Chapter 31: Footsteps in the Dark
In this clapping game, the order in which you clap is very important.

In order to avoid confusion caused by multiple people clapping at the same time, which would lead to violation of the rules of the game, the six survivors were each numbered.

Wu Xian is one, and Shi Ji is the second.

Yue Mei is three and Wen Chao is four.

Su Huilan is five and Su Huiqin is six.

The order was determined by drawing lots in the room. Wu Xian drew lots on behalf of Room 403 and unfortunately drew number . Number clapped once when clapping, while number clapped twice...

The next person to clap must clap within ten seconds of receiving the signal.

If the next person to clap does not clap within ten seconds, it means that an accident has occurred and the next person must clap within the next ten seconds to maintain the progress of the game.

……

It seems that the time is almost up.

Wu Xian closed his eyes, prepared himself mentally, and suddenly clapped loudly.

Snapped!
The applause was crisp.

With one slap, it seemed as if the whole world was quiet.

The prayers outside the window stopped, and the occasional evil cries also disappeared. All Wu Xian could feel was absolute silence and darkness.

He rubbed his palms, which were numb from exerting too much force, and waited in absolute darkness for the evil spirit to find him.

Time is a strange concept.

Often when people want time to slow down and prolong the good experience, time will run away like a mad horse.

On the contrary, the more people want time to pass quickly and get through the difficult times, the slower time moves.

For Wu Xian.

At this moment, the days feel like years!
In the absolute silence, Wu Xian's hearing became more sensitive. He could hear his own heartbeat, the ticking of the clock, and the uneasy restlessness in other rooms.

About five minutes later, Wu Xian heard other sounds.

Snap, hiss...

It wasn't the sound of footsteps, it was more like hands slapping the ground and dragging the body.

It’s the empty-bellied male corpse!
It's coming!
It came to find Wu Xian at this damn time!
……

Under the dim light.

A hollowed-out male corpse climbed up to the fourth floor of Ping An Hotel. His limbs were very strong, and his ruptured abdomen dragged on the ground, leaving a trail of blood behind him.

The male corpse had no internal organs, so moving was very difficult. Only until Wu Xian stopped moving did he slowly rush here.

He hated himself for being like this.

So he has to find Wu Xian and make himself whole again!
Since Wu Xian had smashed his internal organs, his empty abdominal cavity could be filled with Wu Xian's internal organs.

The sound of the male corpse crawling made the six survivors tremble with fear, adding a dangerous variable to this already risky clapping game.

The male corpse crawled through 401 and 402 and finally stopped at the door of 403.

"Found...my internal organs."

Wu Xian closed his eyes, but was able to detect the presence of the male corpse from the sound.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead and he felt extremely conflicted.

As long as this little ghost could open his eyes, he could easily chop it into pieces with his copper coin sword which still has eighty blades left!
But the worst thing is that he is waiting for the ghost mother who is looking for her son.

I dare not open my eyes at all!
He even didn't dare to rely on the copper coin spear for defense. The copper coin spear would heat up when encountering evil spirits, and it was too long. If the ghost mother looking for her son found Wu Xian and was accidentally injured by the copper coin spear, it might be regarded as an act of attack.

So Wu Xian could only clench his fists quietly.

He could only pray that after the male corpse touched him, he would have a chance to activate the Golden Crow Feather and use firepower to repel it. Suddenly.

The voice of the male corpse disappeared.

He went from lying down to standing hunched over, his speed suddenly increasing without making any sound. His horrified face was filled with greed and desire.

In just two seconds, he stood in front of Wu Xianshen, and the two faces were only a tongue's length apart.

Since the male corpse had no lungs, it couldn't breathe. Wu Xian didn't even notice his approach and was still waiting for him to crawl over and find an opportunity to punch him.

The male corpse grinned.

The skin on his arm was broken, and a bloody bone blade grew out of the bone, pointing at Wu Xian's abdominal cavity. He could almost imagine how comfortable and satisfying it would be after the new internal organs were installed in his body.

But at this moment, the male corpse froze.

Blah blah blah, blah blah...

New sounds appeared, the sound of dense chains colliding, and amid the clinking sounds, there were also the footsteps of women.

Wu Xian swallowed his saliva.

She is coming.

The world's original evil spirit, the ghost mother looking for her child!
Hearing the sounds of so many chains colliding, one can imagine how much restrictions the ghost mother looking for her child is subject to in the blessed land. Compared to her, the big evil spirit that broke into the door is considered free.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Wu Xian clapped his hands again to let the ghost mother know his location, and then the ghost mother walked towards Wu Xian.

The male corpse suddenly became restless.

It is not a normal evil spirit. Its internal organs have been hollowed out and its head is an empty shell. It is controlled only by its evil instincts. That is why it dares to step into the realm of the Ghost Mother.

But even such a brainless evil.

When the ghost mother approached, it became inexplicably frightened, so much so that even Wu Xian, who was so close to it, lost its appeal and turned around to escape.

As soon as it turned around, a pair of pale hands touched its face.

It dared not move, staring straight at the thing in front of it, and then looked at the two pale palms piercing into its eye sockets!
Wow!

The man's body fell to the ground and began to rot at a thousand times the normal speed.

The ghost mother looking for her son stepped over the corpse, waved her pale, bloody hands, groped forward, and finally found the source of the clapping, Wu Xian.

The cold hands groped Wu Xian's body, and the blood from the man's eyes also stained them.

Wu Xian closed his eyes tightly and endured it with gritted teeth.

Every time the palm touched Wu Xian, countless images were transmitted into Wu Xian's mind. Most of these images were faces, men and women, young and old, and their faces at the moment of death.

Crying, raging, or wailing...

Despair and fear, madness and regret, countless negative emotions hit Wu Xian's brain. Wu Xian even had the idea of ​​just opening his eyes and ending it all.

As long as the two continue to touch, this negative emotion will continue to flow in.

The ghost mother quickly found Wu Xian's eyes. She measured the position of his eyelids with both hands, leaned forward, and blew a breath into Wu Xian's eyes.

Now, Wu Xian has become the new seeker.

Except for Wu Xian, the other five survivors also felt a cool, foul smell blown across their eyelids at the same time.

Blowing air into the eyelids is the signal to switch the seeker.

After receiving the signal, Shi Ji immediately clapped his hands twice.

Wu Xian knew Shi Ji's location. After groping in the dark for two seconds, he found Shi Ji. He felt around to find his eyes and then blew into his eyes.

Since Wu Xian brushed his teeth carefully, what everyone smelled was the fresh scent of toothpaste.
