Chapter 54: The Warm Resort (27)
When Lin Zhixing opened his eyes again, he was greeted by a dazzling warm yellow light. Subconsciously turned his head and covered it with his hand, Lin Zhixing had already found himself back in the hotel room at this time.
It's finally over...... He thought with palpitations, and the cold sweat had already soaked the clothes behind him.
"Look! They're awake! Wang Xinru's happy voice came into his ears, and then, a shadow fell on his face.
"How's it going, are you alright? Can you get up? Jin Haiping asked him gently, he nodded, sat up with Jin Haiping's support, and leaned against the cabinet door.
The other three also opened their eyes one after another, and after the four of them rested for a while, Jin Haiping asked, "What happened to you in the field?" ”
As soon as Liu Changdong wanted to speak, Lin Zhixing took over the conversation: "Harm, don't mention it!" As soon as I woke up, I appeared in a forest, and then I climbed up the tree and saw Liu Changdong being attacked by a monster with a fishtail in the lake, and then I quickly ran over to save him! ”
Lin Zhixing said, looking at the other two frail ordinary tourists beside him, and asked in surprise: "Eh, where have you two been sent?" Why haven't I seen the two of you, I thought that I would ask Liu Changdong in this field! ”
Everyone's eyes fell on the two of them, and the two ordinary tourists looked at each other with some embarrassment, and one of the ordinary tourists touched his name and said, "Uh...... I...... I...... I was passed into a wooded area and ...... I was scared, so I stayed where I was, and I didn't dare to move......"
Seeing this, another tourist also chimed in: "I...... Me too......"
Hearing this answer, Lin Zhixing sighed a little disappointed, and then turned to several hunters and said: "Alas, Liu Changdong's situation and I were urgent at that time, thanks to you finding a way to break through the domain outside and divert the attention of that monster, we were able to get out of danger......" Speaking of this, Lin Zhixing paused, and then asked: "Eh, by the way, how did you rescue us?" ”
"It's thanks to Xu Wenlong's little ghost." Jin Haiping replied, and then turned sideways, revealing Xu Wenlong, who was leaning against the wall with a pale face and a little weakness behind him, "Thanks to that little ghost of his, the domain can only be broken with the domain, and for this, he has also paid a lot of price." ”
Several people immediately cast grateful glances at Xu Wenlong, and Xu Wenlong only shook his head weakly and lightly. The little ghost opened his mouth again this time, and he estimated that all the health points given after the completion of this mission would have to be put in.
He Xu Wenlong is not a wicked person, but he is not a saint either. Originally, he was reluctant to use the power of the imp, and only wanted to use it only as a last resort in the final battle with the source thing. But that Kim Hae-pyeong...... Thinking of this, he looked at Jin Haiping's back and his expression darkened.
This man ...... He definitely still has hole cards on his body, but he doesn't use them himself, but throws the matter of saving people on himself...... If it weren't for the fact that the hunters still had to cooperate with each other, he wouldn't be able to show his unrighteous side. Otherwise, he would never have paid so much price to save others, it was simply worth the loss.
"What happened in the field, can you tell us in detail?" Jin Haiping didn't seem to care about Xu Wenlong's somewhat gloomy look at him at this time, the corners of his mouth hooked a slight arc, and he asked a few people gently.
"When I woke up, I was already in the lake." Liu Changdong replied at this time, "I was almost drowning at that time, but I still struggled to surface. At this time, I found that my supernatural props could not be used, and I was afraid of danger in the water, so I thought about getting ashore as soon as possible. But...... I was still caught by the thing in the water. ”
"That thing in the water? That 'human fishtail' thing? Jin Haiping's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Yes, I didn't dare to turn back or move at that time." Liu Changdong nodded, and then continued: "But the strange thing is that after I didn't move, it didn't move. So I just didn't move and stalemate with it until Lin Zhixing appeared and hit the thing behind me with a stone, and then the situation took a turn for the better. ”
Speaking of this, Lin Zhixing scratched his head a little embarrassed, and Liu Changdong continued: "That thing seemed to be frightened, so it dragged me into the water. At this time, Lin Zhixing also dived into the water to save me, but it was useless...... Fortunately, Xu Wenlong's little ghost's domain broke the sky of this domain at this time, attracting that thing away, otherwise I would just be afraid of ......"
Jin Haiping patted him on the shoulder, and then continued to ask: "Can you tell us more about the appearance of that 'monster with a human body and a fishtail'?" ”
"It'...... It looks like a woman, with long hair, oh, a full woman's body, human legs and hands. When it floats on the water, it also stands on its feet, but ...... But her whole body was covered with large and small fish scales, and behind her buttocks, there was an extra fish tail...... No, no, half a fish's body, to be exact, like the lower body of a mermaid in a fairy tale book. Liu Changdong said, Lin Zhixing couldn't help but interject and added:
"The monster still has a pair of scarlet eyes, the sockets are thin and long, and there is even a red glow in the eyes, and I saw its glowing red eyes in the dark lake at that time!"
