Lu Li re-entered the piano room, raised the oil lamp, and looked around.
The room was dark and silent, and Anna and Hades were nowhere to be seen.
What misfortune did they encounter? Or is it you who encountered the misfortune?
Lu Li walked straight to the window and raised his hand to push the window.
The windows remained motionless, as if they were integrated into the space.
Lu Li took half a step back and swung his elbow out!
Bang——
The elbow hit the glass firmly, making a dull sound. The window did not shake, but the sharp pain coming from the elbow was extremely clear, like hitting a masonry wall.
It seemed that it wasn't that they were missing, but that he was trapped.
The uncomfortable and obscure smell permeated the entire room and even the entire house.
Lu Li turned his attention to the coffee cup on the low table next to the piano and reached out to pick it up.
But Lu Li failed. He held the cup with his palm and tried to pick it up. The latter seemed to be fixed to the table and motionless. Not even the coffee in the cup made any ripples.
Lu Li tapped his finger on the coffee in the cup.
Dong Dong——
There is no rebound force at all, like a dull sound of tapping cement, which makes the nails slightly painful.
It's obviously not the coffee that's frozen.
The surrounding scenery remains unchanged, and all objects cannot be moved...
Lu Li was thoughtful.
Da da da--
Suddenly at this moment, slow and heavy footsteps sounded outside the door.
Lu Li's expression condensed, and he ignored the room that seemed to be frozen in time for the time being, and quickly walked towards the door.
But the moment Lu Li was about to approach the door, the wooden door automatically closed with a loud bang, and the air flow swept up Lu Li's corner.
Lu Li stopped suddenly, his flintlock rifle half-holstered, ready to fire at any moment.
Dang clang——
There was a sudden crunching sound behind him, the coffee cup was overturned and the coffee was spilled all over the floor.
It was as if some invisible presence was moving things in the room.
While Lu Li was on guard, he suddenly saw a piece of paper floating up and landing on the keys, and then a quill floating up and writing automatically in the air.
Under the light of the oil lamp, Lu Li saw a line of writing emerging on the paper.
【Where have you been】
Immediately afterwards, a new line appears.
[You disappeared after you went out, but your ghost can see you. She said you were on the wall, but no matter how she called you, there was no response. ]
On the wall?
Lu Li realized something, walked to the window, and looked out into the dark outside world.
It was like a thick black fog shrouded outside, making it impossible for eyes to penetrate.
"Am I in the talisman..."
Lu Li whispered.
The quill was stunned for a moment and continued writing [She told me that I can hear your voice, are you in the talisman?]
"Yeah." Lu Li nodded.
Anna said that she appeared on the wall, just like those black silhouettes, which only meant that she was in the same space as them.
Although Lu Li didn't know how he got in.
Hades also didn't understand, but he obviously knew that Lu Li couldn't possibly know the answer.
Da da--
Footsteps were still approaching outside the door.
Lu Li raised his eyes and looked outside the door and said, "Lock the door first. I can't move the room to see anything. There is a ghost outside the door now."
【Can you make it?】
The quill wrote.
"If you had asked a few more questions, it would have been too late."
The quill was thrown onto the paper. Lu Li moved his eyes and saw that the door suddenly locked automatically.
Da da da--
The footsteps were very close. The moment they reached the door, the sound suddenly disappeared, and the dark corridor fell into dead silence.
The last place it rang was behind the door.
Lu Li's oil lamp shined on the door. The reflective doorknob on the pale wooden door moved down little by little.
Click——
The door was pushed but did not open.
Because the door was locked, no one from outside could come in.
Hades in the real world also observed the door handle being pulled down.
He suddenly understood the purpose of this talisman, grabbed the quill and wrote: "How did you get in?"
The handwriting was very illegible, but it was legible enough for Lu Li to read.
After finishing writing, Hades looked at Anna and saw the latter recounting Lu Li's words: "If I knew, I wouldn't be still here."
[I probably know what’s going on...]
[Hold on, I'll find a way to wipe off part of the talisman and create a gap. But I can't help you during this period. You can only find a way to avoid danger on your own.]
"good."
Lu Li agreed and heard footsteps outside the door starting to leave.
"Open the door."
【Why?】
"If they have other ways to get in, I won't even have a place to run." After thinking about it, Lu Li added, "Protect Anna. I don't want anything to happen to her after she gets out."
The quill paused for a long time, and then moved slowly: [I know, don't die]
The quill fell back onto the paper, no longer under control.
Lu Li put the oil lamp aside, wiped off the non-existent dust on the bench in front of the piano, and sat down.
Squeak——
The door was unlocked and slowly opened.
Lu Li's attention fell on the door.
But at this moment, a pitch-black withered hand appeared outside the door and grabbed the edge of the door frame. Then a pitch-black head peeked out from the door with a strange expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.
In a dim room illuminated only by an oil lamp, a figure quietly peeked out from the door, which was quite scary - Lu Li stared at it quietly with no expression on his face.
Lu Li wanted to lure it in and close the distance. The current distance of seven to eight meters meant that he could not guarantee a kill with one hit with the psychic gun. However, he unfortunately found that he could not express emotions such as "fear" and "panic", so
He tried other methods instead.
"Ah, it's so scary. What should I do? Am I going to die? Who will save me?"
Lu Li looked calm and spoke the above words in a calm tone to the ghost soul outside the door.
The ghost soul remained motionless, still quietly observing Lu Li.
Giving up on the idea of luring the enemy deeper, Lu Li stood up, hid his right hand behind his back, and slowly approached the door.
The ghost beside the door gradually retracted his head as if he realized something.
How could Lu Li let it escape? He stepped on it and rushed out, carrying the wind and rushing towards the ghost soul.
The ghost soul beside the door sensed something was wrong and turned around to escape.
The flintlock gun hidden behind his back was no longer hidden. Lu Li held it tightly, stretched out his arm, and pulled the trigger.
Bang!
The ear-splitting roar echoed back and forth in the house that was integrated into the space, and the recoil of the gun shot the dark figure flying out.
Lu Li chased him to the corridor, only to find that the ghost was moving extremely fast, climbing up to the ceiling regardless of gravity, and crawling into corners with all four limbs. It was not at all as slow as when it came.
Lu Li looked back at the other side of the corridor, and then chased the ghost soul around the corner where it disappeared.
A staircase spreading upward appeared in front of us. Above the stairs, as far as the light could reach, the ghost was fixed on the ceiling. His figure paused, his charred face with a half-smile but not a smile quietly stared at Lu Li below, and then turned around, like a spider.
