"I should have thought of it earlier! How could it be possible to get rid of the other party so easily!" Jiang Cheng yelled with self-blame, forcing himself to calm down and carefully observe the surrounding situation.
The barking of the dog is getting closer and clearer. This chaotic cry exuded a crazy desire to attack, and Jiang Cheng could almost envision the horrific scene of himself being torn apart by wild dogs.
"Calm down! You must calm down!" Jiang Cheng repeated these words like a self-hypnosis. His eyes couldn't help but see the three people following him closely, and he gradually regained his courage.
Regardless of whether they heard it or not, Jiang Cheng still said firmly: "I will definitely take you to a safe place, I promise!"
I don't know if it was a response to him, but Jiang Cheng seemed to see the dull eyes of the three people brighten a little in a daze.
At this time, it was not just the barking of dogs, Jiang Cheng could already see black shadows coming from all directions, and they would pounce on them in less than two minutes. Jiang Cheng looked around nervously and finally discovered that there was an alley across the street. If you didn't look carefully, no one would notice it in such a dim environment.
Now, apart from this alley, wild dogs were found in other places. Jiang Cheng became concerned and rushed towards the other side of the street with everyone. Jiang Cheng didn't know what the situation was in the alley. Although no wild dogs were seen running out of it, it didn't mean it was safe inside. There might be a mad dog lurking in the darkness inside, waiting for them to fall into a trap, or there might be a dead end inside, and they will be completely surrounded.
Jiang Cheng also has his own considerations. After all, the alley is narrow, and even if there are many mad dogs in it, he should be able to handle it. Even if it is a dead end, surrounded by wild dogs, and the alley is narrow, it should be able to hold up for a while. After all, there is no other way out here. The alley is not the best choice, but the choice without choice.
Finally, just as the mad dogs formed a siege, all four people in Jiangcheng finally entered the alley.
However, the worst-case scenario he expected did not happen. There were no wild dogs lurking inside, and it was not a dead end. Even after entering the alley, the barking of the mad dogs behind them actually became quieter, as if the mad dogs had lost their target and moved to other places.
Logically speaking, they should be safe. However, the moment everyone stepped into the alley, Jiang Cheng became alert to the danger again.
"Why is there such a way to survive? Could it be that Lu Fuyuan didn't notice it?" Jiang Cheng had time to think calmly at this time and said to himself, "Could it be that he deliberately let us enter the alley? This was also part of his plan. a part of?"
Although he had doubts in his heart, Jiang Cheng didn't think staying here was a good choice, so he could only lead the three of them forward step by step.
Although the alley is narrow, it is very quiet. I walked a long way without encountering danger. Even Jiang Cheng couldn't feel the invisible oppression brought by nightmare consciousness. Even so, Jiang Cheng still didn't feel relieved. Instead, his heart beat faster and faster.
"No! It feels very wrong!" Jiang Chengping's heart beat down, trying to calm down, trying to use the ability of the descendants of real people to sense potential dangers. Just like in the orphanage, the numbing cold feeling became more and more intense. He now knew that it was the strong malice coming from the messenger of the ancient god.
Jiang Cheng continued walking, still muttering to himself, "Malicious! Yes, Lu Fuyuan must be planning something! But, why is nothing happening?"
Unknowingly, Jiang Cheng walked a long way in the alley, and the exit of the alley ahead was still so far away. When Jiang Cheng focused on the road, he finally realized the problem.
"It's already happened! It's right here!" Jiang Cheng shouted.
Yes, they haven't come out of the alley yet, and that's the problem. Jiang Cheng finally realized that they were trapped in an alley.
At the same time he discovered the problem, Jiang Cheng noticed that the measuring ruler in his hand was spinning rapidly, as if it was an alarm.
"Why did I only notice it now!" Jiang Cheng cursed in a low voice, "Does this damn ancient god's messenger still have the ability to deceive my attention!"
Jiang Cheng's guess was correct. When they entered the alley, they fell into Lu Fuyuan's trap. Although thinking ability is not affected, attention is limited. And limiting attention is only part of the trap in this alley.
Jiang Cheng stared closely at the spinning ruler in his hand, looked at the exit and entrance of the alley, and said, "Does the reaction of the ruler mean that there is no way out?"
Recalling the long and dead-end walk just now, Jiang Cheng realized that he had encountered a "ghost beating the wall"!
"It turned out to be a ghost beating the wall! Even the ruler cannot point out the way out! What should I do?" Jiang Cheng naturally looked at Xu Dingjia.
The latter looked at Jiang Cheng with dull eyes, his face paler than before. Although he had the same sleepwalking expression, Jiang Cheng found that Xu Dingjia still looked much weaker than Li Feng and Chu Xueying.
Jiang Cheng slowly stretched out his hand, trying to wake Xu Dingjia up, but stopped halfway. He saw that the whites of Xu Dingjia's eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes and the corners of his eyes were red, as if blood would bleed at any time.
"No! I have to rely on myself!" Jiang Cheng gritted his teeth, retracted his trembling hands, and thought seriously.
The experience in the orphanage told him that the "ghost beating the wall" in front of him must not be the legendary supernatural phenomenon, but Lu Fuyuan's method as the messenger of the ancient gods. Jiang Cheng tried hard to recall everything that happened in the orphanage, hoping that the experience would be helpful to him. After seeing Xu Dingjia's appearance, he had made up his mind not to let the other party overtax his body, so he could only get through the difficulties at hand by relying on himself.
"Space! Yes, Lu Fuyuan must have distorted space! But, can he do it in the outside world?" Jiang Cheng kept talking to himself, as if he was a madman.
In the distant street, a tall figure fell to his knees at some point, breathing heavily.
"Last attempt to capture!" He said mechanically, as if he was talking to someone or to himself. His voice was hoarse and dull, and he was tired, as if he would die of exhaustion at any moment.
He glanced at his watch, which read eleven fifty-five.
"Time is running out, we must do it before the fog arrives!" Lu Fuyuan said in a deep voice, trying to stand up with support. When he was about to stand upright, he suddenly fell to the ground again.
