Chapter 772 Shadow (3000)
“How could this happen?” The fat man couldn’t help but lost his voice, “She was wearing that dress, didn’t you mean”
“There are pros and cons, ordinary sculpture ghosts can’t Seeing it doesn't mean that all ghosts can't see her. There's no guarantee that this piece of clothing will become a priority target for another type of being." In comparison, Wang Qi's voice had an extra tone. Frank seems to have foreseen Shen Mengyun's ending.
Similar to Wang Qi's thoughts, Jiang Cheng also immediately thought of the eye pattern on this work uniform, which might be a warning.
Warning that anyone who wears this dress will be targeted by another terrifying thing.
"It's the half-length ghost." Huai Yi thought thoughtfully.
This is an unanswerable answer, because all the sculpture ghosts have been eliminated, but they have not yet seen the source of the strange stories.
That weird bust.
"Doctor, look quickly!" The fat man pointed at the ground. From his angle, he could just see a line of bloody footprints, extending from the shelf that supported Shen Mengyun to the distance.
Oddly enough, they were so far away just now that they didn't see any footprints or bloodstains on the ground.
It was like they all came out of nowhere when they got closer.
Jiang Cheng stared at the bloody footprints on the ground. The footprints were very strange. They ranged from left to right and had no fixed stride size.
Through these footprints, you can imagine how weird this person's walking posture was at that time.
He would drag his leg from time to time, leaving a long trail of blood on the ground. It was very scary in the dark scene.
Thinking of Shen Mengyun's missing legs, a creepy picture appeared in everyone's mind.
After killing Shen Mengyun, the halfling ghost tore off both of her legs and placed them on himself.
Then, like a child learning to walk for the first time, he staggered away on Shen Mengyun's legs.
The footprints disappeared near the stairs.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Cheng stepped forward and took off the work clothes that were still on Shen Mengyun's upper body. The hem of the work clothes was soaked with blood and was still dripping.
After doing all this, Jiang Cheng squatted in front of Shen Mengyun and closed her eyes for her.
The fat man had a sore nose and felt that Shen Mengyun was so pitiful, and so was the doctor.
Following the footprints, Jiang Cheng was the first to walk over, and the others followed him. Huaiyi looked at the bloody footprints on the ground, and there seemed to be some pieces of meat stuck to the ground.
Coming to the first floor, the footprints extend to the end of the other side of the corridor.
Finally, it broke in front of a door.
Everyone is familiar with this door.
Behind the door is the sculpture hall.
In a roundabout way, they are back again.
"He lured us back on purpose." Wang Qi stared at the footprints on the ground, and there was still blood on the door handle, all of which was obvious.
No one suggested knocking on the door this time. The door was ajar and opened with a push.
The inside is still the same as before. In a dim scene, sculptures of different shapes are placed around it. This is the best hiding place for the bust.
Or rather its hunting ground.
The male teacher died here.
Standing in the middle of the sculpture hall, Jiang Cheng took out the work clothes that only left half of his body, put it on meticulously, and even adjusted the collar.
Huaiyi could feel that after putting on this work clothes, Jiang Cheng's aura became different from before.
Wang Qi squinted his eyes. From that moment on, he smelled something different in Jiang Cheng, as if he was a different person.
Or something in him opened his eyes.
Jiang Cheng didn't think much of it. His purpose in putting on this work clothes was simply to lure the half-length ghost out, then break its neck and smash its head.
Shen Mengyun saved herself twice.
He did not accept that her death was unclear.
After putting on this work clothes, Jiang Cheng immediately felt something strange and his body became cold. Sure enough, the side effect of wearing this clothes was that he would be noticed by the bust.
Among a group of people, the bust will be the priority target.
That's good.
Jiang Cheng's insight is not comparable to that of Shen Mengyun. It only took less than 10 seconds for Jiang Cheng to find the weird one among the dozens of sculptures in the hall.
This statue is hidden between two statues, almost shrouded in shadow, with only a little outline exposed.
The exposed outline looks like a person tilting his neck and peeking out half of his face.
At the same time, an icy chill penetrated Jiang Cheng's whole body. His whole body seemed to be frozen, unable to move or speak.
Huaiyi, Fatty and the others soon discovered something strange about Jiang Cheng.
“Don’t touch him.” Wang Qi stopped the fat man who was anxious and wanted to slap Jiang Cheng with his hand.
"This should be the ability of that ghost." Wang Qi followed Jiang Cheng's line of sight and saw two statues there, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with them.
"Wait for me here, don't move around." Wang Qi walked in the direction where Jiang Cheng was looking, and did not forget to remind Fatty Huaiyi, saying that once Jiang Cheng diverted his attention, he would immediately turn to the new direction. Point it out to him.
Arriving at the spot where Jiang Cheng was looking, Wang Qi quickly checked some vacant spots nearby. He also touched them with his hands and tools, as if he thought there were invisible things that couldn't be seen with the naked eye.
