The red lanterns in the sky disappeared, and the red light covering the streets faded.
Neon lights up the dark night again.
Su Wu, who stood at the fork in the road and kept shaking the imperial bell, fearing that the Shadow Sneak would take advantage of this moment to sneak up on him, seized this opportunity and ran out of the intersection towards the cake shop on the right side of the street!
"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"
His lungs were filled with air, and heavy breathing came from his throat.
Not daring to waste a single second, Su Wu sprinted at a speed of 100 meters to the side of the cake shop - a small temple with an orange light emitting from the outside.
All the furnishings in the small temple remain as they were before.
The various materials Su Wu prepared for himself are now intact in the temple.
The future and reality coincide.
The neon lights outside the temple disappeared, leaving only the orange light that propped up a three- to five-foot-long area of light in the dark neighborhood.
——This is the transitional time when the eye trick is about to appear.
Taking advantage of this time, Su Wu opened a box of candles, took the keys to the Chevrolet Cruze, and checked the time on his hand.
Twenty-two twenty-six.
Jiang Yingying will appear at that intersection around 22:55.
He needs to get to the intersection before this time and wait for the other party to appear!
Every extra second he spends now may lead to him passing Jiang Yingying!
But during the period when the city was surrounded by evil eyes, he had to hold back and stay in the temple honestly.
Five minutes later, the red lantern in the sky finally disappeared.
Standing at the entrance of the temple, Su Wu raised his head and glanced at the sky, and suddenly discovered that there were nearly twice as many red lanterns in the sky.
During the period of alternating neon and crimson light, countless people's heads turned into lanterns in the sky.
He felt awe-inspiring in his heart and warned himself that he must pay more attention.
Then, holding the candle that continued the fire in the temple, he quickly walked out of the small temple and ran to the restaurant on the right.
In front of the restaurant, a black Cruze was parked.
However, what was different from Su Wu's previous simulations was that this time there was a headless corpse lying on the left side of the car.
Judging from the clothes he was wearing, he should be the previous owner of this car.
In the previous simulation, the car owner died in the driver's seat.
Who caused such a subtle change in the future?
Su Wu had no time to think about this problem, so she quickly walked to the Cruze car, opened the door with her own key, and got into the driver's seat.
Immediately, three hands came out and squatted down several rows of candles on the console!
Orange firelight reflected in the car window.
Su Wu started the car and rushed directly into the street!
Buzz——
The engine roared and the car sped at lightning speed, swerving between vehicles parked haphazardly on the street.
The veteran driver's talent has been upgraded to green, and Su Wu can handle even particularly complex road conditions with ease.
He controls the speed of the car.
We arrived at the intersection at 12:53.
I happened to see Jiang Yingying slowly walking from the other end of the road holding an 'emergency can'.
She lowered her head, her shoulders trembled from time to time, and she looked confused.
Su Wu drove the car directly beside her, and the light from the car lights caught Jiang Yingying's attention.
Su Wu, who was sitting in the driver's seat, called her: "Get in the car quickly!"
The talent of 'The Art of Speaking (Green)' came into play. When Jiang Yingying heard his words, she was just stunned for a moment. Under his gaze, she opened the rear door and got into the car.
Just like in the simulation, it wasn't until Su Wu started the car that she suddenly became nervous: "You, where are you taking me?"
"Didn't you see those red lanterns in the sky?
It's no longer safe here.
I'll take you to a safe place." Su Wu felt a strange feeling in her heart when she saw Jiang Yingying in reality.
Obviously he had many conversations with Jiang Yingying in the simulation, but none of them touched his heart like this.
Here is reality.
Not a simulation.
A living person is sitting behind the car. If she dies here, she is really dead and no longer exists.
Because of this touch, he rarely spoke more.
"How did you escape?
There is no red lantern in the sky to pick off the head?" Su Wu took the initiative to ask Jiang Yingying who fell into silence behind him.
His words inevitably reminded Jiang Yingying of the previous events.
Two lines of tears fell from his red eyes.
Through the central rearview mirror, Su Wu saw Jiang Yingying silently wiping away her tears. He sighed and said nothing.
"Master, how do you know that lanterns in the sky can pick off people's heads?"
Jiang Yingying calmed down a little and took the initiative to ask Su Wu.
The light in the car was dim and she couldn't see Su Wu's face clearly, so she used the universal title of "Master".
"I've seen it." Su Wu turned the steering wheel and returned to the original road.
This time, he will take Jiang Yingying back to the small temple first, where he will prepare everything before starting again and clearing the final level of 'The Secret of Corpse Disguise'!
"On the other hand, you are wandering outside alone, and your head has not been taken off by those lanterns for so long. I wonder if you are lucky, or if you have something that can resist the lanterns?" Su Wu asked knowingly.
…
It's almost midnight, and the neon lights are still on the streets outside the temple.
The colorful lights bloomed lively, but there was no living person anywhere on the street, so even this lively neon light became lonely.
The cold wind howled and blew past several garbage bags on the road outside the temple.
Jiang Yingying sat on a plastic pony at the entrance of the temple, wearing a thin coat, looking at the scene outside the temple, feeling at a loss in her heart.
"Let's have hot pot."
She heard the man's greeting behind her and turned around to see Su Wu moving a folding table. The self-heating hot pot that had been watered on the table began to steam.
The man handed her a pair of chopsticks.
Jiang Yingying reached out to catch it. When she saw the other party opening the lid, she pushed the hot pot towards her: "Eat quickly. How many people want to take a hot bite now, but they still can't."
"Thank you." She nodded slightly.
She doesn't know why, but just listening to the man opposite her talk, she will unconsciously want to obey him, as if everything he says is right and should be trusted.
However, this was only the first time she and Su Wu met.
How come you have such a strong sense of trust in the other person?
Jiang Yingying picked up a small piece of ham sausage with chopsticks and put it into her mouth. From the corner of her eye, she saw the 'emergency can' sleeping in a cardboard box specially prepared for it, and she immediately felt more at ease.
At this time, she heard Su Wu on the opposite side say: "After dinner later, we will stay in the temple for a while. The food here will be enough for us to eat for a long time.
I will use this time to make some preparations first.
When we are ready, we will leave this city."
He talked about these plans naturally and included Jiang Yingying in the plan.
Listening to his words, a warm current suddenly arose in Jiang Yingying's heart. She lowered her head and softly said 'hmm'.
