Everyone stared at Uncle Wang's slightly hunched back and his dark head.
Nothing in front of me has changed.
Except it was getting dark.
Lin Yun stopped the car and took out his cell phone, but found that there was no signal. Tang Ning and the others also took out their cell phones, but there was no signal either.
It's one thing to have a poor signal in the mountains, but it's another to have no signal when encountering this kind of thing.
"If I'm not mistaken, this situation is a ghost wall." Lin Yun took a deep breath, "There are only two outcomes of the ghost wall. One is that we break out, and the other is death from exhaustion."
Tangning looked at Lin Yun nervously, "How can we break this situation?"
"The hemp rope is tied to the dead person's feet to prevent the dead person from walking around. If we can tie the hemp rope on its feet again, it may not walk around again." Lin Yun said in a deep voice.
"But it's difficult." Ji Ke looked at Uncle Wang's back, "Maybe when we touch the hemp rope, it's not its feet that are tied, but our necks."
Lin Yun did not deny it. He whispered, "There is another way. I heard that the ghost wall affects vision. Sometimes you can get out with your eyes closed. But closing your eyes means we need to abandon the car."
Ji Ke frowned: "Without an electric tricycle, it would take more than an hour to get to Jijia Village. It would take two or three hours to walk, and it would be completely dark by then."
Darkness in the dungeon means double the danger.
"But if we don't abandon the car, we may never get out." Lin Yun said this cruel thing.
Abandoning the car and walking may give you a chance to leave the haunted wall, but it is only a chance, not an absolute.
The sound of rustling footsteps was heard in the silence. Tang Ning looked up suddenly and found that Uncle Wang, who had been walking forward, actually started walking backwards!
The back of its head was still facing them, its heels were still facing them, but its back seemed to have eyes, and it was approaching them rapidly, ignoring the rugged terrain!
"Look!" Tang Ning's voice almost screamed. Seeing a person walking backwards and so briskly on a dim mountain road would be weird even if the person was a normal person!
Lin Yun and Ji Ke raised their heads at the same time, staring at Uncle Wang's strange figure, a chill running up their spines.
"Okay, abandon the car." Ji Ke said coldly.
The two men got out of the car immediately after making the decision. Tang Ning had no choice but to get out as well. On the first day of entering the dungeon, Tang Ning felt the nightmare difficulty of the B-level dungeon with despair.
Ji Ke's system provided a map, so Ji Ke walked in the front, Tang Ning stood in the middle, which was the safest position, and Lin Yun stood at the end.
Uncle Wang was walking backwards faster and faster, and the distance between them was shortening at a speed visible to the naked eye!
"No matter what happens next, don't open your eyes, don't look back, and it's best not to speak!"
Lin Yun put her hand on Tang Ning's shoulder, and Tang Ning quickly put his hand on Ji Ke's shoulder. He closed his eyes. No one spoke, and only the rustling sound of footsteps could be heard around.
The ghost is coming.
A cold wind blew to Tang Ning's side. Tang Ning, who was already covered in cold sweat, felt like he was trapped in an icy cave. He held Ji Ke's shoulders tightly. Every time Ji Ke took a step, Tang Ning followed. Lin Yun behind him also followed.
Then, Tang Ning heard the footsteps of a fourth person.
That thing is following them!!!
The scene at this moment reminded Tang Ning of the experience in the first copy where he was tricked by the "system" into jumping off the stairs. At that time, the "system" asked him if he knew how to drive corpses. Tang Ning thought, he was not driving corpses now, he was being driven by the corpses.
He didn't even have the autonomy to decide his own direction of walking, and could only place all his hopes on Ji Ke.
step.
Two steps.
Have you ever tried to walk in a completely unfamiliar place with your eyes closed? Even if you put your hand on another person's shoulder, you still can't find your sense of direction.
The bumpy ground sometimes sinks into a small pit, and when you step into it you might even feel as if something is grabbing your ankle. Sometimes it bulges out to block your way forward, as if there is a skull piled at your feet.
What should Ji Ke do if he didn’t know when he turned into a ghost
Because he was standing behind Ji Ke with his eyes closed, he naturally couldn't see that Ji Ke didn't have a face! Only the back of his head!
Horrifying thoughts popped up in Tang Ning's mind, and infinite panic spread in the darkness. The defenseless Tang Ning was suddenly tripped by a bump on the ground. Caught off guard, Tang Ning fell out, and his hand slipped from Ji Ke's shoulder. He fell too fast, and Lin Yun's hand also left his shoulder.
