After running for a long time, Dong Ning stopped, turned her head, and looked behind her through her fingers.
Then she saw a terrible scene
The red-clothed evil spirit followed closely behind
"He's still here"
This is obviously not the same evil spirit in red that I saw before. There is an obvious difference in height.
"Keep running"
"Wait, I'm looking for a red umbrella, but how do I find it?" Aning was going crazy now. She had encountered a red umbrella more than once along the way, but how should she find it now?
"You must find a red umbrella. A red umbrella."
At this moment, Dong Ning suddenly thought of something.
She remembered that Aning told her that Aning woke up in a car. At that time, she found a box in the trunk behind the car. There were several empty plastic bags in the box. And those few
The plastic bags are all the same size and have no fonts printed on them.
"If we knew the importance of umbrellas before we lost our memory, there would definitely be people hoarding red umbrellas in large quantities on this day and selling them. It shouldn't be difficult for us to buy umbrellas. Then we put the umbrellas behind the trunk of the car. Those plastic
Bags are all used to hold umbrellas.”
Evil spirits have always appeared with red umbrellas, and because of this, they are extremely afraid of red umbrellas and dare not approach them.
But now that I think about it
"The people holding umbrellas we have been seeing are probably more human beings"
What impressed her most was when she entered the Internet cafe. As soon as she got to the second floor, she heard a sound. However, the next thing she saw was someone holding an umbrella on the balcony.
At that time, judging from the eaves under the balcony of the Internet cafe, it would be easy for the opponent to climb over if he was better. It was probably a small town resident staying on the second floor of the Internet cafe. After hearing the noise outside, he thought it was someone holding an umbrella.
So he jumped out with an umbrella. When Dong Ning called the man on the balcony, the man left immediately without looking back. After turning the corner, Zhongfentou and the short man did not look at each other.
Going in the direction of that person, it's normal that I didn't notice it. There are several lanes on that road, and I probably turned into one of them.
The man holding an umbrella she saw in the cat's eye was probably a living person. The reason why the dog stopped barking at that time may be because the dog was given a tool to seal its mouth, or because he was worried about attracting ghosts, so he simply acted cruelly and directly
Killed the dog.
The key evidence is that neither the person holding the umbrella at the Internet cafe nor the one seen through Maoyan was wearing red clothes.
"An Ning, you could see it at that time, Mr. Lan, no, that invisible umbrella man was probably a small town resident. You said that man was not wearing red clothes, but you could see it, but he couldn't.
Yeah, I'm afraid it's because he can't see it under the red umbrella."
"He can't see me because he is a ghost."
"This is the protective effect of umbrellas on living people."
"No, if that's the case, then why did he see again just now? Also, if he is a ghost, why did he only start killing people now?"
Dong Ning was running and thinking, and after a while, she said, "I'm afraid his amnesia is not fake, maybe it's real."
"you mean"
"He regained his memory when he passed by the bicycle garage."
Dong Ning began to integrate the clues in his mind and came up with the following speculation.
People in this small town must always hold an umbrella when entering the dark night. Only in this way can they avoid being killed by evil spirits. It is naturally very uncomfortable to hold an umbrella all night long, even when sleeping.
It's convenient, but if you're not careful, you may die. Naturally, most people's choice is to temporarily move out of this town and come back after one night.
But if they are not careful and fail to hold the umbrella, they will be discovered and killed by evil spirits, and they will turn into evil spirits on this day a year later and lose their memory. They will hold on to the red umbrella they used to have and turn into a new red one.
Umbrella evil spirits. When they lose their memory, they do not know that they are ghosts and will not be aggressive. Most importantly, they cannot see the person holding the umbrella. As time goes by, when they regain their memory,
You can see people holding umbrellas. But at this time, the red umbrella will protect the town residents, making the evil spirits mistakenly think that they are also red umbrella evil spirits.
"
It's my fault." Dong Ning reacted at this time. "After I asked him to nod, it was revealed that he was not the red umbrella evil spirit. So at first, even if the person woke up after being hit by a stone, he still ignored us and didn't speak.
, and even closed his eyes directly, because he was under the red umbrella, and the evil spirits could mistake him for being a ghost, but if he spoke, he would tell the truth. Look at the man holding the umbrella that I saw under the Internet cafe at that time, and Aning.
Everyone who arrived thought we were ghosts, so they ignored us.”
"What should I do?"
"I remember that Internet cafe had a red umbrella."
"Do you remember where the Internet cafe is?"
"I roughly remember the route," Dong Ning gritted her teeth and said, "As long as we get there, that's fine."
"But there seems to be only one umbrella. There are three of us."
"I remember that the umbrella was pretty big, so it should be fine."
In fact, Dong Ning didn't remember the size of the umbrella at all, but she had to stabilize her heart at this time. If there was really only one umbrella, then only the dead Taoist friend would not die. There was no way she could do it for two people she didn't know.
People who sacrifice their lives to die.
It's midnight
what will happen
At this time, turn around again, cover your eyes with your hands and look through the gaps between your fingers.
No one followed behind.
However, she didn't dare to rest assured at all. It was too close to midnight, and no one knew what would happen then.
Restrictions lifted
What does it mean to lift restrictions?
Does it mean that even if you get the red umbrella, it will be very dangerous?
But no matter what, for Dong Ning now, getting the red umbrella as soon as possible is the best way to survive.
But now that there is no evil spirit chasing behind him, he doesn't have to run all the time and can save some energy. However, Dong Ning realizes that this is likely to be the last peace before the storm.
"Dong Ning, do you really remember how to get to that Internet cafe?" At this time, Aning was still a little uneasy.
"Yes, I remember."
"That, that's good"
"However, I still can't imagine that that person is a ghost." Zhong Fentou was still in shock, "He, why did he turn into an evil spirit just by saying that?"
"I have a question," Aning thought of a question. "If Mr. Lan really lost his memory at the beginning, what happened to the piece of paper he said was blown off?"
"Maybe it was a piece of paper he carried with him. There are many different possibilities."
"But he seemed to tell me that he vaguely remembered that the first line on the paper seemed to be his name or something like that."
"He should have been a beggar during his lifetime. Beggars often write a piece of paper clearly stating their identity and why they are reduced to begging so that passers-by can see clearly, and then give money. As a beggar, if you want to steal, this night is the best
opportunity. So maybe he held the red umbrella and wanted to do something, but he died in the end."
"This" Aning was stunned for a moment, "You said it as if you had seen it with your own eyes."
"I'm just making a bold assumption. Before that, he himself didn't know that he was dead." Zhong said this separately, and suddenly a flash of fear passed through his heart. "Wait a minute for you two, no, including me, maybe we
It has also turned into a red umbrella evil spirit."
"No," Dong Ning replied immediately, "As I just said, before we recover our memory, we can see living people holding umbrellas, right?"
"If you can see people holding umbrellas, it means they are alive. It's just your assumption." Zhongfang still couldn't relieve the fear in his heart. "We haven't really become the kind of evil spirits that are wandering around, right?"
"And the USB flash drive is a video taken during the day." Dong Ning continued, "There is Aning's voice in the video, so Aning should be alive, and she can see the person holding the umbrella, and we can too.
, from this point of view, it is more likely that we are alive."
"Well I hope so"
Time flies.
There are less than ten minutes until midnight.
At this time, the panting three people finally arrived in front of the Internet cafe.
"It's finally here." Dong Ning was extremely happy and turned around and said, "We"
