The anchor is dying every day [System]

Xiao Yuening took a flashlight and took a closer look at these strange potholes and marks. The marks of the potholes were extremely small, they didn't look like they were bumped, but they looked like they were gnawed by something like a mouse with their teeth.

And those dark red stains are dotted on these potholes. Some of the stains look like fingerprints. It feels like someone is in extreme pain and can't help using their own blood. Fingers, like the traces dug out by random digging on the cement pillar.

Comparing with the outline of the human figure with the white line under the pillar, the position of the head and arms is exactly opposite to the traces on the pillar.

Xiao Yuening's heart was pounding, and a not-so-good association came to his mind: Could it be that these marks were not made by mice at all, but...

"Meow—" Before he could finish thinking, Xiao Hei on Xiao Yuening's shoulder suddenly let out a sharp meow, and jumped off Xiao Yuening's shoulder.

At the same time, Xiao Yuening felt a gloomy chill over his neck, as if something was approaching quickly.This sudden change left him no time to think about it, he didn't even have time to look up to see what was above him, the hand holding the ghost blade had already swung the knife fiercely towards the top of his head.

"嗤嗤——" a strange voice sounded, and the cold air that was coming directly to his head had been forced back.

Xiao Yuening raised his head abruptly, only to see a few dark, unidentifiable strings that retracted to the ceiling the moment he was slashed.

There's something on the ceiling!

Holding the Ghost Blade in one hand, Xiao Yuening used the flashlight to shine directly on the ceiling.

However, there is nothing.

"Meow——!"

Behind him, Xiao Hei suddenly leaned down in one direction, with a ferocious expression, his cat fur all over his body, as if he was about to attack at any time.

Xiao Yuening followed the eyes of the black cat, and saw a pale shadow standing quietly behind him near the stairs.

That shadow was very weird, a strange thing that looked extremely human-like, but not human-like at the same time.

It is tall, about two meters tall; its neck is extremely long, more than twice that of a normal person; its hair is long, and its body is extremely thin; it is wearing a strange white robe made of unknown material. A pair of huge ape-like feet protrude from below; it has a long and thin head, huge eyes, and sunken cheeks on both sides, like refugees from famine, but the chin is so long that it looks like a handle... …

If it wasn't for the thing's neck being long enough, Xiao Yuening had no doubt that when it lowered its head, such a long pointed chin would directly pierce his chest.

According to legend, the ghost who came from another world through the gate of time and space turned out to be so abstract...

Seeing such a strange looking thing this time, Xiao Yuening felt more nervous in his heart.He fixed his eyes on the motionless white figure, and because he was so terrified in his heart, his hand holding the knife even began to tremble slightly, while the other hand unconsciously touched the mahogany sword quietly.

His side is ready to go.But on the other side, Bai Yingying just looked at Xiao Yuening quietly, standing there motionless.

He confronted it tensely for a few seconds, Xiao Yuening saw that it was still not moving, thought for a while, and started to go around it and go to the stairs.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he moved this time, Bai Yingying actually followed suit.

Seeing it take a step towards this side, Xiao Yuening was so nervous that he almost threw the ghost blade in his hand directly at the monster.Xiao Hei under his feet also let out a nervous growl, threatening him not to come any closer.

Fortunately, the monster did not start attacking.It looked at Xiao Yuening with its almost frighteningly large eyes, and then slowly raised a hand towards him. The palm was big and thin, like a dry old branch, and looked quite deformed.

"...You have a special aura about you." The monster's finger pointed at Xiao Yuening, its voice was thin and high-pitched, like the noise made by fingernails scratching glass, it was particularly uncomfortable to hear, "It's very annoying disgusting."

Xiao Yuening took a breath, thinking: Hateful breath?What ghosts from another world hate... Could it be the app?They can actually detect unusual things on the person behind the door?

As Xiao Yuening thought about it, his face became more and more ugly: If this is the case, then the situation is too bad. I'm afraid that every ghost he encounters in the future will regard him as a thorn in his side, even if he doesn't take the initiative to provoke him, the other party will Will actively attack.

