Chapter 14: Struggle and Redemption

Hearing Ling Yi's questioning, the little girl's eyes bulged out, and her big bulging eyes stared at Ling Yi deadly, and for a moment, she actually pulled out an envelope from behind her: "What you have been looking for, is it?"

What was surprising was that the envelope she took out was completely different from the one in Ling Yi's hand before: on the pitch-black letterhead, large characters like blood were deeply printed on itβ€”Fierce Ghost Order!

"This ......" The cowardly man covered his mouth and stepped back to the edge of the gate. Originally, he thought that Ling Yi's question was just to delay time, but he didn't expect it to be as he said: what the little girl had in her hand was an invitation letter that was completely different from theirs!

"And so it was. ”

Ling Yi looked at the black envelope in the little girl's hand and said with a wry smile: "Although I don't know what your purpose is...... But I'm curious about what kind of temptation can make you, who are also human, do such a ruthless thing. ”

With a sneer, the little girl opened her mouth: "Compared to the points, your lives are not worth mentioning at all!"

"Points?"

"That's right!" the little girl thought for a moment and sneered, "but you don't need to know, because you won't live to the end." ”

The little girl looked at the visible cold air around the carriage, and suddenly her tone changed, and she said regretfully: "You are really smart...... Even the smartest survivor I've ever seen since I entered the manor...... Unfortunately, the 1000 points reward is too tempting, otherwise I could consider having you join our team. ”

Ling Yi looked at the little girl who was talking to herself and stopped responding, although the other party only said a few words, but the amount of information contained in it was so huge for him!

Manor, Survivor, Points, Team...... The appearance of these nouns made Ling Yi feel as if he had entered a strange world, a completely new realm completely different from the real world!

"It seems that this forty-minute time limit is not only a rule for us, but also a ...... for you" Ling Yi felt much more relaxed at this time, the murderer was just a human in a supernatural shell after all.

"During this time, we as survivors need to find a way to survive, and your mission is to kill us every time the lights go out in exchange for so-called 'points', right?"

The little girl smiled evilly and nodded, agreeing with Ling Yi's statement.

"If that's the case, then in the first carriage, she, why didn't she kill us all at once?" the cowardly man began to tremble as he spoke, and the cold made his speech begin to dull.

Ling Yi let out a long sigh and said, "I think it's because the game maker has also set the corresponding rules for her...... For example, each time the lights go out, you can only kill at most one person, and you have to follow a certain logic to perform the task...... This is the order of the seat numbers of the tickets. ”

"Smack, smack, smack......"

The little girl actually began to applaud: "That's a good point...... I'm even a little reluctant to kill you. ”

"Since you are also the executor of the mission, like us, the mystery of the black coffin will naturally be solved. Ling Yi completely ignored the little girl's coy posture and continued, "You want to transport all the bodies of the deceased back to the black coffin, this is also your task, right?"

"That's right, it's the same as in the game, I only need to put your corpse back in the black coffin for the mission decision to take effect. The little girl leaned back with a smile, "Actually, the hardest part of this game for me is the first two lights out, and the time is short, and you all gather together...... Although you alone can't stop me, if my identity is revealed, it will be difficult for me to get all the points. ”

Clenching his fists, Ling Yi said in a deep voice, "So, those key clues that were provided to us halfway are also your tasks?"

"Of course!"

The little girl stretched out her bright red tongue and licked her lips: "I was arranged to enter the train a day earlier than you, not only to act as a killer, but also as a guide...... It's actually tiring, isn't it?"

"But you're also really cooperative, and you're going according to my plan every step of the way...... I don't know your names until the end, but it doesn't matter, I had a lot of fun!"

The little girl looked up at the ceiling and said, "Wouldn't it be nice if I could meet such a script every time...... The rewards are great and the tasks are simple......"

As soon as she lowered her head, the little girl realized that the two people in front of her were gone!

"Do you still have to struggle?"

The little girl gradually showed a strange smile......

Holding the cowardly man's hand and escaping from the seventh carriage, Ling Yi gasped: "According to the previous reasoning, there are only three people left now, as long as we leave the carriage, the judgment of independent time and space should take effect...... She would be trapped inside for days or more. ”

The cowardly man looked at Ling Yi in horror, his eyes reddened: "But what's the point of that...... She is immortal, even if she is frozen into an ice sculpture now, but in our world, the lights will still be turned off in three minutes, and she will still come out to kill!"

"Why don't you calm down?"

Ling Yi grabbed the cowardly man's shoulder and shook it vigorously: "Even if it's only three minutes, it doesn't mean that we will definitely die!"

