Lan Mu suddenly understood what it meant to have ghosts lurking in the city most of the time.
The haunted places these people were going to were actually where the ghosts lurked.
Every time he gave instructions, Hei Lou would force a group of people to be sent to a certain ghost for him to play with.
And this time, Hei Lou had set his sights on Lan Mu. He actually made himself the 'ghost' in the instructions?
"Escape from my pursuit? Is that necessary? "
Lan Mu naturally wouldn't kill these people. Not only that, but he also had to protect them.
So in the next moment, he caught up with the three people and forcibly brought them back to the alley.
The three people were in despair. They didn't expect to be caught after running so far.
They didn't even see the other person's face clearly. When they came back to their senses, they saw that beautiful face in front of them.
But no matter how beautiful the face was, it was still terrifyingly beautiful to these people who had been scared out of their wits.
"Don't run too far. There's a ghost in the dark. I can't take care of you if you run around," Lan Mu said.
"There's another ghost?" The leader was stunned. They all thought that the disappearance of one person was caused by Lan Mu.
Lan Mu smiled. "There's only one ghost. That ghost instantly pulled a person into an alternate dimension. I think its goal is to slowly kill you all."
The leader calmed down and then came to a realization.
Although the instructions always made them seek death, it didn't mean that they would definitely die.
Many people had returned to Hei Lou alive. They had all discovered the chance that Hei Lou had left for them.
For example, once, the ghost's way of killing people was to pretend to be a human, but it always revealed many flaws. It would kill anyone who saw through it.
Later, everyone knew that they couldn't expose the ghost, but the ghost always did some scary things. People couldn't help but reveal a strange look, and as long as they revealed such an expression, the ghost would kill them.
So everyone ignored the ghost's flaws from beginning to end and frantically deceived themselves. Unfortunately, only one person miraculously survived in the end. Because in order to prevent himself from seeing the ghost's flaws, that person dug out his own eyes.
Another time, the location was in a residential building. The ghosts appeared and disappeared mysteriously, causing the entire building to fall into a state of panic. The civilians who did not know the truth were all killed by the ghosts. For every two civilians who died, one of the residents would die as well.
As a result, only two of the occupants survived the instruction, and they returned to the Black Tower covered with blood. When asked what had happened, they said nothing. However, everyone could see that the two had killed all the civilians in the apartment before the ghost did.
The police did not respond to the massacre of an entire building, and there was no comment from the outside world. Other than the people in the black tower, no one else in the world would remember those who had died.
It could be imagined that those who survived in the Black Tower would experience a horror every once in a while. If they survived once, there would be a second time.
No one knew when these days would come to an end.
The leader of the group was called Xiao Lan. He had already survived three times in a row, so he could be considered a veteran.
At first, he also thought that Lan Mu was a ghost, but after seeing what Lan Mu said, he realized that they had been misled by Blacktower.
The first thing they saw was a ghost, but was the beautiful woman in front of them really the first one they had seen? Perhaps they had already seen a real ghost when they were in the alley, but none of them could remember it …
Xiao Lan's words caused a wave of surprise to pass through the crowd.
Lan Mu was standing on the side, and he had already put on his mask and turned into the Kill Ball.
He pulled out his Shattering Tooth and waited for the ghost to come out and die.
However, he was thinking about Xiao Lan's words. "Will Blacktower really give these people a chance to live? What is the meaning? To give them some hope, to let them escape from death a few times before playing them to death? "
Before he finished thinking, he suddenly felt a strong sense of evil, and this evil spirit was right in front of him.
The blade slashed down as fast as lightning! However, it only hit empty air, and another person disappeared.
Needless to say, the evil spirit had attacked again, and Lan Mu had not been able to stop it! The enemy's ability was too strange.
"How could this be? The evil spirit is gone again, where is it hiding? "
Lan Mu thought about Xiao Lan's words, and suddenly asked, "Blacktower definitely wouldn't lie?"
Xiao Lan said with certainty, "Definitely! Although it is always misleading us, it is definitely the truth. "
Lan Mu thought about the instructions, Blacktower misled these people into thinking that they were ghosts, so they ran away as soon as they came out. And he obviously could not be a ghost, and it was even more impossible for him to chase after them. The real ghost that would chase after them was hidden, and according to the instructions that were definitely the truth, the ghost let them see it as soon as they came out of Blacktower, and then erased their memories of it …
But what was the point of that? The ghost was hiding in a different dimension that no one knew about, was there a need to deliberately mislead them? If they did not mislead them, would they be able to find the ghost? Why did they have to see it once and then erase their memories, wasn't that just a waste of time?
