Chapter 428 A Malicious Smile
The moment the door opened, it meant that the chaos had welcomed the first intruder.
The blazing flames were shining golden light in the narrow corridor.
But there was not much heat, instead, there were too many supernatural powers gathered here, and even the temperature of the entire floor was very low.
Before Ji Li's foot stepped into the real area of the fifth floor, a particularly sharp scream suddenly came into his ears.
The sound came abruptly, and the penetrating power was so strong that his whole mind was buzzing in an instant, and he couldn't help but take two steps back.
But Chen Hansheng had already controlled the shadow puppet and took the lead in stepping into the fifth floor.
The face that was pale due to the injury, the little redness that had just emerged disappeared again at this moment, but he faced the challenge.
The white-robed general in white helmet and white armor swung his spear horizontally, and it seemed that something was swept away in the invisible darkness in front.
But it only cleared one step of distance.
"Go!"
Chen Hansheng roared violently, but the tone was particularly strange.
He opened his lips but didn't let go, his teeth clenched, and he didn't dare to let out the breath in his chest.
At this point, Chen Hansheng understood that whether he could go on and go further depended on this breath.
Once he let it out, he would be out of the game with the loss of the sin object and nothing gained.
Ji Li couldn't help, so he naturally didn't say anything. He followed Chen Hansheng's footsteps and took a step forward.
This was barely considered an entry.
The ghosts in the black and white building are generally divided into two types.
The first type is similar to the hanged ghost or paper-cut ghost on the eighteenth floor. There are restrictions on their killing.
Or you can find a way to crack it through reasoning.
The second type is more difficult, similar to the ghost on the ninth floor that kills with emotions.
This kind of ghost is unreasonable. As long as it is a human, it meets the conditions for killing and there is no way to survive.
In addition to escaping, you can only rely on the sin object to resist.
For ghosts like the former, if they are top store managers, even if they don't use the sin object, they can rely on brainpower to crack.
This is also Ji Li's strength.
But for the latter, without using his trump card, Ji Li would basically have no choice but to run away if he faced any one of them.
So at this moment, with ghosts flooding on a large scale, there was no time to guess the way out.
Ji Li's wisdom was useless. He could only rely on Chen Hansheng in front and the female voice to look after him.
"Sir, there are a total of ten ghosts that appeared in front of you and Chen Hansheng.
Among them, even I could only catch a vague breath of four of them, and their power was far more powerful than the ghosts on the mission!
This is a journey of ten deaths and no life. Not to mention that Chen Hansheng was seriously injured, you are blind.
Even if you add ten times the combat power, it is impossible to break through to the end of the corridor.
Give up!"
The female voice grabbed Ji Li's arm, her tone was surprisingly horrified. As the will of the hotel, there were almost no ghosts that could scare her.
But in the corridor on the fifth floor, there were four of them.
Each one was enough to crush most of the ghosts on the missions that Ji Li had executed!
Ji Li was hesitating. He didn't have to get the puzzle, nor did he have to compete with Gu Xingjian.
But he knew that he had been tricked by Gu Xingjian long ago, and his coming here was also part of the trick.
In other words, he couldn't go on and couldn't retreat.
Then, there was only one way to save him, to break the situation head-on.
To achieve this goal, Ji Li could only rely on the gray soul in his body.
But he couldn't activate it actively unless he was really on the verge of life and death, or there was an unknown change.
Li Yi was the key person to trigger the revival of the gray soul.
When Ji Li first met him, he realized that as long as he had too much contact with Li Yi, the gray in his body would become more active.
So, he had the confidence to come to the fifth floor and try to fight Gu Xingjian head-on.
But...
Ji Li miscalculated this time, because Li Yi didn't even think about coming to the fifth floor.
Obviously, Li Yi must be in the lower four floors, and his progress has long surpassed everyone else.
By the same token, it can be inferred that Gu Xingjian's big move was not for snatching puzzle pieces at all.
He gave up the thing that everyone was fighting for, which meant that there was another thing that tempted him, even more than the puzzle.
If that was the case, Ji Li must not let him get what he wanted!
Gu Xingjian once said that Ji Li was the person he was waiting for. Whether this was a smoke bomb or not, Ji Li couldn't guess, so he could only go with the flow.
These thoughts only appeared in Ji Li's mind for a moment, and a cool breeze suddenly blew in front of him a moment later.
A fragmentary lyric poured into his ears, which seemed to have a strong temptation, and made a blurred image appear in front of the blind man.
A large screen appeared in front of him, and an ancient-style actor was waving his sleeves on the screen.
Ji Li's attention was completely attracted by that figure, as if he had forgotten where he was at the moment, and he began to deviate from Chen Hansheng's back and turn to the side and front.
Chen Hansheng couldn't see this scene, he was busy using the shadow puppet general to fight against the attack of two ghosts in front of him.
But the female voice startled her. She was in a trance for a moment before she realized that Ji Li had left the team and was walking towards an open door in front of her left.
In a hurry, she quickly put away the oil-paper umbrella in her hand and threw it hard, hitting Ji Li's back.
But this attack was not painful and failed to pull Ji Li back from his trance.
The female voice's illusory figure began to materialize at this moment, and it was obvious that she was preparing to use her real ability.
But the first person she looked at was not Ji Li who was getting farther and farther away, but Gu Xingjian who was fifteen steps away from them.
For some reason, Gu Xingjian was not affected by the ghost tide.
The female voice looked at him with a certain emotion and deep meaning that could not be known by outsiders.
Ji Li's eyes were full of the dancing figure. As he got closer and closer, he recognized that the graceful shadow should be a woman.
The woman was blurry, but she had a strong magic. As long as he saw it, he would be irresistibly attracted.
The woman in Ji Li's eyes became clearer and clearer, which also meant that he was about to step into that room in reality.
And at this moment, Ji Li's right face suddenly felt a sharp pain, and a fishy and sweet liquid entered his mouth.
This was the taste of blood. He suddenly woke up and touched his right face.
A shallow scratch appeared on his face, and blood flowed from there. A low cat cry with dissatisfaction sounded in his ears.
The civet cat returned and saved Ji Li's life again, and at the same time seemed to blame him for being so careless.
The figure of the woman stopped abruptly, and the scene in front of him returned to nothingness.
Before Ji Li could catch his breath, he found that his body was out of control.
His left arm was raised a little bit, his five fingers pinched an inexplicable gesture, and his two feet showed a strange dance.
This posture was exactly repeating the dance of the woman before.
And Ji Li clearly felt that his right hand began to rise uncontrollably, as if it touched a cold hard object.
It was the door handle.
Ji Li's heart was throbbing, he felt that the ghost was controlling his body and trying to close the door.
Although he couldn't see with his eyes, he didn't know where he was, but if he let the door close, he would be completely dead.
And at this critical moment, a familiar voice suddenly rang in his ears.
"Manager Ji, this ghost is from the seventh floor and has only appeared once.
Its method of killing is to put people in darkness first, and then play a random video.
People who have watched the video will repeat the actions of the people in the video.
I don't know if you have watched the video to the end. If you have, you should know how you will die in the end.
Promise me one condition, and I will tell you how this ghost lives?"
Even when Gu Xingjian was talking, his tone was filled with a smile that could not be dissipated.
But his smile was often accompanied by deep malice.
