"Bang!"

There was a sound of something exploding beside him, Jiang Ning turned his head in astonishment, and the glass shell of the kerosene lamp, which had been taken out by himself to prepare for a while, exploded at that moment.

Jiang Ning stepped forward to check, and the glass shell exploded as if it had been hit by a strong impact from something.

But there's nothing or anyone around you at all?

Not even living things......

Is there really some ghost or something like that in this world?

If you put things like ghosts and spirits into reality, those sudden blood stains, and the glass cover that just exploded, it seems that you can get some reasonable explanations, but ....... It always feels like something is missing.

Jiang Ning put aside the explosion of the glass cover, he took out a kerosene lamp from the box of matches and lit it, and the flames without the glass cover became a little weak, as if the flames would be extinguished as soon as the wind blew the grass.

Looking at the pistol he had just picked up on the shelf by the dim light, there were still seven or eight bullets in the magazine, although it was not known who had put this bullet in, but it was most irrational to consider such an inconsequential question in this world at the moment.

What's the time now?

How long is it until twelve?

Jiang Ning felt that he had spent a lot of time in the utility room, and he didn't know how she was doing with Enoshima.

Thinking like this, Jiang Ning felt more and more the urgency of time, he glanced at the wooden box in the corner of the utility room, and thought in his heart that after opening the box and seeing what was inside, he would immediately go to find Enoshima.

The box was placed in the corner, with a thick layer of dust on the outside like a shelf, and it looked like no one had cleaned it in a long time.

Jiang Ning found that the closer he got to the wooden box, the more he could smell the disgusting strong smell of blood, his heart was so nervous that it pounded violently, and after a dull deep breath, Jiang Ning stretched out his hand.

The box was about half a meter long and wide, and when opened, it was revealed that there were ropes made of white cloth strips, white paint, stones with red dots painted on them, and some jars, and the remaining space of the box was abundant.

After seeing all this, Jiang Ning was a little curious, what was this thing used for, and some inexplicable disappointment emerged-

I thought there must be some bloody stuff hidden in this box......

At the same time, he wondered where the strong smell of blood came from, if he had seen the corners and corners of the utility room, then where was the source?

Just as he was about to get up to leave, Jiang Ning saw a strange mark on the side of the inside of the wooden lid of the wooden box, making it stand out in a thick layer of dust, and it looked like a handprint.

Could it be their own?

After confirming the fact that there was not such a thick layer of dust on his hands, Jiang Ning felt a chill on his back.

The utility room should be a place full of clutter, and this box in the corner, if I guess correctly, should be used to put some miscellaneous things that look like garbage, and the decoration of this hotel is not so new, it can be inferred that this hotel has been built here for a long time.

In this case, if the wooden box is regarded as a garbage can for throwing garbage, it should have been full for so long, but now it seems that the space is completely rich.

- It felt like someone had taken most of it.

Jiang Ning stretched out his hand and took out the ropes, as well as the stones and the empty jars, and looked at them one by one, and found that there was nothing unusual, he scratched the back of his head, at a loss.

At this moment, the sound of thunder bursting was heard again above the dome, and the power facilities of the hotel were cut off by lightning, and darkness filled the entire hotel.

But unlike before, Jiangning has a kerosene lamp this time as a tool for illumination.

Although the amount of kerosene in the kerosene lamp is not much, it should be enough to support the arrival of the black-robed man.

I remembered that I was led to the second floor by those bloody handprints before, and I and Enoshima were about to block the door at that time, is it because of this reason that there was a series of unsolved events?

Is the black-robed man afraid of blocking the door?

Or is it that the black-robed man doesn't want the door of the hotel to be blocked?

If it's blocked, he won't be able to get in?

These speculations can only stay at the level of speculation, just when he confronted the black-robed man before, his own attack was superficial to him, how could he be afraid that the door would be blocked?

Jiang Ning picked up the black pistol and loaded it, the pistol was even heavier than he imagined.

He didn't go out to look for Enoshima immediately, after all, they were on different floors, and if they rushed out, it was likely to create opportunities for the black-robed people, and under the premise of having time to reincarnate, it was the most important thing to protect yourself first.

Soon he heard heavy footsteps from the stairs outside, which hit Jiang Ning's heart like a death knell, and he felt his hand holding the pistol tremble a little, but he still aimed it at the door of the utility room.

The footsteps stopped, and a dark shadow flashed, pulling the trigger.

"Bang!"

The bullet shot out of the barrel with sparks and scorching heat, hitting the black-robed man.

The figure of the black-robed man froze for a moment, and continued to take steps, as if he had not been shot at all, and his walking posture was so natural.

"Bang bang!"

Looking at the figure of the black-robed man getting closer and closer, Jiang Ning pulled the trigger continuously, and some strong recoil made his hand almost dislocate, but the black shadow in front of him still walked over as if nothing happened.

The bullets in the pistol had been completely emptied by himself, and as expected, these bullets had no effect on the black-robed man at all.

The sound of heavy footsteps was getting closer and closer, and Jiang Ning took the next step back, picking up the things he could pick up on the shelf before and throwing them at the black-robed man, and finally even threw the kerosene lamp over.

The faint flame of the kerosene lamp ignited the black robe, but the footsteps of the creature in front of him still did not stop until standing in front of Jiang Ning, the distance that one hand could touch.

At this time, the black robe of the black-robed man had been burned to ashes, and the last bit of fire shone on the faces of Jiang Ning and the black-robed man, and Jiang Ning's expression changed from natural fear to consternation.

There was no pain, no sight, only the muffled sound in his ears, Jiang Ning opened his eyes sluggishly, his face was full of fear and disbelief.

He is afraid that he will never forget that face, and if nothing else, the owner of that face will always appear for life, for him.

Turning his head to look at the window, the face printed on the glass was what Jiang Ning had just seen through the faint light of the fire.

That's—

Himself.
