chapter 82 - The Third World (18)
As the door opened, a strong and extremely yin energy rushed towards them.
Chen Yanli, who was standing at the front, had a layer of white frost on his eyelashes in an instant.
The paper people shuddered and changed their formation to block Officer Liu and Lu Yuanyou behind them.
They released their own ghost energy to cover up the clean and pure breath of living people on them.
The living dead who had been scratching the door frantically turned their heads to look at the people outside the door.
There was no light in the house, and the lights in the corridor on the fifth floor flickered.
There was a scarlet light flashing in the eyes of the living dead. At a glance, the door was densely packed with red eyes.
They were men and women. They were doctors, teachers, policemen, restaurant owners, and delivery riders.
The fresh and rosy faces had become pale and shriveled, like skeletons wrapped in skin.
Chen Yanli grew up in a temple. When he was young, he was brought to the donor dormitory by his master and watched the production process of the living dead with his own eyes.
They would lock the living in a coffin, then hang the coffin up and put a bowl of water underneath.
When the person locked inside was suffocated to death, the soul with strong resentment could not leave the coffin or the body.
As time passed, the soul would return to the body, and the living dead would be produced.
The most difficult thing about the living dead is not how powerful they are.
It is that their bodies have died and cannot be killed. The soul is hidden in their own body, and ordinary spell attacks have no effect on them at all.
They will not die or get tired, and no matter how powerful a person is, they will be exhausted to death by them.
So Chen Yanli did not plan to fight them hard at the beginning.
When the two sides met, the living dead smelled the breath of living people and immediately ran towards Chen Yanli in the front with stiff steps.
The paper man and Lu Yuanyou and others moved aside and hid behind the wooden door.
Chen Yanli took out Officer Liu's squirting gun and squirted at the living dead.
The black dog blood inside had long been replaced by Officer Liu's blood.
The blood dripped onto the faces of the living dead, and the rich and pure breath of the living instantly aroused their ferocity.
Chen Yanli stepped forward, squirting water while retreating.
At the same time, he pressed the volume button on his phone to play the canned laughter that had been downloaded in advance in a loop.
The blood of the living, the laughter of the living.
These are fatal temptations to the living dead.
At this time, Chen Yanli has become a piece of fat meat with an alluring aroma.
The living dead gradually put Dahe Guangming's orders behind their heads and no longer gathered behind the door on the fifth floor to act as meat shields.
When Chen Yanli squirted blood again, the living dead were completely boiling.
They howled and rushed out of the door, desperately stretching their arms to grab the food in front of them.
Dahe Guangming can command these zombies, and Chen Yanli cannot be too far away from them.
If the smell of food is not enough, these zombies will return to the door again.
Dahe Guangming is on guard, and it will not be so easy to trick the zombies out again.
Chen Yanli stepped on the Taoist Gang step, holding the Buddhist rosary in his left hand and the water gun given by the police in his right hand.
This hodgepodge is surprisingly harmonious and useful for him.
The tall and thin figure is extremely flexible, always keeping a half-arm distance from the zombies in front.
No matter how the zombies stretch their arms or how they speed up their pace, they can't touch his monk robes.
Officer Liu and Lu Yuanyou hid in the gap between the door and the wall, relying on paper figures to hide their smell.
Their task was to wait for Chen Yanli and the little rabbit fairy to attract most of the living dead and ghosts in the house, and then run into the house under the cover of the paper man.
One person went to the study to set fire and quickly identify which book was the true body of Dahe Guangming.
One person went to pick up the rosary of the president of the Buddhist Association as quickly as possible. Check if the old monk was still breathing and whether he could help them.
After entering the house, there were several possible situations. They had to choose the corresponding plan according to the development of the scene.
The two read the process given by Chen Yanli several times to make sure they remembered it by heart.
But no one told him before coming that there were so many living dead behind the door.
With Chen Yanli's enticement, the corridor on the fifth floor, which was empty just now, was already crowded with living dead.
And the living dead inside the door were still walking out in an endless stream.
