Volume 1 The Wraith of the Mansion Chapter 3 An Unheard of Mission

There was still half a day left before the start of the mission, and after Xu Lang read the mission information several times, he went straight to He Xiao.

He Xiao hasn't recovered from this bizarre mission for a while, he has carried out five missions, and the selected captain can be said to be the most senior and longest-living employee in this group, but he has never heard of anyone who will perform the task alone, and this newcomer has really shocked him a little bit today.

It wasn't until Xu Lang patted him on the shoulder that he reacted, turned around and smiled at Xu Lang:

"It stands to reason that every time we release a task, we will get together to analyze the information, but this mission is quite simple and straightforward, there is nothing to analyze, and when the time comes, the newspaper will automatically teleport you to the mission location.

Rest assured, this is your first time and the task won't be particularly difficult. It's just that you do it alone...... It's still better to be cautious and do your best to survive. ”

As a good person in the staff team and a team leader, it is indispensable to cheer up employees before going out for tasks.

But He Xiao is not optimistic in his heart, and he has not even passed the novice task, so it can be said that this newcomer has zero experience. Entering the newspaper office, he was immediately asked to carry out his mission, and although it seemed that this newcomer was a little special, the chances of survival were too low and too low.

Xu Lang nodded when he heard He Xiao's words, and immediately asked, "Is there any material from the past mission for me to see, I want to study it." ”

There was still half an hour before the mission time, and Xu Lang had been sitting at this table exactly the same as in his room for a long time.

Indeed, Xu Lang didn't have any experience of facing supernatural events, and he was still a little nervous, so he asked for the materials of the previous mission, wanting to know more or less about the general experience in the mission.

After an afternoon of study, there was no difference between what He Xiao said, but through many comparisons, Xu Lang realized that there were some tasks that would have word games to lure employees into a dead end. But the information he faces is quite clear, so this situation will not occur.

Xu Lang glanced at the time, there were still ten minutes to enter the task, and it was better to analyze ten thousand times than to actually experience it once, so he turned around and went downstairs without any hesitation.

There were already a lot of people standing in the hall at this time, and they all wanted to see what kind of ending this newcomer's special mission would be.

Xu Lang carried a backpack full of emergency supplies, stood at the door of the hall, calmly smoking the cigarette in his hand, this calm attitude convinced many people, the first time to perform the task is this posture of the staff is too few and too few.

The previous indifferent man walked to Xu Lang's side and was side by side with him.

Xu Lang knew that there was more people around him, but he didn't move, but the man spoke first:

"My name is Yan Yan, if you can survive this time, I want to talk to you."

After speaking, without waiting for Xu Lang to express his position, Yan Yan turned around and went upstairs directly. Xu Lang snuffed out the cigarette in his hand, and he already had some guesses in his heart about this group of old employees.

For example, this Yan Yan is not an ordinary character, different from everyone's performance, the rationality flashing in his eyes, coupled with the eye contact with He Xiao, I am afraid that he is similar to a think tank.

And He Xiao, the titular captain, seems to be a good old man, simple-minded but able to survive five missions is by no means a good type.

There are only seven or eight people in the 15 rooms, and even if they are not full, there are probably some hidden characters......

"It seems that the inside of the newspaper is not calm."

The hands on the watch still have five minutes to reach 8 o'clock in the evening, Xu Lang touched the voice recorder in his left pocket, and slightly brushed the right pocket, there seemed to be something in it, but only Xu Lang himself knew.

Suddenly, a white light erupted from Xu Lang's body, and the whole person was surrounded by light, and in less than a second, Xu Lang suddenly disappeared from the door of the hall.

At 19.55 minutes, the dilapidated doorway of the Jingmei Building flashed white, and a tall figure appeared out of thin air.

"This is the Jingmei Building, and it's really dilapidated."

It was a long-abandoned, 15-story building, and there was no light around the building, the street lights were all broken here, and the whole building was completely surrounded by darkness, like a beast of prey, waiting for its prey to enter and devour it.

After Xu Lang knew the location of the mission, he looked up a lot of information about this building on the Internet.

Twenty years ago, the building was surrounded by downtown areas, and housing prices were extremely high, and it is said that the developer dug the foundation when digging an ancient coffin, and since then it has become a murderous house, as long as someone moves in, it will disappear mysteriously in a short time.

Some people also said that they had seen an evil spirit wearing ancient clothes in the Jingming Building at night, and it is not clear whether the rumors exaggerated Xu Lang, but it is certain that as long as he stepped into this building tonight, he would definitely die.

But whether it is the persecution of the task or his own obsession with evil spirits, Xu Lang has no resistance to entering the mansion at all, and for him this may be the meaning of his existence.

Arriving at the 20 o'clock designated by the mission, Xu Lang stopped observing and simply pushed open the door of the building.

And at this time, if someone passes by this building, they will definitely be horrified to see that on the window of the innermost room on the 13th floor, there is a maggot with a face full of maggots, and the evil spirit that is rotten all over the body grinned the moment he saw Xu Lang enter the door, and at the same time there were maggots that pulled off a few white flowers.

As soon as he entered the building, Xu Lang felt a chill from the inside, not cold but a warning of danger, as if something terrible would happen if he went deeper into the building.

The wind that blew in after pushing the door swept the dust that fell from the inside of the building into the air, and I felt choked and dizzy when I took a breath.

Xu Lang shook his head and took out a wolf-eye flashlight from his jacket pocket, which was "transformed" inside the newspaper, yes, you can conjure up anything you want in the newspaper apartment, a flashlight is not a problem, except for highly dangerous goods such as guns and ammunition, of course.

It wasn't until he turned on the flashlight and observed this hall that Xu Lang found that the interior here is much larger than the outside, and the hall alone is probably 200 square meters. Twenty years ago, this kind of large-scale spending was rare, but unfortunately there was a terrible incident and I had to abandon it.

