Volume 1 The Wraith of the Mansion Chapter 8 A Thousand Moments

"How can this be, the evil spirit has obviously given priority to attacking Gu Lei, and even I didn't get attacked by the evil spirit when I made the first move, which shows that my guess about the way to live is right, but... But why won't he let me go??? ”

"Isn't there a second chance to escape as long as you trigger a dead end......

Xu Lang's heart sank to the bottom, an ordinary-level task seemed to him to be a little difficult but a little unacceptable, feeling that death downstairs was approaching, Xu Lang felt that he was a little ridiculous, obviously he took the initiative to contact the supernatural events, and kept saying that he wanted to find the truth and find evil spirits.

But when the evil spirit was close at hand, Xu Lang was afraid...... The body trembled uncontrollably, and some could not stand up.

Is this human instinct? No matter how deep the obsession in the heart is, how cold the character, in the face of death, you will feel fear and overwhelmed.

The footsteps are getting closer and closer, and this time the evil spirit is also not in a hurry, but the oppression in Xu Lang's heart is even stronger, because he is no longer sure to face this evil spirit.

"Give up? I can't fight this kind of thing at all, an evil spirit that hasn't shown super power from beginning to end has pushed me into a desperate situation several times, and I've exhausted all my ways to survive, what else can I do......"

"No, no. I managed to get here, I was very close to the truth about my parents' deaths, and Villa 13 was clearly a newspaper mission. If I give up at this time, then my 18 years of hard work will be in vain, there must be another way to live, there must be more! ”

At this time, Xu Lang had already seen a pale, bloodless hand appear on the handrail of the stairs below, and immediately ran upwards and fled, only to run away to buy time to think of the next way to live.

And the evil spirit seemed to notice that Xu Lang, who was originally waiting for death, fled upwards again at this time, and the evil spirit, who had already regarded this living person as a meal, immediately chased after it, but this time the speed was very different from before, if Xu Lang saw it, he would definitely show a shocked expression.

This is almost beyond the limit of human speed, Xu Lang obviously heard the change in the rhythm of the footsteps downstairs, his face changed, and he burst out with the fastest speed in his life, sprinting rapidly.

"Survival... All the clues have been analyzed thoroughly, and what else has been missed! ”

Xu Lang, who was suddenly running wildly, a lightning bolt flashed in his head, and he finally remembered that something was wrong.

On the 13th floor, instead of continuing upward, he turned his head and pushed open the iron door of the staircase.

Yes, now all the clues have been thoroughly analyzed, only the room on the 13th floor that Huo Xiaolan led him into, all the doors of the entire building are closed, and they can't be opened by external force at all, only the innermost room on the 13th floor can be entered.

There must be a demon when things go wrong, this room is the clue that Xu Lang has not paid attention to, go in, enter that special room, another way of life must be there.

Xu Lang had never run so vigorously, sweat kept sliding down his forehead, his body was already thin and he lacked exercise, he was already exhausted after running for a while, and his speed was getting slower and slower since he got out of the stairs.

Xu Lang, who had never dared to look back, knew that the evil spirit was behind him, and gradually approached, and realized that his physical strength was a little unable to keep up, so he gritted his teeth and threw off the backpack, and accelerated his sprint.

The corridor of the 13th floor was much longer than he had imagined, and at this moment, it was still ten meters away from the innermost room, and he could even see the metal handle on the door glistening in the moonlight.

This gave him great encouragement, and Xu Lang at this time urgently needed psychological hints, implying that he could live when he entered the room, giving himself a hope to support his tired body.

Five-meter, three-meter, one-meter...... Xu Lang straightened his remaining right hand, and he was just a few centimeters away from touching the handle and opening the door.

But at this time, Xu Lang's scattered long hair was firmly grasped by a pair of hands, and he was dragged back fiercely, and his entire head was pulled back by a huge force of nearly 90 degrees, and even the sound of bones could be heard.

