The sun gradually sets, and the lively town becomes quiet.
Perhaps the legend of "a ghost seeking life" is too scary, and people have been missing in the town over the years. Therefore, both the elderly and children will rush home before it gets completely dark and close the door tightly.
Close.
The liveliness and peace during the day seemed to be just an illusion. At night, the residents looked nervous and wary, and the streets of the entire town became empty, like an empty city.
The waiter at the inn where Xiao Lou and the others were staying also kindly came over and told them, "Sir, you can't go out after dark in our town. The door of the inn has been locked. If you have any instructions, you can call me directly."
Xiao Lou thanked him politely and sent the waiter away.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the last trace of light disappeared as the sun set.
Night has fallen.
Xiao Lou held his breath, opened the window a little, and listened carefully to what was going on outside - it was so quiet outside that you could hear a pindrop, not to mention human voices, not even the cries of birds, pigs and dogs. It was completely empty.
The small town was shrouded in the gentle moonlight, and the dark shadows cast by the branches on the roadside were like devils with teeth and claws.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew and Xiao Lou's open window slammed shut.
The sound seemed to be amplified several times in the silent night, ringing in his ears like thunder. Xiao Lou was startled. He tried to open the window again, but found that the window seemed to be locked from the outside by a strange force and could not be opened at all.
.
When Yu Hanjiang saw Xiao Lou pushing the window hard, his expression changed and he quickly walked to him, "What's going on?"
Xiao Lou said, "The window suddenly cannot be opened."
Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou pushed the window outward with all their strength. However, the harder he pushed, the greater the force sealing the window from the outside. It was as if there was a magical force interacting with his pushing force and canceling each other out.
Yu Hanjiang's brows furrowed tighter and tighter. With his arm strength, it was not difficult to smash the wooden window, let alone push it open. This window, which was fine just now, suddenly couldn't be opened when the wind blew it? Yu Hanjiang
Sensing something was wrong, he immediately grabbed Xiao Lou's wrist, quickly turned around and came to the door, "Let's go!"
He stretched out his long legs and kicked the door hard. As a result, the door could not be opened.
The two of them clearly didn't lock the door after sending the waiter away.
Yu Hanjiang signaled Xiao Lou to take a step back with his eyes, then took out the Night Demon Saber and slammed towards the door——
The wooden doors and windows remained motionless under the sharp blade that cut iron like mud, as if they had been sealed by magical power!
Xiao Lou's face turned pale. "Are we trapped in this room?"
Yu Hanjiang said, "Try to contact other people."
Xiao Lou pressed the voice earphone in his ear and asked hurriedly, "Can anyone hear me?"
There was no response from the headphones, it was extremely quiet.
Yu Hanjiang lowered his voice, "Are Lao Mo, Liu Qiao, Long Sen, and Qu Wanyue all here?!"
Still no sound.
A strong uneasiness arose in Xiao Lou's heart: "Is it a hunter?"
The situation at this time reminded him of the mermaid maze in level q. In the hand of "Copy No. 5 Xiao Lou", there was a card called "Card Magnetic Field Shield", which could block the skills of all cards in a wide range.
But the strange thing is that when they dragged the man into the Peach Blossom Spring and burned him to death, they did not find that card on the other person.
Xiao Lou believed that the man took the initiative to destroy the card.
As for the source and destination of Hunter's cards, they had too little information and it was indeed difficult to track them, so the matter could only be left alone.
But now, the card failure has occurred again.
If it is a banned card area, the floating box will pop up a prompt "Cards are banned in the current scene". If there is no prompt and the team headset is invalid, then someone must have used other cards to suppress the effect of the card in Xiao Lou's hand.
——Definitely a hunter.
Although Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou were not connected, a look in their eyes was enough for each other to understand the meaning.
At this moment, countless dense hairs suddenly slipped in through the gaps between the windows and doors. Those hairs were like conscious tentacles, quickly sweeping towards Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou!
Xiao Lou's expression suddenly changed.
They stood in the middle of the house, hair pouring in like a tide from the windows and door cracks. Within 3 seconds, the two of them were surrounded by hair and had no way to escape.
Seeing that the hair was about to wrap around Xiao Lou's neck, Yu Hanjiang pulled hard with his left hand, half-hugged Xiao Lou in his arms, jumped up, and at the same time, picked up a sharp saber with his right hand and slashed at the hair!
The hair should be broken by the blade of the knife.
But these hairs have a very strong ability to grow, and cutting them off will not affect the overall situation.
The broken hair fell all over the floor, but the remaining hair continued to spread and grow around. More and more hair came in from the cracks in the door and windows, and there was almost no place to stay on the ground. Yu Hanjiang looked in all directions
The long-haired people who came around frowned and slashed quickly with their sabers while trying to break through the secret room.
Xiao Lou's mind was spinning very fast - the current scene was very similar to "Card Magnetic Field Shielding". Yu Hanjiang's saber could be used because this card was an equipment card and did not have any skills. The invalid "Psychic Telepathy",
"Team Headset", etc., are all "skill" cards.
Fortunately, Xiao Lou remembered clearly that the magnetic field shielding card he encountered at that time only lasted for 5 minutes. They specifically asked Ye Qi to play the flute for an experiment.
Fortunately, I paid more attention at the time and confirmed the specific duration of the Hunter card.
Xiao Lou whispered, "Hold on for five minutes. If my guess is correct, it's that magnetic field shielding card again!"
