Mysterious recovery: starting from the tricky post office

Chapter 218 The dismembered knife
"Someone is coming from outside."

Xia Yu stood in the lobby and looked at the group of strangers walking towards her, and then reminded Lin Xian in the hotel.

"Don't worry about them, those are post office couriers."

Lin Xian just looked back. It was certain that the messenger from the third floor would come. After all, no one wanted to put their life in the hands of others.

It's just that since these people are here, they must be prepared to die at any time. This is their choice and the consequences they must bear.

"Lin Xian, you are indeed here."

Among the crowd, a young man with curly hair wearing a gray plaid shirt spoke first, and his eyes fell on Lin Xian without reservation.

"The messenger on the third floor, your name should be Xu Zhou, but you surprised me by finding out my name."

Lin Xian turned around and looked at this man with his eyes.

As the messenger on the third floor, Lin Xian did not disclose his name at the beginning, and with an ordinary person's background, it was somewhat difficult to accurately investigate his name.

After all, his appearance has been changed. Even face verification or iris search cannot find him.

However, Xu Zhou smiled and said calmly: "The messenger must have his own methods, but I am glad that I did not find the wrong place. When I saw you, this is obviously the delivery place on the letter."

Lin Xian didn't answer. He just silently glanced at some of the messengers following the man, and among them, he also saw the woman who was collecting the ashes on the third floor.

"Whether you succeed or not depends on you, but I would like to remind you that it's not too late to leave now, otherwise don't cry and beg me to take you away."

Lin Xian turned his face, and after saying these words, he walked up to the second floor.

Xia Yu followed behind silently. If he were an ordinary person, he might have considered letting Lin Xian take these people along with him, but after she became a ghost controller, this concept has changed.

Because if you have one more burden, you may use the power of the ghost one more time, and this happens to be risking your own life to save others. If it weren't for the Holy Mother, or if it was really the kind of person who risked his life, no one would be willing to bring him. A few burdens.

There is no way to save all the people in this world. Only by making yourself stronger can you have the capital to save more people.

Xu Zhou looked at the two people disappearing at the corner of the corridor. Without too much hesitation, he actually broke away from his team and followed them.

"Hey, Xu Zhou, what are you doing? The strange ghost master is not as friendly as you think."

A messenger in the team couldn't help shouting when he saw this scene.

It is certainly a very wise decision to follow the Ghost Controller, but the nature of the Ghost Controller has always been unstable. In times of crisis, he is more selfish. If he blindly sticks to others, he may actually be in danger. , people will immediately think of using you as a shield.

But his shouting had no effect. Xu Zhou took three steps and then two steps and disappeared around the corner of the corridor.

The remaining messengers looked at each other, but they finally focused on a stern-faced woman.

There were seven people in their messenger team. After Xu Zhou left, they could only place their hopes on the only ghost controller in the team.

"Sister Wang, what should we do now? Should we follow these people up the stairs or take the elevator next door?"

A messenger asked tentatively. He had a hunch that the elevator was not very safe, and it would be better to follow the public's choice.

However, the ghost controller named Sister Wang did not think so. She pondered for a moment, then pointed at three of the messengers and ordered: "Follow the ghost controller named Lin Xian to the stairs, and the rest of you will follow I take the elevator."

She understood that the task of delivering the letter was on the fourth floor, and there were only two ways to reach this place, so she wisely chose a compromise.

This was not to save trouble, but to allow the three couriers who had followed him to collect information about Lin Xian and the situation on the stairs, and maybe find some other clues along the way.

The other messengers were obedient and did not dare to neglect Sister Wang's orders. In less than half a minute, the team split into two teams and left in different directions.

As for these people's petty thoughts, Lin Xian seemed much more generous.

After looking at the stairs leading to the second floor, he stepped on them decisively.

The entire second floor is built in a marble architectural style, with two curved staircases connecting the first floor. If the place had not been completely blocked due to water and power outages, it would be a great place for a luxurious office.

Of course, apart from these, there was nothing else in the stairs and corridors. Even the red carpet and floor tiles on the ground disappeared out of thin air.

The same may be true for floor tiles from the first floor to the second floor and even higher.

Lin Xian didn't pay too much attention, because these were some of the defensive measures Yang Jian took against the tall male corpse at that time.

After all, there were too many footprints in the entire hotel. If the ghost was allowed to wander like this, there was no telling how many people outside would be hacked to death.

Although all the floor tiles have been removed, the dusty cement floor is still filled with many black footprints. The sizes of these footprints are all the same, and the black marks are more like those left by corpses rotting. trace.

"This ghost is still in the hotel, and it seems to have been wandering here these days, but it's not on the second floor. It must have gone somewhere else."

Lin Xian drove the ghost zone and peeked at all the floors of the hotel. From the first floor to the fifth floor, he had a panoramic view of everything.