Seeing that Chen Yanli had reached the end of the corridor, there was no way back.
Officer Liu patted the paper figure Xiaohong in front of him and asked it with his eyes what to do now.
The paper figure made a gesture.
She said that a small part of the zombies in front of her were illusions and fake.
The next second, Officer Liu understood what Xiaohong meant.
Chen Yanli was surrounded by several zombies, and countless hands with sharp nails grabbed him.
He flashed nimbly and rushed directly to the direction of one of the zombies. He stepped on the Gang step and went straight through the body of the man.
Monk Fachen was moving around in the zombies, and Officer Liu's hair stood up.
If Chen Yanli made a mistake in judgment, took a wrong step or took a step slower, he would be eaten alive.
The footsteps going out had not stopped, half of them were real zombies, and half were illusions.
The voice of the ink man kept coming from outside, and the interval between killings had changed from four minutes to two minutes.
Until now, orders have been issued every minute.
According to the little rabbit fairy, they only have fifteen minutes.
Since Dahe Guangming did not block the signal, it means that the sacrifice ceremony he arranged for the ink man is likely to last forty minutes in total.
This is the time when the police received the alarm call and dispatched police forces to arrive at Dahe Guangming Temple as soon as possible.
Forty minutes ago, if Dahe Guangming was eliminated, some tourists outside might still survive.
After more than forty minutes, the chances of tourists surviving are very slim, and Dahe Guangming will also find a chance to escape.
————
Time passed by minute by minute, and Officer Liu's forehead gradually broke out in fine cold sweat.
How big is the room behind this door? Ten minutes have passed, why haven't the zombies inside the door left yet?
From Officer Liu's perspective, he can see Monk Fachen still walking among the zombies.
This corridor can be seen to the end at a glance, and it is obviously not long. But after ten minutes, Monk Fachen is still far away from him.
Officer Liu felt vaguely that something was wrong.
He carefully took out his phone and sent a message to Lu Yuanyou, whom he had just added as a friend.
He didn't know if it was because of the bad network or what, but the message couldn't be sent.
He pushed the paper figure Xiaohong in front of him.
Xiaohong, who had always been very enthusiastic about him before, didn't turn her head no matter how he pushed her.
Officer Liu realized that something was wrong.
He took out the rosary he had asked for from the monk and wanted to solve the problem at hand.
As soon as he got the rosary, he felt that it didn't feel right.
When he looked down, what he was holding in his hand was not a rosary, but a string of human eyeballs.
At the same time, the paper figure Xiaohong, who had been facing away from him, turned around suddenly.
The eyes she drew with black ink turned into two blood holes.
The mouth drawn with black lines slowly opened, making a sharp and piercing cry.
"What you are holding is my eyes?"
After all, this was Officer Liu's first time dealing with a supernatural event, so he didn't have much experience.
He subconsciously threw the eyeballs in his hand at Xiao Hong.
'Pah--'
The eyeballs didn't touch Xiao Hong, but Officer Liu suddenly felt a sharp pain on his face.
It was like someone slapped him hard.
Before Officer Liu could react, he was hit on the top of his head again.
With one slap, the scene around Officer Liu changed instantly.
The sound of footsteps and the shouting of the ink man disappeared. The ferocious and bleeding Xiao Hong in front of him turned into Chen Yanli's slender white palm.
The eyeballs in Officer Liu's hand turned into the rosary of a great monk again.
Chen Yanli, who was supposed to be attracting the living dead, came to his hiding place at some point.
He was holding the rosary in one hand ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) and protecting the frightened paper man Xiao Hong behind him. He pressed his crown with one hand and silently chanted the formula.
A sizzling sound came from the monk Fachen's hand.
Officer Liu was stunned and quickly took back the rosary.
Chen Yanli withdrew his hand expressionlessly, ignoring the wounds burned by the rosary, and turned away quickly.
Officer Liu looked at the paper man beside him, "What's going on?"
Xiaohong was almost burned to death by the rosary, and her face was full of surviving a disaster.
