Bang!

A bolt of lightning struck, and the earth was illuminated pale, dragging a long, deep shadow behind the castle that stood on the endless wasteland.

Then, in the dull thunder, the world fell into darkness, darkness without a single light, a darkness that was so deep that it was suffocating.

Crackling......!

The burnt black wick soaked in blood slowly released a shimmering light.

Zhang Yao was half-leaning against the wall, his eyes narrowing slightly to fully open, and he quickly adapted to the sudden alternation of day and night.

At this time, his spirit immediately tensed, and he carefully stared at whether there was another shadow in the area illuminated by the oil lamp.

According to his previous experience.

It was dark.

A layer of wandering ghosts,

and those unspeakable horrors should be revived.

Thankfully, his profession gives him basic night vision so that he doesn't feel helpless in the dark.

"Let's explore the second floor first...... Well, I didn't think it was because I was afraid, it was just that there was no curse and no confidence...... Even if the guests in room 5 leave, there is no guarantee that there is no danger...

In case the fifth tenant suddenly returns......

Right! Gagged!

Brother Leg has already figured out its killing rules, and it's not a big problem!

The only danger is the possibility of bumping into the old sister again...... It's definitely too late to run to Brother Pig, and I don't have a second ankh......

Then open a door for tenants and let them fight each other!

Just pick the number one!

Save it from knocking on my door every night and making me sleep! ”

Zhang Yao consciously thought of a safe plan.

He immediately took out the strip of cloth, stuffed his mouth, and wrapped it tightly around the back of his head.

…… It also prevents him from talking out of his head!

It was just perfect!

Call!

Zhang Yao raised his foot and stepped lightly, and a thick black mist suddenly poured out from the cracks in the armor on his body, quickly spreading to all sides.

A pair of scarlet eyes loomed in the black mist, accompanied by a low, chaotic whisper, as if it could make people fall into madness.

Dark touch.

This skill can help Zhang Yao explore the hidden things in the range and perceive those things that are invisible to the eye.

Has a strong restraining effect on units with stealth.

Moreover, the dark energy itself is extremely polluting to conventional creatures, and it can also exert great power when dealing with such enemies.

The Dark Knight.

It's a profession that manipulates the forces of darkness.

However, for Zhang Yao, the greatest help in releasing the dark touch is that it allows him to grasp the situation around him.

Perceive and avoid those areas of weird existence in advance.

Thanks to this skill, he was able to return safely after exploring many uncharted areas within the castle.

Except for ghosts and portraits of women, which have been eyeing him.

Black fog fills the air.

The surrounding pictures gradually sketched out in Zhang Yao's mind.

"The ghost isn't there?"

Zhang Yao looked around strangely.

In the past, the moment the night fell, that ghost would have appeared beside him without warning.

"It seems that a lot of unknown things did happen last night."

He couldn't help but think.

At the same time, the fear of the old sister has also been reduced, and it is speculated that she may have really been solved by Brother Pig......

Wow.

He walked quickly through the building to the second floor of the castle.

When he was close to the staircase, he slowed down and listened quietly for a while.

"The tenants on the second floor are usually quiet, only tenant number one comes out at night, but more often around 12 o'clock......

It should be safe now.

No.

I guess I'd better go around the other side.

Since it can act at night, it doesn't have to wait until after twelve o'clock, and I can't fall into the stereotyped misconception......"

Zhang Yao felt that after communicating with Brother Leg, he became smarter.

I'm so witty!

On the second floor is a connected outer enclosed circular corridor in a square shape, rarely seen in castle-style architecture.

It's more like a layout similar to a modern apartment building.

Zhang Yao left the staircase and walked to the left.

The front corner is drowned in the darkness of the night.

Silence.

Through night vision.

Zhang Yao could clearly see the withered potted plant standing in the corner of the wall, twisted like a shriveled human hand.

The delicate paintings on the flower pots, the draped dark purple curtains, and the mottled oil paintings on the walls that seem to be rendered with random paint.

But at the moment, they all take on an eerily distinct black and white in the dark.

Heavy and depressing.

The fog beneath his feet continued to spread, but his abilities were greatly suppressed on the second floor.

The dark tactile sensation that could control the coverage of nearly thirty meters was compressed, and it could only spread three meters forward.