As she fell to the ground helplessly, Tangning's mind buzzed and only one word popped into her mind -
Oops.
He didn't care that his knees and arms might be bleeding, and quickly reached out to feel around on the ground. The ground was covered with rough sand and gravel, which cut Tang Ning's fingertips.
Tang Ning desperately used his hands to search for Ji Ke in front of him. Fortunately, Ji Ke was not far away from him. The next second, Tang Ning touched Ji Ke's feet!
Tang Ning was extremely excited!
So much so that he didn't react immediately, and the touch on his palm felt a little strange.
A rough, thin and long strip.
Tang Ning's hands trembled. He knew what it was. It was the hemp rope tied to Uncle Wang's feet!
At that moment, Tang Ning was frightened to the point of opening his eyes. He saw a pair of feet tied with hemp ropes appear in front of him, with the toes facing him. He slowly raised his head and saw a dark head hanging down and "looking" at him.
Woodcutter Card Setting 1: You have one chance to face the Golden Axe, Silver Axe and Iron Axe
Perhaps it was because she was frightened for a moment, or perhaps the Woodcutter Card had taken effect, the words Lin Yun had said clearly emerged in Tangning's mind -
"The hemp rope is tied to the feet of the dead to prevent them from roaming around."
His fingers were pinching the bloodstained hemp rope.
"If we can just re-tie the twine around its feet."
Tangning quickly wrapped the hemp rope around the other empty ankle with shaking hands. The creature seemed to realize what was about to happen, and its neck turned 180 degrees! A bluish-white, hideous face appeared on its neck!
The mouth on the ghost's face was extremely large, with the corners of its lips stretched to its ears. Its pointed teeth were like two rows of sharp saw teeth. With a gust of fishy wind, it opened its mouth and pounced towards Tang Ning's head.
"Maybe it won't wander around anymore."
The knot was tied at the moment the ghost face rushed to the tip of his nose. Ji Ke kicked the ghost head that was so close to him away. Uncle Wang, whose legs were tied up again with hemp rope, fell to the ground in an instant, and his stiff body stirred up a cloud of dust.
"You new guy—" Ji Ke gave Tangning a thumbs up, "Not bad!"
At first he thought that this was just a stupid beauty who was lucky enough to get an important ID card, but he didn't expect that she could react so correctly and quickly in such a dire situation.
Some elderly people don’t even have this hand speed.
Ji Ke praised someone seldom, but he saw the newlywed who was sitting on the ground stupidly suddenly burst into tears. The tears, like broken jade beads, stuck to his eyelashes and fell from his pale jaw. The other person raised his face as if looking at him, but upon closer inspection, the moist gaze was actually fixed on his thumb.
Then Ji Ke saw the newcomer stretching out his scarred hands. Those hands could really be described as being as hard as peeling onion roots. The slightest friction from sand and stone would leave marks on them. There were gray dust and red blood beads, which made people want to take the softest cloth in the world and wipe them carefully.
The other person covered his mouth with his hands and showed a slightly silly smile, with crystal tears flashing in the corners of his eyes, and there seemed to be stars in his eyes when he smiled.
"Hurry up!" Lin Yun grabbed Tang Ning who was still laughing foolishly. Tang Ning's body was very light and he was lifted up from the ground in an instant. Lin Yun ran very fast. Tang Ning subconsciously looked back and found that Uncle Wang, whose feet were tied, had actually stood up. He jumped straight towards them like a zombie!
Tang Ning's soul was almost scared to death!
If Lin Yun hadn't pulled him just now, he would probably have been caught up by this thing now!
"Ji Ke! Lead the way! Now the ghost wall has been broken!" Lin Yun shouted to Ji Ke.
They didn't know how long they had been trapped in a maze. The sky had already darkened when they broke out. Ji Ke ran very fast, as if he was sprinting 100 meters. Lin Yun's speed was no slower than Ji Ke's. Tang Ning was completely dumbfounded. He couldn't keep up with Lin Yun's speed at all. He couldn't even suck his fingers to activate the Sucking Joy card while running because Lin Yun ran too fast and pulled Tang Ning so fast that he didn't know where to put his hands.
His chest exhaled like a broken bellows, and every time he ran his chest ached as if it was being torn apart.
There were tall trees all around, so Lin Yun turned on the flashlight on his phone and shone it continuously, otherwise they would easily fall down because they couldn't see the road clearly while running so fast.
