Chapter 57: The Tiger's Lair
"Did anyone see him? He's all with us just now! The cook pointed to the tree in horror and shouted, "We were standing there back to back!" β
No one answered him, because everyone had already guessed what happened to the cashier...
Ye Mu squinted his eyes and said softly, "I was captured."
The atmosphere in the team suddenly became heavier.
No one knows who will be caught next.
Those who are captured by female ghosts will be released early the next morning.
But they will be tormented by life and death, just like the previous victims, they will be extremely itchy, their skin will peel off from their muscles little by little, and eventually they will slowly die.
In the morning, the people found the sleeping cashier in the bedroom of the wooden house, and he opened his eyes in a daze, and asked in confusion, "What is wrong with me?" β
"You..." Ye Mu sighed, turned his head and said no more.
The chef hugged the cashier's arm and wept bitterly.
The cashier seemed to remember what happened last night, he jumped up from the bed, fell to his knees with a 'poof', grabbed the cook's arm in horror, and asked in a trembling voice, "I... Am I caught by a female ghost? β
The crowd turned their heads away, and no one was willing to answer his question.
"Am I being caught?" The cashier burst into tears and shook the chef's shoulders vigorously.
"It's... Be... You're caught by her. The chef grabbed the cashier's hands and wept.
"Nope! How can it be! I don't believe it! β
"Why me! Why are you all okay! Why are all those Chinese unscathed! β
The cashier pushed the chef away, took out the Sande knife pinned to his waist, rushed towards Ye Mu with red eyes, and stabbed the blade in his hand towards Ye Mu, who was closest to him.
"I see! They're behind it! They are in collusion with the devil! β
'Ahh The short blade stabbed on Ye Mu's chest was directly bounced off.
Qin Aowu's blood gun followed, and a shot pierced the cashier's thigh, Dai Qing pulled the trigger with both hands, and two bullets directly penetrated the cashier's abdomen and chest.
The cashier howled and fell in a pool of blood.
Ye Mu looked down in surprise at the position where he was stabbed, a slight pain came from his abdomen, and the clothes on his body were unscathed, he lifted his clothes and found that there was only a shallow knife mark on his lower abdomen.
This white research coat looks like a treasure. Ye Mu said secretly in his heart.
He leaned down and looked at the cashier who was about to die, with a sullen face: "White-eyed wolf." β
"Are you alright?" Dai Qing grabbed Ye Mu's arm with concern.
Ye Mu smiled and said, "It's okay, my clothes are a treasure, invulnerable." β
After speaking, Ye Mu took off his white coat and draped it on Dai Qing: "You will wear it in the future." β
"And what do you do?" Dai Qing frowned delicately.
"Do you think I need it?" Ye Mu blinked.
"Okay, don't show it." Qin Aowu drew back his spear: "The top priority is to find a way to survive. β
Ye Mu glanced at the chef on the side seemingly casually, and said, "This person feels that he is dying, crazy, and wants to pull me on his back,"
The chef silently raised his head, looked at Ye Mu, and cried with a sad face: "I understand... I understand. β
"Hmm." Ye Mu nodded, threw out a fireball and burned the corpse on the ground, and sighed lightly: "I'll stay in the wooden house tonight, sacrifice to lure her out"
"Huh?!"
"Don't make a fuss!"
Everyone immediately exclaimed, but they didn't expect Ye Mu to choose to risk his life to seduce the female ghost, Dai Qing, Liu Wen, Qin Aowu, and Lu Xin stood up against it as soon as possible.
Seeing everyone's worries, Ye Mu smiled and said, "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't have to worry about it, that ghost can't help me." β
Seeing Ye Mu say this, everyone fell silent, Ye Mu was right, now letting Ye Mu seduce that female ghost is the best way to break the situation.
If it continues to be consumed like this, in the end, the ammunition and food will be exhausted, and everyone can only be captured.
Ye Mu walked out of the door and looked down at the tree, which was bare, there was nothing but dirt, and all the broken skins on the ground last night were gone.
After pondering for a moment, Ye Mu spoke: "Qin Aowu, go to the tree with me again to see if there is less skin on the tree." β
Qin Aowu didn't say much, he picked up Ye Mu and jumped to the roof, and the two climbed the big tree again one after the other.