This was a far cry from when he was exploring the first floor of the castle.

Three meters.

It was no longer a distance that would provide him with safe contact.

Once you encounter the weird, there is little buffer room.

In other words.

This skill is limited in what it can do to him on the second floor.

Zhang Yao took a deep breath and held the meat chopping knife.

Suddenly.

Countless densely intertwined black lines emerged in his field of vision.

But he soon discovered that this method did not work.

There are too many black lines.

It's just everywhere.

Even the tiles under his feet were entwined with several black lines, which could not serve as a guide for him......

Well?

Weird.

Zhang Yao glanced strangely at the black lines wound around the wall tiles.

Some are incomprehensible.

He originally thought that the lines that he could see after picking up the meat chopping knife were referring to each individual strange existence.

Don't.

All objects that are disturbed by weirdness will affect the judgment of the meat chopper?

He didn't dwell too much on it, it wasn't particularly important to him.

Walking forward with heavy steps, Zhang Yao stared at the deep darkness around the corner, his heart twitched inexplicably, and an uneasy aura lingered in his chest, as if he was walking towards the abyss step by step.

"Hoo ......"

Zhang Yao's breathing unconsciously became difficult and heavy.

A terrible thought came to mind.

"Not true.

If I were to take a detour from the other side, the first thing I would pass through would be the most terrible room nine!

The only locked room on the second floor......"

Suddenly.

He stopped.

The instinct of danger drove him to no longer move forward.

The feeling was not as strong as it had been when facing the sunflowers in the flower beds.

But it's also because he hasn't faced that terrifying room yet.

"How could I have such a dead thought......

Zhang Yao immediately turned around, he had no idea of being reckless, he knew that all pretending to be reckless in the face of weirdness was a fancy death.

Though.

That's basically what he learned from himself......

Turn around and walk to the other side.

Passing by the room without a door number, Zhang Yao glanced at it, although after there were no candles, this safe house had already existed in name only.

The Spooky can invade at any time.

But this room was also the only place where he could rest.

Then.

Zhang Yao walked slowly through room No. 1.

After the glow of the oil lamp shone through the scarlet door, he seemed to hear a small noise coming from inside the room.

As if whispering.

Fortunately.

In the end, the door did not open directly.

His hanging heart suddenly fell, and he continued to walk forward.

Room 2,

Room 3......

Both crimson doors were slammed shut.

Zhang Yao was about to pass through and walked into the next corner, when suddenly, his gaze fell on the floor at the door of room three.

He hadn't noticed.

But the dark sense of touch will give him all traces of it clearly.

Immediately.

Zhang Yao found the mark that had just been left short.

"Room 3 has been opened?!"

"When!?"

His breathing was uncontrollably rapid.

For him.

Every tenant on the second floor is an extremely terrifying and strange existence.

And this has also been confirmed by Cheng Shen, the little girl's horror level is definitely far above the cheongsam woman!

Fear.

Among the existences he has seen, only Brother Pig can compare to him.

The most important thing is that Zhang Yao has been jumping up and down in the castle now.

But this is because he clearly knows that the first floor he explores, whether it is Brother Pig, or the terrifying existence of the cemetery behind the castle, or the weird bell tower, there is a fixed range of activities that cannot be left!

But that's not the case with the tenants on the second floor!

As soon as the little girl left, she appeared directly in front of Cheng Shen, who was 108,000 miles away.

This is enough to show that the range of activities of the tenants on the second floor is not limited!

An unrestricted ghost can drive him around, and an unrestricted cheongsam woman even forced him to die.

If there is another second-floor tenant......

Zhang Yao's heart trembled.

Have to.

As soon as possible.

Boost yourself against weird tricks!

Zhang Yao was firm in his belief and walked to the next corner, and the picture in front of him was quickly clear, the same corridor, the same window, the same meaningless chaotic oil painting, and three doors that seemed to be carved out of a mold.

The only difference is.

Number Four,

Number Five,

Number Six,

The blood of the three doors was darker and darker, tending to be a dull red, especially as everything around them was eeriely black and white.

Extremely scarlet and glaring.

Thereinto.

