Volume 2: Ghost Invitation Chapter 0043 Accident
Xiao Mo was horrified, but nodded calmly. Seeing that Xiao Mo agreed, Li Shuai let go of his hand and grabbed Xiao Mo and flipped him behind the sofa.
The lights in the room were still on, and it looked no different than usual, without any eerie shadows. But even so, Xiao Mo's heart was still beating wildly, because he was sure that the shadow that flashed by was not a mistake, as evidenced by Li Shuai's actions.
The ghost has arrived and...it's in this room!!!
Xiao Mo knew in his heart that the ghosts were deliberately let them see it, to put it bluntly, the purpose was to scare them. According to Zhang Tianyi, these ghosts enjoyed the fear that humans felt when facing the unknown.
Xiao Mo looked towards the door and suggested to Li Shuai:
"Since the ghost didn't kill us directly, it must be trying to play a trick on us. If that's the case, why don't we take this opportunity to escape?"
"I tried it but it didn't work. The door wouldn't open. Besides, do you think it wouldn't have thought of that?"
Li Shuai directly rejected Xiao Mo's proposal, then he pointed to a corner and said:
"That thing is now hidden again. I'm afraid only Zhang Tianyi can see it."
Xiao Mo did not answer, because even if they could see the ghost, it would not solve any problems, they had no way to fight against these ghosts. What they should think about now is how they can escape from this room and when the ghost will kill them.
Unable to think of a good solution, Xiao Mo had no choice but to call Zhang Tianyi. Although this method was a bit useless, it at least allowed him to know where the ghost was in the room and what it was doing at the moment.
Soon, the call was connected.
"The ghost has found us, and we are trapped in the room."
"I know all that."
Xiao Mo frowned and glanced at Li Shuai beside him, then continued to talk to the phone:
"Try to knock on the door from the outside, or ask the waiter in the lobby to get a spare key..."
"It's no use. The door won't open."
Xiao Mo's face was filled with more anger. This time he glared at Li Shuai fiercely, and then he spoke into the phone:
"Now I need to know where the ghost is and what it's doing."
"Hey? Are you listening? Say something back!"
Since the other party answered the phone, he was the only one talking from beginning to end. As for Zhang Tianyi on the other end of the phone, he did not respond at all. Instead, Li Shuai kept answering his questions like a lunatic.
"Are you listening or not? Answer me!"
There was no sound on the phone for a long time, which made Xiao Mo yell in frustration. At the same time, Li Shuai, who had just been quiet for a while, became active again. He slowly turned his head and said in a gloomy tone:
"The ghost... is right next to you!!!"
"Are you done yet? Is this the time to joke?"
Xiao Mo couldn't understand Li Shuai's behavior. He was fine before and even told him not to make it public. Why did he suddenly... Wait, is this person really Li Shuai?
This thought made Xiao Mo feel a chill in his heart, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back. When he thought about the ghost's ability to disguise himself as anyone, he became more suspicious of Li Shuai's identity.
Xiao Mo and "Li Shuai" pulled some distance apart, then he tentatively said to the phone:
"What is the ghost doing?"
When Xiao Mo asked this question, he stared at "Li Shuai" without blinking, and saw its expression suddenly become weird, and then it roared at him maliciously:
"It's here to keep you company!!!"
"ah--!"
Xiao Mo's guess was not wrong. The Li Shuai standing in front of him was a ghost in disguise! Xiao Mo screamed and desperately ran towards the door, but when he got to the door, he was shocked to find that the door could not be opened at all. Just as it had told him before, he could not escape!
It followed Xiao Mo slowly, and that familiar face was also undergoing strange changes, twisting, moving, and expanding... and finally turned into a woman with a bloated body and a rotten face!
As if to match its appearance, the originally bright lights flickered at this moment, black and white alternating, and the "hehe" laughter coming from behind became closer.
"Open the door! Is anyone there?"
Xiao Mo desperately banged on the door, but it was obvious that this effort was in vain under the influence of the ghost. The heavy door did not move at all! The footsteps of the god of death were getting closer and closer. Xiao Mo seemed to hear the sound of it pushing the door open. What should I do! What should I do!
Xiao Mo roared in despair in his heart. Suddenly, he thought of the mirror that protected him from the evil spirits in the haunted building, the mirror that followed him like a shadow. This might be his last hope, although this hope seemed extremely slim.
Previously, Xiao Mo had done an experiment at Cheng Ziliang's house. He pointed the mirror at the bathroom where there was a ghost to see if it could suck the ghost in. However, the verification failed in the end because the mirror did not seem to react. So when Lao Gao asked about it, Xiao Mo replied that mirrors were ineffective against ghosts.
But in fact, Xiao Mo didn't know whether the mirror reflected the ghost that day. After all, the ghost that day appeared in an invisible state, and the only person who could see it was Zhang Tianyi. So he was not sure in his heart whether the mirror really had no effect on ghosts.
He had no choice but to give it a try. If he didn't gamble, he wouldn't even have a chance of survival.
The glimmer of hope that aroused injected strength into Xiao Mo's tired legs. He threw the chair beside him at the ghost, and then fled into the bathroom, where he had placed the mirror.
At this moment, this mirror, which is almost as tall as a person, is flickering with a faint light. The light is like a ferocious hellhound, blinking its eyes as if it is about to spit fire, exuding an evil aura that does not belong to this world.
The ghost was not in a hurry to kill its prey. It was still following it slowly, showing no concern about the prey's search for his life-saving straw.
Xiao Mo did not give up this opportunity. As soon as he came in, he carried the mirror to the door, so that the ghostly mirror was facing the door. It can be imagined that as long as the ghost broke in, its figure would be completely reflected in the mirror in an instant.
At that time, everything will come to an end, either the ghost will be sucked into the mirror, or he will be brutally killed by the ghost.
The heavy footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Xiao Mo was almost suffocated by nervousness, hoping that it would come in but not wanting it to. After a few seconds, the ghost's footsteps stopped, and Xiao Mo held his breath at this moment, as if the world had fallen into stillness.
However, this stillness did not last long as it was broken by a loud bang. Xiao Mo stared blankly at the round mirror flying backwards in front of him, with endless fear spreading across his face.
Mirrors are useless against ghosts!
Xiao Mo had reached the critical point of collapse, and there was only a large blank in his mind. The ugly appearance of the ghost continued to magnify in his pupils, and the burning temperature in his body was rapidly dissipating. He was about to die.
"No--!"
The ghost's movements suddenly stopped , and a figure was infinitely stretched behind the ghost. Xiao Mo opened his eyes wide in disbelief, unable to describe the shock this scene brought to him.
Li Shuai stood behind the ghost, one hand tightly strangling its neck!
