Chapter 50: Fear Descends (18)

"Tang Wu? Great, you're still alive. Huang Rui said happily when she saw her lost companion.

"It's just a fluke." Tang Wu said with a wry smile.

"I'm sorry, the information on this operation is wrong, I shouldn't have brought you here." Huang Rui said with some embarrassment.

"You shouldn't have come yourself, this place is too dangerous." Tang said, "What should we do now?" "In the face of the supernatural events in this world, Huang Rui, who is the leader of the special team of the supernatural research laboratory, is more experienced than herself, and Tang Wei has always listened to Huang Rui in her previous actions.

"Go upstairs." Huang Rui immediately said, "We can't leave this building from the hall on the first floor, we can only escape by going upstairs and going up to the rooftop." ”

"Okay." Tang Wu said dryly.

Following Huang Rui towards the staircase, Tang Wu sighed: "Thanks to you this time, otherwise I will never be able to escape alone, and I will invite you to eat mutton-stuffed dumplings when I go back." ”

Huang Rui frowned and said, "What do you think, I don't know if I don't like to eat mutton, and I hate eating rice balls even more...... Also, Is there a tangyuan with lamb stuffing in this world? ”

After walking up the stairs, Huang Rui came to her senses and asked, "Have you encountered a vision again?" ”

Tang Wu nodded and said, "Yes, I ran into another one, by the way, aren't you worried that I'm fake?" ”

Huang Rui smiled, raised the lantern in his hand slightly, and said: "I'm not worried, now the lantern is burning with ghost candles, which have a strong lethal and deterrent effect on ghosts, you can stand next to me, it proves that you are not a ghost, and you are not affected by ghosts." ”

Tang Yu took a closer look, at this time there was a red candle no more than three or four centimeters high in the ochre lantern, and during the burning of the candle, you could also see the grimaces that appeared at any time in the candle flame, and then burst out, which looked a little infiltrating. In addition, Tang noticed that under the swagger of the candles, the sketch on the wall of the stairwell stopped evolving, as if it had really become an ordinary painting.

Huang Rui sighed slightly and said, "A five-centimeter-long ghost candle cost me five hundred points, and this trip here is a big loss." ”

"It's good to survive." Tang Wu comforted.

"yes, it's good to survive. Having said that, if such a powerful supernatural event is found in Xiling District, there may be a point reward if you report it. Huang Rui quickly gathered her spirits.

In Xiling District...... The prefix given by Huang Rui caught Tang Yu's attention, and she asked, "...... the supernatural events in Xiling District?"

Huang Rui also realized at this time that she had accidentally leaked her mouth, but this was not too confidential news, it was just because Tang Wu's authority was insufficient. Huang Rui explained in a low voice: "We are generally responsible for the supernatural events in Xiling District. ”

Sphere of influence! Tang Wu quickly understood that the entire Xiling District was the sphere of influence of the Spiritual Research Laboratory.

For ordinary people, supernatural events are definitely a complete scourge, but the special team can get points by handing in the ghost sustenance, from this point of view, for the supernatural research laboratory, the ghost sustenance is valuable, and the supernatural event can be regarded as some kind of "resource". If the Xiling District is the sphere of influence of the supernatural research laboratory, it means that the "resources" of supernatural events in this area can only be "collected" by the supernatural research laboratory.

On the other hand, as the organizer of the 1414 Paranormal Hotline, the Paranormal Research Laboratory should also be responsible for maintaining social order and ensuring that Ryan City is not destroyed by large-scale paranormal events. From this point of view, Xiling District is not only the sphere of influence of the supernatural research laboratory, but also her jurisdiction, so Huang Rui said that there will be points rewards for reporting this supernatural event. This supernatural event at Minggui Hotel is at least C-level, and may even be B-level. A supernatural event that exceeds the D-level is already considered a large-scale supernatural event, and even if it is not commissioned, the supernatural research laboratory cannot sit idly by and watch the large-scale supernatural event appear.

The five-centimeter-long ghost candle requires 500 points, which is indeed a bit expensive, but the effect is very good. However, this ghost candle burned very fast, and the speed of Huang Rui and Tang Wu was not slow, but when they reached the fourth floor, only one staircase away from the rooftop, the ghost candle burned out completely.

The surroundings were dark again, and Tang Wu said, "I don't feel very good, do you still have any candles?" Hurry up. ”

Huang Rui, who was standing next to her, said angrily: "Do you think these ghost candles are very cheap, or do you think that the points are easy to earn?" It's gone, no candles are gone. "Mainly because Huang Rui didn't expect this mission to be so troublesome, these five-centimeter ghost candles were all redeemed by her for the sake of insurance, and she didn't expect to use them at all.

"How easy it is to use the ghost candle! Why didn't you redeem a little more? Tang Wu muttered, "When I go back, I will definitely exchange my points for some of this thing, which can save my life at a critical moment." ”

"Don't you know? This thing has an expiration date. Huang Rui is also in a pretty bad mood right now, "and the shelf life is still very short." Otherwise, Huang Rui would not have considered exchanging points for equipment produced in the laboratory after receiving this task.

"Okay, what now?" Tang asked asked. As an excellent trialist, Tang Wu is not without life-saving hole cards, but the life-saving hole cards are also desperate hole cards, and I don't know how many lives I have left in the end. In this case, it is better to ask Huang Rui, maybe she has a good way!

"Let's go to the rooftop, according to my calculations, the only one who can escape from here is the rooftop." Huang Rui said in a firm tone.

In fact, after the ghost candle was extinguished, they did not stop completely, but went up the stairs step by step, but at a much slower pace. There is no way to do this, without the protection of the ghost candle, every step they take, they have to bear considerable risks, no one knows if there is a fierce ghost standing not far in front of them, holding a blood-stained axe, waiting for the prey to be sent to the door.

"Alright, then we'll go to the rooftop." Tang said, "But it's better to be faster." In Tang Yu's perception, this short corridor was full of all kinds of dangers, and if there was another choice, she would never have walked in.

"Good...... All right. Huang Rui took out a lighter from her pocket, and a blazing white flame appeared, illuminating a small part of the hallway.

"This is what you exchanged for points as well?" Tang Yu asked curiously.

"It's not." Huang Rui said helplessly, "I bought it myself, it's an ordinary lighter." In addition, we really have to hurry, according to past experience, this ordinary flame not only can't restrain the ghosts like the ghost candle, but will have a stimulating effect on the ghosts. ”

Tang Wu glanced at the wall of the corridor, was secretly taken aback, and said, "Okay, you're right. ”