Xu Lang almost grabbed the handle, but was dragged out another step because of this drag. The evil spirit has caught up.

In fact, if you use the speed of the evil spirit, you can already catch Xu Lang less than half of the corridor, but the human race always bursts out with unimaginable power in a desperate situation, so that the evil spirit that was originally extremely close is thrown away again.

And at this moment, people can't be compared with evil spirits after all, the moment Xu Lang was grabbed by the hair, he realized this, almost the moment he was dragged back, Xu Lang took out the knife in his pocket again, didn't look at the back, grabbed it directly, and was holding it on the back of a cold hand.

Xu Lang's heart froze, and without the slightest hesitation, he cut it directly, of course, it was not the hand that cut the evil spirit, and everything would be directly pulled off his neck, but a strand of hair that was grabbed on the back of that hand.

With a bang, his hair fell to the ground, Xu Lang instantly regained his mobility, and threw himself at the door while turning the handle with his right hand, and his whole body was loaded into the room.

Xu Lang, who fell to the ground, glanced at the room, and immediately saw a female corpse that fell to the ground not far away, Huo Xiaolan.

No, she's not dead yet, because her chest still has a slight heaving. The left wrist was empty, the blood had stopped dripping, and his face was pale, apparently due to excessive blood loss, and he fainted.

Xu Lang finally realized that something was wrong, because these four people hadn't died yet! Huo Xiaolan, who was possessed, only had her left hand cut off by the evil spirit to trap herself, but she did not kill her.

As for why...... Xu Lang didn't have time to think about it, the way of life was right, but it was not completed, as long as he killed Huo Xiaolan, who was unconscious in front of him, this crisis would be lifted.

Xu Lang lost too much physical strength, and crawled in the direction of Huo Xiaolan, but at this time, the evil spirit chased after him again, and Xu Lang, who smelled the smell of the corpse, didn't care about it, he only had one thought now, kill! Kill Huo Xiaolan and he will live!

He was now quite close to Huo Xiaolan, and in less than a second, he would be able to grab Huo Xiaolan and stab him to end it all.

But at this moment, the evil spirit grabbed Xu Lang who fell to the ground again, and his right foot was firmly locked and could not take a step forward.

The right foot is different from the hair, and the evil spirit will not give Xu Lang time to cut off his right foot at all.

Xu Lang's body was about to be lifted upside down by the evil spirit, once it was lifted, Xu Lang could only let it be slaughtered and there was no room for resistance, just at this critical moment, Xu Lang stood up with the knife in his right hand and stabbed it into Huo Xiaolan's right arm.

The evil spirit slowly lifted Xu Lang from behind, but Xu Lang held the knife tightly and secretly pressed towards the oblique, while hooking Huo Xiaolan's right arm.

At this time, an extremely strange scene is presented, a rotting evil spirit, carrying a man upside down, and the man's only remaining right hand is holding a knife, which hooks an unconscious woman, and she is also slightly raised.

Although Xu Lang lost his left hand, he still had a mouth, and he bit on Huo Xiaolan's raised right arm, his teeth stabbed into the flesh and blood, and he could feel that he was biting on the bones.

Huo Xiaolan's eyelids twitched, and the piercing pain almost woke her up, but she couldn't open her eyes in the end, Xu Lang's teeth trembled for a while, and he was sweating profusely, but he didn't dare to let go, and the knife in his right hand was pulled out, which made the important increase in his mouth and almost couldn't support it.

This time it happened in less than two seconds, the evil spirit held Xu Lang's legs with both hands, trying to tear apart his body as if he had killed Gu Lei. But the knife in Xu Lang's hand fell first, piercing Huo Xiaolan's heart, blood splattered, and a few drops sprayed into Xu Lang's eyes.

Suddenly, Xu Lang felt that the power in his legs suddenly disappeared, and his whole body fell to the ground with a thud, and he felt his nose sore when his face hit the ground, but the knife in Xu Lang's hand did not stop, and continued to stab Huo Xiaolan's heart again and again.

