Chapter 130: Death in Horror
The time period has entered the fourth day of the supernatural mission, but for now, the reincarnators are becoming more and more nervous, because two more guards were missing last night, and a maid was missing this morning, and at present, if you count them in the manor, the actual number is only a dozen or so...
This shows a problem, anyone who cares will find that the frequency of skeleton ghosts' attacks on the living has increased, according to He Fei's personal guess... Before the seventh and final day of the Paranormal Quest, the Skeleton Ghost will kill all living people in the entire manor.
So, it's time to solve this paranormal event!
At this moment, the reincarnators are gathered in Zheng Xuan's room...
Just now, Zheng Xuan told the rest of the people all the information she had obtained from Grace last night, but after Zheng Xuan's information was finished, most of the people were surprised by Grace's dream, but no one could fully understand the meaning of that dream.
Having said that, He Fei never thought so, so the next moment he told his personal guess...
"I don't know what the other Grace in the mirror is, but you all seem to think that the man behind Grace is a skeleton, right?"
After He Fei finished speaking, he looked at everyone, and most of the rest of the people also nodded slightly, in their opinion, unless Jessica was lying, this was a very clear thing.
But then, He Fei asked a question that most people didn't consider...
"So, who is the identity of the skeleton man dressed in aristocratic costume that appeared in Grace's dream?"
This time, He Fei's words made the rest of the people wonder a little, ghosts are ghosts, do you still have to investigate their identity?
However, without waiting for the rest of the people to answer, Zheng Xuan on the side said thoughtfully, "He Fei, do you remember that Earl Houghton once mentioned his father?" ”
As soon as Zheng Xuan's words came out, He Fei nodded frequently without hesitation, so the next moment Zheng Xuan said to everyone in an affirmative tone, "So according to my guess, the skeleton of the man dressed in aristocratic clothes that appeared in Grace's dream is the father of Earl Houghton, and it is also Grace's grandfather!! ”
As soon as Zheng Xuan's words came out, except for He Fei on the side, everyone else showed a look of surprise, and Zhang Hu also looked at Cheng Ying and Zhao Ping left and right, and asked Zheng Xuan the question in their hearts for the rest of the people, "Then how did you know?" ”
Feeling the gaze of everyone, Zheng Xuan did not hesitate, but directly said her analysis...
"That's because the skeleton man in the dream didn't hurt Grace."
"First of all, Earl Houghton said before that his father, the old earl, has been dead for several years, and this first point proves that this person is dead and has the conditions to become a ghost, as for the second point, if the skeleton man in the dream has nothing to do with Grace, then why did he reach out and stroke Grace's head? And why did Grace feel a familiar aura from that skeletal man? Have you ever thought about it, although from his hand he may be a skeleton, but stroking his head is in most cases something that elders will do to juniors, although Grace in the dream woke up because she was afraid that he was a skeleton, but from the above detail I can vaguely guess... The skeleton man should be Grace's relative, and it just so happens that the old earl is dead, so the inference that the skeleton man is the old earl is also established. ”
Zheng Xuan's analysis of this passage is the Tao, and it is also basically consistent with the speculation in He Fei's heart, he is worthy of being the captain, and his analytical ability is really outstanding, but unfortunately... While there is nothing wrong with Zheng Xuan's analysis, she seems to have overlooked a crucial issue.
However, as the saying goes, three stinkers are the best of Zhuge Liang, and this sentence is not just talking, so after Zheng Xuan's words were finished, Cheng Ying, who had been sitting silently next to He Fei on the left side, immediately asked another question.
"So that means the skeleton man in Grace's dream is the skeleton ghost who is now slaughtering in the manor?"
Cheng Ying's question was just asked, but this time Zheng Xuan didn't answer it immediately, so at this time, someone must be wondering, isn't Cheng Ying's question pure nonsense? Since the old earl is a skeleton man, then since it is a skeleton, it is natural that the skeleton ghost who is now wreaking havoc in the manor is not the old earl?
