After a while, there was still no movement outside the door, and it seemed that the old lady did not follow.

"Escaped."

Xia Ren breathed a sigh of relief, but his back was still cold, he ran up in a hurry just now, under the strenuous exercise, his body was covered with sweat, and the short sleeves were sticky to his body, which was sticky and uncomfortable.

He went to the bathroom and wanted to wash his face.

Xia Ren has a habit of reaching under the faucet to test the temperature of the water before turning it on, even if he knows that there is no hot water in the faucet.

He didn't expect that such a habitual move would accidentally save his life.

The liquid that came out of the faucet was as red as blood, and he thought it was rust from a long time of unused, but it wasn't.

The water is not hot, but it is cool.

Very cool!

The moment the liquid touched his finger, it was almost a conditioned reflex, Xia Ren quickly retracted his hand, and just for a moment of contact, he felt that his finger had been frozen and unconscious.

"How can it be so cold?"

Even the ice water in winter is not as powerful as this.

He looked at the faucet again, and strangely, the liquid flowing out of it had turned into a pure transparent color again, and then he looked at his fingers, which were clearly dry, not to mention the water droplets, and there were no traces of wetness.

The feeling of fingertips being frozen just now has not subsided, and this is definitely not an illusion.

He looked up, and the self in the mirror did the same, but his face seemed to be smiling.

"What is he laughing at?"

Xia Ren's eyes widened, and in the mirror, a vague black shadow crawled behind him at some point, but he didn't notice it at all.

The black shadow's face was gradually changing, and it was becoming clearer and clearer, but in just two or three seconds, the facial contours were already somewhat similar to Xia Ren.

"He wants to be like me!"

The bathroom can't stay any longer, and even this room can't stay anymore, Xia Ren turned on the faucet, pushed open the door and walked out.

He has been ignoring a key issue.

Now that we know that the old lady on the other side of the door is an incomprehensible existence, how terrifying must it be to scare her away?

"I should have realized it sooner!"

There's probably more than one old lady in this house!

He had just reached the entrance when there was a knock on the door.

The action of putting on shoes suddenly stopped, and the pins in the room could be heard, Xia Ren held his breath and silently took off the half-worn shoes and changed them to bare feet, without making a sound in the process.

He had just come to live here, and he didn't know any of his neighbors, and the only one who knocked on the door in the dark was the old lady who came to the door.

"What should I do, there is one in the bathroom behind me, and there is still one blocked at the door outside, should I rush out with a fight, or hide in the house for the time being."

There wasn't much time to think, and the doorknob suddenly fluttered.

"Open the door, lad."

Xia Ren suddenly thought that the old lady could look at the cat's eye, he was standing in front of the door at the moment, the lights were still on in the house, and the other party had already discovered that he was in the house!

She must not be allowed in!

Ignoring nothing else, Xia Ren jumped over with an arrow step, held the doorknob tightly, and then locked the door.

"Open the door!"

The old lady couldn't turn the handle and began to bang frantically on the door.

Xia Ren felt that it was not safe, so he took out the key and turned it around twice, which was completely locked.

"Open the door!"

The old lady's voice was hoarse, her throat seemed to be filled with dry tree bark, and the side door was slammed by her, and the whole door frame was shaking!

Xia Ren took two steps back, still a little afraid, and his legs and feet trembled uncontrollably because of nervousness.

If she had been a little slower to react just now, she would most likely have opened the door and come in!

After a while, the old lady knew that she could not open the door, and seemed to give up, and silence returned to the room.

"She's already discovered me, and she's definitely not going to give up easily, and now she's probably still looking at herself through the cat's eyes."

Xia Ren didn't believe that the old lady would leave, and the more nervous he was, the faster his head turned.

"I can't get out tonight, I have to wait until dawn, but it's ...... in the house."

He turned to look at the bathroom, where there was a dark figure trying to transform into him.

Compared with the old lady, at least the black shadow did not chase out, which means that if you know that if you don't go into the bathroom, there is a high probability that it is safe.

"I can only endure it, and I can't continue to stay in this hellish place tomorrow."

After making a decision, Xia Ren planned to go to the bedroom, but as soon as he was halfway there, he had to stop.

A brown straw rope dangling from the ceiling and hanging from the bedroom door.

At the end of the rope was a loop, which looked like some kind of torture or suicide tool.

If you want to enter the bedroom, you need to pass by the rope, and Xia Ren doesn't think that this thing that appears quietly will make way for him in a friendly way.

Fortunately, there were no more moths in the study, Xia Ren sat down at the desk, and first calmed down his thumping little heart.

Computers are available, and there is an Internet connection, but he has just experienced the multiple baptisms of mirror ghosts, old ladies, and hanging ropes, and he doesn't even know if this room is safe now, and he is not in the mood to play games or watch movies for fun.

He has a tumor in his head and often hallucinates, but that doesn't mean he doesn't even have the ability to think logically.

All the signs in front of him showed that he was cheated by Zhao Mingyue.

"Damn it!"

He slammed the table in anger.

Unexpectedly, it was such an act of venting anger that turned into some kind of signal, activating all the abnormal phenomena in the house at once!

The shock caused by the contact between the table and the palm has not subsided, and the room is suddenly lively.

In his ears, like a lit fuse, all kinds of small sounds began to sound one after another.

He heard a group of people whispering in the dark living room, the crisp sound of a mirror cracking in the bathroom next door, bright red blood dripping down the hanging rope, and a strange flow of water with an irresistible cold air slowly spreading inward along the crack in the door......

"Hallucinations, all hallucinations!"

"I'm seriously ill!"

The incomprehensible phenomenon brought great fear, and Xia Ren hugged his head tightly, but there was a slippery touch in his hand.

He stiffened his hand back, a slimy, clear liquid in his palm.

Immediately afterwards, Xia Ren was horrified to find that at some point, the study was crawling with slender tissues, and if you looked closely, these tissues were all tentacles full of suction cups!

"Where did these tentacles come from......"

His gaze followed the source of the dense tentacles, his gaze became lower and lower, and finally, he saw that the roots of all the tentacles were extending from the chair.

A thought that made him shudder came to him.

Hindbrain!

He went crazy and put his hands behind his head to rip off the tentacles.

however

No.

The slippery feeling just now was gone, and his hand reached over, only touching his own hair.

Looking around again, the tentacles were gone, and he was the only one in the room, standing alone in front of the computer.

Hallucinations?

He couldn't be sure.

Because the sound outside the house continued.

Just when Xia Ren's worldview collapsed and his reason was about to collapse, a text suddenly appeared in his mind:

[Fusion Progress: 70/100!] 】

Immediately after, as if some kind of creature was forcibly imprinting its will into Xia Ren's mind in the most domineering way, words began to appear constantly.