As if he saw a savior, the cowardly man knelt on the ground suddenly: "What should I do? What should I do, please, don't leave me alone!"

Picking up the cowardly man, Ling Yi muttered, "There must be a way...... ...... by all means."

Sitting at the door of the carriage, the two of them remained motionless for a long time.

The cowardly man looked at Ling Yi, his voice trembling: "Why don't we run separately...... It's better than sitting here and waiting to die. ”

Trying to keep himself calm, Ling Yi clasped his hands and whispered, "We have a total of seven dead, 30 minutes have passed, and there are still 10 minutes left before the train arrives at the final station...... In other words, as long as we carry the lights out twice, we can live. ”

The cowardly man's face turned pale when he heard this, and he said in horror: "How is it possible!"

"Possibly!"

Ling Yi looked at the door of the seventh carriage and said categorically: "The moment the lights go out, it will come out of here...... As long as we can dodge its first attack, we can re-enter the seventh carriage, and then go to the eighth carriage the moment it enters the seventh carriage...... That way, we can freeze it inside in the same way!"

The cowardly man bit his lip and said nervously, "Then what if one of us is caught?"

"Escape...... Leave nothing to chance, just flee to the eighth carriage and wait for the lights to go out. ”

Ling Yi saw the fear in his eyes and comforted him, "Don't be afraid...... My order is before you, even if someone is going to die...... It's also me first. ”

"Okay...... I...... Listen to you!"

After three and a half minutes of rest, Ling Yi felt that his frostbitten hands and feet had recovered some of his senses, and as the lights of the carriage began to flicker, he knew that the time of life and death that truly belonged to him had come!

The lights are out!

In the darkness, a pair of giant hands grabbed the door of the carriage, and then, a huge head poked out of it!

"Big brother...... It's really cold inside...... Lend me your clothes......"

Eerie sounds filled the nooks and crannies of the carriage.

Under the seat, Ling Yi desperately covered the cowardly man's mouth with his hand, and the hearts of both of them beat at a high frequency at the same time.

Biting Ling Yi's finger hard, the cowardly man's pants were already soaked with urine, and tears flowed down with snot.

In the carriage, the sound of heavy footsteps echoed, and the monster lifted the wooden table closest to the door, and its lantern-sized eyes narrowed into a thin line: "Hey, hey, hey, if I catch you, I'm going to peel off your skin......"

Ling Yi's body began to tremble violently because of fear, and he pressed the cowardly man's body to death, for fear that he would make a little noise!

More than ten seconds passed, and Ling Yi heard the door at the other end of the carriage seem to be opened, and the sound of heavy footsteps was gradually moving away......

"Run!"

As soon as Ling said that it was too late, he grabbed the weak coward's hand and got out of the bench and rushed straight to the door of the seventh carriage!

With an exclamation, the cowardly man suddenly fell to his knees...... His legs, limp!

"I've found you!"

At the end of the darkness, a strange laugh sounded, and then the thing actually jumped upside down on the roof of the carriage and crawled towards Ling Yi and the two at a high speed!

Pulling the cowardly man's body hard, Ling Yi was anxious, if he continued like this, he would become the target of the monster's priority hunting!

"If you don't want to die, move quickly!" Ling Yi firmly clasped the carriage door with one hand, but the other hand couldn't drag the weak cowardly man who was already paralyzed by fright!

"I don't want to die...... Woo...... Don't kill me, please, don't kill me!"

The cowardly man had given up struggling, kneeling on the ground and prostrating incessantly.

"The only one who can save you is yourself!" Ling Yi roared, but his arm was like a dislocation, and the pain was piercing!

The sound of metal grinding was already close to his ears, and Ling Yi looked at the endless darkness in front of him in despair, and his heart was extremely sad...... What if the puzzle is solved, even if the murderer is identified...... In the face of overwhelming power, is the truth still so important?

In the darkness, Ling Yi couldn't see the cowardly man's expression, but he suddenly felt light!

In Ling Yi's surprised gaze, the cowardly man pushed his hand away!

"You're going to live...... Run!"

With a crying tone, the cowardly man shouted loudly.

Before he had time to think, Ling Yi gritted his teeth and rushed directly into the seventh carriage, and the miserable cry of a cowardly man came from outside the gate!

As if everything had only happened for a moment, Ling Yi ran directly into the eighth carriage without hesitation and began to silently count the countdown to turn off the lights!

"Big brother, come out quickly!"

The voice of no one or ghost sounded again, and the monster actually chased directly into the eighth carriage of Ling Yizang!

"Hurry up and let me kill you, people want to get off work early and go back to rest!"
