Chapter 22 Edward Murray

time left:

【3 hours 50 minutes】

Several large red lanterns in the bungalow area were re-hung.

In the dark night and the rainstorm, the light from this red lantern can only spread to a range of more than ten meters around the bungalow.

Han Dong is observing and waiting on the second floor of the bungalow.

Waiting for Edward Murray to be killed by the evil spirit...then will enter the final step of the plan.

However, the plan did not go smoothly according to his ideas.

in torrential rain.

A young man smeared with oil (harmony) limped to the front of the bungalow.

This man is Edward Murray.

Moreover, the 'steam prosthesis' he spent a lot of money to build and install seems to have been damaged, and it is not as flexible as before.

Arkham is an evil spirit, and the characters in the incident are evil spirits... No! Why are there two evil spirits? There is clearly no such information in the intelligence.

A major mistake puts Edward in a desperate situation.

Edward mistakenly thought that [Chen Li, the evil person] was the evil spirit possessed in this incident, so he never suspected other members of the team.

Of course, the mistake is also related to Han Dong to a certain extent.

Just when the team members split up, Han Dong ordered Chen Li to follow Edward in red clothes and holding a kitchen knife.

This made Edward convinced of the view that 'Chen Li is an evil spirit'.

Therefore, he completely let down his guard when he met Akman in the follow-up.

Not dying is an incredible thing.

You must know that a trainee like the bald Deion who swings a sledgehammer in the factory is completely vigilant, and when he encounters an evil spirit, he disappears immediately, and he can't even make a sound.

And Edward Murray used some method to get out of the mortal situation.

Even escaped all the way to the bungalow area.

Stare at the bungalow with its lanterns re-hanging.

Coupled with the system prompt he received - 'The number of survivors in the squad is [3]', including the evil spirit Akaman... It also means that only Edward and another person are still alive.

Edward is a man with a very careful mind, his brain is racing, and he recalls some details of his experiences these days.

At this time, someone's words were recalled in Edward's mind.

My name is Valen Nicholas... I'm not in good health, so I stay at home and do nothing. However, when I'm bored, I have a certain understanding of linguistics and should be able to act as a translator.

Captain... I'm not feeling well.

Captain, I need to rest.

Let's group it like this...I'm on the same team with Miss Arkman.

This frail young man who would stop to breathe after walking a short mountain road - Warren Nicholas, appeared in Edward's mind.

Positioning for 'Nicholas'.

Edward regarded him as the least worry translation tool from the beginning, and it was impossible for Nicholas to survive.

Leaving Nicholas for last, as a prop to buy time, was Edward's plan.

However, Edward was completely wrong... a person's body is thin, but it does not mean that he has lost his chance of life.

Monica is dead and Arkham is the lurking evil spirit.

Facing the bungalow with the big red lantern hanging high.

Edward's 'sunny' and 'friendly' sides were gone, his fierceness was revealed, and he grinned and said:

Brother Nicholas, you are really unkind!

Considering your frailty, I let you rest in your room every day. I led the team to complete all the basic preparations... In the end, you actually plotted against me.

With a body like yours, you still want to be a 'returner'?

Sooner or later you're going to die... why don't you be a stepping stone for me.

However, in the face of Edward's roar and ridicule,

Han Dong did not appear.

Correspondingly, there was only one woman in red with a baby toy in one hand and a kitchen knife in her right hand, walking slowly through the corridor on the second floor and returned to her 'Room 6'.

Such a strange scene made Edward sweat profusely.

Up to now, he has not been able to determine whether 'Chen Li' is a human or a ghost.

at the same time.

Between the muddy mountain roads, a crawling 'evil spirit' was also slowly approaching the bungalow.

It's just that something is wrong with the evil spirit, and its action is slower than before.

The face was injured, and it seemed that it had been cut by some kind of sharp tool and burned with high temperature, so that the corners of the mouth were completely cracked and pitch black, which was extremely frightening.

A thin tongue came out of the burnt mouth, and a less standard British pronunciation could be vaguely heard:

This person... really has some skills! It hurts, just like my father used a soldering iron to treat me. However, this feeling is really nostalgic.

…………

Not necessarily mortal.

Edward Murray learned from the elders who passed through the space of destiny that no matter how dangerous the various events corresponding to the space of destiny, there is still a 'way of life' to be found.

One way of life is limitation.

The other way to survive is the weakness of the dangerous creature itself. Once it can reveal or gain insight into the weakness of 'it', it can push the opponent back to a certain extent and strive for an opportunity to escape.

Most of the evil spirits are afraid of fire, which is also the information that Edward bought... But there are also a few special cases that not only are not afraid of fire, but are able to absorb fire.

If he encounters the latter, Edward must be cold.

Normally, though, luck isn't too bad.

In addition to the general steam drive, Edward's steam prosthesis can greatly increase the strength and punching speed.

It is also equipped with an internal combustion device and small nozzles.

Spitfire.

That's right...that's one of Edward's hole cards.

Once the time problem cannot be controlled, the hole card that needs to be used when the evil spirit finds him.

However, due to the high price of the built-in 'flame thrower', Edward was only able to implant a normal type with a smaller capacity inside, and he had completely exhausted the fuel when he confronted the evil spirit.

Even the internal combustion pipe was damaged, and even if there was time to refuel him, he could not continue to breathe fire.

Edward, standing in front of the bungalow, kept as calm as possible... to think, to think of ways to break the game.

There is only one way I can survive... Find out this kid Nicholas and kill him directly!

At present, it can be 100% determined that Arkman is an evil spirit, but it is still not fully confirmed whether [Chen Li, the Evil One] is an evil spirit.

In a novice event, even if it is four-star, it is absolutely impossible for two evil spirits to appear! The latter has a high probability of being instructed by Han Dong to pretend to be an evil spirit to mislead me.

It must be so!

It's all Nicholas' conspiracy!

Where is this filthy, cunning mouse...hiding?

Edward is really talented and qualified to survive... Being able to calmly analyze at this juncture is considered 'excellent', and he is well prepared.

Too bad he has made a big mistake.

…………

Just when Edward started to search the bungalow, Han Dong on the second floor was sitting on the bed, his fingers crossed in a triangle, thinking about the problem.

Edward was able to survive a head-to-head encounter with an evil spirit... Sure enough, he doesn't necessarily die when he encounters a 'evil spirit'.

There was no other way, since Edward was not dead, he had to temporarily change the plan.
