Chapter 188 Twelve Minutes
"Luo Ju, how did I do?" Fatty Qian's lips were trembling as he spoke. It could be seen that he was in a state of excitement, one that was both scary and a little bit... Want to express myself.
“Not bad!” Luo Xi commented seriously.
Fatty Qian smiled.
To be honest, the door-to-door knocking on the first floor was so exciting. At that time, he was completely convinced that he would die and planned to give it a try, otherwise he would die.
I didn’t expect to survive.
Moreover, it achieved its goal.
He even felt a sense of relief under the extreme stimulation and fear.
“Then on the second floor, continue knocking?” Fatty Qian looked expectant.
Luo Xi looked around at this time. At the same time, he and Fatty Qian both heard the sudden exclamations and screams from downstairs, as well as the terrifying laughter of the bird-faced old lady. .
"It's bad. Could it be that Brother Mao and Liang Qiu were discovered?" Fatty Qian's expression changed.
Luo Xi listened for a while and shook his head: "No, it's someone else."
On the first floor at the moment.
Zhao Sen and others are experiencing an unimaginable horror.
They entered the scene a little late, so they didn't hear the time switch announcement, but they were lucky at first. They also didn't encounter any children or ghosts playing hide-and-seek, so they walked smoothly for a while.
Then, I was lucky enough to bump into the bird-faced old lady who was angry because something had been stolen.
Now, the bird-faced old lady has a punching bag.
When I came up, I used scissors to peel off a piece of skin from a memory collector.
The technique was so fast that the person who picked up the memories didn’t even react, and there was a cool feeling on his thighs.
Severe pain followed.
Unimaginable pain.
A large piece of the pants on his thighs, including the skin, was peeled off.
And this is just the beginning of the killing.
Zhao Sen and others also reacted immediately and started to fight back.
Of course, cards are used.
Some can increase strength and speed, others can use weapons and props with special abilities, and there is even one that directly summons a 'creature' to enter.
That was a murderer wearing a mask.
You need to pay [gold coins] and [food] to summon two cards.
As a result, the neck of this creature with high hopes was cut off by the bird-faced old lady almost as soon as they met, and blood spurted out.
At this moment, Zhao Sen and others also realized that this bird-faced old lady was not something they could handle.
"Run, run quickly!"
"This old woman is too terrifying and invincible!"
"Go over there, the passage to Area B, go to Area B."
After two people died, the remaining people started running towards that direction. As for going upstairs, they couldn't go up. The only entrance to the corridor was blocked by a bird-faced old lady. There was an elevator, but at this time, who Dare to sit down?
“Give me the skin, give me the skin!”
The bird-faced old lady obviously wouldn't let these people go so easily.
When they run away, she chases them.
And it’s very fast.
A memory collector over there saw this and took out three cards.
“【Exorcism】!”
[Mana] activates [Exorcism].
A sudden burst of light shot out.
Like a flashing light bulb that was suddenly turned on, shining brightly, the bird-faced old lady screamed and immediately retreated to hide.
With the power released by this card, Zhao Sen and others finally fled to the passage in Area B in embarrassment.
Second floor.
Luo Xi just heard the footsteps and shouts going away and guessed the general situation.
“Fat man.”
“Luo Ju, I’m here!”
“During the insurance period, you can change your identity now.” Luo Xi pointed to a corner of the second floor. The big tank is placed: "There is a ghost hiding over there. You go over there and open the lid, tell it you found it, and let it go find someone else. Then, you find a place to hide, and then come out after hearing the daytime broadcast." ."
"Okay." Fatty Qian did not hesitate.
He may not necessarily listen to what others say, but Luo Xi said that he will definitely listen and will never ask why.
So Fatty Qian walked over and opened the lid.
There really is a kid ghost hiding inside who is all wet and wet.
A stench came to my face.
Enduring the stench, Fatty Qian said: "Ha, ha, ha, I found you. This time you will find someone else."
"Great!" The kid was very excited. Although his expression couldn't be seen from his big face, he could hear it from his voice.
I guess it has been hidden in this water tank for a long time.
Actually, from the smell and some residual children's handprints on the water tank, we can tell that there is a kid hiding here. As for why no one has found it before, it is obviously because of this revised scene. Today is the first time open.
The child ghost happily went to find someone.
It saw Luo Xi but ignored it.
Because Luo Xi's current identity is the 'person-finder', which is the same as him.
Fatty Qian changed his identity and hid it again.
Luo Xi calculated the time.
“The only scene with the earth element attribute that I have experienced before is Youzuo Temple. The scene with this attribute seems to have a characteristic, which will fit in with some traditional religious culture as the tone of the scene. In addition, the ghosts here seem to There are also some that match the descriptions of ghosts and monsters in "Tao Zang"
Luo Xi is also very curious about the knowledge he has.
This knowledge is like a kind of memory that can be recalled at any time.
