With a searchlight in hand, Zhang Yan groped her way through the dark and dilapidated haunted house and left the room where six people were held.

The female ghost always maliciously interfered with her lights, making them flicker for a while, and changing colors for a while, sometimes scarlet and then green.

As soon as she walked out of the door, Zhang Yan was annoyed by the light, so she simply threw the searchlight into the space ring and only used her compound eyes to observe the environment.

The air in the dilapidated villa, shrouded in creepers, was dreary, with a smell of earthiness and damp mustiness.

She walked out of the room on the first floor and walked down the long hallway, intending to start her search from the innermost room in the corridor, which had a familiar air to her.

There was a small window at the end of the corridor, the window was broken, and when the breeze blew, it "squeaked", and the sound was heard by Zhang Yan...... It's like some animal gnawing on a bone and grinding its teeth, which makes people irritated to hear.

On the tattered red carpet, there are countless mud footprints, those footprints are adults and children, sneakers and high heels, the footprints are very messy, and they seem to have been left in a panic.

It seems that the owner of each footprint is running for his life.

Zhang Yan stared at those footprints, and was about to analyze whether there were any other people's breath.

At this moment, a brand new footprint suddenly appeared a few meters away from her vision.

No one is here, some are just footprints.

The footprint was a woman's footprint of about thirty-six or seven yards, and it was lightly imprinted on the ground, leaving shallow marks, although the footprint was light and shallow, but it was impossible to ignore.

It was coming towards Zhang Yan.

Wet footprints, wherever you step on them, they are wet, as if the owner of the footprints has just been fished out of the water.

Zhang Yan witnessed the footprints approaching her step by step, and finally stopped in front of her feet.

The wet footprints were almost clinging to Zhang Yan's toes, and Zhang Yan felt someone blowing lightly on her chin, as if an invisible person was clinging to her, staring at her playfully.

Zhang Yan's face was expressionless, and she stepped through the place where the footprint stood.

As she walked through, she felt a slight chill hit her whole body, making her shiver a little, but that was all, there was no other discomfort.

Seeing that Zhang Yan was not afraid, the ghost seemed to be even more angry.

Some blood-red words appeared with Zhang Yan's footsteps, and they appeared on the dirty wallpaper out of thin air, spreading like a wall creeper, climbing up to the roof, densely covering Zhang Yan's sight.

The content of those words has some resentment and deliberate intimidation threats, such as - "You stepped on my foot, it hurts", "I am right behind you", "Get out of here, or you will die", "Die, die, die", ......

In the face of this mental attack, Zhang Yan was still expressionless.

She would not have been afraid of such intimidation without substantial harm.

Yan Zhuo had given her many types of mental power enhancement training, one of which was supernatural training.

Shock, sound and light, hallucinations, psychological misleading, bloody horror...... She has trained in all types of paranormal phenomena.

Compared with Yan Zhuo's training, the methods used by this ghost are simply at the kindergarten level.

Zhang Yan was in a stable mood, without distractions, carefully tracking the breath she had captured.

There are all kinds of decorative paintings hanging on the walls on both sides of the corridor, and the taste is not bad, but the more Zhang Yan looks at it, the more strange it feels.

Almost everything in this villa is in tatters, the furniture has been smashed by the explorers, all kinds of metal objects have been stolen, the curtains have been taken away, but the paintings are well preserved, and few of the frames are broken.

It doesn't make sense.

Zhang Yan wrote this down, walked to the innermost room, and pushed the door.

It can't be pushed.

Zhang Yan was not polite to the door, and directly opened the ability long knife, smashed the door with one sword, and opened the door.

This room at the end of the hallway is a bathroom.

The bathroom was empty, dirty, dusty and mossy, and there was only a tub covered with dirty handprints in the entire bathroom, except for a tattered sink.

There was a pool of green, dirty water in the tub, and there was some garbage floating on the water, which gave off a disgusting smell.

Zhang Yan's compound eyes were disturbed by the smell in this room, and she could no longer find the smell she had just traced.

Just as she was about to leave and look for it in the next room, she caught a glimpse of what seemed to be moving in the bathtub.

Zhang Yan was alert and stared carefully at the dirty water in the bathtub for half a minute.

Something is moving.

It's a small section of straw, which is very thin, only a few centimeters above the water, and it shakes every few seconds.

Zhang Yan guessed something, took out a hammer, and knocked a hole in the bottom of the bathtub.

Sewage flowed out of this hole, and as the water in the bathtub became less and less, the silhouette of a man also appeared in front of Zhang Yan!

Zhao Sanyuan, the owner of the outdoor goods store, was tied up with five flowers, wrapped into a silkworm chrysalis and still in dirty water, because the rope was wrapped so tightly that he couldn't even move a finger.

