Mysterious Recovery: Starting at Caesars Hotel

Chapter 12 Attack and Loss of Control

In room 38.

Xianglan and Chu Nan stood next to the stove, seeming to be waiting for something.

When the door opened, Xianglan looked back and turned her head again when she realized that it wasn't a ghost breaking into the room.

"Anan?"

Liang Tian's pupils shrank, and he immediately tested Chu Nan after seeing him.

Is it a ghost disguised as a living person, or is it the real Chu Nan?

Chu Nan looked over, with a confused look on his face, and hurriedly asked: "Do you know me? Then do you know where this place is? And why do I appear here?"

"You don't even remember?"

Liang Tian's eyes were solemn. He stared at the other person's face seriously, trying to detect signs of lying.

Chu Nan looked disappointed and said with some hesitation: "I met Xianglan when I came out of the room and followed her all the time. She also said that I lost my memory. Maybe I really forgot something."

However, the fire suddenly became a little restless at this time.

The ghost guarding the stove also moved at this time and attacked Liang Tian who broke into the room.

The gray-white, cracked body twisted like a strange flame, leaving a pair of charred footprints on the floor with every step it took.

The eerie fire light shrouded at this moment, making people feel a strong sense of discomfort.

"I almost forgot about it."

Liang Tian reacted immediately, reached out and took out a bone from his pocket, and threw it into the burning furnace. The fire was stained with human bones, clinging to them like maggots attached to the bones.

A jingle.

The bones made a crisp sound when they hit the furnace wall, and fell into the violently beating fire.

The next second, not only did the weird fire light recede, but even the outline of the ghost disappeared in the fire light.

The attack was terminated.

This bone from Room 104 has terrifying supernatural powers and cannot be burned so easily.

So in the next action, the ghost will not attack him.

However, Pandan, who had been waiting nearby, moved. She quickly reached into the stove and successfully pulled out a handful of gray-white powder.

Liang Tian frowned, but this was not the time to take advantage. Before the ghost appeared, he quickly approached the stove and took a handful of ashes from it.

What was burned in the fire was the supernatural body. He was still just an ordinary person, and the damage he suffered was not great. He only felt a slight sting on his skin.

"Here you go, put the ashes in it." Xianglan's voice was cold and she threw out a wooden box in her hand.

Liang Tian didn't say anything. After taking the urn, he stole some more ashes. He didn't retreat in time until the shadow under the stove twisted and the ghost guarding the stove was about to appear.

"You... actually smeared the ashes on your body."

After doing these things, he stared at Pandan's two arms exposed outside her clothes and found that they were coated with a layer of gray-white powder.

Not only that, Pandan's physical condition was also very wrong.

The cuffs of the cheongsam were constantly squirming, as if something was trying to get out of it, but it was restrained by the nearby ashes.

Xianglan said with a cold face: "External application of ashes can prevent the ghost from reviving, but the effect will not last long."

After saying that, she called Chu Nan and walked towards the door.

Because the shadow under the stove was twisting and deforming, gradually taking on the outline of a human figure. A piece of bone obviously couldn't calm the evil spirit for long, and it was about to revive again.

"We haven't seen each other for a long time, and Xianglan has become a ghost controller. Moreover, supernatural ashes can be used in this way?"

Liang Tian looked at the urn in his hand in surprise, thinking of a similar supernatural prop.

It is a kind of Chinese medicine that can cure the resuscitation of evil ghosts. Taking the traditional Chinese medicine can greatly delay the recovery of evil ghosts. Although the effect of external application of ashes is far less than that of internal administration of traditional Chinese medicine, the side effects are not as severe as those of traditional Chinese medicine.

Now is not the time to think about such things.

Liang Tian looked solemnly, looking at the ghost who was about to complete his recovery, and without hesitation, he turned around and walked out of the room with the urn in hand.

only.

As soon as he came to the corridor, the scene in front of him immediately stunned him.

Xianglan and Chu Nan also stayed in the corridor. They seemed to be forced to stop here by something, and they did not dare to make any move.

Liang Tian stood at the door, staring at the figure standing at the intersection, his face became a little stiff.

It was a woman holding a child.

The mother and son seemed to have stepped out of a portrait. They had no trace of life, and their skin color was terrifying. The woman's skin color was black, while the child's was pale white.

The mother and son were wandering nearby, and seemed to have discovered a living person, so they began to wander towards this direction.

Wherever he passed, the bright wall lamps in the corridor went out one after another.

"run."

After confirming that she was being targeted by a ghost, Xianglan opened her eyes wide and used her supernatural power without hesitation, pulling Chu Nan beside her and running towards the depths of the corridor.

A ghost that can put out wall lamps is definitely not something she can handle.

Moreover, the information she obtained did not contain the memory of these two ghosts. It is possible that she had encountered them before but failed to survive, so she could not leave any information.

Liang Tian was also on the run, but his movements were a step slower.

It wasn't that his reaction was slow, but that he didn't control the supernatural power, so his speed was much slower than the two of them.

In just a few seconds, Xianglan and Chu Nan, who were in front of them just now, had disappeared.

He was left behind again and became the victim of attracting evil spirits.

As the mother and son approached, the sconces on the wall were extinguished one by one, completely plunging the already dark and narrow corridor into darkness.

At the same time, Liang Tian was also trapped in the darkness and lost his way forward.

In the quiet environment, the sound of light and heavy footsteps lingered in the darkness, from far to near.

Liang Tian ran around in the dark for a while and found that he was still trapped in the corridor. His face became even more ugly: "I'm trapped in a ghost."

