Vol.3 - Chapter 18 – Multiple defense lines

Bai Yushuo was the fastest runner among the three. In the real world, she paid great attention to physical exercise. She had been traveling around the world since she was young, walking several kilometers a day. She had private gyms and swimming pools both domestically and internationally, and she persisted in exercising all year round. As a result, her figure remained in good shape, and swimming and track and field were her strengths. At this moment, in just a few seconds, she had already reached the stairs, leaving Cheng Xuesong and Li Weisi far behind!

At this time, Cheng Xuesong had already put away the bones and didn't dare to use it for more than five seconds! This cursed item was very easy to trigger the curse recovery, after all, it was obtained from a top-level horror movie! Jiang Zhe and Li Weisi were following closely behind. As for the blood-red palm that Li Weisi had just obtained, he was told not to use it in this horror movie, because once used, the curse would immediately recover! Ye Xiang's high heels didn't have much effect either, and the curse was almost recovered. It could be said that most of it relied on Cheng Xuesong!

Finally, the three of them rushed out and headed towards the opposite house! The three of them had already exceeded the time specified in the script while inside this "haunted house". For them, the only place where they could survive was An Zhihui's house, which was covered in talismans!

After rushing into the house, Yushuo immediately closed and locked the door as soon as Jiang Zhe and Li Weisi entered. She had already locked all the windows in advance, and seeing the anime posters (which were talismans) everywhere in the room, she felt slightly relieved. Although this place couldn't be called impenetrable, it could be considered safe for the time being. Breaking through the talismans here was not a simple task! Then she said, "Quick! Let's go to the second floor!"

At this moment, Li Weisi suddenly noticed blood at the corner of Yushuo's mouth. "Zhihui, are you bleeding?"

"It's nothing! There's no time to talk about this now!"

After running to the second floor, the four of them were responsible for waking up the other three: Wu Zhaotian, Zhu Dingjun, and Qian Xiaoxue.

"Wake up quickly!"

All the doors and windows that could be entered from the outside of An Zhihui's house were covered in talismans. Then, Yushuo pulled the curtains of those windows and said after everyone came to her room, "Everyone, you may find it unbelievable, but I must tell you... something terrible has happened in the neighboring house. So..."

After everything was said, the others all had expressions of disbelief.

"Are you kidding?" Wu Zhaotian showed an expression of disbelief. "Are you saying that the new neighbor is a ghost or demon that invaded from another dimension? After killing those missing people, did they turn them into zombies?"

"I'm not in the mood to joke with you." Yushuo's expression became serious. "In any case, all of this is true. So..."

And after midnight, the fourth act would begin!

What would happen after that was completely unknown!

"Nonsense, I don't believe it!" Wu Zhaotian still had an expression of absolute disbelief. The character he played, Song Jun, was naturally the type of extra who always died because he didn't believe in anything in horror movies. He was the one most likely to trigger a death flag.

"No, I... I believe!" Qian Xiaoxue said tremblingly. "I'm afraid this is true..."

Zhu Dingjun, who played Zhang Yun, was completely a supporting character with few lines. At this time, he only said, "This, isn't this too bizarre... the door to another dimension..."

And just at this moment, a strong palpitation struck, and Yushuo immediately sensed that the front door on the first floor had been opened! The talismans attached to the door accurately sensed it!

Without hesitation, she tightly clenched her hand! The blood on the three talismans on the door immediately triggered the medium, expelling the intruder!

The use of the three talismans also deducted 900 death coupons, but it still made Yushuo's head shake violently, almost unable to stand steady.

"Are you okay?" Li Weisi quickly supported Yushuo.

This was different from the script. According to the script, the intrusion should have happened later!

The front door was not working... next, it would choose another location to invade, right? But there were no blind spots in the room, as long as the distance was not more than ten meters, there would be no problem. If necessary, she could go down herself. However, using the medium too frequently would put too much strain on her body. If something went wrong, she might faint immediately. And she had to buy time, to wait for Cheng Xuesong's ghost bone to cool down after half an hour!

Li Weisi helped Yushuo onto the bed. At this moment, sweat the size of soybeans began to roll down her forehead. In any case, triggering the three talismans with the medium at the same time was indeed a bit difficult. But she had to do it, she had to buy time. After all, the medium couldn't be used repeatedly.

Now, both Li Weisi and Cheng Xuesong couldn't use their cursed items temporarily. Zhu Dingjun had a soul-stirring talisman from Wen Yufan's purchase of "Horror Bus", but it was basically useless. At this time, once Yushuo fainted, this group of people would have no choice but to actively NG in order to survive.

At this moment, Wu Zhaotian and Zhu Dingjun were also scared, afraid that Yushuo would faint. What would they do if she fainted?

"It's okay." Yushuo waved her hand and said, "This house is covered in talismans with my medium blood everywhere. Although they were made with notebook paper, the effect is not that great."

