A Judge in Escape Game Chapter 10

At the same time, the lights on the ceiling suddenly went out.

The only source of light was the faint green light at the door.

Ethan Qi looked over and saw that the corridor outside was completely shrouded in this dim green light, exuding an aura that was not of this world.

Noah Zheng and Jake Wu at the door, just as Ethan Qi had expected, knocked the already broken body to the ground with their bones scattered all over the ground.

The two ghosts were unrecognizable, their leg bones were completely broken, and only a piece of skin was left on the lower body sticking to the ground.

They crawled in using their hands to support themselves, their movements twisted and slow.

Noah Zheng even raised his head, revealing his not-so-good-looking face. His forehead had been completely shrunk by the impact of the car accident, like a deflated football.

He smiled at Ethan Qi and said, "We are here to accompany you."

Ethan Qi turned his head away, really not wanting to look at such a dull scene. His eyes fell on the talisman, and he could only think that this talisman might be a trap.

Just as Noah Zheng and Jake Wu were crawling closer and closer, their hands, with pale bones exposed through broken skin, were about to touch Ethan Qi.

The talisman on the table lit up, and a dark red light suddenly poured out, overwhelming the dark green light and sweeping towards the two ghosts.

Jake Wu suddenly withdrew his hand, he looked up, and the expression on his face became even more distorted.

"You...it was you...who asked us to come back..."

Perhaps because of the impact in the car accident, most of Jake Wu's lips were cut off and his speech was a little unclear.

"I didn't. Didn't you add the stuff in without my permission?" Ethan Qi said with some disdain, "With your unsightly appearance, I respectfully decline your offer."

After hearing this, Jake Wu seemed to become furious, and even his broken body could not suppress the outburst of anger.

He rushed towards Ethan Qi and was about to strangle Ethan Qi's throat with both hands.

At the critical moment, the red light of the talisman surged and filled the entire dormitory.

"Ah---"

The moment Jake Wu was enveloped by the red light, he let out a shrill howl, as if he was in severe pain.

As he screamed, the bloody body gradually melted in the red light.

The same scene happened to Noah Zheng behind him.

After the red light faded, the dormitory fell into darkness again. There was no faint green light and no unrecognizable ghosts.

It's quiet.

Then, the light above Ethan Qi's head flickered a few times and lit up again.

Ethan Qi walked to the balcony and confirmed that the white business car below had disappeared before he sat back at the desk.

The talisman on the table had turned into a pile of ashes, but Ethan Qi did not feel much relief.

The game is not over yet.

He was still in this shabby dormitory, which meant that Noah Zheng and Jake Wu were indeed just two small bosses.

In the end, the boss is still somewhere, waiting to take his life.

Liam Duan.

Ethan Qi lowered his eyes and looked at the tattered book.

As expected, this spell failed to send Liam Duan away. According to the book, once a spell is cast, there is only one chance to regret, and if the obsession is too strong when the spell is cast, the spell to save the situation will not work.

Considering the madness displayed in the diary, it is natural that the talisman cannot send Liam Duan away.

Ethan Qi leaned back in his chair and sighed.

It has to be said that he still had a certain amount of luck before, thinking that perhaps he could pass the level with the help of the talisman.

"This novice level is so tricky, is the purpose just to send the novices to death?" He covered his eyes and sighed.

The phone rang.

Ethan Qi picked up the phone and knew who it was without even looking: "Liam Duan."

There was another soft laugh from the other end, totally unlike Liam Duan who had been behaving like an ice cube in the past few days.

"You did very well,

Ethan Qi had no other choice at this time, so he asked desperately: "Where are you?"

Liam Duan's voice was very ethereal, sounding far away yet close: "Don't worry, I'm always with you, watching over you."

As soon as the words fell.

Tick-tick-tick-tick

The familiar sound of dripping water rang out again. Ethan Qi stood up and his eyes fell on his bed.

The sound of dripping water, what Liam Duan said about looking at you, and the blood on the bed curtain that day.

Ethan Qi took a deep breath, took a few steps forward, and placed his hands on the bed curtain.

With a sudden force, he pulled down the entire bed curtain along with the mosquito net.

There was nothing unusual. After the bed curtains fell, the space suddenly seemed a little more spacious, and even the lights seemed a little brighter.

Ethan Qi sighed and picked up the sketchbook that he had just thrown on the bed.

The image of Liam Duan on the notebook still only had the outline that was drawn during the day. Ethan Qi stared at the painting in a daze.

Thinking about it carefully, he also found it strange that he still had time to study this painting at such a critical moment of life and death.

Ethan Qi actually doesn't have much fear of death. He believes that death is just another beginning. This idea is a truth in his heart like the sun rising in the east and setting in the west.

Of course, he didn't want to die at all, for a very simple reason. It was still an inexplicable intuition that he always felt that if he died in this inexplicable place, his good days would probably be over.

Forget it. There's no point standing here like an idiot. I might as well take a nap first.

