Chapter 32 Curse of Malice
Without the interference of the male corpse, the clapping game went very smoothly.

Player number two, Shi Ji, replaced Wu Xian and became the new seeker.

Then player number three, Yue Mei, quickly clapped her hands three times in a row. She was ready to be found.

Shi Ji closed his eyes and did not go looking for Yue Mei.

Instead, he groped in the darkness, looking for the source of another applause in the room. He wanted to find the ghost mother who was looking for her son and let her take over the task of looking for Yue Mei.

This was also something they had discussed in advance.

One room in the hotel is too crowded to accommodate six survivors, but if you play the game in separate rooms, you will have to face the scenario of looking for people across rooms.

This is too dangerous.

And the possibility of accidents is very high.

So Wu Xian proposed a strategy, that is, when it is necessary to change rooms, the seeker will find the ghost mother and let her become the seeker, crossing the room to find the next person to clap.

In this way, the three groups of survivors do not have to leave their rooms, safety is greatly improved, and the entire game process becomes controllable.

The rooms in the hotel are not big.

Shi Ji quickly found the tattered clothes and found the ghost mother who was looking for her son.

But switching seekers is not an easy task.

Shi Ji nervously groped the ghost mother's body until his claws were about to cramp. He had never touched a girl in his life, but when he thought that he was touching a super evil spirit, he no longer had any romantic thoughts. He was afraid that he would touch some place that he shouldn't touch and be killed by the ghost mother.

And the worst thing is that every time Shi Ji touched the ghost mother, some miserable images would come to his mind. These desperate images made his expression distorted and his spirit was on the verge of collapse several times.

Fortunately, Shi Ji finally touched the ghost mother's eyes.

He trembled as he approached the ghost mother and blew a breath of turbid air into her eyes.

Wu Xian instantly smelled the smell of pig intestines...

Seeker switch complete!
The ghost mother pushed Shi Ji away, followed the sound of Yue Mei's clapping, and slowly groped towards Room 401. Her movements were very slow, like a real blind person, but no matter how far the distance was, she could always find the next survivor within ten minutes.

Listen to the ghost mother's footsteps leaving the room.

Wu Xian and Shi Ji breathed a sigh of relief at the same time; they had finally passed this level.

It will be safe for a long time until the last player, Su Huiqin, blows on the eyelids of the ghost mother looking for her child, and then a new round will begin.

The two men fumbled around, one sitting on the bed and the other sitting on a chair, breathing heavily. Just coming into contact with the ghost mother had already caused them mental trauma.

If I really opened my eyes and looked at her, I would probably die miserably.

Shi Ji complained to Wu Xian in a low voice.

"Oh my god, Brother Xian, I almost peed myself just now. If I hadn't always been around shit and farts and had trained my nerves to be extremely strong, I would have been driven crazy by that scene."

"Did you see those scenes, too?"

"Of course, it's too tragic..."

Wu Xian nodded in empathy. He claimed to be a man of strong will, but under the impact of that scene, his spirit was shaken several times. If it were an ordinary person, he would probably...

Just as he thought of this, Wu Xian's face suddenly changed.

"Oops, not good!"

Shi Ji's heart suddenly started beating fast: "What's wrong? Did something go wrong again?"

Wu Xian said with a gloomy face: "The mental impact of coming into contact with the ghost mother looking for her child is difficult for even you and me to resist, and Yue Mei is the one with the weakest will among us. How can she survive the mental pollution?"

"Maybe... she's gentle on the outside but strong on the inside?"

"Well, even if she really has a strong will, then why is she still so radiant after going through two nights of hell, and so respectful to the ghost mother who is looking for her child?"

Shi Ji could not answer. Wu Xian gritted his teeth, and had a bad feeling in his heart. He was afraid that Yue Mei, who had returned, was no longer the same person. She brought the ghost mother looking for her child not to help everyone solve the dilemma, but for other purposes...

But due to the rules of the clapping game.

Even if Wu Xian guessed the truth, he had no way to warn others. He could only pray that everyone would be vigilant enough against Yue Mei.

……

Room 401.

Yue Mei was found by the ghost mother who was looking for her son.

She groped in the darkness and found Wen Chao standing on the other side, and the searcher switched again.

For a normal old man.

This kind of game is too exciting. I'm afraid that not long after starting it, high blood pressure or heart disease will suddenly explode and I'll die on the spot.

But Wen Chao's movements were very steady.

He closed his eyes tightly and searched along the edge of the room bit by bit, leaving no blind spot. No matter where the ghost mother looking for her son hid, he would find her in the end.

In his long scientific research career, he had long understood that being nervous was useless.

But he didn't notice that something unexpected had happened.

Yue Mei, who had just gotten rid of her identity as a seeker, actually opened her eyes.

She looked at Wen Chao's actions coldly, and when she saw that Wen Chao finally touched the ghost mother, a vicious smile appeared on her face.

This was an expression she would never show before.

That day, under the guidance of the old woman, she worshipped the ghost mother who was looking for her son, and that night she played the clapping game to save her life.

She kept cheering herself up.

But when the ghost mother looking for her son really touched her, the endless negative emotions that poured in instantly broke down her already fragile mental defenses.

She opened her eyes and faced the original evil in this blessed land.

She was not killed by having her eyes gouged out. Instead, she was forgiven by the Ghost Mother. The price was that she had to become a believer of the Ghost Mother and offer her high-quality flesh and blood.

Believers of the Ghost Mother can reduce the impact of negative emotions when playing the clapping game, and gain the favor of the Ghost Mother, obtaining the privilege of briefly opening their eyes in the game, thereby increasing their chances of survival in the blessed land.

But the price is that sacrifices must be offered to the ghost mother every once in a while.

She was ignorant and thought she had found a way to escape when she was worshiping the statue of the Ghost Mother, but in fact, the old woman regarded her as a sacrifice to the Ghost Mother.

After becoming a believer.

Yue Mei also has to offer sacrifices regularly, otherwise the Ghost Mother will make her pay the price for breaking the rules at any time. And the sacrifices the Ghost Mother wants are the same as hers, high-quality flesh and blood that has not been contaminated by this world!
So, Yue Mei thought of the other survivors.

Yue Mei, who became a believer, felt more and more that her former self was so ridiculous, and all that was left in her heart was hatred for Wu Xian and others.

Just as Wen Chao was about to touch the ghost mother's eyes and complete the conditions of the game, Yue Mei made a vicious and sharp voice.

"I'm sorry, Professor Wen."

"I can't do anything about it. You can only blame yourself."

"If even one of you had been willing to help me, I wouldn't have ended up like this. Now it's your turn to pay for the wrong decision you made!"

Without waiting for Wen Chao's reply.

Yue Mei stretched out her hand towards Wen Chao's eyes, she wanted to force Wen Chao to open his eyes!
