Chapter 681 Thinking Too Much
The corridor is relatively dark, with a door on both sides. It feels like it will open at any time, and then stretch out a pair of hands to pull the person in.
A faint sound floated over.
"Did you hear anything?" Shen Mengyun said softly.
Everyone heard it, but no one answered her words. Everyone's nerves were tense at this moment.
"Tick tock."
Jiang Cheng's brows furrowed.
At this moment they finally heard clearly.
It is the sound of dripping water.
“Tick.”
"Tick tock."
It feels like the faucet is not tightened or is in disrepair.
Water gathered little by little at the rusty faucet outlet, and then until it gathered into a drop, it finally dripped down unbearably and shattered on the cement floor.
But everyone knows it.
This matter is not that simple.
Because they couldn't determine the source of the dripping sound at all.
The sound seemed to come from all directions.
Suddenly, Shen Mengyun, who was deep in thought, bumped into Jiang Cheng. Gao Yan reacted faster to avoid causing a chain accident.
"What's going on?" Gao Yan asked in a low voice. Under the continued high pressure, everyone was already on edge.
Shen Mengyun looked at Jiang Cheng. He was the one who was walking in the front and stopped first.
Jiang Cheng always limited the brightness of his mobile phone to a certain range. After seeing the water stains, Jiang Cheng knew that something in the dormitory had found them.
"There is no way." Jiang Cheng raised his phone. Shen Mengyun and Gao Yan's eyes widened. 10 meters away, there was a gray cement wall, like a rough house that had not been painted.
“There is no way out.” Gao Yan seemed like he couldn’t believe his eyes, “How could it be, you were fine when you came here?”
According to his experience, he shouldn’t have been so panicked. , but you must know that this is the first night here, and this is the first day, then...
"Don't panic." Jiang Cheng looked at the wall that suddenly appeared in front of him, "Since this road is blocked , let’s just go another way.”
Not long ago, this was a staircase, and they came up from here. Now, if they take another route, the risk will be even greater.
After Gao Yan calmed down, he reached out to stop Jiang Cheng who was about to turn around and leave, "Mr. Jiang, I think it's better for us not to change paths. This is obviously an obstacle deliberately set up by that thing for us. We are forced to go to other roads."
"Other roads will only be more dangerous," Gao Yan said firmly, staring at Jiang Cheng. After all, this was not the first time that he had encountered such a thing.
Jiang Cheng turned his head and looked at Gao Yan with unclear eyes. After a moment, he asked: "What do you think?"
"Let's go up and check." Gao Yan said: "I guess this may be a trick to block the wall. Let's try to see if we can break it."
Jiang Cheng nodded and raised his hands to Gao Yan: "Senior, what you said makes sense, please."
"Me?" Gao Yan asked in surprise, and then his face said, are you serious? Are you really worried about me going alone?
Following Gao Yan's gaze, Shen Mengyun naturally avoided his gaze.
Now Jiang Cheng's suspicion of Gao Yan has reached a higher level. The wall that suddenly appeared in front of him was made of cement and did not match the surrounding painted walls at all.
To say something similar, Jiang Cheng felt that it was very similar to the wall in the warehouse.
A bold guess arose in Jiang Cheng's mind. Could it be that they were still in the warehouse and had never left at all? The corridor in front of them was just a ghost beating the wall, it was all fake.
If you rush forward to check under such circumstances, something will happen.
Logically speaking, Gao Yan should not be able to detect such a scam.
Two points.
Jiang Cheng’s eyes swept over Gao Yan’s slightly panicked face.
Either this guy is a ghost pretending to be a ghost and tempting them to die, or this guy is really stupid and is frightened by the sight in front of him.
No matter which way, Jiang Cheng has a reason to keep a distance from him.
Seeing that no one supported him, Gao Yan did not dare to go there alone, so he could only say dryly: "How about we wait a little longer and we will think of other ways."
"Listen." Shen Mengyun suddenly looked at the darkness behind him and interrupted, "The sound of dripping water seems to be close."
Jiang Cheng listened, and after a moment, his expression changed.
Indeed, the blur caused by distance is gradually fading. If the source of the sound was 30 meters away just now, it is now 20 meters away.
And Jiang Cheng is convinced that this distance will get closer as time goes by.
Suddenly, Jiang Cheng seemed to have figured out something. He suddenly realized how he could connect the sound of dripping water with the faucet. There was obviously something more suitable!
The "person" who followed them from the dormitory and hid behind the shelves to spy on them!
The sound of dripping water must come from her body.
Slowly, a picture began to take shape in his mind. There was a person standing in the darkness somewhere. His whole body was wet and his face could not be seen clearly. His hands naturally hung on both sides of his body, along the soaked cuffs. Water dripped from time to time.
“Tick tock.”
The next second, a crisp sound of water dripping was like a sharp knife, cutting off his thoughts.
This time it was closer, only about 10 meters left.
“Let’s go.” Jiang Cheng quickly changed directions. Fortunately, the terrain inside the activity center was relatively complex. In addition to the normal floors, there were also low paths leading to places such as those sandwiched between the 3rd and 4th floors. The middle floor of the room.
Jiang Cheng's initial plan was to walk in as many different directions as possible to see if there was any chance of escaping from the range of the ghost wall.
"Mr. Jiang." Shen Mengyun, who was following Jiang Cheng, said. They had just come down a staircase, and after turning, there was another corridor, which seemed to be endless. "There is no way for us to keep running like this. We should first Analyze the purpose of this thing.”
Gao Yan had a weird look on his face, "We've chased us all the way, what else can we do? It wants to kill us."
"I mean, we can learn from this ghost's Identity starts." Shen Mengyun was anxious and finally said the word "ghost".
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng indeed slowed down, turned his head and asked, "Do you suspect that the ghost following us is Xiaoran."
Shen Mengyun nodded and said quickly: "We all know that the appearance and state of a ghost are closely related to the appearance before death. Xiaoran is on the school diving team, and this ghost will leave a large mark wherever it passes. Water damage, is this a coincidence?"
"That makes sense." Jiang Cheng took a long breath and looked at Shen Mengyun. That face said, "Beauty, if you have any idea, please tell me quickly. I'm afraid it's too late and I won't have a chance." , Why are you starting to attack us now?”
“Because we have found the key clue,” Gao Yan said with a frown.
“Let’s think so for now.” Shen Mengyun seemed to be a little confused, and suddenly lowered his voice: “And don’t you think it’s strange? The ghost following us doesn’t seem to be bent on killing us. It’s like they’re constantly forcing us and putting pressure on us. It’s like we owe her something?”
"But we don't know each other, what can we owe her?" Gao Yan became more and more confused, but vaguely, he felt that Shen Mengyun's words made sense.
Then, they discovered that Jiang Cheng stood still, reached into his pocket, and slowly took out something, which turned out to be a pair of swimming goggles!
"When did you get it?" Gao Yan was about to explode, looking at Jiang Cheng as if he had found the culprit.
Jiang Cheng touched his nose and explained with some embarrassment: "I just got it right, don't think too much about it." The third update is over and will continue tomorrow
