Chapter 1358 Creaking
Mei Sheng slowly raised her head, her hair was covered with raindrops, her eyes reflected a strange red color, and her aura was a little messy.
In the Yu Lao Street hanging upside down in the sky, there are all kinds of inhumane, weird and cruel scenes.
Its light shrouded the Yulao Street below, implanting scenes of hideous and terrifying projections into this place like an invasion.
The red patterns are engraved on the surface of Hanging Yu Old Street like tattoos. They emit such an eerie red light due to their huge number.
Obviously, these red patterns are the core of this mission.
Mei Sheng observes a single pattern in a more subtle way and traces it carefully.
The red pattern is a handful of objects, about the size of a baby's skull, drawn in one stroke, and the overall shape is an irregular oval.
If you break it down, it can be divided into two parts: "outside the circle" and "inside the circle".
The outside of the circle is the starting point of a stroke. The stroke is more grand, without too many twists and turns, and follows the trend.
In terms of shape alone, it actually looks a bit like a human face, struggling to open its mouth, and you can vaguely see some seven-hole holes squeezed in at the edge.
Inside the circle is where the strokes belong. The strokes are abstract but tortuous, with many bumps and bumps, and even the strokes are almost broken in some places.
Looking at the shape, it's hard to describe what it looks like. It's just that the overall shape is vertical. Perhaps the only feature is that it feels more separated from the outer part of the circle.
In general, describing a red pattern would be extremely abstract and difficult to identify what it is.
However, Mei Sheng always felt that the impression at first sight was lingering, especially after seeing the projection of the severed head at her feet, this feeling became more and more obvious.
The red pattern resembles the expression made by a human face.
But as a living person, her imagination was limited and she couldn't really identify this expression.
Not knowing Lan Yu before, and not seeing the ghost tide afterwards, Mei Sheng could feel that he had entered a very special place, and that something big was about to happen here.
There is Yu Laojie above her head and Yu Laojie at her feet. Although the two are very different, she still has a mysterious feeling.
The seemingly peaceful Yulao Street beneath her feet was a strange place she had never been to before.
Perhaps the purgatory-like upside-down Yu Old Street above her head was where she had been for more than three hours.
The starting point of the eighteenth floor was very ordinary, nothing strange happened, but this time we had to move forward, experience things, and search for clues.
At the very least, she must join up with Lan Yu, otherwise it will be difficult to move here.
But just as she took a step, her feet suddenly stopped again, and she looked up at the upside-down Yu Lao Street and the red patterns reflected on its surface.
After some hesitation, she squatted down, took out the paper, pen and ink from her backpack, and copied a red pattern on the paper with "blood ink" without using a pen.
The paper, pen and ink artifacts came from the painter's mission. She and Jie were the only two survivors, and each brought a set. It was a unique combination of these three items.
The effect is "Using your own blood as ink, you can draw a portrait of a ghost on the drawing paper, and then cause the ghost to 'die' for 3 minutes."
But its price is a painted portrait, which can be snatched and used by ghosts. Once used by ghosts, it will lead to unsolved murder.
Since acquiring this sinful object, Mei Sheng has never actually used it once.
First, this sinful object is too troublesome to use, the prerequisites are extremely demanding, and it takes a long time.
Second, the cost is too high. Although it does not harm oneself, it can easily cause disaster for oneself.
However, Mei Sheng only used blood ink and paper now, and did not use the pen of sinful objects. The purpose was just to copy the red pattern and use it as a backup.
The origin of this red pattern is extraordinary, and it is filled with an extremely evil atmosphere, but it has a strange feeling that it locks the old street upside down, which may provide some hints in the subsequent stages.
Copying the pattern took Mei Sheng nearly ten minutes, but she was unmoved.
When the air around her became colder and colder, she held the quickly drying paper and compared the patterns drawn with her own blood in the sky above.
They are almost identical, exactly the same.
Mei Sheng waited for another two minutes before taking the completely dried pattern paper into his arms and keeping it in order to observe whether any changes occurred.
The result was obviously nothing unusual.
After taking this step, she took steps, but instead of continuing along the eighteenth floor, she turned around and went back.