Jin Haiping nodded, with a thoughtful expression: "Presumably, the domain you are in is the domain of this thing, and the lake in the domain should be Qianhu Lake." And it'...... It's probably a lantern. ”
Yun Lan agreed with him, and looking at the expressions of the other people, they all seemed to agree with this statement.
"It's weird...... Zhang Caideng's appearance seems to be different from that of ordinary resentful ghosts......" Lin Zhixing muttered.
"Well, don't forget, Zhang Cailan was thrown into the lake before he died. Although I don't know whether he was killed first and then thrown into the river, or first thrown into the lake, he drowned. But Zhang Caideng's corpse was indeed in the lake, and after her death, the unjust spirit attached to the corpse, and the supernatural power caused its corpse to mutate, so it became this kind of person who is not a mermaid or a fish. Jin Haiping explained flatly.
Lin Zhixing suddenly showed a look of sudden realization.
At this time, Yun Lan felt in her arms, and Xiao Hei, who was originally quite stable, suddenly shrank and let out a frightened whimper. Her eyes narrowed as she looked at the wall clock on the wall. At this time, it was already two o'clock in the morning.
Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps from far and near outside the door, and the footsteps were very rhythmic, not hurried or slow. The dull sound of high heels stepping on the carpet stopped at the door of 307, and Xu Wenlong subconsciously shuddered.
"Knock, knock, knock" at the door, there was a familiar knock.
The originally relaxed atmosphere in the room suddenly dropped to freezing point at this moment. Jin Haiping's gentle smile gradually retracted, walked to the door of the room, and asked unhurriedly, "Is there something wrong?" ”
"Dear guests, tonight, our resort will be hosting a party on the first and second floors of the hotel. Do you and your friends need to participate? The familiar female voice came from outside, and the female voice sounded polite, but Jin Haiping looked stunned.
It knew that there was more than one person in the room.
"No, none of us. We need a break and hope don't bother us again tonight, thank you. Jin Haiping's tone was a little cold.
"This distinguished guest, tonight's party is for every guest to attend, are you and your friends sure you won't come?" Although the invitation was declined, the voice outside seemed to have anticipated this outcome, so she repeated it again unhurriedly.
"I repeat at the end, if we don't go, we will never go out of this door, please respect yourself, otherwise the consequences will ...... Not something you can afford. Jin Haiping's face was cold at this time, and his words carried a strong sense of warning.
The voices outside fell silent, and they didn't speak for a long time. Just when everyone thought she had given up, there was an unprecedented loud noise at the door.
"Bang-" sounded, and the huge impact seemed to knock the entire door off, and the furniture in the room shook violently. Jin Haiping subconsciously took two steps back, and the black-red carved pistol was already in his hand, and it was instantly raised and aimed in the direction of the door.
"Bang-" There was another crash, and the whole room seemed to shake with it. Yun Lan also stood up at this time, the shark knife was clenched in his hand, and he had already put on a vigilant posture. On the contrary, it was Xiao Hei, who buried his head under the bed, and was angry with the little boy who was scared and cried on the bed.
"Bang ——!" A third crash came, and this time, the door, which had previously been able to prevent the invasion of ghosts, was visibly cracked through the middle of the door. Jin Haiping's eyes narrowed, and he could vaguely see countless small eyeballs peeking in through the slit.
Jin Haiping's eyebrows furrowed, he no longer hesitated, and aimed at the gap in the door to shoot a bullet.
The bullet pierced through the crack in the door and pierced the eye socket of the thing outside, and the sound of popping came into the door, and the thing outside let out a terrible wail, but Jin Haiping didn't react at all, and fired another shot at the crack in the door.
The screams were even more piercing, and countless cold air squeezed into the room along the gap in the door, and the fourth impact followed, and then the screw steel plate that held the door in place finally could not support it, and the gate collapsed with this impact, smashing the tiles on the ground to crack.
At this time, the true face of the thing outside was completely exposed to everyone's eyes: it was a female ghost in a black and white uniform, very tall, thin and long, about 1.9 meters; The bruised skin was covered with black cracked lines of blood; The black lips were cracked into several petals like rabbit lips, revealing the huge fangs that were so large inside that they protruded from the outside of the mouth; The shape of the nose is also not visible on the face of the purple blue, and the place where the nose exists is only two elongated holes in the shape of an oval; And its exaggerated eye sockets are crowded with large and small, densely packed full eyeballs with black and red blood lines......
In the snow-white eyeballs, the black pupils converged into a small dot. At this moment, in the middle of the monster's right eye, several eyeballs exploded like bursting eggs, because of the bullet shot by Jin Haiping. A thick, viscous, milky white liquid with a putrid stench that overflowed like liquid squeezed out of a cyst.