Huo Xiaolan couldn't die anymore, Xu Lang turned around and saw that there was no trace of evil spirits in the entire room, and the suffocating smell of corpses had disappeared, as if he had never been here.

Everything seemed like a nightmare, but Xu Lang's blood on his body indicated that this was the reality, and he really escaped death.

Xu Lang's first mission, a solo mission, was extremely dangerous, and he was on the verge of death several times, but he survived ten minutes before the end of the mission.

The nosebleed kept flowing, staining the placket red, but at this moment, Xu Lang didn't have the strength to wipe it at all, and he was exhausted, he leaned on the side of the dead Huo Xiaolan, breathing in the fresh air.

The right hand of the detachment trembled and took out the pocket of the right jacket, the lighter could not ignite after pressing it several times, he had no strength at all, and threw away the cigarette case as soon as he let go, giving up the idea of lighting a cigarette.

Xu Lang, who closed his eyes and recuperated, sighed at the beauty of being alive, and at this time a cold voice sounded in his mind: "Executive employee, Xu Lang." Solve the paranormal task in advance, complete the report submission, and return to the newspaper. ”

This mechanical sound was like a sound of heaven to Xu Lang.

Xu Lang took out the voice recorder he had with him, and then the last recording completed the report of everything he had experienced before, and he still had some questions about the Jingming Building, such as Huo Xiaolan beside him. But Xu Lang didn't dare to stay longer after thinking about it, and then thought to himself: "Submit a report and return." ”

A white light sprayed out from inside Xu Lang's body, lighting up the entire room, and Xu Lang's figure disappeared in place in an instant.

At this time, there were five or six employees sitting on the sofa in the hall of the "Strange News Agency", and there were still a few minutes before the end of Xu Lang's mission, and they all bowed their heads and exchanged ears, all speculating whether this unique newcomer would survive, and even the two people sitting on the edge of the house were betting on this matter.

And Yan Yan, looking ahead, stood handsome and tall in the middle of the hall, with expectation in his eyes. He Xiao rubbed his hands beside him and waited anxiously, but no one knew if he was acting coyly.

After a while, the white light flickered, and a figure covered in blood and with a mutilated left hand appeared in the hall out of thin air.

One of the two people who used Xu Lang to gamble before, a short but obese young man was the most excited, and jumped up from the sofa and shouted: "I, Cheng Guoguo, will never be wrong to look at people, I'll just say that he can survive, you guys give money quickly!" ”

Putting aside everyone's performance for the time being, Xu Lang appeared in the middle of the hall and did not get up immediately, because he found that his body had changed, his left wrist was numb, painful and itchy, and he looked at his severed left hand and slowly grew bloody flesh, and within two minutes, his left hand was intact as before, and he pinched it hard and found that it was controlled freely, just like the original.

"Any injuries caused during the mission, as long as you have one breath left, will be automatically repaired by returning to the newspaper." Yan Yan on the side looked down at Xu Lang and slowly explained the situation.

He Xiao stepped forward to help Xu Lang up and gave him a thumbs up: "My brother is amazing, the first time he participated in the mission, he was able to really survive if he carried it out alone." ”

When Xu Lang heard this, he waved his hand and responded simply, and He Xiao then said: "Just finished the mission, you rest first, and I will go to your room to introduce the rules of the newspaper in a while." ”

Xu Lang nodded and moved his gaze to Yan Yan, he remembered that Yan Yan had something to say to him before the task began.

Yan Yan saw Xu Lang looking at him, but shook his head, "You just returned, come to 204 to find me after resting." With that, he turned and went back upstairs.

Xu Lang nodded to the people around him who were looking at him as a greeting, got rid of He Xiao's support, and returned to his room, ready to sleep well.

The hall was empty, He Xiao's honest smile suddenly disappeared, and he whispered softly with a gloomy face: "Xu Lang, it's not simple." ”
