Chapter 76: Bone Arm
Hallucinations themselves do not kill, and none of those who die during paranormal events are killed by the hallucinations themselves.
They will die simply because, when they are in a hallucination, the five senses are useless, and even if the ghost is nearby, they cannot see it at all.
Shi Nianwen's perception and reaction are far beyond ordinary people.
He felt it as soon as the bony arm reached out of the screen, and then he dodged backwards with great speed.
Even so, the fingertips of the bone hand almost touched his throat. Just in such an instant, a black mark appeared on the skin on his neck, as if a ghost mist had seeped into his skin.
Shi Nianwen was frightened into a cold sweat, and after avoiding it from a distance, he looked at the bone arm, still shocked.
The screen is not damaged, and the screen is still playing like a surveillance video.
Shi Nianwen was keenly aware that the arm was not actually stretched out from the "screen", because the screen was not an entity.
Hallucinations?
He subconsciously glanced back quickly, trying to find tools that could protect him, such as brooms, mops, etc.
However, there is nothing here.
Where the hell is this? Have I ever left my hotel?
Shi Nianwen was still staring at the bone arm, and at the same time groped around.
He hit the wall.
Continuing upwards, he touched a painting.
Is it that abstract painting in the living room of a hotel room? In this case, about two and a half meters to the right is the bedroom door, and after entering, there is a TV cabinet one and a half meters to the left, and in the drawer under the TV, there is a pair of scissors.
The only question now is whether the hallucinations involve only sight and hearing, or if all five senses are affected.
Shi Nianwen groped his way to the drawer, pulled it open, and took out the scissors.
He wasn't going to fight hard in the past, he wasn't good at fighting, and he picked up scissors just to improve his sense of security a little bit.
The bony arms were still reaching in his direction, gradually revealing their shoulders and head.
There was part of the flesh on the shoulder, and the rotting flesh hung from the skeleton, which was extremely disgusting and horrible. And the skull was even more terrifying, a pair of eyeballs hung down, there was no skin, only blackened rotten flesh still hung on the face.
Shi Nianwen gasped and subconsciously raised the scissors.
In front of him, it was still the room with the screen just now, and the illusion had not been broken.
At that moment, the half-rotten evil spirit trembled for a moment, and then opened its rotten jaw, wailing in pain.
Immediately after, a hand came out of the demon's mouth.
Shi Nianwen, who couldn't believe his eyes, had his brain chaotic again, but he could only watch the evil spirit twist and wail in front of him.
The arm in the demon's mouth stretched longer and longer, while the demon's own right arm continued to disappear.
In this way, a whole person came out, and the evil spirit disappeared little by little.
The hallucinations also disappeared.
The moment the illusion disappeared, Shi Nianwen's vision also lost its effect, because there was no light here, and it was pitch black outside the window.
"You...... Who are you? ”
Shi Nianwen did not ask, "Are you a human or a ghost?" and continued to remain vigilant.
If it were a human being, it should answer his question. But if it's a ghost, whether he asks or not, he's likely to die.
"I'm the lobby manager of this hotel."
The man replied, a blank look in his voice.
"Manager? What's your name? ”
"Huang Xiuqiang."
"Manager Huang, what happened just now?"
"Just now?"
In the dark, the two were talking, but Huang Xiuqiang was still very dazed.
After a few seconds, as if remembering something, he said, "There's a power outage?" I'm so sorry, I'm going to send someone to fix it, please wait. ”
"Wait a minute!" Shi Nianwen followed the voice and walked over and grabbed Huang Xiuqiang's arm, "You tell me, you were ...... just now How did it get out of that demon's mouth? ”
His words made Huang Xiuqiang stunned again, and then he said, "Sir, please don't make such jokes. I'll call for someone to fix the electricity right away, you wait. ”
With that, he walked out of the room in the dark.
However, not long after he walked out of the room, there was a scream, and then there was silence.
The scream was extremely terrifying, Shi Nianwen was shocked, and his feet, which were about to step out of the threshold, immediately retreated.
Outside...... What's there?
He brought his eyes to the cat's eye and looked out.
It was pitch black outside, and he couldn't see anything.
Suddenly, he felt a wave of heat hit his back, and a faint orange-red glow appeared around him.
He turned around alertly, only to find that the living room behind him had been engulfed in flames.
How could it suddenly be so big a fire?
The scene in front of him once again shocked his cognition, and he knew very well that in such a short time, even if there was a fire, it would not be possible to burn so quickly.
Then, a thought jumped into my mind.
Is that really fire?
Shi Nianwen did not flee, but walked towards the fire.
The blazing flames scorched his cheeks, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
However, he was not injured.
If this was real fire, there was no doubt that his clothes and skin would be scorched at this moment.
Step by step, he approached the raging flames, his teeth clenched, his heart beating like a drum.
Finally, he stepped in, into the flames.
Almost at the same time, the flames abruptly vanished, as if they had never burned.
The room was once again dark and deadly silent, except for the sound of his own heavy breathing.
☆
A sharp pain came from the heart, even more intense than the last time.
"Dad......"
Shi Yuan's eyes widened, and he covered the position of his heart with his hand with a painful expression.
He clearly sensed that just now, his father, Shi Nianwen, had been threatened with death.
Fortunately, it was just a threat, and it didn't really die.
But this time, both of Shi Yuan's eyes turned red.
That's his father! If he lost his life because he was too slow, Shi Yuan would never forgive himself.
Gotta go faster!
Shi Yuan was so anxious that his breathing became disordered, and he coughed violently.
His throat ached hotly, but he quickened his pace.
Before the last "death", he only knew that he was hallucinating at the last moment, but he had already remembered many details before then. To prevent him from forgetting again, he wrote down everything he remembered in a notepad and kept it in a pouch on the outside of his backpack. Then, when he woke up again, he took out his notepad to look at it and analyze it.
However, he didn't make a note of how to tell if he was hallucinating, because by the time he remembered, he was already in a near-death state.
However, he judged from the limited records that he would be in danger if he remembered that method, which was why he died left and right.
