I made myself the protagonist

"The zombies are in the basement on the first floor. The elevator is no longer available, so we can only go down by the stairs."

As Chen You spoke, he pushed open the door of the escape tunnel. Suddenly, a gloomy wind blew in his face, and the wind seemed to be mixed with faint sounds of crying, which made people feel heartbroken.

He whispered to Li Xinjian and Zhao Sicheng to retreat, and saw Chen You throw out a charm from his sleeve. Fire suddenly appeared in mid-air. After the charm burned out, he made a hand gesture and shouted in a low voice: "Open!"

As the smoke and ashes dispersed, everyone suddenly felt that the cold atmosphere around them had become much lighter, and the previous crying and the feeling of being spied on no longer existed.

Su Li did not go downstairs immediately, but knocked on the wall several times as if to check something.

Seeing her doing this, Li Xinjian stopped and Pan Rong couldn't help but look sideways.

"What's wrong?" Because the team paused, Chen You turned back and looked at everyone.

"It's okay. I want to make sure that the surrounding environment will not change again. We had two companions before who got separated under such circumstances and were killed later."

Su Li said: "I'm very afraid that something evil will attack us again. This staircase is no better than the corridor. Once attacked, there will be no other way out." Su Li continued to knock on the wall as he spoke.

"Don't worry, those two paper figures won't appear again."

Chen You said without looking back that he had just used magic to disperse the Yin Qi and ghosts nearby. As long as he followed him, he would no longer be disturbed by ghosts.

The floor they are currently on is the 24th floor. To reach the basement, it will take about ten minutes to walk downstairs.

"Time is running out, everyone, move faster." Under Chen You's urging, everyone started running again.

"By the way, Uncle Friend, I have a question. You just said that one person needs to join the battle to fight against the zombies. I wonder who you will choose then?" Ling Yun suddenly spoke while going down the stairs.

"Fighting zombies requires more than just courage and skill."

Chen You said: "The most important thing is that you need to have the spirit of sacrifice and dedication. After this person enters the formation, others only need to stay by my side and protect me."

Probably out of concern for their own safety, everyone fell silent immediately after hearing what Chen You said. Even Ling Yun didn't say anything anymore.

Everyone changed their previous attitude of actively asking for help and seemed to be waiting for others to come forward to help.

"Xiao Hao is the best candidate." When they were about to reach the bottom floor, Su Li was the first to break the silence and said.

"Fortunately, you and him are here at the critical moment, otherwise we wouldn't be able to deal with the zombies with the strength of the few of us." Su Li continued.

"Daozhang Chen..." Su Li paused for four or five seconds before breaking the silence.

"There's something I don't know whether to ask or not."

Chen You's attention seemed to be completely focused on the rescue operation. He was questioned several times by Su Li, and he became somewhat impatient.

He gave a perfunctory hum, and the moment he led everyone into the courtyard, Su Li behind him spoke again.

"How do you know that my two companions were killed by paper figures?"

"Let's discuss such small matters later. There is no time. Qian Xiaohao and the others are still waiting for our support..." Chen You anxiously pointed in the direction of the basement and said to everyone.

"You don't have to pretend anymore. If we go through, we will only be dead." Ling Yun broke the silence.

Chen You turned around and discovered that Ling Yun and others were standing ten meters behind him, looking at him warily.

"From the beginning to the end, my companions and I never mentioned any details about the paper man." Su Li said coldly.

"Really?" Chen You's tone suddenly turned cold.

"It seems that this uncle friend does have a problem. He is right to choose to believe you." Li Xinjian said and looked at Su Li.

Pan Rong on the side also nodded silently.

When he went downstairs earlier, Su Li knocked on the wall several times seemingly unintentionally, but actually had a deeper meaning. This was the secret code that Ling Yun and others had specially discussed before entering the mission.

Therefore, after hearing Su Li repeat this code several times, Li Xinjian and Pan Rong immediately realized something was wrong.

Everyone knew that Su Li had important information to convey, so no one spoke rashly when they went downstairs.

After Ling Yun finished asking questions, everything Su Li said was actually a reminder for everyone.

As long as the first word at the beginning of each sentence is connected, the key information can be extracted from it.

[Xiao Xing Chen You] (Be careful Chen You)

"Although you designed to kill Ji Xinke and Jingran, Xiaobai's appearance ruined your plan. You found that getting rid of us was not as easy as you thought, so you decided to do it yourself." Ling Yun said.

"Why should I harm you? Everyone's purpose is the same, to stop zombies from wreaking havoc and killing innocent people indiscriminately, right?" Chen You said.

"Indeed. If we didn't show up, this scene would have been played like this."

Hearing what Ling Yun said, the smile on Chen You's face gradually faded.

"Actually, from beginning to end, there are no female ghosts or zombies at all. Even Aunt Mei, Ajiu, Uncle Yan, Yang Feng and her son, including Chen You, are all puppets controlled by you. And they exist.

The meaning of it is to cooperate with you to stage a great drama of exterminating demons and defending the Tao, satisfying your long-awaited dream of being the protagonist. Right, Qian Xiaohao?"

"You guys have suspected me for a long time, but you didn't expose it right away. You just wanted to use my hand to break through ghosts and build walls, right? Yes, you are indeed very smart."

After Chen You said these words, his head drooped. Immediately afterwards, the black shadow behind him on the wall gradually changed, and a person slowly walked out of the black shadow.

Qian Xiaohao was wearing the same costume he wore in "Mr. Zombie", standing with his hands behind his hands and looking at everyone with a cold and sinister look.

Previously, after receiving Su Li's prompt, Ling Yun carefully inspected the ceiling of his home and finally thought of the true origin of those fragments - the wallpaper in Qian Xiaohao's room.

Su Li often acted alone for no reason. In fact, most of the time, she was investigating the decoration of the residents' rooms on the floor, and finally determined that the wallpaper on the ceiling of Lingyun House was unique to Room 2442.

The male ghost who disturbed him was the original owner of room 2442, and was also the culprit who killed the twin sisters. But what was unexplainable was that the twin sisters were so resentful, how could they be in the same room with the murderer who murdered them during their lifetime?

Having noticed this, Su Li had a vague feeling from the second day of the mission that everyone's every move was actually under the supervision of some kind of force.

Although she had deduced that Qian Xiaohao was the biggest suspect through her ability, Su Li could not clearly convey this information to others.

Su Li had already seen through that the building they were in, all the people and ghosts around them, and even this world were all created by Qian Xiaohao.

The real enemy of the players is not Ah Jiu and Aunt Mei, nor the zombies and the sisters. Instead, it is Qian Xiaohao, who has been regarded by everyone as the incarnation of justice and the ultimate savior from the beginning to the end.

Su Li speculated that Qian Xiaohao did not intend to kill at first, but just controlled ordinary earth-bound spirits to intimidate them, trying to get rid of their troubles. As time went by, he found that his group was determined to stop Ah Jiu's corpse refining.

After planning, I finally decided to get rid of them.

Qian Xiaohao has long been possessed by the devil. Even if his body dies, the obsession that penetrates into his soul drives him to live to the end as a hero who upholds justice and subjugates demons.
