Hell's Handbook

Chapter 335

Su Jin fiddled with the incense stick. He had found out what this was from Xu Ges memories. You had to kill someone, and the item would transform that persons spirit into a shield against attacks from supernatural creatures. This was a powerful item to have, but it also endangered the lives of those around the person who had it.

So, this was what you were relying on all this time, right? You were prepared to kill us if a spirit attacked us so that you would live on, right? said Su Jin frostily.

Xu Ges forehead was covered in cold sweat. That was exactly what he had intended to do. The only living beings in this entire house were the owners, so if he wanted to stay alive, he would have to kill them.

Zhang Yang was also covered in cold sweat. He didnt know about this thing earlier, unlike Su Jin. But he could imagine what would have happened if Xu Ge needed to kill him to activate this item. He would be dead meat. No matter how weak a veteran was, their superpowers were enough to kill an owner who didnt have Spirit Power.

Su Jin threw the incense stick back to Xu Ge, which made both Zhang Yang and Ning Ran exclaim in shock. This was as good as releasing a tiger back into the wild!

Xu Ge himself was surprised that Su Jin would return the item to him. But Su Jin said, You can keep this for the tbeing. If were attacked by spirits and one of us dies, I will allow you to use this item. But if I find out that youve tried to kill one of us, I will make sure that the incense stick is activated with only your spirit.

Xu Ge shuddered. He had to take Su Jins warning to heart, since he could see the murderous look in Su Jins eyes. This was a man who could kill and would kill when necessary. Xu Ge felt that compared to himself, Su Jin was probably a hundred times more aggressive.

Su Jin sighed as he glanced at Ning Ran. Why didnt you call for help?

Ning Ran bowed her head and murmured, He said if I made any noise, he wouldnt protect us anymore and hed let us all die.

Su Jin sighed again. She was so much like Ning Meng. They were both kind but a little weak at the stime. If you run into danger again, just yell for help, you hear me?

Ning Ran nodded, and Su Jin turned to leave the kitchen. After the four of them returned to the living room, they saw Qian Yingying saying something into Yu Wenkuos ear.Thɪs chapter is updated by ɴo(v)elFɪre.ɴet

What are you saying to him?

Qian Yingying shrugged and said, I thought Id try whispering to him to see if hed have any reaction, but hes still like that. Its like hes in a permanent daze or something.

Hes probably traumatized, said Su Jin with a sigh. They all got swater from the kitchen to drink. There was still no food in sight, so they could only drink water to settle their rumbling stomachs.

Xu Ge didnt dare to say anything after Su Jin had beat him into submission, so he sat quietly in the living room and behaved himself. But when it hit noon time, a commotion cfrom the third story and it shocked everyone.

Nobody moved, but the commotion from the third floor did not stop. After stime, the commotion finally stopped, but before they could breathe a sigh of relief, noise started coming from the second story and they could hear the sound of doors being opened and shut.

At this rate, its going to cto the first story, isnt it? asked Ning Ran as she trembled.

Su Jin glanced at Zhang Yang, and Zhang Yang nodded. I can feel it. That thing is coming toward us!

Immediately after he said that, the dazed Yu Wenkuo suddenly leaped up. The veins on his face were bulging as he grabbed hold of Ning Rans neck as though he had gone mad.

Su Jin reacted very quickly. He grabbed hold of Yu Wenkuos hand and flicked a finger at his tendon, hoping that it would force Yu Wenkuo to let go. But Yu Wenkuos arm seemed to be made from steel, and inflicting damage on his tendon did not make any difference.

He had no choice but to use his psychokinesis to calm Yu Wenkuo down. But when his psychokinesis entered Yu Wenkuos body, he couldnt find Yu Wenkuos consciousness at all. The man was like an empty shell.

By this time, Ning Rans eyes were rolling backward from being strangled. If he couldnt save her now, he would have to offer her incense at her gravestone instead.

There was a fierce glint in his eye as he used his palm as a knife and brought it down hard on Yu Wenkuos arm, severing it immediately. But Yu Wenkuos expression didnt even flinch as he pounced toward Ning Ran again.

Hurry up and help! Su Jin roared at Xu Ge. Xu Ge did not want to, but he had no choice but to do his best to hold Yu Wenkuo back.

Ning Ran wasnt out of the woods yet. Yu Wenkuos hand had been severed from its arm, but the hand was still able to exert force, and Ning Ran was still on the brink of asphyxiation. Su Jin had to peel his fingers off one by one to save Ning Ran.

Immediately after Ning Ran was saved, Yu Wenkuo collapsed onto the floor. His body was convulsing slightly but still breathing. Su Jin helped Ning Ran to her feet and asked, Miss Ning, are you alright?

Ning Ran panted heavily, and her face was still pale, but she nodded and said, Thank you for saving me, Mr. Su. I Im fine now.

Heehee! Haha! Just then, a burst of sinister laughter could be heard coming from the second floor. The sound went up the stairs to the third story, then disappeared.

Everyone exchanged glances. The spirit that possessed Yu Wenkuo was on the third story, and it was just trolling them.

There are spirits on the third story, they can move wherever they like, whenever they like what are we going to do? Xu Ge had gone into a panic. He wasnt a good leader in the first place, and now that Su Jin had taken over, his true personality was coming out.

Su Jin also felt that they were in a pretty bad situation. At the moment, the spirits seemed to be just playing with them, but that was exactly why he was so perplexed. If they were already having trouble holding up when the spirits were only having fun, then once the spirits decided they really wanted to kill them, they were doomed for sure.

Lets keep looking. There must be something in this house that can keep us safe for the tbeing. The Handbook will not drive us into a dead end, said Su Jin through gritted teeth. This was one thing he understood well after going through so many Challenges. The Handbook would never design a Challenge that the owners involved could not get through, and the key to passing the Challenge was usually not far from where the owners were.

Su Jin kept tapping his nose as he recalled what he saw when he checked out the place, hoping to find something useful. But try as he might, he couldnt seem to think of anything.

Why dont we go upstairs to the second floor? said Zhang Yang all of a sudden.

Su Jin paused to think, then said, Are you saying the Challenge is to survive this place for three days, and were in a house with three stories so, the Handbook wants us to ascend one story a day?
