Chapter 457: Blocking
The atmosphere was stagnant for a while, and Weiwei, who was hiding behind the bed, did not dare to express herself.
The lights in the corridor were still on. Jiang Cheng adjusted his posture and glanced sideways at the observation window behind the door.
No shadow was left on the windows that were tightly taped with white paper.
Did the ghost leave?
Jiang Cheng immediately rejected the idea.
It should be that this ghost has no shadow.
But the moment he looked away, he glanced coldly below him from the corner of his eye, and then, his eyes couldn't help but pause.
Because the bed behind the door only blocks the left side of the door, light still shines through the gap under the door.
And this light was obviously blocked by something.
wrong.
This ghost has a shadow!
It just has no head.
After thinking about this, Jiang Cheng immediately lowered his breathing. He realized that the guy outside the door had discovered them.
It has been standing outside the door for far more than 10 seconds.
And he didn't seem to have any plans to leave.
The heartbeat began to accelerate, and Jiang Cheng frantically recalled in his mind everything he had encountered since coming to this world, including observations and the narrative of the man known as Director Qi.
The fear of ghosts was only one aspect. What really frightened Jiang Cheng was that he knew nothing about the ghost outside the door.
Identity, preferences, killing methods.
He doesn’t know them all.
In other words, as long as the other party comes in, at least one of them will be killed.
The only thing I can do is to try to ensure that Lin Wan'er and I are not the one who died.
As for whether it was Weiwei or Du Feng, he didn't care and wouldn't interfere.
In the final analysis, the reason why I was involved in the nightmare this time was entirely because of the investigation into the disappearance of Nan Huaili.
It was Mrs. Nan who found her boss, Lin Waner.
Lin Wan'er, who had no idea, pulled her in again.
In the final analysis, he is the one who has been wronged the most.
But he was also glad that he was here, otherwise Lin Wan'er would have to face such a nightmare alone.
What works like a fish in water in the real world may not work here.
It seemed that he had been thinking a lot, but in fact, in his mind, Jiang Cheng's thoughts were interrupted in just a split second, because he heard the sound of the door being pushed.
That's right!
It was the sound of the door being pushed.
The guy outside the door is trying to come in.
Fortunately, the action is not strong.
But Jiang Cheng knew that the other party was more interested in testing.
The guy outside seemed unsure if anyone was in the room.
An idea slowly took shape in his mind. Jiang Cheng held his breath. After thinking for a short time, he felt that this idea should be reliable.
The ghost outside the door is a headless ghost.
It has no eyes.
So finding people relies more on touch.
The headless ghost is also testing if someone in the room is too frightened and cannot bear to shout or even run.
Then the headless ghost outside the door will start killing people.
At that time, there was no way a door could stop it.
When there is no one inside, the headless ghost is restricted by the rules. It pushes the door just to test. Jiang Cheng guesses that even if there is no bed behind it, as long as the door is closed, the headless ghost will definitely push it. Not open.
This is the glimmer of hope left to them by the rules.
What he is most worried about now is Weiwei and Du Feng.
If they react violently, Jesus cannot save them.
But fortunately, they didn't.
From beginning to end, they were very quiet in that direction, as if they were asleep.
Time passes minute by minute.
Every second is torture.
Fortunately, the footsteps that had stopped for a long time began to leave in another direction.
"Sand——"
"Sand——"
"Sand——"
Like a tired traveler dragging his dying body.
Jiang Cheng stared at the direction where the footsteps disappeared. There they walked through in the afternoon. It was the almost abandoned corridor, and the nearby rooms were locked.
Ghosts come from that direction.
After waiting for another 10 minutes or so, Jiang Cheng slowly stood up and walked back to the bed.
As expected, I saw Weiwei and Du Feng, with their heads next to each other, leaning against each other.
His eyes were closed tightly, as if he was asleep.
But Jiang Cheng understood that they were not asleep, but passed out.
Lin Wan'er just sat quietly by the bed, looking unrecognizable. Jiang Cheng didn't even know whether she was scared to death or not scared at all.
"Are you okay?" Jiang Cheng looked at Lin Waner.
Lin Wan'er's body shook a few times before she finally calmed down, raised her head, looked at Jiang Cheng with a very pitiful look and said, "I'm scared."
Jiang Cheng looked back at Du Feng, who was drooling, and felt that his worries about Lin Wan'er seemed unnecessary.
This is not a normal woman.
It seemed that before the footsteps could be heard, Lin Waner suddenly took action and knocked out Weiwei and Du Feng in advance.
The control of sound and intensity was perfect, I didn’t even hear it.
"What is that thing outside?" Lin Waner asked in a low voice, giving the impression that she was about to faint from fear at any time.
"Ghost." Jiang Cheng glanced at the door and introduced, "And it has no head."
Lin Waner was silent for a while, "It's so scary."
My boss's brain circuit is still there. She was not mentally healthy, so Jiang Cheng was not prepared to explain too much to her.
“Fortunately, you are alert, otherwise we would be in trouble.” Jiang Cheng said.
Lin Wan'er seemed to like Jiang Cheng's praise of herself. She put a hand on her chin, nodded and said, "I heard the ghost push the door, but why didn't she push it open?"
Lin Wan'er naturally knew that an ordinary door could not stop ghosts.
"It should be that the death conditions are not triggered." Jiang Cheng explained, "Huaiyi said in the afternoon that ghosts here generally don't kill people for no reason."
"Ghosts Can you still be reasonable?" Lin Wan'er's eyes flashed with light.
Jiang Cheng swallowed. He couldn't figure out why when talking about ghosts, Lin Wan'er's eyes showed the same pleasure as a woman seeing beautiful clothes.
“I don’t know.” Jiang Cheng looked away and said perfunctorily: “Probably not. In short, don’t think about trying to reason with the ghost. If we find the clues, we will leave as soon as possible.”
Jiang Cheng carried Weiwei and Du Feng to their own beds, and then asked Lin Wan'er to go to bed while he stayed to keep vigil.
In a nightmare, one must always be vigilant, and the amount of energy consumed is unimaginable by people living in the real world.
It seems that something in the nightmare is disturbing them, gradually eroding their spirit and their will to resist.
Especially for newcomers, in the nightmare world, the waking time is even less than half of the real world, and they are often exhausted just after completing the exploration of a few places.
And along with it, the nights are getting longer and longer, and the dawn is getting more and more distant. (End of chapter)
