Chapter 299: Ghost Fight
"Ahh Wu Zhengran screamed in horror and fell to the ground, taking several steps back.
Under the candlelight, what imprinted into his eyes was a face that was half green and half white, the blue seemed to have been turned into a cyan by the extreme cold, and the white was as white as a dead man, and it did not look like a living person at all.
"Hah...... Ahem...... Ha, am I that scary? The figure on the ground got up and stepped into the candlelight.
Wu Zhengran noticed that although this person's face was quite ugly, it was indeed Gu Renyun, and not only did he have this on his face, but he also had many traces of frostbite on his body, and his right hand was even weaker, as if he had lost his consciousness, and the whole person looked quite miserable.
"It's really you, what's wrong with you?" Wu Zhengran hurriedly stepped forward to help Gu Renyun up, but as soon as he touched the other party's body, he shrank back violently, as if he had touched hot boiling water.
Actually, it's not because it's hot, it's because it's cold!
A biting chill that made people's hearts cold came from the place of contact, as if as long as the contact was long, they would be frozen to death, which was a colder feeling than ice.
After Wu Zhengran subconsciously retracted, he immediately realized that his behavior was very impolite, but he did not immediately make amends, but hesitated to be on guard - can people really go to this point and not die?
You must know that he felt like he was going to freeze to death just by indirectly touching the other party's body, but the other party was a positive body, and looking at the other party's performance, it didn't seem to be too painful......
The figure didn't mind Wu Zhengran's performance at all, but instead looked at the room by candlelight, but Wu Zhengran noticed that when the other party was observing the room, he seemed to pay most of his attention to the small door, as if he was afraid that something would rush in.
Wu Zhengran looked at this person with some hesitation, except for the other party's body, his behavior seemed to be quite normal, but Li Er at the beginning was also normal......
He cautiously asked tentatively, "Brother Gu, what happened, how did you do this?" β
The figure rummaged for something, and replied nonchalantly: "What else can it be, it should be that ghost, anyway, as long as a cold hand touches me, it will be frostbitten, and the key is that I can't touch him yet, by the way, I haven't asked you yet, what is your situation, where did you get the candle?" β
"Frostbite...... This is not just the degree of frostbite......" Wu Zhengran muttered to himself, he always felt that something was wrong, Gu Renyun's attitude was too relaxed, obviously he would die violently at any time in this state, or even a dead person, he also believed that any normal person should not be so indifferent in the face of this situation.
However, he still told his experience, but he stayed away from Gu Renyun and was always on guard.
"Then your treatment is much better than mine, you still have light, but I can't see anything in the dark, and I have to deal with the ghost in the dark, if I don't suddenly see a little light coming out of here, I desperately rush over, then maybe it would have been GAME-OVER a long time ago, speaking of which, after I came to this house, the ghost didn't seem to come, why do you say that?"
"Give the door a puppet taste...... What is it? Wu Zhengran was thinking about the meaning of this word, and suddenly he inadvertently noticed something, and couldn't help but look at it: "Brother Gu, where is your little pet?" Why is it not by your side? β
As he spoke, Wu Zhengran moved lightly and took a few steps away from Gu Renyun.
Wu Zhengran is holding a candle at the moment, it is the only light source in this room, no matter how gently he moves, how can he hide it, Gu Renyun was stunned, then smiled bitterly, and didn't check the situation in this room, "Okay, it turns out that Brother Wu, you suspect that I am a ghost......
Then he carefully explained: "That little thing is very simple, I was able to support it in the dark for so long, but thanks to that furball, I can't touch the ghost, but the hairball can, but the hairball is not aggressive, I can only use it as a weapon to smash at that ghost, this can delay for so long......"
"What!" Wu Zhengran exclaimed, "You used that little thing as a weapon to smash at the ghost? β
Wu Nature's eyes when he looked at Gu Renyun changed, and there was a sense of "so you are this kind of person", and then he looked at the door worriedly: "In other words, that little thing is still in the house where there is a ghost?" β
Gu Renyun said depressedly: "You said earlier that that thing might be disguised by a demon...... Besides, isn't your concern wrong, aren't you worried that I'm a ghost? β
Wu Zhengran was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed: "I believe you are not a ghost, how can there be such a strange ghost......"