Looking up and down the environment, Xu Lang soon realized that something was wrong.

Because he was shocked to find that a series of fragmentary footprints appeared in front of him, and it looked disorganized, more than one person.

This place has been left unattended all year round, it is already full of dust, only someone has walked, and the traces can be seen immediately, it is obvious that there was a group of people not long before Xu Lang, they hurriedly entered the building, and ran wildly in panic.

Xu Lang frowned, feeling that the appearance of this group of people was very strange, and when he analyzed the past tasks, he found a pattern, during the general mission, the newspaper will not add people other than non-employees for no reason, except that they are key people and have to appear here.

"Could it be that the key to finding a way to survive is to find this group of people?"

As Xu Lang took a step, an idea crossed his mind like lightning, and there may be another possibility.

"Could it be that someone else was pulled in to perform a novice mission, because I was accidentally introduced to the newspaper and had never experienced a novice mission. And when I entered the newspaper office, I was immediately asked to carry out a task, so abnormal, could this mission be that the newspaper set things right, let me get through the novice task, so as to return to the normal trajectory? ”

The more Xu Lang thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was the highest, because he really didn't feel that there was anything special about making the strange existence of the newspaper treat him differently.

Because the mission had just begun, this period should be the so-called safe period, Xu Lang did not act rashly, pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and began to analyze the current form.

"At present, there are no more than the following clues that are helpful to complete the task:

One is about the source of the evil spirit in the building, and the Internet says that it may be an evil spirit that has been around for many years, and a coffin has been dug up.

So will this coffin where it is not known be the key item to seal the evil spirit, or will it be the way to survive by introducing the evil spirit into the coffin?

The second is that the group before me is most likely a new employee from another team who has completed a novice task. They came to the mansion before me, and it was possible for them to survive.

The third is the building itself, there may be imperceptible clues, and finding it can find a way out. ”

When Xu Lang was a detective, he had a habit of summarizing and sorting out the clues in front of him, which was not only conducive to analysis but also made the most secure judgment on the current situation.

Glancing at my watch, it has been nearly twenty minutes since I entered the building, and I am afraid that the safe period is almost over. Xu Lang thought to himself that the clue he had at the moment was just a scaly claw, and if he wanted to go further, he had to boldly enter the depths of the building and continue to explore.

Xu Lang didn't think much about it, directly ignored the elevator next to him, and went upstairs along the stairs. Not to mention whether the elevator will run in disrepair, even if it does, Xu Lang will not sit.

The confined space means that the chance of escape is reduced, and in an iron box like an elevator, Xu Lang will not make the low-level mistake of being blocked by evil spirits.

Walking up the stairs, Xu Lang paid close attention to the environment around him, the current ability of the evil spirit is unknown, although it is an ordinary task, but he can't relax his vigilance, he must keep martial law at all times, and flee as soon as there is a disturbance.

Fortunately, nothing terrible happened on the way to the second floor, but at this moment, Xu Lang's brows furrowed.

"It shouldn't be

Half an hour into the mission, the safe period should have passed, and I haven't experienced anything strange until now, and even if I hadn't triggered a dead end, the evil spirits would have interfered with my actions.

Could it be that this evil spirit will kill with one blow when it appears? Or is it chasing the same group from before it, and it doesn't have time to take care of itself? ”

Xu Lang temporarily suppressed these strange things, and began to search the various rooms on the second floor, but in fact, the security doors of this corridor were locked, and they couldn't be opened without a key, and the corridor was bare and there were no clues at all.

After another round of inspection on the second floor, Xu Lang had to climb up the stairs to the third floor.

As soon as he pushed open the iron door of the corridor, a bloodied severed hand fell to the ground with a "bang", which was no less than a thunderclap in the quiet corridor.

Xu Lang's face turned pale, he was stunned in place for less than a second, and decisively rushed to the stairs on the third floor.

The reason why he chose to go upstairs instead of returning the same way was because the severed hand was held on the handle on the inside of the iron door, which indicated that the owner of the severed hand wanted to enter the second floor from the stairwell on the third floor, but he encountered horror, the wound was uneven, and there were several tendons attached, which were obviously torn off by brute force.

If he escaped from the stairwell with his severed hand, then the evil spirit would definitely chase him out, that is, the evil spirit could be downstairs, not upstairs.

Of course, Xu Lang didn't know when the owner of the severed hand passed by here, he just guessed that it was more likely that the evil spirit was downstairs.

As for why the evil spirit didn't attack Xu Lang downstairs, he could only think that it was the newspaper's safety period mechanism, after all, the newspaper's mechanism was above the evil spirit.

These thoughts were just in less than a second when Xu Lang was stunned, he ran up desperately, not daring to look back, but as he ran, he felt that something was wrong.

How is the stairwell on the third floor so long? He had been running for about ten seconds, and it stands to reason that he should have finished running a long time ago, but now, the stairs in front of him were endless, and Xu Lang kept his current speed and sprinted for about ten seconds, and the stairs still couldn't be finished.

At this time, Xu Lang finally felt the horror of the evil spirit, which was an incredible ability, far beyond the imagination of human beings.

He stopped in place, his chest rising and falling, and the empty stairwell was only the sound of "whirring" gasps,

Quiet, quiet is terrible.

Looking around at the surrounding environment, the wolf-eyed flashlight didn't know when it fell, and the darkness around Xu Lang surrounded him, he didn't know when or where a terrible evil spirit would suddenly appear, tearing him apart and eating him.

Xu Lang had an irrepressible fear flowing through his body, and he remembered the nightmare of Villa 13.

He knew what had happened to him, and sure enough, it was ......

"Ghost hits the wall!"
