It took the two teams much longer than expected to reunite.
There are only two and a half hours until midnight.
"We got lost..." Aning showed a very apologetic expression, "As a result, we took a lot of detours."
As a result, the two sides exchanged the information they obtained.
"You mean..." Dong Ning held her chin and thought for a while, then said, "You can see the person holding the umbrella, but Mr. Lan can't?"
"I also find it very confusing." Mr. Lan glanced at Aning and said, "I can guarantee that I really didn't see anything at that time."
"You saw it without looking through the gaps between your fingers... What is the principle behind the appearance and disappearance of ghosts?" Dong Ning always felt that there was some kind of clue that she had ignored, and by grasping this clue, she might be able to find out.
What comes.
There are still two and a half hours. This time is neither long nor short. If you cannot make good use of this time, the consequences will be disastrous.
"It seems that there are probably very few people left in the town, otherwise we wouldn't have walked for so long without meeting anyone." Dong Ning got more and more headaches as she thought about it. Time was limited and intelligence was limited. In this situation, she wanted to break the situation.
, it’s really too difficult.
"I think so too. It's really troublesome." Aning's mood became more and more anxious. "Or, we can consider whether there are other ways to leave Youming Town."
Dong Ning has not thought about this, but according to her deduction, it is unlikely that she can escape this curse by such means.
"Forget it, let's act together next." Dong Ning gave up the plan of dividing the troops into two groups, "I don't believe it. In such a big town, we really can't find any clues."
At this time, everyone is helpless. Under the current situation, there is really nothing that can be done.
"Then which direction are we heading in?" Aning was a little lost at this time. "We have walked around here several times."
"Go towards the secluded alleyway." Dong Ning replied, "Before, everyone chose the main road because of fear. Now try to move towards the narrow and secluded place. Maybe you can get something..."
"Wait!" At this time, Mr. Lan was the first to object, "Are you serious? Is this dangerous?"
"When midnight arrives, we may not even have the chance to take risks."
This sentence is very resounding, and everyone else also admits that now I am afraid that the only option is to take risks.
Otherwise, no one knows what will happen when midnight arrives.
…
This is a relatively narrow alley.
There are some one- and two-story houses on the roadside, and the courtyards of some buildings have quite dense trees. The place looks full of life, which is in sharp contrast to the previous extremely depressed appearance outside.
The passage of time will not wait for anyone. In the blink of an eye, it was already ten o'clock.
And up to this point, there is still no clue.
The only good news is that there have been no new casualties among the four people so far.
"This town feels so dead. You can't even hear the chirping of birds and insects." Regarding this, Aning felt extremely uneasy. "At midnight, if we still can't find a way out..."
"Don't say such things before the last moment." Dong Ning didn't think too much about it. "We just do our best. Besides, what will happen at midnight is still uncertain. In the worst case... we
Try another way out of this town."
As they walked, they turned a road, and then they discovered that in front of them was a garage for parking bicycles.
"this……"
At this moment, Mr. Lan suddenly stopped and stared blankly at the garage where the bicycles were parked.
"What's wrong?" Dong Ning saw his expression and asked, "Do you think we can leave the town by bicycle?"
Mr. Lan walked up slowly, and then a terrifying scene began to appear in his mind.
"Umbrella...umbrella..." he murmured to himself, "at that time..."
At this moment, Dong Ning immediately understood!
What did he remember?
She almost sprinted to Mr. Lan and asked anxiously, "What did you remember? Tell me quickly!"
Mr. Lan raised his hand and covered his forehead. He remembered some scenes.
Yes... right here...
It's in this place...
At that time, when he turned around, he saw a man in red clothes holding a red umbrella... The man's face was completely covered by the umbrella, and then he walked towards him.
At that time, he felt strong fear and death threats!
"Umbrella...the woman in red holding the umbrella..." He pointed to a certain location and said, "She saw me! Then..."
"Then?"
"Then I tried my best to escape..."
Dong Ning and Aning exchanged glances.
"Do you remember anything? When you saw the other person, did you see it through your fingers, or?"
"Probably, I saw it directly."
When Mr. Lan and An Ning acted together before, An Ning could see the umbrella holder, but he couldn't. But he could see it in his memory.
Could it be that whether you can see the person holding the umbrella is completely random?
There are no rules at all?
"I kept running... kept running... kept running..." Mr. Lan began to speak incoherently, "I don't remember what happened next."
Is this what happened before he lost his memory?
"Something's wrong," Aning said suddenly. "Before you lost your memory, it wasn't dark yet! Why did you meet someone holding an umbrella?"
"I can't remember clearly...I don't remember whether it was day or night at that time..."
Could it be that...it is also unsafe at dusk when the sun is about to go down? At dusk, when the sun is about to be swallowed up by the horizon, the evil spirits have already begun to come out? But because it is not completely dark yet, Mr. Lan escaped.
A disaster?
"Anyway, I finally found some clues." Dong Ning pointed around and said, "As you walked around, do you still remember where you were running towards?"
"Then, let me take a look."
Mr. Lan's expression gradually returned to calm. He followed Dong Ning, Aning and the man in the middle of the road for a walk in the nearby alley.
"I should have acted in this direction at that time."
Mr. Lan pointed to a certain location.
"There?"
Several people moved there, looking at the front of the alley, Mr. Lan slowly stretched out a finger.
This alley is very narrow, with a stinking ditch on both sides, which is full of sewage and garbage, exuding a rather unpleasant smell.
"Let's go over and have a look."
Dong Ning could only try as much as possible at this time. This was a breakthrough. Maybe the memory that Mr. Lan recalled would be very important. She even walked at the front of the team.
The man holding the umbrella appeared in front of Mr. Lan, and he was able to escape immediately. Is it because it was not dark yet?
Are these evil spirits afraid of sunlight like vampires?
Could it be that the purpose of that umbrella is to block the ultraviolet rays of the sun?
But if it is just for this purpose, why does it have to be a red umbrella?
Especially since Mr. Lan said that the other person was also wearing red clothes, so... could it be said that it was the same ghost as the one he saw before? After all, the ghosts he saw so far had different clothes and heights, so they were probably not the same ghost.
Thinking of this, she quickly turned around, raised her hand, and looked behind her through the gaps between her fingers.
There were only Aning, Mr. Lan and Zhongfen behind. However, Dong Ning was cautious, so just in case, she said, "Get out of the way and I'll look behind you."
When the three of them heard what she said, they immediately understood that she wanted to detect whether there was a ghost, and immediately moved out of the way. An Ning even put his whole body on the smelly ditch, so that Dong Ning could see if there was any ghost at the maximum range.
Ghost. And she herself was somewhat timid and didn't dare to look. As for Mr. Lan and Zhong Fentou, they were also worried and didn't dare to look by themselves.
Dong Ning took a closer look and made sure there was nothing unusual behind him, then he breathed a sigh of relief and turned around.
A woman dressed in red and holding an umbrella stood upright less than one meter in front of her. The umbrella... could almost touch her nose!
