Fear Collection

Thinking back, Xie Jinxi couldn't help but feel chills all over his body. He might have stared at the ghost for a few minutes just now.

If Lin Wen hadn't called him suddenly, he might have died inexplicably like Zheng Qiongfang.

"Here, let's drink some hot tea." Li Xingsheng probably saw that his expression was wrong, and handed him a cup of hot tea.

Xie Jinxi took it after thanking her.

He recalled the layout of the bathroom when Zheng Qiongfang died. It seemed that there was a window on the opposite side of Zheng Qiongfang's body and above the sink.

In Lin Wen's words, she also mentioned the head hanging on the wall of the villa next door, and then she discovered that Zheng Qiongfang's head was also hanging on the shower.

The villa next door... the windows...

There is also the figure Chang Haocun mentioned, and the person Jiang Liu mentioned was following them...

Add to that the ghostly shadow under the tree he sees through the window...

Xie Jinxi guessed that there was indeed a ghost wandering outside the villa, an evil spirit, and it was trying to kill the people in the villa.

But now the question is, he and Chang Haocun are the ones who have seen the ghost with their own eyes. If Zheng Qiongfang also saw the ghost through the window of the opposite villa before his death, then there are three people who have seen the ghost with their own eyes. Why is Zheng Qiongfang the only one who died?

In other words, does the ghost kill people need to follow any rules?

"Brother Zhao, will ghosts be restricted or follow any rules when killing ghosts?" Xie Jinxi could only ask Zhao Jingshuo.

Zhao Jingshuo nodded, and said: "Of course, generally speaking, it is like this. Although the purpose of 'He' pulling us into each fragmented world has not been clearly stated, there are relatively accurate guesses among senior people."

"'He' wants to see us struggling to survive, wants to see us full of fear and despair. So 'He' will restrict ghosts, make restrictions or rules."

"A task like ours that requires living in a fragmented world for a specified time, often with the end of the time approaching, the restrictions on ghosts are gradually weakened, and we are more dangerous and fearful."

That's right, otherwise it doesn't make sense.

If there really were ghosts, why would ghosts play all kinds of tricks when they could kill all of them easily?

"Then it is very important to sum up the killing rules of ghosts, or understand the restrictions faced by ghosts." Xie Jinxi said.

Xie Jinxi sorted out his thoughts, briefly talked about his experience in the kitchen just now, and concluded: "There must be a ghost wandering outside the villa. One of the conditions for it to kill people must be seeing it, but seeing it is not enough." This condition, and there are other conditions. It can kill only if the other conditions are also met."

"Sure enough... Sure enough!" Jiang Liu became more and more frightened after hearing this, and there was indeed a ghost outside, "Can that ghost enter the villa? Can it? It's going to come in, isn't it hard to guard against?"

Seeing a ghost is one of the conditions for being killed. If the ghost can enter the villa, then don't open your eyes, it can always appear in various places and be seen by people.

"Can you use your brain!" Chang Haocun said violently, "If it can come in, you can still live until now? Can you still talk here?"

Indeed, Xie Jinxi felt that the ghost could not enter the villa, and could only be seen by going outside or looking outside through the window.

But the problem is that Zhao Jingshuo said that the longer the time goes by, the less restrictions on ghosts.

It can't enter the villa now, but it doesn't mean it won't be able to in the future.

It was already the afternoon of the second day, and they would stay in the villa until midnight tomorrow night.

Moreover, Xie Jinxi was very concerned about what was said in the message when he first entered the Fragmented World...

【However, they slowly discovered that they seemed to see something they shouldn't have seen. 】

Thinking about this passage reminds them not to "see", but does this so-called "shouldn't see" really just refer to the ghosts hovering outside the villa?

The other thing is... why did Lin Wen appear at the kitchen door just now.

The momentary fear he felt when he saw Lin Wen at the kitchen door even far outweighed his fear when he realized that something was wrong with that shadow.

After entering this fragmented world, they all act together, and no one has ever acted alone.

And Lin Wen just witnessed Zheng Qiongfang's death yesterday, and she claimed to hear the sound of being dragged at night. How dare she walk to the kitchen door alone.

Fortunately, Zhao Jingshuo spoke up later, maybe Zhao Jingshuo and Lin Wen came to look for them together.

But it still doesn't make sense. Since Lin Wen woke up in the morning, she has been in a state of autism, refusing to communicate with others, and she is in a daze. How could she take the initiative to find them.

Moreover, even if Zhao Jingshuo found out that they had been away for too long and wanted to call someone to find him and Li Xingsheng, Chang Haocun and Jiang Liu were both there, it is impossible for Zhao Jingshuo to choose to call Lin Wen...

The more Xie Jinxi thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He took a sip of his hot tea, looked at Zhao Jingshuo, and said, "Brother Zhao, I still want to drink coffee. Can you accompany me to find out if there is any instant coffee?"

Zhao Jingshuo was a little surprised, but quickly picked up his words and said, "Okay, I remember which cabinet was overturned, and I'll take you there."

After the two left the living room, Xie Jinxi asked, "Brother Zhao, did you take Lin Wen to find me and Li Xingsheng?"

"No." Zhao Jingshuo knew he was going to ask this question, "I came back from smoking and saw her go to the kitchen. Jiang Liu was hesitating whether to follow her, and I felt something was wrong, so I asked Chang Haocun to stay with Jiang Liu. I'm going to chase Lin Wen."