And he had a straw in his mouth, and it was this straw that kept him breathing smoothly, otherwise he would have drowned.

Feeling that the sewage was being discharged, Zhao Sanyuan, who was stained with green algae, spit out the straw, retched a few times, and breathed heavily.

He opened his eyes with great difficulty, it seemed that because his eyes were in dirty water, and it was dark, he couldn't see things clearly, looked at Zhang Yan in horror, and asked:

"Ahem, ahem...... Who? Help me......"

"It's me," Zhang Yan walked up to him, not in a hurry to untie him, and asked, "Who made you like this?" ”

As soon as he heard Zhang Yan's voice, Zhao Sanyuan was stunned:

"Isn't that what you did?! I fainted suddenly, and woke up like that, who else could it be if it wasn't you? ”

"I'm not interested in playing with you like this, if you don't want to die, just follow me, don't run around."

Zhang Yan used a knife to cut the more than ten pounds of rope on Zhao Sanyuan's body, threw a clean towel to him, and got up and beckoned Zhao Sanyuan to go together.

Zhao Sanyuan was a little dazed.

After all, Zhang Yan kidnapped them all at the beginning and threatened them with a knife, and Zhao Sanyuan was not sure whether she was a good person or a bad person.

Such a person, now that he has saved him again, and let him follow her to save his life, Zhao Sanyuan is completely stunned!

However, out of instinct, Zhao Sanyuan still wiped the dirty water on his facial features with a towel and followed Zhang Yan, because Zhang Yan exuded a very confident and strong temperament.

Zhang Yan took Zhao Sanyuan to search room by room.

After following that Zhang Yan for more than ten minutes, Zhao Sanyuan's face was already pale with fright.

Along the way, all kinds of supernatural phenomena almost never stop!

The white figure suddenly sprang out from the corner, the strange laughter ringing in the ears, the faint smell of corpses, the cold wind blowing, and the sound of fingernails scratching the wall......

Zhao Sanyuan was extremely timid, these things stimulated his nerves, making his bladder tense with fright, and that bubble of urine would be squirted out in fright at any time!

At this time, Zhao Sanyuan didn't care if Zhang Yan was unreliable, he regarded Zhang Yan as a life-saving straw, followed her closely, and never left.

After all, Zhang Yan's temperament is quite calm.

Those things that were extremely terrifying in Zhao Sanyuan's eyes, Zhang Yan didn't react at all.

From this point alone, Zhao Sanyuan admired her, and admired the five-body throw!

Seeing that Zhang Yan was about to push open a room, Zhao Sanyuan was so frightened that he covered his face, worried about the supernatural event that would happen next.

This time it was a bit of a surprise, it was a study, and the bookshelves in it were empty, and there was nothing in the room except empty bookshelves and shabby tables.

Even the ubiquitous hanging paintings, there is not a single one in this room.

And in this room, there are no supernatural events.

Zhang Yan silently confirmed some of her guesses, turned around and left with Zhao Sanyuan, and opened the door next door.

This room is a bedroom, with a row of cupboards, a bed, and ...... A painting of a human figure.

Zhang Yan's gaze deliberately swept over the portrait, she went straight to the cabinet, opened the cabinet to check if there was anyone hidden inside.

Zhao Sanyuan burrowed into the inside of the room, and he seemed to think that it would be safer to have Zhang Yan blocking the door.

And just as he was crouching beside the bed and hiding, he seemed to hear someone calling his name from behind.

His hair stood on end, and he slowly turned his head.

But all I saw was a portrait painting on the wall.

Thinking that he had stared at a painting a few times before he fell unconscious, he felt that it was not good, and he wanted to look away, but his eyes seemed to be bewitched by something, and he stared directly at the eyes of the person in the painting, and he couldn't move away.

When Zhang Yan finished checking the cabinet and turned to look at Zhao Sanyuan, Zhao Sanyuan, who was still cowering in the corner just now, had already disappeared.

After turning around, Zhao Sanyuan actually disappeared again!

Zhang Yan finally found it for a long time to rescue such one, why is it gone in the blink of an eye?!

This annoying little trick completely angered her.

Through the observations just now, Zhang Yan has actually discovered a key point-

All kinds of paranormal phenomena only appear where there are portraits.

Where there are no portraits, the paranormal phenomenon is relatively weak.

Zhang Yan looked sharply at the portrait painting in the room.

She took gasoline and matches from the space ring, smashed the frame, and burned the painting!

In the burned painting, there are women's screams and curses, but Zhang Yan is indifferent.

