Chapter Ninety-Eight: Please Close Your Eyes When It's Dark (5)
Twelve was obviously hesitating, but in the end, he nodded slowly, and agreed to Yun Lan's request.
When Yun Lan saw him like this, she knew that the fish had bitten the hook, so she continued, "The best way I can imagine to cooperate with you is this: I am secretly allied with you, but on the surface, I will take your place as a soothsayer and speak for you. You know, the priest can only save you once, but if I take your place, then you will have more than two lives.
I will give you the golden water and make you a good person that I certify, so that even if I am unfortunately killed, you will have a certain say, and then use your priesthood to lead the story."
"You know, my power and judgment are absolutely above yours. Maybe I'll be able to survive under the ghost's hands, but you, it's hard."
"So...... Think about it, after all, everyone lives together if you win, and everyone dies together if you lose...... You don't want to die on this mission, do you?"
A set of seductive words bombarded, and the bluffing No. 12 was stunned. He pondered earnestly, and then nodded slowly. Although he was very unwilling, he also knew that Yun Lan in front of him was much stronger than him. He couldn't even beat one of her dogs, let alone fight the ghosts.
「…… Okay, let's do it." He reluctantly spoke.
Yun Lan nodded, and a satisfied smile immediately appeared on her face: "Then, you go, remember to be careful tonight, and then ...... It's a pleasure to work with." After Yun Lan said this, she got up directly and went out with Xiao Hei. This soothsayer was a bit stupid, Yun Lan thought, if she had such a vital identity and ability, she would definitely not hand over the dominant position so easily, let alone be gullible.
The soothsayer is arguably the most important character in this type of game, and once he gains his trust, it will be beneficial to him regardless of whether he is classified as a ghost or a human.
Her heart is not willing to kill, but if it really comes to the point where she has to sacrifice others in exchange for her own survival, she can only take action. Her life is not only her own at this moment, but also the lives of Xiao Hei and Xiao Green on top of this ruthless health value.
She must take Xiao Hei and Xiao Lu to live until everything ends.
Her eyes became more determined, and Yun Lan touched Xiao Lu's head in her arms, and the soft touch was very comfortable. The sky had begun to turn from light to dark, and the afternoon was passing rapidly, and Yun Lan finally pushed open the door of a two-story house that was not so dilapidated.
The furnishings inside are a little richer, but the house covers a small area, and it seems that the living furniture such as beds and wardrobes are on the second floor.
Yun Lan paused at the door and looked up at the skylight on the second floor. It's not tall, but now there is no rope and it is difficult for her to climb up. It's a pity, I should have seen if there was a ladder in the bounty shop to sell it.
Thinking regretfully, Yun Lan finally entered the room through the main entrance. After looking around, Yun Lan found a big broom. Trying to rub the broom lightly on the ground to kick up a cloud of dust, the footprints she left behind when she came were quickly covered up.
"Xiao Hei, take Xiao Lu to the second floor and wait." Yun Lan said, pointing to the stairs leading to the second floor, and then handed Xiao Lu to Xiao Hei. Xiao Hei gently held it in his mouth, and it didn't struggle, allowing Xiao Hei to take it up to the second floor one by one.
Yun Lan closed the door, and used a broom to gently cover up the traces of her arrival as she retreated. Then, little by little, I went up to the second floor.
Okay, Yun Lan held the broom in her hand and glanced at the ground downstairs where there were almost no flaws. The skylight on the second floor has a thin curtain, and a touch of sunset shines in the orange shimmer from the window. It was almost dark, and Yun Lan didn't choose to close the curtains, because doing so would be tantamount to three hundred taels of silver here.
Upstairs there is a large wooden bed with a bedside table next to it, a skylight on the side, and a wardrobe directly opposite the wooden bed. The wardrobe is a very classic Western-style long wardrobe, Yun Lan thought for a moment, and then opened the cabinet door.
There are even a few worn-out clothes in the cabinet, and it seems that you can really feel the breath of human life, but unfortunately, this is only a world of bounty tasks. Yun Lan put aside the old clothes and hid in with Xiao Hei and Xiao Lu. The wardrobe is a popular hiding spot, and the small and enclosed space really makes people feel safe and reliable. Whether it's a horror or an ethical drama, there is always a plot where someone hides in the closet.
Yun Lan curled up and squatted with Xiao Hei, at the moment when the cabinet door was completely closed, the smell of the old wardrobe was mixed with oxygen, Yun Lan just took a breath of such an unpleasant smell, and heard a system prompt sound in her head: [Ding, please close your eyes when it's dark, ghosts, please open your eyes].
It's dark.
The eyelids closed irrepressibly again, the body could no longer move, time passed in the dark, and in the quiet environment, Yun Lan could not hear any sound, only felt her beating heart.
I don't know why, but it jumped, and then, faster and faster, more and more violently.