After letting go of his worries, he walked to Gu Renyun's side curiously, stretched out his hand and touched the other party's body carefully, the blue parts of his body were still so cold, but the parts of other colors were much better, and he still had body temperature, but this was too strange, and his heart was full of doubts.
"By the way, Brother Gu, your body is like this, don't you feel pain?"
Gu Renyun stretched out his hand and knocked away the hand that Wu Zhengran touched: "You don't have to worry about that hairball, although it is not aggressive, its body is very powerful, no matter what it is, it can't hurt it." β
"As for my body...... It's just that you feel bad, but it's not. I suspect that this cold is mainly spiritual cold, if you are more afraid of this cold, then it will get colder and colder, until you freeze to death, but if you don't care, then this is actually just average, probably equivalent to putting your hand in cold water in winter, although it is uncomfortable but acceptable. β
"I think that's what the goblin is doing all the time, he has to scare us before he can do it, in fact, his ability is very limited."
"Really?" Wu Zhengran was surprised and puzzled, surprised that it sounded like this ghost was very easy to deal with, and puzzled, if it was really so easy to deal with, then how did Gu Renyun become like this......
Gu Renyun nodded affirmatively: "Of course it's true, otherwise you won't be able to see me now." β
Wu Zhengran touched Gu Renyun's body again, and then frowned and said, "It's still so cold......"
"As the saying goes, it's easy to deceive others, it's hard to deceive yourself, if you want to make yourself believe that this is not cold, how can it be so easy, you have to really believe it before you can believe it, how can this skeptical attitude work!"
"And how did you do that?"
"I ...... Anyway, it's all just a game for me, it's all fake, so what's there to care about? β
"What do you mean?"
That means...... It's like a dream, it's all fake, so I'm not afraid."
"But it's not a dream......"
Gu Renyun waved his hand and said, "Forget it, don't mention this issue, let's quickly find a way to break the situation, this ghost won't let us stay in this room safely until dawn." β
"That's right! That's the priority! Wu Zhengran suddenly realized, but then frowned: "I have already checked this room and found no problems, so I need to go to the room on the left side of the hall to take a look...... But to go through the hall ......"
After the two told each other what happened to them, it was obvious that the hall was the strangest and most dangerous place, and now that he had been delayed here for so long, Li Er's family would definitely finish eating, and it was impossible to say what would happen.
Moreover, he and Gu Renyun returned to the hall, it is very likely that there will be that kind, Gu Renyun will return to the dark hall, and Wu Zhengran will return to the bright hall, and it will be a danger for the two to be separated at that time.
"Don't hesitate, now we have only this way to go, it's better to go early than late!" Gu Renyun walked towards the small door indifferently, now his mentality is very detached, he has completely regarded this as a game, since it is a game, this room has been searched, of course, it is to move towards the next step, even if it is dangerous below......
Who has ever seen a player stop advancing the plot because they are afraid that the boss below will be difficult to beat?
"Wait!" Seeing that Gu Renyun was about to step out of this room, Wu Zhengran suddenly shouted, Gu Renyun was stunned: "What else is going on?" β
Wu Zhengran walked quickly to Gu Renyun and handed him the candle in his hand, "Although it may not be effective, let's cross this door together, maybe we can be together...... By the way, you have this candle too, it is dark in your place, but it is brilliant in my place, in case we are separated, you need this candle more than I do. β
Gu Renyun was stunned for a moment, subconsciously took the candle, looked at Wu Zhengran's serious face, and couldn't help but be moved in his heart, this is really a good person.
Wu Zhengran's side is not 100% guaranteed that there is no need for candles, you must know that according to what he said, now that Li Er's family has finished eating, it is very likely that there will be changes, so there is no guarantee that there will still be brilliant lights.
It is true that from the perspective of possibility, Gu Renyun is more likely to need candles here, but people are selfish, and between the needs of others and their own needs, most of them will meet their own needs first, especially when it comes to life.
Because one of Gu Renyun's hands was completely frozen and unable to move, Wu Zhengran could only pull his frozen hand, because Gu Renyun's other hand was about to hold a candle, and that frozen hand was naturally very cold, but Wu Zhengran seemed to be unconscious.
