Who has no shadow
The answer is self-evident.
Tang Ning took a step back. He almost forgot that there was a staircase behind him. Fortunately, he grabbed the handrail and did not roll down the stairs.
Lu Yingxing still had that strange smile on his face as he walked towards Tang Ning. The sound of his footsteps filled the quiet corridor. They were so light that they didn't sound like the footsteps of an adult man. Instead, they made people think of something walking on tiptoes.
Tang Ning was still very timid, but perhaps it was because he had been frightened three times in a row on the first day. Although he was now scared to the point of fainting, he was much stronger than the first day. At least even if his hands and feet were weak, he still had the strength to escape.
The beam of the flashlight was swaying in the corridor. Tang Ning mobilized all his strength and ran downstairs. He ran so fast that he had never run so fast down the stairs in his life. However, the light footsteps kept following behind him, like a shadow that could not be shaken off.
He ran down one flight of stairs in one breath, and the footsteps behind him suddenly disappeared. Tang Ning turned around in confusion, but there was no one behind him.
Tang Ning turned around and shone the flashlight forward. A tall figure suddenly appeared at the stairs not far away!
Under the pale light, Lu Yingxing stood at the entrance of the corridor, staring at him with a strange smile on his face.
How is that possible
How is that possible? !
Wasn't that footsteps always behind him?! When did they run past him?!
At this time, Tang Ning saw the number at the entrance of the corridor in front of him. It was a bloody "4" painted in red.
No, he just ran down from the fourth floor, so this should be the third floor!
Tang Ning didn't have time to think, as Lu Yingxing, who was standing at the entrance of the corridor, walked towards him again. Tang Ning had no choice but to run downstairs again. The entire narrow and dark corridor was filled with the sound of his hurried footsteps and the slight, unhurried sound.
Soon he ran to the next floor. The footsteps behind him disappeared suddenly, but the tall figure appeared in front of him. When he raised his eyes, he still saw the bloody "4".
Confused
This word popped up in Tangning's mind.
If he continued running like this, his strength would be exhausted and he would eventually be caught up by the light footsteps.
A burst of giggles came from the darkness. Without opening his mouth, Lu Yingxing walked towards Tang Ning step by step.
Talisman paper.
The system suddenly spoke.
Yes! Talisman paper! Lu Yingxing gave him a large stack of talisman paper before!
Tang Ning took out a piece of yellow talisman paper from his pocket, and the system's cold command sounded in his mind: Stick it between his eyebrows.
Tang Ning's hands were shaking violently as he pinched a piece of talisman paper between his two fingers. His dark eyes were filled with fear as he looked at Lu Yingxing who was gradually approaching.
Don’t shake your hands!
The male voice scolded.
Tangning was so frightened that her arms froze and she barely managed to stop shaking.
Hold your breath!
Tangning held her breath obediently. In fact, she didn't need to hold her breath. Seeing the face getting closer and closer, Tangning was almost unable to breathe.
At this moment, Lu Yingxing was only about 20 centimeters away from him. If he took another step forward, he would be face to face with him. Tang Ning's mind went blank. He heard a cold male voice shouting: Now, stick to it!
The hand holding the talisman paper suddenly stretched out, and through a piece of yellow talisman, the snow-white fingertips trembled and stopped at the center of Lu Yingxing's eyebrows.
The strange smile on Lu Yingxing's face disappeared at this moment. He closed his eyes, as if he was asleep, but his body stood straight in front of Tang Ning.
System, did I succeed
Tang Ning didn't dare to withdraw his hand. He was afraid that the talisman paper would fall if he let go.
Have you heard of the corpse chaser
The system asked coldly.
Tang Ning had heard of the corpse-driving people in western Hunan. It seemed like they were driving corpses back home. He had always been timid and didn't dare to learn more about this kind of thing, so he only had a vague understanding of it.
Put Lu Yingxing's hands on your shoulders.
The system calls the shots.
Tang Ning was terribly afraid of Lu Yingxing, but he knew that listening to the system was the only way out, so Tang Ning released his hand that was pressing on the talisman paper, and the yellow talisman was firmly fixed on Lu Yingxing's brow, as if it was glued on.
Tang Ning carefully held Lu Yingxing's hand. It was icy cold, not the temperature of a living person. He slowly lifted Lu Yingxing's stiff arms and placed his palms on his shoulders.
The cold air seemed to be transmitted from Lu Yingxing's body, and Tang Ning felt so cold that her body shivered slightly.
Turn around and face away from Lu Yingxing. When you have completed the back-facing posture, let Lu Yingxing's hand fall on your shoulder.
This action was a bit difficult to complete. Tang Ning raised Lu Yingxing's hand above his head. His fingertips carefully supported Lu Yingxing's wrist. He slowly turned around, and at the moment he turned around, he placed Lu Yingxing's hand on his shoulder.
The moment those cold hands fell together, it seemed as if something was riding on Tang Ning's shoulders.
Close your eyes.
Tang Ning didn't dare to think too much and immediately closed his eyes.
No matter what happens next, you must not open your eyes, you must do whatever I say!
The system's voice was unusually serious: "One more thing, do not slap Lu Yingxing's hand away. During this period, you must ensure that Lu Yingxing's hand is always on your shoulder! Do you understand? !"
