Chapter 240: Despair and Survival
Have you ever experienced despair?
Despair refers to the pessimism when people can't accomplish something no matter what, the decadent psychology that no effort can be fruitful, and the unwilling fear when facing something that cannot be resisted.
Despair is like a wall, a wall that cannot be climbed in the dark, many times despair will make people crazy, cry, grieve and even go to destruction, but there are also a small number of people who are unwilling and try to grope in the dark, groping for the hole in the wall that almost does not exist.
………
Touch! Boom! Syllable!
In a room on the first floor of Halton Manor, the impact resounded non-stop, cold sweat spread all over the body, Zhao Ping and Peng Hu, who were trapped in the room, were both holding stools and slamming the door wildly, the two of them could not be said to have used all their strength, but unfortunately the door had been closed by blood stalks, no matter how desperate the two of them were, to no avail, and even more desperate ......
The door couldn't be slammed open, and the blood scorpion behind him was about to recover from its coagulated state.
Zhao Ping's supernatural camera can only take pictures three times, and he has used all three times in order to delay the mantis, so when he saw that the third photo in his hand was about to disappear, Zhao Ping knew it...... He's finished!
The man with glasses thought that his life was short, and Peng Hu on the side held the idea that he could live for a while, so it was natural that 5 minutes later, the first golden light talisman on his forehead had just turned into powder, and he couldn't continue to slam the door, and in a panic, the bald man once again took out his second and last golden talisman from his arms.
After taking out the last golden light talisman, Peng Hu didn't notice...... Zhao Ping, beside him, changed his eyes the moment he saw the golden light talisman, and his eyes were full of coldness!
(Take advantage of the other party's inattention to snatch the golden light talisman for yourself to use, anyway, there is no binding limit on this one-time consumption prop, and it is effective for whoever sticks it!) )
Yes, this is the only thought in Zhao Ping's mind at this moment, how can he care about anything else at the moment of life and death? Only alive is the final victor.
If people do not do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed.
Just do it when you think of it, for Zhao Ping, who always puts his personal life first, he has never been the kind of indecisive person, as long as he can live, he can do anything and do it without psychological burden, so when the golden light talisman was taken out by Peng Hu, in addition to his eyes were cold, Zhao Ping had also stretched out his right hand and quickly grabbed towards the golden light talisman!
But......
Just as his right hand was now halfway out, just as he was about to take away the spell, Zhao Ping stopped, and his half-stretched hand inexplicably stopped moving.
Yes, it's not that he doesn't want to snatch it anymore, it's not that Peng Hu preemptively uses it, but ......
Looking at the golden rune paper in front of him, in the last second, Zhao Ping inexplicably came up with a promising but uncertain escape method in his mind!
This is also the key reason why he gave up on seizing the talisman, in fact, it is easy to understand, even if he succeeds in snatching the golden light talisman for himself to use, what can he do? At most, he can only live for a few more minutes, and as long as he is still trapped in the room, his final outcome is still death, and since the ending will not change, it is better to use this golden light talisman to make a last stand.
(Hopefully, this approach will work.) )
Sure enough, just as Peng Hu, who was full of horror, was about to put the last golden light talisman on his forehead, Zhao Ping next to him suddenly yelled at him: "Stop!! ”
This roar came suddenly, suddenly, and the sound was extremely loud, which scared Peng Hu on the spot, turned around and glanced at the blood scorpion that was about to recover behind him, and after being puzzled, his eyes turned to Zhao Ping and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”
"Do you want to live a few more minutes and be killed by the moths, or do you want to get out of here completely!?"
Peng Hu didn't expect the bespectacled guy next to him to say such a thing, although he couldn't understand it for a while, but after hearing Zhao Ping's words clearly, he was stunned for a moment, and the bald man still replied without hesitation: "Aren't you talking nonsense?" Of course I want to get out of here! ”
"Okay, since you want to leave, then don't use this last talisman on yourself."
As soon as Zhao Ping said this, Peng Hu's expression became hideous in the next moment, and he said viciously in his mouth: "I grass!" You kid is poisonous enough, if I don't use it for myself, can I still use it for you!? ”
Obviously, the bald man misunderstood Zhao Ping's meaning, but in this kind of race against time, it can even be said that he is racing against death, how can Zhao Ping have time to explain in detail to the other party? The bald man who didn't take care of it scolded loudly, but instead stretched out his hand and pointed to the door in front of him while saying anxiously to Peng Hu: "Quickly paste your talisman on the door and see if you can break the ban!" ”
Peng Hu couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this.
"Hurry! Then the scorpion is about to resume its operations!! ”
Finally, in Zhao Ping's almost crazy roar, Peng Hu suddenly came back to his senses, having said that, the bald man couldn't help but have a doubt in his mind, that is......
Can you still use the Golden Light Charm like this?
