If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, whoever told Anin that the shadow could manipulate human actions in turn, she wouldn't have believed it. This is not a science fiction movie, how could such a bizarre thing happen?

Now, she couldn't speak, and her hands and feet were not at her disposal, and the process was as if she had completely become a marionette.

In the blink of an eye, forty minutes passed.

It's past eight o'clock in the evening.

The night is darker.

There are less than four hours left until midnight.

And they, apparently, will not be able to leave this town again.

Finally......

When they reached the door of the original Internet café, the shadow's manipulation finally stopped.

"Huh? I...... I can move! ”

"Yes! I can finally speak! ”

"What was that? What's going on here? ”

Dong Ning's first reaction was to immediately rush to the eaves of the Internet café, if he stood in the moonlight, the shadow would shine out again.

Seeing Dong Ning's movements, the others also did the same, and only after making sure that there was no shadow under their feet did they breathe a sigh of relief.

"Is there any way to leave this town without leaving a shadow on the ground?" A-Ning looked at the moon in the night sky and said, "Shadow...... If the shadow can be hidden......"

"There are ghosts! There must be ghosts! Mr. Lan pointed to the ground in a panic and said, "The shadow is alive, it's alive!" ”

"They just keep us from leaving town." Dong Ning could barely keep calm at this time, and analyzed carefully: "If you want to kill us, it's too easy, just manipulate us to commit suicide." ”

"Then this is going to torture us and kill us slowly?" The man in the middle also began to panic at this time: "This shadow...... How can the shadow be shaken off? If we can't get out of town, won't we be dead? ”

"Calm down!"

Dong Ning also knows that it is not realistic to calm down the people around her at this time, and at this time, as the backbone of this temporary team, she must not be chaotic in the first place, so that the emotions of others can calm down little by little. Otherwise, people's hearts will be confused, and the team will be difficult to lead.

"Let's make assumptions first......" Dong Ning didn't wait for others to answer, he stretched out a finger, to calm them down, they must not empty their teeth, they have to say a reasonable and well-founded opinion: "Why do we lose our memory?" Assuming that the curse is the cause, then perhaps there is a key to fighting the curse in our lost memories. ”

When he couldn't figure out all the ins and outs, Dong Ning could only replace all the supernatural phenomena that were currently happening with the word "curse". After all, the phenomenon in front of us is difficult to explain with human common sense.

"What do you mean......" A-Ning immediately understood: "Miss Dong, if we can retrieve our memories, can we solve the current deadlock?" ”

"I think it's highly likely. Until now, once we get close to the truth, we have always been stopped by a strange force. The video in that USB flash drive, if played in its entirety, may be able to know what will happen in this town at night on this particular day. It's midnight......"

"Restrictions lifted...... A-Ning said these four words at this time: "I was also scared when I was manipulated by the shadow just now, and at that time I was thinking about what would happen if I stayed like this until midnight, and then I thought of these four words." ”

Restrictions lifted?

Dong Ning thought for a while and said, "That...... You mean, it has something to do with midnight? Do you remember? ”

Mr. Lan was the most excited, grabbed A-Ning, and shouted anxiously: "What do you remember?" Say it! Otherwise we will die! ”

The middle head was not much better, he was also very excited: "Say it quickly!" What else do you think! Is there any way to unravel this shadow curse? Is this shadow really alive? ”

"I ...... I don't know! I only think of these four words! A-Ning was caught off guard and said: "It feels like a deep memory in the brain, and it suddenly pops up automatically, and now I can't remember what the hell is going on......"

"Think again!" Nakafen said eagerly: "Recall carefully! ”

"Don't get so excited!" Dong Ning walked up, stopped Mr. Lan and Zhongfen from persecuting A-Ning, and said: "She herself must want to think of it the most, but if she only thinks about these things until now, she can't think of more." Why don't you try to recall, do you have any impressions of the lifting of restrictions? ”

Lifting ...... restrictions Midnight......

Dong Ning began to calculate in her heart what these words meant.

The people of the town are afraid of the night, and it seems that the fear of midnight is even deeper.

"There must be some reason!"

Lifting ...... restrictions

That's going to be when something horrible happens.

What could it be?

The extent of the curse? Shadow changes? Or is it the aggressiveness of the red umbrella man?

"It may be that some kind of restriction on this curse will be lifted at midnight." A-Ning made his own inference: "But what it is, I'm still confused. ”

"That's all you know?" However, the head of the middle division showed a skeptical expression: "Have you really lost your memory?" Or do you think of something from time to time, just like squeezing toothpaste? How come we don't remember anything? ”

"Enough!" Dong Ning said coldly: "When is it, we can't fight among ourselves!" We must find a way to retrieve our memories before midnight, find a way to leave this town, or undo the curse! ”

Less than four hours is not too long, but not too short.

But no matter what, it's hope.

And she also realized a very important thing, in these four hours, it will definitely not be spent so peacefully, and something quite terrifying will definitely happen. It was the only thing she could think of right now.

Dong Ning pondered for a while......

"We keep walking around this town! Someone must still be left in this town! As long as you can find someone, you may be able to find an important clue! ”

He grabbed his hair and said, "That's all it can be." There's always a clue...... Right? ”

But then, looking at the moonlight outside, he said, "Let's try to move in the shadows as much as possible, so as not to be cast shadows again." ”

"In this way, we will go our separate ways." Dong Ning said: "Two by two, each group is a man and a woman, which can save some time." An hour later, no matter what the result was, they all gathered here to report on their gains. ”

"That'...... If you divide into two groups......"

"So be it." Dong Ning looked at Zhongfen and said, "I'll act with you, Mr. Lan, you and A-Ning will act together." We searched from different directions. It's not just about finding out if there's anyone in the town, it's about seeing if there's any more clues. When you walk, you look around and you may think of something! ”