This place was shrouded in red light hanging upside down on Yu Old Street. She felt extremely uneasy, and the first thing she wanted to do was to meet up with Lan Yu. Regarding this unfamiliar Yu Lao Street, Mei Sheng actually has many things that she wants to explore, such as the mysterious Room 1818.
But she didn't have the confidence to walk alone. The prerequisite for everything was to meet Lan Yu.
Lan Yu arrived here a long time before her, but under normal circumstances, he would have to wait for Mei Sheng to arrive before taking action.
But now that he disappeared, Mei Sheng believed that it must be caused by some kind of force majeure.
So if you look at it broadly, there should be only one place where Lan Yu is most likely to appear - the first floor.
Although Mei Sheng basically didn't leave the house in the first three hours and didn't know what was going on in the outside world, she had seen the walking route of the big-eyed doll.
The first floor, the second floor, the sixth floor...
Comparing the number of people and rooms that have appeared so far, Lan Yu's supernatural room is most likely located on the first floor, but it is not clear which room it is.
And this is the only information Mei Sheng can think of related to Lan Yu.
This walk was still on the narrow staircase of the south building. Mei Sheng did not know the meaning behind this shaky narrow staircase, but she had some guesses.
The exclusive staircase of Gui Chaodeng Tower is slender and narrow, but it does not go to the wide staircase of the east floor, which shows the uniqueness of this place.
There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!
But walking here, Mei Sheng didn't notice anything wrong.
This Yu Lao Street is familiar yet completely unfamiliar. It has been nearly 20 minutes since Mei Sheng came here, and it is still calm and no changes have occurred.
It's just that the strange red light shrouding the top of the head flashes, like the blink of an eye of a ghost, which makes people feel intensely uneasy.
In the lonely Yulao Street, Mei Sheng seemed to have been abandoned by everyone. The dead silence on the floor after floor made her feel an inexplicable emotion.
"It's so empty here..."
There was no breath of living people and no trace of ghosts, but it was completely weird and strange.
"Creak..."
"Creak..."
The closer she got to the first floor, the more subtle sounds Mei Sheng could hear. This was the first time she heard other sounds besides her own footsteps.
The sound sounded like someone was sawing wood with a saw, or like someone grinding their teeth in sleep. It was creepy.
Mei Sheng didn't know about Lan Yu's supernatural events, but from the time they met him, it seemed that his supernatural powers were different from others, or even very little.
Putting her hands on the rain-soaked stairs, she turned her head to look at the source of the sound.
It was a dilapidated shop that looked very dim in the red light. The waste and garbage inside flooded the darkness, giving off a smell of abandonment and decay.
There seemed to be something vaguely hidden in the half-collapsed load-bearing wall. A vague shadow stood in the shadow like a sculpture, extremely blurry.
Mei Sheng squinted her eyes and walked into the rain. Her vision was wet, but as the distance went by, the shadow became clearer and clearer.
"Creak, creak..."
The sound of grinding things was extremely clear, as if it was about to succeed.
That was a person, Mei Sheng thought so at first. After a few more steps, she became more certain of this and thought it was an acquaintance - Lan Yu.
Wearing a dusty coat, the skin on the back of his neck is fair, and there is some leakage on his lower body, and his body is shaking and rubbing against something.
"What is he grinding on?"
Mei Sheng stopped in front of Shop 101, and did not dare to get close. Instead, he slowly moved his steps, got into Room 102, and found a side position.
The broken wall of the dilapidated house blocked the strange red light. She aimed her eyes at the fist-sized hole and peered at Lan Yu in Room 101 from the side.
Now approaching the position, the sound of grinding things was almost deafening, and she finally saw the front of Lan Yu.
"Boom!"
A crack of thunder shattered the "crack" sound, and the intervention of lightning temporarily blocked the red light, illuminating Lan Yu's hands and also illuminating Mei Sheng's rarely frightened face.
Lan Yu's left hand was holding his own head, and his right hand was holding a saw blade to polish the broken cervical vertebrae, as if to narrow it and reposition the head!
And with every tremor of his body, a horrifying "creak" would be emitted from the severed neck.
