Large and small white candles burned here, and the candlelight filled the entire secret room.
The seemingly weak wooden walls were covered with faintly glowing talismans.
The moment Han Dong stepped into the safe house, his slightly nervous mood and sense of danger dissipated at the same time.
The remaining "curse corrosion" on the surface of his body also slowly recovered under the candlelight.
In addition, the safe house also had a very eye-catching "device," which was similar to an empty shrine.
There were four completely different black candles on the top of the shrine, and two of them were lit.
"Nicholas, did you collect any" clues "? Count found an important clue in the attic, and based on careful observation, he decisively analyzed that the safe house is located in the attic. "
Count raised his head and quietly waited for the praise he deserved.
Unfortunately, Han Dong's attention was attracted by the empty shrine.
"What is the use of this shrine?"
Sally immediately added, "That's right.
"We have already tested it. Once a" clue item "is placed in it, it will be automatically absorbed by the shrine.
Every time an item is used, one of the black candles on the shrine will light up correspondingly.
Count and I have each found a clue item, do you have one here? "
"Good luck, I just collected two clues here … I don't know what will happen when all the black candles on the shrine are lit up."
So far, the clue items were as follows:
"Hanging rope," "black jade pendant," "blood-stained black hair," and "lollipop."
As Han Dong put the rope and the jade pendant into the shrine, they immediately disintegrated in the form of light spots … The remaining two black candles slowly burned into a gloomy flame.
As all four black candles were lit up, their burning speed increased exponentially.
Even the bright candlelight was temporarily suppressed.
When the black candles were completely burned out, the light was restored … There was a diary in the shrine that was emitting black smoke.
"Is this the key item that can lead to the" Box of Resentment "?"
When Han Dong reached out to touch the diary, he immediately received a related system notification:
"Key clue — [Cursed Diary], this clue is only available when the number of ladybugs = 4.
After successfully activating the clue, the haunted house will return to its' past time 'and the individual might find information related to the' Box of Resentment 'during that period of time.]
"Once upon a time?
Was it referring to the time when it first became a haunted house, or when? Could it be directly related to that crooked tree?
This diary should be able to help us get to the bottom of this haunted house. The reason for its formation should be related to the Box of Resentment … or rather, every haunted house here is related to it.
This way, no matter which haunted house we go to, the final result will point to the box. This is in line with the nature of fairness and progression. "
Han Dong's first suspicion was the crooked tree. After all, it could even absorb an evil spirit under [3] difficulty.
"The difficulty of this special event is truly terrifying.
Under the condition that the number of ladybugs = 4, there was a chance to obtain information about the Box of Grudge through the Cursed Diary.
If he wanted to obtain the "Box of Resentment", did he need to have 5 ladybugs? What was the setting of the safe house?
… Let's not delve too deeply into it for now. Let's deal with the diary first. "
"Nicholas, what are we going to do now?"
"Since we have all the clues and received clear instructions, there's no need to go out for a walk.
If the number of ladybugs reaches [5] in the next change, staying outside might be life-threatening … When the number of ladybugs reaches [4], we'll go out directly. "
"Okay."
Sally was quite satisfied to be able to stay in the same room with Han Dong … Of course, Count was a bit of an eyesore.
"Count, you should also take a break. Thank you for finding the safe house."
The count wagged his tail and reluctantly accepted the praise after a long pause.
"In that case, I, Count, will not disturb you and Miss Sally."
The blood that represented Count separated from the arm and returned to Han Dong's body.
Without Count's control, the arm returned to its original state and hung on Han Dong's back together with the chainsaw.
"Sally, how do you feel in the destiny dimension?"
"It's fun! It's completely different from our world. There are a lot of things I've never seen before. Various creatures follow their own set of development rules.
This kind of level suppression game was not very fun at first, but the more I play, the more interesting it is.
The sense of crisis is endless, and I can experience the rapid growth … I like it. "
"That's good. I'll take you to play something else in the future."
"Okay! By the way, you said you'll take me to watch a movie. Remember to come with me. "
"Okay."
However, not long after the two started to be alone.
The bracelet vibrated, and the display panel of the bracelet began a countdown of "one minute." According to the rules of the game, such a reminder would only be given when the highest difficulty level was about to arrive.
"[5] is coming. Fortunately, we didn't go out."
Han Dong and Sally were a little nervous.
They had played many games, and they had never encountered the number of ladybugs of [5]. This was a special game that was even more dangerous. Even with the safe house setting, they still felt uneasy.
"It's coming!"
The moment the countdown ended.
Several talismans stuck to the safe house detached themselves, and the candlelight was gradually suppressed and flickered. However, the overall situation was still stable.
"What's this wailing sound?"
Han Dong pressed his ear to the surface of the wooden door.
Due to the excellent isolation effect of the safe house, he could only vaguely hear a strange wailing sound. There was a high probability that it was not man-made.
Thud!
Suddenly.
A series of leather footsteps came, ignoring the isolation effect of the safe house. It was loud and heavy, and it even made Han Dong's eardrums tingle.
"Leather footsteps?" Han Dong quickly moved his ear away from the door and stepped back to stand with Sally.
The other party was wandering around the haunted house.
Every time the leather footsteps sounded, there was a feeling of stepping on the surface of Han Dong's heart. Its existence made all evil spirits retreat.
Sally also gently grabbed Han Dong's arm. Wool drilled out from her pores and stood up.
"Nicholas, if we encounter this thing, we might really die."
"Hmm … What a strong sense of oppression!"
While Han Dong felt the oppression, there was also a kind of excitement. The madness in his body kept surging, and it even urged Han Dong to open the door to see the situation outside.
Of course, he could not do such a stupid thing.
Slowly, through the sound of leather footsteps, he could tell that the other party had left the haunted house and was walking on the street of the activity area.
"It's not a unique product of this haunted house, but the ultimate evil spirit of the entire activity area?"
Waiting.
[Number of ladybugs = 5] lasted for a full two hours. Every assassin hiding in the safe house was in a state of high tension.
Han Dong could not help but be puzzled.
"It lasts for so long? Is it random, or did the system specifically give it a longer time … "
【5】→【2】
The difficulty changed.
"Sally, let's go … [2] is not enough to threaten us. Let's go to a more suspicious area and wait for [4] to come."
They left the safe house and went to the "crooked tree" on the first floor.
When the number of ladybugs was [2], the evil spirit would only move in a fixed area. As long as they did not get close, they would not be attacked.
At the same time, there were also some inherent curses set on the building. Triggering the curse would attract the evil spirit … For example, putting a videotape into a TV or putting a toy back into a storage box, etc.
When the two arrived at the courtyard on the first floor.
There was a long-haired woman waving at them from the window on the second floor.
