Despair refers to the pessimism when a person cannot accomplish something no matter what. It refers to the decadent mentality that no matter how hard one tries, there is no result. It also refers to the unwillingness and fear when facing something that cannot be resisted.
Despair is like a wall, a wall that is in the dark and cannot be climbed. Many times, despair can make people go crazy, cry, grieve, and even lead to destruction. However, there are also a few people who are unwilling to give in and try to grope in the darkness, groping for the near
There are no wall openings.

Touch! Boom! Snap!
In a room on the first floor of Halton Manor, the impact was loud and cold, and cold sweat spread all over the body. Zhao Ping and Peng Hu, who were trapped in the room, were holding stools and banging on the door like crazy. They were exhausted.
They tried their best, but unfortunately the door of the room had been sealed by the blood locust. No matter how hard they tried, it was to no avail. What made them even more desperate was...
The door cannot be opened, and the blood worm behind him is about to recover from the coagulated state.
Zhao Ping's supernatural camera can only take three pictures. In order to delay the attack, he has used up all three uses. So when he saw that the third photo in his hand was about to disappear, Zhao Ping knew...he was finished!
The bespectacled man believed that he was not going to die soon, while Peng Hu on the side was holding on to the idea of living a little longer, so it was natural that after 5 minutes, the first golden light talisman on his forehead just turned into powder, and he could not continue.
Smashing the door, the bald man in panic once again took out his second and last golden talisman from his arms.
After taking out the last golden talisman, Peng Hu didn't notice... Zhao Ping's eyes changed the moment he saw the golden talisman, and his eyes were full of coldness!
(While the opponent is not paying attention, grab the Golden Light Talisman and use it for yourself. Anyway, this one-time consumable prop has no binding restrictions. It will be effective on whomever it is attached to!)
Yes, this is the only thought in Zhao Ping's mind at this moment. How can he care about anything else at the moment of life and death? Only living is the final winner.
If a person does not serve himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth.
Just do what you think of. For Zhao Ping, who always puts his personal life first, he has never been the kind of indecisive person. As long as he can survive, he can do anything without any psychological burden. Therefore, when the Golden Light Talisman was killed by Peng Hu
When he took it out, in addition to his cold eyes, Zhao Ping also stretched out his right hand and quickly grabbed the golden light talisman!
but……
Just when his right hand was already halfway outstretched, and just when he was about to take away the charm, Zhao Ping stopped, and his half-stretched hand stopped moving for no apparent reason.
Yes, it’s not that his conscience found him unwilling to rob any more or that Peng Hu was the first to use it, but...
Staring at the golden talisman in front of him, just a second ago, a promising but uncertain escape method suddenly appeared in Zhao Ping's mind!
This is also the key reason why he gave up on seizing the talisman. In fact, it is easy to understand. Even if he successfully seizes the golden talisman for his own use, what will happen? He can only live for a few more minutes at most. As long as he is still trapped in the room, his final fate will be
The ending is still death. Since the ending will not change, it is better to use this golden light talisman to make a last ditch effort.
(Hopefully this approach works.)
Sure enough, just when Peng Hu, who was full of fear, was about to put the last golden talisman on his forehead, Zhao Ping suddenly yelled at him: "Stop!!!"
The roar came suddenly and unexpectedly, and the sound was extremely loud. It actually scared Peng Hu on the spot. He turned around and glanced at the Xue Hao who was about to recover behind him. In confusion, he turned to Zhao Ping and asked: "
What do you want to do?"
"Do you want to survive for a few more minutes and be killed by the hawk, or do you want to leave here completely!?"
Peng Hu didn't expect that the guy wearing glasses next to him would say such a thing. Although he couldn't understand it for a moment, after hearing Zhao Ping's words clearly, he paused for a moment, and the bald man still replied without hesitation: "Are you him?
Isn’t this nonsense? Of course I want to leave here!”
"Okay, since you want to leave, don't use your last talisman on yourself."
As soon as Zhao Ping said this, Peng Hu's expression turned ferocious the next moment, and he said viciously: "Fuck you! You are so vicious. If I don't use it for myself, why should I use it for you?"
It was obvious that the bald man misunderstood Zhao Ping's meaning, but in such a race against time, which could even be said to be a race against death, how could Zhao Ping have time to explain in detail to the other party? He ignored the bald man and cursed, and instead stretched out his hand and pointed.
He walked towards the door in front of him and said anxiously to Peng Hu: "Hurry up and put your talisman on the door and see if you can break the ban!"
Peng Hu couldn't help being stunned after hearing this.
"Hurry! That's about to resume action!!!"
Finally, under Zhao Ping's almost crazy roar, Peng Hu suddenly came back to his senses. Even so, the bald man still couldn't help but have doubts in his mind, that is...
Can the Golden Light Talisman still be used like this?
