Chapter 1179 Burnt Corpse
As if sensing Jiang Cheng’s thoughts, the space on the left side of the corridor became increasingly weird, and the lamp above the head made a "sizzling" sound, like a dying old man, helpless whimper.
At this moment, shoes are neatly placed at the entrances of several rooms.
Each room contains two pairs of shoes.
These rooms are rooms where teammates live.
But as Jiang Cheng approached, some kind of restriction seemed to be triggered. At the same time, strange sounds came from the originally silent room, as if someone was rolling and crawling towards the door.
Oops, he was discovered. Although he had already anticipated the danger on the way to escape, Jiang Cheng's heart sank when he arrived so quickly. He originally planned to escape through the employee passage on the far left, but now, The situation doesn't allow it.
What’s worse is that there are sounds even behind him.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
"Boom!"
...
The voices came one after another, approaching him quickly, with a full sense of oppression.
Jiang Cheng turned his head while running and glanced behind him, his brows couldn't help but twitch.
It is indeed Lin Waner!
But at this time, Lin Wan'er was no longer the one he knew. "Lin Wan'er" had disheveled hair, a faint pale green complexion, and a ferocious face. She raised her hands flat and quickly chased after him.
The movements may seem clumsy, but they are extremely fast, even faster than he can run.
It is definitely too late to run to the employee passage on the far left now. Not to mention there are other ghosts, not even Lin Wan'er, he can't run away. He will definitely be caught on the way.
One door after another opened, and the ferocious-looking "companions" appeared one after another.
But what surprised Jiang Cheng was that these "companions" who were very close to him did not rush towards him immediately. Instead, they stood in front of the door, bending their stiff bodies, throwing off their slippers, Start changing into the shoes you left outside the door.
Although Jiang Cheng, who passed by these people, didn't quite understand the reason, thinking about the fat man's behavior, he thought that slippers were a kind of prohibition. He needed to wear slippers in the room, and when leaving the room, he had to put on his own shoes.
Jiang Cheng couldn't help but feel lucky that he had changed his shoes in advance. Otherwise, he might have caused a big trouble if he ran out wearing slippers.
At this time, Lin Waner, who looked like a zombie, was approaching from behind him. The distance between the two was less than 5 meters. Two more jumps would be enough to knock him down.
At the moment of crisis, Jiang Cheng changed his mind, turned sharply, and rushed down the guest stairs in the middle.
Lin Wan'er couldn't avoid it and rushed straight over.
Hearing the messy footsteps above his head, Jiang Cheng knew that his "companions" had also put on their shoes and were gathering behind him to chase him.
I jumped down the stairs in three steps and two, and a burning smell hit my face, which was very pungent.
Now he came to the third floor. According to Chenran, there was a fire on the third floor and everyone was burned to death. But the third floor that caught Jiang Cheng’s eyes was the same as before, neat and clean, and not burned. Traces of the aftermath.
The doors of two rooms were wide open, and it was dark inside. From Jiangcheng's perspective, you couldn't see what was inside.
He needed to find an escape route quickly, whether to go through the corridor in front of the dark door, go to the staff passage on the other side, or continue running down the stairs in the middle.
Emotionally, of course, it was more convenient and faster to run straight down, but rationally, he told him that the employee passage on the left would be safer, even though he had to pass through two dark doors, and he didn't know if there was a ghost hidden inside.
He was also worried that the moment he passed by, he would be pulled in by the ghostly hand stretched out from behind the door.
Now he is a delicacy in the eyes of these ghosts. Whoever catches him first will have exclusive rights.
In just a short moment, countless images flashed through Jiang Cheng's mind. The messy footsteps behind him also appeared at the corner of the stairs. He would be caught soon.
But Jiang Cheng suddenly realized something very critical.
A very important thing was lost in this mess of footsteps.
It’s... Lin Waner’s footsteps!
The sound of "dong dong dong" when jumping.
He didn't hear it!
Lin Waner gave up the chase. This was impossible. Judging from the pull on the phone, how could she give up this attractive piece of fat? So Lin Waner had another plan.
Jiang Cheng quickly judged that Lin Wan'er must have taken another route to intercept him.
It couldn't be the elevator. The old-fashioned elevator didn't have enough time to go up and down, so... there was only one left. Lin Wan'er ran to the stairs on the far left and waited for her there.
Staring at the far left side of the very quiet corridor, Jiang Cheng felt even more certain.
No longer hesitating, Jiang Cheng continued to run down, along the middle stairs.
But this time, it was also a big gamble, and it went smoothly from the 3rd floor to the 2nd floor.
Gradually, Jiang Cheng also noticed the weaknesses of these ghosts.
For some reason, their bodies are very stiff and their running postures are all weird. They run a little faster in a straight line than themselves, but if they run up stairs or turn corners, they will be pulled away by themselves. distance.
Standing on the 2nd floor, there are stairs leading down below. As long as he runs to the 1st floor and finds the stage before being caught by the ghost, his mission is over.
But Jiang Cheng stood still, his eyes fixed on the corner of the stairs.
There is a huge mirror hanging there, almost as big as half the wall.
In front of the mirror, four burnt corpses were neatly placed.
Just like the body of Teacher Zigui, the body was burned beyond recognition, but the clothes, shoes, and even the accessories were all safe.
But this is not the scariest thing. What really attracted Jiang Cheng's attention was the scene in the mirror.
What is reflected in the mirror and what Jiang Cheng sees are two completely different worlds!
In the mirror, everything in front of me was burned into ruins. Most of the wooden stairs collapsed. They were burnt black, and sparks were still rising in some places.
The walls and ceiling were also a tragic scene after the fire.
More importantly, the charred corpses that appeared in the mirror were not 4, but 5!
Between the bodies of Su Xiaoxiao and Su An, another charred corpse appeared out of thin air, but outside the mirror, on the ground around the corner, there was no such corpse!
This sudden scene slightly disrupted Jiang Cheng’s plan, but it also made him quickly recall one thing. In the previous fires at the Roman Hotel, there was an unidentified body. Burnt corpses.
Now it seems that this is the right one!
Unlike other corpses, this corpse that only existed in the mirror was naked from top to bottom, with nothing on it, so it was impossible to judge his identity from his clothing.
The charred corpse lay silently in the mirror, motionless, but the pressure it brought to Jiang Cheng was unprecedented.
Suddenly, with a flash of his peripheral vision, he noticed that the charred corpse had its hands flat on its chest. Under the two hands, there was a strange color, which was not large in area, and seemed to be...a piece of paper. (End of this chapter)
