CH 7
A touch as cold as water slid over the back of Chi Yiyin’s neck, instantly arousing goosebumps on his arms instinctively.
Chi Yiyin froze in place, he suppressed his instincts, and didn’t turn around immediately to check what was behind him. A corner of the curtain blown by the wind? Or…
Human hair.
The black that quickly spread from behind gave Chi Yiyin the answer right away.
The surrounding temperature continued to drop. Frost spread from the ground to the wall, and there was a shrill scream in the air, as if this was not a boudoir at all, but a morgue where corpses were placed.
The smooth and black hair climbed onto Chi Yiyin’s shoulders and entered his field of vision. Before he could react, it quickly tied his arms and then his legs…
It blocked all possibility of Chi Yiyin’s escape.
And just in the blink of an eye, the hair had already wrapped him into a cocoon, strangling him tightly, and bringing him a sense of suffocation, making him feel that his stomach had been punched, and even his internal organs have been squeezed into a ball. Nausea rushed to his throat, but he could only watch helplessly as the hair rushed straight into his eyes.
At that moment, in Chi Yiyin’s eyes, the whole world seemed to be in slow motion, moving forward frame by frame.
He resisted the pressure of his eyes being pierced, the more dangerous the situation was, the calmer he was, and he began to rewind backward using the hair as a clue. He expected that there were traces to follow, even a malicious system would not be without order.
The woman in the mirror in the boudoir, the girl who got out of the carriage that he saw in a daze, the woman who flashed by in the mist outside the mansion, the title of female ghost in the newspapers in the hands of a person in Gushu Town…
After being observed by Chi Yiyin, the memories that were sealed in his mind as material were recalled at this time, quickly supporting Chi Yiyin’s guess.
Seeing that the hair was about to wrap Chi Yiyin completely, he yelled suddenly, “Are you going to kill yourself, and let Ma Qing get what he wants!”
When Ma Qing’s name was called out, the hair, which was pointing all the way like a bamboo shoot, finally had a different reaction. It hung in front of Chi Yiyin’s eyes, less than a centimeter from his eyeballs.
The name of Ma Qing, the young master of the Ma family, seemed to have a very special meaning to the owner of the hair, just hearing it is enough to shake it.
It worked, he guessed it right.
The one who attacked him was the woman in the mirror, and it was Ma Yuze, the eldest daughter of the Ma family.
The object of his role-play.
Chi Yiyin smiled and hit the iron while it was still hot: “Ma Qing hates you and wants to occupy the family property after you die. Are you going to let him get his wish like this? Miss Ma, although this is your home, but now, I am Ma Yuze. “
“Killing me is tantamount to killing yourself. At that time, you will be helping your enemy, is this what you want to see?”
“On the contrary, if you help me, you are helping yourself…”
Chi Yiyin’s eyes flickered, and he deliberately and slowly lowered his voice. Not only to skillfully elicit empathy from the listener, but also to give himself a chance to breathe.
The long hair tightly strangled his waist and abdomen, making him almost out of breath. All the problems caused by suffocation appeared on his body. Not only did gold stars appeared in front of his eyes, but humming noises buzzed in his ears. The white noise made it difficult for him to hear his own voice clearly.
Chi Yiyin took a deep breath with great effort, holding on to his heart and lungs that were about to explode so that he wouldn’t appear abnormal.
And his voice was inexplicably alluring and convincingly magical: “Give me a chance, let me show you… the ending you want.”
There was silence all around.
The long hair didn’t continue to attack Chi Yiyin nor let him go, it just froze in place, as if hesitating about the authenticity in his words.
Chi Yiyin didn’t slack off. He quickly looked around his body, and checked the places that could be used for him one by one in his mind.
The first thing he ruled out was to break through by force.
The brooch and glasses pinned to the suit may be useful, and the large scissor on the round table next to him was particularly eye-catching, but Chi Yiyin did not intend to try it, and struggling without purpose would only irritate the female ghost.
If you want to do it, you have to kill with one slash, or you can’t do it at all. Hesitating is the most dangerous thing.
After all, Chi Yiyin was a person who writes at his desk all year round. Even though he often explored dangerous places for inspiration, and his physical strength was much better than ordinary people, it was not enough for the female ghost behind him.
He didn’t need to try, and he knew that the long hair that bound him was not something he could break free.
Since he wanted to negotiate, he must show the bare minimum of sincerity.
Especially now that he was at a disadvantage.
As soon as Chi Yiyin stepped into the boudoir, he didn’t have time to take a look. He was attacked by the female ghost, and didn’t see what was in the room at all.
But now, he immediately locked on a picture hung in the room.
Western-style oil painting, depicting the sky and the yellow wheat field. The composition was simple, the brushstrokes were immature, and the only bright spot was that the colors were really bright, as if you could feel the painter’s sunny mood.
But such a painting, hanging in Miss Ma’s room, seemed very strange.
The entirety of Ma’s mansion was a simple and elegant Hui style building. Even if there were western objects such as a clock, the overall style was Chinese. It wasn’t the type that would hang oil paintings.
Besides, for the wealthy Ma family, even if it was decorated with oil paintings, it would not be one of this level.
The most likely possibility was that this painting was made by the eldest miss.
What the master of the painting wanted was freedom in the wild.
Chi Yiyin paused, and had an idea in his mind: “They will lock you even when you go home, so why would they let you go back to school? Miss Ma, do you want to stay here forever?”
The long hair in front of him moved, and the strength restraining Chi Yiyin began to loosen, as if it had been hit by what he said.
He smiled and added another blow: “I have a way to make you leave, but it depends on whether you are willing to believe me. How about it, do you want to gamble for once?”
But this time, after speaking, the long hair didn’t move at all. It seemed that Chi Yiyin guessed the wrong direction, and the female ghost was not moved by him.
As time passed by, fine beads of sweat appeared on Chi Yiyin’s forehead, which wet his silver-gray hair. The arm that was cut by the younger sister was once again tightened by the long hair until the scabs burst, and the blood wet the sleeves of his shirt, making him feel uncomfortable and sticky.
But Chi Yiyin didn’t even frown, he was still smiling sincerely, showing his sincerity to the female ghost who he didn’t know where her main body was.
Slowly, he noticed that the surrounding temperature began to rise, and the long hair that tied him slowly retracted.
Chi Yiyin breathed a sigh of relief, and for the first time, felt that air was so precious.
“How do I know? What if you are lying to me?”
A cold and erratic voice came from the ear, and a strand of hair wrapped around Chi Yiyin’s neck from behind, tightened and loosened, as if confirming his reaction.
Chi Yiyin just smiled slightly: “Then how does Miss Ma want to confirm?”
Filled with cold malice, the female ghost gave her conditions: “Let me leave here, if you can’t do it… I will kill you.”
Chi Yiyin agreed without hesitation: “Okay.”
The moment the voice fell, the system sounded: [Survivor Z1001, the hidden mission has been triggered: Yuze’s life. Survivor is requested to complete the mission within 24 hours. No rewards for completion, and erasure on the spot if not completed.]
[The remaining time of the current instance is 167 hours.
Survivor Z1001 Survival Countdown, 23:59:59]
The bright red characters appeared in Chi Yiyin’s vision, and the voice of death had spoken and was slowly approaching.