Of course, this is impossible, even if he can ignore the influence of spiritual power, but at least he has the feeling of being in cold water in winter, and the chill in it is not shallow, otherwise Gu Renyun's hand will not be frozen, it will be short, if it is a long time, it is very likely to cause irreversible damage, but Wu Zhengran did not show any pain......
Time is precious, the two of them didn't talk nonsense, Wu Zhengran stepped out of the door first, and Gu Renyun followed closely behind.
But the moment he stepped through this door, Gu Renyun felt that the frozen hand came back weakly, and gently hit his waist, it was obvious that they were still out of touch, this was his dark room.
Gu Renyun is not in a hurry, success is an accident, failure is normal, his current mentality is very good.
"Chirp ......" The sound of the hairball not far away sounded, still so cheerful, and with the sound of jumping, it seemed to be jumping towards him.
Gu Renyun looked at his arm with a wry smile, he only had one hand now, and he still had to hold a candle, but he couldn't hold the hairball, not to mention, the ghosts here were still hiding aside......
Let's hurry to the door on the left, maybe after that, you will not only find out, but also meet Wu Zhengran.
Gu Renyun strode towards that side, the hall was not big, less than 20 steps at most, and after a few steps, Gu Renyun found the hairball with the help of the cyan candle flame, and the hairball also sped up excitedly after seeing Gu Renyun, and ran to Gu Renyun's feet.
"Huh?" The hairball made a puzzled cry at Gu Renyun's feet, in the past, when it walked here, Gu Renyun would pick it up, but now there was no response.
"Hairball, you can go with it yourself, I can't hold you now." Gu Renyun took a few steps forward and beckoned to the hairball behind him.
"Huh?" Seeing Gu Renyun walking away, Maoqiu hurriedly chased after him, but after seeing that Gu Renyun didn't mean to hug him, he simply hugged Gu Renyun. legs, and then climbed on top of Gu Renyun's head step by step.
Gu Renyun breathed a sigh of relief, of course this is the best, otherwise he could only leave the hairball here temporarily.
He looked around a lot, and it was strange that he didn't encounter the ghost this time, but he wasn't in the mood to dig deeper.
Three or two steps to the door on the left, open, step in.
It was pitch black, and there was not half a figure in sight......
"Brother Wu?" Gu Renyun is not good in his heart, it stands to reason that if he wants to catch the hairball, he should be slower than Wu Zhengran......
β¦β¦
After Wu Zhengran stepped through the door, he saw one or two in front of him, but his hand was loose, and the cold and piercing feeling suddenly disappeared.
"Can't you come?" Wu Zhengran looked around, and suddenly his eyes lit upβthe five members of Li Er's family stared at him expressionlessly with their dead fish-like eyes, which made him feel very bad.
"Is there anything dirty on my face?" Wu Zhengran forcibly squeezed out a smile and said nonsense.
Li Er's family didn't react, just stared at him, turning their heads as he moved, like a sunflower forever facing the sun.
"Hehe, I'll go over there and have a look, you are free, feel free to ......" Wu Zhengran cautiously walked against the wall, and when he walked to the side of a candle, he grabbed a candle......
At the moment when Wu Zhengran picked up the candle, a sudden gust of wind blew, blowing the candle flame in the hall to the point of flickering, and a white figure suddenly appeared in the middle of the hall, that is, opposite Li Er's family.
The figure seemed to be a woman, her long hair obscuring her face, and the clothes on her body were more like a white cloth than clothes, and a cold aura emanated from her body.
Suddenly, the dull eyes of Li Er's family became smart, and they pointed at the woman in white and shouted excitedly.
"It's you! I know you, you killed us! β
"We are dead......"
"Today is the night of the soul......"
"We have to repay the wrong, and we have revenge!"
β¦β¦
Wu Zhengran was stunned, the situation was different from what he imagined!
Ghosts kill people, and then people become ghosts, and ghosts and ghosts fight each other...... Isn't this just a joke? If this is really the case, then what do ghosts do to kill people, to find enemies for themselves?
