Chapter 344: The Old Mansion in the Mountains (Escape)
On the balcony of the old house, a few dead potted plants were placed in the corner, and no one had moved them for decades, but now, these pots were shaking.
The solidified and agglomerated soil was very hard, but it was gradually crumbling, as if something inside was about to break through.
Soon, the dirt of one of the pots spread out, and a slender and tattered hand crawled out of it.
It was a woman's hand, the outline of the skeleton had the characteristic slender and slender of a woman, but the skin had long since rotted completely, leaving only a shriveled and blackened skin covering the white bones, and even the roots of plants were entwined on it.
The hand was severed from the wrist, apparently severed by some kind of blunt object, and crawled out of the soil as if it were self-conscious.
First a hand, then an arm, then a leg...... All the surrounding pots crawled out of the shell parts, and together with the palm that came out first, and finally formed the slender figure of a woman—the rotten skin aside, the curve of this shell is indeed called slender.
She leaned down, dug up the soil of the last potted plant, and then removed her bare skull and placed it on top of her broken spine.
Then, she turned her head and aimed her empty eye sockets into the hallway, her stiff jaw moving and a terrifying sound coming out of her throat......
[Liang Tianyou's evil spirit has awakened]
[Yuan Xia's evil spirit has awakened]
Two prompts sounded at the same time, and Tan Ying also heard the sound from downstairs. Not only the study, but even from the balcony, there were footsteps appearing, obviously the sound of Liang Tianyou and Yuan Xia's evil spirits revived.
Tan Ying trembled and stretched out her hand, using her hand to support her body and move forward, because her legs had already spasmed from excessive fear, and she couldn't stand up at all.
Tan Ying knew very well that most of the secrets in this room were hidden in the brown diary. If she wanted to understand the key to the house's past, she had to get the diary.
The round table was less than five meters away from the door, but Tan Ying moved for half a minute. The resentment was so powerful that her emotions were on the verge of collapse at any moment, and it was already difficult to control her body.
The evil spirits downstairs seemed to have fully recovered, and Tan Ying could even hear the sound of them walking up the steps. The fear in her heart became more and more intense, and Tan Ying had no choice but to reach out as much as she could and try to take down the diary on the table.
Finally, Tan Ying's fingers reached the edge of the diary with difficulty, and then pressed hard, and the diary fell off the table and fell to the floor at the same time.
"Bang Dang"
A dull sound sounded, which was clearly audible in the house, and Tan Ying didn't even have time to show joy before her face changed because of the sound of falling.
Originally, the footsteps on the stairs were heading downstairs, but because of this sound, they quickly locked on to the location on the third floor.
Who is it...... Broke into my room...... I said it...... It's a forbidden place......]
Liang Tianyou's roar came, which made Tan Ying's heart even colder.
Without hesitation, she quickly grabbed the diary on the ground, and then felt the resentment that constantly invaded her body suddenly receded, all shrinking into the small diary, and her fear also subsided a lot.
Without the intrusion of resentment, Tan Ying regained control of her body, so she also successfully stood up, although her legs and feet were still a little trembling, but it was undoubtedly much better than the previous situation when she could only crawl.
At this moment, the task prompt sounds:
[Current Mission Objective Change: Escape from the Old House]
Tan Ying bit her tongue fiercely, using pain to dispel the fear in her heart, and the powerlessness in her leg also faded under this bite, giving her the strength to escape.
"We must ...... it quickly"
Tan Ying stumbled and almost fell due to too fast running, but fortunately stabilized her figure.
Although he managed to run to the door, the two evil spirits below had already rushed up the steps. Their speed was not very fast, but it was also much faster than ordinary people, and they had already approached Tan Ying's location in less than twenty seconds.
At this time, Tan Ying was only about six meters away from these two evil spirits, and according to their speed, it only took four seconds to come to Tan Ying.
Tan Ying stood at the door of the secret room, and only had time to glance at the two evil spirits before realizing that there was only four seconds left between herself and death.
At this time, Tan Ying had no idea, only knew that she couldn't be touched by these two evil spirits, and the only remaining path was left, so she didn't hesitate to pounce forward, directly climbed over the railing, and jumped down before the evil spirits of Liang Tianyou and Yuan Xia went up to the third floor.
This is the only way Tan Ying can think of, and it is also the only way she can implement it, after all, there is no way to avoid the situation just now, even if she turns around and retreats into the secret room, there is no way out, so naturally she can only survive in danger.
Because her body was an ordinary person's physical fitness at this time, she couldn't control the balance of her body after falling from the third floor, and immediately hit the handrail on the edge of the stairs twice, once in the back, once in the chest, and then fell on the steps on the first floor.
The first few hits not only hurt her back and chest, but also broke her right leg when she landed. Tan Ying couldn't even scream, so she was carried away by the intense pain, only to feel that her vision was gray, her body was curled up, and even her breathing was very difficult.
The strong tinnitus made Tan Ying unable to judge the situation of the external environment, and she didn't know how long it would take for the two evil spirits upstairs to go down to the first floor, and she could only vaguely hear Liang Tianyou's roar, but even the content was vague and inaudible.
"Gotta ...... Leave the gate...... Escape from ......"
Tan Ying, who fell to the ground, gasped, barely opened her eyes, and roughly judged the direction of the gate from the blurred and dim vision, and then turned sideways, moving towards the gate of the old mansion with her hands and feet.
She couldn't get up, she could only move forward little by little, and this movement alone almost exhausted her strength.
Because of the fracture of her right leg, even a little movement will cause pain, Tan Ying only crawled out two or three meters before her face was bloodless, and her forehead was soaked with sweat droplets.
"And ...... Again...... A little ......"
There was a hurried footstep on the steps behind him, and it was clear that the two evil spirits were quickly chasing after them.
Tan Ying clutched the diary in one hand, and clasped the gap in the floor like a claw with the other, dragging her body with all her might.
"Can't die...... Can't ......"
Aside from the pain, Tan Ying's only remaining consciousness was the desire to survive.