Not only that, but he also found that after the wall lamp in the corridor was extinguished, the doors could not be opened. It was as if even the residents were taboo about the mother and child in the corridor, and no one dared to come to the corridor at this time.

He couldn't outrun the evil spirit, so he stopped trying to escape.

He directly opened the urn in his arms, reached out and took out a handful of ashes, ready to scatter them at any time.

But he understood that the ashes could only save his life and temporarily hinder the attack of the ghosts, but could not help him escape from the ghosts.

Therefore, he took out the scroll hidden under his clothes. "Chen Yuanyuan, can you hear me? I am being attacked by a ghost. If possible, I hope you can help me."

Liang Tian tried to lower his voice as much as possible, wary of the darkness around him, worried that ghosts would discover his location because of the sound of his voice.

However, in the darkness, he couldn't see clearly everything in the painting, and he didn't know whether Chen Yuanyuan was willing to help him.

at this time.

"Ta Tata..."

In the dark corridor, the echoes of light and heavy footsteps changed, and the light footsteps mysteriously disappeared.

Liang Tian's heart trembled, and he suddenly felt like a disaster was imminent: "The mother and son are separated."

The next second, a strange music came from the darkness.

Like a lullaby, it sounds eerie and permeating.

Liang Tian trembled when he heard this weird music, holding the ashes tightly, ready to throw them out at any time.

But there was no ghost figure in front of him, and there was no target.

Suddenly.

Under the influence of this lullaby, his consciousness became blurred, and his body was crumbling, gradually losing control.

An extremely strong feeling of sleepiness appeared in his consciousness, which was difficult to resist.

"It could be a curse that prevents you from waking up when you fall asleep."

Liang Tian struggled desperately, but to no avail.

Even the simplest supernatural attack is difficult for ordinary people to resist.

Just when his consciousness was about to fall into darkness.

"Swish, swish, swish... in three days, we will die in a hanging."

A hoarse voice sounded in his ears, interrupting another curse and forcibly bringing his consciousness back.

At the critical moment, the curse of death appeared and blocked the fatal consciousness attack for him.

"I almost died."

Liang Tian felt that his back was wet with cold sweat, and he felt like he was exhausted.

But the next moment, there was a certain palpitating feeling in my heart.

There was a cold feeling in his palm, as if he was holding a piece of ice.

A pale child came to him, raised his strange blue hand, and held his palm.

Being held by the hand, he immediately lost control of his body.

The muscles are extremely stiff and cannot move at all. Even the blood in the blood vessels has stopped, the heart has stopped, and even the brain cannot function.

The attack of the second ghost came.

One attacks the consciousness, the other attacks the body.

This pair of mother and son ghosts teamed up, and the level of terror was simply unbelievable.

At this moment, not even the curse of meeting death can help him block another supernatural attack while fighting Lullaby.

"boom……"

Liang Tian seemed to be frozen. The urn in his arms fell out of control, making a collision with the ground. The box tilted and the ashes spilled out.

at the same time.

A painting also fell down and slowly unfolded as it rolled.

The painting is a monotonous black and white world, with a young girl emerging from the rushing black river.

The girl's dark, pupil-less eyes penetrated directly through the scroll and looked at the pale child outside the scroll.

Then, the girl's figure slowly disappeared from the painting, and instead, the outline of a pale child was outlined in the painting, and fell into the dark river, and was soon submerged by the river water.

corresponding to this.

The pale child had some strange changes, as if it had been taken away.

The strange child's eyes, which were originally all white, now turned into a pair of pupils as dark as ink. As if he had become conscious, he let go of Liang Tian's hand.

The situation suddenly reversed.

"I'm alive."

Liang Tian's eyes regained their vitality, as if he had woken up from a nightmare, gasping for air, and a strong feeling of powerlessness grew in his heart.

Ordinary people are so powerless in the face of supernatural beings. If the death curse and Chen Yuanyuan hadn't helped him, I'm afraid he would be dead now and start to resurrect in Room 401.

As the tables turned, the sconces on the wall came back on.

It seemed that because of the presence of light, the terrifying woman who walked out of the portrait could no longer see Liang Tian's existence.

After losing its target, the ghost slowly left deep into the corridor.

Just when Liang Tian breathed a sigh of relief.

The pale child controlled by the girl pointed to the scroll spread out on the floor. The dark color in his eyes was dimming and fading, as if the remaining thoughts were drifting away: "Liang Tian, ​​Guihe is reviving, you have to move faster. , there’s not much time left for you.”

The black and white scroll was seeping, and a pool of dark water formed on the ground, but the ashes sprinkled on the floor stopped the water from spreading.

"The supernatural is getting out of control."

Liang Tian realized this, quickly calmed down, and asked in a low voice: "Your condition is not normal, what's wrong with you?"

"As the consciousness residing in the ghost, leaving the scroll voluntarily means leaving the supernatural. Without my presence, Guihe has a chance to recover, and I will slowly disappear without the support of the supernatural. Just like the tombstone curse you suffered. , you will die if you leave the sphere of influence.”

The girl's mood was calm, and she changed her voice: "I sensed Li Qingzhi's body. It is wandering near Room 1. Bring the scroll to find him. People like you shouldn't die so quickly."

After saying that, she showed a rare smile and walked deeper into the corridor without looking back.

"Unexpectedly, I tried every possible means to escape from here, but finally came back. Maybe, this is fate,"

The sound became farther and farther away, gradually becoming indistinct.

"Thank you."

Liang Tian's eyes flickered as he watched the girl disappear deep into the corridor. He picked up the scroll on the ground and resolutely turned around and rushed towards Room 1.
