Chapter 193: Night Paralysis
In this shooting operation.
Everyone has made a lot of contributions and taken risks.
Zhang Wei filmed, Sun Qian acted as bait, Wu Xian broke the invisibility, and Liao Yifang killed the evil spirit, so each of them took one of the four remaining incense sticks. Wu Xian and Liao Yifang took the long ones, and Zhang Wei and Sun Qian took the short ones.
Although a stick of remaining incense is not enough to worship the gods, it is better than nothing, and it meets one-tenth of the survival requirements. It also deepens the understanding of the blessed land, which is a gain in itself.
Sun Qian touched the half-stick of incense in his hand and felt moved.
As expected, in this blessed land, as long as you work hard, you will reap rewards. He has longed for supernatural powers since he was a child. With this half stick of incense, he is one step closer to his dream.
Just when everyone was happy, a voice that no one wanted to hear appeared again.
boom!
boom!
The sound of the ball bouncing rang out again!
Everyone's faces changed slightly. They had clearly eliminated the ball-bouncing ghost, so why was there still a ball-bouncing sound? Was there a second one, or were the ghosts in this blessed land impossible to be completely eliminated?
The four of them stood against the wall of the corridor, nervously waiting for the sound of the ball bouncing to approach.
Wu Xian felt a chill and his hair stood on end. This ball-bouncing ghost did not hide its existence at all. Was it confident in its own strength?
But when the ball appears.
Wu Xian and the other three couldn't help laughing.
It turned out to be a small inflatable ball, a youth version of basketball.
No wonder the feeling of evil coming was so clear, it turned out to be this new ball-bouncing ghost, so weak that it couldn't even control its own breath.
He may have the ability to kill, but he no longer poses a threat to Wu Xian and others.
Liao Yifang was ready to make a move.
But Wu Xian quickly held her down.
They have captured the ball-beating ghost, but other cameras have not yet captured it.
Leaving the blessed land requires a camera or camcorder that can capture ten kinds of ghosts. It is too risky to rely on just one camera. It is better to let all cameras capture as many kinds of ghosts as possible to maximize the error tolerance.
……
It took Wu Xian and others a long time to deal with the ball-bouncing ghost.
He guessed that everyone in the house should have gone to bed, with only one or two people keeping watch.
So he knocked on the door three times lightly and once heavily, trying to minimize the impact on the sleeper. The door opened after three consecutive times. This was the code for opening the door that Lou Yaozong and others agreed on before returning to the room.
Although it may not be useful.
But it is still a kind of caution.
After entering the room, Wu Xian was somewhat surprised to find that none of the six people in the room were asleep, and the atmosphere was a bit solemn. Shi Ji looked pale, and the others covered their noses and looked at Shi Ji.
Liao Yifang asked doubtfully.
"What's going on? A new ghost has appeared?"
Han Ke pointed at Shi Ji and said, "You should ask him about this. We are also confused now."
Shi Ji's lips trembled slightly: "I just encountered a ghost!"
The five people in the room looked at each other.
They were in the room, but they didn't notice anything unusual. Among all the people, Shi Ji was the one who slept the soundest and even let out a loud fart before waking up.
Now suddenly people say there is a ghost, which makes everyone panic.
Shi Ji drank some water to calm himself down and told everyone about his experience.
"I'm really tired today."
"So after confirming that there was nothing for me to do for the time being, I went to sleep first."
"But I just fell asleep and I felt something was wrong. I felt uncomfortable all over, had palpitations, and felt dizzy. It was as if I had suddenly become seriously ill."
"So I wanted to wake up." "But I found that I could only open my eyes and look at the ceiling. The edge of my vision kept twisting and changing, gradually pressing towards me, as if the whole world was getting smaller and I would be squeezed to death..."
"Then I heard a lot of noises, like someone was talking, I couldn't hear what they were talking about, it seemed like there were many figures surrounding me saying bad things about me and discussing how to kill me."
"And then……"
"From the corner of my eye, I saw a blurry shadow slowly crawling towards me!"
At this point, Shi Ji shuddered.
Even though he had experienced a lot, he still felt that the scene was too depressing and terrifying.
"She was an old lady, with ragged clothes, wrinkled face, a long nose, and only two rotten teeth in her mouth that were about to fall out."
"She hunched over and approached me very slowly, as slow as a snail, but I couldn't even move a finger. I could only watch her approach little by little, climb onto my bed, and press on my body..."
"I felt my body getting heavier and heavier, and every breath was more labored than before. I clearly realized that I was slowly heading towards death..."
Shi Ji's description made everyone look at each other in bewilderment. Some felt a chill in their hearts, while others thought that Shi Ji had fallen into a trance after sleeping too long.
Han Ke frowned.
"That sounds like classic sleep paralysis, a form of sleep paralysis."
"Sleep is divided into several stages, and the dreaming stage is called rapid eye movement. In this stage, in order to prevent sleepwalking from causing harm to oneself, all parts of the body except the respiratory muscles and eyelids will be in a locked state."
"For patients with sleep paralysis, their consciousness wakes up during the REM period, but their bodies are still locked, so they are awake but unable to move."
"This disease usually occurs when people are overly tired. Today is a tough day for everyone, so it's not surprising that you'd get sick."
"As for the horrific scene you saw, it was just your imagination in panic. Isn't the old lady Liu among us also old? The old lady who just covered you with a quilt and climbed onto your bed may have appeared based on this."
As a professional, Han Ke's words are very convincing.
Just when everyone thought it was just an ordinary disease, Han Ke suddenly changed the subject.
"The above is just an explanation from a medical perspective."
"But please abandon the common sense in reality and remember that this is a blessed land where anything can happen."
"Can you tell whether the old lady holding you down is a real ghost or just a simple illness?"
Shi Ji thought seriously for a while.
"I can confirm it was a real ghost because I farted in desperation and she ran away in terror."
Han Ke was stunned.
Everyone else was stunned.
What the hell is this?
They did hear Shi Ji fart loudly, but what did that have to do with confirming whether there was a ghost?
But Wu Xian understood what Shi Ji meant.
Shi Ji is different from ordinary people, he is born with a filthy holy body, so his fart also has the effect of exorcising evil spirits!
It is precisely because the symptoms of sleep paralysis disappear after farting that it can be said that it is a real ghost. If it was just a disease, there would be no change after Shi Ji farted.
So Wu Xian raised his hand.
"I believe what he said is true."
With Wu Xian's support, Shi Ji's words became more credible, and everyone had to be on guard against one more danger: a ghost pressing down on the bed.
The appearance of the bed-pressing ghost has made everyone afraid of sleeping.
So they rearranged their night watch assignments and spent the night in fear...
