Chapter 40: Scorched Corpses
"You're already dead, and I can't do anything to you," Yan Yanning's voice said coldly, "However, there is still a living person in this building, and that person is what I must kill." ”
After Yan Yanning finished speaking, he stood up and slowly walked towards the stairs.
What did she say? And a living person? She had to kill that person?
The living person who is now on the second floor is......
Luo Yasen couldn't keep his calm and rushed towards Yan Yanning like crazy.
He didn't consider Yan Yanning as a ghost at all, he didn't think about his own safety, he only had one thought in his heart.
Can't let her kill Li Molei!
Luo Yasen's hand grabbed Yan Yanning's shoulder, but he didn't touch anything, but directly stumbled and fell to the ground.
But he had no fear. He's been through too many anomalous events, he's seen too many real ghosts, and he's not shocked by the slightest change.
He stood on the stairs, facing Yan Yanning, who was walking up step by step.
"Stop!"
Royasen roared.
Yan Yanning didn't squint as if he hadn't heard anything, and his footsteps didn't slow down in the slightest.
Luo Yasen knew in his heart that he had nothing to do about ghosts.
Yan Yanning was expressionless and walked up step by step.
She walked straight through Royasen and continued unhindered.
Luo Yasen's eyes were wide open, and his face was like ashes.
There was nothing he could do to stop Yan Yanning, he could only watch her walk step by step towards the second floor, towards the ending that made him desperate.
Suddenly, he turned around abruptly and looked straight at Yan Yanning's back.
He found that Yan Yanning's body had undergone some terrifying changes.
Her hair burned, then all gone. Her whole body was covered in flames, but the flames were extinguished after a few seconds, and her skin became charred black, and a large amount of blood poured out of her body all the way up the stairs.
At the same moment, a burning smell permeated the hall. At the same time, a series of terrible howls came from nowhere, making everyone feel a chill in their hearts.
There is no one with this Yan Yanning identity. Everything couldn't be clearer. She's a ghost, there's no doubt about it.
However, in the perceptual domain of Shi Yuan and the others, she was indeed white, just like everyone else.
Are we all really dead?
This thought irrepressibly reappeared in Shi Yuan's mind. Otherwise, he had no way to explain why his figure and Yan Yanning's figure looked the same color.
No, wait, there's something else!
Yan Yanning's transformation into a charred corpse was like a switch, and everyone was vaguely aware of some extremely subtle changes in their hearts. Shi Yuan looked at the charred figure that was still walking around, and suddenly understood something.
It was only then that he realized that from the first time he had dreamed, his mind had been unconsciously affected by some force, becoming fragile, slow, and cloudy like a polluted spring.
He really doubted himself. And now, he completely understands that all of this is a trap.
Of course, it is not only their thinking that is affected, but also his ability to perceive.
In the current perceptual domain, all people are white humanoids. In other words, the perceptual domain has lost some of its role.
Now they no longer have any means to judge who is a human and who is a ghost.
Except, Yan Yanning.
There was no way she could be a living person, no one doubted that anymore, for they had all seen the change in her with their own eyes, and saw her penetrate Royasen and walk straight over.
In addition, Shi Yuan also discovered a detail.
After careful recollection, Shi Yuan found that this Yan Yuning was slightly different from what he had seen before. This difference is not sensory, but objective, a nuance in the face.
Luo Yasen was completely desperate, his face turned pale, and the image of Li Molei's tragic death kept appearing in his mind.
At this moment, a figure quickly climbed the stairs, passed Luo Yasen, passed Yan Yanning who was moving slowly, and rushed towards the second floor.
However, his target was not the room where Li Molei was, but Liu Tong's room.
There, there was one more person.
That person is the real Yan Yanning. And this one who turned into a charred corpse was not her at all.
Shi Yuan held the master key in his hand and ran desperately.
Liu Tong's room was the farthest from the stairs among all the rooms on the second floor, and Shi Yuan knew in his heart that there was not much time left for him.
The reason why that fake Yan Yanning walked so slowly was to leave him time so that he could have the ability to save Yan Yanning. Shi Yuan judged this way because he knew that no mission was mortal.
The slow speed of the fake Yan Yanning is the narrow road to survival.
And Luo Yasen finally came back to his senses after Shi Yuan ran away.
"Merray!"
He subconsciously let out a low sigh, turned around and ran up to the second floor.
He didn't know Shi Yuan's movements, but he didn't care about thinking too much, and he only had the thought of saving Li Molei in his heart.
Luo Yasen kept blaming himself in his heart.
He also remembered it completely, remembered those details, and remembered Yan Yanning's changes.
He finally understood that Li Molei was just a scapegoat, and the real ghost was Yan Yanning, who had turned into a charred corpse.
Li Molei is still alive, alive and well! She's not wrong! She didn't hurt anyone!
Luo Yasen ran to the door of Li Molei's room in three steps and two steps, and slammed the door open.
Li Molei was taken aback, stood up and said in surprise: "Yasen? You...... What's wrong with you? ”
"Merley, quick, get out with me!"
"What? Escape? Why? ”
"Don't ask so much, run!"
Luo Yasen didn't care about explaining, grabbed Li Molei's wrist, and ran out like crazy.
The charred corpse was still walking slowly on the stairs, and it was impossible for Luo Yasen to take Li Merlei down the stairs.
Fortunately, the corridor on the second floor is a ring, and Luo Yasen can only take Li Molei along the corridor to avoid the charred corpse.
Although it is no longer possible to tell whether a person is a ghost or a ghost based on color alone in the perceptual domain, at least, the position of the humanoid is still very clear.
On the other side, Shi Yuan had already opened the door of Liu Tong's room. Inside, it was Yan Yanning who fainted to the ground.
Shi Yuan didn't dare to make a sound, but just picked Yan Yanning on his back and left the room quickly and silently.
With Luo Yasen's decision, Shi Yuan was also extremely careful to avoid the gaze of the scorched corpse, and together with Luo Yasen, he took Li Molei and Yan Yanning back to the first floor again after a nervous dodge.
Seeing Yan Yanning, who was still in a coma, everyone felt a burst of surprise, but they all reacted quickly.
This Yan Yanning is not the same person as the charred corpse that went upstairs just now.
"What should I do, Shi Yuan?"
Wen Yuzhe asked.
"Get out of this house first."
Shi Yuan whispered, and then ran out.
