Chapter 18: You're already dead

It was her own shadow on the windowpane.

On the window, her face was pitch black, as if she had no facial features.

Finally, she couldn't hold it anymore, her eyes went black, and she fell to the ground.

……

"Actually, you're already dead."

"Ahh

Shi Yuan opened his eyes suddenly.

He thought he was awake, but he saw that he was surrounded by "people".

They come in all shapes, twisted, chaotic, and incomplete. But without exception, all of them were covered in blood.

"What are you surprised about? It's time to tell you the truth. ”

A half-headed "man" said in an eerie voice.

"The truth? What truth? ”

Shi Yuan couldn't help but ask.

He had sat up, staring in horror at the "people" who were clinging to his bed.

"The truth is, you're dead."

The half-headed man continued.

"The reason why there are so many ghosts in this Dark Raven Ridge is because this place is a part of the dark world."

Said a "man" next to him who had his arm pierced through his chest.

Looking at those twisted and terrifying things, Shi Yuan felt that his head was about to explode.

They talked and talked for a long time, and Shi Yuan finally understood everything.

He understood that he had died on the second day of the seventh month. However, he thought he was still alive.

The reason why he, and everyone else, couldn't leave Dark Raven Ridge was because there was no way for the dead to return to the Ming World.

When some people die, they immediately accept the fact that they are dead. But there are also some people who do not want to face their own death.

They are desperately struggling to survive, to get back to reality, to their original lives. However, all in vain.

And those so-called "tasks" are actually nothing more than "pastimes" set up by "some force".

These people, who, like Shi Yuan, did not want to believe that they were dead, so they became the executors of the mission, and they were put in danger again and again, and they endured torture again and again.

And in the course of the mission, some people realized that they were already dead, and completely broke away from them.

That's why those people disappeared mysteriously.

There are also those so-called "special abilities", which are actually illusions. It is impossible for people to have such amazing abilities.

"Don't you believe it?" One "person" said, "If you don't believe me, you can now unfold your so-called perceptual domain and see if you can perceive us." ”

The expression on Shi Yuan's face was unprecedentedly frightened, because he knew that what the "person" in front of him said was true, and these people around him were obviously not living people, but he really couldn't perceive them.

He couldn't even open the Perception Domain.

"You're already dead, you just don't know it."

Said a "man" with a completely rotten face.

"You'll never go back to your old life."

Said a "man" with unbelievably long limbs and neck.

I've ...... He's dead?

Shi Yuan's eyes were full of fear.

……

"Yan Yanning! Yan Yanning! Wake up! ”

Goddess Fang shook Yan Yanning anxiously, and pinched people hard.

After a long time, Yan Yanning finally opened his eyes slowly.

"You're finally awake."

Goddess Fang didn't smile, just wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Seeing Goddess Fang, Yan Yanning's eyes widened suddenly, and he trembled all over, struggling to stay away.

"What's wrong with you? Am I scary? ”

Goddess Fang asked puzzled.

Only then did Yan Yanning realize that what he had just done was not reality.

But it's not a dream.

What's that, exactly?

"Did you hallucinate just now?"

Goddess Fang asked.

"Good...... It seems to be. ”

Yan Yuning didn't dare to look directly at Goddess Fang, and lowered his head and said.

"There are indeed some evil sects in this village, and it seems that I am overestimating the situation here."

Goddess Fang looked around and said to herself.

She looked at Yan Yanning again and said, "Don't sit on the ground, get up quickly, otherwise it will be easy to catch a cold." ”

Why does this sound so familiar?

Yan Yanning stood up blankly.

"It seems that I shouldn't have left you here alone," Lady Fang said to herself, "For the sake of safety, we will try to be together in the future." ”

As she spoke, she looked at Yan Yanning very seriously.

Yan Yanning felt that her eyes seemed to contain some deeper meanings, but she couldn't see through that meaning. Still, she instinctively felt that it might have something to do with her life.

Fang Priestess She ...... Is it really supernatural?

"What have you found?"

Yan Yanning asked.

"It's not like an investigation, I'm mainly going to ask why my cousin didn't live in this building with Luo Yasen."

"For ...... Why? ”

Yan Yanning became nervous again.

"I don't understand what he said," Fang Shennu's eyes showed a hint of confusion, "He said that there was a change in his body, and he would burst out and hurt people at any time, and then let me leave quickly." ”

"That's right."

A trace of disappointment actually floated in Yan Yanning's heart.

……

Shi Yuan woke up suddenly.

Is it a dream?

He let out a long breath and looked around the room.

There doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary.

He unfolded the perceptual domain, and everything was normal.

There was no one on the third floor.

The second floor can be said to be quite lively now, with a lot of people, and Shao Jianjun, who originally lived on the first floor, got together with several colleagues at the moment.

Wait, where did Wang Jingyi go?

In Shi Yuan's perceptual domain, there was no figure in Wang Jingyi's room.

There are currently only three people on the first floor - Luo Yasen, Wen Yuzhe, and Lin Yaqing.

Shi Yuan sensed that something was wrong.

Where did Wang Jingyi go?

Shi Yuan turned on telekinesis vision and looked at Wang Jingyi's room.

Is that......

He immediately ran briskly towards Wang Jingyi's room.

When he opened the door, what he saw was Wang Jingyi's body that had been cut to a bloody blur. His head was split diagonally, and blood was splattered all over the ground.

"Wang Jingyi!"

His perceptual domain burst out.

No! Not anywhere!

In this building, there is no black humanoid at all!

Who killed him?

A few minutes later, everyone gathered in the living room on the first floor.

Several of the girls were already scared silly, trembling and crying incessantly.

"Royasen, do you have anything to say?"

Shi Yuan's eyes were extremely sharp, like a sharp sword, which could instantly penetrate people's hearts.

Luo Yasen looked at him and said slowly: "I just had a dream, I dreamed ...... I killed Wang Jingyi. ”

"What? You killed that person in your dream? ”

Shao Jianjun immediately said loudly.

Luo Yasen squinted at him and said word by word: "I dreamed that I killed him, not in a dream. ”

"What's the difference? Aren't they all the same? ”

Shao Jianjun didn't have a good impression of Luo Yasen, especially when he saw him for the first time, he held a machete in his hand.

(Happy today, one more more.) )10
