Chapter 343 It’s Indistinguishable Between Humans and Ghosts
"how?"
"Face, face, there are so many women's faces... they were on the tree just now, right on the tree, they seemed to be smiling at me... a sinister smile..."
"Where is the face? Did you mistake the shadow of the tree burl for a face?"
"The tumor is still a face. I can still tell. It must be a face. It's not that of an ordinary human. It looks a bit like an elf. No, it looks a bit like a drow..."
"Otherwise, let's go out. I feel like there are malicious eyes everywhere here."
"No, we have walked so far and have already arrived at the main building. We are the first group of people to walk this far. It would be a pity not to go in and have a look. Hold on, hold on, Mr. Mike, you haven't done it yet
How long will it take to play Ecstasy?"
"Okay, okay, okay, here we go."
A bard among the merchants woke up from a dream and immediately put his instrument to his mouth and started playing.
The cheerful harmonica sound instantly soothed everyone's uneasiness.
He is timid, naive and loves to play.
This sentence is vividly demonstrated by this group of businessmen.
They are just like those cowardly ghost movie lovers.
I was scared to death and screamed every time, but I couldn't bear to watch the plot behind it. Even if I dragged a group of people who were not interested, I still had to finish the movie.
So far, the scary atmosphere of the ghost manor is full, but it is more of a psychological suggestion, and there is no substantial scare point, which directly scares all these people away.
Squeak!
The door to the main building of the manor was slowly pushed open, making a harsh friction sound that immediately made everyone's hearts lift.
It's obviously as good as new, so why does it sound like it's in disrepair?
As the door opened, a burst of flames burst out.
In the dark corridor, two rows of candles were lit simultaneously.
It's just that this kind of candle looks a bit weird, surrounded by a circle of black mist, and the burning flame is not red, but green. The light produced is weak and very dim, and can only barely reach the level of seeing.
Damn! That’s so despicable!
Everyone couldn't help but yell angrily.
It would be better not to have such lighting.
This is simply a natural cover for the ghosts.
In this environment, even if a person is walking across the street, it can be mistaken for a ghost.
"Hey, there's a sign in front of there. What does it say?"
"It's too dark to see clearly. It seems to be written, Congratulations on passing the first level of the Silent Courtyard. You are a real warrior who can face ghosts. The second level is the haunted main building. There are three treasure chests in it, two of which are hidden.
There is a treasure, and each treasure contains a scare. Warriors are welcome to search for it. The treasure in the treasure chest belongs to the finder. The value of the treasure chest is no less than a bottle of ghost wine."
"Ha... is there such a good thing? A treasure chest worth a bottle of ghost wine? That's at least one hundred and eighty gold coins, so generous."
"What are you waiting for? Let's go look for it quickly?"
"Don't be too happy too early. Do you think treasure chests are so easy to obtain? Those places suitable for hiding treasure chests may not necessarily contain anything?"
Just when the merchants were intrigued by the treasure box and started talking about it.
They didn't notice that they had been lured into the main building by this vague explanation board. The door behind them closed silently until it made a loud noise at the last moment.
That situation seemed like a deliberate reminder to them.
The businessmen who reacted immediately became furious and started shouting one by one.
"Who closed the door? Who closed the door?"
"No one closes the door, and we are not crazy. Who will close the door? The door closes itself."
"Open it quickly, open the door quickly."
"It's useless. It can't be opened. The door seems to be locked from behind."
"Aren't we here for a visit? Why are we closing the door? Why are we locking the door?"
"Hurry up and open the door. I don't want to play anymore. I want to go out."
"It's no use. I checked earlier and there was no one behind us, at least it wasn't someone who locked the door for us."
"Mr. Dame, now is not the time to pretend to be blind. Hurry up and use the ghost eyeband to see if there are any other people or non-human friends hiding around us."
The door that closed on its own but could not be opened instantly raised the terrifying atmosphere to a new level.
No matter how scared they were before, there was an element of fun in it. At worst, they would just run away and evacuate the manor. At most, they would be laughed at by the businessmen waiting there.
But now their escape route is blocked.
The businessman named Damei, not caring about anything else, took out a black satin-like eyeband and tied it around his eyes.
Damei suddenly felt that wisps of cool air came from the black eyeband and soaked into his eyes.
The line of sight is not as seriously affected as expected, it is a bit blurry at best, but the picture quality has changed. Things are no longer in color, but in black and white. This is a characteristic of the Shadow Plane.
From now on, what he sees is no longer just things in the material world, but also things that are half in the material plane and the other side is connected to the shadow plane.
Damei verified this matter before her eyes.
The ghost cloak sold at the auction happened to be restrained by the ghost eyeband.
This made Damei shout in her heart that she had made a profit.
In his heart, he secretly laughed at the owner of Vizeme Manor for being such a fool for auctioning equipment with restraint capabilities at the same auction. He was not afraid that the restrained party would return the goods.
Facts have proved that his worries were unnecessary.
Even though the invisibility ability of the ghost cloak will be restrained by the ghost eyeband, the flaws are not concealed, and other abilities are equally exciting.
