"Gu Mian took this car himself. The place where we live is not far from the company. We can walk there." Xia Jianren took a few breaths of cold air as he spoke. It may be that his facial expression was too intense and it touched the painful spot.
.
"Yes," Cang Yue nodded and looked at the empty road. The street lamps emitted dim light on both sides and several moths were swirling around the street lamps. "He had already packed the car when we escaped."
At that time, they had just escaped from the dangerous staff dormitory and got into a taxi without having time to think about it.
At this time, an incredible idea suddenly popped into Wang Chuan's head: "He wouldn't have expected that the driver was a ghost when he took a taxi, right?"
"It's very possible." Cang Yue let out a long breath, feeling very tired.
Among the eight missing people, the driver has been confirmed to be dead, and the remaining seven are probably in danger. In this case, it will be difficult to find a way out of them.
But if these eight people were all dead, why were their bodies never found?
At this time, Coco, who was supporting Zhao Shuang next to him, asked: "Then do we want to continue walking to the company?"
Cang Yue came back to her senses and turned to look at Zhao Shuang. This NPC may have fallen a little hard when he fell off the car, and he couldn't walk independently. At least his head was not broken. He looked very awake, with fear on his face.
"Let's go. This place should be very close to the company. Let's walk there." Cang Yue said as she pressed her pocket. There was also a fruit knife in it. Fortunately, the fruit knife was not messed up when she jumped out of the car.
Move, otherwise she will be stabbed herself.
Wang Chuan and Xia Jianren were already limping forward. Wang Chuan turned around and said to them: "Let's go quickly. We have fallen like this. It will be dangerous to stay here for one second longer."
The "here" he said meant the copy.
Normally those players who were not injured and were running around would have a narrow escape in the dungeon. What's more, a group of them with injured legs and feet couldn't run fast at all.
Cang Yue tried her best to ignore the pain in her feet and quickly walked a few steps to the two of them, putting some distance between herself and Zhao Shuang who was being supported by Ke Ke behind her.
She glanced sideways at Zhao Shuang, who was struggling to advance behind her, and whispered to the two of them: "Now that we all have difficulty moving, it is impossible to pass the dungeon passively. If we encounter a ghost, we can't run away like this."
Wang Chuan nodded: "Then what do you mean..."
"We can't run. If we stay in this dangerous environment for a second longer, we may die. What we need to do most now is to make this copy no longer dangerous." Cang Yue's voice was so low that you could hardly hear it unless you listened carefully.
She glanced at Zhao Shuang behind her again: "That is to say, we have to find a way out as soon as possible. My guess may not be completely accurate, but what is certain is that the way out of this copy must be related to Zhao Shuang's lost memory. As long as she remembers
From what happened on October 1st, we can deduce the way of death from it."
Why did the bus roll over and fall down the mountain? What does it have to do with Zhao Shuang? As long as she remembers it, everything will be solved.
They have already explored the staff dormitory and got some clues.
Xia Jianren's cell phone chat records indicate that Zhao Shuang had a dispute with him before he lost his memory, but judging from Zhao Shuang's current attitude, it seems that he has forgotten about this incident.
Cang Yue limped forward: "Anyway, let's go to the company first and do our best to search for clues that can stimulate her memory..."
Wang Chuan nodded in agreement.
Xia Jianren looked at the dark road and thought of the taxi again: "I don't know how the guy named Gu Mian is doing now."
"By the way," thinking of Xia Jianren remembering something in the taxi, he turned to look at Cang Yue, "Why did you ask about crazy word guessing when you were in the taxi? Have you entered that dungeon too?"
Hearing this, Cang Yue frowned: "No, I didn't know it was a copy before. I heard the name from Gu Mian. Do you remember that Gu Mian happened to be in the phone booth when we first escaped from the community?
Call me."
Both nodded.
"When I passed by, I happened to hear him asking the person on the phone if he knew about Sweet Manor, and then asked the person if he had watched the two variety shows Crazy Word Guessing and Sweet Lovers."
Xia Jianren opened his mouth: "There are only five of us players in the dungeon, so he must be calling the NPC. In other words, he is asking the NPC in this dungeon if he knows about another dungeon?"
It's really incredible.
Cang Yue continued: "I don't know what the answer he got, but I think it's groundless. Maybe there is really some connection between these game copies?"
Compared to Cang Yue and Xia Jianren, Wang Chuan was more concerned about the matter in front of him: "Now is not the time to discuss this kind of issue. If you really want to know the answer, you can ask Gu Mian next time you see him."
Xia Jianren pursed his lips, as if he had given up hope of seeing Gu Mian again: "We may not see him again. He followed the ghost driver and left alone. I'm afraid it's worse... Wait a minute, what's that in front of you?"
Hearing this, everyone followed Xia Jianren's gaze and saw two beams of light appearing in front of the originally empty road, which were obviously car headlights.
A car was driving slowly from the front with its headlights on. The key was that the car looked familiar. They had just jumped off it not long ago!
"That ghost is back!" Xia Jianren looked at the familiar front of the car and almost jumped up.
