Re:Library

This man is also quite useless. As a ghost, he tried to block two ordinary people, but not only did he fail to kill Lu Liangting, he almost got himself burned to death. Perhaps his only use is to become her nourishment.

It’s a pity that she couldn’t swallow Lu Liangting’s ghost, reducing one of his trump cards. However, the problem is not big, that ghost’s strength is very weak, even weaker than that useless male ghost.

In the corridor, the spirit fire burns, Bai Yu looked deeply at Lu Liangting, but did not deal with him and disappeared on the spot, entering Zhao Mingyue’s shadow.

After entering her shadow, she did not forget to remind, “Mingyue, do not expose our relationship, this is very important.”

Zhao Mingyue wanted to say something but stopped, glanced behind her, and nodded imperceptibly.

On the side, Lu Liangting was a bit embarrassed, Bai Yu actually ignored him.

In Lu Liangting’s heart, ghosts are actually much easier to get along with than people. In his view, the human heart is the most complex and the most untrustworthy. He can see through a person’s surface, but he can’t see through a person’s heart. However, ghosts are different, ghosts are the obsessions of people after death, and for this reason, most ghosts are very simple.

Either simply evil, or simply good, or simply acting for a certain purpose.

With evil ghosts, naturally, there is nothing to say.

And the naturally good ghosts, most of them are pitiful people, if they can help, they will help.

This kind of ghost is rare, they always refuse to go either because they have obsessions in their hearts, or because they can’t leave due to some restrictions. No matter which kind, they are actually quite pitiful.

In his experience, this kind of ghost is the most pitiful. Their life’s obsession, after death does not dissolve, their every moment suffering the torment of pain. If it is the latter, it means that she is influenced by another evil ghost, if no one helps, she can only stay in this small space forever.

In his view, Bai Yu naturally belongs to the good kind of ghosts.

If she was an evil ghost, then he would have died on the fifth floor just now.

“Lu Liangting, we have to hurry out!” Zhao Mingyue pulled Lu Liangting’s arm and walked out. There was almost no place to stay in the room behind her. All the furniture in the room was burning, and even the floor was on fire.

“It’s okay, don’t worry about me.”

Lu Liangting covered his head and stood up, his head was still dizzy. He glanced at the magic staff in Zhao Mingyue’s hand, he did not know what to say for a moment, was this the thing that knocked him out just now?

And one more thing, why did he meet her here?

With a heart full of doubts, Lu Liangting followed Zhao Mingyue back to the corridor, then he suddenly remembered, there is still a madman in the corridor.

With one hand on the wall, as soon as Lu Liangting came out, he saw Zhao Mingyue raise the magic staff with both hands, and with one staff, the female ghost in the dark was hammered to the ground. The raincoat man also screamed strangely and rushed over, and then was hit by Zhao Mingyue heavily on his arm.

The raincoat man is a living person after all. Lu Liangting heard a tooth-aching crack, he thought, this raincoat man’s arm must be broken. Fortunately Zhao Mingyue didn’t use that much force to hit him just now, otherwise it would not be as simple as bleeding a little.

Standing in the burning corridor, Zhao Mingyue gasped, her chest heaving badly.

This is the second time she has used the weapon in her hand to hammer people. Looking at the raincoat man lying on the ground holding his arm and howling, she silently apologized in her heart, turned her head and glanced at Lu Liangting, her eyes signaled for him to follow, and then she ran towards the direction of the stairs.

It was delayed for a while, and the fire in the corridor was very fierce now.

What’s weird is that in the room, she felt the heat of the flames, but the fire in the corridor is just the opposite. Zhao Mingyue only felt waves of cold coming from all directions, seeping into every pore of her body.

This coldness cannot be described in words, as if what was frozen was not the body but the soul.

Zhao Mingyue remembered a post she had seen on the Interne before, in which reported that a tenant in Tomorrow Apartments was found frozen to death in the room in August. The police did not find any useful clues after arriving at the scene, and preliminarily ruled out the suspicion of homicide.

She couldn’t understand how this building could still be rented out after so many people died in it, just changing its name.

Holding a rusty key in her hand, Zhao Mingyue rushed to the fifth floor in one breath.

In a short time, the fifth floor has undergone earth-shaking changes. The dark red ghostly fire is burning everything on the ceiling, and twisted faces appear on the walls of every room. These faces are screaming silently, as if they are suffering great pain.

At a glance, there are at least a dozen faces on the walls on both sides, men and women, old and young.

These faces in their painful struggle found Zhao Mingyue, one by one opened their eyes, with a hoarse and terrifying voice begging Zhao Mingyue for help.

“Save me!”

“It hurts! It hurts so much!”

“It hurts so much!”

“My head, where is my head!”

“Please save me, save me, why don’t you save me!”

Like people who are about to drown, Zhao Mingyue has become their last straw.

If Zhao Mingyue really went over, not only would she not be able to save them, but she would also be dragged down and become a new face on the wall.

The vision seems to be covered with a red filter, the walls are no longer white but red and black intertwined, those burning flames are also blood-colored.

Under this atmosphere, the faces on the wall are still screaming, if it is only one or two people, it would be okay, but more than a dozen people are shouting at the same time, completely making one unable to hear what they are shouting, only making people feel headache and irritable.

Zhao Mingyue rushed towards the depths of the corridor through the sea of fire, passing several room doors in a row, she suddenly found that the doors of two rooms were open, and there were no faces on the walls.

“Did the monsters inside run out?”

With a wary mind, Zhao Mingyue has rushed to the door of 506.

Lu Liangting covered his head and followed behind, he is smart, seeing Zhao Mingyue holding the key, he understood everything, and everyone has secrets, there is no need to break the pot and ask to the bottom.

“Mingyue, let me do it.”

The key in Zhao Mingyue’s hand has been inserted into the keyhole at this time, she turned her head to look at Lu Liangting, gently shook her head to refuse, turned the key, and opened the door.

A stench hit, Zhao Mingyue stepped back two steps, while Lu Liangting seemed to feel nothing, he was slightly stunned, and then he actually stepped in.

Zhao Mingyue wanted to follow, but Bai Yu suddenly appeared in front of her.

“Don’t go over, this kid is now trapped in an illusion, he should be back to the day when the female ghost was burned to death.”

Bai Yu narrowed her eyes, in the moment when the door of 506 suddenly closed, she saw a woman standing in the room.

“Mingyue, get ready, your task will be over soon.”
