Chapter 304: Hard Thinking
Chapter 304: Hard Thinking
I don’t know where it started. When I encounter trouble, I go to Bai Yanliang and leave the problem to him to solve. This has become the subconscious behavior of most people in Wuji.
Even Xu Zhifei is no exception.
When she read the script of the first act, the first thing that came to her mind was Bai Yanliang.
But...Bai Yanliang is a human being after all, and he is also incapable of protecting everyone at any time and at any time.
What's more, Bai Yanliang's own predicament is no simpler than anyone who encounters a ghost.
A childhood personality was born in his body, although Bai Yanliang once said that he must believe in that child.
But in Xu Zhifei's understanding, his mood when he said that sentence should be more of helplessness.
Therefore, while Xu Zhifei was running for his life, he began to think of ways to rescue Qi Nian.
Although there was an extremely terrifying ghost chasing behind him, Xu Zhifei had no other choice now.
She took another quick look at the script for the first act.
Qi Nian and Bai Yanliang will encounter a monster called the haunting ghost in the basement.
That monster... seems to be related to oaths, promises, agreements, and worries.
When describing Qi Nian's death, the script used the term Qi Nian to break his oath.
In other words...Qi Nian promised the monster something.
Maybe she agreed under the strange power of the script, maybe...she actually said it herself.
This also reflects the horror of the script. Most of its choices will fit that person's character. Even if they don't fit well, it will be difficult to notice under the cover of the terrifying atmosphere.
In this way, it would be difficult even for him to notice that he had done something strange.
Unlike before entering the villa, you can find out immediately when you can't control your body and language.
After all, everyone’s perspective is observing others, and the object of observation is not themselves.
Maybe in other people's eyes, Xu Zhifei also behaved very abnormally, but she couldn't detect it.
Xu Zhifei kept walking and walked deeper into the villa.
Although this ridiculously large villa was illuminated very brightly, the majestic heavy rain and the shrill lightning and thunder still brought huge psychological pressure to people.
Not to mention, Xu Zhifei clearly knew that he was being targeted by a lanky evil spirit.
The A4 paper was full and the plot stopped appearing. Therefore, Xu Zhifei only saw the beginning of his plot.
So... are the A4 papers with plots like the second act, the third act, even the fourth act, the fifth act... etc. distributed in other locations in this scary villa?
It would definitely be a huge help if we could find those plots before they happen.
But...the appearance of this A4 paper recording the plot of the first act is really strange.
There was only one piece of A4 paper on the wooden table, but Ouyang Kang suddenly discovered it...
wrong!
Xu Zhifei suddenly thought... That A4 paper also suddenly appeared!
Except for the four of them, the other five people entered the hall early. There was no reason why they couldn't see such an obvious piece of paper.
This A4 paper recording the plot of the first act has not been found before because it does not exist at all!
But... why did it appear suddenly?
Xu Zhifei was distracted, frowning and thinking hard.
She realized that as long as she figured out the reason for the appearance of this A4 paper, she would have a great chance of finding the remaining papers recording the plot.
Finally... synthesize the complete script.
At this moment, Xu Zhifei suddenly felt awkward in his heart.
No...what are you thinking about now?
The most important thing now is to save Qi Nian first... Why does the train of thought extend in other directions?
Xu Zhifei felt something strange. She composed herself, forcibly interrupted her thoughts, and focused on Qi Nian.
The script for the first act states the specific reason for Qi Nian's death, as well as the specific location. Therefore, the best way to save her is to let her miss the haunting ghost from the beginning.
However... judging from the time, Qi Nian has probably triggered the curse of the haunting ghost now.
He had to change his mind. Xu Zhifei's breathing was a little rapid.
While paying attention to the movement behind her, she was looking for the exit of the dungeon, and at the same time she had to think of a way.
Although this is not impossible, under mental stress, this will quickly cause fatigue, which is often referred to as mental and physical exhaustion.
The better thing is... the lanky evil ghost hasn't caught up yet, and Xu Zhifei hasn't even seen its shadow.
Maybe... it went upstairs?
Or went in another direction?
If that's the case, that would be great.
Xu Zhifei encountered many forked paths to go upstairs, but it was impossible for her to go up now.
The exit of the dungeon is at the bottom. She must go to the exit first to find Qi Nian.
Of course, there is a better way, that is to call Qi Nian.
But what to tell her? Xu Zhifei still had no clue.
What if Qi Nian has agreed to a certain request of the haunting ghost?
Judging from what was written in the script, Qi Nian found the key, and then the script described Qi Nian breaking his oath.
Plus the basement is called a dungeon.
Xu Zhifei guessed... Qi Nian's promise should be to find the key and release the haunted ghost from the dungeon.
What would happen if Qi Nian kept his promise?
Is it safe to release a ghost with my own hands...?
impossible!
Never let it out!
The difficulty of this matter was far beyond Xu Zhifei's imagination.
If you keep the promise, you will most likely die if you let it out. If you break the promise, if you don't give it the key, you will die.
What to do...
What else, is there a place to make a choice?
The choice of branches means that the future can be changed...
Got it!
There is another place to choose from!
According to the description of the first act script, Qi Nian died tragically at the exit of the dungeon.
Does that mean... stay away from the dungeon exit, even if the original script has been changed?
As long as Qi Nian is not near the dungeon exit, she will not be killed at the dungeon exit.
No...that's not possible either.
The script only wrote down the final place of Qi Nian's death, but not the process.
If the process it omits is actually the process of the haunter searching for Qi Nian in the entire villa, it means that it will be useless for Qi Nian to hide wherever he goes.
She will eventually be dragged to the dungeon exit and then killed by evil spirits.
In the end... what should we do?
Xu Zhifei's eyes moved slightly. Although she was trying hard to calm down her emotions and stay calm, every second that passed meant that Qi Nian was one minute closer to death.
This feeling of knowing how things were going but being powerless filled Xu Zhifei's heart with torment.
She stopped and rested against the corridor.
Fortunately she is safe now.
That lanky evil ghost hasn’t...
The thought "That lanky evil ghost hasn't caught up with me yet" flashed through Xu Zhifei's mind when he saw an unusually tall shadow projected on the wall at the corner he had just passed...
