Chapter 43: 12:00
According to Xiong Wenwen's description, his death was extremely sudden and unstructured, and it is not yet certain whether it was related to the interior of the mall.
The time was too short, Shen Lin needed to use the elimination method.
There were tears falling from the corners of Xiong Wenwen's eyes. Seeing Shen Lin's calm eyes, he reluctantly nodded, and the predicted world once again unfolded in front of him.
They stopped, and some of them were silent. Shen Lin didn't know what he was talking about, Xiong Wenwen's body was shaking all the time, Zhou Bin, Xu Fang, both looked panicked.
"Dang~dang~"
When I heard it, it was that voice again, different voices, from small to loud, until it was as big as a bell.
In the future scene, Xiong Wenwen went from trembling to trembling, and finally stopped everything and lay back in a daze.
Bleeding from the seven orifices.
Xiong Wenwen was still thinking about what he was looking at, but he felt that the sound was getting louder and louder. He couldn't tell where it came from. It seemed to come from the void, filling his brain, and he had to forcefully quit.
After taking a few deep breaths, Xiong Wenwen couldn't stop trembling. His heart was filled with fear, and he was even speechless for a while.
"Death, death, I will die."
Flustered and helpless, Xiong Wenwen was like a small animal on the verge of death at this moment. He was trying his best to scream in agony before his death.
Are you affected? Shen Lin's eyes narrowed.
Xiong Wenwen's situation is very similar to that of Xu Fang before, and he seems to be affected by something.
Strangely, the ghost can actually influence Xiong Wenwen in the foreseeable future. The power of the foreseeable ghost is of no use to him.
From fantasy to reality, this is simply incredible.
"Do it again, I need you to seize the key information!" Shen Lin said.
The information is so lacking that they are not even qualified to be a blind man and touch an elephant.
Xiong Wenwen was still trembling, and while sobbing, he seemed to feel Shen Lin's calm eyes, which gave him great encouragement, and he nodded slowly.
"Pay attention to everything, don't be disturbed by fear, look around. I need to know what we did, where the pattern was triggered, and when exactly." Shen Lin described word for word. He needed to engrave these on Xiong Wenwen. in mind.
"Give me your watch." He said to Xu Fang.
For this incident, Shen Lin was fully prepared. In order to accurately define many things, he put a compass, a watch and other small objects in Xu Fang's backpack for emergencies.
Now, he needs to let Xiong Wenwen record all this, and the time must be accurate, even if it is accurate to the second.
A strange cool breeze blew around, a bit cold.
On the front side of the world, a bright moon actually rose at this moment.
The moonlight shines through everything, shining on them. Mixed with the silver-white brilliance is the loneliness that belongs only to the night.
That ray of moonlight seemed to separate the entire world, and the reflected expressions on the faces of several people were very strange.
Xiong Wenwen held the watch in his hand and began to predict again.
In this strange world, he was like a third party who accidentally entered and quietly glanced at the time on his watch.
Twelve past three.
"Dang, Dang~"
The voice appeared again, like a mosquito or a fly, and the next second it was like a bell, and the strange tone kept echoing in Xiong Wenwende's mind.
Look around, look around! Holding back everything, Xiong Wenwen glanced around in a panic.
Wait, something's wrong.
He looked aside in panic, only to find Shen Lin lying on the ground, bleeding from all his orifices, and the corners of his mouth were drawn up, revealing a strange smile.
Shen Lin is dead! He died without any warning. Xiong Wenwen glanced at the time in shock.
Ten past twelve!
Buzz~
As if the world was frozen, Xiong Wenwen noticed a dark shadow appearing next to him, which made his pupils dilate unconsciously.
You can't turn your head, you can't look, you will die, you will definitely die!
Xiong Wenwen panicked. He had never faced a fierce ghost before, and Shen Lin, who was predicted to be able to crush him with one move, would die without warning in the future.
No, no, this is prediction, this is an exploration of the future.
Fake, everything is fake.
Xiong Wenwen said this to himself.
He turned around boldly.
What he saw was indeed shriveled skin under a black robe, mixed with a fishy smell, like a corpse that had been exposed to the sun for several days in the open air, making his whole body look a little deformed. Xiong Wenwen couldn't describe the feeling.
