White candles of all sizes are burning here, and the candlelight fills the entire secret room.

The seemingly not very solid wooden wall panels are covered with faintly glowing talismans.

The moment Han Dong stepped into the safe house, his slightly nervous mood and sense of danger dissipated at the same time.

The "curse corrosion" remaining on the body is also slowly repaired under the candlelight.

In addition, the safe house also has a very eye-catching ‘equipment’, similar to an empty shrine.

On the top of the shrine are four completely different black candles, two of which have been lit.

"Nicholas, have you collected "clues"? The Count found an important clue in the attic, and also determinedly analyzed based on careful observation that the safe house was set up in the attic."

The Count held his dog's head and quietly waited for the praise he deserved.

It’s a pity that Han Dong’s attention has been attracted by the empty shrine.

"What's the use of this shrine?"

Sally immediately replied:

"We have tried it. Once the "clue prop" is put into it, it will be automatically absorbed by the shrine.

For every item you spend, the black candle on the shrine will light up one correspondingly.

I and the Earl have each found a clue prop. Do you have it here?"

"I'm lucky. I just collected two clues here... I don't know what changes will happen when all the black candles on the shrine are lit."

The clue items have been obtained so far are as follows:

"Slinging rope", "Black jade pendant", "Bloody black hair" and "Lollipop".

As Han Dong sent the rope and the jade pendant into it, it immediately dissociated in a light spot... The remaining two black candles slowly ignited the gloomy flames.

As all four black candles light up, their burning speed increased exponentially.

Even the bright candlelight was temporarily suppressed.

When the black candles are completely burned out, the light will be restored... There are many diaries of black smoke radiating in the shrines.

"Is this a key prop that can point to the "Box of Resentment"?"

When Han Dong reached out to touch the diary, he immediately received a related system prompt:

"Key clue - [Curse Diary], this clue is limited to use when the number of ladybugs = 4.

After successfully activating the clue, the haunted house will return to the ‘time period’, and individuals may find relevant information about the “Box of Resentment” during that time.

“Once a period?

Does it refer to the period when it first turned into a haunted house or when? Will it be directly related to the crooked tree?

This diary should help us touch the root of haunted houses, and the reason for their formation should be related to the "Box of Resentment"... or in other words, every haunted house building located here is related to it.

In this way, no matter which haunted house to investigate, the final result will be pointed to the box, which will be in line with the characteristics of fairness and progression."

Han Dong’s first doubt was the crooked tree, after all, even the evil spirits under the difficulty of [3] can absorb it.

“The difficulty of special events is really terrible.

If you need "Ladybug count = 4", you can use the "Curse Diary" to get the opportunity to obtain information about "Box of Resentment".

If you want to truly obtain the "Box of Resentment", do you need the number of ladybugs = 5? What is the setting of the safe house?

...If you don’t make too in-depth inferences for the time being, let’s solve the diary first.”

"Nicholas, what should I do now?"

“Since the basic clues are complete and clear instructions are provided, there is no need to go out and hang out again.

If the change makes the number of ladybugs reach [5], staying outside may be life-threatening... When the number of ladybugs becomes 4, we will go out directly."

"good."

Sally was quite satisfied with being able to live in the same room with Han Dong... Of course, the count next to him was a bit annoying.

"Earl, you can take a break, thanks to you being able to find a safe house."

Faced with the praise that had been separated by a while, the count still shook his tail and reluctantly accepted it.

"In this case, I will not disturb you from your solitude with Miss Sally."

The essence and blood symbolizing the count were stripped out from the arms and returned to Han Dong's body.

Losing the Count's control, "Leicester's Arm" returns to its initial state, crossing it with the chainsaw and hanging behind Han Dong.

"Sally, how does the space of fate feel?"

"Fun! It's completely different from what I feel in our world. There are many things here that I have never seen before. All kinds of creatures follow their own laws of development.

This kind of game that suppresses the level is not very pleasant at first, but the more you play, the more interesting it feels.

There are endless sense of crisis, and I can still experience the faster growth I used to be... I like it very much."

"It's good to like it. I'll take you to play with something else if I have the chance in the future."

"Okay! By the way, you said you would take me to see something about [movie], remember to go together."

"Um."

However, the two of them had just started to be alone.

A tremor came from the bracelet, and the display panel of the bracelet actually started a "one-minute" countdown... According to the activity rules, such a reminder will only be made when the highest difficulty is about to come.

“【5】I’m coming, but I’m lucky I haven’t gone out.”

Han Dong and Sally both were a little nervous.

They have played many games, but have not yet reached the number of ladybugs [5]... It is currently a more dangerous special game. Even with the setting of a safe house, I still feel uneasy.

"Here you come!"

The moment when the countdown ends.

Several talismans posted in the safe house fled away by themselves, and the candlelight was gradually suppressed and swayed... However, the overall state was still stable.

"What kind of wailing is this?"

Han Dong put his ear on the surface of the wooden door.

Since the safety house is very quarantined, you can only hear a strange howling vaguely, which is most likely not made by man.

tread!

suddenly.

A sound of footsteps of leather shoes came, ignoring the isolation function of the safe house, loud and heavy, and even shocked Han Dong's eardrums to sting.

"The sound of leather shoes?" Han Dong quickly moved his ears that were pressed against the door and stepped back to stand with Sally.

The other party is wandering in the haunted house.

Every time the sound of leather shoes sounds, there is a feeling of stepping on the surface of Han Dong's heart... Its existence makes all evil spirits retreat.

Sally also gently grabbed Han Dong's arm, and wool drilled out from the pores and all stood up.

"Nicholas, if we encounter this thing, we might really die."

"Well...What a strong sense of oppression!"

While Han Dong was feeling the oppression, he also felt an extra excitement... The madness kept coming out of his body, and even urged Han Dong to open the door to see what was happening outside the door.

Of course, such stupid things cannot be done.

Slowly, the sound of leather shoes that went away was telling that the other party had left the haunted house and was walking on the streets of the active area.

"Isn't it a single product in this haunted house, but the ultimate evil spirit in the entire activity area?"

wait.

[Ladybug count = 5] The duration lasted for two full hours, and each killer hiding in the safe house was in a state of high mental tension.

Han Dong couldn't help but wonder.

"Sustaining so long? Is it caused by randomness or is it a system that gives a longer time..."

【5】→【2】

Difficulty switching.

"Sally, let's go...【2】is not enough to threaten us. We are now going to a more suspicious area and waiting for the arrival of【4】."

Leaving the safe house, heading to the "Crooked Neck Tree" on the first floor.

When the number of ladybugs is [2], the evil spirits will only move in fixed areas and will not be attacked as long as they are not approached.

At the same time, there are some inherent curses set up in buildings. Touching curses will attract evil spirits to chase them...such as putting video tapes into TVs, putting toys back into storage boxes, etc.

When the two came to the courtyard on the first floor.