However, doubts are doubts, and suspicions are suspicions. After thinking that the Golden Light Talisman will spontaneously ignite only when it has an effect, and after thinking about the key point that it doesn't matter even if it fails, Peng Hu immediately agreed with the other party's suggestion, not to mention that he is a dare to fight.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Ping finished speaking, Peng Hu took action. He stretched out his right hand and slapped the golden light talisman on the door of the room without hesitation.
Next, an incredible scene happened:
Wow!
As soon as the golden light talisman touched the door, in an instant, the talisman emitted a large amount of golden light and immediately burst into flames!
The golden light talisman is burning, doesn't that mean... it's effective!
Not only that, just as the golden light talisman attached to the door burst out with dazzling golden light, the third photo in Zhao Ping's hand also completely disappeared, and at the same time, the blood worm behind him also regained his ability to move at this moment!
"ah!"
It can be said that the spontaneous combustion of the golden light talisman and the recovery of the blood locust happened almost at the same second. Seeing the talisman taking effect, seeing the blood locust recovering, they let out a cry of terror. Peng Hu moved, Zhao Ping moved, and the two of them locked feet.
They both hit the door with all their strength.
Bang!
Accompanied by a loud crash, this time the door was knocked open! Peng Hu and Zhao Ping both rushed to the door and jumped into the corridor, followed closely by the blood worm!
Everything happened in a short moment. The two of them barely managed to open the door and ran out of the room before being touched by the blood worm.
"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!"
Da da da da da!
There was no need for anyone to urge or remind them. Mixed with screaming and fear, as soon as they ran out of the room, Zhao Ping and Peng Hu, knowing full well that there were blood bugs behind them, could not be said to have tried their best. At this moment, the two of them took action.
Running wildly, like two madmen, they rolled and crawled along the corridor and ran forward, all in extreme embarrassment. Just like the above
Even though all of this may seem rather counterintuitive, in fact, from Peng Hu taking out the Golden Light Talisman to accepting Zhao Ping's suggestion and sticking it on the door, to breaking open the door and running away, the whole process happened within half a minute, and
During the escape, neither Peng Hu nor Zhao Ping dared to look back, they just gritted their teeth and ran wildly.
It is worth mentioning that while running, when he reached the exit of the corridor and entered the living room, Zhao Ping, who had finally escaped from the room, instinctively turned to the door of the building. This was natural. He was lucky enough to survive and now he no longer had the courage to stay.
Inside the building, it is only right to escape from the building as soon as possible. Who would have thought...
Just as he was about to turn around and run towards the door, a big hand suddenly stretched out from beside him and grabbed the man's arm. Then, whether he wanted to or not, the man with glasses could only force the strong arm.
He was forced to change direction, and he and the owner of the arm both ran to the right, towards the stairs leading to the second floor.
The owner of the arm is none other than Peng Hu.
(What a dog said! Does he want to run away again? It’s a dream!)
At this moment, Peng Hu dragged the man with glasses and ran towards the second floor. During the run, he yelled at the top of his lungs:
"Quick! Quick! Everyone get out of this building! You can't stay in this house, this house!!!"
………
Time returns to 5 minutes ago, time, 18:05 in the evening.
Halton Manor is indeed a very beautiful manor. As the residence of a Marquis, the interior is not only full of artistic architecture but also planted with a large number of ornamental flowers and plants. Normally, whenever evening comes and the sun sets in the west, it is illuminated by the afterglow of the setting sun.
The manor is often covered by a layer of golden light, which is a kind of beautiful scenery. This kind of beauty can only be enjoyed by the Marquis Mel and his family. Unfortunately...
Unfortunately, today is different, very different. For some reason, as time gradually enters the evening, the beautiful sunset no longer appears. Instead, the sun sets early and the dark night quickly covers the manor. No one knows why this scene is so abnormal.
There will be people who understand what it means, but for those in the manor, for the few remaining living people...
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, and even a crucial night that determines everyone's life and death.
The night is very dark, so dark that it makes one’s heart palpitate, and so black that one shudders...
3rd floor corridor.
"Mr. Butler, you, you said that this manor was the private residence of Prince O'Fili more than 100 years ago?"
"Yes, you Easterners don't know much about the legend of Prince O'Philly, but in the hearts of us in Europe, especially many British people, the five words 'Prince O'Philly' are a name that is difficult to forget. Even now,
Many older people still vaguely remember this person."
Yes, at He Fei's request, the old butler Domes, who was the oldest among the people and had served the old Marquis for most of his life, started talking. With the help of his memory, the old man told He Fei what he knew about the past, and what happened at Halton Manor.
Tell the truth about the past, as for what
Fei, he originally thought that even if the manor was weird in the past, he would be able to accept it. Unexpectedly, as soon as the old housekeeper said it, the first thing He Fei heard was not something strange or a legend about trouble. Instead, he learned a story.
A strange name he had never heard before...
Prince O'Phili.
Who is this? Or is this person the first owner of Halton Manor?
