Volume 2: Ghost Invitation Chapter 0044 The truth is getting closer
Li Shuai stood there like a demon god. As black and white alternated, Xiao Mo saw his arm which was completely black. That arm could never be human!
Is Li Shuai a ghost?
This thought just flashed through Xiao Mo's mind. In fact, he didn't have time to think about it. What he had to do now was to calm down as soon as possible and then quickly escape from here.
Xiao Mo did exactly that. His strong psychological quality came into play at this time. He shook his head vigorously and then desperately ran towards the door.
However... the ghost in front of him suddenly disappeared! Then came the unexpected visit of Zhang Tianyi and the Decaying Mage.
The two stood outside the bathroom, their faces were indescribably solemn. The corrupt mage was mumbling something, and during the process, he pasted a lot of yellow paper with light red runes on the bathroom door. As for Zhang Tianyi, his eyes never left Li Shuai.
Xiao Mo ignored the three people's different actions, but he knew that these people were here to help him, so he just had to run away as soon as possible, and he could ask the rest in detail after he got out.
"Faster! Faster!!!"
The Decaying Mage shouted anxiously, and Li Shuai had already turned around and retreated. In the end, Xiao Mo and Li Shuai escaped safely. At the moment when they completely escaped, the Decaying Mage fiercely closed the bathroom door, and the flickering lights in the room immediately returned to normal.
Xiao Mo collapsed on the ground, as if all the strength in his body had been drained away, and even breathing was difficult for him.
“It’s gone .”
Zhang Tianyi stood outside the bathroom door and slowly uttered these words. There was no nervousness in his tone.
"Shit, that thing just hit me!"
Li Shuai covered his abdomen, the sticky blood had dyed the clothes there red, and at this moment he was cursing with gritted teeth.
Xiao Mo calmed his pounding heart, stood up and looked at Zhang Tianyi and the others, then he asked uncertainly:
"It's gone? I survived this incident?"
"It's only gone temporarily, and your situation is still dangerous because it could come back at any time."
Zhang Tianyi gave an affirmative answer, which undoubtedly poured cold water on Xiao Mo. He was able to escape once by luck, so could he escape a second time?
"How did you appear here? The door is obviously not open, and I didn't see you just now."
"We learned what happened here from the surveillance video, so we rushed over immediately. As for how we got in, you should ask him. He opened the door and let us in."
The one who answered was the Corruption Mage. His eyes were always on Li Shuai while he spoke. It seemed that he was also confused.
Seeing that the three of them were looking at him, Li Shuai covered the wound on his abdomen and said proudly:
"Do you all think I was so cool just now? You all admire me so much and even have an urge to worship me?"
Xiao Mo and the other two stared at Li Shuai intently, their eyes were like looking at an idiot, and there was no change in their expressions. Li Shuai might also feel embarrassed, and immediately became normal:
"I am a person with special abilities. I can cause substantial damage to those ghosts and break the restraints of some supernatural powers. In general... By the way, don't you think my posture just now is cool? Uh... even a little bit is fine..."
No one responded to Li Shuai's words, unless that person was also a lunatic. If Xiao Mo had not seen it with his own eyes and experienced it personally, he would never believe that there were such weird people in the world.
But it is really amazing that Li Shuai can be so narcissistic.
No one wanted to pay attention to him, so Li Shuai went to the side by himself, apparently to find gauze to bandage the wound. Xiao Mo was still half-sitting on the ground, listening to Zhang Tianyi's questions.
"You just pointed the mirror at it? And it didn't work? Didn't work at all?"
"Just as you said, I thought the mirror could absorb it. Alas."
"It can be seen that this time its target is you, and Li Shuai is the last one."
When the ghost found Xiao Mo, Li Shuai was sleeping soundly on the bed. He didn't wake up until Xiao Mo knocked on the door. Then he hid aside and observed the development of the situation. When Xiao Mo fled into the bathroom and the ghost followed him in, Li Shuai opened the door of the room and made the decision to help Xiao Mo. Then the previous scene happened.
Whether Li Shuai was normal or not was another matter, but Xiao Mo was very grateful to him. After all, without Li Shuai's help, he might have been torn to pieces by the ghost. Even so, he would not show anything, because he would repay him if he had the chance in the future.
Let's put this aside for now. Xiao Mo was confused as to why the ghost left. It had the opportunity to get rid of him. Xiao Mo's expression had already exposed his problem, so before he could speak, the Decaying Mage had already given his answer:
"Generally speaking, ghosts won't choose crowded places to kill. Besides, my spells also have a certain effect in exorcising ghosts."
After the corrupt mage finished speaking, Zhang Tianyi took over the topic and said:
"I think Lao Gao should have told you that we are not completely helpless against ghosts. Otherwise, we would have no chance of getting the key."
Xiao Mo nodded in understanding. After all, he had seen a lot of mysterious things and his original worldview had long been shattered, so there was nothing unacceptable about these things. He just needed a little time to adapt.
"Can you kill it, then?"
This is the question that Xiao Mo is concerned about. He hopes to get a positive answer, but...
"You don't have to think about that. Ghosts are absolutely impossible to kill. It's already pretty good that we can barely control them."
Hearing this, Xiao Mo's heart tightened:
"Doesn't that mean the ghost will attack me again?"
"That's right. In my opinion, the ghost didn't intend to kill you this time, because it hasn't tortured you enough. Don't forget that you are an escapee, the one the ghost wants to torture and kill the most. This is just an appetizer before despair, and the real cruelty is behind."
Xiao Mo didn't dare to think back to how powerless he felt when facing the ghost. It was an indescribable despair, and he didn't have the slightest thought of resistance.
"Didn't you think of a solution?"
"There is no way. At least I can't think of it."
Zhang Tianyi didn't give Xiao Mo any hope. Just as he had shown before, this trouble was Xiao Mo's, not his.
Xiao Mo smiled bitterly and nodded. He no longer thought of counting on Zhang Tianyi. At this moment, he suddenly had a key question. He hurriedly asked:
"Do you have Cui Shuyuan's phone?"
"Why do you ask about this?"
Xiao Mo was too lazy to explain, so he just said:
“It’s just curiosity!”
Zhang Tianyi didn't ask any more questions and answered:
"Cui Shuyuan's phone also disappeared . According to Lao Gao, he had just handed the phone to the lobby staff and it disappeared the next second."
"In other words, Cui Shuyuan's phone disappeared before he was killed?"
Zhang Tianyi was slightly startled, looked at Xiao Mo and said:
"You can say that."
After hearing this, Xiao Mo thought for a short while and then asked:
"So does that mean that before all the victims die, their phones will disappear? Hmm... let's put it this way, does the ghost take away the victims' phones before killing them?"
"this……"
Zhang Tianyi was stunned by the question. Among the dead, he could confirm that only Cui Shuyuan was dead. But the hypothesis proposed by Xiao Mo was also very likely. After all, they did not monitor the previous dead, so it was hard to say whether it was true.
After Xiao Mo's reminder, Zhang Tianyi seemed to have thought of something, but he just opened his mouth and didn't say it.
Xiao Mo did not ask any more questions. He took out his own mobile phone from his pocket. Fortunately, the phone did not disappear.
Looking at the phone in his hand, Xiao Mo could clearly feel that he was getting closer to the truth.
