Chapter 30: Clapping Game
Wu Xian was frightened for a long time, and he put his hand in and quickly pulled it back several times.

But what he was worried about did not happen. There was no trap in the integrated stove, and the statue could be moved easily. Wu Xian dragged the statue out easily with a smile on his face.

puff!

Wu Xian’s smile froze.

"It's over!"

Things turned out to be not that simple, there were other things that came out along with the statue!

It was a lump of warm and sticky stuff, a section of which was tied to the statue with a thin rope. The statue was taken out, and the thing was also taken out from the depths of the integrated stove and fell to the floor with a plop.

If you look closely, you can see that this mass of stuff is the human body's internal organs such as the heart, liver, stomach, lungs, intestines, and brain. The things mixed in between have dyed the floor red and yellow.

This style...

It doesn't come from wild beasts or livestock, but from humans!
Before Wu Xian could figure out what was happening, a shrill scream was heard from outside, the scream was filled with pain and anguish, as well as a hint of relief.

Wow!
Along with the sound of chains, there was a change of light and shadow behind the billboard, and something fell from the billboard with a muffled sound.

Although his view was blocked, Wu Xian knew very well what had fallen.

It was the male corpse with the abdomen hollowed out!
"屮!"

Wu Xian grabbed Curly Hair in anger, realizing that he had been in trouble again.

No wonder the male corpse was hung in such an obvious place. This was a trap. Once someone wanted to use the statue in this room to worship the gods, the male corpse would be released immediately and would be targeted by the evil spirit!

The sudden change made Wu Xian's heart feel a little gloomy.

But he didn't have time to solve the hidden dangers.

The sun was setting outside the window. If he wasted too much time outside, he would have to face those strange evil spirits without any shelter.

Besides, the situation tonight is different from the past. He must go back earlier and discuss with Yue Mei a plan to spend the night safely.

So Wu Xian found a box in the room, put the statue of Fuye Lord God, the incense burner, candles and other items in it, and quickly left the room with the box.

After going out, Wu Xian observed carefully.

A clear human-shaped mark was found on the ground, which should have been left when the male corpse fell. There were also hand and foot prints and traces of dragging that extended to the shadows.

It seems that the evil movement pattern of this male corpse is to crawl with his hands and feet and drag his torso on the ground.

"I just hope this thing can find me sooner or later, but please don't interfere with tonight's operation..."

……

It's not dark yet.

All the survivors gathered in the lobby on the first floor of Ping An Hotel.

Shi Ji is still the chef today.

The dishes changed from large intestine rice to pig stomach wrapped in rice, and the dishes made by this group are inseparable from offal.

Yesterday, time was so tight that everyone just made do with what they had. Today, when they saw the hot food, they didn’t care to be disgusted and all ate it with big mouthfuls.

After meal.

Su Huilan asked Yue Mei: "You were so secretive this morning. Now it's time to speak frankly about how you plan to solve the problem."

"Do you know the ghost mother who is looking for her child?"

Yue Mei described the image of a ghost mother looking for her son, and everyone instantly understood that this was the first evil spirit in this world that Wen Chao had once described!
Shi Ji asked doubtfully, "Can this evil spirit help us avoid the big evil spirit that broke into the door?"

"Don't be presumptuous, address her respectfully as Ghost Mother!"

Yue Mei shouted harshly, and when she talked about the ghost mother, her eyes were full of strange light. The day before yesterday, she was forced to go to the indigenous people to seek a way to survive.

On the first night, she encountered great terror.

But on the second night, amidst the terror, she found a rare sense of security after entering the blessed land. This feeling made her feel unprecedented happiness.

She is a kind-hearted girl. Of course, she wants to share this kind of good thing with everyone.

So she returned to the Heian Hotel and conveyed the gospel of the ghost mother to outsiders like her.

"Have you ever heard such a prayer?"

"Praise the Ghost Mother, offer my flesh and bones, cover your eyes to save your life, clap your hands in honor of the Lord!"

Hearing this familiar prayer, Wu Xian's pupils dilated.

He suddenly understood what Yue Mei meant. Just like predators have territories, other predators will usually retreat in front of a stronger predator.

The way to prevent the evil spirit from attacking at night is to attract a more powerful evil spirit!
But the stronger the evil, the more deadly it is to them.

Everyone was silent for a while, and then Wu Xian asked the question that everyone wanted to ask.

"How can you guarantee that we won't be killed by your ghost mother after we lure her here?"

Yue Mei clapped her hands in a gesture with a pious look on her face.

"It's simple. Let's play games with Ghost Mother together!"

……

The sun sets below the horizon.

The city was dark, with only a few billboards still flashing. The atmosphere was eerie and terrifying, and occasionally distorted shadows could be seen flashing by.

The fourth floor of Ping An Hotel.

The doors of the only three remaining rooms, 404.401.403, and , were opened.

The remaining six people were divided into groups of two and stayed in different rooms.

Everyone already knew how to lure out the ghost mother who was looking for her son.

Just clap your hands.

But after attracting the Ghost Mother, there is only one way to avoid being hurt, and that is to play a "clapping game"!
Wu Xian and Shi Ji, with their eyes closed, stood on the left and right sides of Room 403 respectively. This was the position they had arranged in advance.

Although I am familiar with the rules of the game.

But even with my eyes closed, I still felt uneasy inside, especially since the door was open and evil spirits might come in at any time.

But there is no way, this game must be played.

The rules of the game are simple.

The roles are divided into seekers and those being sought.

The first seeker is the Ghost Mother. She will target the first person who claps. After the first person is found, he or she will replace the Ghost Mother as the new seeker, and the Ghost Mother will stay where she is.

When the finder is changed, the information will be heard by everyone nearby.

The second person must clap within one minute, and the first person needs to find the second person within ten minutes with his eyes closed. Then the second person will become the finder...

This cycle is the basic rule of the game.

If you want to survive in the game, there are some iron rules that you must not violate.

First of all, the timing must not be wrong.

Secondly, the Ghost Mother will continue to clap while waiting, and the Ghost Mother must appear at least once in each round of the game.

Again, during the entire game, no one is allowed to open their eyes and must remain relatively quiet, not making any loud noises other than applause.

If the game goes smoothly, the ghost mother looking for her child will be just an ordinary player in the game, and no evil spirits will appear in the whole game.

But if there is any violation of the rules.

The ghost mother who is looking for her child will turn into a terrible nightmare, and those who violate the rules will pay the price of death...