"The little rabbit fairy said that Dahe Guangming must have a real problem. He was beaten to the doorstep and couldn't come out to fight. He could only command the ghosts sealed in the donor's dormitory to go out and fight for him."
"Just now, Fachen tricked most of the living dead out, and some of the ghosts were also led away by the little rabbit fairy. Dahe Guangming may have felt threatened and activated the six dust formation in the temple."
While Xiaohong was talking, another snapping sound came from not far away.
It was Chen Yanli who was waking up Lu Yuanyou.
Hearing the familiar sound, Officer Liu's face, which had been slapped, suddenly began to hurt.
He hissed and raised his hand to cover his face.
When Xiaohong mentioned the Six Dust Formation, her expression suddenly became complicated.
Officer Liu asked her why she didn't continue.
Xiao Hong lowered her voice, "The Fa Chen in the Six Dust Formation represents the influence of the outside world on human consciousness. Just now, the Great Harmony Light relied on stimulating the Fa Chen to influence the consciousness of you and Sister Bing, causing you to have hallucinations."
"Fa Chen... Fa Chen?"
"Yes, Monk Fa Chen represents Fa Chen. If you want to completely avoid being affected by the Six Dust Formation, you must kill Monk Fa Chen and destroy the Fa Chen Formation Eye. Moreover, he is the main formation eye in the Six Dust Formation, the most critical core of the formation."
Xiao Hong paused and sighed softly, "So when Fa Chen got rid of the living dead, he looked back and saw that you and Sister Bing were controlled by Fa Chen and almost killed the paper man, and his eyes turned red."
"I think he must feel quite guilty."
Officer Liu's face suddenly darkened, and he no longer spoke in a soft voice.
"What is he guilty of? Did he want to be the center of the formation? This is Dahe Guangming's fault. What does it have to do with him?"
"He can obviously drive the ghosts in the house, but he uses the magic dust to control us. Dahe Guangming is trying to alienate our team. Xiaohong, we must not be fooled."
The corridor is not very wide. Even if Officer Liu lowered his voice, everyone present could still vaguely catch it.
Yu Tong, who was lying on the ground, raised his head and glanced over here.
Chen Yanli's hand on Lu Yuanyou's head trembled slightly for a moment.
He lowered his eyelids to cover the emotions in his eyes. He continued to mobilize the power in his body to help Lu Yuanyou regain consciousness.
At the same time, the prompt sound came again in the system space.
[Deviation value detected plus 3 points, the current deviation value of Chen Yanli's character is: 64/100]
The latest novel is first published in 69 Shu Bar!
[Deviation value detected plus 1 point, the current deviation value of Yu Tong's character is: 56/100]
————
After getting rid of the influence of Fa Chen, Officer Liu can see the correct time.
It was less than three minutes before they opened the door. They still had twelve minutes left, which should be enough to kill Dahe Guangming.
Officer Liu cheered up again.
As soon as he walked around Xiaohong and walked out, he saw a bunch of dense holes appearing on the originally flat corridor.
Through the holes that were one person wide, he could see the corridor on the fourth floor and the zombies who fell downstairs.
The holes disappeared quickly, and in just a few seconds, the corridor returned to flatness again.
Two minutes ago, Chen Yanli led most of the living dead in the house to the corridor.
Yu Tong found the right time and used the identity card of the three rabbit bosses to open the rabbit hole in the corridor.
The big prop of the rabbit boss was originally only used to escape, but in the building, it has other uses.
While Chen Yanli was busy opening the hole, with the help of the paper man, he temporarily drove away the ghosts chasing the rabbits.
The ghosts that can be sealed in the donor's dormitory are not easy to deal with.
Fortunately, they are different from the living dead. Part of their power has been absorbed by the Great Harmony Light.
At present, each of them is very weak, and their strength is about the same as that of ordinary people outside.
It is not a dead end at present, and Chen Yanli has not been forced to use his last trump card.
After several fights, Chen Yanli used up all the prayer beads he brought with him.
