Chapter 17 Clues in the Attic

From the decorating style, it was clearly different from the couple's bedroom. The decor and furnishings were more like a child's bedroom.

Did this couple have a child? As it turned out, my guess was right. The books on the desk showed that it was indeed used by a child, and it looked like the child was in elementary school.

Strangely, there were no photos in this bedroom, so I couldn't tell what the child looked like.

But when I lifted the blanket on the bed, I suddenly discovered something extremely important – a handheld DV camcorder!

I searched high and low, only to find it unexpectedly here! If I wasn’t wrong, Tape No. 0 should be in this handheld DV…

When I excitedly turned on the handheld DV, that darned brat taught me a lesson because there was nothing inside.

Not giving up, I quietly went up to the attic on the third floor. I politely knocked on the door, but there was no response.

Secretly relieved, I opened the attic door, but unexpectedly, a half-corpse seemingly practicing Toad Stance suddenly jumped out, hugged my thigh, and bit me hard.

Just as I was about to counterattack, I suddenly felt a paralyzing sensation spread from my leg to my whole body. I instantly couldn't move. I never expected that old trickster to have poison in his mouth. I was curious about what that half-corpse man had eaten, but I couldn't think anymore…

Because the mad female ghost with the slashed face flashed a bright knife, and unable to move, I was beheaded and kicked around like a ball.

I died, a very tragic death. Simulation ended.

The Evil God Right Hand collected Shen Wei's lifespan, feeling smug, but Shen Wei couldn't be happy at all.

"It seems that some secrets are hidden in the attic. Maybe Tape No. 0 is hidden there."

Shen Wei wore a thoughtful expression, then made a difficult decision.

"Righty, quickly simulate again. It's related to our escape. You don't want to be trapped here forever, do you?!"

Faced with Shen Wei's threat, the Evil God Right Hand said nonchalantly,

"You only have half a year of lifespan left for me. It's not enough for one simulation. I won't do something that's not profitable! Want to take advantage of me? No way!…"

The Evil God Right Hand swayed back and forth, like it had cramps.

"Can you give me a discount, bro!…"

Shen Wei said shamelessly.

"How about I give you a bone-shattering discount?"

The Evil God Right Hand's tone was full of threat.

"What are you saying? What are you saying? If that won't work, just simulate half a year for me…"

Shen Wei retreated to second best.

"That's something to consider. Okay, I promise you, but don't regret it!…"

"I guarantee I won't regret it, hurry up!"

Shen Wei urged repeatedly.

"Look at the red eye pattern in my palm, simulation start."

My name is Shen Wei. When you hear my name, I might already be dead because I was selected to enter a rule anomaly. There are terrifying inner worlds here, as well as many houses full of demons and ghosts.

But under the leadership of my clever right hand, I narrowly escaped death and found clues about the path to survival.

That attic above the third floor, hiding ghosts, likely contains an important prop to escape this rule anomaly.

So, I decided to take a risk. Having the experience of being killed last time, I first opened the yin-yang umbrella, then carefully opened the door.

The half-corpse practicing Toad Stance was still in the same posture, opening its bloody mouth and pouncing at me.

But I was prepared, stretched out my clever right hand, grabbed his hair, and threw him down the stairs. The terrifying female ghost with the slashed face followed the script, wanting to chop off my head, but this time she didn't succeed, and instead chopped at my yin-yang umbrella.

I withstood the powerful impact, then closed the umbrella and slammed it into her abdomen, also knocking her down from the attic.

And I took the opportunity to enter the attic and lock the door from the inside. There was a strong impact from outside, but soon the impact strangely disappeared, which made me feel an ominous premonition in my heart, but at this time, I couldn't worry about so much. I hurriedly searched the attic for clues!

The attic was full of unused junk, and the old carpet was covered in dust. I searched for a long time, but couldn't even find a hair of a videotape.

I couldn't help but sigh that my IQ was too low, and I even deduced the wrong path to survival, wasting a simulation opportunity in vain.

Just then, my clever right hand suddenly discovered some clues. It saw that the dusty carpet underfoot seemed to have been moved, so I lifted the carpet…

Before he could finish speaking, the Evil God Right Hand's simulation voice suddenly stopped, and Shen Wei, who was in the simulation illusion, also instantly woke up.

"Righty, what are you doing? Aiyo! Why did you stop halfway through the simulation?"

Faced with Shen Wei's complaint, the Evil God Right Hand said disdainfully, "We agreed to simulate only half a year of lifespan. Considering our deep brotherly friendship, I simulated an extra half a year for you! You can't let me do something that's not profitable, can you?"

Shen Wei was speechless. "Okay, okay, take it!"

Having obtained the lifespan, the Evil God Right Hand's attitude immediately made a 180-degree turn.

"What are you saying? Am I the kind of hand that covets lifespan? What I value is brotherly friendship. If my brother is in trouble, I must help. Simulation start!"

I lifted the carpet, and there was no videotape underneath, but a strange circular formation was drawn on the floor with blood.

There were many strange and twisted symbols around the periphery of this formation, and in the middle was a pattern similar to a gate of hell.

The gate of hell was drawn vividly, as if something terrible inside was pushing, trying to escape the restraints.

Although it felt very strange, I still took a picture with my phone. Just then, I suddenly felt a knock on the door outside, and I quietly approached. Suddenly, the attic door exploded, and the huge corpse from the swimming pool rushed in and hugged me! I couldn't move, nor could I use any props.

Then, the male and female owners who had become terrifying ghosts, as well as the terrifying corpse with strange flowers growing in its neck cavity, and other kinds of ghosts all rushed into the narrow attic space. Being controlled, I desperately fought back with the Evil God Right Hand, but in the end, I still exhausted my lifespan and was eaten into the bellies of these terrifying guys, becoming the monsters' Oreo.

I died, a very tragic death.

Simulation ended, collecting lifespan.

Thinking about the clues obtained in the attic, Shen Wei secretly made a decision.

"Righty, we have to go to the attic."

"Are you crazy? Why go to the attic? To die?"

The Evil God Right Hand asked with an incredulous look.

"I think that magic circle has something to it. It might be related to the path to survival; otherwise, those two guys wouldn't care so much and keep guarding it. Maybe they can summon something terrible from it. We have to destroy it to prevent trouble before it happens…"
