Chapter 44: The Man in the House

These seven people are still unnamed characters, but their appearance is very crucial, because in the novel, the protagonist is talking to them and realizes in which direction he should flee.

The ghost town in the novel has an exit, and as long as you reach that exit, you can escape and ascend to heaven. However, there is no specific mention of where the exit is located in the ghost town. It's just that the protagonist asks for its location from the mouths of these seven people.

Whether there is an exit in the ghost town or not, they don't think about it for the time being, in short, they need to ask from the mouths of these seven people about the location of the exit just like the protagonist of the novel.

"You're not from this town, are you?" One of the seven asked, a middle-aged man with a pot lid on his head.

"Is there anyone in this town?" Li Shuai was amused by this person's hairstyle, and then he pointed to the streets and alleys where these seven people came out:

"You guys were over there?"

"Well, it feels haunted over there." A woman with a ponytail said in fear:

"When I walk along the streets, I can always hear movement in the buildings on both sides, and ...... There are still people who speak. But when we entered, we couldn't see half of the figures. ā€

"I see." Xiao Mo was silent on the surface, but his palms were full of cold sweat, and then he asked again:

"When did you go into those rooms? Are they all in? ā€

Everyone looked at Xiao Mo puzzled at this time, except for Wen Qiayun's ugly face, everyone else looked confused.

"I went in when I heard the voice, it's so scary here, of course we're together." After the pot lid finished speaking, he also asked Xiao Mo in turn:

"You also came in from the outside?"

"Well, I came in in a daze, and I'm looking for an exit right now." Speaking of this, Xiao Mo asked emphatically:

"I wonder if you know where the exit is?"

"We're looking for that, too. If I found it, I would still be here! But ......" Speaking of this, the head of the pot lid suddenly said, as if he suddenly thought of something:

"I think the place where the sound just started should be the place where the exit is."

"Well, we got it, thanks for the reminder." Xiao Mo said, and gave everyone a look, signaling that they could go. But at this moment, the head of the pot suddenly stopped Xiao Mo, who was about to turn around and leave:

"I don't know what is going on here, wouldn't it be safer for us to stay together, so why do we have to go apart."

"Because we still have friends over there. We've said we'll meet in a while. Xiao Mo casually made up a reason, but the seven people, including the head of the pot, had already come over in a surrounding manner.

Seeing this, he heard Xiao Mo's face sink suddenly, and then shouted at everyone:

"Run, these seven people are all ghosts !!"

As Xiao Mo shouted these words, he heard a piercing whistle from the danger alert on his body. The seven ghost figures who wanted to surround were shocked, and Xiao Mo and the others took advantage of this gap to desperately flee into an alley.

But not long after they fled, the seven ghosts also crept in. Fortunately, there is Li Shuai and Chen Cheng blocking it, and the speed at which they are catching up is indeed not fast, that's all. They're the thrill to get rid of them.

Everyone couldn't tell the direction here, but they had gone around in these labyrinth-like alleys for an unknown number of times before, and now the direction was even more difficult to discern, as if they couldn't tell the direction when they came out of the inn.

Resting. Wen Qiayun said with palpitations:

"It's a good thing you found out in time that they were ghosts, otherwise, if we follow the plot. If you go with them, you must have been killed by them a long time ago. ā€

"They're not too strong ghosts, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to escape." Xiao Mo was a little depressed, because the reality plot and the plot of the novel were well connected before, but now it's good, and there will be a 180-degree change in an instant.

"But come to think of it, I don't think that ghost creature is right." Chen Cheng opened his mouth for a rare time, and heard him say:

"Compared to us outsiders, ghost towns and ghost towns, the towns are undoubtedly all ghosts. Therefore, those who know the exit are naturally only the ghosts who live in the town.

Moreover, the location where the three gongs rang before was also like the direction that the ghost had pointed out to us. Maybe we can find the right direction and try it. ā€

Hearing Chen Cheng's analysis, Li Shuai pursed his lips and said:

"The biggest problem that bothers us now is that we can't figure out the direction, and besides, the location where the gong rang from before is just a position that we can roughly hear with the inn as a reference, and we can't determine it at all with the current situation."

"Actually, I have an idea." Wen Qiayun suddenly mentioned yƬ at this time and said:

"I don't think we need to know the direction at all, as long as we find a direction and keep walking, we might be able to reach the exit. Because it's just a small town, it can't be boundless. What's more, in the plot of the novel, the protagonist walks in one direction all the way until he finally finds the exit and escapes. ā€

"But Wen Meimei, don't forget that the plot has changed."

"It's changed, we can also use it as a reference, otherwise, the handsome guy will think of a way to come out?"

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€

In fact, according to Xiao Mo's guess, the place where the gong sounded should also be the place where the exit is, or, even if it is not the exit, it must be a place closely related to this ghost town. Because the ghosts are awakened by the sound of the gong, maybe as long as the gong is controlled again, the ghosts in the town can disappear.

As for the direction that is not directional, they don't know the direction in the first place, so even if they determine the direction, it is useless, it is better to go in one direction as Wen Qiayun said, instead of changing the direction back and forth like they did before.

After weighing it in his heart, Xiao Mo made his decision, and the alley in front of him:

"Let's go in this direction, and maybe there will be a windfall."

However, just as Xiao Mo pointed out the direction they were about to go, the door of a room beside them was suddenly opened, and four people walked out of it.

After having the experience of the previous seven "people", Xiao Mo dared to stay where they turned around and wanted to escape, but they were stopped by those four people:

"Don't be afraid, we're not ghosts, we're human."

Xiao Mo didn't have a lie reader, so he didn't listen to what the person behind him said at all, and only knew that he fled with everyone in the direction he had chosen before.

The four men behind him were so frightened that they refused to listen to them, so they cried out loudly:

"Come out of all who are hiding!"

Hearing this, everyone stopped in unison, because at this moment, from the room in front of them, someone also came out. (To be continued......)
