Chapter 454: The Strange Shadow of the Sick Building (Part 1)
Jiang Qinian looked around, and then entered the hospital building on the side first.
The corridor was very quiet, and the incandescent lamps that were supposed to be on were extinguished one by one. From time to time, one or two moths flew back and forth, and then lay on top of the lamps.
With the blessing of Xi's night vision ability, such an environment is nothing to Jiang Qinian, and it is even more conducive for him to capture dynamic targets.
So after seeing the moth above his head, he couldn't help but murmured to himself:
"There are moths... Judging from the habits of moths, the lights here should have just been extinguished not long ago, and there is still residual warmth, so the moths will lie on it."
Turning on and off... Is there some mystery behind this?
Suddenly, Jiang Qinian seemed to have thought of something.
He just snapped his fingers, and the incandescent light above his head turned on. After seeing such a scene, his pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.
This is a voice controlled light!
And when he first came in, he didn't make any sound, but even so, the moths still rushed to the light tube...
Doesn't that mean...
He seemed to realize something.
While alerting the surroundings, he carefully controlled the airflow in the air, constantly driving away a few moths above his head.
There are many corridors in this building and they are messy. If he had to look for them by himself, it would probably take him a long time to find anything.
Since the other party wanted to play hide-and-seek with him, he would simply come to him directly. The horror of the unknown lies in the unknown. Once it becomes known, the danger is not worth mentioning.
You must know that Jiang Qinian is not a rookie with no power.
If the incarnation of the Big Nightmare hadn't been here, and if he had his own concerns, it wouldn't have been difficult to knock down the entire building with his strength. Why would he need to be so cautious?
He walked forward slowly, and the moths above him continued to fly forward due to the surge of air.
In order to avoid scaring away the moths with too much movement, he stopped while walking. Whenever he walked diagonally underneath the light tube, he would stop to observe the direction of the moths.
The "person" walking in front of him had just left not long ago, and the hospital building was completely enclosed, so the remaining warmth would not dissipate so quickly.
Moreover, moths are very sensitive to temperature, so there is no need to worry about getting lost for the time being.
Just like this, I followed the moth all the way and stopped, and finally arrived at the stairs.
He looked at the blood-stained stairs above and walked up without thinking.
There are four floors in the entire hospital building, and there is nothing worth observing on the second floor. At least the "person" who lured me here has not yet appeared.
Thinking of this, he continued walking towards the third floor.
The moths were driven away all the way, and finally the light tube on the right side of the stairs stopped motionless. Even when they reached the next corridor light, they were flying around above the head and never landed on the incandescent lamp.
But now that the general direction was determined, Jiang Qinian no longer cared about those moths and let them fly to other places.
At this time, he snapped his fingers again, but the light above his head did not light up at all, and this made Jiang Qinian frown slightly...
"Unknown should be on this floor. The corridor lights probably cannot light up because Unknown is here, or... this is a kind of unknown ability..."
He walked forward slowly, ready to take action at any time, but at this moment, he suddenly found a dim candlelight suddenly lit up at the corner in front of him!
Then, a strong wind blew in the corridor, and Jiang Qinian could hardly open his eyes. When he came to his senses again, he was a little surprised to find a figure appearing in the corridor in front of him!
Night vision didn't have any effect.
In his sight, the lingering black mist obscured the man's face, his hands hung weakly on both sides of his body, and his head,
But he was looking at the ceiling strangely...
Immediately afterwards, the lights came on, but the figure seemed to disappear from his sight along with the darkness.
Jiang Qinian looked around vigilantly, but he didn't catch any terrifying aura. The entire corridor was empty, and he couldn't see anything wrong...
"Huh? What's going on?"
Just when he was confused, the lights went out again. As soon as he recovered from the flickering environment, he suddenly noticed something appearing behind him!
He turned around while retreating, and then punched suddenly!
The fist hit the black shadow, but it had no effect. The powerful force scraped the walls on both sides into pieces, but the black shadow only made a circle of ripples, and then stopped moving.
Then, the black shadow raised his arm and slowly grabbed Jiang Qinian's shoulder.
Seeing this situation, Jiang Qinian quickly dodged and exited the black shadow's attack range.
But then something unexpected happened to him.
Just when he was about to take action, he suddenly felt a coldness on his shoulders. After that, he felt as if his whole body had fallen into an ice cellar, and his teeth were chattering due to the cold.
