Su Wu sat down against the wall and rested for a while.
Heavy fatigue was constantly rising in his body. Even if the firelight in the temple illuminated it, it was only slightly relieved.
And there seemed to be layers of wrinkles on the lower side of the body where it was connected to the ghost hand.
Frowning, Su Wu struggled to open the zipper and saw that under the right armpit, the piece of skin connected to the ghost hand was loose and loose, like the skin of an old man.
There are even abnormal dark spots appearing on the skin.
What's going on here?
——Will ghost hands cause my body function to decline and my vitality to be lost?!
Su Wu suddenly thought of a possibility. He looked at An Qing's dark arm and felt that every part of this arm was full of evil - using the Gangdong could have such serious consequences!
You must not use Gangdong rashly in reality!
Next time you simulate, you must try to escape from danger using only the Imperial Bell!
Time passes slowly, and the crimson light outside the temple lights up and goes out, goes out and lights up again. This repeats several times. The length of time each time the crimson light lights up is uncertain, and the length of darkness and silence before the crimson light lights up is also uncertain.
The shortest one only lasts a few breaths, and the longest one lasts nearly ten minutes.
Taking advantage of this time, Su Wu propped up his body and first read through the contents of the notepad.
‘April 10th.
I had a feeling that something bad might happen, so I left the company directly and used this time to make some preparations.’
‘April 11th.
I took a nap today and slept until two o'clock in the afternoon.
Don’t rush the preparations, let’s talk about it tomorrow.’
‘April 12th.
Fish all night and sleep during the day.’
‘April 13th.
I slept in until noon, and after eating, I bought a map of Mingzhou City and a map of Huayang County.
The landlord had a quarrel with the couple upstairs and said that others were doing something in the house that caused mold spots on the walls. Is this a problem with his house?
I see mold is starting to grow in my house too.’
…
Su Wu closed the notepad.
Even if I already own the simulator now, my future self will never mention this in my notes.
The simulator is the present variable, and the future is the present result.
The results can reflect the role of variables to a certain extent. For example, the future self begins to consciously purchase maps, notices changes in the room in advance, and prepares for a bad premonition.
But the result has been determined and variables can no longer be used.
Apart from sleeping in, there is still a lot of useful information in the notepad.
The first is that mold has grown upstairs on the 13th. The landlord quarreled with the couple upstairs because of this, which shows that the area of mold upstairs must be very large.
Immediately following on the 14th, three murders occurred nearby.
My future self specifically inquired about the crime scene. Although the information was blocked to prevent people from panicking, I still got clues - several murders occurred in Unit 3.
The tenants of Unit 3 have since moved.
On the 15th, the couple upstairs died mysteriously and in a miserable manner.
At this time, my future self also got a message from the tenant group, so I started to close the windows and cut off any light sources.
Putting the notebook back in his pocket, Su Wu recalled in his mind the contents of the notepad he saw when he entered the simulation game for the first time.
When I first entered the game, the recorded murder occurred on the 16th, and the young couple upstairs died suddenly and tragically on the 18th.
It can be seen that the shadow ghost appeared early this time.
Perhaps it was because my 'butterfly' flapped its wings that it appeared in advance.
Or maybe there is no fixed time for the appearance of the shadow trick itself, and it may appear at any time within a period of time.
It is necessary to check the notepad in time in subsequent simulations to determine whether the time when the shadow ghost appears is not fixed, or whether it is because of something you did that caused it to appear early?
Su Wu kept this in mind and opened the social software on her phone.
First, click into the tenant group and search for news.
There was silence among the tenants at the moment, no one was chatting inside.
He swiped his finger downwards, skipped a few lines of group reminders, and saw a message in the group from a person whose profile picture was dark and whose name was also a space: "Attention residents of each unit building in Ping An Garden: Be sure to close the doors in the next few days.
Doors and windows cover all light sources in the room.
Stay quietly at home and wait for help, we are already taking action.
Currently, there is an unknown substance transmitted by light that has filled the Ping An Garden. If you open a window to take in the light rashly and use various light sources, you will definitely be killed directly by the unknown substance!
Please be sure to cut off any light source, life is priceless!"
This passage has been authenticated by social software and marked with a blue frame, with several mosaic photos of corpses directly underneath.
Even after making a mosaic, you can still see the tragedy of the scene and the horror of the dead body.
It was precisely because he saw this news in the group that he sealed the windows in the future and shut down all kinds of equipment to prevent anything that produced light from being retained.
Su Wu clicked on the personal page of the person with a dark portrait.
There is only a string of numbers ‘20280733’ in the introduction.
“Is this person a staff member of Mingzhou City fighting against strange forces?
Shadow Creatures kill people everywhere through shadows, but directly explaining to ordinary people that this is an "unknown substance that spreads through light" can eliminate people's panic.
At the same time, it is okay to make people fear the ‘light’ to the greatest extent possible.”
Su Wu didn't get any clues from the staff member's profile, so she exited the tenant group and found that there were still people chatting in several other groups.
What caught his attention the most was undoubtedly the work group of his former company.
I left the work group directly. When did I join again?
Confusion flashed in his heart, and he clicked into the work group.
Immediately I saw Huang Zhicheng, the former supervisor of Suit Elite, who was sending messages one after another in the group: "Is there anyone there?"
"All dead?"
"Why don't you come to work today?"
“@王志友, why didn’t you come to work?”
“@小心AX, why didn’t you come to work?”
“@王志友, why didn’t you come to work?”
…
‘Huang Zhicheng’ was a member of the Aite group, but no one came out to respond to him.
Doesn’t this grandson know what the city is like now? The colleagues who were targeted by him might have turned into headless corpses long ago.
Seeing 'Huang Zhicheng' mechanically clicking on each group member, Su Wu frowned. Just as he was about to exit the group chat again, suddenly, the former supervisor Aite came to him: "@公子吃饼, why didn't you come to work?"
'nmb, Sima Dongxi, is your brain sick?'
Su Wu played a quality triple combo, hesitated for a moment, and didn't click send.
He suddenly felt that what was happening in this work group was very strange.
However, this time, 'Huang Zhicheng' seemed to be at odds with Su Wu. Seeing that he did not respond, he did not skip directly like other group members, but continued to follow Su Wu.
"@Master eats cake, what about you?"
“@公子吃饼, why don’t you come to work?”
"@Master, why don't you say anything when you eat the cake?"
"say!"
"say!"
"Do you think I can't find you if you don't speak?"
The last paragraph turned directly into a bright red and twisted line of bloody words, which suddenly filled the entire screen of Su Wu's mobile phone!
This chapter has been completed!
