Volume 1 The Wraith of the Mansion Chapter 5 The Extra One

The structure of the 13th floor is not much different from the other floors, and the situation is similar, the several rooms that Xu Lang groped for were firmly locked, and the outside could not be entered at all.

Xu Lang didn't know where to hide for a while, so he was about to start asking the woman what she had experienced, but as soon as he turned around, he saw that the woman's left hand was almost climbing on his shoulder, and she suddenly pulled away like a frightened bird.

Xu Lang frowned, his eyes showing a cold light: "What are you doing?" ”

I saw that the woman reluctantly withdrew her right hand, and said, "I... I just thought that there was a room on this floor that was safe, and I had been hiding in it for a long time before and it was fine. After saying that, he lowered his head as if he had done something wrong.

Xu Lang secretly said that his nerves were too nervous after entering the task, so he didn't think much and said lightly: "Then you lead the way in front." ”

The two of them walked to the door of a room at the innermost end of the 13th floor corridor.

The woman pointed and said, "This is it." ”

Xu Lang nodded, and asked the woman to open the door with an indifferent expression.

The room was bare, there was no trace of decoration, it was the kind of three-bedroom rough room, Xu Lang did not go deep, covered his left wrist with a faint pain, and began to ask the woman not far from him around the customer hall:

"Who are you and how did you end up here?"

The woman whispered, "My name is Huo Xiaolan, I... I don't know how I suddenly appeared here, I just remember that I was out shopping and suddenly I appeared in this building with a flash of white light. ”

"Oh, have you seen anyone else here?"

"There's... I met three of my friends and found out that they also appeared in this building for no reason, but Xiaodong was killed by that... After that thing was killed, I got separated from the other two. ”

When Xu Lang heard this, he felt that his previous speculation was wrong. There are four of them who know each other, and it is understandable that they were selected by the newspaper to carry out a novice mission in a group, but if they are teleported into the building in different locations, then the possibility of this mission is almost zero.

So, I'm afraid that these people must appear in the building for the integrity of the mission, and what is their role......

Thinking of this, Xu Lang turned his head and asked, "You and your friends have been to this building before..."

Halfway through his words, Xu Lang suddenly had a cold sweat on his forehead, and his right hand covering his injured arm shook unnaturally, but this small detail was inconspicuous and was not noticed by Huo Xiaolan.

At this time, Huo Xiaolan raised her head, her eyes flickered and asked, "What did you just say, I didn't hear it clearly, can you say it again?" ”

Xu Lang remained silent, walked towards the door with natural steps, no longer looked at Huo Xiaolan, and said as he walked: "I seem to hear some movement, you stay and don't move." ”

He didn't dare to walk quickly because he had some scruples in his heart, moved to the door little by little, pushed his glasses, squinted through the lenses, and could vaguely see that Huo Xiaolan's figure had already squatted on the ground and began to stand up slowly.

Gave up moving, burst out with the fastest speed in his life, rushed to the door, grabbed the doorknob and grabbed the door, and didn't even have time to close the door, Xu Lang didn't dare to look back at all, as fast as he could, and went straight to the stairwell.

At the moment when Xu Lang rushed out of the door, Huo Xiaolan, who was originally resigned, straightened up and stood in place, with a blank expression, as if he was a living dead, and then fell straight to the ground.

And her left hand, which was bloodless before, suddenly disappeared, leaving only a wrist that was still oozing blood, and the cross-section of the wound was uneven, as if she had been dragged off by brute force by something!

At the same time, an evil spirit with a rotten body and maggots on his face appeared at the door, staring at the direction of Xu Lang's escape with an indescribable vicious look.

At this time, Xu Lang rushed down the 8th stairs in one go, and was currently panting at the corner of the 5th floor, secretly glad that he didn't say that sentence, otherwise he would never have escaped so easily.

Xu Lang didn't notice that Huo Xiaolan was wrong at first, even if he entered that room, he didn't think much about it, and he even ignored Huo Xiaolan's weird behavior when he was eager to ask for clues.

Looking back now, Huo Xiaolan is a very strange person.

