Liancheng thinks that if he has any specialty, it is...
Extremely accurate countdown capability.
This stems from a time-cursed blood instruction that he and Yi Zhen had executed before. As we all know, time is a key element of the blood-letter instructions, and one must arrive at the designated place before the specified time. Similarly, one can escape from the designated place only after the time specified in the blood-letter words has passed.
That bloody word, the strange change of time caused Liancheng to count the seconds continuously, and in the end, he actually learned how to count the seconds accurately.
Even without looking at the watch, his countdown accuracy is very high! Before Western painting, he used this countdown ability to calculate the time interval.
After seeing the two pieces of clothing, he immediately started counting down the seconds and kept running back. Although I'm not sure about the exact time the ghost was sealed in the clothes, but roughly calculated, it won't be less than fifteen seconds!
At Liancheng's current speed, it would take at least 30 seconds to complete the 200 meters. This was when he was running desperately, after all, the physical exertion was there.
In this huge white labyrinth, most of the corridors end with several forks. Of course, there are also cases where there is only one turning passage, but this is relatively rare.
At this moment, Liancheng ran into one of the side roads again, and he did not relax at the moment!
After all, there are two ghosts! In other words, you can chase him separately! Under such circumstances, he must not relax in the slightest!
The corridor where ghosts can be sealed into clothes is a very important clue for Liancheng!
However, the length and width of the corridor are obviously no different from ordinary corridors. What is it? left? Or…
And, how many such corridors exist in the maze? If you don't know the characteristics and distribution rules, this way of life will not help! Impossible to get in by luck!
The most important question is... how to find that room? Can you really find the entrance to that room in the maze as Cha Zhibin said? What if this maze is purely for killing them? If you stay in this maze all the time, you will die sooner or later!
But now, Liancheng has no way to think about these things, because the ghosts may come after him with him!
Running into a new corridor, he was already out of breath, and even if he took a little step at this time, he would feel like his body was about to fall apart. After all, physical strength is almost at its limit.
He turned his head, but there was no movement behind him.
"Temporarily... rest... for a while."
It is estimated that the possibility of ghosts catching up is relatively low. But he didn't dare to get down on his stomach, and kept paying attention to the end of the corridor.
Using the precious time, he began to think, how to find the corridor that can restrain ghosts just now
Can the corridor just now be restrained all the time, or can one end be restrained? Or is there a special trigger condition
Even though Lian Cheng was thinking hard, he also knew that his IQ was far behind Li Yin's after all. What's more, Li Yin was calm enough, and his psychological quality was amazing. one of the reasons.
As for Liancheng, he couldn't be as calm as Li Yin, and his heart was still shrouded in fear at this moment.
After a while, he was basically sure that those two ghosts had lost him. Even so, however, vigilance cannot be let down. There are countless ghosts like this in this labyrinth.
Liancheng continued to walk forward, and every time he took a step, he kept looking back. To be honest, walking in this eerie, extremely quiet maze is simply a huge psychological torture.
It was nearly three o'clock.
There are three more hours.
These may be the last three hours of his life. Survive these three hours without dying, and he can leave that apartment forever! However, if he couldn't make it through, this hell castle would be his burial place!
Three hours, in such a maze, to survive for three hours, no matter how you think about it, even the city feels impossible.
The farther back the apartment goes, the less restrictive the ghosts become. And... the most terrifying existence in this castle—the devil king, is definitely not an existence that I can shake!
Without Li Yin and Yin Ye, without the hell contract, if you want to survive... you have to find a way to find that room and move the coffin!
This is the only way!
Although it's hard to imagine that the real reminder of the way to survive will be written so conspicuously on the back of the ticket, but the difficulty of the devil-level instructions in blood is against the sky. Perhaps to achieve this, you have to go through countless traps, and then Arrive inside the room.
Along the way, Western paintings, men in black robes, hanging trees, mazes...
There may be more traps in the future, and the way out of these traps must be found one by one before reaching that room.
At the end of the corridor ahead, there are only two forks this time. The two forks are in opposite directions, one to the left and the other to the right.
To be honest, Liancheng really didn't understand why the special corridor just now could seal away ghosts. What's the difference? No matter how you look at it, it's just an ordinary corridor.
Without any characteristics, how to judge which is the correct path
Moreover, what is the distribution of such roads
This suddenly reminded Liancheng of a movie he had watched before, called "Panic Fang". The story is that when a group of people wake up, they find themselves in a huge maze composed of countless cubic rooms. Regardless of whether you face up, down, east, south, west, or north, you can only enter the same cube room.
However, not all cube rooms are safe. There are some rooms with deadly traps. Once you step into those rooms, you will fall into a desperate situation and be brutally killed by traps. And only by mastering certain rules of the room, can we know which rooms have traps and which rooms have no traps.
Liancheng watched this movie five years ago, and his memory is a little fuzzy. However, those cubic rooms in the movie left a very deep impression on him. He vaguely remembered that in the movie, mathematical knowledge was used to solve the mystery of the room.
So... Could this maze be similar to the cube room in that movie? Certain corridors, like rooms with traps
Liancheng's math grades are not good, he is good at planning and design, so after graduating from university, he was in charge of wedding planning in a wedding company, and because of this, he met Yi Zhen. He basically returned all his knowledge of mathematics to the teacher.
He could only bite the bullet and think, was the distribution of the corridor... a problem of algebra, or a problem of geometry? For example, the corridor is the room after the first turn, is it singular or plural? Or does the corridor need to be parallel to other corridors, perpendicular or something
There are so few clues. It would be great if, if only Li Yin was here... Even if Cha Zhibin is here. Maybe the swindler can see the pattern!
At this time, Cha Zhibin was also walking in a certain corridor with Zhao Wuyeol.
