"Ding."

We have reached the lobby.

Tang Miao pushed Shen Qinyin out of the elevator, then looked back at the car shrouded in white light.

She couldn't help but feel a pang of fear at the thought that there was another terrifying entity in the basement below the elevator.

At the same time, her admiration for Shen Qinyin became even stronger.

We have been experiencing the doomsday for more than a month, so why is this disabled girl so much calmer than me?

If the roles were reversed, she didn't think she would dare to remain indifferent knowing that there was a entity lurking in the basement. She would have to leave this damn place even if it meant shaking her wheelchair to pieces.

After coming out of the elevator, Shen Qinyin remained motionless.

She said nothing, staring intently ahead with a scrutinizing gaze. A perception network imperceptible to others radiated out from her, covering an area of ​​fifty meters in radius.

Within this range, any movement related to the anomaly cannot escape her perception.

Tang Miao stared at her nervously, and she didn't dare to ask anything until Shen Qiyin spoke.

The darkness in the villa hall seemed to be even thicker than before, and the chill that penetrated the bone marrow seemed to be about to solidify into substance.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the biting cold made Tang Miao unconsciously straighten his body, and the hairs on his skin stood up.

Suddenly, Shen Qiyin said in a heavy tone: "Here it comes!"

Tang Miao's heart suddenly trembled. Even if Shen Qinyin didn't say it, she knew what was coming!

"Click, click, click..."

Outside the villa, there was a sudden sound of something moving.

The sound was very strange. It sounded like some wet, soft, blood-soaked piece of meat constantly hitting the floor.

The most important thing is that the sound is getting clearer and clearer, which means that something is approaching them.

Shen Qiyin stared at the gate of the villa, as if her eyes could see through it directly——

"Boom! Boom!!"

The next moment, an extremely violent collision sound suddenly exploded in the dead and silent night!

The tightly locked door of the villa's hall was shaking under the violent impact. With a final groan of being unable to bear the weight, the door finally couldn't bear it anymore and suddenly collapsed inward, stirring up a cloud of dust and wood chips!

A strong smell of blood rushed in along with the fog, penetrating the depression and darkness that had filled the hall for a long time.

As the two men watched nervously, the fog began to churn, and the strong smell of blood seemed to surge purposefully and converge towards the center.

Flesh and blood gradually took shape in the mist, interweaving into dense blood vessels and muscles in a strange way.

Countless tiny fragments of flesh and blood slowly gathered in the mist, forming a bloody tree trunk. The branches extended from slender and knotty bones, with bloody pieces of flesh hanging at the end, like fruits presented by the devil.

"That's what's going on!" Tang Miao said in a trembling voice. "That's what killed the investigation team last night! It's a creation of Green Haze, and it's extremely dangerous!"

Shen Qiyin stared grimly at the tree man made of flesh and blood in front of her. Her [Insight] allowed her to directly see how dangerous these strange beasts were.

She raised the Holy Spear of Exorcism, aimed at the opponent's huge body, and fired three shots in a row!

"Bang bang bang!"

The brilliant flames pierced through the tree man's flesh and blood like a meteor! The hole created by the gunfire quickly burned as if ignited by flames, covering its entire body with the momentum of a prairie fire!

But in just a few blinks of an eye, the huge flesh-and-blood tree man in front of him turned into a spot of light and disappeared.

Tang Miao couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this scene. The tree man who could easily wipe out an elite investigation team was killed instantly by Shen Qinyin!

At this moment, she couldn't help but feel a strong hope in her heart. As long as Shen Qinyin survived, they would be qualified to compete with this desperate world!

"Right, coming."

Shen Qinyin's voice interrupted her thoughts. Tang Miao turned her head and saw two identical tree men appear out of thin air on the right side of the originally empty hall.

Its trunk was thick and twisted, composed of countless intertwined blood vessels and muscles, and covered with wet skin with a dark red glow, as if every inch of it was beating.

Tang Miao raised his gun, aimed at the enemy, the first shot hit the tree trunk, the second shot hit the crown, and the third shot sent it to the west.

The two tree people were eliminated by them, and the hall returned to peace for a short time, but neither of them dared to let their guard down.

