Chapter 240: The First Casualty
As soon as the door opened, Chu Jiang immediately stepped back cautiously, to prevent the black giant hand from reaching out again.
But to everyone’s surprise, not only did the hand not reach out, but the situation behind the door was different from what they had just seen.
When the door opened earlier, everyone could only see darkness; but now, at least the room on the other side looks like a very ordinary room, without much difference from this side.
Oh, sorry, the length of the room on the other side seems to be several times longer than this side.
"Come in, everyone," said Chu Jiang cautiously as he stepped into the room first.
The others also entered one by one, because there was no way to escape now, they could only move forward.
The two rooms, front and back, look almost identical, with the only differences being the length of the rooms and the distribution of moss on the ceiling, which seems slightly different.
There is also a door opposite this room, with a bloody symbol on it, but it has two horizontal lines. From a distance, it looks a bit like the number "2".
It is worth mentioning that the length of those two horizontal lines is the same, which means it might not be a written character. When we reach the seventh room, it would be seven horizontal lines, not the number "7".
"Don’t move around for now, don’t do anything rash. Take a look around. I don’t believe it’s as simple as walking across to the other side and opening a door to enter the next room."
"If you notice anything unusual, don’t explore it on your own. Let me know first."
Chu Jiang patiently explained to everyone.
Everyone nodded, and there were no particularly foolish or reckless people here when it involved their own lives.
Everyone carefully observed their surroundings, but just relying on their eyes, they couldn’t see anything at all.
Even Chu Jiang, his extrasensory perception didn’t have much effect.
"Could the inconspicuous moss on the ceiling be the dangerous place?" the thin man tried to express his opinion. After all, besides the length, this was a relatively different place.
As for the symbol on the second door, it doesn’t count.
"If that’s the case, we shouldn’t even touch them, or pay too much attention to them."
After saying this, Chu Jiang thought for a moment and then let everyone follow behind him, slowly and patiently moving forward.
Anyway, the whole room is just this big, not longer than twenty meters and not wider than five meters.
Even if everyone walked slowly, sooner or later they would find the second door.
Actually, before coming in, Chu Jiang had considered whether to use the Ghost Domain to cover everyone and then enter.
But he was afraid that doing so would directly trigger some kind of eerie killing rule, so he chose to enter in a normal manner.
……
Because Chu Jiang walked very slowly, almost every step he took, he observed for any changes in the room, so his speed really wasn’t much faster than a snail.
When they had walked about halfway, nothing had happened yet.
This made some of the people relax a bit. The shop assistant wiped off the sweat on her forehead and instinctively fanned herself with a playing card.
Unexpectedly, at that moment, there was a soft "pu" sound, and a line of blood appeared on the shop assistant’s neck. Then her head rolled off and rolled several times on the ground.
"Ah!" The college student screamed. The shop assistant was walking in front of him and he saw her head getting cut off with his own eyes. Furthermore, fresh blood kept gushing out from her neck, like a small fountain.
Behind him was the female police officer from the island country, she volunteered to be the last one.
The police officer also saw the death of the cashier, but she had strong mental strength. Although it was very unbelievable, she immediately went forward and covered the student’s mouth.
Almost at the moment when the student screamed, everyone felt a flash in front of their eyes, and then they found themselves in a deserted city ruins.
Chu Jiang turned around, his face looked very unpleasant, something had gone wrong. And it was a sudden kill, directly taking down a person, without giving him any chance to react.
When Chu Jiang encountered an unexpected situation and activated the Ghost Domain, he could only collect the headless body of the cashier and the head that had rolled aside.
The people in front hadn’t figured out what was going on yet, they heard the student’s scream and thought the student was in trouble. They turned around in a panic, only to find that the cashier was already dead.
The blood from the headless body on the ground was still flowing, her hand even firmly held onto that red card.
"Is this… the Ghost Domain?" The skinny man was the first one to react to the changes in the surroundings.
Chu Jiang nodded slightly. It had been seconds since he activated the Ghost Domain, but he had not been attacked.
At least this proves that starting the Ghost Domain didn’t trigger the murder rule.
Of course, this should also be related to Chu Jiang not covering the entire room with the Ghost Domain. He only brought people in and kept the Ghost Domain within a very small range.
"Dead, dead, they’re gone…" the bald guy murmured incredulously. It’s not like he hasn’t seen dead people before, but what he couldn’t accept was that someone died mysteriously and silently.
The bald guy tightened his fist. Would he be next?
The firefighter’s face turned pale with fear. He kept mumbling and crossing himself in front of his chest, as if praying to God.
Chu Jiang looked at the student who was still gasping for breath under the comfort of the policewoman and asked, "What did you see just now? How did Miss Li die?"
In fact, Chu Jiang saw the cashier’s death through his extrasensory perception, but it happened too fast and he didn’t have time to intervene.
By asking the students now, he wanted to confirm and compare what he "saw" to see if there were any differences.
"She, she…" the student’s words were not yet clear when suddenly another scream filled the place, "Ahh~~!!"
The people were startled and quickly backed away when they heard the strange sound, only to see the headless body of the shop assistant. "Am I dead?!" they exclaimed.
The sound had a mixture of crying and fear, and to everyone’s surprise, the bloody female corpse stood up straight from the ground.
Watching the headless female corpse flail her arms, Chu Jiang calmly shouted, "You’re not dead yet, at least not temporarily. Just think about it, where can you find a dead person who can stand up and speak?"
"Also, is it possible that the cards in your hand helped you? Did you borrow their power?"
Inspired by Chu Jiang’s calm tone, the shop assistant’s panicked emotions slightly eased.
However, she stammered and spoke incoherently, "I…d-died… I saw… my head rolling off my body… and in that moment, I could still think."
"I…I remembered the image on the card. A headless monk with my own dead head on top of his neck… and then… then I came back to life…"
