Folk Card Maker: Starting from Painted Skin.

Chapter 195 Dead

When the power went out and the whole room became dark, Zhang Jingtian and Huai Yalin felt a sense of relief.

If nothing unexpected happens again, the two of them will be really worried.

Now there was a sudden power outage, and Zhang Jingtian immediately felt that, as expected, what was supposed to happen had finally happened.

He put his hands in his pockets and showed a faint smile on his face. He didn't feel that this dark environment was scary at all.

"They should be out by now, right?"

Zhang Jingtian took out a card very confidently.

In this dark environment, the Queen of Jingjue is obviously more useful. These zombies are creatures that hide during the day and come out at night.

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

Huai Yalin glanced at Zhang Jingtian and a terrible thought popped up in her mind.

Huai Yalin did the same thing and started using her own card, but still nothing happened.

The expressions of the two people finally changed from calmness at the beginning to nervousness.

They've lost the ability to use cards? What's the difference between them and ordinary people?

In this secret place, isn't it just a matter of waiting to die?

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

If it is really that terrifying, wouldn't it be better to just pull those high-level card makers in?
So Zhang Jingtian felt that this secret realm must have its own special way of passing through.

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

"Don't panic, maybe you just can't use the Heroic Spirit Card."

As Zhang Jingtian spoke, he took out an equipment card, which was the sword he had given to Zakiram every time before.

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

A relaxed expression suddenly appeared on his face.

"See, I was right. It's just that I can't summon heroic spirits anymore."

Zhang Jingtian still has that special armor, maybe he will be safer in this secret realm!

Huai Yalin, who was standing by, also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Zhang Jingtian's words.

"Yes, but this secret realm is so special that we absolutely cannot take it lightly."

Having said that, Zhang Jingtian suddenly made a gesture of silence.

Huai Yalin immediately shut her mouth. In the entire room, the only sounds that could be heard were their breathing and heartbeats.

Then, there was a burst of hurried footsteps.

Someone was walking towards them.

Zhang Jingtian listened attentively and could hear that the man was already standing at his door.

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

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

But what was strange was that the man paused at the door of their room for a moment and then walked away.

Zhang Jingtian squinted his eyes and confirmed that the man had gone far away before he said to Huai Yalin:
"He seems to have gone far away. What do you think is going on?"

Huai Yalin shook her head: "I don't know, I'm completely confused about the entire secret realm right now, and I have no idea what's going on.

This makes me very uneasy, and I feel like 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 so sleepy?" Huai Yalin murmured, and just as she finished her words, she was unexpectedly hit by a strong sense of sleepiness.

Then Huai Yalin yawned and fell asleep as well.

When they woke up again, it was already the next day.

The sunlight shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto them.

Zhang Jingtian's eyes were full of doubts.

"Did I fall asleep suddenly last night? It's strange. I wasn't sleepy at first, and then all of a sudden, I found that I couldn't open my eyelids."

Huai Yalin nodded beside her: "I think so too. I suspect this is also the 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 had walked into a dead end and had no idea how to get out.

When they walked out of the room and passed the hotel front desk, intending to go to the restaurant to eat something to fill their stomachs, they didn't expect that the receptionist was there wiping tears.

Zhang Jingtian raised his eyebrows and suddenly realized that something might be wrong.

So he walked up quickly and asked softly:

"What's wrong? Are you crying?"

The waiter sobbed hard and then said:

"Well, I, I didn't expect this to happen."

"What's the matter?" Huai Yalin next to her also showed a worried expression.

"Someone died. Last night, a resident committed suicide!"

The two people who heard the news did not say anything because they felt that this might not be suicide.

Zhang Jingtian thought about it and took the initiative to say, "Can you take us to have a look?"

After hearing Zhang Jingtian's words, the receptionist hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

Under his guidance, they went to another room.

There, they saw a room covered in blood. The carpet was a creepy dark red. Just looking at it made people feel extremely uncomfortable.

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

"When did you find out he was dead?"

He trembled as he spoke at the front desk: "This morning, when the auntie went in to clean, she saw that he had cut his wrists and there was blood all over the floor."

Zhang Jingtian narrowed his eyes and continued to ask, "How can you be sure that he committed suicide? Is it possible that he was actually murdered?"

The receptionist shook her head: "Impossible, there's no sign of anyone breaking into this room, and we have surveillance cameras!"

Zhang Jingtian immediately asked to take a look at the surveillance footage.

After all, someone died in the hotel, so it was normal for him as a resident to be worried.

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

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 heard it wrong?

However, if it was the work of the Scourge, it would be normal even if they were not caught by surveillance.

Thinking of this, the two became even more confused. If the Scourge really wanted to take action, shouldn't they come directly to them?
The others are just NPCs at most, is there any need to kill them?

Zhang Jingtian is still confused about everything in the secret realm.