After the monster on the opposite side finished saying that, he twitched his nose lightly and kept sniffing the air, as if he was discerning something carefully.At the same time, it stared at Xiao Yuening with a pair of sinister eyes, as if it was planning some evil idea, and said with a strange smile: "However, although you are very annoying , but the smell of the soul is very fragrant, you must taste much better than that smelly beggar..."

Xiao Yuening's heart was pounding, he held the handle of the knife even tighter, and asked: "You really killed those people? What do you want to do? Why kill them?"

"Hee hee hee..." Hearing Xiao Yuening's "stupid" question, the monster in front of him suddenly shrugged and laughed, as if he had heard such a funny joke: "Why? Of course it's because I'm hungry ah!"

Xiao Yuening also realized that he had said the wrong thing. Seeing that this monster from another world could speak human language, he subconsciously regarded it as a strange-looking creature of the same kind, and tried to communicate with it.But now it seems that these ghosts from other worlds don't regard the living people in their world as "humans" at all, but as food, ready to be slaughtered.

No wonder the APP gave hints of hunting ghosts within the system without room for negotiation. Even his father directly pointed this out in his suicide note, saying that if he wanted to close the gate, he had to kill all the ghosts guarding the gate.It turned out that all the ghosts coming out of the door were like this.

Seeing the face of the human in front of him darken, the strange-looking foreign monster showed a malicious smile again.It looked at Xiao Yuening, and said in a sharp and ugly voice: "Normally when I see a human being, I'll eat it right away, but if it's you..."

Xiao Yuening asked indifferently: "What about me?"

The monster's tiny pupils rolled in its eye sockets, and it looked at Xiao Yuening's whole body like a poisonous snake, as if he was weighing where to speak: "Your words... as long as you promise me one thing, I won't eat you .”

Is there such a good thing?

Xiao Yuening frowned. Not only did he not relax his guard because of this sentence, but he clenched the ghost blade even tighter: "What do you promise?"

The ghost in front of him raised his foot and took another step in Xiao Yuening's direction.Xiao Yuening quickly backed away in shock, and Xiao Hei also hid behind him in fright, staring vigilantly at the strange thing not far away that he had never seen before.

Seeing this, the monster stopped in its tracks, and said slowly under his defensive gaze: "As long as you are willing to give me half of your remaining lifespan, I will not eat you and let you go this time."

Divide half life?

Xiao Yuening was stunned for a moment because of the unexpected words, then his mind quickly flashed what the taxi driver said in the taxi.He said that the four migrant workers and homeless people who died all died of old age...

die of old age?

Could it be that after the monster captured these people, it used the same words to intimidate them. In order to survive, these people agreed to sacrifice half of their lives to the monster?

No, no, it is impossible to die if you donate half your life, so the claim of half your life is most likely false. This should be a lie used by monsters to deceive humans, and it is impossible for them to ask for half your life. but all.Even if they don't take all of them at once, they will try to take them in batches.

But what's the use of life for this thing?Could it be that the monsters in another world are actually lifeless?If it wants to live, it has to "borrow life" from other things?

Although it is a bit ridiculous, nothing is impossible for the mysterious and unpredictable different space.

With that sinister smile on the monster's face, he stared at Xiao Yuening without blinking, waiting for the other party's answer with confidence.

The creatures in this new world are weak and cowardly, much easier to deal with than the monsters in their other world. They only need to be frightened slightly, and they will agree to anything in order to survive, even the dirty fool two days ago .It believes that this guy in front of him will definitely agree to its request, and then it can extract a lot of life from the other person to keep itself alive.

This is the bad thing about their family. They don't have their own "shou" from birth, and they need to take it from other species.Because of this, their group became a race that was collectively hated by other ghosts and monsters in the original world.

Some powerful ghosts will even kill them without any explanation after seeing them.Those without strength will hide far away and don't want to be touched, which also makes it difficult for their family to "borrow" enough lifespan to maintain their own survival in the original world.

But now, with the existence of the gate of time and space, they can travel through space to this brand new world, where there are weak and incompetent human beings with amazing vitality, it can take enough lifespan again...
