Chapter 44: The Midnight Bell

"There's something wrong with this room in the first place, there's nothing to fuss about." She walked out of the bathroom and shook the piece of paper in her hand, "I think we might have found a way to start the game." ”

As soon as the words fell, the voice of the "True Demon" prompting the discovery of an important clue sounded again.

Zhang Qiang's eyes widened: "I'll go, it's really God!" ”

Suddenly, everyone gathered around.

Zhao Qiqi opened the torn piece of paper, and sure enough, it happened to match the torn page of the notebook he had just found.

Question's eyes lit up suddenly, and he couldn't wait to urge: "Look at what is written on it?" ”

Zhao Qiqi handed me the piece of paper: "Gao Wei, then you can read it." ”

I nodded, took the piece of paper, and read: "The correct rules for opening the psychic game 'Bloody Mary': First, one person enters the bathroom alone, and no one else is allowed to follow during the period. Second, once in the bathroom, lock the door and turn off the light source. Again, facing the mirror opposite the door, light a rune candle between the person and the mirror. Finally, distracting thoughts, close your eyes, focus on your will, and whisper "Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary" at twelve o'clock at midnight, three times in total. At this point, the sΓ©ance is over, and you will see something you didn't expect......"

"That's about it." After saying that, I put away the piece of paper and looked up at the others: "We've found the candle too, without further ado, let's start the game quickly!" ”

"Wait." Wang Yi suddenly stopped me: "It says that the name of the Bloody Mary must be pronounced at twelve o'clock at midnight, but how can we determine the time now?" ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and they all subconsciously took out their watches or mobile phones to check the time.

As expected, the hands of the watch have stopped turning, the time on the phone has not changed at all, and everyone's time has stood still.

"What a deal! We can't use anything on us, can we still find it in this old suite? Zhang Qiang looked distressed.

As soon as his voice fell, Zhao Qiqi and I thought of something at the same time.

Before everyone could react, the two of us ran back to the living room one after the other.

Looking up at the clock hanging in the middle of the living room, the hands on it were actually moving up and down.

At this time, the time on it was exactly 11:50, ten minutes short of the time required on the piece of paper.

The other four ran over, and following our line of sight, they also saw the time above.

"It's eleven fifty, let's hurry up and get ready to start the game!" Situ Cao walked around the crowd, took out the candle in the small wooden box and handed it to me: "You are the captain of our team, the game is carried out by you, everyone should not object, right?" ”

With that, she looked at the others.

"Of course I don't have a problem." Zhang Qiang looked at me with a grin, as if he was secretly glad that he didn't choose himself.

"It couldn't be better for Gao Wei to go." Wang Yi also nodded.

Du Deming also nodded in agreement.

I took the candle and immediately felt a lot of pressure.

looked at Zhao Qiqi helplessly: "Did you really decide to let me go?" ”

Zhao Qiqi didn't answer my words, she glanced at the clock on the wall: "Time is running out, hurry up!" ”

Unable to explain why the clock in the room, which had been vacant for many years, could still move, several people discussed it and pushed me to the bathroom door.

I smiled bitterly and turned my head to look at the other five people: "Okay, I'll go in first, if there is anything going on in a while, you guys hurry in and save me!" ”

Everyone nodded their heads like pounded garlic.

I sighed, took a deep breath, took the handle, and opened the door.

As the game demands, I went into the bathroom alone.

As soon as I entered the bathroom, an inexplicable sense of oppression came over me.

There was a chill in my heart, and I forcibly suppressed the discomfort in my heart, and I turned off the power.

I pressed the lighter, and with the only light of the fire, I stood in front of the mirror opposite the door, the firelight jumped, and the other two mirrors reflected my seemingly distorted figure, one left and one right.

Surrounded by three mirrors, I unconsciously felt nervous in the dark environment.

It's okay, it's okay, before entering the "True Demon", I have already brought the exchanged armor "Broken Witch Blood Tears" with me, and it should be fine.

I comforted myself over and over again, but my hands didn't stop.

Taking out the lighter that Du Deming found in the kitchen, I lit the candle.

As a rule, I lit a candle engraved with runes and placed it on the edge of the bathtub.

At this point, however, an important question stuck me.

Time!

There wasn't anything in the bathroom that marked the time, so how could I tell if it was 12 a.m.?

Looking at the candle flame that kept beating in front of him, a drop of sweat rolled down his forehead.

Just as I hesitated to quickly walk out of the bathroom and ask the others for the time.

Just listen to the bell~

Three dull bells rang slowly.

I'm a spirit, even if I'm sluggish, and it's the midnight bell.

Twelve o'clock in the night has arrived!

Without thinking about anything else, I turned my gaze back to the mirror in front of me, focused on it, and then whispered, "Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary......"

Call~.

Suddenly, a gust of wind passed through the back of his neck, and the flame of the candle in front of him was blown and shook a few times.

The faucet in the sink and bathtub began to sound at the same time.

Tick, tick......

My heart immediately rose to my throat, and I looked at the three mirrors vigilantly, for fear that something might come out of one of them.

However, after waiting for about five minutes, nothing else strange happened in the bathroom.

Just as my patience was running out, there was a knock at the door.

"Gao Wei, how are you? Are you alright, did something happen? Zhang Qiang's voice came from outside the door.

He glanced at the flickering candle flames, and then swept his glasses.

Eventually, I blew out the candle, pressed the light switch, turned the doorknob, and opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, the other five merfolk entered.

Zhang Qiang was the most exaggerated, he looked around defensively with a bottle of spray-like things, and then walked towards me.

"Are you okay kid?" He looked me up and down carefully.

"Nope." I was a little hairy by him, and I looked at what he was holding: "What are you holding there?" ”

"Hey, the anti-magic spray that you redeemed in the menu! It seems that the evil spirits and demons hate the smell of the spray, so I exchanged it to see how it works. Zhang Qiang said indifferently.

I'm just going to say to the others.

"Gao Wei, did anything happen here just now?" Situ Cao looked at me with concern.

I shook my head and told everyone what had just happened, and there was silence.

It stands to reason that we have already performed a sΓ©ance according to the rules of the game, and this should not be the case now.

Just then, I caught a glimpse of the mirror on my left and slowly oozing red blood.
