Mysterious recovery: starting from the tricky post office

Chapter 226
"The will-o'-the-wisps in the fourth-level ghost realm can ignite the supernatural beings in the seventh-level ghost realm. This is obviously impossible. Isn't it also a curse?"

Lin Xian looked at these black lines that were similar to curses. When the supernatural powers were not equal, the will-o'-the-wisps would not be able to affect higher-level supernatural beings. This contradictory and unreasonable phenomenon only showed that there was a problem with his conjecture.

"Is it consciousness? Or is this a ghost that only exists in consciousness?"

He felt that the probability of this situation was greater, because his seventh-level ghost realm did exist in his consciousness. If it was a sixth-level ghost realm, he might really not be able to see this ghost.

Seeing this, Lin Xian didn't dwell too much on this matter. He would know the result by asking Xia Yu after everything was resolved.

However, the two people in the room were still dealing with the matter of recovery, but the entire hotel had really begun to operate outside.

A strange melody sounded in a certain restaurant, which sounded like a lullaby played abroad. There were also some inexplicable footsteps on the dark corridor on the third floor.

There are bloody palm prints on the old and molted walls, a figure standing under the room corresponding to the house number, a pregnant woman with disheveled hair, and a pungent smell.

But fortunately, most of this phenomenon spread to the third floor and did not migrate to other floors.

Lin Xian in the seventh-level ghost realm was still waiting for the suppression of the will-o'-the-wisp. The black threads on Xia Yu's body were all scorched black, and even the weird string puppet seemed dead.

"The supernatural power in my body seems to have really gone silent."

After experiencing the physical pain, Xia Yu seemed to feel that the restless signs of the evil ghost in his body were gradually calmed down. The burning of the will-o'-the-wisp had indeed had an effect.

Lin Xian silently took back the ghost bone, and then motioned to Xia Yu to try using supernatural power to see if it was really immune to the backlash of the ghost's influence.

However, he did not take back the ghost realm, but wanted to witness a result in his heart.

If there is room for development of conscious ghosts, then Xia Yu's ghost should also have its own unique puzzle, such as the puppet on which the ghost string is stored.

Unfortunately, Lin Xian didn't know that there was indeed such a ghost like what he said on an old cruise ship abroad.

Xia Yu tried to use the supernatural power in her body. The black thread wrapped around her hand overflowed from her body, and she quickly pieced together a broken dead man next to her.

However, there were three corpses of dead people. After haphazardly pieced together, it turned out to be a strange creature that was neither human nor ghost.

It was a deformed human body, but under the influence of the ghost thread, there were signs of movement.

However, this phenomenon cannot be regarded as a ghost, but a kind of ghost slave.

perhaps.

If the ghost in Xia Yu's body is revived, a large number of ghost slaves can be created in a short period of time, and the danger is no less harmful than the ghosts in the ghost domain.

Lin Xian squinted and looked at the scene in the seventh-floor ghost realm. What he saw in the ghost realm was not the supernatural beings released by Xia Yu, but the black strings stuck on the puppet's head.

The black thread controlled the puppet, and with the support of the puppet, Xia Yu in reality had the ability to use supernatural powers.

But when he reduced the ghost realm to the sixth level, he couldn't see this phenomenon at all.

His conjecture was verified, and then he took back all the ghost areas.

The bloody room took on a new look in an instant. After the withered yellow light flickered for a few times, it returned to normal. Lin Xian took a look at the clock hanging on the wall of the room.

It was almost eleven o'clock.

"I think these ashes on the ground can be sprinkled at the door, so as to resist the invasion of some evil spirits."

Xia Yu, who returned to reality, paid attention to the ashes left on the floor after Anan's death. This thing helped her resist the attack of the evil ghost. Although it was not complete, it still saved her life, so she still liked it. Quite promising.

"Well, at least it can serve as a layer of insurance."