The raging flames turned into a woman's blurred face, and it roared angrily, questioning Zhang Yan—

"I don't want to kill you, why do you keep ruining my business?! You can conjure a lot of things out of thin air, it seems that you are not an ordinary person, you are a demon? Is it a Taoist priest? If you want to kill me, come back tomorrow, I'll kill you obediently, please leave today! ”

Zhang Yan looked at the flame with a smile.

It seems that the ghost was provoked by her.

can't scare Zhang Yan, and her mental power can't affect her, this ghost's combat power is not good, and it can only reason with Zhang Yan in exchange for conditions.

And Zhang Yan, of course, has no interest in her quid pro quo.

She chopped down the cabinet next to her to burn firewood, and added a handful of firewood to the burning painting to make the fire even stronger.

Soon, in the midst of the ghost's screams and curses, the painting was completely burned to ashes, and the ghost could no longer use the painting to convey her anger.

Zhang Yan sneered and took out a fire extinguisher to extinguish the fire and walked out of the room.

She quickly went through every room on the first floor, gathered all the paintings that hung on them, and no matter how much the female ghost interfered with her with the patterns on them, she did not respond.

More than 30 paintings on the first floor were looted, and Zhang Yan still kept them in the living room, and burned them clean!

After the fire was burned, she used a fire extinguisher to extinguish the fire, so as to prevent the female ghost from using the fire to calculate herself.

Then she went up to the second floor and continued to do the same thing.

After searching for more than a dozen paintings on the second floor, Zhang Yan accidentally found Zhao Sanyuan and Zhang Xiaoyu in a room.

Zhao Sanyuan was not tortured by the female ghost this time, but fell asleep on the ground.

Zhang Xiaoyu was lying on the ground, holding his stomach all the time, and he fainted for some reason.

Zhang Yan saw that there was a pot of live loaches next to Zhang Xiaoyu, and Zhang Xiaoyu's stomach was swollen, half of his mouth was stuffed with raw loaches, and the corners of his mouth were still a few loach corpses slipping down.

It seems that her belly should be stuffed with raw loaches.

Zhang Yan frowned and woke Zhang Xiaoyu up.

After waking up, Zhang Xiaoyu began to vomit while holding the basin, and sure enough, he vomited a large clump of dead loaches.

Zhang Yan also woke up Zhao Sanyuan, and when Zhang Xiaoyu finished vomiting, Zhang Yan briefly talked about the painting and asked the two to help him move the painting.

When looking for paintings, Zhang Yan found four other people in turn.

When Pan Jing was found, he was in a coma, and there were no external injuries and no torture.

The delicate Bai Yunyun was tied to the bed, she had all her teeth knocked out, her mouth was stuffed with blades, and her lips were sewn with threads, and she was terribly dead.

Zhang Yan gave her three bottles of water to make her barely rinse the blood in her mouth, but the wound still kept oozing blood, and Bai Yunyun couldn't speak in pain, and swallowed the blood into her stomach.

Ning Bai, who was obese with acne, was stuffed into a cement bucket, and there was a stove next to it to dry, and when Zhang Yan arrived, the outermost layer of cement was almost solidified, and Zhang Yan took some effort to get Ning Bai out of the cement.

I don't know if it's because of the struggle or what, Ning Bai didn't completely seal it in the cement, there was still some space left next to her legs covered by cement, only the top cement solidified relatively quickly, and it was sealed very tightly.

The organizer of the event, the administrator of the website, his name was Lin Kai, and he was found in an entertainment room.

Lin Kai's hands were brutally nailed to a dilapidated keyboard, each finger corresponded to a key, the long nail penetrated the knuckles, and the broken keyboard was nailed to the wall, which made Lin Kai unable to move, and the pain of his ten fingers and heart also made him unable to force his hand out after trying several times.

With these six rescued people, Zhang Yan collected all the paintings on the three floors and set them on fire.

After lighting the fire, Zhang Yan looked at her watch.

It was half past eight in the evening.

There are still three and a half hours to go.

In the raging firelight, the other six people had different expressions, some relaxed, some dignified, and some fearful.

They all knew that the female ghost could shuttle through the painting and could use it to charm people's hearts, so they seemed to be relieved as the painting was burned to the ground.

But then, they don't know what Zhang Yan wants to do.

Zhang Yan looked at them with a confused look and explained lightly:

"I'm here to catch ghosts. The ghost is hiding among the six of you, and while the rest of you don't know what I'm trying to do, she knows I'm looking for her, so she's been hiding. ”

When they heard that the ghost was among them, the six were shocked!

The six of them immediately dispersed and distanced themselves from each other, but they didn't dare to be too far away from people suspected of being the same kind because they were afraid of being attacked.