But has he really watched "Tao Zang" himself? Can't remember.
Maybe, not!
"Day and night, if not based on actual time, must have some basis, and it is definitely not randomly designed. Scenes with earth element attributes do not have chaos attributes. According to my understanding, only Chaos attributes are only randomly designed. There are all possibilities, but Diyuan does not."
“Therefore, hours, day and night, must have rules, and may be divided according to twelve hours. If time is shortened and one minute is regarded as an hour, then the possible conversion time interval between day and night is twelve minutes; If according to the saying of 'nine is the ultimate', it cannot exceed nine, that is, nine minutes rotate day and night."
Luo Xi thought of two possibilities at this moment.
Eight minutes have passed since the night broadcast just now.
That’s why he asked Fatty Qian to change his identity and hide him first.
Of course, he himself had to seize the time to change his identity.
Playing hide and seek is essentially about understanding the environment and observing details.
Before letting Fatty Qian knock on the door, in addition to checking whether there were ghosts in every house, he also had to make sure there were no ghosts hiding in the house.
At present, there should be no.
Even if there are, they are very few.
Luo Xi has actually locked down several hiding spots. It can be said that there is a high possibility of imps hiding there.
To switch between the 'seeker' and the 'hider', of course you have to find a child ghost, especially when it is close to 'daytime'. If you find someone of your own to change your identity, it is easy to trick the other party to death.
Going to an old wardrobe in the corridor, Luo Xi opened the door and took a look.
There were some shabby clothes inside, but it was obvious that there was no one hiding there.
But Luo Xi could smell a rotten smell. In addition, he also found light fingerprints on the cabinet door.
It's like some kind of specially set clue, suggesting that there is a child ghost hiding here.
But there is no one in the cabinet. There is a drawer underneath.
More than two feet wide and one bundle high.
Luo Xi opened the drawer. Inside was a twisted and squeezed body, like some kind of bone shrinking technique, or a person whose limbs were forcibly broken and stuffed into such a small drawer. .
The most important thing is that the people inside seemed to notice something at this time. They actually turned their heads, exposed their faces, and glanced at Luo Xi.
“I found you, let’s find someone else for you!”
Luo Xi took the time to change her identity.
The time will soon exceed nine minutes.
Ten seconds left.
Luo Xi silently counted the time and waited for ten seconds to pass. It exceeded nine minutes, but he did not hear the announcement of the change between day and night.
"Then, it's not nine minutes. In this case, there is a great possibility that it will be a twelve-minute rotation, then twelve minutes of daytime, twelve minutes of night, one white and one dark is one day, seven days in total. One hundred and sixty-eight minutes, which is less than three hours.”
At this time, Luo Xi discovered that the child ghost in the drawer did not come out, but was just looking at him.
One person and one ghost look at each other.
"Is it impossible to get out? Because the limbs and spine are broken?" Luo Xi made a guess.
He could have just left.
I have changed my identity. For now, I don’t have to worry about being killed by the rules during the white night rotation because of my identity as a ‘person seeker’.
But Luo Xi didn't leave. He thought for a while, stretched out his hand and pulled out the child ghost inside.
This process is quite scary.
First of all, the body of the child ghost is very rotten and has fractures, so the feeling of pulling it up is definitely quite terrifying, especially when the other person's hunched head is still staring at you.
The eyes are fierce.
"In your situation, you can't even crawl, let alone walk. How can you continue to play?" Luo Xi asked.
Unexpectedly, the kid ghost actually responded.
"I don't want to play, they forced me to play, and they forced me in." It turned out that the hatred in the child's ghostly eyes was true, but it was not towards Luo Xi.
"Then let me take you home. Where do you live?" Luo Xi said. If the kid hadn't lied, he would be really pitiful.
Although, Luo Xi has no sympathy at all.
"Really? Then please send me to the small dining table on the third floor, where we all live." The child's bones and muscles were broken, so he shrugged his head and moved it here and there again. there.
The 'we' it mentioned, Luo Xi understood, were those children and ghosts playing hide-and-seek.
"Okay, I'll take you back!"
Luo Xi did not refuse. Triggering the plot in the scene was a necessary means.
Of course, opportunities and dangers coexist at any time.
“But wait a moment.”
Luo Xi counted the time.
He also needs to verify the time rules of day and night in this ghost building.
This is important.
Just twelve minutes have passed.
Sure enough, the bell rang again, followed by the announcement.
"Please note that the night ends and enters the day!"
"Please note that the night ends and enters the day!"
"Please note that the night ends and enters the day!"
The same is broadcast three times in a row.
Basically, it can be heard in any area of the entire Menggui Building.
Luo Xi knew that at least he had mastered the rules of day and night transition here.
"Then you...uh."
Luo Xi went to see another child ghost.
But found that the other party was missing.
Disappear into thin air?
