend to drag us down."

After a while, Lu Ning suddenly turned her head, as if she was listening to something, and then said with certainty: "Uncle Xing is dead, but he forced the invisible ghost to violate the restrictions on killing methods, so the invisible ghost was forcibly sent back. Hell... is it?"

"who are you talking to?"

Ling Yan interrupted Lu Ning's words as if she was talking to herself.

"And the mirror ghost."

Lu Ning blinked her eyes and smiled at Ling Yan, but that smile became paler and weaker.

"We failed... Sister Lingyan. All the people the ghost wanted to kill were killed. Those calculations that they thought were useful were actually just a little delay in death. In the end...it didn't change anything."

Ling Yan's eyes moved to the mirror.

"This does not belong to the collection, because it is not a prop that can be used to resist the attack of ghosts. However, it also has a special function."

"...talk to ghosts, eh?"

"Talk to the mirror ghost. Do you still remember when we found the laboratory? I checked the skeleton of the corpse and confirmed that the corpse was a woman. After Sister Yin Lian told me that it was Tang Yuexin, I didn't connect the previous things..."

Lu Ning's sad tone carried a lot of regret.

"I should have gone back and checked what was on the body. Actually... we weren't the first to discover the lab."

The upstarts should be the first to find out. They found the laboratory and Tang Yuexin's mirror, talked to the mirror ghost inside and started the task of creating conditions for the ghost to kill.However, the three of them died one after another after that, which also proved that Li Gui didn't take any agreement seriously.

But what's the point of knowing that now?

"The mirror ghost... is talking to you?"

"You don't need to look in the mirror. It can also talk to people directly, and it almost knows everything." Lu Ning knocked on the back of the mirror, "Unfortunately, I can't confirm how much of it is true and what is not, let's just say that because now There is no need to lie to us anymore, just listen seriously.”

"If that's the case, it's the only thing that hasn't killed anyone yet. Her purpose now must be to find a chance for the two of us to reflect in the mirror, otherwise there's no way to do it."

"It didn't move its hands the next day either."

Lu Ning smiled wryly.

"I killed the upstart. Now that things have happened, I can say that I didn't kill this person wrong."

It was the first time Ling Yan heard Lu Ning say it.

"That's why you said there must be a vacant spot?"

"Yeah... I was expecting more." Lu Ning threw the mirror to the ground, stepped face down into the mud, reached into her pocket, took out Joseph's pen, and threw it out as well.

"When I woke up, what I saw was the corpse of Sister Xu who had bled to death from all seven orifices."

Lu Ning didn't know what happened when she was in a coma. The only thing she knew was that Li Gui seized this opportunity and killed Sister Xu.

That's why she left unsafe messages there.

Later, after finding the mirror from Tang Yuexin's body, Lu Ning quickly left the ground. At that time, her headache and cold seemed to have disappeared, so at such a dark hour, Lu Ning decided to give everyone a clear mark.

She went down to the basement, found the fuel and matches she needed to start the fire, and started setting fires throughout the main house.

The generator had been broken long ago, and thanks to this, they saved a lot of fuel. Lu Ning burned all the way from the third floor to the first floor, and before this time, it was the time when Yu Zhisong led the way back.

It is precisely this staggering that has caused the current situation.

"Sister Ling Yan, let's find a dark enough place to hide until dawn."

Ling Yan was taken aback for a moment, and just about to answer, there was a loud noise above his head.

On the window on the second floor, there was a heavy knocking sound, which was particularly scary in this quiet night. The two immediately raised their heads, only to find a figure appeared on the window.

In the firelight, a figure with twisted arms appeared at the window.He slammed his head on the glass so hard that blood flowed until he caught the attention of the people below.Immediately afterwards, under the astonished eyes of the two, he opened his mouth——

"Run!!!!"

The voice seemed to be mixed with blood, hoarse and unpleasant, but it resounded throughout the manor.

Uncle Xing is not dead yet.

The two people who realized this fact immediately understood, turned around and ran to the distance.

The mirror ghost is deceiving, that is to say...

Before leaving the range of the main house, there was a sound of trampling on the mud, and the invisible ghost rushed towards the two of them!
"Get out of the way!"

Ling Yan and Lu Ning separated one from the left and the other from the right. Lu Ning was a little short and slipped past the invisible ghost, but Ling Yan was grabbed by the arm, and a huge force threw her up and threw her towards the wall of the main house again. outside.

As soon as Lu Ning stopped, she immediately turned her head to help.Ling Yan rolled on the ground to cushion the strength of his fall, when he suddenly bumped into something near his hand.

It was the mirror and pen that Lu Ning had just thrown away.

She looked up and found "people" who had begun to appear indistinctly around her. Uncle Xing at the window had disappeared, as if being dragged away by something.

Lu Ning, who was not far away, was circling with the invisible ghost because she was going back, but her physical condition couldn't support it at all, and she was picked up within two moves.

At this moment, Ling Yan didn't have any room to think. He reached out and grabbed the brush together with a handful of mud, and threw it at Lu Ning with a firm grip.

The perennial practice of martial arts made the ball of mud hit Lu Ning steadily. At the same time, the invisible ghost who grabbed Lu Ning and wanted to kill him couldn't help but let go, letting Lu Ning fall down.

Between this up and down, the army of corpses has arrived.Inside and outside the house, there was a faint siege, and they walked over slowly.

Lu Ning grabbed the mud ball and turned around in astonishment, only to find that Ling Yan was already facing a dead body.

The mud-stained suit and the rain-soaked hair still stood upright between Lu Ning and Ling Yan, separating the two.

Yin Lian's body, holding a mirror in her hand, was facing Ling Yan.

At the same time, two corpses holding mirrors appeared at the window on the first floor of the main house.

"It turned out to be you."

Ling Yan saw his blurry image reflected in the mirror with the help of firelight, but that was only because of the rain outside.More mirrors in the room have clearly reflected themselves.

Naturally, the corpse would not have any answer.

"Sister Lingyan!"

Lu Ning was completely at a loss as she grabbed the mud ball, but Ling Yan's mind became extremely clear at this moment.

"Keep running! Don't look back!"

After shouting the last words in this life, Ling Yan rushed out and quickly smashed the window with an elbow, and stretched out his hand to push a corpse behind the window to the ground, and at the same time, the mirror in the corpse's hand fell to the side.

Dang bang.

Then, there was a sharp pain of splitting in the neck.

……

How long has it been since you escaped?
Lu condensed in a small shed, hugging his knees, his body was cold, and his heart was even colder.

In the end, she couldn't save a single person—she was lucky just to save her own life.

Can't do it.

There was already a faint morning light outside, the rain did not know when it stopped, the air in the early morning began to become extraordinarily refreshing, and even the faint sound of birdsong could be heard.

But no one is there anymore.

Lu Ning moved a bit, her stiff body fell to the ground, and it took a while to get up.I don't know if it was a coincidence, but the place she chose to hide after running into the shed was the handicraft workshop where Ling Yan and Ling Yan first found the wooden sword.

In fact, there is no need to hide at all, Lu Ning is very clear that all the ghosts have used up their killing quotas, and she is already safe.But even so, she didn't want to go back to the main house.

Dragging her weak body, Lu Ning stepped out of the shed.The sky is getting brighter, the ground is muddy and wet after two days of heavy rain, and only the path paved with bluestone slabs can be passed.

Faintly, a bell rang, but before Lu Ning could think about where the bell came from, the sound of a text message came out.

The countdown finally reached zero.