But it was a pity that he could not find the ghost's location on five floors. Instead, he only found a woman's body in a private room on the third floor.

"If this ghost is not in the real Caesars Hotel, it should have gone to the weird extra passage on the fourth floor."

This place is where the Caesar Hotel is connected to another supernatural place. Basically, the previous supernatural events here were caused by the ghosts who ran out of it.

Using the ghost realm, Lin Xian quickly arrived at this place, but his ghost realm could not pass through the inside of the corridor, nor could it pass through these walls. He could only see the situation in the rooms one and two next to him through human eyes. .

His supernatural being was isolated from the outside, unable to peek or pass through.

Lin Xian has experienced this kind of supernatural phenomenon several times. In addition to the more advanced supernatural beings that can be shielded, the easiest way is to use gold to affect the supernatural.

"The walls and floors are all made of wood, and it seems that the walls and furniture here have become moldy due to being in a dark and damp environment for a long time."

Xia Yu reached out and touched it. She put it to the tip of her nose and smelled it, and then quickly came to a conclusion.

"It's not just mold. This place has existed for nearly a hundred years. It's definitely not the environment built into the Caesar Hotel now."

Lin Xian's face was solemn. They were all walking in the ghost realm to prevent the footprints left by wandering male corpses from stepping on them.

Most of the depressing and slightly narrow corridors are walls, with only a maze-like crossroads. The surrounding environment is extremely dark, and the only source of light is the European-style door lights hanging next to the guest room doors. .

But the door light was a strange dark yellow color and its brightness was very low, almost the same as candlelight.

This kind of light is not bright in every room, but most of the rooms are in a dark state.

Obviously.

There are some unknown supernatural beings in the lighted room, or there are evil spirits inside.

A room with the lights out shows no trace of habitation.

The sound of footsteps echoed in the sealed corridor. Looking at the house numbers passing by, Lin Xian passed the first intersection.

Unlike the Caesar Hotel in the outside world, the red carpet on the ground has not disappeared, as if it completes the road connecting to reality.

"Remember, the real opening hours of the Caesar Hotel should be from ten o'clock in the evening, and then until four o'clock in the morning. During this time, the hotel will be in an extremely active state, and supernatural phenomena will gradually occur more frequently."

"There are still two hours before the opening hours of this hotel. In other words, the task of the letter requires me to survive in the hotel room under business conditions for another two hours until the recipient arrives." Lin Xian recalled this All the changes in the hotel, as well as the opening hours, but he finally stopped in front of a room with 71 engraved on it.

The light beside the door of this room was extinguished, but he knew that there was a strange piano inside. The piano could not only play the cursed melody of the music box, but also play a supernatural curse of death.

He didn't think about pushing the door to enter, because when the light next to the door was dim, the wooden door could not be opened. This phenomenon isolated the supernatural and any physical means.

But just when Lin Xian was considering whether to go too deep into the corridor so early, there was a heavy and stiff step coming from the direction at the end of them.

The frequency and decibels of the footsteps are surprisingly similar, as if they are walking on a machine that can only move repeatedly.

But Lin Xian, who discovered this scene, had a solemn face at this moment, because in his eyes, a tall black figure was walking towards him step by step.

The movement of this thing is slow, but it gives people a very dangerous feeling.

This is the image of a man, but unfortunately it is not a living person, but a highly decomposed corpse. The body of this thing is still exuding a strong corpse smell, and the corpse water dropped from the body after decay is It seeped down the shabby clothes of the male corpse and dripped down to his feet, eventually forming vague footprints.

"It's the tall male corpse wandering in the hotel. This thing really ran into the inner area."

Lin Xian squinted as he watched the ghost approach. In its hand, it was holding an old hatchet.

This hatchet is a little heavy in the hand, but the dangerous aura on it is undoubtedly not something that every ghost controller should be afraid of.

Lin Xian was quite surprised when he saw this hatchet for the first time, because there was nothing special about the appearance of this weapon. Instead, it looked like a knife specially used for cutting firewood in the previous era, but it had... There was also some mud and some black stains on it, as if they were formed after blood coagulated.

"Grab this hatchet first, otherwise the letter delivery mission will definitely be affected."

He immediately made a decision. It was obviously impossible to escape. Now that he had really found this evil ghost, it was a wise decision to remove the hatchet from this thing's hand.

Otherwise, once it is allowed to wander back and forth between the two interfaces, it will inevitably interfere with its own message sending action.

However, the horror level of this ghost is very high, and it has corpse water to defend itself. If you get close, you will be attacked by a hatchet. This kind of protection method that forms a supernatural closed loop is very difficult to find a breakthrough.

