The protagonist is not so easily killed, but Bai Yu will not give up. Whether she does it herself or uses someone else to do the deed, it’s definitely worth a try. The current situation is that she can’t kill him herself, so she’ll let the madman downstairs take action.

The identity of the male lead is not guaranteed to be unkillable. If he can’t be killed, it just means the method is wrong.

Chains wrapped around her slender arms, Bai Yu punched the man and sent him flying into the wall behind him. As soon as the man hit the wall, Bai Yu teleported in front of him and stomped down, crushing one of the man’s arms.

“What the hell are you?!” The man howled like a ghost, scrambling to his feet, and just as he got up, the little fist wrapped in chains smashed down again, solidly hitting his chest.

Bang!

A burst of black smoke exploded from the man’s body, and he hit the wall again.

Half-paralyzed on the ground, the man just looked up when the fist wrapped in chains rapidly enlarged in his eyes. Even his groggy brain sobered up a bit, desperately tilting his head to avoid the punch that nearly grazed his face and smashed into the wall with a dull thud, leaving a small crater.

After the man turned into a ghost, he was tortured day and night, having to be “burned to death” once a day. Over the years, his consciousness had long since become unclear, only able to act on instinct, attacking anyone who went up to the fifth floor.

But after a few punches from Bai Yu, he actually briefly regained his dull consciousness.

“Go downstairs and kill that man just now. Don’t touch the girl in your room,” Bai Yu said cleanly, kicking the man out. She looked down at him from above.

As it turns out, ghosts can be scared too.

The man trembled, nodding vigorously, and hurriedly crawled towards the stairwell.

After the man left, Bai Yu shook off the chains wrapped around her arm, killed and devoured the hanged ghost, and also headed downstairs.

At the same time, Lu Liangting kicked the man in the raincoat and ran away.

He never expected that after one wave settled, another arose. After being saved by the kind-hearted ghost in the white dress on the fifth floor, he encountered a madman on the fourth floor.

The corridor on the fourth floor was burning with spirit fire, the flames growing larger and slowly spreading outwards. Lu Liangting fled, running towards the open room.

The fire was the biggest there, but he had to get through.

Only by getting the key, going up to the fifth floor, and opening room 506 to free the female corpse, could he end it all.

“Have you seen my wife?” The man in the raincoat quickly got up from the ground, no longer caring about his wife’s body on the floor, and staggered after him.

Lu Liangting clenched his teeth. Just as he was less than ten meters away from the open room, a swollen hand reached out from the darkness and suddenly grabbed his ankle. Lu Liangting looked down to see a female ghost lying on the ground, her hand gripping his ankle.

The female ghost’s face was extremely terrifying, her features swollen and indistinct due to blisters, and because of the rot, pus was oozing out from the rotten parts of her face.

Her skin was not pale but black and yellow, the color presented by the mixture of filth and pus.

Lu Liangting was ruthless, pulling out the rune-engraved brick from behind and smashing it into the female ghost’s face.

Bang, bang, bang, three consecutive hits, the female ghost finally let go, and at this moment, the man in the raincoat also rushed over.

Lu Liangting was seeing red, and he smeared the brick on the man in the raincoat’s face.

After putting down the man in the raincoat, Lu Liangting finally rushed into the room, but as soon as he entered, before he could catch his breath, a pink hoe swung at him from behind the door.

Lu Liangting couldn’t even shout “damn it” when the sharp part of the hoe smashed hard on his head. He could clearly feel the warm liquid sliding down his forehead, his head dizzy and his body falling to one side.

In this instant, he couldn’t even feel the pain, only a sense of dizziness and blurred vision as he fell to the ground. Illuminated by the dim red light of the spirit fire, he saw a girl holding the “weapon” and biting her lower lip nervously.

“Ming, Mingyue…”

“Lu Liangting??” Zhao Mingyue only then saw clearly who she had knocked down.

Before she could check on Lu Liangting, she saw something out of the corner of her eye as she approached the door.

