Chapter Nine The Old Lady

Dai Xiyan slowly pulled the bow in his hand.

Whenever she drew her bow, the will-o'-the-wisps on the arrows would burn more intensely.

Only in this way can the fear in her heart be relieved a little.

If she had a choice, she really didn't want to take this path.

Even though it was indoors, the ground was extremely muddy, and there were old chairs, discarded washing machines, and countless garbage piled in the corridor.

Before, she was able to successfully escape from that dangerous room, thanks to someone who rewarded her with a rocket. However, such good luck cannot last forever.

Rockets cannot be lethal to any evil spirits. Dai Xiyan also knows this very well.

The corridor came to a corner, and she looked forward. At the end of the corridor was an open door, leading to the outside.

She walked over quickly.

At this moment, when she passed a door, the door suddenly opened!

Dai Xiyan immediately looked inside the door!

Then she saw...

A corpse fell to the ground with a rocket piercing its head.

However, the audience in the live broadcast room cannot see the body.

Have any residents passed through this place before?

Dai Xiyan aimed his bow and arrow indoors.

The sense of security that a rocket can bring you is too limited.

She stared intently at the body that fell to the ground. The body looked like a highly decomposed zombie, and its head was continuously burned by will-o'-the-wisps, and its facial features could not be seen clearly.

Dai Xiyan didn't dare to walk with her back turned to it, as that was simply seeking death.

Suddenly, the door in front of me suddenly closed again!

Dai Xiyan quickly opened the door again, but... the body disappeared.

Dai Xiyan clenched the arrow in her hand.

where is it?

She glanced front, back, left, and right, and even the ceiling.

But, there is nothing.

Dai Xiyan's breathing began to become rapid, and at the same time, her eyes also glanced at the screen of her mobile phone.

Dedicated to "her"...

Dedicated to "her"...

She didn't know why, but this sentence kept lingering in her mind and she couldn't get rid of it.

"I……"

At this moment, a rotten hand suddenly stretched out from the collar of Dai Xiyan's clothes and grabbed her neck!



Xia Li gradually realized that Lu Sheng Town and Ba Tuo Walled City might really be merging with some mysterious power.

At this time, he was traveling through another corridor.

Perhaps because of the rocket shock, no new evil spirits appeared along the way. But even so, Xia Li did not dare to relax at all.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a strange sound.

"This is?"

Xia Li slowly walked forward and found a little light coming from an open door.

Xia Li walked forward, looked inside the door, and then found a white-haired old woman kneeling down and prostrating in front of her. What she heard was the sound of the old woman prostrating.

However, there was no one in the direction where she was bowing.

"Old man?"

Xia Li didn't know whether the other party was a human or a ghost, but having the rocket in hand gave him a little more courage.

The old woman slowly turned her head.

Her face was covered with a lot of wrinkles, and the skin on her face was so loose that it seemed to be hanging down. It was covered with dense age spots, and a blush appeared on her forehead because she was prostrating too hard.

"Old man..." Xia Li first kept a certain distance from the old woman, ready to bend his bow and shoot arrows at any time, and then said, "What are you prostrating to?"

The old woman turned around and continued to kneel down and kowtow.

Several minutes passed before the old woman stood up and looked at Xia Li.

"You're not a local, are you?"

The old woman's voice was extremely hoarse, and it was very difficult for Xia Li to hear her words clearly.

"Yes, I'm not..."

"come in."

Xia Li thought for a while, maybe he could get some clues about how to survive from the old woman's mouth, so he walked in. Even if the old woman turned into an evil spirit and came to kill him, he would still have time to react and shoot an arrow. At such a close distance, he would not

Missed.

Xia Li walked in and asked: "Old man, you..."

"Now that you're in, don't wander around outside easily." The old woman looked at the direction where she just kowtowed: "You have to be careful about 'her'..."

"she"?

Xia Li became alert and said, "Old man, who are you talking about?"

The old woman immediately raised her hand and made a "shh" gesture.

"Can't say... absolutely can't say..."

Xia Li realized in her heart that the old woman was probably an NPC in similar games who could provide key information. Maybe she was arranged by the apartment to give residents tips on how to survive.

"By the way, turn that one off first."

The old woman suddenly pointed at Xia Li's mobile phone, meaning to ask him to interrupt the live broadcast first.

"ah?"

"hurry up."

According to the rules of blood, residents can interrupt the live broadcast for a short period of time. Of course, this will definitely have an impact on the rewards.

"good."

Xia Li weighed it up and turned off the live broadcast first.

The old woman asked him to sit down.

"'She' has always wanted to come out. But, there is still one last thing to do."

the last one?

Xia Li suddenly thought, could it be... the entrance to hell?

The fifth entrance to hell?

"Old man, who are you?" Xia Li's expression became solemn, "Do you... know where I am... from?"

"Karma……"

The old woman uttered these two words in a hoarse voice: "It's karma, and it's also reincarnation."

Then, the door behind him suddenly closed automatically!

Xia Li was shocked!

"The door will open automatically in a moment." The old woman said calmly, "Don't worry, I won't harm you."

Xia Li was full of vigilance: Are you not going to harm me, or are you afraid that I will shoot you with the arrow in my hand?

"What can you tell me?" Xia Li became nervous.

"Although 'she' can't get out now, her 'eyes' are still there." The old woman looked in the direction where she had just bowed, "I can't get out. Maybe you can't get out either."

"I must get out!" Xia Li said decisively: "At any cost! Please tell me about the 'her' you are talking about..."

"Don't touch the dolls she made." The old woman said this: "Don't touch her dolls. One of her dolls was once here."

"Doll?" Xia Li's breathing began to quicken.

"We bought it from 'her' for... two thousand taels of silver."

Two thousand taels of silver?

After all, Xia Li has never studied ancient currencies. There is no precedent for using silver as currency in the history of his world, so he doesn't know how much it costs. But it is obvious that this is by no means the normal price of a doll.

"We shouldn't have bought it."

Xia Li licked her lips and asked, "How do you know about the inn?"

The old woman was silent.

After a long time, she said this again.

"A girl came here back then and she found the doll we bought."

"Then what?"

Xia Li suddenly realized something.

"Is the girl you are talking about...Qiao Chuyi?"

Qiao Chuyi came here and drew it into the Bato Walled City in the comics.

"is that so?"

But the old woman stopped talking.

Xia Li didn't dare to force her to speak, after all, this old woman was probably not a human being.

"What on earth were you praying for just now?"

Xia Li simply asked such a question.

"That doll."

Xia Li immediately looked in the direction where he had just kowtowed.

But where are the dolls?

"It's not here now, but you can say it's still here. It's also 'her' eye."

Doll... eyes?

Is it equivalent to the evil spirit's clone?

"You just said that you spent two thousand taels of silver... It was still the Qing Dynasty or the Republic of China at that time? Do you mean your family, or?"

"No. It was the people of this entire town who jointly raised the money to buy the doll from 'her'."

"Why spend so much money on a doll?"

"We... want to live."

When the old woman said this, she looked in the direction where she had just kowtowed, and Xia Li also followed her gaze.

"But we were wrong...'she' is the real evil..."

The sentence stopped abruptly.

Xia Li quickly looked over and saw that the old woman...had disappeared without a trace!

He immediately stood up and pointed the rocket around.

At the same time, he moved to the door, turned the door handle, and successfully opened the door.

Xia Li could leave now, but after thinking about it, he walked back into the room.

He opened the bedroom door in the house.

What caught my eye was a black and white portrait enshrined in front of the table. In that photo, it was the old lady!
