Chapter 94 The Knocker

Bai Ming knows nothing about [Mute] and Li Xiangshen’s plan.

 At this moment, he was sitting peacefully in the house, enjoying the special food brought from the relevant departments.

  These compressed foods, carefully made by players with [Cooking] skills, look like ordinary dehydrated ingredients, but they perfectly retain the original and delicious taste when they are freshly cooked. They are one of the materials specially prepared by the relevant departments for this mission.

 If it weren’t for the fact that high-end delicacies that can temporarily increase attributes would take up the "quota" of the dungeon, Wang Zhongshan would even want to fill his backpack.

 After a delicious meal, Bai Ming felt much better.

  "Okay, now that you've eaten and drank enough, it's time to keep a vigil."

 Having [Blood and Tenacity], he only needs to maintain a low consumption state, such as closing his eyes to rest, and he can slowly recover from mental losses.

 Although the effect is far less than that of deep sleep, it is not a big problem to sustain it for three days and three nights.

 Before taking a break, he carefully searched the home he borrowed from the villagers.

 This is an ordinary ancient rural house with broken earthen walls and thatched roof. There is only a simple wooden bed, a dilapidated box and a few crooked tables and chairs in the house.

 Apart from the well that he had temporarily filled up, no other obvious danger points were found.

  There are no useful clues to harvest, boom, boom, boom one by one!

 At this moment, there was a clear knock on the door of the courtyard.

Bai Ming's heart immediately sounded alarm bells.

  Is it still over?

  He took out a spare alloy steel rod from his [backpack] without hesitation and held it in his hand.

 Previous experiences told him that even if he himself did not break the rules, there would be people, or ghosts, who would do everything possible to "help" him break them.

 Ghosts may die, but they are not really dead and will be resurrected sooner or later.

  He who can be affected is likely to pay a heavy price.

 Bai Ming kept in mind Rule 3 [Don’t go out after dark, close your ears when there is a knock on the door, and don’t open the door to anyone, no matter who they claim to be], and did not approach the door, but quietly waited in the courtyard, alert.

   "Is there anyone? I'm [Sugar]!" A familiar voice came from outside the door, full of urgency and exhaustion, "It's too dangerous outside. I finally got rid of the pursuers. Open the door quickly and let me go in and hide!"

  Familiar voice, familiar ID.

  But do you think I am a fool?

  Bai Ming sneered in his heart, how could he be so easily fooled?

 Furthermore, if you were really Su Yeye, you would be so polite and reasonable, I am afraid that you would come down from the sky with purple thunder and destroy everything.

 However, ghosts are by no means stupid. They will not do so many meaningless things. They must have other methods.

 Aware of this, Bai Ming immediately concentrated his energy, stabilized his mind, and guarded against any possible hallucinations, charms and other mental attacks.

This is a level 10 dungeon. With only level 6 and the blessing of [Rebel], he doesn’t dare to be careless at all.

 However, nothing happened.

  There is no mental shock, no strange illusions, and no charm control.

  There was only the continuous, unhurried knocking on the door.

 The knocking on the door is gradually getting louder, but that’s all.

   "[Wutian]! I know you're inside! Open the door quickly! Something is chasing me! I heard its voice!"

   The voice of [Sugar Frost] outside the door became more and more anxious, even crying. Something is wrong, something is very wrong!

Bai Ming immediately conducted a self-examination, silently recited "The Road to Shu is Difficult" to stabilize his mind, carefully sensed whether there was any abnormality in his body, and checked whether there was anything extra on the surface of his body.

 The results are all normal.

 But this is precisely the biggest abnormality!

  After seeing his strength, how could Village Chief Li and his group only send a ghost that he could easily avoid using the rules?

 Him himself, he would never be so stupid.

  Bai Ming's heart suddenly lurched, and he immediately turned his attention to the well filled with rubble in the center of the yard.

 I saw that the rhythmic knocking on the door turned into invisible sound wave oscillations and was accurately transmitted to the wellhead.