The black, low-quality pajamas clung tightly to the body, the blotchy dark spots making it unclear whether it was dried blood or something else.

The stench was overwhelming, making one nauseous. One couldn’t help but wonder how terrifying the body under the black pajamas must be.

Even more terrifying was that half of the man’s arm was shattered, and from the wound, one could even see the ribs.

“No one is allowed upstairs!” The man blocked the door, with the burning ghostly fire behind him, as if he was in the midst of a fire.

The fire axe in his hand gleamed coldly, and the man’s eyes were filled with resentment.

At this moment, Zhao Mingyue was no more than two meters away from the man.

The room behind her was a fire scene, with no escape routes, which she had already confirmed.

The only exit was blocked, and she dragged Lu Liangting over while frantically calling Bai Yu’s name in her heart.

“Bai Yu, Sister Bai, save the day!”

At this time, Lu Liangting was sitting on the ground, one hand on his forehead, his palm full of blood, but he didn’t care about that, only cooperating with Zhao Mingyue to slowly move backward.

With nowhere to retreat, Lu Liangting took something out of his pocket and threw it at the door’s evil ghost.

It was a black bloodstained pen. The pen flew in mid-air, and another figure appeared, just blocking between Lu Liangting and the evil ghost.

“Zhang Lin, please.” Lu Liangting’s voice was weak.

The boy named Zhang Lin was not old, seventeen or eighteen years old, still a teenager, wearing a basketball uniform.

He was tall and strong, and with a full-force push, he knocked the evil ghost back repeatedly. However, the evil ghost was not afraid of him at all, raising the fire axe and smashing it down, and Zhang Lin’s body became much fainter.

“This, this ghost…” Zhao Mingyue blinked.

Just now, in front of her, Lu Liangting summoned a ghost!

But the problem is, this ghost doesn’t seem to be a match for the evil ghost.

There’s such a big difference in strength between ghosts? Bai Yu just scared off the ghost with one hit.

“Use fire!” Zhao Mingyue’s eyes lit up, looking around, she tore the fabric from the sofa, balled it up, and went forward to light it with the ghostly fire on the curtain. Taking advantage of the burning spirit fire, she threw it at the evil ghost at the door.

Lu Liangting reacted quickly, “Zhang Lin, get out of the way!”

The teenage ghost blinked and dived into the pen on the ground, while the burning cloth was thrown onto the evil ghost.

Watching the evil ghost ignite and let out painful howls, Zhao Mingyue and Lu Liangting didn’t dare to be careless, because they weren’t sure if the ghost would be burned to death first or if they would be killed by the evil ghost first.

The evil ghost howled in pain while raising the axe, and just at this critical moment, red chains pierced through the evil ghost’s body from behind.

The evil ghost fell powerlessly, revealing the petite figure behind him.

Seeing Bai Yu, Zhao Mingyue wasn’t excited yet, but Lu Liangting, with blood streaming down his forehead, was the first to get excited, “It’s you!”

Struggling to stand up, Lu Liangting looked at Bai Yu with complicated eyes, both excited and distressed.

The girl in front of him must also be a victim of this building, right? She’s still so young, at the prime of her life, but she died like this.

Even though she died here, she still maintained a kind heart, saving him twice!

This girl must have been very kind in her life.

“Thank you for saving me, can you tell me your name?”

Lu Liangting firmly believed that Bai Yu was a kind ghost, he trusted his instincts.

“My name is Lu Liangting, Little Sister, don’t be afraid, I will take you out of here. If you have any wishes, you can tell me, I will definitely help you fulfil them!”

Looking at Bai Yu’s pale skin under the white dress, and then at the black lines on her skin like cracks, Lu Liangting felt that she was like a broken angel doll that had fallen into the mortal world. So fragile, it made one’s heart ache.

His gaze made Bai Yu uncomfortable.

If she remembered correctly, she had only met Lu Liangting twice, right?

What is this kid freaking out about, daring to talk to her like this?
