Who says a sickly daughter can’t break through the weirdness?

Chapter 4 Evil Spirit

After eating the cucumber, although I still didn’t feel full, I wasn’t as hungry as before.

She looked around and found the food piled up together, a thoughtful look on her face.

She is not the only one living in the manor. There are also maids and housekeepers who take care of her daily life. Every month, the supermarket's vehicle will deliver a batch of fresh ingredients to the manor on time.

The food delivered will be stored in the basement...

Yes, the basement.

Maybe there's a reserve of bottled water there.

Shen Qiyin maneuvered the wheelchair and came to the vertical lift on the other side.

The basement of the villa can be reached via stairs and elevator. Given Shen Qinyin's condition, she definitely couldn't walk up the stairs, so she could only take the elevator downstairs.

Although it is not clear how much food can be stored in the basement, based on the frequency of delivery vehicles from the fresh food supermarket, the food stored inside should be enough for one person to eat for at least one or two years.

The elevator door slowly opened with a "ding" sound. Shen Qiyin slowly drove the wheelchair in, adjusted the direction with difficulty, and pressed the B1 button.

"Om-"

The sound of the elevator was particularly clear in the empty villa, and an indescribable feeling of loneliness suddenly came over Shen Qinyin at this moment.

I don’t know if I’m thinking too much, but the moment the elevator door closed, I felt completely isolated from the outside world.

As the elevator slowly descended, an indescribable chill rose from the soles of my feet, gradually spreading throughout my body. It was as if an invisible force was wandering in this confined space, searching for an exit, or perhaps...

Looking for the next target.

"Ding."

We have arrived at the basement floor.

Because there was no electricity, the entire basement was pitch black, and only the faint light from the elevator car could barely illuminate the small area in front of the elevator.

However, Shen Qiyin was prepared for this. She took out a flashlight, pressed the switch, and the bright beam of light instantly illuminated most of the basement.

The area of ​​the basement is not large. The floor plan shows that it is more than 70 square meters, which is definitely enough to store some sundries and items that can be stored for a long time.

Because it is not used frequently, the basement has only been simply decorated. Several shelves in the corner are arranged in an orderly manner with some large and small plastic barrels and woven bags, which are filled with bagged millet and flour.

What surprised her even more was that in addition to rice, flour, grain and oil, there were also several barrels of bottled water ordered from the water plant.

This is due to her mother's almost "superstitious" pursuit of drinking water. She believes that only drinking high-end purified water specially supplied by big brand manufacturers can ensure Shen Qinyin's health, so the water Shen Qinyin drinks is specially ordered.

But her mother herself had no particular requirements for the water she drank. Shen Qiyin had even seen her drinking filtered water straight from the tap...

In short, with these things, I won’t have to worry about food and drink at least in the short term.

Shen Qiyin suppressed her excitement, took out the backpack she had brought with her, and planned to pack some food upstairs.

"Zizzizi."

The flashlight in his hand flickered a few times for unknown reasons, and emitted a slight electric sound.

Shen Qiyin thought that the flashlight had malfunctioned due to long-term disuse, so she didn't pay much attention to it.

However, just as the flashlight flashed for the third time, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in the corner of her eye!

The sudden glimpse of the black shadow made Shen Qinyin's heart shrink, and she quickly shone the flashlight towards the location of the black shadow.

But, there was nothing there.

illusion?

No, in horror movies, whenever characters see a ghost, they think it is their own illusion, and then they are killed by the ghost. She doesn't want to make that mistake.

Shen Qiyin swallowed, pulled the backpack bag that was less than half full, put her fingers on the joystick of the electric wheelchair, started the engine, and slowly retreated to the rear where the elevator was.

Suddenly, faint footsteps were heard in the dark basement.

The footsteps sounded like someone wearing metal shoes stepping on the ground, and the sound was particularly crisp.

Shen Qinyin hurriedly picked up the flashlight and shone it around the basement.

