The SAN value is reset to zero on the spot.

A chill rose from the tail vertebrae, straight to the Tianling cover, Zhang Yuanqing was like a fried cat, jumping high in place, and blurted out a national scolding:

"the mud horse!"

This is the unconscious vocal instinct of people when they are strongly stimulated or frightened.

He finally knew why his shoulders were so sore, and why the corpse by the window had to carry a bronze mirror with him.

This is to see if you are lying on your shoulder by the spirit.

When did it lie on my shoulder, when I walked into the courtyard, or when it entered this room?

Who gave me the courage to go out and explore, Liang Jingru?!

The brain seemed to explode, all kinds of thoughts came out in an instant, and panic hit like a frenzy.

Although he knew that there were strange and terrifying things in this temple, and he had been prepared for a long time, he still felt an indescribable panic when he really faced the ghosts.

By the way, I have a ...... Zhang Yuanqing took out the yellow paper talisman in the left pocket of his jacket with a trembling hand, and pasted it on his shoulder as a dead horse doctor.

Syllable!

The corpse talisman was patted on the shoulder, he lifted the brass mirror, and carefully shone it, the man with a pale face, black lips, and a pair of dead white pupils was still lying on his shoulder.

It's useless, it's not a corpse thing......... The last trace of luck was gone, Zhang Yuanqing felt that his shoulders were getting more and more sore, and his hands and feet were cold.

These are not illusions, they are real yang energy loss.

At this moment, Zhang Yuanqing thought of the corpse at the bottom of the table in the main hall, and the senior who died tragically under the window, and next, he was likely to die here like the two of them.

A chill welled up in my heart.

"Dada!"

Suddenly, at this critical moment, there was a slight sound of footsteps in the corridor outside.

The footsteps were light, but in the silence of the night, they were very clear.

....... Zhang Yuanqing's heart sank, and he quickly squatted down and squatted next to the corpse under the window.

The footsteps were somewhat familiar, similar to the sound he had heard when he entered the temple.

"Da Da Da ......"

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, walking towards this side, Zhang Yuanqing didn't dare to breathe, his whole body was tense, and he vaguely heard his frantic heartbeat.

When the footsteps passed by the window, Zhang Yuanqing still couldn't hold back, and glanced at the floor of the room, the moonlight shone in, forming a lattice window shadow on the ground.

The window was not high, only to his waist, and at the height of a normal person, passing by the window, he would definitely be reflected on the ground by the moonlight, but he didn't see anything.

This shows that there is no body for things passing by outside the window.

Fortunately, the footsteps passed by the window, did not stop, did not enter the house, and gradually faded away.

Call....... Zhang Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief silently, concentrating on the sound of distant footsteps, and heard it stepping into the yard and making a "rustling" sound of trampling on the wild grass.

Then it stopped, and after a few seconds, the footsteps sounded again.

This time, the footsteps are not simple walking, but stepping with a certain pattern and rhythm.

What is it doing in the yard?

Zhang Yuanqing supported his cold body, stood up with a little difficulty, and looked out through the tattered window paper.

Under the moonlight, in the wild grass, a pair of brand-new, Western-style red dancing shoes are tap-dancing in the night.

Moonlit night, deserted temple, red dancing shoes, solo dance.

This scene looks both absurd and weird, but also revealing an unspeakable ....... Lonely?

In the mountain temple of the Ming Dynasty, how could there be a pair of Western-style dancing shoes?

This ruined temple is getting weirder and weirder....... He quietly crouched back and waited patiently.

As the minutes passed, the resentful spirit lying on his shoulder continued to grab his yang energy, his body stiffened more and more, and the soreness in his shoulder turned into a stinging pain.

He felt that if he continued like this, he would either die of exhaustion of yang qi, or die of injuries from broken shoulder bones.

In the agony, the dance in the courtyard disappeared.

Zhang Yuanqing still didn't dare to raise his head, and waited for a while before cautiously probing his head and looking into the courtyard through the window.

The courtyard was filled with moonlight, the grass stood silently, and the strange dancing shoes were gone.

"Hoo ......."

He let out a breath of turbid breath with relief, and just as he tried to stand up, his knees sank and he fell to the ground.

After the tense nerves relaxed, the adrenaline subsided, and he realized that he was in a worse state than he had imagined.

The shoulders were stinging hotly, the bones seemed to crack, the knees stiffened, and the blood seemed to coagulate.

tremblingly grabbed the bronze mirror, and in the gray mirror, Zhang Yuanqing saw that his face was pale, his expression was sluggish, and his pupils were dim. Where is this a normal person, it is clearly a sick seedling with a dry lamp.

On his shoulder, the black-lipped spirit stared at him strangely and silently.

If he continues like this, he will surely die, but what can he do? He will not be able to touch the spirit on his shoulder.

The intense pain in his shoulder bone forced him to lean his back against the wall to support his body.

Looking sideways at the corpses of the workers' predecessors, the posture of one person and one corpse was exactly the same.

"So that's ......," Zhang Yuanqing smiled bitterly.

It was as if he saw his own end and heard the sigh of death.

But Zhang Yuanqing did not give up the desire to survive, his brain is still active, like an overloaded CPU, looking for hope to survive in a desperate situation.

In the midst of the lightning and flint, the corpse under the table in the main hall flashed in the chaotic flow of information.

"The degree of shoulder bone cracking of the two corpses is different, the shoulder wound of the corpse in the main hall is not fatal, the shoulder spirit on the shoulder let him go? No, the spirit of the body cannot show mercy to ......"

"Why did he hide under the table.......

"The red dancing shoes secretly followed me when I entered the temple, but when I entered the main hall, it left ........"

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuanqing's dim and cloudy pupils lit up with a light of hope.

