Chapter 112: The Land of Life

The basement of the castle...

At present, Xu Hui's state can be described as terrified to the extreme!

Because since the invisible black shadow ghost left before, Xu Hui thought that he would breathe a sigh of relief, but he didn't expect that every once in a while, the ghost would return to this slaughterhouse to inspect again, and also moved some corpses in the process of patrolling, and then divided the corpses!

Yes, don't look at this incomparably dark basement Xu Hui can't see, but her ears are not deaf, and at this moment... The sound of some kind of hard object smashing the corpse from a position in front of it was so harsh!

Syllable!

A corpse that had been dead for a long time was dragged away from the pile by the black shadow, and then placed the body on a dilapidated table not far away, and then the black shadow grabbed a hammer out of nowhere and slammed it into the corpse's head, and the corpse's head burst like a smashed watermelon in an instant!

And at the same time let out an extremely crisp - pop!

Therefore, although Xu Hui, who was hiding in the pile of corpses, could not see it, she could still know what the terrible ghoul was doing.

Some people may say, since that ghost is breaking corpses, what does it have to do with her Xu Hui?

That's because... The place where Xu Hui is hiding happens to be the place where the most corpses are piled up in the entire hall, so every time the ghoul is dragging the corpse near the pile where Xu Hui is hiding, then what Xu Hui is most afraid of is...

Who knows if the next time the ghost is dragging the corpse, the next one will choose to hide in the pile of corpses!?

This is a frightening idea, and at the same time, it is also the most realistic idea, because the next moment, Xu Hui heard... The ghost, who had just smashed a corpse with a sledgehammer, walked towards the pile of corpses where she was hiding!!

Da... Da... Da...

Da... Da... Da...

............

After He Fei tiptoed to the first floor, he first looked around with the help of the dim candlelight, and also listened to the movement, after making sure that there should be no axe ghosts in the back hall, the next moment he walked towards the corridor connecting the back hall to the castle hall...

After passing through several rows of light stands, He Fei finally came to this corridor again, and the reason why he came here again was because he always felt that the answer to the location of the secret passage in the basement... It must be among those paintings in the cloister!

Yes, He Fei has always thought so, since he can find clues about ghosts from the first three paintings, then he still believes that he can also find the answer to the location of the dark passage to the basement there, because the first floor is very large, and it is not realistic to look aimlessly, not to mention that in the process of searching, he has to always worry about the axe ghost who has been wandering on the first floor!

So when he came to the cloister again, He Fei cheered up and first carefully observed the surroundings, gritted his teeth after making sure that there was nothing abnormal, and then seemed to have made up his mind... In the next moment, he pulled out a cat's eye flashlight!

It's not that He Fei didn't learn his lesson, but the entire corridor was too dark all around, although it couldn't reach the point where he couldn't see his five fingers, but if he didn't use a flashlight, he couldn't see the details of the fourth painting at all, and the last time he just had time to take a look at the fourth oil painting with a flashlight, he was interrupted by the sudden attack of the axe ghost, so this time he had to look carefully no matter what! That's why He Fei had to take a second risk!

Smack——!

Under the illumination of the pillar of light, the fourth painting was finally clearly displayed in front of He Fei's eyes, and naturally, He Fei's eyes began to look at this oil painting carefully.

The picture in the oil painting is still all dark, there is nothing but black, seeing this, He Fei's brows wrinkled into a Sichuan character... He was a little incomprehensible, how could this be?

Then He Fei moved the light pillar of the flashlight away from the fourth painting and planned to look at the other paintings, but the next moment, He Fei suddenly noticed... When the strong flashlight light moved away from the completely dark painting, the next second, a symbol glowing white appeared in the center of the black oil painting!!

He Fei was taken aback, but then he understood, it turned out... It turns out that the symbol in the center of this fourth painting is painted with a special luminous pigment, which usually blends with the black around the picture, but when it is illuminated by strong light, the pigment that absorbs the light will automatically emit white light when the strong light leaves!

And at this moment, the white light in the picture formed a symbol, and it was also a very understandable symbol, He Fei understood it instantly, that is, an arrow pointing to the ground below!

I didn't expect the location of the basement to be directly below this painting!

.............

When Zhao Ping walked to the staircase leading to the third floor from the second floor in a frightened mood, he slowly raised his head and looked at the corridor above...

Looking at the black corridor in front of him, he really wanted to go in and didn't want to go in, he wanted to go up because he wanted to stay in the corridor simply, and as for not going up, it was because the corridor was just passing by...

After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Ping raised his feet and walked up the stairs, but the next second... His leg on the first step couldn't move anymore...

Because I heard a sound of footsteps coming from upstairs!

Hearing this, Zhao Ping not only did not be afraid, but on the contrary, he instantly smiled, because he knew... Ghosts don't enter the hallway, so isn't it the one who is going downstairs now...

..............

It's over....!

With the sound of stones rubbing, He Fei finally removed the stone slab hidden under the carpet under the oil painting in the cloister after using all his strength, and then a square entrance and exit appeared in front of him.

As far as the eye can see, there is a staircase leading to the ground below the entrance, but only a small area of the entrance staircase can be seen, and further down there is a palpitating darkness.

Seeing this, He Fei, who was squatting at the entrance, was a little entangled, yes, after all, He Fei is also a human, but people have fear when facing unknown things, so he is struggling whether to go down, he clearly knows that there is a ghost in the basement, and it is a ghost that he doesn't know at all, in case... In case of...

But... Although it is in case, but what if Zheng Xuan and they are in the basement...?

(Yes, I can't hesitate anymore, the more hesitant I am, the more scared he is!) )

Thinking of this, the next moment, He Fei stepped on the stairs at the entrance without hesitation, and then walked down resolutely...