What's going on?
I have obviously dodged the opponent's attack, but why am I still being attacked?
Could it be...a mind attack?
"No...no, there must be something wrong somewhere..."
Jiang Qinian shook his head with a solemn expression.
The other party didn't do anything, just patted his shoulder lightly, but he clearly felt that his body had become much lighter, his body temperature had dropped significantly, and even some of his senses were slowly being weakened.
eliminate?
Such a word came to his mind.
Ever since the black shadow patted his shoulder, he felt that part of himself as a human being had been inadvertently deprived of him.
If he continues like this, I'm afraid he will be completely dead after two or three more attacks, and whether he can become a ghost by then is anyone's guess.
The most likely outcome is that your soul will be shattered and nothing will be left behind.
The passive effect of the Styx Body was not triggered, and Jiang Qinian had no intention of actively activating the Styx Body.
So far, the forces in the hospital do not know that he possesses the Styx Body. Except for using it in the old city and against the ghosts, they have not used it since entering the hospital.
This is the biggest trump card in his hand, and it can even be said to be a terrifying existence that can suppress all bug abilities, so he will not use it easily before meeting the Big Nightmare.
Thinking of this, Jiang Qinian felt his physical condition.
"If this continues, I will be able to withstand two attacks at most. If it exceeds two attacks, I will definitely die.
Maybe... you can try using a fake as bait..."
Thinking of this, he immediately created a fake body, and then quietly waited for the next attack of the black shadow.
Through the various phenomena just now, he discovered a pattern, that is, the black shadow will not attack when the lights are on.
The shadow will only attack when the lights go out, and when the shadow attacks, the candle will light up instead...
Wait...candles???
Jiang Qinian seemed to have thought of something.
Why do candles light up when a shadow attacks me? Is this necessary?
Unless...candles are a must-have!
Besides, he really couldn't imagine why the shadow would light a candle when attacking.
If you look at the role of candles on the surface, their only purpose is to reveal the shadow of the black shadow!
At first, he thought that the black shadow's touch ability was a conceptual ability, which meant that he could definitely touch the opponent's shoulder.
If that were the case, it would be much more difficult to deal with.
concept
There is almost no solution to the conceptual ability. Unless you have a more terrifying and powerful conceptual ability than the opponent, you can only break it by killing the opponent at the moment before he attacks you.
But if this is the case, then the role of the candle will become dispensable. It is impossible for the other party to put a candle there to increase the scary atmosphere, right?
But if the function of the candle is to highlight the shadow of the dark ghost, then everything will make sense.
Therefore, the reason why the black shadow can still touch him after he dodges it is because of the existence of shadow. It is the black shadow that makes the move, but it is the shadow that really attacks him!
Just when he thought of this, the lights in the corridor suddenly went out. On the contrary, the dim candle was lit again, and this time a black shadow appeared directly in front of him, only half a meter away from him.
!
Obviously, the fake body had no effect.
Just now, in order to confuse the audience, he deliberately turned the fake body and the real body upside down, but the black shadow still locked onto him immediately without any hesitation.
Jiang Qinian couldn't tell whether the other party was in the demigod state, but he thought that even if he was not in the demigod state, it was not much different from him.
Just as his brain was running rapidly, the shadow changer raised his arm again and quickly patted his shoulder!
Seeing this situation, he advanced instead of retreating and quickly ran towards the candle!
With the corner of his eye, he noticed the shadow behind him.
Under the weak light of the candle, the shadow looked extremely twisted and weird, and its size was enlarged countless times, like a monster wandering in the darkness, harvesting the lives of innocent people!
The position of the candle is different every time.
The first time it appeared, it was at the corner. At that time, the black shadow had not yet attacked. The second time it appeared, it was behind the black shadow. As for the third time, although the position had changed, it was still behind the black shadow.
Not far away.
In just one breath, the huge shadow grabbed Jiang Qinian along the wall, and its speed was even faster than him!
Seeing that it was too late to blow out the candles, he didn't hesitate anymore, but directly fired several wind blades with his hands, striking straight at the shadow behind him!
But what is incredible is that the wind blade was not hindered by any obstacles and quickly passed through the shadow.
At the same time, Jiang Qinian felt his shoulder being tapped...
