Chapter 113: Substitute for the Ghost
"Please, guest, you're welcome." The old man's expectant voice echoed in the silent dining room.
Is this a matter of politeness?
Can this be eaten?
"Come and do it...... Game. The woman said abruptly to the three of Zhou Duan.
Zhou Duan glanced at the food on the woman's plate: "Don't talk while eating." β
Woman: "......"
Old man: "......"
It is undeniable that just as the woman said "game", Zhou Duan felt a force descend here.
Robin's face changed, and the small mirror in his hand was also placed close to his body, staring at the old couple with a serious face.
"What do you want to do?"
At this time, even Elena noticed the change in her surroundings, and she wanted to stand up, but her body seemed to be frozen in a chair.
"Owl." The woman chuckled under her breath.
The old man's sigh followed: "Six days, we waited for six days, and finally waited for someone to come. β
"What the hell are you?" Zhou Duan was also a little curious at this time, because his body couldn't move either.
"Circle...... Circle. The woman's shriveled tone finally brought emotion to itβhappiness.
As soon as the words fell, the original living room dining table suddenly changed, and the original long shape became a square.
The woman's body disappeared from her previous seat, and her wrinkled face appeared in the middle of the table.
There are only heads.
The woman's head still had a low smile: "Someone...... Game! β
The unusually ugly head rolled happily on the table.
Elena's face was already pale, and although Robin and Zhou Duan could still maintain their composure, only the parties concerned knew what was going on.
On the woman's chair sat the "weak" old man, who sat on the four sides of the square with Zhou Duan.
"Why are we playing games with you?" Zhou Duan asked rhetorically.
"We have the right." The old man replied briefly.
"What about the rules of the game?"
The woman said in a gloomy voice, "I...... Close your eyes...... Guess...... That's right...... Change ......"
Zhou Duan had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Ghost games." The old man explained, "The one in the middle will close his eyes. β
"Close your eyes." The woman in the middle repeats.
"We and the people with our eyes closed would randomly change the angles of our positions." The old man continued, "Then let the middle person guess who is behind him, right...... The other party replaces the middleman...... Play tricks! β
"What if there's a bevel behind her?"
Old man: "......"
"No, the game begins." Choked for a moment, it took a long time for the old man to speak.
"Wait!" Zhou Duan suddenly interrupted the old man, "Can you interfere with the judgment?" β
"Let's go." The old man had no intention of explaining.
In a trance, Zhou Duan only felt that he was on the high-speed star rail train again.
When he looked at it again, he had already arrived in a mysterious dark space.
The heads of the other three and the woman were also there.
The three of Zhou Duan and the old man held hands and formed a circle.
This made Zhou Duan feel naΓ―ve and frightened at the same time.
"Get started...... Finish! The woman's head exploded unexpectedly.
Zhou Duan looked at the old man, and the other party didn't seem surprised by this.
"Cage sew, cage sewn
Birds in a cage
I want to run all the time
It was the night before dawn
The moment when the white crane and the turtle are united (the crane and the turtle slip)
Who's behind you? β
The grotesque music abruptly emerges in the space.
Suddenly, the old man who was originally holding Zhou Duan's left hand began to run in a circle quickly.
"Remember where we are now." Robin didn't know what he was seeing, and reminded.
Then everyone instantly expanded the hand ring to the maximum range and began to run in the circle.
But soon Robin's anxious voice sounded: "There is no basic reference to this place, Cole, can you remember?" β
Zhou Duan's body ran a little uncontrollably, but fortunately he could still speak: "The reference is the exploding head, it has been above us, what did you find?" β
"His hand!"
Hearing Robin's words, Zhou Duan looked at the old man's hand full of pitted wounds, as if he had been bitten by something.
"If the woman is a ghost and this one isn't, it means that there must be some special signal between the two of them, so a direction that we all know must be in our favor."
Hearing Robin's words, Zhou Duan agreed in his heart.
