The next day, the enemy commander was killed, and the Imperial army recovered his body.

Reading the first sentence on the next page, Lin Chi couldn't help but speak: "Is it so casual?" ”

Judging from the log account, it seems that the Imperial camp where the corpse collector is located has a crushing advantage over the "dynasty" as an enemy force, otherwise this war would not have been won so easily.

The war recorded by the corpse collector was simply a completely unequal duel, and the "dynasty" that was besieging the city was the weaker side.

However, it doesn't seem to make much sense in a suspense game to care about such an inconsequential setting......

Realizing this, Lin Chi also ignored the war record in the journal for the time being, and began to read the rest of the content.

But when he turned the next page, he found that the description in the journal suddenly changed to a different style:

"Meet the Lady of the Dead, who will turn the Dead into a loyal puppet."

"Take out the heart of the corpse, soak it in holy water, and inject your blood into the chest cavity of the deceased."

"You must grant darkness to the dead before the transformation is complete, or they will awaken prematurely."

"Don't let the deceased die a second time, or it will turn into an evil spirit."

……

Reading this, a strong sense of foreboding slowly rose in Lin Chi's heart:

These words have not only changed the narrative style, but even the font has changed, and the graceful font of the corpse collector is gone, replaced by rough text, as if it was written by a "macho man".

It seems that this is supposed to be the method of resurrection of the dead taught by the Imperial soldiers to the corpse collectors, and the content is also related to resurrecting the dead.

The so-called "darkness must be given to the deceased" refers to the black cloth bag on the head of the corpse, and most of the corpses here are covered with bags, which should be precisely to prevent early awakening.

However, this record of "never let the deceased die a second time" is what worries Lin Chi the most.

"Do you mean ......?"

Click!

Hearing the crisp sound at the door, Lin Chi suddenly turned his eyes to the wooden door of the restaurant, only to see a charred and thin human hand suddenly grabbing the wooden wall next to the door, and then from the study just now, it was a female voice with bitter resentment and hatred:

"You...... Kill me? ”

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." Lin Chi replied casually.

Margaret, who had just been killed by herself for the second time, turned into an evil spirit to take revenge!

The burning, charred black figure paced out from behind the door, and even though her body was reduced to dry bones in the flames, Margaret's revenge did not stop.

Given a second death, she was completely unstoppable. But Lin Chi knew very well that this was the plot need in the game, because if he hadn't killed her just now, he wouldn't have been able to leave that bedroom.

In other words, the next thing to do is to escape from Margaret's clutches......

Thinking of this, Lin Chi grabbed the notes of the corpse collector and the diary that he saw halfway, and didn't even have time to take the candlestick, so he turned around and ran away decisively, rushed to the iron door on the other side of the canteen, and kicked open the unlocked door.

Clang!

With the loud sound of the main door of the restaurant being kicked open, he stumbled into a dark passage, and a gust of wind blew in front of him, Lin Chi didn't have time to turn around and close the door, and rushed to the front of the corridor as fast as he could. The walls around him are covered with landscape paintings in dark tones, which look particularly eerie in the moonlight.

"You...... You can't escape. ”

Margaret's hoarse voice struck from behind Lin Chi along with the heat, and the burning charred corpse continued to hunt down Lin Chi. With the running speed of Lin Chi's character, he naturally can't compete with the other party......

"Looks like it's going to reopen again."

Realizing that he was about to be caught by Margaret, Lin Chi also decisively gave up struggling, after all, this game is different from War Paradise, even if it is hung up, it is just starting from scratch, and there is no need to worry about anything else.

“……”

The "girl" in the white dress turned around and looked at the burning female corpse, and when Lin Chi was waiting for death, the scene in front of him suddenly darkened.

Syllable!

There was a crisp sound, the corridor was filled with smoke, and the sudden white smoke choked Lin Chi coughing, and before he could figure out what was going on, a dark and tall figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Come with me!"

