Chapter 19: Approaching Midnight
Dong Ning only felt that his breathing stopped at this moment, and he didn't even react for a whole second!
When people are really afraid, they are not screaming loudly, but they are unbelievable and caught off guard by reality, and they don't even have time to react normally.
Fortunately, Dong Ning quickly turned around and said, "Run!" ”
This word instantly made the three people behind understand that she must have seen something terrifying, and they immediately stopped hesitating, and turned around and ran wildly!
After running in the alley for a long time, the four of them got lost.
Dong Ning turned her head and opened her fingers to look, but there was nothing behind her.
"Didn't catch up......" She breathed a sigh of relief for a moment, but her heart was still beating hard.
The others looked at Dong Ning's expression, and their faces were also quite ugly.
"Is it the umbrella guy again?" Ah Ning grabbed Dong Ning's hand and asked, "Is it the same as before?" ”
"Yes......" Dong Ning took a deep breath, still covering the hand in front of him with open fingers, and said, "Red clothes and red umbrellas...... It was definitely a woman, just standing straight in front of me......"
A-Ning felt that Dong Ning's hand was still trembling violently at this time. How scared she was, naturally, can be imagined. Although she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she could fully imagine what the horrific images she had seen had looked like.
……
Under the cover of night, the aura of terror began to spread.
Everyone knows very well that time is passing bit by bit, and when midnight comes, something terrible will happen.
And the unknown is the real horror.
"Let's try again."
It was almost eleven o'clock.
Time was of the essence, so I took a small and easy-to-carry clock from the Internet café.
And at present, the four of them still have nothing. Wandering around the town, their physical strength and energy began to drain, not to mention hunger and thirst, and tiredness and drowsiness continued to ravage them.
And the memory ...... There is still no sign of recovery.
Aning eventually came up with an idea.
"What are you talking about?" Dong Ning had already guessed what she wanted to say.
"Try to get out of town in the other direction, maybe the Shadow Curse won't be activated again." A-Ning didn't really want to choose this path, but he really didn't have time at the moment, "We have no other way." ”
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and finally their eyes converged on Dong Ning.
"That'...... Dong Ning, what do you think? Zhongfentou couldn't get an idea, so he decided to ask Dong Ning's opinion.
As for Mr. Lan, he has never had any opinions, so he simply did not speak on this issue.
Dong Ning sighed.
"Then give it a try."
Reason told itself that it would most likely not succeed in doing so, but it was already eleven o'clock. There was only an hour left at midnight, and in such a short time, she had no confidence at all that she could find new clues.
Obviously, if there are any remnants of the town, they must be extremely rare.
"Let's go."
In desperation, Dong Ning could only make this decision.
An hour, plus the physical strength of several people has been seriously depleted, whether they can successfully leave Youming Town before midnight has become a problem. However, there is no other way for the time being.
Of course, Dong Ning has not completely given up hope, and maybe on the way out of the town, there may be anything else to discover.
Other than that, I can't think of a better way to do it for the time being.
So, the four of them moved in the direction of the mountain in the distance. Now, just hope you can come across some unlocked bikes on the road. But now it seems unrealistic.
Dong Ning was worried at this time, the more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt, I was afraid that even if she could walk outside the town at midnight, the curse of the shadow would be activated again. On top of that, under the condition of being cursed by the shadow, he can't move freely at all. At that time, I was afraid that I would fall into an even more desperate situation.
I don't know how long I walked, but at this moment, the four of them walked into the narrow alleyway again. This is also a rather helpless thing, after all, they want to go the nearest straight distance.
Just when they reached the corner of an alleyway, the four people just turned the corner and saw it......
Just ahead, there was a hidden door.
Seeing that the door in front of him was not locked, Dong Ning immediately had a reaction, could it be ...... Who's in here?
Dong Ning immediately rushed to the door, through the crack in the door, grabbed his face with his hand and opened his fingers to look at it......
There was no one inside.
Little by little, she pushed the door open......
A few people from behind also came over. 、
"Dong Ning, let's leave as soon as possible." A-Ning said: "In the current situation of this town, it is normal for someone to leave without locking. After all, almost all the people of the town were evacuated within a day. ”
"Yes...... Maybe so, but I'd like to take a gamble. Or you go first, and I'll catch up. ”
Dong Ning pushed the door open little by little.
During this process, she was also quite nervous.
It's getting closer and closer to midnight. To be honest, everyone is actually very clear that if you want to leave before midnight, I am afraid that there is not much hope, and even if you can arrive, you will most likely be brought back by the shadow curse.
Therefore, everyone is betting in their hearts that when it reaches midnight, nothing will really happen that will kill them. After all, this town is so big, even if it is really haunted, it will not be dangerous to hide in every corner, right?
However, Dong Ning has always been unwilling to gamble with his life. She can't afford to lose!
She walked into the room and slowly walked inside.
A-Ning looked at her, gritted her teeth, and suddenly walked in.
"You ......" Zhong Zhong was stunned, grabbed A-Ning, and said, "You...... You are crazy? ”
"Maybe that's all there really is."
Aning didn't say anything more, but walked into the house.
Zhongfen glanced back at Mr. Lan, he always felt that if he let two women go in and take risks, and one of his men escaped, it was too much to say.
"Why don't you go in together?" He said to Mr. Lan, "Anyway, it's probably impossible to really leave this town before midnight." ”
Mr. Lan was silent, didn't say anything, and walked in with him.
Going deep into the room, Dong Ning came to a room, and then slowly opened the door.
Immediately afterward, she saw an amazing scene.
A man, who was tied to a chair, appeared to be in a coma. And above his head, a red umbrella is also tied!
