Weird Talker

Chapter 153 Dark Suffocation
The moon is getting brighter and brighter.

Qin Manjiang was standing outside Baihong Building with his mobile phone in his hand. He had been waiting for Qiao Ziru's call, but she never called.

What happened to her...

According to the original plan, he had planned to go in with her, so it was a bit important, but he didn't tell her that seeing is believing.

But I never expected that this game blocked other players from the very beginning.

If something happened to Qiao Ziru, Qin Manjiang didn't even know how to face himself.

In the end, Li Xi and Qin Yi were both drawn into the strange talk game because of him.

Not to mention Qiao Ziru. During the upgrade and dormancy of the game, the permanent item named Tongjie actually opened up a backstage, making him the creator of the game and pulling Qiao Ziru in.

Could it be a coincidence?
If Li Xi was the only one around who entered the ghost story game, Qin Manjiang might think it was a coincidence.

But the same thing happens again and again, it cannot be explained by coincidence.

It is inevitable.

It's just that the causal relationship hidden in this necessity has not been found yet.

I don't know how she is now...

Qin Manjiang looked towards the ninth floor. It was 07:30 in the evening. Except for the complete darkness of the ninth floor, there were scattered lights on other floors.

Is there any way to help her from the outside world?
----

The security guard left.

Qiao Ziru held his breath, not daring to pant a little louder.

The ninth floor was extremely quiet, and the blood fingerprints on the elevator buttons appeared on the buttons on the ninth floor. This floor was also the only floor that hadn't been renovated or rented out.

What the ghost was looking for was most likely on this floor.

Qiao Ziru stood there for a long time before she got used to the darkness in front of her eyes. She was not afraid of the dark, but she was afraid of the unknown.

Until now, "ghost" is just a concept for her, and she has never witnessed it with her own eyes.

But these weird situations that happened tonight have made her piece together a rough image of ghosts in her mind.

Anything is at its most gripping when it doesn't show the full picture.

Qiao Ziru knows that the more you think about it, the more afraid you will become, but this is a human instinct, an instinct that is difficult to control. The best way to think about something is not to force yourself to forget it, but to quickly find another thought to distract you force.

By the way... Then think about what the ghost is looking for?

In the darkness, Qiao Ziru groped forward by moonlight.

In the description in the opening remarks, the ghost has been haunting the building for quite a while, but it still hasn't found anything. Is that thing too hidden?

Starting from this idea, Qiao Ziru found it difficult to draw a specific conclusion.

She can only think about it from another angle - what is it that makes him refuse to give up even if he becomes a ghost, and must find it?
The murder weapon that killed him?

Or a lifelong love?
Or... that thing made him very puzzled, and he wanted to find the answer even after death?

Many ideas appeared in Qiao Ziru's head. For example, the ghost may be looking for a mobile phone. Before he died, he was going to send a text message to his girlfriend to propose marriage, but he couldn't do it because of an accidental death, so he became a ghost. wandering around.

Another example is buying a gift but not giving it away.

Thinking about it this way, there are too many things that can be extended.

In this way of thinking, determining the identity of the ghost has become the top priority.

However, after checking the recent news of the Park Hong Building, there was no relevant report of any casualties.

Was it concealed?

If that's the case... where do I get clues about the ghost's identity?
Only by knowing the clues of the ghost's identity can it be possible to understand its story and guess what it is looking for.

I have but one short night, and the dawn is over.

But classmate Qin said that there is always the possibility of clearing the game of ghost stories, and it is impossible for players to enter a dead end.

That said... there must be a way to figure it all out overnight.

what is...

at this time.

At the fire exit where the security guards went down, suddenly there was a voice that made Qiao Ziru's scalp tingle.

"despair--"

"laugh--"

Is it...footsteps?

No...the former is the sound of footsteps, the latter is the sound of dragging.

It sounds like a person walking ahead, dragging a dead body, taking a step, dragging.

Then formed this strange sound——

"despair--"

"laugh--"

The ghost is coming? !

Qiao Ziru covered his mouth, it found it!

Why……

Suddenly, Qiao Ziru thought that after leaving the elevator just now, he did not press other buttons to move the elevator to other floors.

The elevator has been staying on the ninth floor, and this information can be seen on all floors through the display screen of the elevator.

It is only natural to be seen by ghosts.

What should I do... run away?
There are fire exits on the left and right sides of the elevator in this building. The ghost came up from the left side. Is it possible for me to leave the fire exit on the right now?

Qiao Ziru's heart was beating wildly, and she calculated quickly... no.

It can't be done, if this floor has been decorated and the ground is flat and bright, it is possible to take advantage of the gap when the ghost comes and escape from the other side.

But this layer is not only pitch-black, but only some dark outlines can be barely seen by the moonlight, and the ground is also bumpy. If you want to escape like this, you are afraid that you will hit your head badly instead.

Staying on this floor and hiding is the most reasonable way...

Yes, it does not have the ability to sense the player's location, as long as it is well hidden, it will not be found.

Qiao Ziru kept comforting herself, hoping that her pounding heart could calm down a bit.

But the footsteps and dragging sounds that made her scalp tingle, had already left the fire escape and entered the ninth floor!
"despair--"

"laugh--"

It moved very slowly, and in Qiao Ziru's imagination, a ferocious ghost appeared, dragging a dead body to search every corner carefully.

Can ghosts see in the dark?
Qiao Ziru, who had already hid, suddenly thought of this question.

She found a dark place to hide, where even the moonlight could not shine, behind a huge load-bearing pillar.

But... what if the place that I thought was pitch black and should be impossible to find was as bright as daylight in the eyes of ghosts? !

Sweat broke out from Qiao Ziru's head, her breathing gradually became disordered, and her chest rose and fell uncontrollably.

Why is this happening to me...

She is not a person who complains, and her difficult native family has never made her complain, but at this moment, some "why" questions inevitably appeared in her heart.

Suffering is something that... always flocks to people who are already in the midst of suffering.

While thinking this way in her heart, suddenly... goose bumps all over her body!
"despair--"

"laugh--"

The terrifying voice stopped behind the load-bearing pillar she was leaning against.

　good night.
