Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
The torrential rain showed no signs of stopping and would continue until the end of the incident.
On the muddy mountain road.
A woman in red with messy black hair completely ignored the torrential rain and walked toward an abandoned tiled house.
When she arrived at the door of the tiled house …
Whoosh! She grabbed a kitchen knife in her hand and walked into the room with full vigilance.
Her eyes seemed to have a certain level of night vision and could see everything in the dark tiled house.
She carefully searched every corner of the tiled house and was ready to use the kitchen knife to cut down the enemies blocking her way.
After completing a comprehensive inspection and confirming that there was no danger.
She returned to the hall and squatted beside Han Dong whose neck had been cut open. Her red lips whispered in his ear:
"She's gone."
After she finished speaking.
A large number of mycelium grew out from Han Dong's neck and reconnected with the body.
[Head Body Separation Experiment]
On the first night when he arrived at the scene of the incident, Han Dong had secretly conducted this' experiment 'in his room. He used a sharp knife he bought to make a small cut in the neck area.
The 'Faceless Head' could quickly grow mycelium (tentacles) to connect the wound and heal it quickly.
Of course, such a wound connection was limited to the head and body. It couldn't be done on other parts.
This was because Han Dong's real body was only the 'Faceless Head' that occupied 100 points of weight.
As for Warren Nicholas's weak body, it was only temporarily borrowed.
As long as the head and cell mass weren't hurt, Han Dong wouldn't die.
Using this characteristic, coupled with the collected information and the 'side event' that was accidentally activated.
During the third day, Han Dong, who didn't leave the house, spent a lot of effort to set up an extremely complicated 'game'.
This game required a large number of 'gears' to maintain.
If any 'gear' was missing, loose, or failed to turn at the moment it should turn, it would cause problems for the overall situation.
Among them, the most important 'gear' was the 'Bewitched Chen Li'.
And what Han Dong didn't expect was that Chen Li's' gear 'was more special than he imagined … Chen Li's uniqueness made the overall situation more stable.
Then, the most important part of the plan was successfully realized.
After Han Dong confirmed that Akaman was an evil spirit, he immediately ordered Chen Li to take action.
Chen Li, who was disguised as an evil spirit, took the initiative to chase after Edward and Monica.
It made Edward think that the evil spirit was looking for him.
Edward, who was very familiar with the rules of concealment, would definitely kill the blonde girl to buy time. Even if Edward didn't kill her, Chen Li would do it herself.
The reason for this was so that the time of Monica's death would coincide with the time of Han Dong's' suicide '.
Han Dong had already obtained information about the 'killing restriction' from Akaman. As long as someone in the team died, Akaman would receive the corresponding information.
Therefore, the evil spirit would never have any doubts about Han Dong's suicide.
…
His head was reattached to his body.
Han Dong heaved a sigh of relief and revealed a rare smile.
"I've finally reached this step!
My guess was correct. Evil spirits were indeed restricted … and the most basic restriction was time.
However, this restriction will continue to weaken in the last few hours. It might even be unrestricted.
Let's leave it at that … Let's hurry back to the bungalow. "
Han Dong supported himself against the wall and slowly got up.
He was prepared to use the time when the evil spirit was unable to harm others to successfully return to the bungalow and cooperate with the people involved in the incident to carry out the final plan.
Unexpectedly, Chen Li stood at the entrance of the tiled house's bedroom. She extended her arm and pointed at a certain spot.
It seemed that she had accidentally discovered something when she entered the house to search for the evil spirit's existence.
"An underground secret passage?!"
He moved away the old wooden bed Chen Li pointed at and lifted the carpet at the bottom.
It revealed a pitch-black and deep secret passage.
"There are still seven and a half hours left before the incident ends … Edward and I are the only survivors left.
The evil spirit's' time interval between harming others' shouldn't be too short. It should be at least three hours.
Chen Li, let's go down and take a look. "
Intuition.
"There might be an unexpected gain down here … If there's nothing, we can still return to the bungalow immediately."
If time permitted.
Han Dong stepped on the wet stairs. Under the illumination of the flashlight, he accidentally discovered this mysterious cellar.
"Let me walk in front."
While descending, Chen Li took the initiative to walk in front of Han Dong with a kitchen knife in her hand, in case there was any danger in the cellar … It felt like she was protecting her master.
Moss, rats, insects, and a rotten smell.
When Han Dong stepped down the last step, the familiar system's voice sounded.
[Hidden area discovered — Cellar of Corruption]
[Please search for clues in this area to activate the corresponding event … Time limit: 15 minutes.]
"Another unexpected gain!"
The corners of Han Dong's mouth curled up, revealing an excited smile.
The first time, a side event was activated by talking to the people involved in the incident. This time, it was the discovery of a hidden area. As for what would be gained, he still had to find clues.
It took him about ten minutes to complete a detailed exploration of the cellar.
He dug out a notebook from the ground in a corner where there were traces of loose soil.
In it, there was a scribbled record of Kyuzhou's language — "The plague ravaged the area, causing the local tourist attractions to be forcibly relocated. The area of Prince Gang was turned into a barren mountain."
"The tourist attractions were relocated, and all the farmhouses were abandoned. Even the villages and farmhouses were abandoned … So this place was once plagued by the plague?"
Chen Li, who was at the side, said, "My brother and I are not residents of Wangzigang. We only know that there was a plague in this area and it was deserted. We purposely found an abandoned farmhouse and pretended to live here to lure Wang Po and his wife here."
"Hmm …"
Han Dong continued reading the diary.
The latter part of the diary recorded the internal affairs of this family of five — the process of the whole family slowly dying due to the plague. When he finished reading, a family photo fell out.
[Hidden event activated: House of Pestilence]
Requirement: Kill a living plague victim x5
Reward: A Destiny Item (Matched to Host's level).
As soon as the system notification ended, the soil in the cellar loosened on a large scale. One after another, deformed arms that were full of holes reached out of the soil and slowly crawled out of the ground.
Five living plague victims crawled out of the ground, matching the five in the family photo.
They had been dead for a long time, and had reappeared through the power granted by the plague and the Destiny Realm. They were not humans, but just a bunch of unconscious lifeforms controlled by the bacteria.
"Han Dong … Leave these guys to me."
"Okay."
Han Dong's body was not in a state where he could fight these plague victims. Not to mention whether he would be killed, it would be troublesome if he were to be infected.
Of course, Han Dong would not just sit back and watch the show.
His backpack contained the 'special items' he had bought in the countryside before the incident began.
Two bottles of cheap, low-quality liquor with extremely high alcohol content, and several cheap plastic lighters.