A calm male voice sounded in his ears, and Lin Chi's wrist was grabbed by the other party, and he was dragged backwards by the guy. The strange thing is that Margaret, who was still menacing just now, did not continue to chase after her.

What the hell is going on?

Lin Chi, who was running wildly in the dimly lit passage, looked at the man who was dragging him, and with the help of the dim moonlight cast into the corridor from the window, he saw the long brown windbreaker on the other party's body and the pointed top hat on his head.

The outfit of the other party looks like a guest attending a banquet and does not look like a combatant at all, but in the world of the game Devil's Chamber, it may indeed be used for combat?

Lin Chi was secretly thinking when he heard the other party's voice come again:

"Are you alright?"

The man didn't look back, pulled Lin Chi and continued to rush forward, directly slammed open a wooden door in front of him, entered a small storage room, turned around and closed the door, sprinkled some white powder in front of the door, and then finally let out a sigh:

"Alright."

The oil lamp above his head cast a soft light, and Lin Chi looked at the man who had just turned around, only to see that the other party's face was also covered with a black mask, revealing only a pair of dark green eyes.

"What are you doing?" Lin Chi asked curiously.

"It's exorcism powder." The man raised the cloth bag in his hand, shook it in front of Lin Chi, and patiently explained: "With this thing, the monster will not be able to continue to pursue us." ”

Hearing this somewhat familiar name, Lin Chi looked at the inconspicuous bag in the other party's hand, and then looked down at a thin line drawn with white powder in front of the door.

Obviously, the "exorcism powder" in this person's mouth should be similar to the table salt that can be used to exorcise demons in European legends, and is used to block the attack of evil spirits. The reason why Margaret was repelled just now should also be the credit of exorcism fans.

"Thank you." Lin Chi thanked the other party in a female voice, and then asked curiously, "Who are you?" ”

The tall man in a trench coat had a classical-looking old-fashioned long-barreled pistol pinned to his waist and a short scimitar. Although the clothes are a little inappropriate, it looks like this posture is indeed here for battle.

The other party didn't answer this question, just stretched out his thick hands and suddenly grabbed Lin Chi's shoulders:

"I'm supposed to ask you this question, right? What does a girl do in a place like this? Are you really not afraid of death? ”

"I don't know what's going on, but I was here when I woke up." Lin Chi told the truth, and looked at the man without blinking, revealing a "pure" appearance.

"Wake up......"

The man in the trench coat pondered for a moment, and suddenly took out a silver cross from his chest pocket, put it in front of Lin Chi's eyes and shook it, and the light refracted by the cross shook Lin Chi's eyes.

"What are you doing?" Lin Chi asked angrily.

"It's not a vampire, it's okay...... it's okay," the man seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, put away the cross and smiled, and said, "I'm a hunter fan. Lawrence, just call me Lawrence. ”

"What hunter?" Lin Chi narrowed his eyes: "It shouldn't be here to hunt, right?" ”

"A vampire hunter to be exact, hunting other things part-time." Lawrence nodded, blinking his green eyes, "I received a request from the sheriff that strange things often happen near this large morgue, and they suspect that monsters are at work, so they came to investigate." ”

In other words, this place is really "haunted", right?

While Lin Chi was secretly thinking in his heart, he was not idle, and continued to try to extract the information he needed from the mouth of this vampire hunter:

"Well, that means I'm not a vampire or a monster, am I?"

"That's right, if it's a high-level blood clan, it may have resistance to exorcism powder, but in the face of the blessed cross, it will still show its original form." Lawrence laughed, "Don't worry, girl, you're a real person, and nothing else. ”

"That's ......"

Hearing the other party's words, Lin Chi pretended to be happy.

If Lawrence is right, then the possibility that the protagonist is a resurrected corpse that he thought at the beginning could be completely ruled out.

It's true that his character is a living person, so ...... Why did she wake up in such a place?