............

"Zhao Ping!?"

When Zheng Xuan, Cheng Ying, and Zhang Hu had just gone down from the third floor to the second floor, they were surprised to find that a person was standing at the top of the stairs and watching them silently.

Immediately, the flashlight of several people shone over, and after seeing the appearance of the people downstairs, the three people who had just come down were shocked, but they didn't expect Zhao Ping to be standing there!

At the same time, after Zhao Ping saw that the people who came down were actually these three people, the next second... Zhao Ping's face was a little ugly.... It can be seen that his expression is very annoyed at the moment, but don't get me wrong, Zhao Ping's ugly face is not for himself, but for He Fei, who has already gone downstairs!

(He Fei, He Fei, this is really unpredictable, you and I never dreamed that Zheng Xuan, Cheng Ying and Zhang Hu would stay together, right?) I didn't expect them to be concentrated on the third floor! )

That's right, the reason why he thinks so in his heart is because of his Zhao Ping's personal opinion... In the entire reincarnation team, only the veterans will have something worthy of him and He Fei to risk finding, so when He Fei was talking to Zhao Ping about looking for it separately, Zhao Ping was more entangled, but finally agreed, and it was all because of Zheng Xuan, Cheng Ying and Zhang Hu, as for the other newcomers, if they saw it on the way to find the veteran, they would tell him the location of the life path by the way, if they couldn't touch it, forget it, as long as they could ensure that the core members of the team knew the location of the life road, If he found the veteran on the third floor, then he would definitely not continue to take risks to find a new person.

Therefore, when he saw that the last few seniors had gathered, Zhao Ping's face became more and more unsightly, and at the same time, he felt more and more remorseful for He Fei, since Zheng Xuan and the three of them were on the third floor, it meant that there was no one in the basement at all! Even if there is, it is at most a newcomer, in Zhao Ping's opinion, a newcomer is not worth risking to save a person like He Fei, who is extremely valuable in the team, of course... He knew better that He Fei didn't know if there were any veterans in the basement at all.

After looking at Zhao Ping's face in front of him, Zheng Xuan, who was standing between Cheng Ying and Zhang Hu, naturally saw something from Zhao Ping's expression, and then he asked Zhao Ping, "Zhao Ping, why are you here?" And also... Did something happen? ”

After hearing Zheng Xuan's question, Zhao Ping nodded, but then said directly to the three people in front of him, "How can I talk about it here for a while, I want to tell you one thing at the moment." ”

"Oh? What's the matter? ”

After hearing Zhao Ping's somewhat cautious words, Zhang Hu behind Zheng Xuan was also suddenly interested, so he asked casually.

"As for the survival of this supernatural mission, that is, in this game of hide and seek, this castle is the safest place to hide!"

As soon as Zhao Ping's words came out, the three people on the opposite side were immediately startled, so then Zheng Xuan hurriedly asked, "Where is it?" ”

Next, Zhao Ping stretched out his finger and pointed to the stairs behind the three of them and said, "That's it!" ”

The three of them couldn't help but look back in the direction Zhao Ping's hand pointed to... Then Zheng Xuan, who turned his head again, said suspiciously, "What do you mean... Staircase!? ”

"Yes, yes! The staircase is the way to survive this paranormal mission, and at the same time the safest place, if you don't understand, I can explain it to you. ”

Subsequently, Zhao Ping told Zheng Xuan and the three of them all about the number of floors of this ancient castle, the fact that each floor has a ghost and the characteristic abilities of ghosts on each floor, as well as the way to avoid and why the stairs are absolutely safe.

After listening to Zhao Ping's explanation, Zhang Hu's face was overjoyed, and then he showed an expression of sudden realization, and then he opened his mouth and said with a smile, "!" That's what happened.,I said damn it, I was fine when I kept running around on the third floor.,But as soon as I stopped to rest, I was immediately attacked by a ghost.,That's what happened! Now, let's just hide on the stairs and stay up until dawn! ”

However, when Zhao Ping's words were finished, Zheng Xuan said that her heart was also relieved, but the next moment, her face changed slightly, and she asked Zhao Ping with a puzzled face, "These things... Did you analyze it? ”

After Zheng Xuan finished asking after saying this, Zhao Ping immediately shook his head without hesitation and said, "Hehe, I don't have that much ability, everything I told you above was told to me by He Fei." ”

That's right, Zhao Ping didn't hide He Fei's credit, and directly told Zheng Xuan all the truth, because for Zhao Ping... As long as he can live, everything else doesn't matter, and he doesn't even care what others think of him.

After listening to Zhao Ping's explanation, Zheng Xuan first glanced at Zhao Ping, and then nodded silently, if Zhao Ping directly said that it was all analyzed by himself, then Zheng Xuan's next step seemed to be to consider whether he should use some means against Zhao Ping, but when Zhao Ping unreservedly gave all the credit to He Fei and did not describe even a trace of his own role at all, Zheng Xuan knew... Zhao Ping... It really seems like it's just about living.

However, when He Fei was mentioned, Cheng Ying, who had been silent next to him, changed his face instantly, and then he hurriedly walked in front of Zhao Ping, stared at Zhao Ping's eyes and asked, "So... What about He Fei? Now that you know the safety of the stairs, why didn't He Fei stay with you? Where is he now? ”

Cheng Ying's question is naturally the question that Zheng Xuan and Zhang Hugang want to ask now, and the eyes of the three of them are once again focused on Zhao Ping at the same time.

After feeling everyone's gaze, Zhao Ping was still expressionless, and then raised his hand to support the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and replied lightly, "He went to the basement, go to save you." ”

To be continued...
