Chapter 55 The Nightmare Room
After just one glance downstairs, Zhou Tangjie, who was afraid of heights, felt his legs become weak and took several steps back.
I retreated to the room in horror, closed the window tightly, and then breathed heavily.
"What's going on? Why are you so evil?"
In disbelief, Zhou Tangjie picked up the chair in the room again and threw it at the door.
Even though the tiger's mouth hurt and he was sweating profusely, there was still no sign of damage to the door.
And at this time, the temperature in the room is already so high that it makes people collapse.
It was like a steamer that took his breath away.
Fortunately, there is a copper basin in the house, which is filled with clean water. It was originally used for guests to clean their hands.
Zhou Tangjie hurriedly went up and washed his face with water, trying to cool himself down.
But as soon as he touched the copper basin, he saw that the basin seemed to be bounced away by something.
The whole head was smashed towards him.
Not only was his head hit hard.
My whole body was soaked by the basin of water.
Although his body was wet, he was extremely embarrassed.
But the body temperature finally dropped a bit.
Made Zhou Tangjie feel a little cool and comfortable.
But this feeling did not last long at all. It was as hot as the scorching sun just a moment ago.
At this time, the temperature dropped sharply, like entering an iceberg.
His whole body was quickly covered with ice stubble. He was shivering from the cold and shivering all over.
Zhou Tangjie had no choice but to put on his clothes in a hurry, and then wrapped himself in the thin quilt on the bed, trying to retain a trace of warmth.
But at this time, the temperature in the room kept plummeting, and Zhou Tangjie even felt like every breath he took was like a knife.
It hurts both internally and externally. It is very uncomfortable.
"No, we must escape from this ghost place quickly, otherwise we will be tortured to death."
Shivering all over, Zhou Tangjie stood up in a hurry, forced himself to come to the house, and tried his best to Use various objects in the house to try to open a gap.
But just as he was struggling to smash the window, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.
Looking back subconsciously, I saw a terrifying female ghost who had died unexpectedly and had scars and burns all over her body. She rolled her eyes and rushed toward him.
Zhou Tangjie screamed in fright, his legs slipped and he fell to the ground.
But the female ghost passed through her body and disappeared in the next moment.
It was as if everything just happened was just his hallucination and dream.
"Is this a strange place?"
It's not that Zhou Tangjie has never heard of "weird", but they are essentially limited by simple and crude rules.
Never before was he so overwhelmed by all kinds of evil and bizarre things in this room that he couldn't even see the slightest hope of leaving.
Just when Zhou Tangjie was extremely desperate, he threw everything he had on hand around to vent his powerlessness.
But I heard that there seemed to be a corner on the wall, and there was a strong echo after being hit by something.
"Huh?"
Zhou Tangjie suddenly seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and hurriedly came to the wall.
Left knock, right knock.
Finally I found a square empty wall about a few feet long.
It seems to be a hollow structure inside.
"This must be the secret passage of the agency!"
Zhou Tangjie hurriedly picked up all the objects he saw on the ground and smashed them against the hollow wall.
After several attempts, a hole was finally broken in the hollow wall, revealing the objects inside.
It was a small storage table, and there seemed to be a small hourglass and a piece of paper inside.
Although it was difficult to conceal his disappointment, Zhou Tangjie still took out the things carefully with the last bit of luck.
"This must be the way to survive in this strange situation!"
I saw eight words written in blood on the paper, 'You can't escape until the hourglass has fallen'.
Looking carefully, the small hourglass is indeed flowing with sand.
After Zhou Tangjie discovered it, nearly half of the sand inside had probably gone away. For ordinary people, it is common sense to estimate time based on the flow rate of an hourglass.
Based on the current flow rate, Zhou Tangjie estimated that it would only take another hour for the hourglass to completely drain out.
“One hour!”
Seeing the way out, Zhou Tangjie finally regained hope in his heart.
I suddenly felt that the indoor environment was no longer so cold...
The next moment, I saw a woman whose whole body was burned standing behind me.
"Ms. sir, why are you so happy?"
Zhou Tangjie responded subconsciously. Just as he was about to speak, his heart suddenly rose to his throat.
This extremely familiar voice... is clearly his first wife!
Back then, I was just a poor man. He was not as fat as he is now, but he had some good looks on his body.
As a result, when he was selling goods in the streets, he was spotted by a wealthy daughter, and the two of them went back and forth to achieve good things.
But the daughter didn't know that she had a wife at home, so she only asked Zhou Tangjie to knock in the door and enter their home as a son-in-law.
But Zhou Tangjie's wife at home is already six months pregnant. She is usually a virtuous and kind person, and is praised by her neighbors.
Even if Zhou Tangjie wanted to divorce his wife, he could not find a reason.
Although a man has the right to divorce his wife, he also needs the wife to commit the seven-step rule.
Besides, his wife is still pregnant and his parents have passed away.
If he forcibly divorces his wife, he will be reviled by everyone and criticized by thousands of people.
In serious cases, you will be reported to the government, and you will have to get a lawsuit before you can let it go.
But the pregnancy of the wealthy daughter has also been known by her brother who is the county magistrate.
If I didn’t agree quickly, what awaited me would be a hundred times more terrifying than death.
Being cornered, he drugged his meal that night.
Then he set a fire directly and burned the whole house to the ground, including his wife and the unborn child.
Alone, he also succeeded in becoming the son-in-law of the county prime minister's family. He was highly regarded and enjoyed endless wealth and glory.
At this moment he turned around and saw that the familiar voice and appearance were exactly the same as his wife.
But the figure was ferocious and terrifying, with scorch marks on its body and a high bulge in its abdomen.
"Ms. sir, why are you afraid of me? Is it not as gentle and lovely as I used to be?"
Seeing the female ghost approaching step by step, Zhou Tangjie was so frightened that he shrank towards the corner behind him.
While Zhou Tangjie was frightened by the female ghost, Xu Ke was also silently watching the changes inside the inn.
At this time, several of his domestic servants had already lost their lives.
Only this Zhou Tangjie was still being threatened in various ways in the room.
This is the result of further setting up the strange environment as the evil land is upgraded to the third level.
An additional weird sub-realm [Nightmare Room] is added to the weird realm.
In the corridor it is 'If you look back you will die'.
But this room is completely different.
There is no real danger of harming the opponent, but it is full of various illusions and rules that are absolutely inescapable.
Even the so-called hourglass was a bait specially made by Xu Ke to confuse Zhou Tangjie.
Even if the hourglass was completely drained, Zhou Tangjie would not be able to leave the room at all.
Of course, there is actually a way to escape from this strange situation. But according to Zhou Tangjie's ability and psychological quality, there is naturally no way to find a way out in this environment.
The reason for arranging this strange environment is that there is very little danger but maximum mental torture.
The purpose is to cause Zhou Tangjie to completely collapse psychologically and cast an indelible shadow on this wasteland.
When he hears the name of this wasteland and sees any disturbance, he will completely collapse and lose all reason.
Only in this way can this wasteland be regained from his hands and eliminate the possibility of others interfering in the wasteland.
