Chapter 304: Pondering
I don't know where to start, looking for Bai Yanliang when I encounter trouble, and then throwing the problem to him to solve, has become the subconscious behavior of most people in Wuji.
Even Xu Zhifei is no exception.
When she finished reading the script of the first act, the first thing that came to her mind was Bai Yanliang.
But...... Bai Yanliang is a human being after all, and he is also incapable of protecting everyone anytime and anywhere.
What's more, Bai Yanliang's own predicament is not simpler than that of anyone who encounters a powerful ghost.
A childhood personality was born in his body, although Bai Yanliang once said that he had to believe in that five-year-old child.
But in Xu Zhifei's understanding, the mood when he said that sentence should be more helpless.
Therefore, while Xu Zhifei was fleeing for his life, he began to think about a way to rescue Qi Nian.
Although there was an extremely terrifying ghost chasing behind him, Xu Zhifei had no other choice now.
She glanced at the script of the first act again in a hurry.
Qi Nian and Bai Yanliang will both encounter a monster called Heartstalker in the basement.
That monster...... It seems to be related to vows, promises, promises, and matters of the heart.
When describing Qi Nian's death, the script used the statement that Qi Nian violated his oath.
Other words...... Qi Nian promised the monster something.
Maybe she agreed under the strange power of the script, maybe ...... It was indeed she who said it herself.
This also reflects the horror of the script, most of its choices will be in line with that person's character, even if it doesn't quite match, but under the cover of the horror atmosphere, it is difficult to notice.
In this way, it is difficult for even oneself to detect that he has made any strange moves.
It's not like before entering the villa, when you can't control your body and language.
After all, everyone's perspective is to observe others, and the object of observation is not themselves.
Maybe in the eyes of others, Xu Zhifei also had a very abnormal behavior, but she couldn't find it.
Xu Zhifei's feet did not stop, and he was still going to the depths of the villa.
Although this unspeakably large villa is very brightly lit, the majestic rain and the terrible lightning and thunder still bring great psychological pressure to people.
Not to mention, Xu Zhifei clearly knew that he was being targeted by a slender demon.
This A4 paper has been written full, and the plot has stopped appearing, so about his plot, Xu Zhifei only saw a beginning.
So...... Written Act II, Act III, and even Act IV, Act V...... Is the A4 paper of the plot distributed elsewhere in this horror villa?
It would be a huge help if you could find those plots before they happen.
But...... This A4 paper, which records the plot of the first act, appears really weirdly.
There was obviously only an A4 piece of paper on the wooden table, which Ouyang Kang suddenly discovered......
Wrong!
Xu Zhifei's heart moved...... That A4 sheet of paper also appeared out of nowhere!
Except for his own group of four, the other five people all entered the hall early, and there was no reason why they could not see such an obvious piece of paper.
The A4 sheet of paper that recorded the plot of the first act had not been found before, because it didn't exist at all!
But...... Why did it appear out of nowhere?
Xu Zhifei was divided into two uses, frowning and thinking hard.
She realized that as long as she figured out why the A4 paper appeared, she had a good chance of finding the remaining paper that recorded the plot.
At last...... Synthesize complete scripts.
At this moment, Xu Zhifei suddenly felt awkward in his heart.
Wrong...... What do you want to do now?
The most important thing now should be to save Qi Nian first...... Why do ideas go in other directions?
Xu Zhifei felt a little weird.
She calmed down, forcibly interrupted her train of thought, and focused on Qi Nian.
The script of the first act states the specific cause of Qi Nian's death, as well as the specific location, so the best way to save her is to let her miss the heart-stalker from the beginning.
But...... From the perspective of time, Qi Nian is likely to have triggered the curse of the heart-stalker by now.
had to think differently, Xu Zhifei's breathing was a little short.
She kept an eye on the movement behind her as she searched for an exit to the dungeon while trying to figure out a way.
It's not impossible, but under mental tension, it can quickly lead to fatigue, which is often referred to as exhaustion.
The good thing is...... The slender demon hadn't caught up yet, and Xu Zhifei hadn't even seen its shadow.
Maybe...... Did it go upstairs?
Or went in the other direction?
If that's the case, it couldn't be better.
Xu Zhifei encountered many forks in the way upstairs, but it was impossible for her to go up now.
The exit of the dungeon was at the lowest level, and she had to go to the exit first to find Qi Nian.
Of course, there is a better way, and that is to call Qi Nian.
But what to tell her? Xu Zhifei still has no clue.
If Qi Nian had already agreed to a certain request from the haunter, what should he do?
Judging from what was written on the script, Qi Nian found the key, and then, the script described Qi Nian as breaking his oath.
Plus the basement is called a dungeon.
Xu Zhifei guessed...... What Qi Nian promised should be to find the key and release the heart-stalker from the dungeon.
What would happen if Qi Nian kept the agreement?
Unleash a ghost ...... Is it safe?
No way!
Absolutely can't let it out!
This matter is far more difficult than Xu Zhifei imagined.
Abide by the agreement, let it out is likely to die, and if you violate the agreement, it is also death if you don't give it the key.
What to do......
Is there anything else that can be chosen somewhere?
The choice of having a branch means that it can be changed in the future......
Pregnant!
There is one more place to choose from!
According to the description of the first act script, Qi Nian died tragically at the exit of the dungeon.
Does that mean...... Away from the exit of the dungeon, even if the original script is changed?
As long as Qi Nian is not near the exit of the dungeon, she will not be killed at the exit of the dungeon.
No...... No, it doesn't.
The script only wrote down the final place of Qi Nian's death, but did not write the process.
In case the process of it being omitted is actually the process of the haunting ghost looking for Qi Nian in the entire villa, it means that it is useless for Qi Nian to hide anywhere.
Eventually, she will be dragged to the exit of the dungeon, and then killed by the ghosts.
Finally...... What to do?
Xu Zhifei's eyes moved slightly, although she was trying to calm her emotions and stay calm, every second that passed meant that Qi Nian was close to death.
This feeling of knowing the development of things, but being powerless, made Xu Zhifei's heart full of torment.
She stopped and rested against the hallway.
Thankfully, she's safe now.
The lanky demon hasn't ...... yet
Xu Zhifei's mind had just flashed half of the thought of "that slender demon hasn't caught up yet" when he saw an unusually tall shadow projected on the corner wall he had just walked through......
