"Sure enough." I whispered, already guessing the mystery of this lantern.
The old cat frowned and asked: "Lin Yang, did you find anything?"
I nodded and said: "Look, if Xiaoqing, I, and the devil from the Xu family hold the lantern, the lantern will light up. However, if you hold the lantern, the lantern will not light up. What do we have?"
What’s the difference?”
The old cat was also very smart. After thinking about it, he immediately understood the difference and said: "Xiao Qing and the female ghosts of the Xu family are both powerful ghosts, but you have Xiao Feng in your body..."
"That's right." I nodded and said, "This is the difference between us. Although I can't guess the origin of this lantern yet, it is obviously exclusive to Li Gui. Only Li Gui can light this lantern, not a living person."
The old cat nodded: "This lantern is indeed a magical thing. It must be a very powerful magic weapon. Lin Yang, you can keep it for now. There were six ghosts behind the lantern ghost just now, and now two have come out.
, including the lantern ghost, there are only three of them... I don’t know where the other ghosts have gone.”
However, at this moment, a roar suddenly came from the corridor in the distance. It should be Jia Zhaojun's voice, and the sound continued continuously. It started with a loud shout, and then it was a continuous sound of pain:
"It hurts!" "Help me!" "It hurts!"
The roars continued one after another. Jia Zhaojun seemed to have suffered a terrible encounter, and the shouts continued. Although the sound became smaller and smaller, it was obviously still continuing...
My scalp instantly went numb and I said, "No! Lao Jia is in trouble!"
Old Mao frowned and asked: "Lin Yang, should we stay here and continue to guard the entrance, or should we go find Lao Jia?"
I looked at Old Cat, then at Xiao Qing, and said, "Obviously the ghosts behind the lantern ghost haven't come over yet. This entrance is still very important. Old Cat, Xiao Qing, why don't you two stay here?
Shall I go see Lao Jia?"
The old cat nodded and said: "That's all. My red rope is only suitable for defense. Even if I follow you, I won't be able to do much good. How about letting Xiaoqing go with you?"
I shook my head and said, "No, Old Cat, you have no attack power alone, so Xiaoqing must be left behind."
As I said that, I patted Xiao Qing on the shoulder and said, "Protect the old cat. I may have to fight alone. You must not die!"
Chen Xiaoqing smiled and said: "Don't worry, the old cat will be fine, and neither will I."
I felt relieved about the two of them, so I quickly picked up the lantern and turned out of the corridor. Before I could get far, the old cat suddenly shouted: "Lin Yang!"
I quickly turned around and saw the old cat staring at me with a sad face and said: "Never underestimate your own ability. If you can't beat him, just run away."
I nodded: "Don't worry, old cat, I have a sense of discretion."
After saying that, I immediately walked forward, because I was carrying a lantern, and the glowing lantern was very conspicuous in this dark corridor. In order to prevent myself from becoming too obvious a target, I quickly tried to put out the lantern.
.
It didn't work at first. Although I could freely control the size and direction of the flame, I could never completely extinguish the flame.
After trying three or four times, I finally found that as long as I tried to relax and use less force in the hand holding the lantern, the flame in the lantern would become smaller and smaller.
Thinking of this, I simply folded up the lantern and put it in my arms. As expected, the lantern was completely extinguished and the surroundings were once again plunged into boundless darkness.
The corridor on the third floor was very empty. I could no longer hear other people's voices. I didn't know where Xu Changge, Chen Xuance and the others had gone, and why there was no sound at all.
Vaguely, I seemed to hear Jia Zhaojun's voice coming from the other end. There seemed to be a stair entrance there, but I didn't know if there was anyone else there.
It stands to reason that Jia Zhaojun should be in a group with Yu Hualong. Yu Hualong possesses the special skills of talismans and is not a simple character. However, Jia Zhaojun was able to be ambushed silently. Is this because the opponent is too powerful? Or has Yu Hualong been lured?
opened?
Because we were fighting guerrilla warfare, the frontal battlefield had probably been moved to another floor. I walked forward slowly, fearing that a strange ghost would suddenly appear from any corner of any room.