"You're just bragging!" Wu Zhaotian, on one hand, worried about Yushuo, and on the other hand, pretended not to believe it. "Medium blood and all that, you've watched too many horror movies!"

"Shut up!" Li Weisi glared angrily at Wu Zhaotian and said, "Zhihui wouldn't lie. I believe her!"

This eerie atmosphere lasted for more than twenty minutes.

At 11:35 PM.

At this moment, Yushuo felt once again that there was an intrusion at the front door! And because she had used up three talismans, the nearest one was still a bit far away!

How could it be so fast?

The danger downstairs was floating and uncertain, that strange thing, whether it was a ghost or a demon, was coming towards the stairs! The palpitation made Yushuo feel a strong sense of oppression in her chest!

She suddenly clenched her right hand and triggered a talisman on the handrail of the stairs!She dared not trigger more than one, otherwise she would really faint! However, even so, her head felt like it was being hit by a hammer, her mind was spinning, and everything in front of her became blurry!

"Zhihui! What's wrong with you?" Li Weisi immediately supported her, while the latter clenched her teeth and persisted.

However, this time it did not expel it, but only imprisoned it in front of the stair railing!

Ten seconds later, the imprisonment would begin to weaken!

"Retreat!" Yushuo shouted, "Let's retreat to the attic!"

Zhihui's house had an attic between the second floor and the roof. The attic was relatively spacious and could accommodate seven people without any problem, although the ventilation and lighting were much worse. But now there was no other choice.

Ten seconds, time was too tight! Five seconds had already passed!

"Let's go!" Li Weisi pulled Yushuo and rushed outside, followed closely by Cheng Xuesong, Wu Zhaotian, and others. Jiang Zhe and Qian Xiaoxue, two new actors, also followed closely behind.

The seven of them arrived at a corner, and Yushuo pulled up a rope above. The attic stairs immediately fell down. She immediately shouted, "Go up! If you don't want to die, go up!"

At this point, ten seconds had already passed!

The talisman below also automatically dissipated! The evil spirit imprisoned on the stairs was afraid that it would come up again! However, Yushuo had no choice. She couldn't use her mediumistic ability anymore!

Wu Zhaotian scratched his head and said, "I don't believe it!"

Jiang Zhe, who was beside him, grabbed his hair tightly and pulled him up. Earlier, Wu Zhaotian had given him a signal.

After going upstairs, they retracted the stairs and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Yushuo had also previously attached three talismans at the entrance of the attic.

After entering the attic, everyone temporarily relaxed. The talismans below were already difficult to expel the evil spirit, at most, they could only delay its invasion of the second floor. And what would happen next, no one could predict. The situation and the plot had completely changed.

In the dark attic, everyone sat down regardless of the dust. Wu Zhaotian was tightly covering Jiang Zhe's mouth, acting as if it was a real situation. Zhu Dingjun was clutching the soul-stirring talisman he bought from Wen Yufan in his pocket, feeling extremely nervous. The curse items of Li Weisi and Cheng Xuesong had not cooled down yet.

As for Bai Yushuo, although she was dizzy at the moment, she still had value. The number of her redemption tickets increased by 3000 in one breath! After all, she saved the lives of so many people! Of course, after deducting 1800 tickets for using the mediumistic ability twice in a row, she only got 1200 tickets. And if she used the mediumistic ability again, she would only have 300 tickets left. There was no way, high returns meant high costs, and the profit naturally became thin.

And then, she felt the imprisonment on the stairs disappear, and the evil spirit slowly ascended. It had already... invaded the second floor!

They had to take action! Li Weisi and Cheng Xuesong's cooldown time had not yet arrived!

She clenched her hands again and triggered a talisman at the stairwell!

This time, the evil spirit was imprisoned again!

At the same time, she felt her head almost tearing apart, her vision went black, and she immediately fainted.

However, she bought time! When the cooldown time arrived, relying on Cheng Xuesong's ghost bone would definitely turn the tide! The effect was not obvious when used in front of that door earlier, but it was completely different here! It was a curse item from a top-level horror movie! It was the curse of countless dead in the ghost festival!

Cheng Xuesong, how could she not understand Bai Yushuo's thoughts? The ghost bone on her body was the only hope! Therefore, she took a deep breath and waited for the cooldown time to come.

However, Bai Yushuo had already fainted and could no longer perceive the effect of the talisman's imprisonment on the ghost. By the way, she didn't need to clench her hands to trigger the talisman at all. That action was just a reminder to Cheng Xuesong that the ghost... was coming!

And this also meant that after the cooldown time, she couldn't determine whether the ghost had eliminated the imprisonment effect of the talisman. This was similar to the effect of the curse item, and it was difficult to determine the specific duration.

However, Cheng Xuesong would not retreat because of this. After all, she... was known as the Snow Queen of the entire 20 Degrees Hell Cinema!
