Chapter 280 Ghost
"Ah...ah..."
In the dark and narrow corridor, it was so quiet that only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard. Ning Zhe stretched out his right arm and held the lantern high. The light illuminated the pale figure standing in the corner. His lips were slightly open, and there was a burst of noise from his dry throat. There was a hoarse moan, and the whole body was shaking like chaff.
The next moment, Spencer suddenly raised his head, his flashing eyes staring directly at the blond girl who buried her face in Ning Zhe's chest and was too scared to look up, and an inhuman scream leaked from her throat.
"咿-咿——"
Bang bang, the wall next to Ning Zhe suddenly heard the sound of stone being struck with a blunt instrument, and other ghosts wandering in the castle were also attracted. Dong-dong-the dull impact sounds came one after another, each one was like a heavy hammer hitting Bai Zhi's heart, and the walls and floor buzzed and vibrated.
Ning Zhe remained unmoved and stared calmly at Spencer, who was groaning and walking towards him.
"I remember that he seemed to have been strangled to death?"
Ning Zhe recalled his memory when he was in the hall on the first floor of the castle as Cynthia. At that time, Spencer disturbed the ghosts wandering in the hall because he knocked over the candlestick. He, Ning Zhe, clearly remembered a pair of ghost hands strangled Spencer's neck, so he thought he was probably strangled to death by a ghost.
But that doesn't seem to be the case now.
Ning Zhe looked carefully and found that there were no bruises on Spencer's neck, and no obvious injuries on other parts of his body. There was only a distorted face that was as pale as paper, as if all the blood had been drained from his body.
"Huh?" Turning his eyes, Ning Zhe noticed something that he had never had the chance to observe before.
finger.
"Spencer's left hand is missing a finger, which is the little finger." Ning Zhe frowned slightly and stared at the uneven fracture on Spencer's left hand. There was no bone between the flesh and skin. His left little finger should have been broken with bare hands. To break it off by force rather than cutting it off with a sword or other sharp weapon.
He remembered that when Spencer was still alive, his left hand was still intact, so Spencer's little finger was broken off after death? Did a ghost break it off? Or did he break it off himself?
As Ning Zhe thought about it, the wall beside him shook more and more violently, shaking off bursts of dust. Spencer walked into the light and came to Ning Zhe.
It was convulsing all over and slowly stretched out its hand, and its bleeding fingertips gently touched Bai Zhi's slightly trembling back.
Phew—Ning Zhe blew out the corpse oil lamp, and the corridor fell into darkness.
The girl in Ning Zhe's arms disappeared as the lights went out. At the same time, Spencer, who had been stuck like a rusty gear, suddenly became ferocious. A pair of cold hands instantly pinched Ning Zhe's neck, heavy The force made Ning Zhe feel dizzy.
Dong-dong-the sound of beating the wall became more and more crazy. Ning Zhe reluctantly opened his mouth while being pinched by Spencer, and groaned with all his strength: "Spencer, aren't you going to protect me?"
Before he finished speaking, the force on Ning Zhe's neck suddenly loosened, and a moment later he strangled him even harder.
"I...I am Cynthia..." Ning Zhe stretched out his hand to touch Spencer's pale face and said hoarsely: "Don't you remember? Nabal, I am Cynthia, don't you want to protect me and Katyuya? You What are you doing now? ”
The woman's voice was full of tears. Two lines of tears fell from the corners of Ning Zhe's eyes in the darkness. The warm tears fell on Spencer's wrist, making him a little confused.
Seeing the right moment, Ning Zhe broke free from Spencer's hands, took out a lighter and lit the corpse oil lamp with a click. The warm light dispelled the darkness, and Bai Zhi reappeared in the corridor with a confused look on his face.
At the same time, the wall next to it suddenly cracked, and a pale and thin hand stretched out from the gap between the bricks and stones.
"Ning Zhe?" Bai Zhi turned pale with shock: "What should I do now?" "Nothing." Ning Zhe reluctantly pulled Bai Zhi with her broken left hand and pulled her closer to him. The fallen stone bricks fell on the ground with a crash. On the ground, the crack in the wall suddenly widened, and the ghost got in.
It was a white girl with long flaxen hair. She was wearing a loose down jacket. The zippered hat on the back of the collar had been taken off, and her green eyes were shining.
"That, that's..." Bai Zhi opened her eyes wide.
"That's Cynthia." Ning Zhe took Bai Zhi and took two steps back. The girl with long flaxen hair squirmed and crawled in through the crack in the wall. It was Ning Zhe's previous identity, Spencer's college classmate and pursuit object. , white girl Cynthia: "It seems that after I died in the hall, Cynthia also became one of them."
Looking at Cynthia crawling into the secret passage from the crack, Ning Zhe suddenly noticed that her pale hand, like Spencer, was missing a finger.
Spencer is missing the pinky finger of his left hand, and Cynthia is missing the pinky finger of her right hand.
Is there any connection?
Without waiting for Ning Zhe to think more, Cynthia had completely squeezed through the gap, stretched out her incomplete palm towards Bai Zhi, and crawled over with a groan. She was also killed by ghosts, and she was also ordered to "kill all living people in the castle" Driven.
But the next moment, Cynthia's footsteps suddenly stopped, and it was Spencer who grabbed her arm from behind. That was the ideological seal left by Jue Yuan. Spencer would protect Cynthia and Katyuya no matter what.
Cynthia turned back mechanically, staring at Spencer with eyes filled with hatred.
While the two ghosts were still entangled in the passage, Ning Zhe pulled up Bai Zhi and ran away. The two climbed up the stairs along the secret passage and ran all the way back to the city lord's bedroom where they started. After climbing out of the hole, they slammed the lid. After closing the lid and locking it, Ning Zhe asked Bai Zhi to sit on the bedside and walked to the corner holding the lamp to prevent her from being illuminated by the light.
Please...you...collect_6_9_书_吧 (六//九//书//吧)
"It's safe for now." Ning Zhe breathed a sigh of relief, hung the lamp on the wall, moved a chair and sat under the oil lamp.
Bai Zhi looked at the locked manhole cover, then at Ning Zhe who was sitting far away, and asked with some lingering fear: "Just...what happened? What happened?"
"The ghosts are just fighting among themselves." Ning Zhe thought for a while, and explained to Bai Zhi the rule conflict that happened to Spencer in as short a language as possible, and then said: "These dead people wandering in the castle seem to be under the influence of the same ghost. Control, but I don’t have a clue how to control it yet..."
Before he finished speaking, Ning Zhe recalled the missing fingers on Spencer's left hand, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.
"...No, maybe I already have a clue."
"Are you talking about those two ghost fingers?" Bai Zhi asked.
"That's right." Ning Zhe nodded and said, "The man is on the left and the woman is on the right... I seem to have seen this kind of ghost in a book."
Bai Zhi thought for a while and said softly: "When I read Liaozhai before, I saw a story that said that the souls of people who were eaten by tigers would turn into ghosts and deceive passers-by, causing them to be eaten by tigers too. Fall out and become ghosts together
A big tiger that has eaten many people will even gather hundreds of ghosts on the hilltop where it lives, and they will become full of resentment and become a monster. ”
"The book also said that the way to identify ghosts is to look at their fingers. Although ghosts can deceive living people, they dare not let living people look at their fingers."
Bai Zhi continued: "Because male actors don't have a little finger on their left hand, and female actors don't have a little finger on their right hand. As soon as someone sees their hands, they will be spotted."