The door of room No. 5 was half-opened, and the door was filled with a depth and darkness that seemed to be able to devour souls, blocking Zhang Yao's vision.

"What's in room five?"

"Am I too dead...... I haven't even explored much of the area on the first floor, so I want to get in touch with the secrets of the second floor in advance......"

"But what Brother Leg said is also right, if you don't take the risk while it leaves, you won't have a chance when it comes back......"

Zhang Yao's thoughts were mixed.

Unconsciously.

His footsteps had stopped in front of the door of Room Five.

The light emitted by the oil lamp shook violently at this moment, as if it was blown by the wind, flickering in and out, but Zhang Yao didn't notice the slightest air current.

But as the state of the flame became unstable, a cold aura gradually diffused from the oil lamp.

"It's going to get out of control?!"

Zhang Yao was shocked.

What's in room five?

Just getting close enough to revive the weirdness in the oil lamp in advance?

Think for a moment.

Zhang Yao decisively stuffed the oil lamp into his backpack and isolated it.

The purpose of the oil lamp was originally to block the strange erosion and protect his safety, but in this case, holding it will only speed up the recovery of the weirdness in it, but it will be more dangerous.

But.

In this way, all he can rely on is a meat chopper.

Zhang Yao's eyes flickered, and after a short psychological struggle, he finally suppressed his timid thoughts.

The more dangerous.

This means that you may be able to get more lucrative returns.

This is not his imagination, nor is it the wrong thinking that Cheng Shen instilled in him, but the rules that this castle has always shown him.

Every place where there may be danger.

They all have items that can help him become stronger.

For example, oil lamps.

The underling's room was the area where the ghosts were most active.

If he hadn't followed Cheng Shen's advice, Zhang Yao would have had the courage to go in and explore, and he might have burped at the ghost level.

There are no oil lamps.

It was even less likely that he would have gotten the blank portrait.

It's like a ring after a ring.

Zhang Yao instinctively felt as if he had grasped an important hint, but when he thought about it, his experience was full of uncertainties that arose because of his death, so he couldn't determine...

After retracting the oil lamp.

Zhang Yao took out the portrait that had been blank again.

But this time he had experience, and even though an inexplicable impulse always appeared in his heart, he did not look down at the portrait.

He faces the front of the portrait towards the door.

This is his judgment.

Since this portrait can suck him in, and it can also imprison such a terrifying weirdness as the old sister, it should also be effective against other weirdness.

If it doesn't work.

He also has Brother Pig's meat chopper.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yao turned his heart sideways and strode towards the door.

"Die or die!"

His mindless recklessness came to him.

This moment.

What thinking, what wisdom, all he left behind!

Call!

The moment he stepped into the darkness, Zhang Yao seemed to have fallen into some incomparably viscous substance, his mouth and nose seemed to be muddled, and a sense of panic suddenly rose in his heart that he couldn't breathe.

And at this moment, there was a burst of cold touch all around, as if there were countless cold arms pulling his body!

"Get out of here!!"

Zhang Yao shouted in his heart.

Without hesitation, he swung the meat chopping knife in his hand and slashed forward.

He didn't know who the target was.

I don't know what I want to cut.

I just instinctively felt that I had to cut this knife!

Rumble!

An indescribable force erupted abruptly from the chopper.

In an instant, the darkness dissipated, everything turned into nothingness, and Zhang Yao only saw a distorted black line appear in front of his eyes.

And the next moment.

This black line was directly cut off by a meat chopping knife!

Syllable!

There was a soft thud.

Zhang Yao looked up with a feeling, and saw that the red line above his head, which might symbolize his vitality, was strangely split from it.

The already hair-like lifeline became even more fragile and illusory.

Zhang Yao's face turned pale, he didn't suffer any substantial damage, but he clearly felt that he had lost something very important.

The black fog dissipated in an instant.

A very ordinary hotel room was presented to him.

Zhang Yao realized that he thought he had walked a long way, but in fact he had just stepped into the room.

Half of his body was still outside the door.

And just on the side, facing the door, is a classical-style mahogany wardrobe.

The door was open, and a double-breasted solid black coat hung alone.

There was a crack in his coat that almost tore it apart.

But visible to the naked eye, this crack creeped strangely, slowly healing as if it were alive.
