Chapter 504 [Domain - First Gate] 309 (3)
The rustling sound started again.
However, it was facing another room.
The paper figure was drawn by the loud noise and went to the reception room.
Time slips away, bit by bit.
Everyone was on edge, especially Huang Yue.
"This hiding place won't do..." He sighed inwardly. It was indeed too obvious, but time was short and there was no other way.
This is only the first level of the gate, which is considered the early stage of the domain. Everyone is avoiding using life-saving artifacts.
After all, that's all the cards we have. Nobody knows what we'll face next.
However, the current situation forces Huang Yue to keep a tight grip on his strange object at all times, as the paper figure appeared too suddenly and without any discernible pattern!
The rope wasn't on the ceiling, but was being dragged by the paper figure; a regular employee happened to enter the room while the paper figure was moving, and immediately died upon entering.
So once caught, there's no way to survive without using a magic item.
Does this match the difficulty level of the early stages of the domain?
Huang Yue frowned, feeling a sense of unease. The paper figures of young boys and girls seemed out of place with the first gate.
A guess suddenly popped into his mind, but this guess made his heart sink.
Inside this room...
Besides the paper figures, are there any other ghosts?
rustle.
The rustling sound rang out again.
From far to near.
The paper figure has returned.
The moment that sound rang out, everyone held their breath, but not long after...
The rustling sound moved closer to the window.
Then it abruptly ended.
The entire 309 fell into an eerie silence once again.
A moment later, the curtains were rustled open, and Feng Yao's somewhat confused voice rang out: "You can come out now."
"The paper figure... has returned to its original position."
She actually hid in the place closest to the paper figure!
Huang Yue was completely dumbfounded. Feng Yao had actually been hiding behind the curtains the whole time. How could she be so bold? Was this a case of being blind to one's own shortcomings?
He didn't go out immediately, but instead glanced at it through the cabinet door.
Sure enough, two small paper figures were hanging on the windowsill again, dangling by their necks and swaying in the air.
There was a rustling sound coming from the bathroom, and Chen Ji came out.
He didn't know where he had been hiding, and now he was covered in dust. After quickly checking the situation with the others, he went straight to the bedside.
"I'm fine." Fei'er moved with difficulty under the bed, trying to climb out: "Chen Ji, bring the little parrot back for me. It should be in the guest room on the right now."
"Was that you just now?" Chen Ji was taken aback.
"Ah."
"OK." Chen Ji didn't say much, but he roughly understood what had happened. Fei'er must have left the parrot feather there when she was checking the reception room.
During her use, she could control the parrot that the feathers transformed into, which she guessed flew to another room and made a commotion.
On the floor of the guest room on the right, Chen Ji found a feather, next to which was a small ornament that had been pushed to the ground by a bird.
After putting the feathers away, Chen Ji frowned as he looked around the room.
Obvious.
There are no leaks here.
He walked back and said into the walkie-talkie, "309 is not leaking."
"you sure?"
A few seconds later, Du Tingfeng's voice rang out.
“Yes.” Chen Ji stepped into the bedroom on the left and saw Feng Yao pulling Fei’er out.
"But we still can't get out; the door still hasn't appeared."
He had barely finished speaking when suddenly everything went black before his eyes!
It was as if the power switch had been suddenly pulled, without any warning, and the whole room was plunged into darkness.
And the green light on the walkie-talkie in my hand...
It suddenly went out.
Chen Ji felt a chill run down his spine. Unless he had suddenly gone blind, this could only prove one thing:
There's a ghost nearby!
It's not a paper doll; there's no rustling sound...
There is more than one ghost in 309.
Was that the middle-aged man with the cane? Wait, why wasn't it there before?
In the absolute darkness, Feng Yao was suddenly startled and immediately let go of her hand.
She nudged Fei'er, signaling her to hide under the bed, then swiped her phone to turn on the flashlight—
The phone felt like a brick in my hand.
There is no light.
Feng Yao broke out in a cold sweat instantly. How could a ghost control the light source!
In this sudden darkness, everyone chose to remain silent in tacit agreement; it's an instinct ingrained in human genes.
An eerie silence.
suddenly.
Feng Yao felt her hand being suddenly grabbed. The touch was icy cold, and the force was so strong that it almost broke her hand!
0.1 seconds later she realized it was Phil's hand.
Fei'er was desperately trying to climb out.
"What's going on?" Chen Ji had just found his way here and immediately pulled Fei'er out with Feng Yao, but in the next second, everyone heard a strange "clicking" sound.
It came from under the bed.
Chen Ji's heart skipped a beat.
There was no rustling sound, it wasn't a paper figure, there was a ghost in the room!
Its timing was perfectly aligned with the time when the paper doll committed its murders.
It has now burrowed under the bed.
That's why there was a clock on the windowsill to keep track of time. It wasn't a way out for those entering the realm, but rather something the ghost prepared to remind itself!
When everything came together, Chen Ji's brows furrowed suddenly, and he felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.
This ghost is the true resident of 309, and everything about it is currently unknown!
He and Feng Yao immediately dragged Fei'er out, but everything happened much faster than anyone imagined. A muffled groan was heard, and then a strong smell of blood filled the entire room!
The two grabbed Fei'er and pulled her backward.
Does she seem a little too light?
"do not move."
Fei'er hissed softly, "Chen Ji, the perfect deal... get it out for me."
"My lower leg was severed by something."
There was no light, so they couldn't see anything.
So much so that they didn't realize that the moment Phil left the bed, her knees and below were cleanly severed.
She had a high pain tolerance and barely uttered a sound. After taking the bottle, she quickly took a sip.
The injury began to heal slowly.
“When I was hiding, there was nothing under the bed, I’m pretty sure of it,” Phil said softly. “I don’t even know what broke my leg.”
"However, this ghost should have limitations."
This is obvious; otherwise, they wouldn't have had time to wait here for Fei'er to heal; they would have been killed by the ghosts long ago.
But the question is, where was that ghost hiding before?
It can only appear in the absence of light?
Chen Ji's mind raced. The ghost moved silently, so logically, they couldn't see or hear the ghost's movements, putting them at a significant disadvantage. So why hadn't the ghost made a move yet?
Its limitations...
and many more.