My hand holding the Moon Chaser Sword was covered in cold sweat, but Jia Zhaojun’s humming sound was still faintly in the distance...
I knew that Jia Zhaojun's life must be hanging by a thread, and I was very anxious. But the more anxious I was, the less I could act rashly.
I know that the evil ghosts of the Xu family are very insidious, and they are very likely to ambush me somewhere.
Looking around, the empty corridor of the unfinished building is pitch black. Except for a few huge doorways on both sides of the corridor, there are dark empty rooms. The entire corridor has not been painted, and the walls are all rugged and filled with cement.
Original blank.
Occasionally there are red rope traps set by old cats on the ground. If I am not careful, even I almost tripped over the red rope several times.
I walked tiptoe, and it took me a few minutes to reach the end of the corridor in a blink of an eye. Because every time I passed an empty room, I had to be careful, for fear that someone would immediately enter the empty room in front of me.
A head or a grimace appeared...
But no, when I almost reached the end, there was no movement at all in these empty rooms, the corridor was also very quiet, and Jia Zhaojun, who had roared just now, had also disappeared...
I looked ahead and saw that after passing an empty room, we would reach the corridor. Jia Zhaojun must be in one of these two places... The closer we got to the end, the more nervous I became. I walked forward slowly, lying down in the empty room.
At the door, he slowly moved his head towards the door.
The empty room has no door, and there are no furnishings inside, so there is no one hiding there. As long as I can look over, I will have a clear view of what's going on in the room.
I stopped breathing and slowly stretched out my head. However, at this moment, a dark wind suddenly blew from the back of my neck!
I turned around suddenly and saw a dark shadow flickering in the corridor. The dark wind was blowing from the corridor!
But the room was empty, there was nothing, it was obviously an empty room.
Jia Zhaojun is not here, he is obviously in the corridor.
I hurriedly walked towards the corridor. As soon as I entered, I suddenly heard a familiar voice in the empty corridor.
Tick tock...tick tock...
It was the sound of water drops. This sound instantly reminded me of Wang Haoran, who was brutally killed by the blood sacrifice formation in the tunnel outside Baijiafen Station...
Is it Jia Zhaojun too?
I didn't dare to think about it anymore, and quickly raised my ears to listen to the source of the sound. At the same time, I also quickly pulled the lantern out of my arms. Although the Moon Chaser Sword was obviously more comfortable in close combat, the lantern was a
Divine weapon.
After listening for a while, I vaguely recognized that the sound was coming from the upper stairs. I quickly climbed up the stairs, walking very slowly step by step.
"Tick tock...tick tock..."
The sound did not stop, but at the same time, I vaguely smelled the smell of blood, the smell of blood rushing towards my face.
Before I had time to guess, I had already discovered the source of the water droplets. I saw water droplets dripping down from above on the stairs in front of me, one drop after another, which was almost exactly the same as the situation in Haoran at that time.
My heart suddenly became cold. I knew that Jia Zhaojun was probably in danger.
Thinking of this, I looked up and looked around. There was no sign of the ghost, and it seemed relatively safe. I quickly walked over, squatted down and smelled it. The dripping liquid was obviously blood, fresh blood, and it belonged to Jia Zhaojun.
blood.
"Jia Zhaojun?" Although I knew it was hopeless, I still wanted to ask.
In addition to the sound of water drops in the corridor, I asked Jia Zhaojun in a low voice, but I didn't get a response.
However, at this moment, I suddenly heard a strange sound from above, and then suddenly my vision went dark. A huge thing fell from the sky and fell heavily in front of me!
I was startled, subconsciously took a step back, and almost fell down the stairs.
When I calmed down, I gasped again!
Because I have clearly seen what the object in front of me is...
That was Jia Zhaojun's body. His clothes had been stripped off. What was even more difficult for me to accept was that...except for one of his heads, he was still intact. All the flesh on his body had been eaten away, leaving only a pair of scarlet white bones...