Huo Xiaolan believed unconditionally from the moment she saw Xu Lang, Xu Lang said whatever she wanted, and even the panicked screams at that time seemed very contrived, and the most important thing was that Xu Lang didn't see the evil spirit chasing her at all!

Since following Xu Lang, her performance has not been like a living person, she just pulls and leaves, answers whatever she asks, and is at her mercy, but Xu Lang didn't think much about it at the time, only when Xu Lang turned his head to look at Huo Xiaolan in the room, he made an amazing discovery.

This Huo Xiaolan's left and right hands are completely different! The left hand was not bloody, the nails were bare, while the right hand was painted with red nail polish, which were two different hands entirely.

Although Xu Lang said that he couldn't remember it, his memory was by no means bad, and he clearly remembered that the hand that was violently torn off on the handle of the stairwell on the third floor was a left hand, and it was painted with red nail polish.

What was left in the stairwell on the third floor was Huo Xiaolan's left hand!

It seems that in the mission, no one can believe it, and no one can tell whether it is a human or an evil spirit standing in front of you!

Xu Lang glanced at the time, there was still an hour before the end of the mission, and his guess about the way to survive was simply zero, and there were even few clues.

He felt that Huo Xiaolan, the evil spirit, had endless answers to his questions, which might also be a mandatory requirement of the newspaper's task, and the information that needed to be disclosed to the employees, but in the end, the question he didn't ask,

"Have you been to this mansion before?"

This is probably the key to survival, but looking at Huo Xiaolan's expression at that time, if I got the answer to my question, I am afraid that she would turn her face on the spot and directly abuse and kill me, and I didn't even have a chance to run.

didn't feel pity, because Xu Lang felt that he still had a chance, and the restrictions of the newspaper's rules made Huo Xiaolan know everything, so her words must be true and credible. She said that after the death of one Xiaodong, she was separated from her two companions, so it is possible that these two companions are still alive.

It's not impossible to find them and find a way to survive and complete the task!

Xu Lang did not forget the requirements of completing the task, and recorded all his current task experience into the voice recorder, he was not sure if he could find a way to survive in advance, if not, he had to stay up until the end of the time, and he had to be prepared with both hands.

After completing this, Xu Lang took out a small orange bag from his clothes, which was the bag that was dragged down from Huo Xiaolan's body and thrown at Lou Dao to attract evil spirits.

Now take it out and see if you can find some clues.

Dumping all the contents of the bag on the ground, Xu Lang began to look through it, except for some cosmetics and credit cards, there was only one mobile phone left, and when Xu Lang wanted to open the phone to see if there would be any clues, he found that he needed to enter a password.

Xu Lang has worked as a private detective and can indeed crack the password of his mobile phone, but now he has no computer and network, and he is powerless in the face of mobile phones that may have clues.

As if refusing to give up, he turned the bag over and over again, this time Xu Lang did not pour things simply and rudely, but turned the whole bag inside out, but found a hidden pocket in the bag.

The fabric was torn open, and there was a yellowed photograph inside.

It was an old alley, and there were five people in the photo, four men and one woman, but they all looked like children, and the girl was obviously Huo Xiaolan, who was about ten years younger.

Xu Lang, who has studied past missions, understands that the mission will not be untargeted, and this photo must have its effect.

Looking at this photo, Huo Xiaolan said that a total of four of them were teleported into the building, and it was very likely that they were the four children who looked like junior high school students in the photo at that time, where was the extra boy? What role does he play in this mission?

It is very likely that Huo Xiaolan's way of appearance was not the source evil spirit, she may have been made into a humanoid puppet by the evil spirit after death to trap me, or she was simply possessed.

Does that mean that the extra boy in the photo is the source of this mission!

These five children must have had something happen in this Jingming Mansion more than ten years ago, which led to this supernatural mission.

Xu Lang thought about it again and again, and suddenly realized a problem, what happened more than ten years ago...... But this mansion was turned into a murderous mansion twenty years ago, and the time is not right.

At this time, an extremely terrifying idea appeared in Xu Lang's mind, if this was true, then he would definitely be dead in this mission!

"This edifice ...... There are two evil spirits?!! An ancient? A modern? ”
