Chapter 260 Trying the Law by Yourself
tick-
The corpse oil melted by the candlelight fell like tears.
The flickering candlelight floated across the red carpet, the chaotic figures were mixed together, and the wide and empty first floor hall was filled with whispers. There was no one here, but it was crowded.
"This way, there's a door this way."
A candle flame flew along the wall, illuminating an old wooden door that appeared and disappeared on the wall. Bai Zhi pulled Ning Zhe's sleeve to signal him to light the corpse oil lamp quickly, but Ning Zhe shook his head: "Wait a moment."
"But..." Bai Zhi opened her mouth, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
There was a chaos of demons in the red-carpeted hall. Dozens of candles were floating in the air looking for traces of living people. Several spiritual fires were wandering towards the corner where the two of them were hiding.
If you are found, you will die.
Seeing the flickering candle flames getting closer and closer, Bai Zhi's face turned pale with anxiety. She looked at Ning Zhe beside her, only to see him sitting there delicately and weakly. He put his left hand into the root of his thigh and pinched it hard. Tears as big as beans suddenly welled up in his eyes. Ning Zhe's mouth pursed, and with tearful eyes, he put on a pitiful and weak look, and called to Spencer under the pillar not far away: "Save us, Spencer..."
Ning Zhe's voice was delicate and soft, with a weak tremor that moved the heartstrings. The slender figure of the white girl was as thin as a piece of torn paper flying in the wind surrounded by several spiritual fires. A few strands of scattered hair stuck to the corners of her lips. The weak girl, who was extremely frightened, sat on the ground helplessly, biting her lower lip lightly, and called out desperately to the blond young man not far away: "Didn't you say you would protect us, Spencer... Save me..."
Bai Zhi stood there in a daze, staring blankly at Ning Zhe's weak and helpless thin back. She saw his other hand hidden behind his back, secretly making a "yeah" gesture to her.
Spencer in the distance looked here anxiously, wanting to come to Ning Zhe and open his arms to protect his sister and the girl he liked. However, death is death, weirdness is weirdness, and rules never consider emotions.
A spiritual fire floated above Spencer, enveloping his body in soft candlelight. An illusory transparent shadow emerged in the gap between the light and shadow. Ning Zhe saw an invisible hand reaching out from "over there" and grabbing Spencer's ankle. Another hand emerged from the darkness behind the pillar and pinched the blond young man's neck, leaving clear finger-shaped bruises.
More pale hands reached out from all directions, tearing at Spencer's body. Looking at Cynthia who was sitting by the wall crying not far away and Katya who seemed to be frightened and unable to speak, he instinctively wanted to scream, but when he opened his mouth, a cold white hand stretched out from his mouth.
Spencer is dead.
The spiritual fire that floated towards Ning Zhe stopped in the air for a moment, and then continued to float towards him. Ning Zhe got up, but instead of turning around to escape, he took the initiative to meet the candlelight and turned to Bai Zhi and said, "Take my lamp and go quickly."
"Ningzhe...you..."
"Just go, don't ask so many questions." Ning Zhe raised the corner of his mouth and showed Bai Zhi a confident smile: "Go, I will come to find you again, although I may change my face. Trust me, let's go."
Bai Zhi nodded, bent down to pick up Ning Zhe's lamp, turned around and left.
There were no candles chasing after him, because they had been attracted by Ning Zhe who had walked into the candlelight. Looking at the petite girl quietly slipping away along the wall, Ning Zhe stretched out a hand and gently gestured "yeah". The next moment, two pale hands grabbed Ning Zhe's throat.
he died.
"call……"
Ning Zhe woke up from the soft big bed, and the soft light above his head quietly cast a gentle light that helped him sleep.
His lower body felt heavy, and when he looked down, he saw Xia Yubing, using his thigh as a pillow, lying lazily on the bed watching the animation on the big screen.
"Awake?" Feeling the movement in the quilt, Xia Yubing turned her head, lay on Ning Zhe's stomach and looked up at him: "You can really sleep." "How long have I slept?" Ning Zhe asked, rubbing his eyebrows.
"About 4 hours." Xia Yubing took out her phone from her arms and looked at it: "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"
"Get me a glass of water."
"it is good."
Xia Yubing stood up and poured Ning Zhe half a cup of boiling water, added a few ice cubes to adjust it to the appropriate temperature, and took a sip herself before handing it to Ning Zhe.
Van Dyke was not in the habit of drinking warm water. His airship only provided boiled water for making tea and ice water for mixing drinks. If he wanted warm water, he had to make it himself.
Xia Yubing doesn't wear lipstick, so there are no ambiguous lipstick marks on the glass. Ning Zhe drank half a cup of warm water to moisten his dry throat, and briefly reviewed in his mind what happened in the lobby on the first floor of the clock tower.
Spencer Nabart is a cheerful person with simple thinking. He doesn't have any complicated schemes or calculations - this is not to praise his kindness. The reason why he is simple-minded is that he was addicted to leaves in junior high school, and then he started taking powder in high school. His brain nerves were damaged by drugs at a young age. This is a simple-mindedness in the physical sense.
Teenagers like Spencer who are ruined by drugs are not uncommon in Europe. It has become a widespread social phenomenon. In fact, Cynthia, who is "possessed" by Ning Zhe, is also addicted to drugs, but she is currently still in the leaf stage.
It is precisely because of his poor brain that the single-minded Spencer made such a reckless move as taking the candles from the candlesticks in the hall.
But it was precisely because this person was simple-minded and reckless that Ning Zhe was able to achieve his goal so easily.
"With this guy here, Bai Zhi should be safe for the time being." Ning Zhe finished drinking the water, handed the empty cup to Xia Yubing, and lifted the thin blanket on his body.
According to his first experience of entering Vanessa Castle and the headless corpse he saw at the execution ground, after a living person is killed by them, they will become one of them, wandering around the castle aimlessly and killing anyone they see.
By the same token, after Spencer's death, he will be transformed into a translucent illusory spirit and become one of them wandering in the castle.
Knowing this, Ning Zhe took advantage of Cynthia's frail image, Spencer's secret love for her, and his natural desire to protect his sister Kaqiuya as a brother, and successfully aroused the emotions of this young man, leaving an extremely clear mark on his thoughts.
The content of the seal is: [I must protect Cynthia and Kaqiuya]
To be able to mobilize his emotions successfully and leave this stamp in such a critical situation, to some extent, we have to thank Spencer for flying leaves when he was young.
"Now that Cynthia is dead, Spencer, who has turned into a spirit, should follow Bai Zhi and protect her obsessively and extremely." Ning Zhe slowly breathed a sigh of relief, got out of bed and put on his slippers.
Bai Zhi is actually very timid, otherwise she wouldn't hide in a corner timidly and motionlessly every time she has a nightmare, trembling and waiting for the nightmare to end and for her to wake up.
However, such a timid girl was willing to suppress her fear and get up to walk with him in order to help him. Whether for personal reasons or objective interests, Ning Zhe would try his best to ensure the girl's safety.
"Okay... I have to do something else while Baizhi is temporarily safe under Spencer's protection." Ning Zhe got out of bed in his slippers and walked out of the room.