Before he finished checking, he saw the fat man waving his hands to him repeatedly, indicating that he should look in another direction.
Wang Qi frowned. The fat man's new location was much closer to Jiangcheng.
It is not difficult to guess that this half-length ghost can only be seen by people wearing that work clothes, and after seeing it, this person cannot move, nor can he communicate with his teammates and report their location.
What is even more terrifying is that the half-length ghost is constantly approaching the person wearing clothes in an incomprehensible way.
When he finally got there, Shen Mengyun would end up there.
Yes. What is the rule?
Wang Qi no longer wasted time. He quickly returned to Jiangcheng. The ghost couldn't observe him, so he had to start with Jiangcheng's reaction.
Here Jiang Cheng also figured out the pattern of ghost movement. Every time he blinked, the half-length sculpture ghost moved a strange distance towards him.
Now, the other party is less than 15 meters away from me.
Blink up to 3 more times and it will teleport to you.
From this distance, Jiang Cheng could clearly see its ugly appearance. The upper body was a sculpture, but the lower body was made of two long legs.
The long legs were covered in blood, which formed a strong contrast with the original fair skin. It was Shen Mengyun's legs that it snatched away.
The bust sculpture and the two long legs are put together in an almost brutal way, and the connection in the middle is bloody and fleshy, as if they were glued together.
At this moment, the half-length man's gray-white eyes were also staring at Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng knew in his heart that it was waiting for him to blink.
When you stare at the half-figure, it is also unable to move. However, compared to living people, the half-figure ghost has an innate advantage in that it does not need to blink.
Theoretically speaking, as long as a single person hits a half-length ghost, the only outcome is death.
It itself is not strong. As long as Jiang Cheng is given a chance to get close, it can be solved with a scythe, but its ability is terrifying, especially in certain specific scenarios, which is very tricky.
At this time, a problem posed in front of Jiang Cheng. There was only one piece of work clothes, which meant that no matter how many people survived, only one person could see the half-length ghost at the same time.
The person who sees the ghost alone will be killed by the ghost because he cannot communicate with his teammates and cannot move.
Then the question is, how can we survive?
In other words, where is the way to survive?
People who wear clothes will be killed by ghosts. If they don't wear clothes, although they will not be killed by ghosts, they will not be able to end the mission. After all, the prerequisite for ending the mission is to kill the half-length ghost.
This brings us back to the origin of the problem.
If you can't see a ghost, how can you talk about killing it?
But Jiang Cheng knows one thing, there will be no unsolvable tasks, so the ghost will definitely be seen, and there must be a way to kill it.
With the next blink of an eye, the half-length ghost came closer, this time standing in the corner on the right side of Jiangcheng, less than 10 meters away from him.
Feeling that Fatty Wang Qi and the others around him were busy, Jiang Cheng slowly came up with a new guess. Moreover, as soon as this guess appeared, Jiang Cheng felt that he was at least 9 points sure.
Just now he tried to guide Wang Qi to attack the bust, but he found that Wang Qi not only couldn't see the bust, but also couldn't touch it.
From the corner of his eye, he saw Wang Qi even pass through where the bust was standing. The other person was like a shadow.
But the idea of using Fatty Wang Qi and the others was right. He wanted to try another guess. If he could guide Wang Qi, Fatty Huaiyi and the others, that is to say, except him, all the existing people, They all looked at the hiding place of the bust at the same time. What would happen?
Is it possible that the bust will not only be frozen, but also reveal its original shape?
During this period, Jiang Cheng blinked again, and the next moment, the bust finally appeared in front of Jiang Cheng.
The distance between the two was only 1 meter, almost face to face. The gray-white eyes on the portrait's face were glowing with a strange luster, staring at him motionless.
Jiang Cheng has been waiting for this moment!
Wang Qi is a very smart person. After noticing that Jiang Cheng's eyes were focused on the front, he immediately signaled to Fatty Huaiyi and the other two.
The three people stood in three places, and then looked at the place where Jiang Cheng was staring at the same time. In less than a second, a bust of a human figure appeared strangely in the open space in front of Jiang Cheng. figure.
First, the long legs appeared out of thin air, and then bit by bit, the upper body of the figure also began to appear, until it completely appeared.
The long legs were still dripping with blood, which made the fat man uncontrollably worried.
At the moment when the half-length figure was completely revealed, Jiang Cheng's restraint was suddenly lifted. He stepped forward quickly, grabbed the figure's head with both hands, and exerted force.
No matter how hard Jiang Cheng tried, the sculpture's head remained motionless.
But the fat man on the side was very anxious. After all, every second, something might change. He obviously had a tool, so he hit it on the back of the head with a tool!
In the shocked eyes of Fatty and others, a black shadow suddenly appeared behind Jiang Cheng. The shadow quickly stretched out two hands and covered Jiang Cheng's hands.
The next second, with a "click", Jiang Cheng roared and pulled out the bust's head. (End of chapter)
