Chapter 1356 Life-Saving Purple Talisman
This is a real ghost wave climbing the stairs.
Its form, specifications, and quantity all far exceed those created by Ji Li.
Although this time it still did not comply with the original rules, after all, the priority of the clock rules was equally strong, and Yu Laojie was ordered to enter midnight in advance.
From a certain perspective, Mei Sheng's operation has offset Yu Laojie's 48-hour mission by nearly three hours.
Starting from today, the time rules of Yu Lao Street will enter chaos and can be modified by living people. The original real time is no longer important and will disappear.
At a quick glance, I could see that there were more than dozens of ghosts in the huge queue, but it was close to hundreds, and the number was still increasing.
The atmosphere of terror and depressive despair seems to have melted into the real air, and the bad weather with rain and wind has further amplified its influence.
That kind of irresistible control force is invisible but pervasive. There is no force that can compete with it.
Not to mention Lan Yu and Clyde, even the originally arrogant leader was completely tamed after stepping onto the narrow staircase of the south building.
Its posture is still ferocious and terrifying, but its overall momentum has been completely wiped out, and it has truly blended into the ghost tide queue, without the slightest movement.
This large and deep power of rules declares that the supernatural incident in Room 201 has been completely solved.
The twin female ghosts, as the spokesperson of the root ghost, successfully used the wisdom of the store clerk to completely suppress the first ghost.
Perhaps the third stage of Lan Yu's inference will inevitably come soon.
Unfortunately, the two survivors, he and Clyde, also stepped onto the narrow staircase of the south building, forced themselves into the rules as ghosts, and headed for an unknown destination.
Mei Sheng was also within the scope of losing control and had already joined the ghost wave queue on the fourteenth floor in advance.
That old clock represents the time rules of Yu Lao Street. Whoever can control it has the right to manipulate time.
But unfortunately, except for Ji Li and the unknown clerk at No. 1818, all Yu Laojie in reality were branded by the twin female ghosts.
The twin female ghosts don't have any particularly powerful abilities, but their method is extremely terrifying - turning people into ghosts!
This transformation into a ghost is not the same as turning into a ghost.
Because Mei Sheng is a witness, even if she stands in the queue of ghosts, she still retains a complete and clear thinking ability.
Obviously, the twin female ghosts can only change the identity of a living person into the identity of a ghost, and have no ability to modify the fundamental attributes.
"Their purpose is to let the store clerk follow the ghost tide to an unknown location!"
Mei Sheng's actions were suppressed by the desperate atmosphere and were beyond her control, but she was still able to analyze the current situation.
As more and more core clues emerge, the inside story about the origins of Yulao Street is also revealed one by one.
Yu Laojie is by no means an ordinary mission that can be passed by staying alive in your own supernatural room for 48 hours.
Its hidden side is the most terrifying place.
The incident of ghosts climbing the building at midnight is to gradually expose the hidden side and let the store employees realize the true horror of this mission.
It can be seen from this that the destination of the climbing incident will be extremely dangerous and terrifying, and it is very likely that a living person will die if he enters!
Even though he avoided the supernatural room, he still couldn't avoid the big event.
Mei Sheng knew that this was the twin female ghosts, the root ghosts, who had launched a purge on all the store employees on the first night.
People related to the female ghost had their identities forcibly changed, thus being involved in the ghost tide climbing incident.
But the most powerless thing is that they have no ability to resist or struggle. The excessive information is unclear, resulting in them having no idea about the root ghost, the twin female ghosts, and the ghost tide climbing the building.
The next destination is the 18th floor, where Room 1818 was the final place where the big-eyed doll disappeared.
So, the big-eyed doll’s room 1818, the tenth unknown clerk who never appears, and the end of the ghost wave’s climb...
All kinds of unsolved mysteries lingered in Mei Sheng's heart. She struggled to raise her head to take a look at the queue of ghosts that was gradually coming up below, but she couldn't do it.
Going to the destination was not what she was afraid of, it was just a pity that she couldn't carry that clock with her.
Before turning into a ghost, Mei Sheng tried to change the time by turning the hands of the clock again, and kept turning... until the 48 hours of the mission deadline were skipped.
But this approach is bound to be ineffective.
Mei Sheng realized that although the time of the clock could be modified, it was limited to "24 hours of the day", and zero o'clock was a unique time and could not be modified.
She was just sorry that she couldn't have the clock with her, but she didn't have much fear about the road ahead.
After life and death again and again, in countless tasks, an iron law has been engraved in everyone's heart.
"If you want to survive, sitting on the ground and being trapped will always be useless. You must explore forward and challenge the unknown to seize clues. This is the only chance of survival in the mission."
"The end of the ghost wave climbing the building is a great terror, but it must also be a great opportunity!"