He boldly continued to patrol, but found that something was wrong with the figure in front of him. He was looking at his future self.
Facing those eyes covered with whites, Xiong Wenwen wanted to see something, but suddenly her heart skipped a beat.
No, that's not right, he is looking at himself, he is looking at himself now.
This ghost is looking through the future to see himself in the prediction.
With his pupils dilated and his head roaring, Xiong Wenwen almost hurriedly cut off his prediction. The ghost didn't move, and luckily it didn't.
Returning to reality, he was confused. In his delirium, he even forgot about fear and crying.
Staring and sitting blankly, it seemed that Shen Lin was saying something in his ears, but he couldn't hear anything.
The eyes of that withered figure flashed back over and over in his mind like a nightmare.
"Tell me what happened!"
Finally, Xiong Wenwen heard these words in the chaos, and his brain, which was about to collapse, spoke vaguely almost reflexively.
"Dead, all dead, twelve ten, will die, you will die, so will I, we are all dead."
Twelve o'clock? Shen Lin's pupils shrank. He remembered the male corpse with bleeding from all the orifices in the bus stop when he first explored it. The broken watch on his hand showed exactly twelve o'clock.
What does this mean? Does this point in time have any special significance?
Everything you do at this point in time triggers the pattern? Including breathing?
If this is the case, then this ghost is invincible in all aspects.
No, it's impossible, there's something missing.
Shen Lin's brain was thinking rapidly.
Assuming that the time of Xiong Wenwen's death in the mall is 12:10, and the time of their death outside the mall is also 12:10, this at least shows that the mall itself is not a big threat.
Their biggest threat was the black-robed ghost, which was enough to make the Upside Down ghost unable to suppress itself, and forcefully shattered the ghost realm of the weird projector inch by inch.
Unable to resist, impossible to confront.
They need to find a pattern, this is the only way they can survive.
I glanced at the time, it was 12:50, they still had five minutes.
"What, what should I do? I, I don't want to die!" Xiong Wenwen finally returned to normal, and he wailed.
"We need to do something, find out the pattern. If one of us will die at 12:10, then finding out the pattern of that ghost is the only way. The terror level of that ghost is too high, and we can't face it head-on. Resist hard.”
Shen Lin realized that the ghost staircase had created a big trouble for him. It was more like a carefully prepared evil ghost that could not be solved, just to wait for his arrival.
He took out one-sixth of the remaining ghost candle from his pocket and handed it to Xiong Wenwen.
Guizhu has been tested by many incidents and its quality is trustworthy. This is the last insurance. If there is no other way, they can only choose to use Guizhu to resist.
Scanning the surroundings, no abnormalities were found, Shen Lin said in a deep voice.
"Let's go inside."
After all, the ghost staircase is the source of ghosts. If you can't enter this mall, the result of death will not change, so it doesn't make much difference whether you enter or not.
Shen Lin frowned, thinking about something.
Can all this be stopped if the Ghost Staircase is imprisoned before 12:10?
"Shen, Shen Lin, if it doesn't work, let's retreat." Xu Fang said tremblingly. He and Xiong Wenwen were the ones who experienced the fear of that ghost the most.
"It's better to stop talking nonsense like this. We have gone too deep into the core of this incident and it is impossible to complete the retreat in five minutes." Shen Lin said coldly.
He slowly opened the door of the shopping mall, and the pungent fishy smell hit him wave after wave, and the strange smell was full of ominousness.
The time came to 12:06, and they still had four minutes.
"Which floor did you find the ghost staircase on?" Shen Lin asked.
Xiong Wenwen was still trembling, but he tried hard to think for a while, and the predicted scenes flashed quickly.
"The third floor, in the northeast direction of the third floor."
Shen Lin nodded. He took the lead and asked everyone to follow him. Time was tight and there was no room for delay.
Xu Fang and Zhou Bin stayed close to Shen Lin, scanning everything around them from time to time.
There are many corpses and blood stains. This place has experienced incomparable tragedy and has completely turned into a prison for evil spirits.
In the pitch-black darkness, they relied on the flashlights they had prepared.
