8. Lanterns

This is the fourth time Su Wu has entered the game.

When he heard the electronic sound indicating that the game was successfully loaded, he stood up.

The ‘Dark Walker (Green)’ talent took effect automatically, and I saw a black and white picture that was the same as what I saw with an infrared night vision device.

He quickly picked up the notepad on the table, the turned off mobile phone, as well as the remote control and main switch box key next to it.

After the last simulation, Su Wu began to train himself to develop the habit of placing important items in fixed locations for easy finding.

This habit is reflected in future simulations.

He put away a few things and looked around, but still saw no trace of the Gangdong or the Imperial Bell.

I pushed the door open and walked to the living room, but I didn't see these two things.

Su Wu had a suspicion in his mind: "It seems that mysterious things like the Gangdong and the Imperial Bell will not be 'copied' a second time in future simulations."

Since the Imperial Bell has not been copied, it means that the Imperial Bell is also a magical weapon with mysterious effects.

My vision and luck are both good.

Thinking like this, an electronic sound vaguely appeared in his mind: "You have realized the temporary talent: Koi Possession (White)."

"Koi Possessed (White): You are the type of ordinary person who is easier to obtain mysterious items."

Because you got two mysterious items in a row, did you realize this talent?

Su Wu nodded mentally, stood at the door of the living room, and looked at the corridor outside through the peephole - there were no lights on in the corridor in the black and white picture.

He then unscrewed the door handle, turned off the voice-activated light, and walked cautiously downstairs.

Thanks to his first experience, he walked to the first floor smoothly this time.

There were no incidents on the way.

Although you can get an additional 3 Yuan Yu as a reward for every escape you get from Shadow Cui, this kind of thing ultimately depends on probability.

If you are lucky, the shadow ghost doesn't arrive instantly. If you kill yourself, you can get the reward.

If you are unlucky and the shadow trick comes in an instant, you will definitely die and you will waste another simulation opportunity.

Su Wu waited at the corner of the stairs for a while.

He didn't hear any movement from the residents on the first floor, so he went to the first floor and turned off the electric switch, then opened the door of the unit building and ran out!

Boom, boom, boom!

The sound of short and fierce footsteps echoed in the alleyway.

Skylight shines into the corridor between the two unit buildings, interweaving with the street lights on the corner to create a large number of overlapping shadows.

Su Wu's shadow was stretched extremely long under the light.

It kept beating as he ran wildly.

A wisp of corpse smell lingered in Su Wu's nose. In just one breath, the corpse smell became extremely strong, as if there was a rotting corpse next to him!

At the corner ahead, the streetlight emits orange light.

Behind him, thick black liquid surged out of his shadow and the shadows of various objects around him, wrapping around Su Wu from all directions!

The first moment the smell of corpses emerged, Su Wu put the hole to his lips and blew the sound!

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

A ghostly cry came from the cave, and the cold wind blew across Su Wu's skin.

The wind was instantly dyed red and surrounded Su Wu. When the shadows were covering Su Wu, the hand bones wrapped with silver veins rushed out of the wind and jerked forward!

Tsk!

A huge crack was torn open by the bones of Yinggui's hand!

Su Wu rushed out with a heavy head!

Different from the last time, this time the hand bones summoned by blowing the Gangdong followed Su Wu for two steps before being wrapped in the thick black liquid behind!

The light illuminated the hand bones wrapped in a layer of black film, and it expanded directly into a ten-fingered black hand dozens of feet long, filling the entire alleyway.

The ten fingers tightly grasped Su Wu who was just a short distance away!

"Come!"

A word burst out of Su Wu's mouth.

There were beads of sweat on his forehead, but there was an inexplicable madness in his eyes.

He held the imperial bell covered in green rust tightly in his right hand, and his wrist shook violently!

"Ding-dang-dang-dang-dang!"

A somewhat clear sound of bells rang through the alley, and invisible sound waves centered on Su Wu and radiated in all directions!

The ten pitch-black fingers grabbing Su Wu suddenly paused in mid-air!

It's frozen!

The Imperial Bell is very useful!

Su Wu didn't dare to hesitate, turned around and ran around the corner while holding the imperial bell!

The last time he escaped along this road, the simulator's comment was 'Escape is in sight', indicating that he might be saved if he took this road!

However, before he had taken a few steps, he suddenly felt the coldness approaching behind him——

"Ding-dang-dang-dang-dang!"

Su Wu shook the imperial bell again, and at the same time turned his head and looked back, seeing that the distance between the black hand and himself was less than two meters.

The imperial bell didn't ring just now. It got out of control and almost got close to Su Wu and squeezed him to death!

Fortunately, he reacted quickly!

so close!

Not daring to turn his back to Black Hand anymore, Su Wu was facing the huge arm two meters away, ringing the imperial bell and slowly retreating.

Invisible sound waves continued to radiate around, shrouding Black Hand in it.

As a result, Black Hand was like a short video with dropped frames, moving smoothly in rhythm, always maintaining a distance of two meters from Su Wu.

Until Su Wu exited the alleyway, the black hand finally stopped pursuing him.

It spread its fingers in vain at the entrance of the alley, but could only let Su Wu's figure drift away and walk out of the unit building.

The skylight pours into the dark forks, making the ground shine slightly.

Su Wu stood next to several trash cans, holding the imperial clock in his hand, looking at the shadow overlapping the trash cans behind him. No thick black liquid emerged from the shadow, nor did it turn into a shadow and stand up to kill him.

.

It was only then that he was convinced that he was out of trouble!

The escape was successful!

It doesn’t seem particularly difficult…

After laughing nervously a few times, Su Wu walked out of the side road and saw a familiar yet unfamiliar street.

There are many shops of various colors on both sides of the street, and the neon lights of advertising light boxes are shining, making it look like a bustling world.

However, a bunch of cars collided with each other in the east of the street, a bunch of cars in the west plunged into the green belt, black smoke billowed everywhere, and wildfires were burning everywhere, making this bustling world become inexplicably absurd.

Su Wu raised his eyes and looked at a barber shop across the street.

Inside the glass door, a barber is cutting hair for customers.

He held scissors in one hand and held the guest's neck with the other.

There was no head on the guest's neck, and his scissors were crisscrossing in vain in mid-air.

The barber's neck was also bald and headless.

Su Wu's heartbeat, which had just calmed down, became intense again.

He moved his eyes repeatedly. In the shops he could see, people were sitting, standing or lying down, but everyone's head was missing from their neck!

No one alive!

Where have all these people’s heads gone?!

The cold chilled Su Wu’s blood!

Before Su Wu could come to his senses, the lights in the surrounding shops, the neon signs on the streets, and the flames from the burning cars were all extinguished.

Red lanterns rise slowly from behind tall buildings.

Crimson light fell on Su Wu.

His vision stretched infinitely higher, overlooking this crimson and deserted street.

In this long crimson street, only fifty steps away from him, a small temple stood abruptly next to a cake shop.

The orange firelight from the temple came out, barely making a small space in the street shrouded in red light.

The orange light gives off a very warm and safe feeling.

Su Wu continued to look down.

He saw his body standing stiffly at the fork in the road, with a bare patch on his neck.

It turns out that it is even more unsafe outside the unit building...

One last thought flashed through his mind.
