Chapter 744 Horror Night in the Library
That was a guy with an exaggerated height. When he walked out of the door, his head was almost pressed against the door frame. A conservative estimate would be 2 meters, about 2 or 3 meters.
Maybe it’s because of the light that I can’t see the face clearly.
Wearing a black robe, a large cross hangs on his chest. In the dim environment, silver light flows from the cross.
In fact, Jiang Cheng already knew the identity of this ghost when he saw the cross.
This is the former owner of the folk museum.
The foreign exorcist.
Unexpectedly, after being killed by the Heart-Eating Demon, he turned into a ghost and became a ghost story in Jiangtan University Library.
It’s just that the burned borrowing desk should be on the 4th floor. Why did the ghost appear on the first floor?
Without leaving Jiang Cheng any extra time to think, the ghost that the exorcist turned into after his death began to walk towards their direction with stiff steps.
"Dong."
"Dong."
It looked like it was wearing leather boots, and the sound it made when it hit the ground was muffled and heavy, as if it could directly step into people's hearts and knock them out. Heart pounding.
If nothing else, just in terms of oppression, this ghost is much stronger than the woman in red in the abandoned playground.
Because they didn’t know the ghost’s killing methods, several people in Jiangcheng stood still and hid themselves.
The fat man retracted his neck and squatted down.
As the ghost approached, he sniffed and frowned, and a strange burnt smell began to fill the air.
The fat man’s first reaction was that the meat was burnt.
But it's not the same, because there is an indescribable smell inside, which is somewhat similar to the smell of burning rubber.
Obviously the smell comes from this ghost.
Taking into account what the doctor told him, the fat man rolled his throat up and down a few times, thinking that this foreign friend's life was also quite bitter, and he had also been burned.
Then just call him the Burnt Ghost.
This burnt smell seemed to have a magical power. After smelling it for a long time, my whole mind became dizzy. The fat man was already trying to hold his breath.
But the smell seemed to be alive, and it kept getting into his nose.
“Ka——”
"Crack."
The Burnt Ghost seemed to notice something. He stopped not far from the table where Huaiyi was hiding, and then turned his neck a little bit. It seemed that he was looking for someone.
The Scorched Ghost's movements were very stiff, and as its neck turned, crisp sounds were made from time to time.
Huaiyi hid under the table, not daring to express his anger.
Jiang Cheng's location is relatively better, which also allows him to have more experience observing the Burnt Ghost and thinking about ways to deal with it.
The Scorched Ghost is less than 5 meters away from Huai Yi. If he takes two more steps in that direction and then squats down, he can be caught.
But the Burnt Ghost did not.
It can be seen from here that this ghost does not have the perverted ability to find people like the woman in red in the abandoned playground.
It can only roughly sense where someone is within the range, but it cannot accurately locate it.
After staying for less than half a minute, the Burnt Ghost's body began to tremble, and in Jiang Cheng's eyes, it looked like he was impatient.
Then
“Dong.”
“Dong.”
In Jiang Cheng’s sight, the Burnt Ghost actually walked away with heavy steps.
Walked in the other direction.
As the burnt ghost left, the strong, head-swelling burnt smell gradually dissipated.
After the Burnt Ghost turned a corner and completely disappeared, the fat man carefully slipped out from behind the bookshelf.
Seeing that Jiang Cheng had no objection, the fat man tiptoed to the pillar where he was hiding.
"Doctor." The fat man asked in a low voice, "Are you leaving now?"
Jiang Cheng's eyes still stayed at the place where the burnt ghost disappeared. After a moment, he nodded his chin, "It should be Gone.”
The fat man swallowed his saliva, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Doctor, did you see where the ghost was standing just now? I feel like it sensed someone nearby."
"But" the fat man raised his head, His eyes were full of doubts: "But it didn't look for it carefully. Instead, it left in a hurry as if it was in a hurry. Why?"
The fat man's words gave Jiang Cheng some ideas, and he turned around and looked behind him. There is an old hourglass on the table not far away.
One third of the fine sand in the hourglass has leaked out.
“Time.” Jiang Cheng said: “This ghost is also in a hurry, and this hourglass is for timing.”
The fat man stared at the hourglass with a clear expression, "I understand doctor, this ghost must catch someone before all the sand in the hourglass leaks out."
Jiang Cheng did not give any answers to the fat man's guess. Yes or no, there are currently very few clues, so it would be too early to draw a conclusion.
And Jiang Cheng also had a vague feeling that this matter was not that simple.
For the time being, this ghost is just bigger and looks more intimidating, but its abilities are not even as good as those of an ordinary person.
The movement is slow, the movements are stiff, and the position of the person cannot be accurately sensed.
If that's the only thing, then Jiang Cheng believes that it won't be able to catch anyone. The strange story in the library this time is the Welfare Bureau.
But unfortunately, this will not happen in the mission.
So they just haven't discovered the real murderous intention yet.
And that fable, they didn’t have time to think about it.
"Doctor." The fat man looked at the pillar beside Jiang Cheng, blinked, and then his pupils suddenly shrank as if he had discovered something incredible, "Why is this pillar here?"
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng turned to look at the pillar, "What's wrong with the pillar?"
The fat man stretched out his hand and pulled Jiang Cheng away from the pillar. He seemed to feel unsafe, so he pulled Jiang Cheng back a few steps and looked at the pillar warily. , after a long while, he whispered in a strange voice: "Doctor, we will come in the morning "The pillar was not here."
After the fat man finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and pointed to a location on the left, "It should be there."
After listening to what the fat man said, Almost instantly, Jiang Cheng found the source of the indescribable feeling in his heart.
Everything here is the same as when they came during the day, but the location has changed.
Things originally placed on the left were moved to the right, and the right was moved to the left.
Not a certain thing, or a certain type of thing, but the whole.
The whole library is upside down!
Is this the real reason that restricts them from going to places where weird stories happen in schools during the day?
The purpose is to prevent them from discovering that everything in the ghost stories is contrary to the real world?
As soon as this idea emerged, it took root in Jiang Cheng's mind.
And with the emergence of this idea, various complex and seemingly unrelated clues were strangely pieced together.
Slowly, Jiang Cheng’s thoughts drifted back to the beginning, the warehouse they found at the activity center.
If I remember correctly, there was a mirror hanging on the wall of the warehouse.
It's just broken.
Five of Yuan Xiaoyi's "friends" also disappeared that day.
They all hid themselves in strange stories. (End of this chapter)