But... This seemingly natural inference has a very big loophole, and it is also a problem that He Fei has been thinking about before, that is...
Since the old earl is the old master of this manor, the earl is his son, and the earl's family is also his closest relatives, so if the old earl is a skeleton ghost, then why did he attack this manor, although the current deaths are all some guards and subordinates, but after all, they are all his former subordinates, why did the old earl do this? There's also the fact that there's no guarantee that the skeleton ghosts won't attack the Count's family next time!
This is why when Cheng Ying's question was asked, even the wisdom of Zheng Xuan and He Fei could not give a positive answer, because it was difficult to understand!
Of course, Zhao Ping, the glasses man who had been silent for a long time, seemed to have just thought of this question, but he seemed to have been focusing his thinking in another direction, so after seeing the silence at the scene, the next moment Zhao Ping first pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and then said in a puzzled tone, "I once read the history of the nobility in classical Europe and found one thing, that is, when the head of a noble family dies, he will designate the next successor, and after the death of the ruler, according to the default rules of the nobles, His portrait would have been hung on the walls of the family hall by his successor, but when we arrived at the manor, I did not see the portrait of the Earl's father, the previous Earl, in the hall on the first floor. ”
Although Zhao Ping's words sounded like they had nothing to do with whether the skeleton ghost was an old earl or not, after his words came out, He Fei, who was caught in a blind spot in the analysis, suddenly found a breakthrough! Because He Fei also suddenly remembered that there really didn't seem to be a portrait of the old earl in the living room, because there seemed to be not many other objects on the walls of the entire living room, except for the most mirrors of different sizes...
However... What the people in the room didn't notice at the moment was... In the mirror about half a person tall hanging on the wall behind them, an image was slowly showing up... After a few seconds, the image was completely clear, it was a skeleton with a cape...
"Hearing you say this, I really remember that there really don't seem to be any oil painting photos or anything in the living room on this floor, if the aristocratic rules you said are true, then this is a very valuable clue for us!"
But the next moment, the skeleton ghost not far from everyone quietly floated out of the mirror, and the skeleton ghost after coming out immediately floated to the top of the people's heads, and it only took a few seconds to float to the blind spot of everyone's perspective! That is, the top of the head!
As for the reincarnators, because they are all focused on thinking and analyzing things, no one notices the skeleton ghost above their heads, or rather... Who would have thought that so many people would still be attacked when they get together?
Then, the skeleton's two bone claws grabbed the Heavenly Spirit Cover of Xu Hui and Cheng Ying below... However, Cheng Ying and Xu Hui, who were selected by the ghosts below, didn't notice it at all!
So... The next second... The two bone claws of the skeleton ghost fiercely grabbed the Heavenly Spirit Cover of Xu Hui and Cheng Ying at the same time!!
Zhang Hu, who was sitting opposite Cheng Ying, and Zhao Ping, who was sitting opposite Xu Hui, also showed extremely frightened expressions when they caught Cheng Ying and Xu Hui Tianlinggai with their hands above!!
Of course, Xu Hui, who suddenly saw Zhao Ping sitting opposite him, showed an extremely frightened look, and at the same time, he also noticed that the top of his head seemed to be grabbed by something! So Xu Hui hurriedly raised her head reflexively...
As for Cheng Ying, the moment he just felt that something seemed to be in contact with the top of his head, and even the moment when Zhang Hu on the other side didn't have time to show any expression, in an instant, a burst of dazzling blue light suddenly emitted from his body as the center!
At the same time! At the moment when the skeleton ghost's bone claws grabbed the two of them, the skeleton ghost's ghost hand also jerked upward!!
Puff!!
Immediately afterwards, Xu Hui's human head was completely separated from his body in just one second! And the head appeared in the right hand of the skeleton ghost in the blink of an eye! However, at the same time, the skeleton ghost's left hand seemed to be burned by something, but the moment the hand bone caught Cheng Ying's head, it was violently bounced to the side by the blue light emitted from Cheng Ying's body, and at the same time, Cheng Ying in the next moment instantly rushed towards his back desperately and avoided the second attack of the ghost claw!
