To make matters worse, the number of missing people has begun to increase significantly!
From a few people missing every night, to a dozen people, and then to more than 20 people.
The situation is becoming more and more serious.
Every day, people leave messages online, saying that they have heard strange sounds recently and started to have nightmares. In their dreams, they saw a strange shadow slowly approaching them...
Gu Nian and Lin Chen, who had not obtained suitable weapons and were afraid that they would be in danger if they acted too much, decided to keep a low profile even though they were determined to solve the puzzle and gain more initiative.
Although they took precautions and kept a low profile, crises still struck unexpectedly.
Around midnight on the twelfth day of the game, when Gu Nian got up to go to the toilet, he saw an unusual scene.
The windows of the apartment they rented were hinged windows.
Through the gaps between the folds, you can vaguely see the shadows cast by the treetops outside.
When the night breeze blows by, you can still hear the rustling of the treetops.
Gu Nian was washing his hands in the bathroom when he suddenly looked up and saw a figure appearing on the garden path outside the community.
It was a woman with disheveled hair and wearing pajamas.
The woman walked crookedly, and her posture and movements looked extremely strange.
Gu Nian couldn't help but hissed.
Could it be...that this is the legendary missing person incident?!
She accidentally and unintentionally witnessed what happened!
She immediately took out the telescope from the space and began to carefully observe the situation outside through the gaps between the folding windows, hoping to find something.
While she was observing, she began to use the intelligent brain-computer system to call Lin Chen who was resting.
"Brother Lin, I'm in the bathroom. From my side, I can just see a missing woman." Gu Nian whispered.
As she spoke, she observed with a telescope, but found that there seemed to be nothing strange around her. Only the woman was alone, walking unsteadily on the road...
Hey, that’s not right!
She seemed to see... something shaking under the streetlight!
She carefully and slowly moved the telescope, observed carefully, and finally discovered that on a tree in the community garden, there was something... that was difficult to describe in words!
That thing stuck to the tree trunk, like a mist or a light gray shadow. It almost blended into the trunk, but it kept twisting. The thing was thin and long, like a snake.
Same, you can't tell it unless you look carefully.
The woman walked slowly on the road, step by step, until she reached the tree where the thing was attached.
The thing started to get closer to her.
It...like a snake, swam down from the tree, blended into the shadow at the woman's feet, climbed up quickly along her legs, as if covering the woman with a gray coat.
Like clothes, attached to the woman's back!
Immediately afterwards, it stretched out two hands-like objects and covered the woman's eyes, and then stretched out two "hands" to cover her ears...
Gu Nian saw with her own eyes that the woman's figure became fainter and fainter under the street lights, until finally she was about to disappear...
It was also at this time that the thing seemed to sense that someone was secretly observing it...