Walking to the place, after Xie Jinxi found the coffee, he said to Zhao Jingshuo: "No matter what, you should be more careful with her."

The two of them walked back after exchanging ideas tacitly. Xie Jinxi made a cup of coffee. When he picked up the coffee cup, he found that the scratches on a corner of the coffee table in the living room were gone.

what happened?

Xie Jinxi has some obsessive-compulsive disorder, but he has a deep memory of many meaningless details. On the first day, he touched the dent several times, but now it is gone.

Xie Jinxi took a sip of coffee and began to memorize some details of the living room more seriously.

The rest of the time was uneventful, but after dinner, Li Xingsheng raised one thing: "Well... let's not make a bed in the living room at night."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Jiang Liu hurriedly echoed, "This... that... Lin Wen heard that after all last night... It's not good to sleep on the floor, let's sleep in separate rooms."

"Look at us now, we happen to be in the same room, right?"

Chang Haocun also looked at Zhao Jingshuo and said, "I don't think there is really any need to make a floor in the living room."

If there are ghosts crawling on the ground at night, no one wants to be crawled over by ghosts.

"Alright." Since three of the four people who slept on the ground insisted not to make the floor, after thinking about it, he could only do so.

"I share a room with Brother Zhao!" Seeing that Zhao Jingshuo agreed, Jiang Liu immediately declared that he wanted to share a room with Zhao Jingshuo.

Li Xingsheng was a little annoyed, Jiang Liu was ahead of him one after another.He looked at Xie Jinxi, who had a gentle appearance and a thin body, and Lin Wen, who had a pale face and was neither human nor ghost, and said immediately, "Then I will share the room with little brother Chang."

Xie Jinxi also bumped into a ghost this afternoon, who knows if that ghost will come to him at night.

Not to mention Lin Wen, after seeing Zheng Qiongfang's death, she was so frightened that she appeared at the kitchen door in the afternoon.Let the two of them fight poison with poison, and don't harm him again.

Li Xingsheng didn't care at all that Xie Jinxi and Lin Wen were thin and weak, and one of them was not in a good state of mind, getting weaker and weaker. What would happen if they encountered any danger at night, anyway, a dead fellow Taoist never dies.

Xie Jinxi saw that Jiang Liu and Li Xingsheng had a firm attitude, Zhao Jingshuo and Chang Haocun did not object, and Lin Wen did not say a word, and could only accept this assignment.

At least... He and Lin Wen slept on the same sofa last night, and nothing happened.

Lin Wen saved him once in the kitchen in the afternoon...

Let's hope nothing happens tonight.

Knowing the approximate time to turn off the lights, a few of them went to the bathroom of the master bedroom to wash up hastily, and went to bed early to lie down.

Since Xie Jinxi and Lin Wen shared the same room, Jiang Liu took one of the two chargers away, and Xie Jinxi asked Lin Wen if she wanted to use the remaining one.

Lin Wen looked at him and shook his head slowly, opened his mouth and said two words: "Sleep."

People just have to listen to persuasion, Xie Jinxi put the phone on the bedside and plugged it into the charger to charge it up, then lay on the bed and started to feel sleepy.

Originally, the temperature in the room was neither too cold nor too hot, but Xie Jinxi also felt a little cold last night. Just in case, he left the big quilt for Lin Wen.He dug out a thick blanket from the closet and put it on his legs to get ready to sleep.

He finished digesting the cup of coffee early in the afternoon, and because he often drank coffee, he became somewhat resistant to sex, so it was easy for him to fall asleep at night.

It's just that it's still a light sleep, and I can't sleep well no matter how I sleep.

In the ups and downs of broken and chaotic dreams, Xie Jinxi felt more and more cold.

He became slightly awake, it was really not his illusion, it was really getting colder and colder.

Originally, he could sleep without a quilt, but now he felt cold in his hands and feet, as if his limbs were about to freeze.

Xie Jinxi still remembers that "seeing" is an important condition for ghosts to kill people. Although he was a little sober, he did not open his eyes.

With his eyes closed, he touched the thick blanket covering his legs, and slowly pulled it up, covering himself completely.

In the darkness and silence, Xie Jinxi suddenly heard that dragging sound.

cluck...

cluck... cluck...

It is also occasionally mixed with the crunching sound of wooden floors.

What exactly is this?

Or... what?

In the darkness, Xie Jinxi couldn't help but suspect that the thing that made the sound...was crawling towards him and Lin Wen based on the magnitude and direction of the sound.

Xie Jinxi remembered that he closed the bedroom door before going to bed, but he didn't hear the door opening, which proved that the thing had no substance.

Most likely it was indeed a ghost.

So this ghost...is it the ghost wandering outside the villa, or...is there another ghost in the villa?

cluck... cluck...

It's really crawling towards the bed!

Xie Jinxi felt creepy.

The surrounding temperature dropped again, and he felt so cold that his body was almost frozen.

He didn't dare to move, didn't dare to open his eyes, and didn't dare to make a sound. He even lowered the frequency and sound of his breathing as much as possible, and he didn't dare to move, lying on the bed like a corpse.

Listening to the approaching sound, I wondered where the ghost was.

At the end of the bed, or...

bedside?