What made the businessman regretful was that he did not have the foresight to take pictures of the ghost eye towels together, so that they could be sold in bundles, or they could just take off the ghost eye towels and not sell them to the outside world.
"How is it? How is it? Did you see anything? Are there other existences around us?" Other businessmen kept asking.
"No, there is nothing. We are the only ones here." Damei's answer made everyone feel a little calmer.
"What now?"
"What else can we do? Of course we need to move forward. There can't be only one entrance to this building. There must be other exits. Let's look for them carefully together."
"Look for the treasure chest by the way."
"You really want money rather than your life."
"If you didn't want money, would you be here? No one thinks money is too much."
Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!
At some point, the weird music that had been lingering in my ears disappeared, and the entire main building became silent.
There was a sudden movement, which was particularly loud.
Everyone looked around and saw a broom swinging around the corner.
A broom is not scary.
But a broom that moves by itself without anyone holding it is scary.
Especially when the music that has been silent for a long time suddenly sounds loudly.
Several timid people collapsed instantly and shouted: "Ghost..."
Then he ran wildly along the dark corridor.
Under their influence, several people started running along without thinking.
Completely tear the businessmen who were huddled together into pieces.
A few people who were still sensible shouted loudly: "It's not a ghost, it's not a ghost, it's an activated broom, just an activated broom."
"Don't run around. We don't know what's inside. That's dangerous."
As the emotionally broken businessmen ran wildly, green candles deeper in the dark corridor were lit.
The situation inside made the businessman, who had already suffered an emotional breakdown, scream and run faster.
Those who didn't collapse also had a numb scalp.
Those candlesticks are clearly wood carvings, dark, lifelike human-shaped wood carvings, with candles on their heads.
Each of these wooden sculptures has an expressionless face and looks at everyone.
No, they seemed to be turning as the merchants passed by, always silently staring at the collapsed merchants, making their escape faster.
"Treasure chest, there is a treasure chest there."
"It's really a treasure chest."
Some sharp-eyed businessmen saw the big treasure box at the end of the corridor at a glance.
That treasure chest is very consistent with the world's perception of treasure chests. It is one meter long and half a meter high. It is more than enough for an adult to fit in. It is made of thick logs, has gold-rimmed silver locks, and iron-wrapped corners. It is extremely gorgeous.
"Don't open it, don't open it, don't open it. What I just explained is very clear. Only two of the three treasure boxes contain treasures, and the other one is frightening. Do you think that Mr. Gavin would be so kind and give us free gifts?
?Putting it in such an obvious place is probably more of a shock than a surprise."
"That makes perfect sense. The location of this treasure chest is so conspicuous that only a blind man can't see it. There must be a trap inside."
"Perhaps someone is taking advantage of your thoughts and putting the real treasure box here so that you don't dare to open it. When you confidently open the other two treasure boxes, a big surprise will suddenly pop out.
.”
"What you said is not impossible. In this case, I will leave this treasure box to you to open, and the treasure inside belongs to you."
"Haha... well... forget it. I came here not for the treasures, but mainly to see the name of the Ghost Manor. Now that I have seen it, it is well-deserved. Let's find a way to leave quickly."
"Coward! The words you just said are solid, and I don't dare to confirm my feelings."
An extremely luxurious treasure chest was placed there, but no merchant dared to open it.
They have no concept of the fright mentioned in the instructions and dare not try it rashly.
And these are smart people. This treasure chest is so conspicuous and easy to find.
Wait for the other two treasure chests, and after opening the fright, it's not too late to go back and open them.
They had just entered the second floor along the stairs, when several figures loomed in the darkness and rushed towards them.
"Ghost!"
"Ghost!"
Both sides burst out screaming at the same time, turned around and ran away.
But before taking two steps, Meng Buding discovered that the entire corridor was shrouded in a faint black mist. The green candlelight became even dimmer, and it was impossible to completely distinguish the appearance of the other party after five steps.
The large group of businessmen around him have disappeared, leaving only a few kittens.
The corridor that could be seen to the end at a glance became extremely deep and winding, with side roads everywhere.
These businessmen couldn't help but have the illusion that they were no longer in the material plane, but had entered another world.
As for which world, you know without asking - the plane of shadow.
Damei felt this the most deeply, because the black and white feeling was more thorough and obvious.
There was a sound of footsteps, and Damei instinctively thought that it was a lost friend, so she rushed forward to meet him, but after only taking three steps, she turned around and ran away without hesitation.
Because these footsteps were neat and uniform, without any signs of panic, and the sound of landing was extremely crisp, just like the sound of steel nails hitting the stone surface. This was not the sound that adventure boots should have.
Other beings blended into the black mist.
Although I know that the other person will not hurt me, I don't want to confront them.
Just listen to the screams one after another in the black fog, and you will know that it is definitely not a good experience.
Damei didn't know how long she had been running in the black mist. There were fewer and fewer companions around her, and she was finally left alone.
In the dark mist, when I heard the noise, I didn't dare to take the initiative to get close to him, but ran away in a far away direction.
Because no one knows whether the other person is a human or a ghost.