Yu Hanjiang nodded, and he and Xiao Lou quickly cut off the tangled hair while retreating, quickly retreating to the wall, with their backs against the wall. In this way, they only had to face the hair in the front, left, and right directions, and did not have to worry about them sneaking up from behind.
.
The man's handsome face was filled with a chilling air, and the hair around him was annoying. The hair was sweeping away faster and faster, but Yu Hanjiang's knife was also getting faster and faster!
For a moment, the snow-white sword light waved around Yu Hanjiang in an airtight manner.
He just used the sharp sword light to cover himself and Xiao Lou, making those hairs impossible to get close to him!
Xiao Lou knew very well that once these hairs were wrapped around their necks, they would soon be strangled to death. Five minutes sounded short, but when they could die at any time, it was longer than a century.
Xiao Lou was worried about disturbing Yu Hanjiang's movements, so he said nothing and stayed quietly beside Yu Hanjiang.
The man's gaze was deep, and the knife in his hand was as fast as lightning. He cut as many hairs as he wanted. The mechanized action lasted for a long time. The muscles in his arms were always tense, and he didn't seem to feel tired at all.
Suddenly, Liu Qiao's voice came from Xiao Lou's earphones: "Professor Xiao? Can you hear me?"
As soon as Xiao Lou heard Xiao Liu's voice, he knew that the crisis of card blocking was temporarily lifted. Before he could answer, he saw the hair around him suddenly disappearing as quickly as the ebbing tide, as if he had received some order.
Yu Hanjiang frowned and looked around.
The hair that had fallen to the ground after being chopped off was also missing.
He came to the window and pushed it hard - the window was pushed open easily.
The confinement was lifted. It was dark outside the window, the cold moon hung high in the sky, and it was quiet as if nothing had happened.
Yu Hanjiang said sternly, "Sneaky, get out of here!"
"Hahahaha." A young woman's silver bell-like laughter came from not far away. In the silent night, the laughter was surprisingly weird. Yu Hanjiang squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of the sound. In his field of vision, there was a white streak.
The figure suddenly flashed past.
That person was wearing an ancient woman's white dress, with wide sleeves and gauze, disheveled hair, and lips as red as blood. Her whereabouts were erratic, exactly the same as the legend of "a fierce ghost seeking his life" that Tang Ci mentioned during the day...
Xiao Lou said solemnly, "It seems that the so-called evil ghosts are actually hunters who have sneaked into this world?"
Yu Hanjiang pressed the earphone and asked, "Is everyone okay? Please tell me what happened just now."
Qu Wanyue's voice came to her ears, and she trembled slightly, "Just now, the doors and windows were suddenly locked, making it impossible to get out. We realized something was wrong, and quickly used the Chameleon Card to merge with the wall, and then we saw a lot of hair pouring in!"
Long Sen sighed, "Fortunately, Wanyue reacted quickly enough. Those hairs are really disgusting. They can continue to grow and spread, and soon filled the entire room. They didn't notice where we were and just dispersed automatically!"
This couple did react quickly enough and went straight to the wall when in danger.
Xiao Lou asked, "Where are Lao Mo and Xiao Liu?"
Liu Qiao said, "Our situation is similar. The doors and windows were blocked, and a lot of hair suddenly attacked us. My card skills couldn't be used. Uncle Mo was quick to think and built a seamless secret room with marble bricks. We hid in it and put the
The hair is separated."
Lao Mo's marble tiles and wooden floor were all tool cards, which could be taken out and used just like Yu Hanjiang's knives. Being locked up in the secret room, he made a smaller marble secret room and retracted into a "turtle shell" to protect himself.
Also smart.
His teammates were all fine, and Xiao Lou finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Lao Mo said, "Just now, I heard Captain Yu's voice. Are there hunters in the copy at night?"
Liu Qiao frowned and said, "Is the card in his hand the magnetic field shield of the card we encountered in level q? All my cards just now can't be used."
Xiao Lou nodded, "Yes."
Liu Qiao asked doubtfully, "But if I remember correctly, the card's magnetic field shielding will block all skill cards within the range, right? Why can that hunter continue to attack us with his hair?"
Yu Hanjiang whispered, "Maybe that's not her card, but her own skill."
"Brings her own skills?" Liu Qiao was stunned, and quickly realized, "Her identity in this secret room is a ghost? She can seal us with seals, and she can also attack targets with her growing hair?!"
"That's right." Xiao Lou's face looked a little ugly, and he whispered, "The hunter may be able to choose his own identity, choose a ghost, and snipe us in the ghost city dungeon at night. The success rate will be higher."
The woman in white just now can not only attack Xiao Lou and his group with her hair, but her movements are erratic, which is equivalent to her own teleportation skills. The white ghost disappears in the blink of an eye, so it will definitely be difficult to catch her.
There are such hunters in the night dungeon. No wonder the gatekeeper wants them to "live" when entering the secret room!
Xiao Lou was startled and suddenly said, "Brother Jiu? Xiaoye? Can you hear me?"
Everyone discussed it for a long time, but no one of the six teammates outside the town interrupted.
With Jiu Ge's temper, he would definitely yell "fuck" when he heard this. With Xiao Ye's personality, when everyone was discussing, he would definitely say whatever he thought of, and he couldn't be so quiet.
Yu Hanjiang sensed something was wrong and lowered his voice and said, "Brother, I heard the reply."
There was no response from the headphones, it was so quiet that it was heart-wrenching.
The card's magnetic field shielding has expired for 5 minutes. Logically speaking, team communication can now be used as usual.
Why do people who stay outside the town lose contact?
Could it be that Ninth Brother and the others are also in trouble?