Lin Xian grabbed a handful of ashes and looked at them. This thing was not cold at all, but hot, as if it had just been baked.

"This thing is most likely the ashes accumulated in the stove. They have been to that house before."

It seems that some important information has been detected, but unfortunately Anan is already dead, and even the bones on the ground have disappeared, leaving only some dirty old cloth.

He looked at the situation outside. Now that the wooden door was destroyed, unless the room was restarted, they would have to face invasions or even attacks from evil spirits at any time.

This is not good news for them.

After all, with the wooden door blocking the way, everyone in the room was almost wiped out. I couldn't imagine what this place would look like at twelve o'clock.

Xia Yu picked up all these ashes. This thing has a natural suppression of supernatural beings. Her ghost line instinctively lost its effect after being covered.

But before the ashes she held were scattered, something weird happened in the entire aisle.

Part of the room on this floor actually opened on its own. Although there was no light or even the shadow of any ghost inside, her instinct told her that something terrible had been released.

Fortunately, the footsteps were not coming towards him, but running downstairs, which direction was the restaurant.

Not only that, she even heard the sound of some pianos, and these strange phenomena pointed in the direction of the restaurant.

"It's the cursed piano."

Lin Xian also heard this sound, but fortunately the music was far away from his floor and the sound was intermittent. Otherwise, once the entire song was listened to, everyone who heard it would die in an instant.

This is a fatal attack on consciousness. Even with the protection of a music box, it can temporarily lose any consciousness.

Lin Xian did not try to repair the wooden door in the room. Even if such a damaged thing is repaired, it will be difficult to exert its original function. It may even be no different from an ordinary wooden door, but it is not as practical as the one made by one's own hands.

He wanted to take a peek at the restaurant on the second floor. He remembered that this restaurant was a place specifically for ghosts to eat. As for the source of the food, no one knew what it was. It might just be some cannibalistic ghosts, but it might also be something else.

There are certain risks in doing this. Not to mention being attacked by ghosts, the piano curse alone is a big trouble.

"Xia Yu, what's the farthest distance your ghost line can control?"

Lin Xian suddenly asked this question, and he thought of a more reliable plan.

Xia Yu made a rough estimate and then said: "When it comes to controlling ghosts, about 100 meters was the limit before, but judging from the current situation where ghosts are crashing, one kilometer should be no problem."

"Ten times? But it should be enough."

Lin Xian took out a mirror from the Blood Gate and handed it to Xia Yu.

"I will give you a ghost later, and you are responsible for using the ghost wire to control it to hold this mirror. I want to see what is going on in the restaurant."

After saying that, he used his ghost hands to grab a child covered in blue and gray from the ghost mirror. He was worried that Xia Yu would not be able to perfectly control the higher-stage ghost babies, so he only took out a second-stage ghost baby. infant.

"Control this ghost baby?"

Xia Yu opened his hand, and then some black lines poured into the ghost's body. Lin Xian tentatively let go of his hand. When he saw that the ghost baby didn't respond, he handed it over to Xia Yu with peace of mind.

The supernatural power of the ghost thread kept the ghost in a stalemate, but under Xia Yu's guidance, the ghost finally picked up a mirror as tall as a human.

The tiny second-order ghost baby is like a child. It is holding a mirror that is nearly two meters long. However, such a thin figure does not appear to be shaky, but is much calmer.

See here.

Lin Xian tore open the blood door connecting the restaurant. He wanted the second-stage ghost baby to enter the restaurant with a ghost mirror. Ghosts cannot be killed, so finding a scapegoat to gather information was the most suitable plan.

Immediately afterwards, he took out a similar model mirror and placed it on the wall of the room, and then waited quietly until a different picture appeared in the ghost mirror.

Lin Xian established a connection between mirrors. He could see everything that happened in front of the first mirror from the second mirror. This phenomenon was similar to when he used the ghost mirror to see every place in the world. The scene outside the mirror is the same.

