Chapter 7, Spider
Just like now, the exit on the second floor is blocked by that spider, making it impossible to leave under normal circumstances
The hanged female ghost has also disappeared
A normal person would be so frightened by just a glance that they would lose control of their bladder
However, for Lin Mo, who is already familiar with this ghostly murder routine, this matter may not be a bad thing
In almost an instant, Lin Mo felt the familiar chill behind him
Lin Mo, hiding in the shadows, observed keenly
The Pale Ghost does it this way
Is anyone there
Coincidentally, Lin Mo currently has many questions
Reaching the entrance of the corridor, Lin Mo pushed the security door open a crack and looked outside
Under normal circumstances, such an event is impossible, as one would faint and lose consciousness due to lack of oxygen if pressure is applied to the middle of the neck, rendering the hands incapable of exerting force
The cobweb on the first floor remains, and it is nearly spreading to the second floor. Just as Lin Mo was observing, a shadow suddenly darted up from the first floor at an extremely high speed.
Lin Mo sensed danger
Looking down at my feet, there was nothing there
There are no living people, but there is indeed a corpse.
It merely pried open a crack in the security door and took a glance inside
Lin Mo understood that the spirit of the pen, in essence, is a type of wandering soul or ghost, yet it possesses knowledge of many matters
Lin Mo had seen this method of violently forcing open a door before
Next to the female corpse is a small table
It is indeed a bit cold, but with the military overcoat, Lin Mo can still endure it
He opened the door and looked inside. The decor style of this household appeared quite ordinary, just like that of an average family, cluttered with various everyday items.
However, it still needs to be verified whether it is or not
This is not a wild guess by Lin Mo
This chair was presumably occupied by a girl before, and strangely, there is also a chair placed opposite it
Previously, Lin Mo had explored the second floor. Except for one room that was locked and inaccessible, he had investigated all the others, finding no danger.
Lin Mo felt that the person whom the face spider feared was very likely this pale ghostly figure
What exactly is this nightmarish world
Looking at the old pencil in his hand, Lin Mo wondered if he could also ask the pencil spirit
During this process, the pale ghost behind continuously tried to lure Lin Mo to turn his head, but Lin Mo's willpower was as strong as a rock; no matter how the pale ghost struggled, he simply would not look back
Lin Mo looked around and found only one corpse here
During the time I may have been away, it did some things and entered this room
Although it was just a glance, Lin Mo saw clearly that this spider was larger than an adult, covered with various human faces. These faces were twisted and crowded together, displaying expressions of agony and continuously emitting screams.
Lin Mo asked a question at the door
The sound is not loud, but in this silent corridor, it is extremely jarring
Immediately, a wave of darkness flowed out from that door, as if the floor and walls were being consumed by this darkness, which then surged forth.
Lin Mo is doing quite well, maintaining a good mindset, with strong legs, and running exceptionally fast
Then Lin Mo pondered for a moment and sat down on the adjacent chair
Just now, Lin Mo saw clearly that within the black mist, there was a pale ghostly figure
Isn't it true that at least two people are needed to play the pen fairy game
Why isn't it chasing after us?
Lin Mo leaned closer to take a look; the paper was filled with many words, among which the most striking was: You will strangle yourself
Was this girl playing with the pen fairy before
However, he quickly realized something, halted his steps that were prepared for escape, and instead turned around, facing away from the approaching mass of black mist
Lin Mo did not recklessly rush out of the corridor; after careful consideration, he decided to continue investigating the second floor first
Lin Mo furrowed her brows
Lin Mo, wearing a military overcoat, felt the chill behind him dissipate
Is it really it
Once this thought arises, it cannot be suppressed.
There are too many similar issues
Where did these monsters come from
It is only natural to think that after waking up in the real world, one would certainly disappear from this world; that ghostly figure cannot possibly wait here indefinitely, yet it remains unknown where it has gone.
Naturally, doubts arose in my heart
Upon re-examining the second-floor corridor, a hint of eeriness permeated the dimness
However, if we borrow from previous speculation, the reason spiders do not enter the second floor is due to their apprehension. Therefore, as long as we can identify what they are apprehensive about, we might be able to use that to intimidate the spiders and then leave safely
Inside the room, Lin Mo discovered a young girl lying on the ground. Her expression was extremely grim, with both hands gripping her own neck, veins bulging, and her death was horrifying
Lin's conjecture
He reached back with his hand, but similarly found nothing.
First, put the girl's hand down, and Lin Mo arranged a comfortable position for her to lie down.
He just saw clearly that what crawled up from the first floor was a gigantic spider
Look down
It seems that she strangled herself
What surprised Lin Mo was that the human-faced spider did not enter the second floor
The temperature in the corridor suddenly dropped significantly
Without exaggeration, at this moment, Lin Mofei not only felt no fear, but rather a hint of surprise in his heart
It turns out that it did not leave the second floor, but was hidden in the innermost room
The safety door in the corridor is not locked, and even if it were locked, Lin Mo believes it would not be able to stop that large spider. Once this creature rushes in, the situation would become extremely dangerous
The location on the third floor, where a mass of black mist had originally been blocking, has disappeared
In the next moment, with a loud bang, the frame of the safety door was struck, and it was surprisingly deformed.
Has that ghost already left
The smell is pungent
Give it a try
At that moment, the door of the innermost room in the corridor creaked open
It can be understood as the concept of territory
On the table, there is a pen and a piece of paper
Lin Mo reached out and picked up the pencil that was on the table
Using the theory of game completion to explain Lin Mo's current reckless behavior, it can be understood that he is unwilling to miss any opportunity that could provide him with clues
When something unusual occurs, there must be something sinister behind it. Lin Mo contemplated several possibilities, among which the most unsettling was that there was something in this second floor that made that person fear the face spider
That is why it did not come in
Essentially, the principle of answering any question is quite remarkable
Leaning closer, I took a sniff at the nose
Regarding this basic common knowledge, Lin Mo is somewhat aware of it. In the horror games he has played, there are similar terrifying elements, so he can be considered a semi-expert
Lin Mo hurriedly ran back without saying a word
It resembles blood after it has dried up
He possesses an exceptionally rich experience in completing horror games
This is somewhat magical
The pencil appears quite ordinary, seemingly stained with something, although it looks like it has already dried. The color is very dark, resembling a shade of deep red
The answer is affirmative
Because the paper has written the question, "Are you the Pen Fairy?"
It seems that the pale ghostly figure has truly departed
This is a sign of respect for the deceased
At this moment, Lin Mo arrived at the front of this door
He immediately closed the safety door
There is nothing difficult in the world; once you get used to it, it will be fine
In the darkness, several eyes of varying sizes peered through the crack of the door, and this sense of oppression was immense
To his surprise, he discovered that the door of this house had been damaged, the lock had failed, and with a pull, the door opened
It is the pale specter that kills upon turning back
This is clearly abnormal
It has come again
Regardless of the circumstances, this pale specter has once again set its sights on Lin Mo, trailing behind him once more
The other rooms on this floor had already been searched by Lin Mo, and nothing was found, except for one household that had its door locked, preventing entry
After watching for a while, the spider retreated back into the hallway, listening to the sounds, and it had descended to the first floor again