Thinking of this, Lin Chi suddenly asked, "What does this corpse collector in the morgue look like, do you have any information there?" ”

"I came in a hurry, and I didn't get any information about the corpse collector." Lawrence shook his head: "It seems that the corpse collector here hasn't left the morgue for a long time, and even the sheriff doesn't have a portrait. ”

As soon as these words came out, Lin Chi once again gave birth to a new guess in his heart:

Could it be that this role of his is the corpse collector of this morgue?

According to the setting of this game, the possibility that the protagonist is the corpse collector does not seem to be low. If that's the case, the rest of the plot may go in a different direction, for example......

"I'm going to kill the corpse collector." Lawrence clenched his fists as he spoke.

"Why?" Lin Chi asked.

"Look at the situation here, don't you understand?" Lawrence let out a long sigh, and deep wrinkles appeared in the corners of his eyes: "There have been forbidden rituals in this morgue, these corpses should have been resurrected, and the only one who can do this kind of thing is the corpse collector who takes care of the morgue all year round!" ”

Hearing the other party's angry remarks, Lin Chi thought for a while and asked in a low voice, "That...... Aren't you worried that I'm the corpse collector? ”

"You?"

Lawrence cast a questioning gaze on Lin Chi's face, and then couldn't help laughing: "Don't be kidding...... I didn't get the details of the corpse collector, but according to the sheriff, that guy should be a strong man, so he wouldn't be like you. ”

Although Lawrence seemed to be completely unconcerned, Lin Chi still had a hint of doubt in his heart that when he entered the game, he did choose a "female character", but because he could not confirm the gender in the game, there were still doubts about whether this character was male or female.

Although the probability is very low, the possibility of the corpse collector evolving from a muscular hunk to a women's clothing boss in the life of "dependence" with the corpse for many years actually exists......

Boom! Boom!

A heavy knock echoed through the pantry, and the heat of Margaret's flames entered the room through the thin panels, and a ghostly red glow lit up beneath the cracks.

The evil spirit, whose body was charred, was trying to break into the door, but the white "exorcism powder" sprinkled in front of the door successfully stopped her steps. Margaret couldn't come in at all, and could only let out a hoarse howl outside the door.

"Is that okay?" Lin Chi looked at the white line drawn in front of the door: "Do you need to sprinkle more?" ”

"There's no need, this evil spirit can't break through the exorcism powder, she should leave by herself in a while, it's really not good, I still have silver bullets here." Lawrence patted the pistol hanging from his waist as he spoke, and the carved pattern of a lion on the wooden handle was clearly visible.

"Ahhhh

Margaret howled incessantly, slamming the door of the storage room with all her might. Lawrence stood in front of the door, pointed the muzzle of his pistol at the door panel, and was ready to open fire at any moment.

"Evil spirit, don't waste any more time!" The vampire hunter shouted.

"Shut up, idiot...... I'm not looking for you! Margaret scolded.

As soon as these words came out, Lawrence was silent for a moment, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Can I you!" ”

……

Under the gaze of the speechless Lin Chi, the evil spirit in front of the door and the hunter standing behind the door actually began to curse each other......

There was a lot of scolding in this large morgue for a while, and the original weird atmosphere was also suppressed by the atmosphere of abnormal pain. Taking advantage of the opportunity when Lawrence was gasping for breath after scolding a lot of swearing, Lin Chi asked, "Won't this anger the other party?" ”

"What if you're enraged? She couldn't get in anyway. Lawrence kept panting, and the previous image of a reliable and powerful "vampire hunter" completely collapsed in Lin Chi's heart.

"This shrew reminds me of my wife, who is the same at home...... "Lawrence said loudly, "You have the ability to come in!" You shit! ”

Why is it always this kind of plot? Are the makers of this game all strict wives......

Lin Chi secretly complained in his heart, put the two books in his hand on the floor next to him, and sat on the cold floor of the storage room, waiting for the next plot twist.

It stands to reason that what happens here should also be a fixed plot of the Devil's Secret Room, and as long as you wait a little longer, a new plot should happen.

As expected, not long after Lin Chi sat down, Lawrence looked at the two books beside her and asked breathlessly:

"I just wanted to ask, what is the thing you are holding in your hand?"
