Vol.2 - Chapter 24 – The cursed object that has become ineffective

The room has always been tightly locked. However, even so, the actors still died one after another. Why is that? It must be related to that room.

Inside... is the source of all evil!

Ye Xiang has been here before, but he didn't have this feeling before.

This made him suddenly think of something.

Three days! "Master" asked them to stay here for three days! Why does it have to be three days? Why can't it be five days, seven days, or a longer period of time?

Does three days have any important significance?

Tomorrow is the third day.

And now, it's getting closer and closer to the third day...

Sure enough, tomorrow, the fourth act, the final act, will there be any changes? Everything will change?

With this in mind, Ye Xiang became more determined in his initial idea. No matter what, he must reduce his overdraft amount before that, and even... make his redemption ticket no longer negative!

Due to going deeper into the basement... at this time, his redemption ticket has become -285. It's one step closer to the limit overdraft amount of 500.

At this moment, Ye Xiang and Su Han didn't speak. In this dark basement, they only had their phones for illumination. In the surrounding pitch-black darkness, it seemed like there were ghosts and spirits wandering around at any time.

Finally...

The two of them came to the sealed room again.

That ancient door is exactly the same as the one on the movie poster. The Ouyang family sealed something inside, and they sent seven people to guard it...

Ye Xiang looked at the door, as if he wanted to see through it, wanting to know what is the ultimate mystery behind this door? What are the eerie shadows hidden in this villa?

Su Han has already reached into his clothes and grabbed the scroll of the painting. He is confident that he can quickly take it out and unfold the painting. Although this painting is not as easy to carry as the severed finger and high heels, its life-saving effect is definitely not weak.

Ye Xiang is also prepared. He holds his phone in his left hand and inserts his right hand into his pocket, grabbing the high heels.

And they both silently stared at the sides, sharing the vision on the other side.

At this moment, the door suddenly trembled slightly.

An illusion?

However, soon, the two of them knew that it was not a trick of the eyes. Because, right after...

The door started to shake violently!

This door is made of alloy. Although it's hard to determine what kind of alloy it is, without any tools, to make this door shake so violently...

Both of them took a step back!

Could it be...

Could it be that something behind that door is about to come out?

Ye Xiang and Su Han both started sweating.

Su Han couldn't help but take a step back. He was already starting to have second thoughts. If something really comes out from here, the consequences would be unimaginable! He's at most a supporting actor, and even the protagonist Yu Chen died. If he stays here, it's no longer about earning redemption tickets, it's seeking death!

Ye Xiang had the same thought. The door already looks like it's about to collapse, it seems like it will be opened in the next moment...

Both of them started to retreat. In the end, they turned around and ran!

As they ran through the corridor, just as they were about to pass by, Su Han suddenly stopped!

Then, he took a few steps back.

Just now, he ran past a room's door.

Just now, he clearly saw...

It was just a room for storing food jars, and the door was always open.

He saw...

Could it be?

Is it impossible?

He rushed into that room!

Inside, there were still those ordinary food jars. It seemed like there was nothing abnormal.

"Just now... what did I see?"

Was it an illusion?

Or...

At this moment, he didn't notice that behind him, a blurry black figure began to slowly rise from those jars...

Swish!

He quickly pulled out the scroll and unfolded the painting!

In the painting, there was a little girl with hollow eyes, and behind the little girl, countless hands reached out. The origin of this cursed object is a horror movie called "Susan's Painting". In this painting, there were originally twelve hands, but sometimes when you count again, you will find... there are thirteen hands!

And as soon as the painting was unfolded, the hands inside naturally became thirteen!

There was nothing behind him.

Su Han was panting heavily, and at this moment, he quickly exited the room and closed the door! At this moment, a hand grabbed his shoulder!

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

He was scared out of his wits. He looked to the side and found that it was Ye Xiang!

"What's wrong with you? What is this painting?"

"This... this is a magical painting passed down in my family. I'll explain it to you later!"

"Okay, let's go!"

The two of them didn't waste any more words and ran towards the stairs!

Su Han finally felt a little relieved. As long as this painting is unfolded, there won't be any problems for now. Yes, for now...However, this idea disappeared in an instant. Because...

The painting in his hand suddenly turned into twelve hands again!

For Su Han, he had already memorized those hands very clearly. He knew exactly where the extra hand came from. He was just about to roll up the painting when it was almost ten seconds...

Why...

How is this possible?

The curse...

Ineffective?

