In the basement, the pained groans of Zhan Lang echoed through the air.
Lin Xun gently patted Xu Jingyu's shoulder. "You really are something, selling off a good teammate!"
Xu Jingyu turned her head away, remaining silent.
She tried to turn and run, but Lin Xun firmly grasped her hand.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Lin Xun pulled Xu Jingyu deeper into the basement.
Zhan Lang continued to fight as he made his way into the depths of the basement.
All they could hear were the terrifying sounds emanating from deep within.
Hua Tian hurried forward but was stopped by Lin Xun grabbing her hand.
"Don't rush! Look around you!"
Only then did Hua Tian calm down.
She glanced at her surroundings.
In the Endless Darkness, a white Ying Gui floated in mid-air, flickering like a weak candle flame in the dark, wavering and dim…
Ying Gui's face was fierce and terrifying, and the white translucent robe resembled the last breath of a dying person, appearing and disappearing intermittently.
They looked extremely frightening, yet not a single one attacked them.
Lin Xun took a step forward with Hua Tian and the other two.
Ying Gui also drifted a short distance closer.
"Interesting..." Lin Xun stroked his chin, a faint smile appearing on his face.
He led the other two forward a few more steps.
Initially, Ying Gui merely hovered beside them, but with their movements, it seemed to close in on them like a stone wall mechanism in an ancient tomb, getting closer and closer...
Xu Jingyu suddenly halted: "Don't move forward any further! Ying Gui will attack us! Just like it did to Zhan Lang!"
She struggled desperately.
The disparity in strength between men and women was significant, and Lin Xun thought he could easily hold her back.
But he underestimated a person's desire to survive.
Xu Jingyu surprisingly broke free from his grasp and ran backward.
As she stepped back, several Ying Gui also retreated.
Fortunately, Lin Xun managed to grab her.
"Hua Tian, come here!"
Lin Xun held Xu Jingyu's wrist with both hands while calling out to Hua Tian.
Hua Tian was confused.
Once the two women stood together, Lin Xun swiftly drew a belt and once again bound their left and right hands together.
Hua Tian: ...
[Goodness, Double Happiness!]
[Hua Tian has already given up struggling...]
[Damn it, this guy is going to ruin my wife!]
[Beast!]
[Beast!]
"Beasts!"
Amidst the screen full of beasts, the words "Our Model" unexpectedly appeared.
This caught Lin Xun off guard.
Lin Xun grabbed Xu Jingyu and Hua Tian by their wrists, pulling them forward.
Xu Jingyu struggled with all her might, but this time, Lin Xun would not let her escape.
Seeing that she couldn't get anywhere with Lin Xun, she turned to Hua Tian and urged, "You saw it too! When I turned to run, those Ying Gui stepped back! As long as we exit the basement, we won't be in danger!"
Hua Tian looked at Xu Jingyu with annoyance.
"You talk too much..."
Xu Jingyu: "..."
Lin Xun led Xu Jingyu and Hua Tian slowly deeper into the basement.
As their steps drew closer and closer, the Ying Gui on both sides also moved nearer and nearer...
Xu Jingyu closed her eyes in despair.
To her surprise, the pain did not come.
She incredulously touched her body.
"How could this be..."
Hua Tian said disdainfully, "Didn't the notes on Ying Gui say that? It sees you the way you see it. We have no hostility towards Ying Gui, so naturally, it won't harm us."
After hearing this, Xu Jingyu's expression turned both shocked and embarrassed.
Could it be that Hua Tian knew about this from the very beginning?
Among the three of them, was she the only fool?
Seeing Xu Jingyu's awkward face, Hua Tian felt a bit embarrassed herself.
In fact, she had just thought of it too...
The group walked for a few minutes and finally encountered Zhan Lang, who was still in battle.
Zhan Lang was not in good shape!
It was very bad!
At that moment, he was drenched in blood, resembling a figure made entirely of crimson.
The ground was littered with his flesh and blood.
Those remnants mixed with dust, forming a strange and intricate pattern.
Zhan Lang was covered in wounds, his clothes and pants reduced to mere rags and tatters.
Countless Ying Gui surged forth from the darkness, like an unyielding army attacking Zhan Lang.
Yet, Zhan Lang felt no pain; all that remained was the joy of fighting!
"Stop him! If this continues, he'll bleed to death!"
"But what can we do? In his current state, he can't possibly stop..." Hua Tian said anxiously.
"Unless something makes him feel it's more important than fighting," Lin Xun pondered while stroking his chin.
Then he turned to Xu Jingyu and said, "You bark like a dog."
Xu Jingyu's face was filled with confusion. "Why should I bark like a dog?"
"Wang, wang!"
Hua Tian shouted loudly into the darkness.
A few seconds later, Zhan Lang staggered forward, his body covered in blood.
"Where's the dog? Did you find the dog?"
His face was pale, and his lips had lost all color, clearly a sign of severe blood loss.
No one answered him.
Lin Xun supported him.
The Game behind them still needed his help.
"We didn't find the dog," Lin Xun said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Zhan Lang desperately broke free from Lin Xun's grip.
"Are you lying to me?" Zhan Lang glared at Lin Xun with eyes full of hatred.
Hua Tian hurriedly stepped in front of Lin Xun, blocking Zhan Lang's malicious gaze.
"I'm not deceiving you; I'm saving you! Without Lin Xun's help, you would have already exhausted yourself to death!"
Hearing this, Zhan Lang sneered, "Hah, just a mere Ying Gui. What can you do to me?"
He attempted to leave, but the next moment, he felt his legs give way and fell heavily to one knee on the ground.
Zhan Lang couldn't believe it.
"What is happening?"
Lin Xun explained, "You won't feel pain, but that doesn't mean you won't die. When a person is in battle, adrenaline surges, pushing them into a frenzied state where they don't feel fatigue. Right now, you're merely experiencing the aftermath of that frenzy."
[Who wants to hear your science lesson? Zhan Lang, kill him! Go die!]
[I understand now; it's just that my body has been drained...]
[Renowned tonics and pills for sale—guaranteed to restore your vitality and vigor until dawn!]
"And now, Ying Gui won't harm you anymore. You have no reason to fight."
Hua Tian added,
Zhan Lang's face was filled with disdain. "What makes you think Ying Gui won't kill me?"
Lin Xun glanced at Zhan Lang's smooth, shiny forehead.
The brain capacity seemed considerable, yet the question asked was so foolish...
"If Ying Gui wanted to kill us, we would already be surrounded by them."
Seeing that Lin Xun didn’t want to explain, Hua Tian spoke up to clarify for Zhan Lang.
As soon as her words fell, countless Ying Gui surged from the darkness like swarming insects, quickly surrounding them.
They were like a flock encircled by wolves, with no way to retreat or escape.
Lin Xun looked at Hua Tian with a face full of question marks.
"Are you possessed by Conan?"
Hua Tian gave an awkward smile.
