"So... I came to ask me for help?"

Wen Zimei looked at the three people who were rushing to the dust in front of her and couldn't help but sigh: "Okay... OK... I understand. This secret passage is indeed very suitable. You are thinking very thoughtful."

Zhao Ji will die in a horror film called "Shadow Demon". This horror film tells the story of a girl who was bullied and died. Her resentment caused her shadow to gain life and constantly kill those who bullied her. Horror films with revenge as the theme are also common and have no new genres, but in reality, you will find that this is really a very difficult problem.

To deal with that shadow, you have to enter a completely dark place without a light source. However, the protagonist in the movie also came up with this method and tried to deal with the shadow. However, the shadow will always find a way to make the environment he enters to generate a light source and finally brutally kill the protagonist.

Learning from the lessons from the movie, Ajing took Zhao Ji and rushed to the fishing village in City A before dark, and met Zi Mei again in the secret passage.

"I understand..." The four of them sat cross-legged on the ground in the corridor where they were unable to see their fingers. Although the ground was very wet, it was not the time to worry about it now.

"Now... I don't know what time it's going to be, but there's nothing I can do." A Jing groped in the darkness, finally grabbed Zi Mei's hand and said, "Listen... Well, to be honest, no one can see anyone in the dark, and he really has no idea. He learned the lesson of Yuan Xiu's death and wanted to prevent the cursed from being suddenly transferred to another place. Zi Mei, you should have the ability to do it, right?"

"Yes... Of course, I am a psychic. But I guarantee that this would not happen in this secret passage, because in order to prevent the villagers from discovering this, I spread my spiritual energy everywhere in the secret passage. Moreover, I have a physique of a ghost. No matter how powerful that shadow is, it is not comparable to a ghost, right? Mr. Zhao Ji? Don't worry, in this place, your life can be basically guaranteed to be safe."

Next, Ajing considered various unexpected situations.

The first thing is whether this secret passage can completely isolate the light source. Zi Mei secretly took the electricity here, so A Jing knew this very well, so she asked her to cut off the power supply, and temporarily sealed it with a nail to open the secret passage door, and finally, she would remove the things that could emit light from everyone.

Fortunately, Zhao Ji didn't smoke, he didn't have a lighter or match, and he couldn't carry his phone, so he put it in the car. After checking that there was nothing that could reflect light on his body, everyone sat in this absolutely dark place. Even if there were tiny gaps that could transmit light, he would definitely not create a space that could form a shadow.

Now everyone is sitting in this dark environment.

"Zi Mei, the alarm clock has been set to midnight, right? Are you sure there is no luminous function?"

"Yes, sure. Now this is a pure and absolutely impermeable dark world, and the entrance has been blocked. I also release my supernatural abilities as much as possible, and use my strength to ensure that Mr. Zhao's body will not move to other places... It should be foolproof."

"I don't want to 'should', Running the dark, you must not release the soul-devouring eyes, because at that time the eyes will emit some light. Although it will not produce enough light to form a shadow, and the time is short, we cannot leave any gaps in the shadow."

In this way, everyone held hands and sat cross-legged together. They held hands because this was the only way to make sure that the other party was always by their side.

In this completely dark environment, even if there are no ghosts, it is already terrifying enough.

Suddenly, a ringing ring sounded, cheering everyone up.

It's midnight and the date of death is coming!

Everyone began to get nervous. A Jing, who held Zhao Ji's hand, asked: "Zhao Ji...is it still you?"

She was really afraid that she was holding something else now.

"Ah, it's me, Miss Ren...we really want to keep this state for twenty-four hours?"

"If you want to die, just go out."

"I...I just ask..."

There is no way to know how much time has passed in the dark. I was busy all day yesterday and didn’t even have time to sleep. It’s not normal to not sleep at this time.

Although he yawned and his eyelids kept fighting, everyone warned himself in his heart: If you can't sleep, you will be done after sleeping. Especially Zhao Ji, he knew that after a minute, his hope of survival would be more. Looking back on the deaths of the previous few people, if Runan An and A Jing had not promised to protect him, he would have really collapsed.

Zhao Ji told Runan and the others that he actually still had some doubts about whether there are real ghosts in this world. He studied science and always despised the superstitious ideas of non-scientificity. If there weren't too many incredible things this time, he wouldn't have considered it from the perspective of ghosts and gods. He would only think that who killed them.

Do ghosts really exist? And they are ghosts in movies? The movies are just made up. Those ghosts are either humans or computer special effects. How can they come out and kill people? If you fully agree with these things, it is equivalent to completely denying his previous worldview.

But... all kinds of facts are in front of you, and ghosts do exist...

A Jing finally couldn't hold on anymore, so she suggested: "It's better... Let's take turns to sleep, at least one person is awake. Well, I can't see the time so dark. Zi Mei, let you wake up first. You can chant from 1 to 1000 in your heart and wake up one of us after waking up one of us, but let that person wake up... so what?"

"All right……"

Now, Runan and Ajing immediately closed their eyelids, and in less than a minute, they all fell asleep. Zhao Ji seemed to be unable to resist the sleepy insects and eventually started snoring.

Zi Mei held Zhao Ji's hand tightly and began to count in her heart.