The expressions on their faces were very funny in Zhang Yan's opinion.

After Zhang Yan went through Yan Zhuo's mental power training, she could actually easily judge some mental illusions, although she couldn't crack them, she could see which one was real and which one might be problematic.

The rope that binds Zhao Sanyuan is real.

The loaches that Zhang Xiaoyu swallowed are real.

The cement that trapped Ning Bai was real.

The blade in Bai Yunyun's mouth is real.

The nail on Lin Kaixuan's hand is real.

As a result, after such a screening, it was Pan Jing in the explorer team who was the most suspicious.

Because he was the only one who fainted, and was not punished in any way.

Zhang Yan's suspicion of Pan Jing has increased, and she plans to further test him.

She pulled Pan Jing aside and carefully inquired about him before and after he fell unconscious.

And Pan Jing didn't know anything when he asked, but he didn't understand anything.

Zhang Yan couldn't help but think: This Pan Jing is too obvious, right? Was he framed?!

Thinking of the possibility of planting......

Zhang Yan suddenly recalled a detail - Bai Yunyun's profession is painting.

And all the supernatural events in this villa are related to the painting.

Now, Bai Yunyun's tongue was cut out, and she couldn't say anything, no one knew what happened before and after she fell unconscious, and she couldn't ask.

Is this Bai Yunyun deliberately hiding her voice?!

Quite suspicious!

Zhang Yan was so excited that she almost pasted the Heavenly Master Talisman directly on Bai Yunyun's head.

But just when she had this urge, a small detail on Pan Jing made her hesitate again.

Pan Jing's upper was stained with two spots of white ash.

If you look closely, it should be the traces of cement solidification!

Cement......

Zhang Yan had already guessed who the ghost was.

She was silent, she did what she planned, she didn't even suspect Bai Yunyun anymore, and pointed directly at Pan Jing-

"Stay away from Pan Jing! He's the ghost! ”

After shouting this sentence, Zhang Yan took advantage of the situation and stuck to the others.

Taking advantage of the chaos of the crowd to dodge, Zhang Yan coldly took out the Heavenly Master Talisman and pasted it on the back of Ning Bai's girl's head!

Ning Bai, who was stuck in the Heavenly Master talisman, was stunned for a moment, and then let out a terrible scream, and a light blue flame ignited on his body!

That's right!

That's this Ning Bai!

Ghosts have no body.

Zhang Yan felt that the methods of torturing other people should have been done by Ning Bai, a female ghost, manipulating other victims, but if she wanted to clear her suspicion, she would have to harm herself, because there was no entity, and it would be a little more troublesome for her to do this, at least the punishment method that would bleed would be exposed.

A large living person is trapped in cement, no matter how much he struggles, it is impossible to only have the top layer that is not broken, and the lower layer can have a gap of two fingers.

If you guessed correctly, in order to clear her suspicion, the female ghost Ning Bai deliberately threw Pan Jing into the cement first, and asked Pan Jing to light the stove to speed up the drying of the cement, and fixed the cement into the shape of two legs.

Pan Jing's legs should have been wrapped with plastic film or something, otherwise it would not be so clean, and after he came out, he sealed a thin layer of cement at the interface as a cover.

The cement stained on Pan Jing's shoes is proof of this!

When Zhang Yan asked for information before, Ning Bai obviously didn't need to mention that Bai Yunyun could draw, but Ning Bai still took the initiative to say it, which exposed her intentions.

In addition, Bai Yunyun's mouth was deliberately damaged, and when she was suspected, it was really unproven.

Ning Bai, who was wrapped in flames, looked at Zhang Yan resentfully and spit out a few curses.

Zhang Yan plucked out her ears, not bothering to pay attention to her curse.

In less than half a minute, Ning Bai was burned to ashes.

She walked to the window next to her and swept the creeper away with her knife, revealing a starry sky.

Above the starry sky, a few lines of her long-awaited words appeared in front of her-

[Congratulations on successfully solving the sixth question and finding the real ghost.] 】

[Since you answered question 6 correctly, question 7 is still a reasoning question related to ghosts and strange things.] 】

【Teleporting to next scene......】

The deserted haunted house disappeared in front of Zhang Yan's eyes, and she returned to the playground of that campus.

The male teacher with glasses waited for her indifferently, and flipped through the textbook irritably:

"Whether you're ready or not, question seven is about to begin. Please listen to the question - Ning Bai, the female ghost in the haunted house just now, why did she harm other people? What was the cause of her death? It can be reasoned within ten minutes within a time limit, and only the logic is self-consistent. ”

Zhang Yan was stunned by this question.

What the hell?!

Are these two questions still related?!
