Chapter 17: The Dilemma
Now, the five households are afraid to move forward and do not dare to flee.
After all, if you escape, who knows if it will turn into a situation of shooting a bird in the head. Everyone wants to die for someone else and to survive. Therefore, Ge Qi Feng Yu began to take a few steps back, counting on the people in front of him to die in their place.
And...... To be honest, the death of a person will make them breathe a sigh of relief. In the case of confined apartments, the evil spirits can kill at most one occupant at a time, after which they will enter a longer interval. And with this interval, there may be a way to survive.
Dong Xie looked at Dong Ning, who was standing with him beside him, and began to think about what to do now. It's not an option to stay here and stand stupidly all the time.
"First...... Back off, everyone back away! Don't go too fast, stare at the door of the stairwell and go backwards! Dong Xie lowered his voice as much as possible at this time and commanded everyone to retreat. At this time, everyone immediately did so, and between life and death, no one dared to question Dong Xie who was standing in front of him. After all, people are cheeky.
One-step...... Two steps, and everyone's steps almost began to step back in unison.
Their eyes were locked on the stairwell in front of them. No one knows if something terrible will come out of it!
"South...... Nam no Amitabha ......"
"Relief of suffering, relief of suffering, ...... of Guanyin Bodhisattva"
Dong Xie listened to the low prayer coming from behind him, and he also smiled bitterly in his heart. They are too weak to resist even the slightest bit and have survived until now, entirely due to the restrictions imposed by the apartment. They are simply not in control of their own destiny, but pure puppets.
After retreating a few steps, they gradually began to feel at ease, probably ...... No...... "Those things" appeared, right?
"Whew...... We, do we still live in that house now? Gurch looked at the others and asked, "Or are we ......?"
"Let's go...... Take a look at the floor below?" Dong Xie suggested: "No matter what, you have to look for clues to your life." ”
Zhao Long looked at the stairwell in front of him and said, "But now we ...... Do you really want to go there? ”
Dong Xie also showed a hesitant look, and after thinking for a while, he said, "That ......"
"Let's stay here first......" Zhao Long still couldn't make up his mind: "We'...... Let's take a look, shall we? ”
Dong Xie glanced at Dong Ning, it was naturally impossible for them to break away from the team and take the initiative to go downstairs to explore, so they would inevitably become the target of the evil spirits. To put it mildly, Dong Xie stayed by their side with the idea of "Dead Dao Friends Don't Die Poor", maybe the first to die were the two pig teammates. After all, he only cares about the life and death of himself and Ah Ning in his heart. In fact, to date, there doesn't seem to have been a full-fledged Scarlet mission (at least judging by the available records). In a bloody mission, 50% of the personnel mortality rate is considered low.
Looking at the stairwell in front of them, their faces were bitter. Now it really doesn't matter where you go, you don't feel safe. However, there is no doubt that staying on this level all the time does not mean that you are safe.
So...... What to do?
"It's too simple to just go to the 4th floor, and it won't be a way out." Zhao Long is also confused now: "But, what should we do with the current situation?" We don't dare to go to the floor below now, we don't dare to take the elevator, we have been trapped here, can we stay on the 5th floor and spend these five hours safely? ”
Zhao Long said these words to himself, and then he himself didn't believe in this kind of thing. This...... It's a bit ridiculous! If it is said that not going to the 4th floor is a way of life that they have worked hard to explore, where is the reason why the evil spirit will tell the residents the clues to the way of life as soon as they come up? In fact, he also had a similar speculation as Dong Ning, whether this was an empty city plan, deliberately letting them not go to the 4th floor, and the 4th floor was a way out, but at the moment it seems that this point has also been ruled out.
"That's it......" Zhao Long thought about it, but still made up his mind: "Don't go to the 4th floor until you have to!" In this way, there is no problem. ”
Hearing Zhao Long say this, Feng Yu and Ge Qi also nodded, fully agreeing with Zhao Long's opinion.
However, whether it is Dong Xie or Dong Ning, it is difficult to agree with Zhao Long's conclusion.
"I don't think it's going to be that simple." Dong Xie pointed to the stairwell in front of him and said, "Perhaps, that moment just now was deliberately to scare us and make us dare not go to the 1st or 3rd floors to explore." There are such precedents in the past blood letters! ”
"Hmm...... You have a point. However, at this time, Feng Yu was unusual, and agreed with Dong Xie's statement, "I also think that's right." ”
Dong Xie was stunned, how could this guy agree with what he said?
"Zhao Long," Feng Yu looked at Zhao Long and said, "Just as Dong Xie said, maybe that's really the case." Seriously, how can you survive just staying on the 5th floor for five hours? I don't believe I can live without going to the 4th floor. We're not the kind of protagonists in horror movies who always die to break taboos, and it's not hard to do not go to the 4th floor? ”
Zhao Long is not an idiot, how could he not know that Dong Xie has a point? But here's the problem...... What if you know? As long as you take one wrong step in the blood word task, it is a dead word! There is only one life for everyone, and if it is gone, it can never be saved, and ten blood wishes cannot bring the dead back to life! Under such circumstances, he put prudence first and would never dare to take risks lightly. At this stage, there is still too little information, and he does not want to draw conclusions easily.
"Now...... The blood word hasn't been around for long, and there may be some other way to explore the spawn path. ”
Zhao Long still has his own considerations, and it is not yet the last moment, so he still has to be cautious.
Feng Yu glanced at Dong Xie again, and suddenly said, "I think...... It's not a way to keep going like this, it's better to ...... Or do you want someone to go down to the floor to have a look? Of course, the 4th floor is not included. Otherwise......"
At this moment, Dong Xie and Dong Ning understood why Feng Yu agreed with his words. He hoped that someone would go down and help him find out what was true and what was false!
Everyone wants to be in a safe area, and it is naturally best for others to fight for life and death. But where in this world is there such a beautiful thing!
"This thing...... I'll think again. At present, our temporary team still can't be dispersed, otherwise once we are alone, we are likely to be attacked! ”
Eventually, they opened the door and returned to the original house.
Now everyone is very entangled, not knowing how to choose next, which is good. And Dong Xie's mind was full of the terrifying eyes from before......
Next, Gurch found a few candles in the kitchen.
He then took the candle back, and was about to point the lighter at the candle when the flame suddenly went out!
Frightened, he hurriedly lit the lighter again, and this time the flame reappeared, and he quickly lit the candle.
"Whew...... Great...... Well? ”
Then, Gerch's eyes widened, revealing an extremely frightened expression!