Cang Yue reacted quickly. The moment she saw the front of the car again, she turned around and ran away. At the same time, she shouted at the others: "Run separately!"
One ghost, five people, running separately is indeed the best way to delay time and the safest plan.
Several people dispersed instantly, spreading their legs and running back as hard as they could.
It's just that the road is straight and there are no forks where you can branch off, so the group of people can only run away in one direction together.
But how can a person with limited mobility outrun a vehicle with four wheels? The first person to be overtaken was Xia Jianren, who fell behind and almost died of running.
Within seconds he was overtaken, and the car was traveling parallel to him.
Xia Jianren did not dare and did not have the strength to turn around and look at the car driving alongside him. He just dragged his painful leg and ran forward desperately, trying to escape from the car.
He thought that he might die, die in this terrifying and cold copy, and then lie on the road after death. He didn't know if the body could return to the real world.
Gu Mian stepped on the accelerator and slowly rolled down the window to look at Xia Jianren outside. From here, he could just see his profile.
Xia Jianren's face was blue from holding back, his eye circles and nose were red, and he was about to shed tears.
Gu Mian estimated that if he was allowed to run for a few more minutes, he would die suddenly on the spot.
"Where are you racing?" Xia Jianren, who was trying to escape, suddenly heard these words coming from beside him.
The voice didn't sound like a ghost, it sounded quite familiar.
He subconsciously slowed down and looked at the car next to him, only to see that the window had been rolled down at some point, revealing Gu Mian's face inside.
Seeing this familiar face, Xia Jianren twisted his foot and sat down on the ground. Now his other foot, which was fine before, is also twisted.
Then what broke out in Gu Mian's ears was the sound of wailing.
The man with red eyes finally couldn't help it anymore after he sat down on the ground and started to cry loudly.
Gu Mian looked at Xia Jianren sitting on the ground through the car window and didn't quite understand why he was crying.
This cry also reached the ears of the people who were running away in front. Cang Yue originally thought that she would hear a few screams, which would be the last sound a person makes before dying, but she did not expect that what she heard was crying.
The ghost in the car seemed to be very patient, as if he was waiting for the person to finish crying before taking action.
She looked back strangely, only to see that the car had stopped, the door was open, and there was no one in the driver's seat. Moving her eyes to the side, she saw Gu Mian squatting next to Xia Jianren, who was crying.
Pass the tissue.
Xia Jianren grabbed a tissue and wiped his nose hard. Gu Mian, who was squatting aside, took out another one and handed it to him.
Cang Yue also stopped.
Several other people apparently also realized that things were different from what they imagined, and they all stopped to watch Gu Mian handing tissues to Xia Jianren.
The scene is very warm, but a little strange.
"So it's not the ghost driver who drove the car back, but Gu Mian who drove the car back to pick us up?" The people who calmed down quickly gathered together and got into the car. Cang Yue was asking Gu Mian what happened just now.
Only Xia Jianren, who was in the passenger seat, was still twitching and didn't recover.
"That's true," Gu Mian turned the steering wheel and said, "Who would have known that I would see you guys racing when I came back."
It doesn't matter whether they are racing or not. Cang Yue twitched her eyebrows and said, "Isn't the driver a ghost? How did you get back safely? You even brought someone else's car with you."
Who would have thought that one second it was Gu Mian's car, and the next second it belonged to Gu Mian.
"I saw that you all fell down, so I told the driver that someone had fallen behind and asked him to come back and pick you up again."
"It's really yours!" Xia Jianren said as he pressed his nose hard.
Gu Mian continued to describe: "But he didn't say anything and ignored me. I thought at that time that this driver really has no professional ethics. I have encountered this kind of driver without professional ethics before, but in the end I was moved by my feelings.
Eli convinced him;
"I told the driver that what he did was unethical and that he would have to pick you all up later. He ignored me at first, but then I talked to him a lot and moved him. He burst into tears.
He cried because it was all his fault, and he was so ashamed that he didn't have the face to see you, so he just gave me the car and asked me to come back and find you."
"What the hell?" - After listening to Gu Mian's description, Cang Yue made these four words of evaluation in her heart.
Looking at the expressions of the others, it was obvious that they were all thinking the same thing as Cang Yue, but they had a tacit understanding. No one said what they were thinking, they just nodded awkwardly.
They felt more and more that this man was abnormal, and they didn't dare to refute his words, for fear that Gu Mian would go crazy.
Just when a few people were wondering how this car got into Gu Mian's hands, Xia Jianren in the passenger seat suddenly said: "Look to the right."
Everyone in the car looked out the right window, and saw something curled up on the road on the right, motionless, as if it had been beaten to death and dragged to the side of the road. If you look closely, you can see that it was
I am still wearing clothes. The most important thing is that the clothes look very familiar!
These are the ghost driver's clothes!
It's just that Gu Mian was driving very fast and passed the thing in a blink of an eye and lost sight of it.
The moment she saw the thing on the roadside, Coco seemed to hear the teeth of the people in the car chattering.
