Folk Card Maker: Starting from Painted Skin

When the power went out and the entire room was plunged into darkness, Zhang Jingtian and Huai Yalin felt a sense of relief.

If no more unexpected events occurred, they would have been truly worried.

Now, with the sudden power outage, Zhang Jingtian immediately felt that what was meant to come had finally arrived.

He put his hands in his pockets, a faint smile on his face, not at all afraid of the darkness.

“They should be moving out, right?”

Zhang Jingtian confidently pulled out a card.

In such a dark environment, the Queen Jingjue was obviously more useful. After all, zombies were creatures that were active at night and dormant during the day.

But strangely, after Zhang Jingtian summoned the card as usual, nothing happened.

They had actually lost the ability to use cards? Then what was the difference between them and ordinary people?

In this secret realm, wouldn't it be better to just wait for death?

Zhang Jingtian frowned, feeling that this secret realm couldn't be so unsolvable.

If it was really that terrifying, wouldn't it be better to just pull in those high-level card makers?

Therefore, Zhang Jingtian felt that this secret realm must have its own special way to pass through it.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jingtian's heart suddenly calmed down.

“Don't panic, maybe we just can't use heroic spirit cards.”

As he spoke, Zhang Jingtian took out an equipment card, the sword that he had always used for Zakiram.

And now, Zhang Jingtian discovered that he could also use this sword.

A relaxed expression immediately appeared on his face.

“See? I told you, we just can't summon heroic spirits anymore.”

Zhang Jingtian still had that special armor, which might be even safer in this secret realm!

Huai Yalin, hearing Zhang Jingtian's words, also breathed a sigh of relief.

“Yes, but this secret realm is really too special, we absolutely cannot let our guard down.”

Speaking of this, Zhang Jingtian suddenly made a gesture for silence.

Huai Yalin immediately closed her mouth, and the only sounds in the room were their breathing and heartbeats.

Then, a series of rapid footsteps began to sound.

Someone was walking towards them.

Zhang Jingtian listened attentively, he could hear that the person had already stopped at his door.

Huai Yalin also took out a piece of equipment at this time, which looked like an umbrella.

However, Zhang Jingtian could tell that this was an orange card, so it was definitely more than just rain protection.

But strangely, after the person paused at their door for a moment, they actually walked away.

Zhang Jingtian narrowed his eyes, and after confirming that the person had walked far away, he said to Huai Yalin:

“He seems to have walked away. What do you think is going on?”

Huai Yalin shook her head: “I don't know, I'm completely confused about this whole secret realm, I have no idea what's going on.

This makes me very uneasy, I have a feeling that the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light.”

Zhang Jingtian did not respond to Huai Yalin. When Huai Yalin was wondering, she found that Zhang Jingtian had fallen asleep on the sofa at some point.

“Is he that sleepy?”

Huai Yalin muttered to herself, and then, as soon as she finished speaking, she felt a strong wave of sleepiness coming over her.

Then Huai Yalin yawned and also fell asleep.

By the time the two of them woke up again, it was already the next day.

The sunlight shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating their bodies.

Zhang Jingtian's eyes were full of doubt.

“Last night, did I suddenly fall asleep? It's strange, I wasn't sleepy at all, and then suddenly, I found that I couldn't keep my eyes open.”

Huai Yalin nodded: “Me too, I suspect this is also a setting of the secret realm, this secret realm is too strange.”

Zhang Jingtian shook his head, he was also very confused now, this secret realm had completely exceeded his imagination.

He felt that he and Huai Yalin were like walking into a dead end, and they had no idea how to get out of it.

When they walked out of the room and passed by the hotel front desk, intending to go to the restaurant to grab something to eat and fill their stomachs, they didn't expect the front desk to be wiping away tears.

Zhang Jingtian raised his eyebrows, suddenly realizing that things might not be right.

So he quickly walked up and asked softly:

“What's wrong, are you crying?”

The receptionist sobbed hard, then said:

“Yes, I, I didn't expect something like this to happen.”

“What happened?” Huai Yalin next to him also showed a worried expression.

“Someone died. Last night, a resident committed suicide!”

The two of them did not speak after hearing this news, because they felt that this was probably not suicide.

Zhang Jingtian thought for a while and took the initiative to say: “Can you take us to see it?”

Hearing Zhang Jingtian's words, the front desk hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

Under his lead, they went to another room.

There, they saw a room full of blood, the carpet was covered in a frightening dark red color, and just looking at it made people feel a strong sense of discomfort.

Zhang Jingtian walked into the room, and did not feel any strange aura, nor did he see any signs of fighting.

“When did you find out he was dead?”

The front desk trembled and said: “This morning, when the aunt went in to clean, she saw that he had already cut his wrists, and blood was flowing all over the floor.”

Zhang Jingtian narrowed his eyes and continued to ask: “How are you sure he committed suicide? Is it possible that he was actually killed?”

The front desk shook his head: “Impossible, there are no signs of anyone breaking into this room, and we have surveillance!”

Zhang Jingtian immediately asked to see the surveillance.

After all, it was normal for a resident to be worried about someone dying in the hotel.

The front desk could not refuse Zhang Jingtian's reasonable request and could only take him to see the surveillance.

Then Zhang Jingtian discovered that no one had broken into the deceased's room last night, and no one had passed by their door.

Could it be that he and Huai Yalin had misheard?

But if it was the work of the Scourge, it would be normal for them not to be captured by surveillance.

Thinking of this, the two of them were even more confused. If the Scourge really wanted to take action, shouldn't they directly target them?

The others are just NPCs at most, is there any need to kill them?

Zhang Jingtian was still completely clueless about everything in the secret realm.