Is it because something is near? Yun Lan's instinct was telling her that something must be approaching, a ghost approaching.
Yun Lan couldn't hear any sound, except that she could vaguely discern that she was still in the closet from the smell she breathed in, she really had the illusion that she had been discovered by a ghost.
Outside the wardrobe that Yun Lan couldn't see, at this moment, a black humanoid figure was wandering around the room. The shadow was stretched long, stretching from the feet of the people outside the room into the room.
The shadow clung to the ground, groping inch by inch on the first floor. After making sure that there was indeed nothing, it slowly made its way up to the second floor.
The second floor was just as empty, and the shadows moved on the ground as usual. The owner of the shadow was sure that there was someone here, for he saw that the woman with the dog had finally arrived in this area, and in this area, only this building seemed to be the best place to hide.
Finally, the shadow stopped in front of a closet.
This wardrobe seems to be completely large enough for the woman and the dog to hide, but unfortunately he is now in ghost form and cannot actively touch objects. Do you want to go up and open the cabinet door? The owner of the shadow hesitated, to be honest, he only happened to see the figure turn to the area in the evening, but he didn't mean that he had to trouble this woman.
This woman has no hole cards for the time being, just her dog, which is a German Shepherd, but a large dog breed as a military dog. Although I don't know what kind of abilities that dog can have, I feel that the initial value and level are definitely not low.
A little jealous glanced into the crack in the cabinet, and what caught his eye was a shabby dress. I changed into another gap and saw another piece of clothing.
It seems to be just an ordinary wardrobe with clothes...... The shadow looked a little disappointed, then slowly retreated downstairs until it reached the feet of the person outside the door, and turned back into a normal shadow.
There is only a little time in the evening, so much is wasted here, and you have to hurry to find a new target. The man thought, leaving a stone at the door, and then quickened his pace and walked into the distance.
The beating of the heart is gradually subsiding, is that thing gone? Yun Lan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, just now for a moment, she felt goosebumps subconsciously spread all over her body. Cold sweat unconsciously broke out from the top of her head, and her heart was beating faster than ever, Yun Lan felt that if this state persisted for a while, she might really die suddenly.
Maybe at that moment, the ghost was only a door away from her. But I don't know why, the other party gave up the plan to open the cabinet door, but retreated directly.
Is it because something happened outside? Yun Lan speculated, if anything, really happened, such as ...... If anyone is found by a ghost, who will it be?
Yun Lan thought as she silently counted the seconds in her mind to estimate the approximate time, it had been seven or eight minutes since the ghost left just now, and just as she was guessing the total length of the night with this feeling, a prompt suddenly sounded in her head.
[Ding, it's dawn, the first died last night.] ]
As soon as the restraints on her body were suddenly loosened, Yun Lan's brows immediately furrowed, and she really died last night.
Walking out of the cabinet, the morning glimmer immediately filtered in through the skylight. Yun Lan picked up Xiao Lu and walked downstairs with Xiao Hei, and as soon as she opened the door, she saw a stone at the door at the moment.
Her eyes narrowed slightly, stones, there were no stones when she came in. It seems that this stone is a way for these ghosts to step on the spot in order to improve the efficiency of the search. A stone was placed where it had been, and the other ghosts who passed by knew that it had been found.
A sneer crossed the corners of her mouth, Yun Lan pointed to the stones on the ground, and said to Xiao Hei, "Xiao Hei, can you smell the smell on it? You take me to that man."
Xiao Hei stepped forward and sniffed seriously, and after a while, he let out a "Wang" sound, and then immediately walked forward, sniffing the ground as he went.
Sure enough, the smile on the corner of Yun Lan's mouth widened. Xiao Hei's sense of smell she trusted, although it was not professionally trained, but less than ten minutes had passed, and the smell had not yet dissipated, and she was confident that she could find the owner of this stone.
She wanted to see who the "kind" ghost was.
As Xiao Hei walked forward a little bit, a few people finally appeared on the road ahead, and at this moment, these people were surrounding the door of a room.
Yun Lan walked in and recognized them, respectively, No. 6, and No. 11.
Xiao Hei was only a dozen meters away from them at the moment, and the more confident it became, the more confident Yun Lan's heart became. Stopping Xiao Hei, who was still sniffing and advancing, Yun Lan walked towards the crowd with unhurried steps.
"What did you find?" Walking to the approaching place, Yun Lan asked. Eleven glanced at her, turned sideways, and revealed the tragic situation in the room:
At this moment, in the humble room, a large amount of blood spilled under the bed. The blood had not completely dried up at this moment, seeping into the wooden planks on the ground, staining it into a blood-red patch, and the fishy stench was spreading wantonly.
In the blood, a human head rolled out of thin air from under the bed. Round eyes, frightened eyes, and the bare jagged blood vessels, nerves, and bones at the junction of the neck.
This terrifying scene made Seven, who had just arrived, gasp and cover his mouth suddenly.