However, doubts are doubts, fox doubts are doubts, thinking that the golden light talisman will spontaneously combust only if it has an effect, and thinking of the key point that even if it fails, it doesn't matter, Peng Hu still agreed with the other party's suggestion for the first time, not to mention that he is a person who dares to fight, sure enough, Zhao Ping's voice fell, Peng Hu has already moved, stretched out his right hand, and did not hesitate to stick the golden light talisman to the door.
Next, the unthinkable happened:
Crash!
As soon as the golden light talisman touched the door, in an instant, a large piece of golden light burst out of the rune paper in an instant, and it spontaneously combusted!
The golden light charm is burning, doesn't that mean...... It works!
Not only that, but just as the golden light talisman that was attached to the door burst out with dazzling golden light, the third photo in Zhao Ping's hand also disappeared completely, and at the same time, the blood scorpion behind him also happened to regain its ability to move at this moment!
"Ahh
It can be said that the spontaneous combustion of the golden light talisman and the recovery action of the blood scorpion occurred almost in the same second, seeing the effect of the spell, seeing the blood scorpion recovering, let out a frightened scream, Peng Hu moved, Zhao Ping moved, and the two of them slammed into the door with all their strength.
Bang dang!
With a loud bang, this time the door was knocked open! Peng Hu and Zhao Ping both rushed to the door and jumped into the corridor, and the blood mantis followed closely behind!
Everything happened in a short split second, and the two of them narrowly slammed open the door and ran out of the room before they were touched by the blood scorpion.
"Wow, ah!!hhh
Dada!
There was no need for anyone to urge or remind them, mixed with screams, mixed with fear, as soon as they ran out of the room, Zhao Ping and Peng Hu, who knew that there were blood stalks behind them, could not say that they were doing their best, at this moment, the two of them ran wildly, like two madmen who crawled along the corridor and ran forward, all of them were extremely embarrassed. As mentioned above, all this is quite anti-locked, in fact, from Peng Hu taking out the golden light talisman to accepting Zhao Ping's proposal to paste it on the door, to hitting the door and running for his life, the whole process happened within half a minute, and in the process of escaping, neither Peng Hu nor Zhao Ping dared to turn back, so they both gritted their teeth and ran wildly.
It is worth mentioning that during the run, when he arrived at the exit of the corridor and entered the living room, Zhao Ping, who had finally escaped from the room, instinctively turned to the door of the building, which was a matter of course, and he was lucky not to die now, and now he has no courage to continue to stay inside the building, and it is only right to escape from the building as soon as possible, who would have thought ......
Just as he was about to turn around and run towards the door, a big hand suddenly stretched out beside him grabbed the man's arm, and then, whether he wanted it or not, the man with glasses could only be forced to change direction under the forced pull of the thick arm, and the owner of the arm ran to the right side, running to the stairs leading to the second floor.
And the owner of the arm is Peng Hu.
(Dog's Talk!) Does he want to run again? Dream! )
At this moment, Peng Hu was dragging the man with glasses while running towards the 2nd floor, and he yelled desperately during the run:
"Quick! Fast! Everybody get out of this building! This house, this house can't be left behind!! ”
………
The time is back to 5 minutes ago, the time, and the evening.
Halton Manor is indeed a very beautiful manor, as a marquis's residence, the interior is not only full of artistic architecture, but also planted with a large number of ornamental flowers and plants, under normal circumstances, whenever the evening comes, the sun sets, by the afterglow of the setting sun, the manor is often covered with a layer of golden light, this is a kind of beauty, this kind of beauty is usually only enjoyed by the Marquis de Mel's family, but it is a pity......
It's a pity that today is different, very different, for some reason, as the time gradually enters the evening, the sunset beauty does not appear, but instead the sun sets early and the dark night that quickly covers the manor, no one knows why this scene is so abnormal and no one understands what it means, but for the people who are in the manor, for the few remaining living people at the end......
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, and even a crucial night that will determine the life and death of everyone.
The night was dark, the black made people palpitate, and the black made people shudder......
Corridor on the third floor.
"Mr. Butler, you, you said that this manor was the private residence of Prince Auphili more than 100 years ago?"
"Yes, you Orientals don't know the legend of Prince Auphili, but in the hearts of many people in Europe, especially in the hearts of many British, the five words 'Prince Auphili' is a name that is difficult to forget, even now, many elders still vaguely remember this person."
Yes, at He Fei's request, as the oldest in the crowd and the old butler who has served the old marquis for most of his life, Domus opened the conversation, relying on his memory, the old man told He Fei what he knew about the past, and truthfully told him what the past of Halton Manor was, as for He Fei, he thought that even if the manor was weird in the past, he would have enough ability to accept it, but as soon as the old butler spoke, He Fei first heard it was not a strange or a legend, but he learned a strange name that he had never heard of......
Prince Auphili.
Who is this? Or is this the first owner of this Halton manor?
