Chapter 24: The Crying Face
Chapter 24: The Crying Face
"Xiong Wenwen, the last test."
"Everyone listen to me. This time I will open the golden box and release the ghost inside. Everyone run outside."
Yang Jian spoke to the others in a deep voice.
"Han Mo, next you use your ability on Xiong Wenwen to let him know the future."
"Xiong Wenwen's condition is not good. If we continue to predict, it is very likely that the evil spirit will revive."
"Leave it to me." Han Mo nodded.
Xiong Wenwen closed her eyes and predicted it again.
In the picture, Yang Jian cut a hole in the golden box and threw it to the second floor, and then everyone immediately ran to the first floor.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
As a hole appeared in the golden box, a strange crying sound suddenly appeared in the stairwell.
However, the crying sound soon disappeared, and everyone ran out smoothly.
This time, no one encountered the tall male corpse again.
Xiong Wenwen opened his eyes, and this time his eyes were filled with joy.
"Successful?" Yang Jian noticed Xiong Wenwen's expression and asked.
"Yes, we managed to escape."
"Was it the strange crying sound in the box that interrupted the ghost's attack on us?"
Xiong Wenwen widened her eyes and looked at Yang Jian curiously.
Hearing this, Yang Jian gave a bitter smile.
"I guess so."
"I just guessed that the Red and White Devils might have been influenced by the newspaper ghost."
"However, considering the strength of the newspaper ghost, even if it can affect the Red and White Devils, it should only be a slight impact."
"The thing locked inside this golden box is a ghost, and there is a piece of cloth with a crying face printed on it. I took it from the crying ghost of the Red and White Devils."
Hearing this, Han Mo's face turned ugly.
"So, the success of this prediction is actually the puzzle piece of you releasing the red and white evil spirits."
"After encountering the puzzle, the Red and White Devils' instinct to complete the puzzle will overwhelm the influence of the newspaper ghost on them."
"Will this prevent them from attacking us as before?"
"But in this case, won't the Red and White Devils become even more terrifying?"
Yang Jian nodded: "It's a desperate measure."
Hearing this, Han Mo also looked helpless.
It is true. If they don't release the cloth covering their faces with crying faces, they will die.
Although releasing them would make the Red and White Devils even more terrifying, at least they would have a chance to escape.
"If we die, this face covering will still fall into the hands of evil spirits."
"According to my guess, the newspaper ghost was most likely looking for the ghost face, and attacked Tong Qian most likely because of the ghost smile on her body."
"If the crying face in the face-covering cloth is taken by the newspaper ghost, it will not be a good thing for us."
Hearing this, everyone thought of the situation where the newspaper ghost had both a smiling ghost face and a crying ghost face.
That guy is very weird and can steal and modify other people's memories.
If there really were two ghost faces, the level of danger would increase infinitely.
"Tap Tap!"
While several people were talking, a white figure slowly walked out from the second floor exit of the stairs.
Yang Jian was still talking when he suddenly felt a crazy warning from the ghost eye. He saw a white figure out of the corner of his eye.
"run!"
Yang Jian shouted hurriedly, then smashed the golden box hard towards a staircase on the second floor.
Hearing Yang Jian's shout, everyone instinctively ran out without any time to react. "Bang!"
The golden box hit the steps, leaving a dent in them.
And the golden box itself also had a small crack.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
A strange crying sound came out from the crack.
Yang Jian was running away and heard a faint cry. Suddenly, a ghost eye appeared at the back of his head.
Yang Jian breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that there was no evil ghost chasing him.
"Finally escaped."
Arriving at the hotel lobby, Russell exhaled deeply.
"What happened just now? Why did the ghost appear on the second floor before we even started to act?" Xiong Wenwen asked puzzledly.
"It took quite some time to use my foresight to come up with a countermeasure, so the ghost had already reached the second floor."
Yang Jian explained to Xiong Wenwen.
Although the past time in Xiong Wenwen's prediction is not synchronized with the real time, prediction does require time, even if it is very short.
And it takes time for them to come up with a solution.
Hearing this, Xiong Wenwen finally reacted.
"Okay, let's take a break first. We'll take a different route this time."
"I won't take this staircase anymore."
Yang Jian looked towards the back door of the hotel.
There is a safe passage that also leads to the second and third floors of the hotel.
On the other side, Zhang Hao had just walked to the second floor when he saw a yellow box being thrown towards his feet.
As the box hit the steps, a crack was created.
Hearing the whimpering sound, Zhang Hao reacted quickly.
"Is this the Crying Ghost Face? That guy Yang Jian actually threw the Crying Ghost Face directly at me?"
However, thinking of his previous guesses, although Zhang Hao still couldn't figure out what the situation was, he was probably related to premonition.
"So, it's because Xiong Wenwen predicted a very bad ending, and Yang Jian finally felt that the only way to survive was to hand over the Crying Ghost Face to me?"
Zhang Hao was thinking in his heart.
Yang Jian is indeed the kind of person who dares to try anything in order to survive.
In the original novel, Yang Jian once released a headless ghost in Huanggang Village in order to restore the balance in the village in order to gain a chance of survival.
As for Zhang Hao, he did not intend to kill Yang Jian. His next goal must be to obtain the Ghost Crying Face.
Since Yang Jian was unwilling to show any sign of trouble, Zhang Hao would naturally find a way to stop them from leaving.
But after the ghosts start to be summoned, the situation is no longer under Zhang Hao's control, and the bride might lose control at that time.
Ultimately, Xiong Wenwen predicted that the only chance of survival for Yang Jian and others was the moment when Yang Jian threw out the Ghost Crying Face.
As long as he throws out the Ghost Crying Face, Zhang Hao will give up targeting Yang Jian.
Zhang Hao gave up attacking Yang Jian. Without triggering the killing pattern, the bride naturally would not do anything to Yang Jian, let alone start to summon ghosts.
"Looking at it this way, it's a good ending. It can avoid exposing my intelligence."
At this point, Zhang Hao no longer expects the headquarters to not have any record of him.
The only thing he still cared about was that his wisdom must not be exposed.
Like wish ghosts and newspaper ghosts, these ghosts reveal their own wisdom.
Either you are wanted by headquarters, the search area is expanded nationwide, and the priority of handling is infinitely increased, and you can only choose to hide and cannot continue to make plans.
Or it could be like the newspaper ghost, which could only make a bigger noise to protect itself, attract more ghost riders, kill the ghost riders, and increase the weirdness.
Until finally, as the noise grew louder and louder, it attracted the monster-level ghost riders from the headquarters.