"Finally got rid of that guy." Zhao Wulie said out of breath, "Mr. Che, we now..."
The two came to a certain fork in the road, which was a standard intersection.
"Stop." Che Zhibin grabbed Zhao Wulie and said in a low voice, "Don't stand at the fork in the road, or the danger of being discovered will be multiplied many times."
Zhao Wulie nodded quickly.
Che Zhibin leaned his body against the wall, leaned his head slightly, and looked at the side roads on the left and right.
The corridor here has also expanded to two hundred meters long.
"There is no ghost." Che Zhibin turned around and said, "Go this way. There are more forks in the road over there."
"En." Zhao Wulie nodded and immediately followed.
"You always pay attention to the back," Cha Zhibin said calmly, "I pay attention to the front."
Both walked at a fast pace, but they didn't dare to go too fast, for fear that the footsteps would be too loud.
Just when he was about to reach the end of the corridor, Cha Zhibin suddenly stopped, turned his head immediately, and made a shh gesture for Zhao Wulie to see.
"What... what's wrong?" Zhao Wulie hurriedly lowered his voice to the softest, and asked, "Could it be..."
Then, at the fork ahead, the fork on the left, footsteps came! It's just that the footsteps were slow, so at first, only Che Zhibin heard them.
"Go back." Che Zhibin started to back away while speaking. Listen to the footsteps, it's very close!
Zhao Wulie turned his head the moment he heard footsteps, and Cha Zhibin also turned around and ran away immediately.
Then, the footsteps sounded from behind!
Cha Zhibin accelerated the speed even further! Run towards the fork in the intersection ahead!
Definitely seen!
"We separate!"
He ran to Zhao Wulie's side and said something briefly like this, but his speed surpassed Zhao Wulie's.
In the case of being seen, the only way to survive is to run separately! After the corridor was extended, this became the only lifeline!
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, Cha Zhibin and Zhao Wuyeol tried their best to escape but could barely avoid being caught up!
Then, at the intersection, Cha Zhibin fled towards the left road! And Zhao Wulie chose the right path!
Not long after, Zhao Wulie was running, when he heard footsteps coming from behind! His luck is bad after all, the target of the ghost is chasing him!
And the fork ahead is still a long way away!
Zhao Wulie was scared out of his wits and began to despair, but at this moment, the footsteps behind him stopped suddenly.
He was puzzled for a moment, and looked back. But I saw that there was a dark green dress on the ground.
"This is..." Zhao Wulie was very suspicious for a moment, but he didn't dare to stop, and continued to speed up and flee forward. Who knows, could this be some kind of trick
When Zhao Wulie finally came to the fork and chose a fork to enter, another second passed, and the time limit was up.
The dark green clothes became bulging again, and then, hands and feet protruded from the clothes again!
And this scene was clearly seen by Che Zhibin in the corridor behind!
How is this going? He turned around just now and saw with his own eyes that the ghost's body suddenly retracted into his clothes! He ran to the opposite fork and sneaked his head out to have a look. And then, I saw this scene!
Naturally, he immediately continued to bend into the side road and gallop, not daring to stop for a moment. And what does the strange phenomenon of the ghost's body retracting into the clothes mean
Che Zhibin kept calculating in his mind, he was thinking, could this be a life door in the maze
But now is not the time to think about that. The ghost just now must have seen his escape path, don't hurry up and enter the new fork, once the ghost chases after him, it will be troublesome!
After finally passing through several fork roads, he got rid of the ghost in dark green clothes and entered another new fork road corridor.
He began to think... Could it be that the phenomenon just now was caused by some restrictions on the ghost, which caused the body to be sealed inside the clothes
If yes, what is the reason
Is it the hallway itself? Or what did Zhao Wulie do? Or is it related to the terrain distribution of the maze
He calculated that it took about ten seconds for the ghost to be sealed in. And when the ghost's head was fully stretched out and raised, Zhao Wulie had already fled into a new fork. As a result, the ghost did not see which fork he fled into.
If you can take advantage of this, your chances of survival will be greatly improved!
Could it be... something to do with the intersection
wrong. Che Zhibin thought that the ghosts still chased them after passing through several intersection-shaped forks before. Not for this reason. The corridor that Zhao Wulie escaped into is not too special. Length, width, all the same...
So, what exactly
What was the reason that caused that ghost to be sealed up
Cha Zhibin constantly calculated all the clues and information obtained, quickly filtered them in his brain, and constantly imagined and considered every possibility.
However, no matter what he thought, he couldn't figure out why that ghost was sealed up.
Difficulty is just a random situation? Can't grasp it at all
If so, it would be miserable.
While Che Zhibin was thinking this way, suddenly he heard a voice from the front: "Che...Mr. Che?"
He raised his head to look, and the one standing opposite turned out to be Liancheng!
The two actually met in this huge maze!
"Great!" Liancheng ran over immediately after seeing Cha Zhibin, and said, "Mr. Che, it's great to find you! Huh? Where's Zhao Wulie? Could it be that he..."
"He's fine." Seeing that Liancheng was also relieved, Che Zhibin said, "Just now, I got separated from him... but you also got separated from Liu Xiashan? Or is it Liu Xiashan..."
"Mr. Che!" Liancheng immediately said: "I want to tell you something. Liu Xiashan is dead. Just now I was chased by two ghosts, and when I fled into a corridor, the two ghosts' bodies were sealed inside the clothes. , it took fifteen seconds to reappear from the clothes..."
"What?" After hearing this, Che Zhibin's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly asked, "Be clear! What happened at that time? Tell me in detail, and you can't let go of any details!"
Liancheng immediately said, "At that time, I..."
However, as soon as he uttered the word "I", he couldn't continue.
Because... he saw an evil ghost in dark green clothes with a head as big as a bucket walking out at the fork in the corridor behind!
