Lobby.
Ryan played with the revolver in his hand, thinking about what the demon hunter had just said.
He glanced outside the door.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but as night fell, the darkness outside seemed to become thicker than before.
He looked at the time.
There was about half an hour left before the soul lamp would go out, and that would herald the arrival of night in this dark world.
"There shouldn't be any customers at this time."
Ryan played with the revolver in his hand, and his eyes fell on the ghost baby on the counter.
[Evil Spirit Blood Baby]
[Level]: 7
[Attribute]: Chaotic Evil
[Introduction]: The ghost spirit condensed by resentment and ghost energy, and the evil spirit blood baby condensed by absorbing a large amount of animal blood, once formed, will devour the host's soul and flesh, and gradually grow stronger, turning into a disaster.
I didn't look at it for a while.
This ghost baby has actually grown to level 7.
This terrible growth rate is estimated to become very difficult to deal with in a short time.
"Is this gun really like he said, that it can't hit the target no matter what?"
Ryan hesitated.
He stood up.
Put the ghost baby on the stool in front of the counter.
Then he closed one eye and aimed at the ghost baby's head.
Bang——
A bullet instantly brushed past the ghost baby's ear.
[Evil Ghost Baby Fear +10]
Evil Ghost Baby: "(ΩДΩ)!"
Ryan raised his eyebrows, blew the black smoke coming out of the muzzle, and said:
"Is it really possible to hit it?!"
He was a little skeptical.
"Anyway, there is still half an hour, just in time to practice shooting."
Ryan's expression was calm.
Bang——
[Evil Ghost Baby Fear +10]
Bang——
[Evil Ghost Baby Fear +10]
Bang——
...
Very quickly.
Half an hour passed in a flash.
With a whoosh.
The soul lamp hanging on the doorpost suddenly went out without warning.
Without saying a word, Ryan immediately raised his head, rushed to the door with a serious expression, and took back the soul lamp.
The darkness outside the door became thicker and thicker, and there was no sound in the silence.
Ryan knew.
Night fell!
Creak--
He immediately closed the door and locked it with a rusty iron chain.
The windows on both sides of the door were all tightly sealed with wooden boards, leaving no gaps.
The experience of the past two years has told him that as long as the soul lamp goes out and night falls, it will be a huge test for you, because in this case, it means that no matter who it is, they can break into your shelter at will without your permission.
And the bloody flesh that his teacher chopped off this morning.
It was the monster that sneaked in last night.
But without his teacher today, it was definitely a sleepless night for him.
[Ding! You trigger the task, sleepless night, task requirements: survive until the next day dawn, task rewards: 500 skull coins, level +1 special reward x1]
Ryan's heart skipped a beat, and his expression quickly regained calm.
This is not a good sign.
Being able to trigger the task means that there is a high probability of encountering a huge crisis tonight.
Because this time the reward is a full 500 skull coins!
Usually, the higher the reward, the greater the crisis!
"Let's go."
Ryan grabbed the ghost baby that had already been (((;꒪ꈊ꒪;))) , picked up the boning knife, put the revolver in his pocket, and quickly returned to his small attic.
He was covered with a big blanket, holding the boning knife in his hand, with a calm expression, and closed his eyes and said:
"I hope I can spend this night safely."
...
DING——
In the dark night, a huge bell rang.
Ryan opened his eyes immediately. The bell rang meant that it was already twelve o'clock in the evening.
And at this moment, suddenly, there were bursts of rapid knocks on the outer door downstairs.
"Ryan! Open the door! I'm your teacher! An evil spirit is chasing me! Quick! Let me in..."
A series of suppressed and painful voices.
"Teacher?!"
Ryan suddenly sat up from the bed.
He suddenly picked up the boning knife and rushed to the hall.
Then he immediately saw the door shaking and heard the violent panting and suppressed painful hum outside the door.
That was his teacher's voice.
"Ryan! Quick! Quick... Open the door... I am dying..."
Ryan nodded.
He rushed to the door quickly with the boning knife.
Then he picked up the boning knife and stabbed it out from the crack of the door.
Thunk--
Scarlet blood instantly burst out from the crack of the door.
Ryan shouted: "Teacher, since you are dying, then just die outside."
"..."
"..."
A short silence.
Then the dull voice came from outside the door.
"You're not sure if I'm your teacher, and you just stabbed me?"
Thunk--
(ヾﾉ꒪ཫ꒪)--
Ryan pulled out the knife, changed the angle and stabbed it again.
"Because if I were outside, my teacher would stab me too!"
Ryan said seriously.
A brief silence.
And the next moment, there were piercing screams from outside the door, and the sound of the door slapping became more and more intense and louder, as if something was sticking to the door, trying to squeeze in frantically.
A loud click.
A bloody, almost rotten hand suddenly penetrated the door and stretched in at once.
[Ryan san value -10]
Squeak-squeak--
The hand that stretched in kept scratching the door, making a sharp and piercing sound.
"I'll eat you! I'm going to tear you into pieces and chew them bit by bit in my mouth!"
An extremely hideous voice came from outside the door.
Ryan was not panicked at all.
Pick up the boning knife.
With one cut, the hand was nailed to the door.
Suddenly, there were long, sharp and twisted howls coming from outside the door, and at the same time, scarlet blood kept seeping in along the wooden board.
For a moment, the whole hall was filled with a disgusting smell of blood.
Ryan knew.
This time, he was afraid that he would encounter some difficult evil spirits.
But Ryan was not afraid, because Ryan knew very well that the more dangerous the moment, the calmer you are, the greater the chance of survival.
Without saying a word.
Ryan quickly untied a bright red hair from his wrist.
[Evil Spirit Hair]
This was one of the rewards he got from the system during the day.
Now it came in handy.
Swish——
After the hair touched the bloody rotten hand, it quickly spread and entangled outside the door. After only a few seconds, the sharp laughter outside the door stopped abruptly.
Instead, there were waves of suffocating asthma.
It was as if something was strangled by the neck and was struggling frantically outside the door.
"It seems to be just a little ghost, not very strong."
Ryan gritted his teeth.
He grabbed the crazy long hair, quickly hung it on the beam, and then pulled hard.
Rip Rip Rip ——
The sound of flesh tearing continued to come from outside the door.
And along with the tearing sound, the frequency of the struggle of the hand nailed to the door panel became more and more intense.
Finally.
The hand slowly drooped down.
It seemed to be silent.
But Ryan did not relax at all. He pulled out the boning knife and stabbed along the crack of the door for hundreds of times. He relaxed.
One of the survival guides in this world.
[No matter whether the other party is dead or not, it's always right to chop a few more times! ]