What was strange was that even though the footsteps were continuous, there was no one in the basement except Shen Qinyin, which was so empty that it could be seen at a glance!

No, I shouldn't say that. Although I don't know what that thing is, it's definitely not a human!

"Da da da."

The sound became louder and louder, as if the owner of the footsteps was getting closer and closer.

Shen Qiyin operated the wheelchair bit by bit and slowly moved backwards.

"Zizzizi!"

The flashlight flickered again like a death spell, and this time the frequency of the flickering was obviously much higher than before, as if it would go out completely in the next second.

Suddenly, the footsteps stopped abruptly.

It was as if the other party had already arrived at the destination.

With the help of this last clear sound of footsteps, Shen Qinyin finally locked the source of the sound at the innermost end of the basement!

Using the flickering light of the flashlight, this time, Shen Qinyin clearly saw that in the dark corner of the basement stood a door with a cold metallic luster.

She had been to the basement several times with her mother. She remembered that it was the villa's distribution box and there was no metal door at all!

The sound of footsteps coming closer and closer just now gave people the feeling that there was a huge space behind the door.

Every time the flashlight flickered, Shen Qiyin would see dark shadows like tentacles seeping out from the door, twisting and wriggling in extremely evil and strange postures...

What the fuck are those?!

Shen Qinyin swallowed hard, and cold sweat oozed from her forehead.

The increasingly icy cold felt like countless needles piercing her body, causing every cell in her body to tremble!

She pulled the backpack into her arms and used her free hand to grasp the Holy Lance of Exorcism.

At the same time, there was a slight "click" sound from where the metal door was, as if the door handle was being turned.

The "thing" standing behind the door is trying to open it.

Shen Qiyin almost held her breath, her mind highly concentrated, her eyes fixed on the metal door.

At the same time, the exorcist's holy spear in her hand was aimed at the door.

The locking knob under the metal door lock turned gently, and then the door was slowly pushed open...

Shen Qiyin didn't dare to breathe, her finger was already on the trigger.

Once that thing comes out, she will empty all her bullets without hesitation!

However, at this moment, an extremely strong sense of panic rushed into Shen Qinyin's brain, causing her to suddenly feel a sense of urgent crisis!

This sense of crisis gave her the feeling that if this door was completely opened and she hadn't returned to the elevator...

Then she will report to the underworld immediately!

Chapter 5 Indescribable

As this terrifying premonition emerged in her heart, Shen Qinyin no longer hesitated. She quickly turned her upper body and slapped the elevator button hard.

But at this moment, the elevator's floor display screen suddenly flashed without any warning!

The elevator seemed to be disturbed by something and was not responding!

Seeing this scene, Shen Qiyin couldn't help but curse in her heart: Damn it! Do I have to encounter such a ridiculous plot?!

She kept pressing the buttons, praying that the elevator door would open quickly.

"Zizzizi!"

At the same time, the flashlight in his hand began to flash more frequently than before, like a death warrant. The rapidly flashing light shone on the slowly opening door, making the oppressive feeling of this dark space even more terrifying!

The hand that Shen Qiyin used to hit the elevator button was almost red and swollen, but the elevator still did not respond. The numbers on the screen flickered as if they were interfered with by something.

The door is already half open.

Wherever the flashlight reached, the twisted black shadow spread out from the crack of the open door like a vine, and the walls, ceiling and floor within a three-meter radius seemed to be swallowed by it, shrouded in darkness filled with the breath of death.

Moreover, the black shadow was extending towards Shen Qinyin's location at a speed visible to the naked eye. It would probably reach the elevator entrance in less than half a minute!

Unspeakable and obscure whispers began to echo in Shen Qinyin's mind.

As the gap in the metal door grew larger, the whispers gradually became clearer, carrying an indescribable malice, like whispers from the abyss, constantly provoking her emotions and tempting her to explore the secrets behind the door.