Seeing Xu Hui's head suddenly disappear and Cheng Ying slamming to the ground, it wasn't until this moment that most of the rest had just reacted!!
That's because don't look at the description just now is very complicated, but the above descriptions almost all happened in just one second, so because the ghost's attack speed was too fast, it didn't take until Xu Hui and Cheng Ying were attacked for a second before everyone reacted!
And when everyone just reacted, the blood spurting from the neck cavity of Xu Hui's headless body had already splattered Zheng Xuan and He Fei, who were closest to her, and at the same time, Xu Hui's human head, which still had a puzzled expression, had already fallen into the hands of the skeleton ghost floating above!!
Poof! It wasn't until the second second that Xu Hui's headless corpse fell to the ground violently after a violent convulsion!
"Ahh!!h Run!! ”
Seeing this terrifying scene and the sudden appearance of the ghost and killing a person in just one second, when the third second came, everyone who completely reacted was frightened! During the period, I don't know who shouted, and the frightened people suddenly fell into chaos, and then everyone also ran desperately towards the door of the room!
Bang!
But it's a pity that just as they were about to run to the door, with a bang, the door of the room automatically closed in an instant, and Zhao Ping, who had just run to the door, couldn't open the door no matter how he pulled it!
Similarly, Zhang Hu, who was going to climb the window, was also terrified to find... The iron windows were closed!
In other words, now this skeleton ghost has blocked all their escape paths!
This skeleton ghost... I actually want to take these reincarnators to the pot!!
And so in the fourth second after the demon attacked them... The skeleton ghost, which still didn't say a word, actually floated directly towards the people near the door this time!!
"Ahhh!!hhh
Seeing the ghost floating, the frightened crowd screamed, and then scattered again, but unfortunately now the entire room has been completely sealed by the ghost, so now the reincarnators have no way to escape no matter what! Only the dying struggle can be done in this closed room!
They have become turtles in an urn...
So, when everyone dispersed in the room, the skeleton ghost didn't seem to be afraid of them running away at all, so the next moment the skeleton ghost floating in mid-air rushed towards its chosen target again!
The target turned out to be Zheng Xuan, who had just run to the edge of the bed!
"Run!!"
Seeing this, both Zhang Hu and He Fei couldn't help but let out a roar! At the same time, they all ran towards Zheng Xuan, but unfortunately, because the speed of the ghost was too fast, the ghost had already rushed in front of Zheng Xuan after only a second!
And when she saw that the ghost's bone hand was about to grab her body in the next moment, Zheng Xuan's pupils, which had been staring at the skeleton ghost, suddenly contracted, and then at the moment when the bone hand was still a few centimeters away from touching Zheng Xuan's body, suddenly! Zheng Xuan's whole body suddenly burst out with an extremely dazzling white light, and at the same time, a circular five-star array also appeared under her feet, but this burst of white light came and went quickly, and when the white light disappeared in the next second, in the blink of an eye... Zheng Xuan disappeared directly! At the same time, the ghost's bone claw also grabbed an empty one!
However, at this moment, the rest of the people around had no time to guess what was going on, because at the moment when the skeleton ghost grabbed the air with one claw, the skeleton ghost that had just turned around immediately turned towards the nearest ... He Fei floated away!
Because the speed of the ghost was so fast, He Fei didn't have time to make any dodge moves! He could only watch as the ghost's bone claws got closer and closer to him!
However, just as the ghost floated towards He Fei at a very fast speed, He Fei, who was staring at him and waiting for death, suddenly felt a figure next to him appear next to him, and then two powerful hands grabbed his body, and then the person who grabbed him rushed to the right side with him, and at the same time that the two of them just fell to the ground, the skeleton ghost also appeared where He Fei was standing just now!
The Skeleton Ghost's attack speed is too fast! Even fast people can't react at all! Originally... Even if they don't rely on sneak attacks, skeleton ghosts are more than capable of killing them directly and easily head-on!
To be continued...