As for this phenomenon of disorientation in the void, it has no effect on the periphery of constant existence.
There will be friction and centripetal force in the rotation run, and if you want to control the direction, you must add a force to break the force equilibrium.
"Elena, can you control the flames?" Zhou Duan asked.
"I'll try." Elena mobilizes the whole body to express enzymes.
"Yes." A flame is created out of thin air.
Zhou Duan didn't let Elena attack the old man, he tried, and there seemed to be some protection mechanism on the other party, and his attack didn't work.
The four of them turned in circles, although Zhou Duan knew the location, but neither he nor Elena could generate external forces to control the direction.
Is this game all about luck?
Just as the four of them had turned around for hundreds of times, a transparent flame suddenly rose and died around them.
The flames scorched the bodies of several people.
It's just that except for the old man, the faces of the other three people turned pale in an instant.
"What is this?"
Zhou Duan only felt that this flame was much more violent than the red dragon's spitting.
Fortunately, the flames came and went quickly, and they didn't leave any traces on several people, but they felt a little unbearable pain.
"Coming back?" A man with a body as if charred emerged from the void.
The earthy yellow spear pierced out directly, piercing through the opponent's body.
"Bang!" The charred corpse was burned to ashes in mid-air by Elena's flames.
"That's it!" Zhou Duan's eyes lit up, and he clearly felt his control over his body, but before he could be happy, a familiar head fell directly between the four people.
Rest.
Looking at the back of his head covered with scalps in front, the old man looked at Zhou Duan in horror.
At the last moment, Zhou Duan couldn't hide it, and directly sent everyone back to their previous position.
Robin's head looked at Zhou Duan with only eyes that could be turned.
Zhou Duan's eyes moved up and down.
"Speak up...... Answer...... "The woman seemed to announce the result herself, her closed eyes completely covered by her eyelids, and she was terrified."
The old man's eyes were a little dejected.
"Clindo." The woman's voice rang out in the void.
Clindo?
Isn't this the name that Zhou Duan used to introduce the woman after entering the door?
And the woman didn't seem to know the names of the others.
The old man's eyes looked as if he had seen something extraordinary.
"Bang!" The strange space was shattered, and Zhou Duan and several people reappeared in the living room.
Outside sunlight shone in through the windows.
Opposite Zhou Duan and the three of them, a woman with a still beautiful face was gently caressing an old man with gray hair.
The old man's clothes were gone, and his body was littered with marks left by biting teeth.
Shocking.
"For ...... What the? The old man's tone became very strange.
The woman looked at the curtains that were opened at some point, and she didn't care about the gaze of the three of Zhou Duan, and smiled: "After sleeping for so many years, my body is a little rusty." β
"Why did you say my name?" The old man's body trembled, and his originally full body seemed to have become a little twisted from the great pain he had experienced.
"Because...... I only know you. The woman spoke in an innocent tone, and in just a moment, the old man not only became shriveled, but also had dark spots.
And the woman's body is getting smaller and smaller, and now she looks even younger than Betteka.
Her answer made the old man a little stunned, and then he suddenly looked at the woman: "You are not Claire!" β
The woman snapped her fingers: "Did you just find out now?" β
As he spoke, a beautiful head appeared next to the old man who had collapsed to the ground.
"This game ......," said the old man with difficulty.
"It's just a sacrifice, and I took your life." After speaking, he didn't give the old man a chance to struggle, and waved his hand directly.
The old man's body dissipates directly.
At the end of the week, Elena and Robin both looked at the woman as if they were facing a great enemy.
"Three...... Thank you for your help. The woman made a graceful gesture, "Introduce yourself, my name is Claire." β
Zhou Duan didn't know whether to trust this woman or not, and from the other party, he clearly felt threatened.
"And how do you want to thank us?" Zhou Duan made a tentative speech.
"This time, I won't kill you." The woman's voice disappeared into the void along with her body.
"I'll give it to you, old allies."