In this way, shifts took turns to change round after round. Everyone barely slept and woke up, and then fell asleep, and finally they all fell asleep.

The first person to wake up was Runan.

"What's going on...How long have I slept? Ah, everyone, get up quickly, is Zhao Ji still there?"

Everyone was woken up by him. Everyone rubbed their eyes and yawned, but they still felt weak all over, but they all reacted immediately. After confirming that Zhao Ji was still there, everyone finally felt relieved.

"What time is it now?"

"The alarm clock has not ringed, which means it is not midnight yet, but it is probably around six to seven in the morning... People usually wake up naturally at this time." Runan inferred this way. Compared with the previous few, Zhao Ji lived a longer life.

Sure enough, there is nothing to do? No, there are still many ways to bring the light into this basement, but the purple aura is everywhere, which can be said to be double insurance.

"Chang Kun."

"Longyue."

"Hmm? What does it mean?" Zhao Ji asked in confusion.

"Check to confirm whether the other party is still that person. This is not the first time we have encountered such a thing."

"Then...what is me? How do you know for sure I am me?"

"It's okay... My supernatural ability can sense your existence. If you are no longer you, then I can't feel it. As for Zi Mei, we completely believe in her ghost physique."

"Haha...I just think you are praising me."

However, for Runan, a glimmer of hope was ignited. As long as Zhao Ji can live until midnight today, then the death curse of him and Runli and Ajing can be eliminated...

Yes, I was rescued with Ajing...

Runan was no longer as vigilant as he was at the beginning. He had completely believed and regarded her as a companion, and hoped to be rescued with her. If in the end, only him and Runli could be saved and Ajing would die, he would not be happy. Without Ajing, he was still the poor worm who escaped his fate, but now he could challenge fate.

Without A Jing, he would not be able to fight any longer in the future, and he would not be able to face the upcoming terrifying curse.

No matter what the final result is, Ajing is destined to be an important turning point in his life. She is the most important person to himself in this world, besides Runli.

"After that... Runanan," A Jing suddenly said, "There is something that you don't feel strange? Why can't we find the ninth person? No one can remember the existence of that person. So far, you have never had a premonition about him, right?"

"That's true. Why?"

"My guess is... Zhao Ji, please listen to me and help me analyze. The ninth person may not exist at all."

“No… does not exist?”

"Yes... that day, no one could remember who the ninth person was... that was a strange thing in itself, right?"

Yes, everyone remembers that there were nine people watching horror movies that day, but none of them remembered the person's appearance. Tu Bingzong, the only person who knew the existence of the ninth, was dead. His relics were all burned, so there was no way to find out who the ninth person was. Originally, Runan had recorded everyone's appearance in his graduation manual in his mind. As soon as the image of the ninth person appeared, he could take a seat and find the other person.

However, what if the ninth person does not exist?

Thinking about it this way, it would be too creepy. It was obviously nine people gathered to watch horror movies, and there were nine people, but in fact, the ninth person did not exist!

The ninth person... Could it be...

Fenghui, who was still sleeping soundly at home, was awakened by the rapid phone ringing. He opened his eyes slightly, took the microphone beside him, and picked it up and said, "Hey... who is it?"

"Is it Gao Fenghui? Is it you? I finally found your phone number in the phone book at home. Help... Help, I called the police station just now, but everyone said I was a lunatic..."

"Yes... you are crazy, who are you... I don't know you..."

"You... don't know me anymore? I was one of the people who were invited by Bingzong to watch horror movies on Halloween! Didn't there be nine people that day?"

"Oh... well... what!" He woke up most of the wine immediately and asked quickly: "You... are the ninth person? Really, I'm making it easy for me to find! I said why don't you come to Bingzong's funeral?"

"Because I have never liked to read news and newspapers... No, I won't mention this anymore. I am now hiding in a public toilet at the junction of Dongyao Road and Beishi Road. I only found out that Bingzong died strangely. Actually, I don't know if you noticed that the horror movies we watched that day had pictures that shouldn't appear, and there were real ghosts! Please come and save me quickly, I'm going to die..."

"No, don't worry, your death date has not arrived yet. Forget it, let's not mention this... Tell me what your name is, I'll come here immediately!"

"That's great...my name is Zhao Ji..."

The phone in Fenghui's hand fell to the ground instantly, and he was completely stunned for a moment.

At this moment, Zhao Ji, who was hiding in a single room in the public toilet and holding a cell phone, kept shouting at the cell phone. However, he watched a shadow crawl into the gap in the door in fear, and the shadow's hand looked like he was holding a rope, and then it coiled tightly around the neck of his shadow reflected on the wall.

"Ah...I...I can't do it anymore...Ah..."

His cell phone fell to the ground, his feet kept pushing against the ground, but he couldn't escape, and his neck was getting tighter and tighter...

Soon, he stopped struggling completely, his phone fell to the ground, and Feng Hui's shout came from inside: "Hey, hey, are you talking? Hey!"

At this time, in the secret passage, Runan suddenly couldn't feel Zhao Ji's existence, and hurriedly touched the surroundings, but couldn't touch anything.

"Zhao Ji...he...where is he?"

Of course, Runan couldn't find that "Zhao Ji".

The ninth person does not exist.