The curse is ineffective! This kind of thing does happen. Curse items are not foolproof. For example, in top-level horror movies like the Ghost Sacrifice series, if this painting is sent in, its effect can only be considered minimal. In that kind of place, only people like Fang Leng and Jiao Mengqi dare to say they have the minimum ability to survive. But this is a low-level horror movie!

He suddenly thought, could Yu Chen's death also be because of this?

Before NG, the reason why he died was because... the curse item became ineffective?

He quickly rolled up the painting and put it back on himself, then he and Ye Xiang ran as fast as they could. At this moment, Ye Xiang was very clear that based on the current situation, as long as he could escape from this basement alive... then he would definitely be able to increase his redemption tickets!

Quick... quick... quick... quick!

After turning around this corridor, there was the elevator that they usually used to leave the basement! At that time, everything would...

Just as they were about to reach the corner of the corridor, Ye Xiang's gaze unintentionally moved to the wall. At that moment, he saw a terrifying scene!

On the wall, illuminated by the faint light of a cellphone...

Behind his and Su Han's shadows, there was a slender shadow, with its hands wrapped around Su Han's neck!

In that instant, Ye Xiang's mind went blank, and then he grabbed Su Han and quickly took out a high-heeled shoe!

Now!

At the moment he took out the high-heeled shoe, he also distanced himself from Su Han.

Looking back, the shadow behind Su Han disappeared.

Did it work?

Ye Xiang didn't stop for a moment and continued running towards what was in front of him. As long as he could escape, as long as he could escape...

Finally, he rushed to the stairs in front of him, but the entrance to the basement at the top... was closed!

Ye Xiang rushed up the stairs. He had already anticipated this situation, but he originally thought that with Su Han, the two curse items together, he didn't believe they couldn't open this door! But now, Su Han couldn't use the curse item anymore within half an hour!

And Su Han had also caught up!

The two of them approached the door continuously, the steps became fewer and fewer, ten steps left, eight steps left, six steps left...

The high-heeled shoe in Ye Xiang's hand could still support for four seconds! And Su Han took a step directly and was about to touch the doorknob of the entrance to the basement...

And at that moment, when he took a photo with his cellphone, Ye Xiang saw...

Behind his shadow reflected on the door, that slender shadow was standing in front of him, with its hands around his neck!

At this moment, Ye Xiang's hand that was reaching for the doorknob also froze in mid-air.

A real sense of suffocation instantly struck.

The cellphone fell to the ground.

Three, two, one...

A quick look at "pawread dot com" will leave you more fulfilled.

The current redemption tickets were not enough. They couldn't continue to overdraw.

After the time was up, the high-heeled shoe was completely banned from the curse and turned into an ordinary high-heeled shoe...

At the moment when Ye Xiang felt his life slipping away due to suffocation, he suddenly shouted, "Lu Zenan! Take out the talisman from my left pocket!"

Su Han woke up like a dream and immediately understood. He quickly reached out and took out the talisman! As long as Ye Xiang agreed to let him use it, then it wouldn't be considered snatching the curse item!

Then... he held the talisman and pressed it towards the void in front of him!

The blood-stained talisman instantly ignited and a flame appeared!

The last talisman was taken from "Horror Bus"! Ye Xiang didn't have full ownership of this talisman, so he could just give it directly to Su Han. And Su Han... he still had redemption tickets that could control this talisman!

Curse items without ownership, whoever holds and uses them will deduct their redemption tickets! Although there was a rule that it must be thrown away if it wasn't put on oneself within three seconds, Su Han used the talisman in less than three seconds!

Suddenly, the suffocating feeling around Ye Xiang's neck disappeared. The talisman floated in the air and burned to ashes!

Ye Xiang rushed forward, kicked open the door, and ran out!

He survived!

He walked forward, heading straight for the living room!

When he rushed into the living room and finally saw Yu Chen, he almost blacked out.

With great difficulty, he supported his body and didn't forget to put the high-heeled shoe away.

"Are you guys... okay?" Yu Chen immediately came up to support Ye Xiang!

At this moment, Ye Xiang's redemption tickets increased by a whole 800!

Before, he had -285 redemption tickets, using the high-heeled shoe for ten seconds deducted 435, and now he increased by 800, making it 365 redemption tickets!

Supporting himself on the sofa, Ye Xiang desperately gasped for breath. He finally temporarily gained a glimmer of hope!However, at this moment, he suddenly realized something.

"Wait... Lu... Where is Lu Zenan? Why didn't he come with us?"