Go back to the main hall, go back to the main hall immediately!

He immediately got up and staggered out of the room, each step was difficult, as if he were carrying a mountain.

"Poof!"

He fell in the yard and fell in the grass and could no longer get up.

Zhang Yuanqing's teeth trembled and collided up and down, making a "click" sound, feeling that he was in the cold winter.

The "bitter cold" robs the heat and erodes the will.

Zhang Yuanqing crawled towards the direction of the main hall little by little, exerting all his strength, he held his head high, so that his eyes always reflected the outline of the building in front of him.

So that the hope in the eyes will not be extinguished.

It was only about a minute to walk from the main hall, but at this time, it felt like the end of the world and the cape.

Finally, the moment he climbed into the corner of the eaves of the main hall, an illusory scream sounded in his ears, his shoulders were light, and the negative effects such as coldness, dizziness, and stiffness disappeared in an instant.

Zhang Yuanqing climbed onto the pedestal, staggered around to the front of the main hall, pushed open the lattice door, and threw himself into the threshold.

Candlelight is like a bean, dispelling the haze and bringing warmth like a spring breeze.

He lay on the ground in a large shape, his chest heaving and wheezing, and he lay like this for two or three minutes before he felt that he was finally alive.

"It's horrible, it's horrible....... My speculation was correct, the main hall was a safe haven. ”

Based on the difference in the injuries on the shoulders of the two skeletons, he judged that it must have been something that prevented the wraiths from pursuing the man in the temple.

And the workers under the table curled up and died, which is in line with a person's hiding mentality in times of extreme fear.

In the heart of this senior worker, the main hall is safe.

And the red dancing shoes gave up the chase for him, which verified this speculation from the side.

For the rest of the day, Zhang Yuanqing stayed in the main hall until the pain in his shoulder subsided and his body temperature returned.

Sure enough, he was never in any danger again.

"If the main hall is a safe house, then my hope of survival will undoubtedly be greatly increased, even if the resentful spirit on my shoulder sucks my essence again, I can escape back to the main hall. But if I encounter a resentful spirit and am chased by red dancing shoes, I don't think I can escape back to the main hall.

"And the weirdest and most terrifying source of this temple is definitely not just a resentful spirit.......

He was not complacent because he had resolved a life-and-death crisis, this ancient temple was not so simple.

You know, before him, a whole construction team died here.

After resting for a long time, he gradually let go of his fears and was hesitating whether to continue to go out and explore.

The voice in my head sounded again:

[Main quest 1: Survive for 3 hours (completed)]

[Main quest 2: Explore the spirit realm of No. 0079, progress: 20%]

[Yuan Shi Tianzun, congratulations on completing a main quest, and you are settling rewards .......]

[Obtain Item/Item: Corpse Charm (can be viewed in the inventory.] 】

[XP Gained: 15%]

[Inventory unlocked.] 】

[You will be given a 36-hour break, and the next time Spirit Realm 0079 opens: 35:59:40.] 】

The scenery in the main hall was twisted like the surface of the water crumpled by the wind.

When the picture was clear again, Zhang Yuanqing saw the bright energy-saving lamp, the spacious bed, the desk, the PS5 game console, and the open window, the wind blew in, and the curtains shook slightly.

He returned to earth.

"Coming back?"

He looked around in amazement to make sure he was back in the room, and then his knees went limp, and he threw himself on the floppy bed.

I took a deep breath and felt that the air was sweet.

It's good to be alive, it's so good to be in the world.

After slowing down for a few minutes, Zhang Yuanqing sat up, pulled down the zipper of his jacket, and found that the corpse suppression talisman was indeed gone.

Zhang Yuanqing naturally came up with the idea of "taking items", and the next moment, a fluorescent blue lattice appeared in front of him.

There are five squares in total, and the first grid is lying on the yellow paper symbol.

It's a wonderful experience, when the inventory is unlocked, this function seems to have become his instinct, and he doesn't need to learn it, he naturally knows how to open the inventory.

"In addition to the Zombie Charm, I also gained 15% experience points, but the level is still zero, which means that I haven't become a Night Wanderer yet, and I'm still an ordinary person. ”

"Surviving for three hours almost made me die in it, how do you do the second mission? Is this S-level difficulty.......

The more Zhang Yuanqing thought about it, the more desperate he became, feeling that he had been cheated by Brother Bing.

This broken card can indeed change lives, but it is also really difficult to control.

He is very self-aware, he is just a college student who has never even killed a chicken, and it is difficult to survive on his own in the second subsequent mission.

As a young man with good roots in socialism, he must rely on the state and the government at this time.

So he took his mobile phone and was about to dial his cousin's number, but when his finger touched the phone screen, he suddenly paused.

Because Zhang Yuanqing thought that he might have a better choice.

Immediately turned over and got out of bed, and found the business card left by the man with the big back in the drawer of the desk.

The business card has your name and contact details written on it.

What happened tonight reminded him of Brother Bing's mysterious disappearance, if he didn't come out alive, then he also disappeared mysteriously.

It is certain that Brother Bing has long been in contact with the so-called spiritual realm, so his disappearance may have entered a certain spiritual realm?

According to this idea, the investigators of the Sheriff's Department are credible.

Another reason why he chose to contact the man with the big back was that the other party said that he might also be missing, which was specifically to imply that he would enter the spiritual realm.

Combined with the fact that his cousin didn't know, Zhang Yuanqing had reason to infer that the three people were special personnel who specialized in dealing with similar incidents.

After thinking clearly, Zhang Yuanqing dialed the other party's mobile phone according to the number on the business card.

The beep rang for a few seconds, and the phone was connected on the other side, and a deep voice of a mature man asked:

"Who?"