Brushing aside the pink flowers that were obstructive, and looking at it fixedly, there was no shortage of dead people's skins on the tree, Ye Mu's brows furrowed slightly, and his gaze suddenly fixed on a pair of human skins hanging on the branches.
The skin gave him a sense of dΓ©jΓ vu.
"I'll cut down that branch, and you catch the fallen human skin from the tree with your spear." Ye Mu instructed Qin Aowu under him, then drew his long sword and cut off the branch with the strange human skin hanging on it with one sword.
The skin bag fell down with the branches, Qin Aowu stretched out the blood spear and picked it up in mid-air, and the human skin was skillfully wrapped around the gun, he held the spear in one hand and the big tree in the other, and climbed under the tree dexterously.
When the two of them arrived at the wooden house together, Qin Aowu shook off the human skin on the blood spear and spread it on the ground.
This is a man's skin, with yellowish skin and a height of only about 1.6 meters.
The two of them just glanced at each other and exclaimed at the same time: "It's the waiter who was killed before!" β
Ye Mu threw out a fireball and burned the skin on the ground, and said with a strange face: "This place is really weird, the three people who were killed before have been cremated by themselves, and now the bones are buried under the big tree, this skin bag should have been burned to ashes a long time ago." β
Qin Aowu sighed: "This kind of thing, it really can't be seen according to common sense. β
Ye Mu nodded and said: "I found that in this world, many things are beyond our expectations, the laws of all things are not certain, maybe it is precisely because of this uncertainty that miracles will be produced, if everything is interlocking like dominoes, then many things have been doomed from the beginning." β
Qin Aowu raised his head and said, "SchrΓΆdinger's cat? β
"Well, that's a good thing, at least it means we can choose our own destiny."
Approaching dusk, Ye Mu handed over the food and water on his back to Qin Aowu, and then said to everyone: "For the time being, what we have concluded is that if you stay outside the house, there is a high probability that one person will be caught, if you stay inside the house, the ghosts will take action to lure us into the bedroom, but if someone stays directly in the bedroom, then the rest of the people will be safe for the time being, of course, this is just my guess, you take care of each other tonight, don't let your guard down, I will stay in the bedroom of the wooden house." β
Everyone nodded when they heard this, and Dai Qin pulled Ye Mu's sleeve and was reluctant to let go, his eyes were full of worry.
Ye Mu smiled slightly, straightened the white coat on Dai Qing's body, reached out and stroked the top of the girl's head and said, "Don't worry about me, I'll take you out tomorrow." β
"Hmm."
Ye Mu's gaze swept over everyone's faces one by one, with a long sword in his arms, he took a piece of pizza in his mouth and walked into the bedroom.
Ye Mu sat cross-legged by the bedroom door, munching on the pizza in his mouth calmly, as if he didn't pay any attention to the impending danger.
Compared with Ye Mu's calmness, everyone looked nervous, their eyes were all focused on Ye Mu, and beads of sweat kept sliding down their cheeks.
When noon came, a cold wind blew, and the doors of the wooden house closed one after another, making a creaking sound.
Ye Mu sat in the bedroom, saw that the door in front of him was about to be closed, and quickly pulled out his long sword and wanted to get stuck in the crack of the wooden door, but found that the door that was originally close at hand suddenly became extremely far away, and the long sword in his hand could not touch the door frame at all.
He felt groggy and drowsy, and a strong sense of drowsiness swept over him, and the long sword in his hand fell to the ground, and he fell asleep in a daze.
It was as if I was in an extremely empty and silent space, with nothing around but a red sun hanging in the air.
'It's hot...'
'Where is this...'
Ye Mu felt the heat burning all over his body, as if he would be evaporated by the scorching sun in the sky at any time.
He looked up at the sun in mid-air, his face shocked.
That's a dry eye. β
Ye Mu stretched out his hands, wanting to touch the light source.
The withered eye in the air seemed to feel Ye Mu's call, and it slowly flew towards Ye Mu.
The moment his fingertips touched the fireball, Ye Mu's eyes suddenly opened!