Tang Ning was so tired that his eyes went dark. The constantly swaying bluish-white beam of light illuminated a winding path, surrounded by strangely shaped dead trees. At first glance, it looked like strange dry limbs grew on the trees.
The Dong Dong Dong that was chasing him behind slowed down. Lin Yun slowed down his pace and turned back. Tang Ning also twisted his head which was almost deprived of oxygen, and saw Uncle Wang's head, which was jumping high, emerging from the criss-crossing branches, as if a human head fruit had grown on the tree.
Tang Ning was so frightened by this bizarre scene that her heart almost jumped out of her throat!
The trees in this forest were too dense, and the branches were intertwined, as if forming a net. Uncle Wang's jumping method was not suitable for moving around here, and his speed gradually slowed down.
Finally, Uncle Wang stopped completely. He stood in the tall and thin woods, and his upright figure seemed to have turned into a lonely tree in this strange forest.
Are you okay
Tang Ning stood there dumbly, gasping for breath. He was so out of breath that he wanted to squat down and retch. However, his experience in running tests taught him that he must not sit down after strenuous exercise, otherwise he would definitely not be able to get up within a short period of time.
Tang Ning brought his limp hand to his mouth with great effort, and even sucking his fingers took up almost all of his remaining strength.
A faint warm current spread through his body, like injecting a little water into a dry sponge. Tang Ning's strong dizziness and nausea subsided slightly. He turned back and wanted to ask Lin Yun what to do now.
But Lin Yun suddenly turned off the flashlight on her phone and covered Tang Ning's mouth and nose tightly.
The forest was once again plunged into pitch-black darkness. However, when Tang Ning looked up into the distance, he saw a dark figure.
Saw a faint red light.
The red light was swaying in the distance, like a pair of strange scarlet eyes looking around. A vague and ethereal sound came intermittently, as if responding to some strange rhythm.
As the distance shortened, Tangning opened his eyes wide in disbelief.
He saw a red sedan chair with two red lanterns emitting a faint light hanging in front of it.
A strange green mist filled the air. Tang Ning could vaguely see the sedan bearers jumping high in the mist, just like Uncle Wang. The gorgeous red sedan also floated up as if it was nothing. In the blink of an eye, the sedan floated steadily towards Tang Ning, accompanied by a vague and strange singing voice. The shrill and thin singing voice sang:
"Bring the bride into the house ~ Blessings, wealth, longevity and happiness will all come into the house ~"
The cold wind blew through the dead woods. The branches swayed slightly. The gloomy green smoke faded. The sound of sobbing wind came from all directions, as if countless people were hiding in the woods and crying sadly.
The faint light from the red lanterns illuminated the faces of the sedan bearers. Their faces were very flat, with pale skin that was almost bluish, and two bright red blushes on their cheeks. They had stiff smiles on their faces.
Isn't this a paper man? !
Paper figures, moving paper figures, lifelike paper figures!
Tang Ning was terrified by what he saw. He had heard that eyes should not be drawn on paper figures. If eyes were drawn on paper figures, the paper figures would be endowed with spiritual energy and could easily be possessed by ghosts!
And all the paper figures in front of me have eyes painted on them!
The wind gently blew up the curtain of the sedan chair, and Tang Ning saw a bride wearing a red veil sitting in the sedan chair. The bride's skin was as white as snow and as white as a piece of paper. There seemed to be something sitting next to her, squeezing the bride tightly against the sedan chair.
"The bride is brought into the hall, and the hall is filled with gold, silver and treasures—"
The paper sedan bearers took out a pile of paper money from their bulging pockets, and the flying paper money scattered in the forest like fallen leaves.
A piece of paper money was blown by the wind and flew straight to Tang Ning's face, making a snapping sound.
A light male voice came from the sedan: "Stop."
Tang Ning stood there motionless and stiff, an indescribable sense of crisis sweeping over him.
I saw a pale hand slowly lifting the curtain. The bony hand emitted a faint glow, but the nails were as black as ink.
From the window of the sedan, one could vaguely see the swaying crown with twelve tassels and the handsome silhouette behind the tassels. The upturned lips uttered the lingering words: "You are my perfect match, and we will be together for a hundred years—"
A slender and powerful hand suddenly grabbed the bride's slender arm. With a click, the snow-white arm broke into two pieces, revealing the bamboo strips inside!
This is a paper bride!
"How could it be you?"
The crying paper bride was thrown out of the sedan roughly, and the person in the sedan gently said, "Find him for me."
Upon hearing this, the paper people all opened their round eyes and looked around, as if they were desperately looking for something.