There are too many ghosts and they are too difficult to deal with.
They would float up after falling downstairs, and it would be time-consuming to kill them one by one.
In the end, he could only use the method of the Little Rabbit Fairy, using the Rabbit Old Three props to create a field of dead rabbits.
Chen Yanli relied on the formation to lead the evil spirits into the empty shells of the dead rabbits. He sealed them temporarily and barely solved the trouble here.
Those evil spirits could break free from the rabbits at any time, and several of them had already stuck out half of their bodies.
The sharp cries of ghosts filled the entire corridor.
Dahe Guangming, who had been hiding in the room, seemed to realize that something was wrong and stopped driving the evil spirits out.
After two full seconds, no evil spirits flew out.
Yu Tong reacted quickly.
At such a critical moment, he didn't distract himself from pretending to be a cute little rabbit.
While facing the door, he used the "Little Flying Rabbit is coming!" ’
While squeaking and shouting, "He's going to close the door, go in quickly!"
Several paper figures immediately carried Officer Liu in.
Lu Yuanyou had wanted to leave a long time ago, but an old ghost bypassed the sight of the little rabbit fairy and the monk Fachen and got into the wall behind her.
The old ghost attacked from behind and strangled the paper figure responsible for protecting her.
One hand covered her mouth to prevent her from calling for help. One hand strangled her waist and desperately sucked the yang energy from her body.
The black door was closing, and Chen Yanli stepped on the Gang step to hold the wooden doors on both sides with force, so that the paper figures could fly in with tools in time.
The six dust formation was activated, causing Lu Yuanyou and Officer Liu to be affected by Fachen and failed to enter the door in time as originally planned.
Chen Yanli had also thought of this situation, but he had no way to solve it.
He himself was Fachen, and only by killing him could he ensure that he would not be affected by Fachen.
The paper man dragging the heavy oil tank had already entered the door.
Yu Tong, who had rushed in first, held the rosary given by Officer Liu in his mouth and fought with the evil spirits in the house.
The sound of the paper man fighting with the living dead, and the burning sound of the rosary burning the evil spirits, completely covered up Lu Yuanyou's already vague call for help.
Chen Yanli stared at the battlefield and quickly swept his eyes across the living room.
Lu Yuanyou, Officer Liu, Little Rabbit Fairy, Paper Man Xiaohong, Xiaolan, Xiaofen, Xiaohei, Little Rainbow...
Names flashed through his mind one by one, overlapping with the people in the house.
After making sure that everyone had entered, Chen Yanli was about to go in.
The next moment, the high-pitched squeak of the Little Rabbit Fairy suddenly came from the door.
Xiaohong was stunned, "Mr. Rabbit said this is not the real soldier sister, Lu Yuanyou in the room is fake! Xiaobai, the paper man who was responsible for protecting her, is also missing!"
Chen Yanli paused and turned to look behind him.
The corridor was empty, no one was there.
He clearly remembered that Lu Yuanyou brushed past him before.
With his strength, it is impossible not to distinguish between illusion and reality.
Wait, the Six Dust Formation.
The Lu Yuanyou he saw was the Dharma Dust affecting his consciousness.
Hearing Xiaohong's shout, Lu Yuanyou, who was trapped behind the door, suddenly stood up.
She took out the yellow talisman with her backhand and used the method taught by Chen Yanli. She pinched the formula to activate the power, and a talisman paper slapped on the old ghost's arm.
The old ghost felt pain and the hand covering his mouth loosened.
Lu Yuanyou immediately shouted: "I'm behind the door, Fachen, I'm here!"
As an evil ghost that can break through the blockade of Rabbit Fairy and Chen Yanli, even if the old ghost's power is sucked away by the Great Harmony Light, his strength is much higher than other evil ghosts.
Lu Yuanyou just stepped on after entering the spiritual world, she was forced to learn a few spells. She had no energy in her body and was no match for the old ghost.
Inside the house, there were sounds of partners fighting with enemies, and outside, the order of the ink man forcing tourists to kill came again.
