Chapter 43

~8 min read 1,404 words

Okay, although I felt that Bai Zhi was not normal when I read her diary before, but after actual contact, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe found that she was far more abnormal than he thought.

"Currently known, besides the real world we are in, there are strange worlds that operate attached to rules like He Family Village. Gu Yunqing and others and I all entered by mistake through the 'gate', but Bai Zhi is different."

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe quickly organized the information he mastered: "Bai Zhi can often contact different strange worlds in her dreams and be trapped in them. She can know the different taboos and precautions corresponding to different rules in advance as if predicting the future."

Just as she said herself, Bai Zhi is a 'horror game player'.

This strange fact made Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe couldn't help but feel as if she were the protagonist.

And what made people even more unable to hold on was that at this point, Bai Zhi still thought she was dreaming, treating both Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe and Feng Yushu as NPCs in her dream, refusing to exert subjective initiative.

"Her mental state is indeed not normal." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe felt that this girl Bai Zhi had some big illness.

"Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe, what should we do next?" Feng Yushu asked cautiously.

"Should go turn off the light." Before Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe could speak, Bai Zhi said: "Given that darkness equals safety, in the situation where we cannot leave the manor, the first thing to do is to expand the safe zone and minimize the probability of us being discovered by the ghost."

It is indeed so according to logic, but...

"But ghosts are afraid of light." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe said lightly: "Light is a necessary condition for ghosts to find people and kill people, but conversely, since ghosts are afraid of light, does this mean that light is also a necessary condition for people to crack ghosts."

"This is just your guess." Bai Zhi said softly.

"It seems you really think you are dreaming." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe sighed helplessly.

Unlike Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe who was betting everything, Bai Zhi's mindset was not so urgent. She still thought she was in a dream. In a dream, she didn't need to risk her life to explore and crack the ghost's rules. As long as she stayed in the dark safe area until the sun rose, she would naturally wake up.

In the situation where it is indeed a dream, her idea is not wrong. This is the safest choice to survive.

And Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe didn't think so. He thought the current situation was like in He Family Village. If he didn't crack the rules as soon as possible and kill the ghost, he would be trapped here forever.

"I won't try to convince you, good luck." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe stood up from the bed and walked toward the room door: "I'm leaving."

Walking out of the door, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe looked up and saw that the sky was pitch black, as if a huge porcelain bowl had been buckled down, covering the entire Bishuiwan Manor inside. He stepped forward to leave, but heard light footsteps behind him.

Looking back, it was Feng Yushu following him out.

"Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe, I... I'll go with you."

Looking at her serious expression, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe was a bit puzzled: "It was not easy to find your daughter, why are you following me instead of staying with Bai Zhi."

"She is very safe here... at least for now. Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe, you really helped me a lot, so I also want to do something for you." Feng Yushu placed her hands on her chest, appearing a bit cramped: "When I just stayed here yesterday, I happened to hear a few electricians chatting and drinking tea. They said that the total power grid of this manor is divided into three parts, each with three circuit breakers controlling it."

"Outdoor power grid, that is, the power supply system for street lamps, fountains, monitoring systems, and security alarms, etc. The circuit breaker is located outdoors. I don't know exactly where it is outdoors."

"Indoor power grid, that is, the power supply system for household appliances and lighting facilities in each room of the castle. The circuit breaker is located on the first floor of the castle, in a hidden small secret room in a corner of the wall."

"Backup power grid, supplied by the diesel generator set in the basement of the manor. It should be in a closed state now. To be on the safe side, it's better to destroy it."

Feng Yushu described the information she knew with a fast but clear speed: "I know where the monitoring room is. I'll go there now, and we'll keep in touch by phone, okay?" "Okay." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe agreed.

Taking out his phone, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe dialed Feng Yushu's number. Just like in He Family Village, internal communication was possible in the manor isolated from the outside world, but it couldn't be dialed out.

"Eh?" Feng Yushu looked at the caller ID on the screen, and surprise and confusion climbed onto her face: "Zhang Yangxu?"

"It's me." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe didn't explain much. He shook the black phone that originally belonged to Zhang Yangxu in his hand, bent down to pick up the iPad that Feng Yushu had dropped on the ground before, and threw it forward.

Flutter—

Another crystal lamp extinguished.

"It would be great if there were a gun." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe thought while looking for the switch for the corridor light.

Zhang Yangxu is a VIP member of more than one foreign shooting club. Every time he goes abroad on business, he will take time to go to the shooting range to shoot guns. Mr. Zhang's marksmanship is quite good, so Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's marksmanship is also quite good.

It's a pity that there is no gun at hand now.

After smashing the second lamp, Feng Yushu used the key to open the door of her room. Her bedroom was next to Bai Zhi's.

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe waited at the door for a while. She changed into sports shoes suitable for action and walked out of the room, then handed Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe a purple parasol with golden patterns.

"Since darkness is safe, let's carry a small piece of darkness with us." Feng Yushu said so.

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe opened the umbrella, tried to walk under a crystal lamp that hadn't extinguished, and after waiting for a few minutes with full concentration, he didn't find any signs of ghosts approaching.

"It works." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe nodded to Feng Yushu.

"Great..." A bright smile appeared on Feng Yushu's face. She also opened the parasol in her hand and walked through the brightly lit corridor with Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe.

Although holding an umbrella to block light was proven to be a useful measure, to be on the safe side, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe would still turn off all the lighting along the way, either by turning off the switch or smashing it directly.

The lights on the second floor of the castle extinguished one by one following the footsteps of the two. At the stairs, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe and Feng Yushu parted ways.

Feng Yushu was going to find the monitoring room inside the castle, while Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe was going to turn off the circuit breaker of the indoor power grid.

After experiencing the two horror events of He Family Village and Bishuiwan, Feng Yushu's psychological quality had also become stronger. At least when there was support, she wouldn't be startled, and the number of emotional collapses had significantly decreased. She could already act boldly alone in this strange world.

The young man with a tall and straight figure held a dark purple parasol with golden lace edges, walking through the lobby full of corpses like a stroll.

By the way, he smashed the chandelier on the ceiling of the lobby.

While walking, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe was still thinking in his heart: "Ghosts need light to find people and kill people, but ghosts themselves are not fond of, or even afraid of, light."

What kind of relationship exists between the two? (End of chapter)