Shen Qiyin has discovered that although these tree people can be destroyed by the Holy Lance of Exorcism, the "Green Haze" can create countless such cannon fodder by relying on the thick fog.

The Holy Lance of Exorcism is ineffective against entities that tend to be idealistic. It is necessary to use exorcism items to cause damage to their entities in order to have a chance of survival.

In the quiet hall, the oppressive air became increasingly cold, making people feel cold all over.

The gradually decreasing temperature and the strong smell of death seemed to foreshadow that something extremely terrifying was waiting in the darkness.

One minute, three minutes, five minutes...

"call......"

Suddenly, an extremely cold aura appeared out of nowhere from behind Shen Qinyin's wheelchair!

That breath had even come to her, as if someone had leaned their head on her shoulder and was blowing into her ear!

At this moment, death has completely arrived!

"Tang Miao! Now! Get in the elevator!!"

Shen Qinyin yelled at Tang Miao. The latter had no idea what was going on, but Shen Qinyin's orders were everything to her!

Without thinking twice, she turned around, lifted Shen Qinyin's petite body from the wheelchair, and rushed to the nearby elevator, pressing the door-opening button!

While waiting for the elevator door to open, Shen Qinyin leaned on Tang Miao's shoulder, aimed at a tree man that appeared out of thin air not far away, and emptied the bullets of the Exorcist Holy Spear.

At the moment the tree man fell, the terrifying existence that was dormant in the darkness and was extremely evil finally revealed its true appearance.

It was a ball of dark green mist that seeped out from the shadows of the hall and slowly gathered together silently like a ghost, its color changing from light to dark, gradually forming a vague outline of a human figure.

"Yes, it's 'Green Haze'! It's the concrete form of 'Green Haze'!"

Tang Miao's eyes widened, her pupils almost bursting out of their sockets with fear.

A human-shaped silhouette formed by the green haze took a step forward and walked towards them with a twisted and strange posture, twitching.

The air began to be filled with sharp screams and shrill cries. These sounds seemed to come from another world, but they directly penetrated their bodies and struck deep into their hearts.

"Ding!"

The elevator door opens.

Shen Qiyin was carried into the elevator by Tang Miao. Tang Miao placed his hand on the control panel and finally realized what was happening. He asked dully, "Qiyin, where are we going after we get into the elevator?"

"Go to the basement."

"Basement? But that's not the place..."

"Believe me!"

Shen Qiyin's voice was resolute and calm. The three words "believe me" were like a reassurance, calming Tang Miao's anxious heart a little.

She gritted her teeth, slapped the button for the basement floor, and watched the elevator door slowly close.

However, something terrible happened.

Although the elevator door was completely closed, the green mist still seeped in slowly from outside through the gap!

The originally clear numbers and buttons on the control panel seemed to be eroded by an invisible force at this moment and began to become blurred.

The numbers jumped wildly, the lights in the car kept flickering, the flickering light and shadows were intertwined, and the nauseating stench of decay and blood filled the air, making it suffocate.

"It, it's coming in! Qiyin! It's coming in!"

"Calm down, I just want it to come in!"

"What, what did you say? Is it difficult, is it possible that you want to?!"

"Victory or failure depends on this one move, Tang Miao, remember, don't chase the rabbit!"

Tang Miao had already vaguely guessed Shen Qinyin's plan in her heart. She thought that this girl must be crazy. She would not dare to take such a risky approach even if she had ten thousand guts!

But now the arrow is on the string and has to be shot. Life or death depends on whether we can make a comeback this time!

The elevator car became extremely oppressive at this moment. The aura of death, so thick that it was almost tangible, tightly wrapped around the two of them like wet cloth.

The dark green "smog" gathered into a human-shaped outline, squeezed in from the gap, and under the two people's nervous gaze, gradually expanded into an extremely cold mist-like cloak!

Perhaps because they had already stepped half a foot into the underworld, the two could even clearly hear the shrill screams of a million wronged souls and evil spirits attached to the "cloak".

"Ding!"

The elevator finally reached the basement.

The cold door slowly opened to both sides. Tang Miao, who was almost depressed to the point of collapse, carried Shen Qinyin on his back and plunged into the basement where it was pitch dark and the darkness was barely dispelled by the light from the elevator.