Lu Yuanyou, whose mouth was covered and unable to move, had red eyes.
She was not afraid of being killed by ghosts. She was afraid that because of her mistakes, the plan would fail and Chen Yanli and the others would all die in the hands of Dahe Guangming. The souls of those tourists were sucked away by the ritual, and they could not even go to the underworld after death.
Lu Yuanyou gritted his teeth and desperately pasted the yellow talisman on the old ghost's arm.
The old ghost originally planned to suck the yang energy in her body, but he didn't expect her to resist so violently that it was inconvenient to eat.
The hand that was holding Lu Yuanyou's waist changed to her neck and pinched her neck tightly.
Lu Yuanyou struggled fiercely and kicked hard on the door in front of him.
With a bang, the wooden door was suddenly pulled open.
Chen Yanli, whose consciousness was affected by Fachen, successfully found Lu Yuanyou's position based on the sound of kicking the door just now.
He slapped the empty wall behind the door hard, and his pale, bloody palm slapped directly on the old ghost's face.
The old ghost screamed, let go of Lu Yuanyou and turned to run.
Lu Yuanyou covered his neck and coughed violently. He had no time to entangle with the old ghost and rushed straight into the house.
When he passed by the monk Fachen, he hit him hard.
Chen Yanli swayed along with her force and caught the old ghost who was running away. He hit him with a palm with the power that had been accumulated for a long time.
The Fachen formation was managed and maintained by the Moshui people. In addition, Fachen was the main eye of the formation, so it was very laborious to operate. Chen Yanli quickly broke free from the influence of Fachen.
At the moment when his consciousness returned to reality, he heard the shouts of Lu Yuanyou and Xiaohong coming from the gate.
"Thank you, Master Fachen!"
"You were calling the roll just now? You remembered the names of all the paper figures. My God, no one ever cares what we are called... Fuck! You attacked me, do you know who my father is? When you go to the underworld, you will have a hard time!"
Listening to the noisy voice inside, Chen Yanli inexplicably felt that the things weighing on his heart seemed to have dispersed a little.
————
The system space has been reporting reminders, with reminders of Yu Tong's data growth and Chen Yanli's reminders.
Yu Tong didn't even check the time.
Dahe Guangming is very cunning. Although he can't move the old monk trapped here, he knows that the only thing that can threaten him here is the old monk's rosary.
Even if the living dead and evil ghosts in the house were mostly driven away by them. The most important old monk is still surrounded by three layers of ghosts inside and outside.
Yu Tong held a rosary in his mouth and flashed back and forth among the living dead with the words "Little Flying Rabbit is coming!".
He used the power of the rosary to force the living dead back and forcibly opened a path.
The paper people rushed into the evil ghosts and fought with the weakened evil ghosts. From time to time, paper people were torn into pieces, and paper pieces flew all over the sky like snowflakes.
This was the worst possibility among the several possibilities predicted by Chen Yanli and Yu Tong.
Chen Yanli grabbed Officer Liu and Lu Yuanyou and led them to form a simple formation.
This formation required the Taoist steps and Buddhist scriptures, which was one of the specialties of Dahe Guangming Temple.
Officer Liu and the other person barely memorized the scriptures, but their steps were very unfamiliar.
They could only advance towards the old monk at a snail's pace under the leadership of Chen Yanli.
Yu Tong felt that this was not a solution. The speed of the formation was much slower than he expected.
He gritted his teeth and hardened his heart. He looked past the layers of zombies in front of him and aimed at the old monk in the innermost. A little flying rabbit flashed over.
The little white rabbit figure swooped out from the spot and crashed into the golden light shield around the old monk before the zombies could react.
Yu Tong rolled to the ground, spit out the rosary in his mouth, and stretched out his head to grab the nearest rosary.
As soon as the rabbit tooth touched the rosary, he suddenly felt a line of sight falling on him.
At the same time, the system's horrified voice came from his mind, [Damn, this old monk is not dead, he opened his eyes! ]
