Chapter 338: Old Mansion in the Mountains (Hide)
"Can't open?!"
Although she had already guessed in her heart, when she saw this prompt, Tan Ying still felt flustered.
At this time, there was obviously not much time left for her, and it was not a good idea to go upstairs to the sound of footsteps, so the only option left for Tan Ying was to hide in the kitchen.
Without any extra thought process, Tan Ying turned around and ran towards the kitchen the next moment she made a decision, and the cold behind her was even stronger, and even the corner of her eye saw the rickety figure walking down the stairs.
"He's down!"
Tan Ying's heart trembled, and her steps sped up a lot, almost rushing into the kitchen as if she was running away, and at this time, the black shadow was still walking on the stairs, and at the same time making a hollow and hoarse voice:
Disobedience to me...... No good ending......]
The kitchen wasn't huge, the vents weren't big enough for an adult to slip through, and the nearby cabinets were even narrower, designed to accommodate miscellaneous items, and couldn't accommodate a human body.
Tan Ying looked around anxiously, trying to find a way to escape, but could only listen to the footsteps on the stairs gradually approaching.
[Warning: After being watched by evil spirits, you will die directly]
To add insult to injury, the death warning also appeared in Tan Ying's mind.
The content of this tip is very simple - as long as Tan Ying is seen by the approaching evil spirit, even if she just sees it, she will die directly, and there is no possibility of escape.
Her heart was beating violently, and Tan Ying even felt a little weak in both legs, and almost collapsed directly to the ground, but fortunately, she held on to the edge of the stove next to her with her hand, so she didn't fall.
"What to do...... What to do......"
Her thoughts became a little disordered under the influence of anxiety, and the more nervous she was, the more difficult it was to make progress, and the yin qi that was becoming more intense at that moment was also eroding Tan Ying's reason, as if she was destined to die.
At this moment, Tan Ying's only hope is in Tang Juyi's body.
"He said it...... Said what to do in the face of this situation......"
Repeating this sentence, Tan Ying's heart also recalled Tang Juyi's admonition:
"There is no such thing as a plot with no way out, only the wrong situation of not finding all the key clues. If the survival path on the surface is blocked, look for a way out from the key clues or plot items. β
Thinking of this, Tan Ying immediately thought of the box of matchboxes with words written on them, and it was also the only plot item she could find after searching the first floor.
"[Daddy won't let us play with matches, if he finds out, we must hide! γβ¦β¦ It is also said that if the evil spirit sees it, it will die directly...... Meaning to hide? Avoiding the sight of evil spirits? β
At the last moment, Tan Ying finally understood the message implied by the handwriting on the bottom of the matchbox, and set her eyes on the only place where she could hide on the entire first floor - the dining table.
There is a broken tablecloth on the dining table, but because the dining table is not too high, the tablecloth hangs down, just enough to cover most of the space at the bottom of the dining table, although there is still a part that cannot be blocked, but unless you deliberately squat down to look for it, it is difficult to find that there is someone hiding underneath.
By this time, the sound of slow footsteps had reached the last step, and it was about three steps before they reached the hall.
Tan Ying is faced with a crucial choice, or a gamble (not a typo of mistakes) with her life: either remain in the kitchen and pray that the evil spirit will not enter the kitchen to check, or rush to hide under the table before the evil spirit enters the hall.
You know, although the space under the dining table is covered by a tablecloth, there will still be a height of about 15 centimeters exposed, and if it is seen by evil spirits, it is 100% death!
Biting her lip, Tan Ying finally chose to gamble.
She turned around and threw herself forward as fast as she could, sliding all the way out of the kitchen doorway to the bottom of the dining table before stopping.
At the same time, she remained lying on the ground, just in time to see the rotten and blackened feet five meters in front of her, just walking out of the corner of the wall.
Most of the legs were rotten, and the moldy bones were still covered with shriveled flesh, and even pest-eaten hollows could be seen on them, and the edges were jagged, which was terrifying.
Accompanied by the cold, there was a strong fishy stench, which entered Tan Ying's nasal cavity, almost making her vomit on the spot.
In order to avoid being discovered by the evil spirit, Tan Ying could only use her fingernails to squeeze her waist, use pain to curb this feeling of nausea and vomiting, and at the same time cover her mouth with her other hand to prevent herself from making a sound.
The darkness in the room had risen a lot from the moment the evil spirit appeared, and even the light emitted by the candlelight was forced to dim, even flickering, as if it could be extinguished at any moment.
The evil spirit walked barefoot on the floor, first walking around the coffee table, leaving a visible stain on the ground with each step, and a creepy voice continued to come out of his mouth:
Who is ......?
γFind you...... Don't spare ......]
[Not allowed...... Disobey my will......]
[I said ......]
Tan Ying felt unwell because of the fishy stimulus, coupled with a strong sense of fear, tears flowed from her eyes unconsciously, but even so, she was still trying her best not to make a sound, even if she sobbed.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The barbarian put his mobile phone to Tang Juyi's ear and asked in an encouraging-like tone:
"Don't you want to know how she's doing? She can't initiate a call in advance, but I can give you a privilege...... You can help her escape the crisis and even tell her how to survive...... If you want, I'll be able to get you through right away. β
Tang Juyi's eyes could vaguely feel the light emitted by the mobile phone screen, but most of it was still red and black. He listened to the words of the barbarian beside him, but shook his head unusually decisively:
"No, you don't. There are still two hours left, and I can wait slowly. β
The barbarian was somewhat surprised:
"Are you really so relieved of your wife? I don't think you know how many horrible things are hidden in that house, with herself-"
Before the barbarian could finish speaking, Tang Juyi interrupted him in a calm tone:
"I know, and it's clear. But it was because I knew what a terrible thing might exist in that house that I wouldn't start a call. β
Saying that, Tang Juyi even showed a sarcastic smile:
"I can guess what's going on in your stupid, ugly head...... They want me to put her in a desperate situation with my own hands, and then mock me, so that you can see my anger, my chagrin, and my remorse...... Do you think you can use this to humiliate me as a counterattack? Heh......"
Tilting his head, Tang Juyi opened his blood-stained eyes, and his attitude can be said to be extremely arrogant:
"The more you say that, the more certain I am that she is in a state where she cannot be disturbed, or noticed...... As long as I can't help but initiate the call, there is a good chance that she will go straight to the dead, and I will lose hope of being rescued. In that case, how could I possibly let your little cleverness succeed? β
Another heavy punch hit Tang Juyi in the abdomen, causing him to kneel on the ground and gasp for a long time. But when Tang Juyi eased up, he smiled even more happily:
"Look at ...... You still say you're not a villain? β