She felt that in the darkness, countless invisible eyes were staring at her through the thick walls. An invisible force was slowly eroding her mind, making her breathing heavier and heavier.

"Ding!"

At this moment, the bell of the elevator arriving at the first floor suddenly rang, and with it came the faint light that came out after the elevator door slowly opened.

Seeing this, Shen Qinyin immediately operated the electric wheelchair and entered the elevator car!

The approaching darkness gradually eroded the light emitted by the flashlight, and the biting cold gradually spread from Shen Qinyin's fingertips to her whole body.

The chill that seeped into her bones went all the way up her spine and traveled freely throughout her body, making her movements extremely difficult.

Even though I had already entered the elevator, the chill became stronger.

Especially the thick black haze in front, which had completely engulfed the entire basement.

Shen Qinyin pressed the elevator door close button, eager to close the door.

"Zizzizi."

But at this moment, the lights in the elevator car began to flicker wildly under the influence of that indescribable force!

The flickering lights were like quick and brief signals, warning of the approach of a terrifying existence.

Even with the flashlight held tightly in my hand, the light it emitted was unable to dispel the thick darkness, and I couldn't see what was lurking in the darkness at all!

But even so, Shen Qiyin could still feel that the metal door at the end of the basement was almost completely open!

She gritted her teeth and stared at the thick darkness in front of her.

No, it’s too late, we must think of another way!

The Holy Lance of Exorcism definitely can't deal with what's in there. Is there anything else that can be used?

At this moment, Shen Qiyin's brain was spinning like an overclocked CPU. Her eyes fell on the frequently flashing flashlight, and an idea suddenly flashed through her mind -

Sunlight!

Sunlight seems to have an inhibitory effect on fog and monsters at night. If you can upgrade the flashlight to emit light similar to solar radiation, you may be able to escape from your current predicament!

Shen Qinyin grabbed the flashlight and tried hard to concentrate on thinking about the idea of ​​upgrading in her mind.

In just a moment, a line of words appeared on the notebook in her mind:

[Do you want to spend 5 Desire Stones to upgrade the "Flashlight" to "Holy Wood"?]

【Yes! 】

Shen Qiyin didn't have time to care whether this thing could be used or not. She chose yes in her heart without hesitation. The next second, the flashlight that was flashing frequently and about to go out suddenly turned into a cross-shaped wooden stick that was half the length of her arm!

The wooden stick is brown all over and has a very rough surface, giving it the feeling of a dead branch that can be picked up from the roadside.

But the moment those dark tentacles touched the elevator entrance, the originally dark wooden stick suddenly burst into a dazzling white light!

Immediately afterwards, the twisted and deep dark tentacles, which clearly had no substance, made a "slippery" sound like a sticky liquid, and gradually retreated under the drive of the white light.

Seeing this scene, Shen Qinyin breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously. The white light emitted by the holy wood was obviously not sunlight, but it did have the effect of dispelling that thing.

However, before she had time to catch her breath, Shen Qiyin keenly discovered that the darkness was receding very slowly!

She frowned, her eyes fixed on the sacred wood in her hand.

Although the light of the holy tree is very dazzling, it is very mysterious and will not hurt the eyes, so Shen Qinyin can clearly see the condition of the holy tree.

It was precisely because of this characteristic that she was shocked to discover that the holy wood that emitted holy light was gradually dimming from the very top, like a firework stick that was slowly burning out!

In other words, this thing might really burn out like a firework stick!

Shen Qiyin predicted the speed at which the darkness would fade away and the burning speed of the holy tree, and it was obvious that the holy tree could not completely dispel the darkness before burning out.

She thought she could finally breathe a sigh of relief, but her heart suddenly rose to her throat again!

This is not a solution. Judging from the burning speed, Shengmu can only buy himself about half a minute. He must leave the basement within this half minute!

Shen Qiyin only took a look at the elevator which had not yet returned to normal and immediately gave up the idea.
