Li Shuai stood there like a demon god, with black and white alternating, Xiao Mo saw that his arm was completely black, an arm that could not possibly be human!
Is Li Shuai a ghost?
This thought only flashed through Xiao Mo's mind, and in fact, he didn't have time to think wildly. What he needed to do now was to calm down as soon as possible and then quickly escape from here.
Xiao Mo did just that. His super strong psychological quality came into play at this moment. He shook his head hard and then desperately rushed towards the door.
However...the ghost in front of me suddenly disappeared! Following that were the abrupt visits of Zhang Tianyi and Mo Ran Fashi.
Two people stood outside the bathroom, their faces with an inexplicable solemnity. The Taoist priest muttered to himself, saying something incomprehensible, as he stuck many yellow papers with light red symbols on the bathroom door. As for Zhang Tianyi, his gaze had never left Li Shuai's body.
Xiao Mo didn't pay attention to the three people's different actions, but he knew they were there to help him, so as long as he could escape quickly, the rest could be asked about later.
"Faster! Faster!!!"
The rotten monk shouted anxiously, and Li Shuai had already turned his head to retreat. In the end, Xiao Mo followed Li Shuai and escaped safely. Just as they completely escaped, the rotten monk slammed shut the bathroom door, and the flickering lights in the room also returned to normal.
Xiao Mo collapsed on the ground, all his energy seemed to have been drained out of his body, even breathing felt laborious.
"It's gone."
Zhang Tianyi stood outside the bathroom door and slowly spat out these few words, his tone didn't have a hint of tension.
"Damn it, that thing just hit me!"
Li Shuai covered his abdomen, thick blood had already stained the clothes there, and he was now gritting his teeth and cursing.
Xiao Mo's heart skipped a beat as he slowly calmed down, propped himself up to look at Zhang Tian and the others, then asked uncertainly:
"Is it over? Did I survive this?"
"It's just a temporary departure, your situation is still very dangerous because it can come back at any time."
Zhang Tianyi gave a definite reply, which undoubtedly poured a bucket of cold water on Xiao Mo. He was lucky to escape once, but could he escape again?
"How did you end up here? The door was clearly locked and I didn't see you just now."
"We learned everything that happened here from the surveillance video, so we rushed over immediately. As for how they got in, you should ask him. He was the one who opened the door and let us in."
The answer was given by Monk Mian Rang. As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on Li Shuai, and it seemed that he too was puzzled.
Seeing three people looking at him, Li Shuai covered his abdominal wound and said with a proud smile:
"Don't you all think I was totally cool just now, and that you're all admiring me, with a strong urge to worship me?"
Xiao Mo and the other two stared at Li Shuai without blinking, their eyes looking at him as if he was an idiot. Their expressions didn't fluctuate in the slightest. Li Shuai probably felt awkward too, immediately becoming normal again:
"I'm an ability user, I can cause actual harm to those ghostly creatures and break some supernatural powers' restraints. To sum it up... Ah, didn't you guys think my pose just now was cool? Uh... even a little bit would be fine..."
No one would have believed Li Shuai's words unless the person was also crazy. If it hadn't been seen with his own eyes and personally experienced, Xiao Mo would rather die than believe that such a freak actually existed in the world.
But Li Shuai can self-love to this extent is really awesome.
No one was willing to bother with him, so Li Shuai went off on his own to find some gauze to bandage his wound. Xiao Mo was still half-sitting on the ground, listening to Zhang Tianyi's questioning.
"Did you just aim the mirror at it? Was the result ineffective? Did nothing happen?"
"Just as you said, I thought the mirror could suck it in. Sigh."
"This time it's clear, its target is you, and Li Shuai is the last one."
When the ghost found Xiao Mo, Li Shuai was snoring loudly on the bed. He didn't wake up until Xiao Mo knocked on the door. Then he hid to one side and observed the development of the situation. When Xiao Mo escaped into the bathroom, the ghost followed him in. Only then did Li Shuai open the room door and make a decision to help Xiao Mo, after which the previous scene unfolded.
Li Shuai's normality is another matter, but Xiao Mo was quite grateful to him. After all, without Li Shuai's help, he might have been torn into pieces by the ghost. Although that's the case, he wouldn't show it because if he had the chance in the future, he would repay him.
Let's not talk about this for now. Xiao Mo was very puzzled why the ghost left, it clearly had the opportunity to get rid of him. Xiao Mo's expression had already exposed his question, so before he could speak, Zou Lengchan had already given an answer:
"Generally speaking, ghosts don't choose crowded places to kill people, and besides, my curse also has a certain effect of driving away ghosts."
After Mo Ran finished speaking, Zhang Tianyi took over and said:
"I think Lao Gao should have told you that we're not completely helpless against ghosts. Otherwise, we wouldn't have had a chance to get the key."
Xiao Mo nodded in understanding, anyway, he had already seen many mysterious things, his original worldview had long been shattered, so these things were nothing that couldn't be accepted, it was just a lack of adaptation time.
"Can you kill it?"
This is what Xiao Mo cares about, he hopes to get a positive response, however...
"Don't even think about it, the oni are absolutely impossible to kill. We're lucky if we can just barely hold them back."
At these words, 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 plan to kill you this time because its torture of you is far from enough. Don't forget that you're an escapee, the one the ghost wants to torment and slaughter the most. This time was just an appetizer before despair, the real cruelty is yet to come."
Xiao Mo didn't dare to recall the helplessness he felt when facing the ghost, it was a kind of indescribable despair, and not a single thought of resistance arose in his heart.
"Haven't you thought of a way?"
"Helpless, at least I didn't think of it."
Zhang Tianyi didn't give Xiao Mo any hope, just like before. This trouble was Xiao Mo's, not his.
Xiao Mo smiled bitterly and nodded, no longer thinking about relying on Zhang Tianyi. At this moment, he suddenly had a key idea and asked in a hurry:
"Is Cui Xuan-yuan's cell phone in your hand?"
"Why ask this?"
Xiao Mo lazily didn't bother to explain, and casually said:
"I'm curious!"
Zhang Tianyi didn't ask much and replied:
"Chui Xuan-yuan's mobile phone also disappeared. According to Lao Gao, the phone had just been handed over to the service staff in the lobby when it vanished into thin air."
"In other words, Choi Hyeon-woo's phone disappeared before he was killed?"
Zhang Tianyi was taken aback for a moment, looking at Xiao Mo said:
"So to speak."
After listening, Xiao Mo asked again after a brief moment of contemplation:
"Is it possible to understand that all the victims' phones disappeared before they died? Hmm... In other words, does the ghost take away their phones before killing the victims?"
"This..."
Zhang Tianyi was stumped, and among the dead, he could only confirm Cui Xuan's identity. However, Xiao Mo's hypothesis was also possible, after all, they hadn't been monitoring the previous deaths, so it was hard to say for sure.
Xiao Meng reminded him, Zhang Tianyi seemed to have thought of something, but he just opened his mouth and didn't say anything.
Xiao Mo didn't ask any more questions. He reached into his pocket and pulled out his own phone, fortunately it hadn't disappeared.
Looking at the phone in his hand, Xiao Mo could clearly feel that he was getting closer and closer to the truth.