He tried to use a will-o'-the-wisp to light the body, but when he thought about it carefully, he wasn't afraid of the fire in the hotel, so would he be afraid of the small flame on the tip of his own gun?
"Try to see if the invasion of ghost bones can control it."

He wanted to make a simple attempt first. He wanted to see what the ghost bone's endurance limit was.

As the scarlet thread tore open on the body of the tall male corpse, a pale skeleton crawled out, and Lin Xian connected himself with the ghost's body.

However, the invasion of the ghost bones was instantly eroded by the corpse water on the tall man's body. The black viscous liquid spread along the ghost's body and quickly covered the ghost bones.

The corrosiveness of this corpse water is so terrifying that even the moment the ghost bones come into contact, some incomprehensible supernatural phenomena occur on the body.

There is white smoke that appears out of thin air, and there are also black marks left on the ghost's bones, which are similar to the footprints left by this ghost after walking.

The erosion of the ghost bones was resisted and was isolated from the outside by the corpse water, but this was not over yet, because the ghost's originally low-hanging arms were actually raised high at this moment.

Lin Xian squinted, and his ghost realm immediately spread out within a few meters of him, and enveloped the tall male corpse in the next moment.

The suppression of the ghost flower seemed to have worked, and the ghost's actions became stagnant.

But this did not substantially affect the ghost's actions, so the ghost's bones were dismembered by the falling hatchet.

The arm protruding from the blood line was cut off immediately, and then fell to the ground feebly.

Ghost Bone's arm was cut off by this thing, and he could no longer sense the supernatural power of the lost arm in a short period of time.

Just when he was still worried about getting the hatchet from this ghost, an inexplicable danger suddenly swept over him.

Lin Xian looked up, only to find that the originally numb male corpse was now strangely staring at himself in the ghost realm.

"Damn it, when you touch this ghost, is the medium triggered? Otherwise, it's impossible that the fifth-level ghost realm can't block this thing's perception."

However, before he could make too many guesses, the hatchet in the ghost's hand slashed down again.

next moment.

Lin Xian's body was cut off at the waist, and blood poured out like a vent, even staining Xia Yu's body beside him.

Finally, as a gap appeared, his entire upper body slid weakly to the ground.

As Lin Xian fell to the ground, the tall male corpse once again walked towards the other direction of the corridor as if nothing had happened.

Xia Yu on the side was even more surprised and speechless when she saw this scene. In her impression, Lin Xian would not be killed so easily. How come now, just one attack from Li Gui caused him to be killed? The body of the club boss fell to the ground separately.

Without thinking, she immediately used her ghost ability.

The function of ghost thread is not just as simple as controlling ghosts. This thing can also sew corpses. No, to be precise, it can sew supernatural beings. It can sew two unrelated supernatural beings together to form a brand new thing.

Of course, this needs to be calculated based on the supernatural strength of the ghost thread itself. If the supernatural power of the ghost thread suture is too strong, then the ghost thread will not be able to withstand the pressure and break on its own during the suturing process.

Fortunately, facing Lin Xian, her supernatural power did not break down.

As black and strange threads that looked like women's hair emerged from Lin Xian's body, the two originally dismembered bodies were sewn together at this moment.

But in addition, the supernatural beings belonging to the ghost bones were also maintaining Lin Xian's body. He did not die, but used the mirror ghost to resist this attack.

The existence of this ghost is very special. After being controlled by Lin Xian, a powerful ghost that could only use a mirror as a medium did not seem to have any supernatural powers. On the contrary, it only indirectly mastered some of the ghost mirror's abilities.

But now, the ghost was dismembered and fell into a brief silence.

Although this did not have a great impact on Lin Xian, the sudden and violent attack was really unexpected.

And if it weren't for his own quick reaction, if the person who was hit was a ghost bone, there might be a problem with whether he could heal himself.

"This ghost is too dangerous. Conventional methods cannot fight against this ghost."

After recovering, Lin Xian looked at the black threads wrapped around his body. He quickly understood that in addition to ghost bones, Xia Yu's ghost threads also played a very important role in allowing his body to recover in such a short period of time. big effect.

He stared at the tall man's corpse leaving, and was about to take action again, but suddenly he noticed a red light quickly spreading towards this place.

"Ok?"

Lin Xian turned around and saw that an acquaintance was already walking in this direction.

It is Yang Jian.

This ghost-eyed detective from Dachang City probably came to this hotel anyway.

There is no doubt that this person will appear in this place during this time period, and this person obviously wants to get the hatchet.

"What a coincidence, I saw you in such a rare embarrassment."

There was not too much surprise on Yang Jian's face, but instead he was surprisingly calm. But without the protection of the music box, if he dared to come to this place alone, wouldn't he be afraid of actually dying here?
Or maybe the situation forced him to come and get this old hatchet despite the risks.