"And when they came out of the alley, I did not see the ghost … could it be that they erased my memories as well? If they had the ability, wouldn't it be better to just kill me? "
Lan Mu stared at the deep alley, it was long and narrow, and when they came out of Blacktower, they appeared directly inside, and he was standing at the entrance of the alley …
"Eh? Who said that I was the first one you saw? "
Lan Mu suddenly understood, squinting his eyes as he stared at them.
Feeling the cold gaze behind the mask, Xiao Lan felt a deep sense of fear, he even suspected that Blacktower did not mislead them, and that the guy in front of him who was a beauty one moment and a swordsman the next was a real ghost! How could humans have so many superpowers!
"The ghost is among you."
"Before you saw me, or rather, no matter who you met at the entrance of the alley, the first one you saw was definitely among you."
"Think about it carefully, your memories have not been altered at all, from the beginning to the end, the ghost was among you, walking first!"
Xiao Lan was not stupid, he was just misled into thinking, wasn't it so when he thought about it carefully?
The eight of them walked in the alley, how could the first one be Lan Mu, who was at the entrance of the alley, no matter what, it could only be one of them!
Therefore, the first one they saw was definitely one of them!
Moreover …
"You were in the situation, you did not see it as clearly as me, a bystander. You all thought that you were all people who had fallen from grace, you never thought that there would be a ghost among you, so you instinctively thought that the first person you saw at the entrance of the alley, which was me, was the ghost."
"Blacktower also never said that the first outsider you saw was a ghost, he didn't even say what the first one was … I think Blacktower meant that the first one walking in front, the first one in line, was the ghost!"
After Lan Mu finished speaking, he slashed at an ordinary-looking resident.
Everyone looked over at the same time, because that person was the one walking in front at the time!
The cyan blade slashed, and that person exploded into a black mist, his demonic aura stirred, and he instantly turned into dregs.
Then, under the mask, Lan Mu changed again, the withered hand reaching over and swallowing him clean.
The series of actions made the group of people dumbfounded.
They were reduced to residents of Blacktower, always shrouded in despair and remnant hope, always being tortured and toyed with by ghosts.
At first, they did not believe in ghosts and prayed everywhere, trying to save themselves, but everything was false, the ghosts and Blacktower were so invincible that it was terrifying.
What consecrated peach wood sword, what century-old Buddha statue, what God's holy water, they were all useless! The evil ghosts ate and drank as they pleased, but they could still play with the Buddha statue.
Even when they saw the legendary angel, everyone thought that the angel could save the world, but they also despaired that the angel could not save them.
Because when the holy light swept over here, the ghosts and Blacktower were still unharmed.
Were there supernatural powers in the world? Yes. But who could break Blacktower and save them? No!
But now, they saw with their own eyes a person holding a demonic blade and killing evil ghosts.
This person was sometimes male and sometimes female, with a dense demonic aura, like a ghost.
"Who are you? How can you kill ghosts? "Xiao Lan exclaimed.
Lan Mu put away Broken Tooth and said, "Me? Your chance of survival! "
Then he pointed at the alley and said, "The ghosts have been eliminated, after you go back, help me find a person."
After showing Luo Yan's appearance to them again, the remaining five people naturally agreed.
What was there to hesitate about, this small matter must be done well! Lan Mu saved their lives.
Although they did not know whether Lan Mu was the life arranged by Blacktower this time or the life arranged to save the lives of all the residents.
After these people saw Lan Mu's amazing strength, there was no other choice.
"You're looking for Luo Yan, right? The newcomers who just came in have to be trained by the elders to learn some tricks on how to find life in haunted places, especially when he received instructions as soon as he came in. "Xiao Lan said.
"I see, no wonder he didn't report to me immediately."
Lan Mu stared at the direction of the invisible building at the end of the alley.
"That's right, I didn't tell him about the existence of the Void Substance, he's probably still trying to get information for me inside."
Lan Mu told Xiao Lan's group: "Tell him to stop learning. What kind of bullshit tricks are you talking about, you can't even see through them as clearly as I can. The life that Blacktower gave you is just to toy with you, it's going to kill you sooner or later. Can you guarantee that you'll find a way to survive every time?"
Xiao Lan's group was speechless. They already had no chance of survival in the first place. Every time they were forced to deal with the ghosts, they barely managed to survive, but they couldn't guarantee anything at all.
Lan Mu said: "Tell Luo Yan to come out, I want to see the true face of Blacktower …"
He silently muttered: "What kind of anomaly is it?"
Author's note: Hell's Apartment is quite a good book. I've spent 6 years of my youth on this game, it's no less important than writing a web novel. This was once my passion, but of course it's gone. I've already simplified the story of this anomaly as much as possible. Regardless of whether you like it or not, there are still 2 more chapters before it ends.