Lan Yu has already stepped onto the eighth floor. In front of him is a human skin skeleton, and behind him is the seriously injured Clyde.
Anyone who has witnessed the change of identity will naturally have made corresponding guesses, and he also knows what Mei Sheng is thinking.
All this did not make the seriously injured Lan Yu timid. On the contrary, he saw the hope of completing the mission.
At the end, there must be arrangements for root-cause ghosts, and even on the other side of Yu Lao Street, the danger must be far greater than before. But if you can survive successfully, most of the mysteries will eventually be revealed.
For example, there are so many ghosts in Yulao Street. Why do dead people turn into ghosts on the spot? As a result, there are so many ghosts in Yulao Street.
The end point of the narrow staircase in the south building is the starting point of hope.
Whether the third stage that Lan Yu hopes for, whether it is great terror or order and calm, will be revealed immediately.
"When this broken ladder reaches the end, something will happen that I can't bear. Can I leave?"
Clyde's injuries were far more serious than anyone else's. Even if his body was controlled by a different kind of power at this moment, he could still feel the pain of losing his vitality.
As far as the current situation is concerned, not to mention that he has lost nearly half of his life, even if he is intact, he is afraid that he does not have the confidence to come out of that mysterious end point.
In the ninth branch, Clyde's first mission since he became the store manager, in the blink of an eye in three hours, all three store employees died, and he became a completely polished store manager.
Such a heavy loss made Clyde, who had always been optimistic, lose his former self-confidence.
Walking towards higher floors step by step, he was also weighing and worrying in his heart.
This book was recently updated in ##六@@九@@书@@!! Updated!
"It would be great if the magic stick is here, he will definitely help me decide..."
Clyde was hesitating. He had a deep feeling that once he really followed the ghost tide to the end, it would be difficult for him to get out again.
Now, his body is out of control, but his mind is still functioning.
Something was hovering in his mind, like a virtual thing, but also like a physical thing. Maybe it was the thing he relied on.
Seeing that the queue has passed the fifteenth floor, there are only the last two floors left before the final peak.
The ghosts in front disappeared one by one at the entrance to the eighteenth floor. It was obvious that the end point was there, and there was not much time to think.
Clyde's inner struggle became more and more intense. Perhaps there was something swirling in his brain that allowed him to predict certain things that had not happened yet.
We are almost approaching the top floor.
In this trapped place surrounded by buildings on all sides, a breath of free breathing finally appeared.
In the pouring rain, Clyde's blue eyes seemed to see an old man with a goatee and a stooped body and a tired look.
In the six months since he came to the Ninth Branch, he has long been cut off from his past life.
In this new life full of cunning and danger, he didn't have many friends, but the Christian and the Taoist priest, who laughed at each other and always bickered, became each other's only friends.
"I wonder if the magic stick has broken through the predicament and regained his life..."
The heavy rain blurred his vision and helped Clyde make this difficult choice.
The thing hovering in his brain became clearer and closer, and a ray of golden light bloomed from Clyde's forehead, like a rising sun rising in the terrifying south tower.
A long purple talisman flew out from his forehead and floated in front of him, with obscure and unreadable golden handwriting on it.
Those words were bathed in golden light, resurrecting huge supernatural power on the purple talisman paper. When the golden light was the brightest, they spontaneously ignited in the air without fire.
The purple talisman burned, and Clyde's hand suddenly clenched into a fist. The desperate and oppressive rules completely failed on him, and at the same time, even the lost flesh and blood began to be re-stitched.
In the blink of an eye, he completely recovered from his injuries three hours ago and returned to the high-spirited blond young man he was before.
With the help of this talisman, Clyde seemed to return everything to zero and regained his freedom. He forced his way out of the ghost wave queue and ran wildly along the sixteenth floor.
He never used it when he was trapped in room 201 several times, but now he is about to go to an unknown end point, so he used it.
No one knows whether such a sinful object should appear at this time. It may be unnecessary, or it may have another miraculous effect.
In those windy and rainy days, the blond young man running on the concrete floor reflected the purple talisman in his eyes, recalling the past.
……
On the top of the mountain at dawn, on the green grass.
The old man who had just finished his alcohol-induced madness looked at the blond young man who was about to take part in his fifth job as store manager with drunken eyes and mixed feelings in his heart.
He had a lot to say, but in the end he didn't say anything.
He didn't want to lose this friend any more than Clyde wanted to lose him right now.
Therefore, this old man gave a real life-saving purple talisman at that time, and locked it into Clyde's mind when he was drunk and fell asleep.
"I only have one of this talisman, and even Gu Xingjian doesn't know it. It can help you reset everything when you are in a desperate situation."
Maybe even the veteran himself can’t think of it...
The talisman originally given to Clyde to fight against Gu Xingjian was kept until today, helping him escape to the end of Yu Lao Street.