The human-shaped silhouette of the "green haze" followed the two of them slowly.

It was like a hunter chasing dying prey, enjoying this extremely uneven hunt.

But, just when it was halfway through its journey and about to catch up with the two of them—

"Da da da......"

A crisp, heart-stopping sound of footsteps suddenly echoed in the basement.

The pace of the "green haze" suddenly stopped at this moment.

The human figure it concretized clearly had no facial features, but it gave Shen Qiyin the feeling that its "sight" was fixed on the wall at the end of the basement.

And at the end of its "sight", on the pale wall.

A cold metal door slowly opened at this moment...

In the airtight basement, a chilling wind that penetrated into the bone marrow suddenly blew up out of nowhere.

Two extremely terrifying auras emanated from both sides of the two people at the same time.

Shen Qinyin pinched Tang Miao's shoulders hard, and the latter immediately understood. He hurriedly hugged Shen Qinyin tightly, trying hard not to be dominated by fear, and took her to hide in the corner.

The notebook gave Shen Qinyin the ability of insight, allowing her to perceive her surroundings even in a pitch-black basement.

The metal door at the end that shouldn't have existed was completely open.

As the metal door opened, a shadow that could only be described as "distorted" squeezed out from behind the door.

Shen Qiyin couldn't see the shape of the thing, but relying on her own perception, she managed to copy the general outline of the thing in her mind -

It was a wet, sticky "mollusk" that looked like a combination of a spider and hair.

The pitch-black skin seemed to be covered with a layer of sticky mucous membrane, and eight tentacles supported the sea urchin-shaped ball in the middle that kept expanding and contracting.

A strange chewing sound, like the sound of flesh and bones being crushed, echoed with its appearance. The extremely suppressed and indescribable fear was woven into an intricate web, constantly polluting and eroding the cognition of the creature.

The almost tangible breath of death made Shen Qinyin's heart tremble, but she could feel that the strong murderous intent was not directed at them.

As the basement entity she called "The Lurker" continued to approach, the "Green Haze", which was also an entity, finally began to show abnormalities.

The human-shaped outline it formed kept flickering like a "bad signal". Facing the approach of the "lurker", the "green haze" actually began to twist and collapse.

The next second, the twisted body of the "Lurker" suddenly expanded into a huge black cloak, and without saying anything, it pounced towards the "Green Haze", tightly wrapping around it and swallowing it!

Although Tang Miao, who was snuggling tightly with Shen Qiyin, did not have as strong perception as her, he could also feel that a fierce fight seemed to have broken out between the two entities.

When she realized this fact, she felt two strong emotions, fear and admiration, surge in her heart at the same time.

The fear was because the oppressive feeling from the two entities was too strong. It could even be said that if Tang Miao was distracted for a moment, his cognition would be polluted and he would become a pile of rotten meat.

As for admiration, it was naturally for Shen Qinyin.

She was simply crazy. She had planned from the very beginning to let the two entities "fight each other" so that they could escape!

But how dare she do that? How could she be so sure that the entities would fight?

Indeed, Shen Qiyin was not 100% sure that the two entities would fight each other. She just made a bold assumption based on extremely limited information.

First of all, it is an established fact that entities possess a certain degree of intelligence.

Intelligent creatures generally need "resources", whether the resources they need are the pollution of human cognition or simply the desire to kill.

In other words, as long as they possess intelligence, they will inevitably take a series of actions to meet their own needs, and their way of doing things is traceable.

When Shen Qiyin first encountered the "lurkers" in the basement, she realized that these entities also had a "territorial consciousness."

That thing had been lurking in Shen Qinyin's basement for an unknown period of time, and it never showed up. Even though the actual distance between them was only one floor, as long as Shen Qinyin didn't go to the basement, it wouldn't come out to cause trouble for her.

As the saying goes, there can't be two tigers in one mountain. This logic may also apply to "lurkers".

From the fact that Shengmu only managed to buy himself less than a minute when attacked by the "Lurker" before, Shen Qiyin could be sure that the level of the "Lurker" was definitely higher than that of the "Green Haze".