The stones covering the wellhead trembled slightly under this silent resonance and quietly shifted. The whole process did not emit a trace of danger, and did not even make a sound, so that Bai Ming was not able to notice it immediately.

 In this moment, a few strands of wet, long black hair had quietly emerged from the cracks in the stone, spreading rapidly towards the door as if they were alive.

 That’s it!

 It is actually a plan that combines the inside and the outside!

 The knocker outside the door is responsible for attracting attention and transmitting its power inside to help the water ghost in the door get out of trouble. The goal is to open the door.

 As if knowing that the purpose had been discovered, the knocking on the door suddenly became rapid and violent!

 Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom one by one!

The sound was no longer just a knock, but also formed some kind of terrible resonance, penetrating directly through the door panel and hitting Bai Ming's heart hard, making him feel palpitations and chest tightness, and his movements could not help but stagnate.

 Taking this opportunity, those strands of black hair accelerated suddenly as if they had received a powerful boost, and were about to touch the door.

 Bai Ming endured the discomfort in his heart and a sharp look flashed in his eyes.

  He slammed his foot to the ground and lunged forward forcefully. At the same time, the alloy steel rod in his hand carried great force, not hitting the black hair, but hitting the door that was constantly resonating.

  There was a loud bang, the door panel shook violently, and the strange resonance of knocking was forcibly interrupted by this rough blow.

Immediately afterwards, he turned around and summoned [Long Stick Type 1], and with the help of the damage and hit increase brought by [Blood: Instant Warfare], he swiped the stick towards the black hair that had spread to the door.

  The extremely strong force instantly crushed and forced those hair strands back.

  However, the crisis is far from over.

 Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom one by one!

 The knock on the door sounded again. This time, the sound became extremely rapid and violent, as if it contained endless anger.

  Every blow hit Bai Ming's heart like a heavy hammer, causing his blood to surge and the pain to be unbearable as if his heart was about to be shattered.

At the same time, the gravel in the filled well began to tremble violently, and more wet black hair was like a group of restless snakes, frantically crawling out of the cracks in the stone, ready to move, ready to pounce on the door again at any time!

 It is absolutely not possible to continue like this!

 A trace of cruelty flashed in Bai Ming's eyes, and he suddenly raised the [Long Stick Type 1].

 Dong, dong, dong, dong, dong one by one!

  The sound of heavy knocking sounded again, but it did not come from outside the door, but Bai Ming used a long stick to hit the well in the center of the yard. Since it could not effectively block the sonic attack of the knocker, he used a louder noise to cover it.

 Fight fire with fire!

 This may be the right way to deal with it!

The knocker outside the door seemed to be aware of Bai Ming's intention. The speed and frequency of the knocks suddenly increased again, like a strong wind and rain, trying to crush Bai Ming completely with more powerful sound pressure.

  Bai Ming also showed no sign of weakness. He stretched out the muscles of his arms and swung the long stick as fast as a pile driver. The sound of the knocks on the wellhead also became as dense as thunder, fighting against the ghostly sound outside the door.

 An hour later.

  The knocker's speed has obviously slowed down, but Bai Ming's knocking is still steady and powerful.

  The knocker seemed to be irritated and accelerated again without giving up. Two hours later.

 The knocking ghost has already felt that it is powerless. As a ghost, it is the first to feel the weakness of "out of strength", but the damn human inside the door is still persisting as if it is tireless!

 This is simply outrageous!

 But due to the drive, it can only continue to knock in vain.

With this knock, it hit midnight and early morning, Zhengzi hour, the time when yin and yang alternate.

  "I'm tired - stop knocking - I'll open it for you"

  Bai Ming's voice, filled with extreme fatigue and compromise, finally came from inside the door.

  The knocker was delighted, but the movements of his hands did not stop at all, and instead he knocked harder.

  No matter whether he can open the door or not, even if he can't, it will still shock this hateful human being to death inside!

 However, just when the next blow fell, its hand suddenly became empty.

 The originally solid door opened a gap inward without any warning.

     ——!

 The door opened.