Um!
Tang Ning memorized every word of the system. He wished he could engrave these words in his mind as if they were golden advice.
Okay, jump one step to the left.
Jump
Tang Ning swallowed his saliva. He was so nervous that he couldn't even tell left from right for a moment. The fingertips of his left hand moved. Tang Ning closed his eyes and mustered up the courage to jump to the left.
In the silent darkness, he heard the sound of his own footsteps landing, and at the same time, there was a dull "bang".
It was a very strange sound, like a child hitting a ball behind you.
"Jump down ten steps. Don't jump too far. Each jump should be about ten centimeters."
Tang Ning closed his eyes and started jumping down. He could feel himself jumping up and down the stairs. Jumping up and down the stairs was an easy thing to do. When he was in primary school, Tang Ning would jump down the stairs with his friends.
But when he closed his eyes and jumped up the stairs for the first time, he felt unprecedented terror because he could not see anything. In the darkness he felt like he was standing on the edge of a cliff. He felt dizzy, his legs were weak, and his heart was beating wildly.
Bang, bang, bang.
That was the sound of his heartbeat.
Boom, boom, boom.
There was a strange muffled sound behind me.
Boom, boom, boom, the heartbeat and the dull sound mixed together, as if it turned into a heavy hammer hitting Tang Ning's chest, making Tang Ning feel depressed and a little breathless. He heard the sound coming from far away, from top to bottom, as if a ball was bouncing randomly in the narrow corridor.
Boom!!!
The voice suddenly became louder!
A chilly breath blew across Tang Ning's shoulders, as if it was the sound of something breaking wind when it hit Tang Ning!
Tang Ning's scalp tingled and he subconsciously dodged the attack. As he turned sideways, Lu Yingxing's hand on Tang Ning's right shoulder slipped down.
Oh no!
Tang Ning's heart seemed to be about to jump out of his chest. After the hand left his shoulder, he did not feel relieved. On the contrary, the pressure piled up on his left shoulder, so heavy that the bone in his left shoulder seemed to be breaking.
Three steps left, keep jumping.
Tang Ning didn't jump immediately.
Because the hanging hand fell on his lower back, either by inertia or intentionally.
The moment the cold, stiff hand pressed against his waist, Tang Ning felt a chill run down his spine. A chill rushed straight up from his tailbone to his head, and his entire body froze.
After standing there stiffly for about a minute, Tang Ning was able to regain control of his body.
He closed his eyes and took a step down.
The cold hand also moved down, like a poisonous snake with malicious intent.
Two more steps to go.
Tang Ning was almost unable to stand. He had no strength left and could fall off the edge of the stairs at any time.
Ten centimeters, each jump is about ten centimeters.
What if the jump distance is wrong? Will he fall directly down the stairs
Jump!
The cold male voice raised its pitch, exploding in Tang Ning's ears like a thunderclap!
Tangning closed his eyes and used all his strength to jump down one more step. The next moment, he almost lost his balance.
Lu Yingxing's entire body fell towards him, and about 70 to 80 kilograms of weight was pressed on Tang Ning. The coldness covered half of Tang Ning's body. Tang Ning almost pushed Lu Yingxing out. Fortunately, before he took action, he still retained the last bit of rationality in his frozen mind.
Never slap Lu Yingxing's hand away!
Tang Ning clenched his teeth. He felt like he was crying. Tears streamed down his face like crazy. No one comforted him. Tang Ning could only desperately tell himself, "It's okay, it's okay. It's just one last step. Just one more jump and it will be fine."
As Tang Ning was thinking this, the cold hand moved from his lower back to his lower abdomen, like a python wrapping around its prey. In the darkness, Lu Yingxing seemed to move from behind Tang Ning to in front of him.
It stood in front of Tang Ning.
Jump.
The system ordered.
At this moment, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang, unusually clear and loud. Along with the sudden ringing, although Tang Ning could not see anything, he seemed to see Lu Yingxing's strange smile in front of his eyes. That cold smile was like seeing prey jumping step by step into a trap that had been set long ago.
Tang Ning's blood seemed to freeze.
Jump quickly!!!
As the phone continued to ring, Tangning began to tremble all over. He suddenly thought of some questions:
Why was the system suddenly so nice to him, so nice that it told him what to do every step of the way
If the talisman paper is really useful, why did Lu Yingxing, who also has talisman paper, get haunted by the ghost baby
At this moment, Tang Ning seemed to have returned to the nightmare he had when he fell asleep in the bathroom. He returned to that door, wondering whether to open it or not, whether to jump or not.
What is true and what is false
He didn't know the answer, but he remembered that in that dream, his cell phone also rang with a message, but he didn't pick it up that time.
Tangning trembled as he reached for the phone in his pocket.
Tangning! What are you doing?! Jump!!!!
The tone of the system became higher and higher, until it was almost breaking!
Tangning still had his eyes closed. It was easy to answer the call. He could do it even with his eyes closed. With trembling hands, he answered the call. A low, gentle, and charming voice came from the other end of the phone:
"Xiao Ning, it's already eleven o'clock at night, why aren't you at home?"
That was Mo Yunchu's voice.
Tangning heard her own cry for help, "Mo Yunchu! Come and take me home!"