With the departure of the second-stage ghost baby, Lin Xian and Xia Yu looked in the mirror and watched TV.

In the picture, the ghost baby is walking on the brightly lit aisle holding a mirror. It steps on the red carpet, leaving small footprints.

There are no other rooms on the entire second floor. The entire aisle only leads to one place, and that is the restaurant.

On the way to the restaurant, there were not only ghost babies walking, because there were also weird-looking ghosts under the mirror.

Some have lost their hands, some have lost their legs and feet. Their bodies are almost all mutilated, as if all the supernatural beings on their bodies have been dismembered, but even so, it does not prevent them from opening the door of the restaurant.

The weird music continued to play, but Lin Xian was not affected because the ghost mirror blocked the perception of the sound.soon.

The ghost boy walked to the door of the restaurant. The door was a sliding door made of glass. I don't know if the glass itself was blurry, but from the perspective of the ghost mirror, it was blurry, as if it was specially made to prevent people from peeking outside.

But fortunately, the door of the restaurant is still open at this moment. At a glance, you can see many empty tables inside, and the tablecloths of these tables are all white, like the color used to commemorate the dead. There are even With plates, flowers, and knives and forks.

These things are all brand new, and there is no dust on them, but there are some weird-looking ghosts sitting around them.

Xia Yu controlled the ghost baby to sit on an empty dining table, waiting to eat like most ghosts.

From Ghost Mirror's perspective, a strange piano was placed in the corner of the restaurant. This thing originally existed in Room 71, but now it appears here.

It's not that someone moved it out, but because it is different from the real hotel, many things and locations have changed.

There were a total of six ghosts sitting around Gui Ying's dining table. If Gui Ying was included, there were seven ghosts.

As the saying goes, nine are eaten at a birthday banquet, eight are eaten at a wedding banquet, and seven are eaten at a funeral banquet. The so-called seven seats correspond to the seven ghosts at the table. Looking at the empty plates on the table, the number is exactly seven.

Seeing this, Lin Xian's face couldn't help but become serious. It was obviously abnormal for the restaurant to prepare a funeral meal at this time. There was no way to have a meal in the early morning.

Moreover, it seemed that this kind of funeral meal was specially chosen to be eaten when Lin Xian arrived. Could it be because of Li Qingzhi's death?

The ancient house in Zhangdong was buried in seven days, and hundreds of ghosts saw off. Now I'm afraid it's not the rhythm of Li Qingzhi's burial in the hotel, and the ghosts feasting.

If this is the case, then this letter delivery may not be quite dangerous.

However, while Lin Xian was deep in thought, Xia Yu revealed some bad news.

The ghost baby is out of control.

Lin Xian re-examined the details in the ghost mirror. He found that not only the ghost baby, but also the other ghosts showed no signs of action. It was as if they were all nailed to the seats and in a state of complete suppression.

And outside the room they were in, noisy and trivial footsteps began to be heard. All the rooms on the entire floor were opened at the same time, not only on their own floor, but even upstairs.

It seemed that all the evil spirits in the hotel were released at this moment, and judging from the sounds, they were all heading towards the restaurant, as if they were designated to have a funeral meal.

He couldn't help but look at the corridor outside, and found that the tall man's body that had left room 401 had also moved towards the restaurant at this time.

However, there are so many evil ghosts that it is impossible for the restaurant to accommodate them. So under such circumstances, what will happen to the evil ghosts trapped outside?Go in and grab a seat or wait for the next round of banquet?

No way to know.

But Lin Xian knew that it was absolutely abnormal when all the evil ghosts in the hotel were out in force.

He glanced at the ghost mirror in the room. The situation in the direction connected to the ghost baby had not changed much. Except for some unknown signs outside the restaurant, the entire interior seemed to be frozen in time.

But just when both of them looked confused, a frightening cry suddenly came from a room on their floor, followed by a burst of rapid footsteps running in their direction. Come.