Ethan Qi's laziness came back and he didn't delay any longer and went straight to bed.

He was not the protagonist of the game who couldn't sleep because of a little light. Even after the street lights outside returned to normal, Ethan Qi quickly fell asleep by invading the dormitory so unscrupulously.

I don’t know how much time had passed, but Ethan Qi heard a sigh in his ear.

The sigh was very light, but it was like a muffled thunder exploding in his ear, directly dragging him out of his sleep.

Ethan Qi thought he was dreaming at this time and was about to turn over and continue sleeping, but he felt a warmth on his cheek.

It was like warm water dripping on his face. Ethan Qi wiped it casually, and the touch of it made him wake up completely.

Ethan Qi felt that something was wrong with this sticky feeling, and he put his hand to his nose and smelled it in a daze.

Now all his sleepiness flew away and he became completely awake.

This is clearly blood!

He said that it was so quiet today and there was no dripping sound. It turned out that after he pulled down the bed curtains, the blood dripped directly onto the bed and himself, so of course there was no sound.

Ethan Qi didn't open his eyes. He felt that he needed to be mentally prepared.

There was indeed nothing unusual in the dormitory just now, but Ethan Qi remembered some knowledge about evil spirits that he had read in folk books.

Some ghosts cannot be seen at any time or place. They will only show their true appearance at a specific time and under specific circumstances.

Thinking about it this way, the time of the dripping water sound seemed to be fixed in these few nights, and it only appeared when Ethan Qi was lying on the bed and it was pitch black.

The time and environment were not right, so he didn't find anything after pulling down the bed curtains just now.

Ethan Qi took a deep breath and opened his eyes only after making sure that he could calmly accept no matter how tragic and ugly the scene before him was.

Yes, what Ethan Qi was worried about was not seeing the horrific scene, but he didn’t want to see Liam Duan’s perfect face become a mess.

What Ethan Qi fears most is seeing beautiful things destroyed before his eyes.

...

Ethan Qi was stunned, not because what he saw was too tragic, but because it unexpectedly shook his heart.

A familiar yet unfamiliar person appeared in front of him.

Liam Duan's face was still clean and handsome. He had his eyes closed and there was no expression on his face, like a perfect sculpture.

He was wearing the same clothes he wore when he left the dormitory on the first day, but they were not as clean as when he came back. They were stained with blood. The blood had dried and turned brown, looking like blooming flowers painted on the clothes.

The parts where the clothes were exposed were closely stitched together with black thread in many places, as if the body had been broken into many pieces, and then a skilled undertaker was hired to sew the pieces together.

Those black lines spread to the ceiling, hanging Liam Duan tightly in the gap between the ceiling and the bed curtains like a puppet.

The ceiling, which should have been pure white, was now covered with large dark red flowers. They were the flowers of death that bloomed from Liam Duan's blood.

Very beautiful.

Ethan Qi remained silent under the impact of this strong beauty.

That's why Liam Duan said he was always watching him, that's why there was the sound of dripping water at night, and that's why Ethan Qi didn't find any trace of Liam Duan in the dormitory.

Liam Duan's eyelashes moved slightly, and then he opened his eyes.

His eyes were still black and white, like a piece of unmelting ice.

"You found me."

Liam Duan spoke.

Ethan Qi just lay there, not moving or answering, and he didn't know what to say.

He didn't feel any fear, he just kept silent because he was shocked by this strange beauty. Something seemed to surge in Ethan Qi's heart, and he couldn't wait to draw a picture for Liam Duan.

"As a reward for being so smart..."

The dense black lines wrapped around Liam Duan's body slowly stretched out, lowering him from the ceiling.

The distance between the two people was getting closer and closer, and finally, Liam Duan's face was only a dozen centimeters away from Ethan Qi.

Liam Duan was still hanging in the air by the black line. As the distance got closer, Ethan Qi could see the details more clearly.

His body was indeed broken into several pieces. Without these black lines, it would have turned into a pile of corpses in an instant.

Liam Duan saw Ethan Qi's gaze on him and smiled lightly: "Are you scared? It is normal for people who died in a plane crash to be broken into several pieces."

Ethan Qi saw Liam Duan's movements were stiff and disorganized, like a puppet controlled by strings.

But that face was still cold and handsome.

His skin color was a little abnormal, pale with a hint of blue, a color that only people who had been dead for a while would have. This made his already overly handsome features look even more unlike those of a human, a beauty not of my kind.

"These lines?" Qi Wu asked.

Liam Duan seemed to be somewhat surprised that Ethan Qi would ask this question. He replied: "Without these lines, I cannot control my body."

The distance between the two of them narrowed a little.

A drop of blood fell on Ethan Qi's lips.

Blood was flowing from Liam Duan's heart, which seemed to be a fatal wound. It was probably caused by flying debris during the plane crash that cut open his chest and pierced his heart.

No wonder his expression was so calm, a moment of death did not bring too much pain, Ethan Qi thought.

Liam Duan said: "How about this, I'll take you away and stay with you forever."
