Chapter 856 Escape
Coldness, numbness, and similar feelings were like a net, trapping Jiangcheng in it.
He was gradually losing control of his body, and a strange force was pulling him behind him, as if it was trying to drag him into the quagmire.
He could feel that the murderer behind him was gradually approaching him in some strange way, penetrating into his shadow, and after this process was over, he would kill himself.
Close.
Closer.
Just a second before Jiang Cheng felt that cold breath was about to stick to his back, a pair of blood-red eyes appeared on his shadow on the ground.
Then, strange ripples appeared on the shadow, and he stood up from the ground quietly.
The murderer who originally stepped on the shadow was stunned.
The standing shadow took Jiang Cheng's place, and Jiang Cheng, who lost his restraints, stumbled forward.
The chill in his body gradually receded, and slowly, control of his body returned to his hands.
As soon as he regained feeling in his legs, he immediately ran forward.
He knew clearly that the standing shadow was nothing.
The murderer would never have thought that Jiang Cheng's shadow would actually be replaced, and that the person who replaced his shadow would be another guy whose terror was definitely not inferior to it.
But in the murderer's eyes that were wrapped with tape, there was no emotion of fear at all. It was exactly the same as before. It seemed that no matter whether it was a person or anything else standing in front of it, it They are all treated the same way.
I saw it slowly raising the giant ax in its hand and striking Wu hard.
The not-sharp ax blade was not as indestructible as before, directly splitting the person in front of him in half.
The ax did indeed cut down, but the strange thing was that it seemed as if it had cut into a quagmire, with the ax blade sinking deeply into Wu's body, leaving only a small part exposed.
What’s even weirder is that after the murderer struck the axe, he seemed to have fallen into some kind of programmed program and began to mechanically retreat while trying his best to pull out the axe.
It feels as if it only cuts this axe, but the result, whether the person struck by it dies or not, is not within its scope of consideration.
It's like an old-fashioned ritual.
But this time, something strange happened.
Wu Pingbai in front of it received an ax blow and remained silent. To be precise, it had been motionless since it took Jiang Cheng's place, as if restricted by some kind of rule.
But now, the rules were lifted, and strange black ripples began to appear on Wu's body. Then, a slender knife appeared in his hand, and the light of the knife was as clear as water.
The next second, Wu turned around and slashed with his sword.
"Huh——"
"Huu——"
Jiang Cheng ran a long distance in one breath. He didn't stop until he came to the corner of the corridor and faced the safety exit. , he kept gasping for air, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.
Good risk.
Fortunately Wu took action to save him.
"That's not right." Jiang Cheng thought to himself, "This seems to have nothing to do with Wu's goodwill. After all, it was the murderer who provoked Wu first, and Wu is within the legal scope."
Recalling what Xia Qiang said to him, he also With his own personal experience, Jiang Cheng probably deduced the murderer's killing methods.
First look for an opportunity to approach. If it is not seen visually, then wait until it quietly stands behind you, standing on top of your shadow, and then it will attack.
And this attack is fatal.
Xia Qiang, Yuan Xiaotian, and Li Mengyao all died in such an attack.
Just when Jiang Cheng was thinking about what kind of sparks Wu Hui and the murderer would have, suddenly, the safety door that was closed in front of him moved. It was a very slight movement. If you didn't observe carefully, you would miss it completely.
Then, the door opened a crack.
Jiang Cheng’s heart that had just been relieved suddenly lifted up again.
His first reaction was Yuan Xiaotian, it was waiting for him here!
But
A few seconds later, the door suddenly opened, and a familiar figure appeared in front of him, "It's you!" Jiang Cheng couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Lin Muwan quickly walked out from behind the door and trotted towards Jiangcheng.
After running closer, he immediately took Jiang Cheng’s arm, as if to check whether he was injured.
"I'm fine." Jiang Cheng said quickly: "Why don't you run away? It's very dangerous to stay here. The murderer and Yuan Xiaotian are there, and you never know when they will chase you."
"I'm waiting for you." Lin Muwan quickly wrote in the notebook: "I knew you would be fine." Even in such a dark environment, Lin Muwan's eyes could still be seen red.
"I'm fine." Jiang Cheng couldn't think of other words to comfort her, so he immediately took her arm and walked towards the safety door, "Let's get out of here first, I think the murderer will be chasing her soon."
Lin Muwan followed him, behaving very well, and kept talking as he walked. While writing in the notebook: "My brother just sent me a message saying that he is fine now. He also told me that it is useless to just avoid it. The only way to end it all is to leave here and leave from Yourun Building." She was worried that Jiang Cheng would see it. It's not clear. It took me two pages to write these words completely.
As he walked down the stairs quickly, Jiang Cheng listened carefully to the movements around him and asked cautiously: "Did your brother ask you anything, such as the location, the situation on your side, and your next step?" This kind of thing."
Jiang Cheng was worried that the brother who sent the message to Lin Muwan was not Lin Muyun, but a ghost.
His worries are not unreasonable. After all, he has encountered similar things more than once.
But as soon as Lin Muwan heard Jiang Cheng's words, he shook his head firmly, and then wrote in his notebook: "No, I'm prepared. My brother didn't ask me anything, and even warned me to be careful. ”
“In a place like this "It's very dangerous to trust a phone call. He won't ask me questions, and he hopes I won't ask him. He has his own plans."
Lin Muwan kept turning the pages in order to write these words. , fortunately, Jiang Cheng is by her side to protect her.
He is a smart man. The two siblings are very similar in this regard.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Cheng said: "Judging from the tone, it must be your brother, and the murderer was dealing with another guy just now, so he would not spare the energy to pretend to be your brother and talk to you."< br>
"Your brother is still alive, so you have to live too. He is still waiting for you." When he said this, Jiang Cheng looked at Lin Muchan. In a place like this, people are most afraid of losing hope.
"The same goes for Mr. Jiang!" Lin Muwan wrote, his eyes full of determination.
Jiang Cheng nodded slightly in response. The murderer was standing behind him just now. His whole body seemed to be frozen, and his bones were filled with ice.
After this period of time, most of it has recovered.
A hand touched him, interrupting his thoughts, and then handed over the notebook: "Who is the other guy you mentioned?" Lin Muwan looked at Jiang Cheng curiously. (End of chapter)