When passing by Room 401, Lin Xian saw a man in a suit running towards the end of the darkness in a panic.

"A living person?"

Lin Xian narrowed his eyes, grabbed the man's neck with his ghost hands, and dragged him into the room.

This man seemed to have been overly frightened, and had even accepted his own death, and no longer struggled.

"Tell me what happened outside."

Lin Xian's cold voice came, making the man in a suit a little stunned for a moment.

"Live, live?"

The man in the suit was also surprised, but he reacted immediately. He just talked to himself hesitantly.

"Everyone who enters the room will die. They have to escape from here. They can't stay in the room. They can't stay in the room."

His soliloquy confused Lin Xian and the two for a moment, and then the ghost hand belonging to Lin Xian tightened its grip a little harder. He asked, "Why can't you stay in the room?"

The man in the suit pointed to the rooms across the corridor that lit up and then went out quickly and said: "All the rooms are turning off the lights. Anything hiding in the light-off room will die. The ghosts will fall asleep directly, and the people will die directly."

"People will die directly?"

Lin Xian didn't remember that there was such a rule in the hotel, so he asked, "What's your name?"

"Zhu Mian."

The man in the suit slapped Lin Xian's bone-like palms. He seemed to be suffocating. Faced with these weird and strange things in front of him, he thought that Lin Xian and the two were also the surviving people in this place.

"Zhu Jian? It seems that he is also a person affected by the curse."

Lin Xian seemed to remember such a person, and then he asked again: "How do you know that people will die in a room with lights out?"

"I can't explain that much. If you want to stay in the room, don't take me with you. I don't want to die here."

Zhu Jian took out a handful of ashes from his pocket and sprinkled it directly on Lin Xian's ghost hand. This sudden and strange ability made Lin Xian's hand lose strength. Zhu Jian broke free immediately without looking back. Ran out of the room.

Xia Yu wanted to use ghost wire to restrain this person, but was stopped by Lin Xian.

"He won't survive. There are more dangers outside."

"But, aren't you worried that what he said is true? I can use the ghost line to restrain him. If he reveals a sense of crisis, then it can confirm what he said."

Xia Yu, however, has her own ideas.

But Lin Xian just raised his finger and pointed at the chandelier above his head. When Xia Yu looked up, his eyes suddenly shrank.

The chandelier gave off an unstable light source that was dimming rapidly and seemed to be extinguished soon.

"Get out of here first."

Lin Xian didn't hesitate at all and directly used Ghost Domain to take Xia Yu and Gui Jing out of the room.

Following the direction Zhu Jian pointed, he saw rows of doors with the lights turned off, and before that, the ghosts that were originally in the room had already left the room before the lights were turned off.

Comparing what this man just said, everything seems to have come true.

However, the moment they left the room, the door behind them plunged directly into endless darkness.

If there are 100 rooms on the first floor, then the order of turning off the lights in all rooms will be from No. 499 to Room No. 401.

And when all the rooms turned off the lights, the lights in the entire corridor began to flicker.

It seemed like the lights on the walkway were going out too.

First the rooms, then the corridors, and finally probably the entire hotel.

"We can't stay on this floor any longer. If we wait until all the lights go out, I'm afraid we will really fall here."

Lin Xian tried to spread the ghost realm to the entire hotel, but the supernatural power was blocked. The most he could do was spread the ghost realm to the entire fourth floor, leaving other floors unreachable.

"No, if all the evil ghosts are driven out, where will these things go?"

Subconsciously, he thought of the restaurant he just saw.

The ghosts in the entire hotel are heading towards the restaurant, which means that only the direction of the restaurant is the safest place.

At the moment, he didn't care about too much hesitation, and directly tore open a door leading to the second floor, and plunged in with Xia Yu.

And just a few seconds after the Blood Gate disappeared, the entire corridor fell into deathly silence and darkness.
