Nine thirty o'clock.

It took much longer than expected for the two teams to reunite.

It's only two and a half hours until midnight.

"We're lost...... A-Ning showed an apologetic expression: "It turned out to be a lot more detours." ”

As a result, the two sides exchanged information on their respective gains.

"You mean......" Dong Ning held his chin and thought for a while, then said, "You can see the umbrella holder, but Mr. Lan can't see it?" ”

"I find it puzzling, too." Mr. Lan glanced at A-Ning and said, "I can guarantee that I really didn't see anything at that time. ”

"You didn't see it through your fingers...... What is the principle of the appearance and disappearance of ghosts? Dong Ning always felt that there was some kind of clue that she had ignored, and if she mastered this clue, she might be able to find out something.

There are still two and a half hours, which is not a long time, but it is not a short time. If you don't make good use of this time, the consequences will be dire.

"It seems that there are probably very few people left in the town, otherwise we wouldn't have been gone for so long and not a single person would have been encountered." The more Dong Ning thought about it, the more headaches she had, the time was limited, the intelligence was limited, and in this case, it was too difficult to break the situation.

"I think so, too, it's really troublesome." Ah Ning's mood became more and more anxious: "Or, we can consider if there is any other way to leave Youming Town." ”

Dong Ning didn't think about this, but according to her inference, I'm afraid it's unlikely that she could escape this curse by such means.

"Forget it, let's act together." Dong Ning dismissed the plan to divide the troops into two ways, "I don't believe it, in such a big town, we really can't find the slightest clue." ”

At this time, everyone is helpless, and in the current situation, there is really nothing to do.

"So in which direction are we heading?" A-Ning was also a little out of idea at this time: "We've all walked around here several times. ”

"Head down the secluded laneway." Dong Ning replied: "Before, everyone was afraid to pick a big road, but now try to move towards a narrow and secluded place, maybe there will be some ......."

"Wait!" At this time, Mr. Lan was the first to object: "Are you serious? Wouldn't that be dangerous? ”

"By midnight, we'll probably not even have a chance to take risks."

This sentence is loud and clear, and everyone else admits that it is really only a risk now.

Otherwise, midnight arrives, and no one knows what will happen.

……

This is a relatively narrow laneway.

The roadside is full of one- and two-story houses, and the courtyards of some buildings are quite densely wooded. It looks like it's full of life, in stark contrast to the extremely depressed appearance outside.

The passage of time waits for no one. In the blink of an eye, it was past ten o'clock.

And by this time, there was still no clue.

The only good news is that there have been no new casualties among the four so far.

"The town feels so dead silent that you can't even hear the birds and bugs." In this regard, A-Ning felt extremely uneasy, "At midnight, we still can't find a way out......

"Don't say that until the last minute." Dong Ning didn't think about anything: "Let's just do our best." What's more, it's uncertain what exactly will happen at midnight, worst-case scenario...... Let's try to get out of the town by another way. ”

As they walked, they turned a corner and found that in front of them was a garage where bicycles were parked.

"This ......"

At this moment, Mr. Lan suddenly stopped and stared blankly at the garage where his bicycles were parked.

"What's wrong?" Dong Ning saw his expression and asked, "Do you think we can leave the town by bicycle?" ”

Mr. Lan walked up slowly, and then, a terrifying scene began to appear in his mind.

"Umbrella...... Umbrella ......" he muttered to himself, "...... then"

At this moment, Dong Ning immediately understood!

He remembered something!

She ran up to Mr. Lan almost in an arrow and asked anxiously, "What do you remember?" Tell me! ”

Mr. Lan raised his hand and covered his forehead, and he remembered some images.

Right...... That's it......

It's in this place......

At that time, as soon as he turned around, he saw a person holding a red umbrella and dressed in red...... The man's face was completely obscured by the umbrella, and he walked towards him.

At that time, he felt intense fear and death threats!

"Umbrella...... The woman in red with an umbrella ......" He pointed to a certain location and said, "She saw me!" Then ......"

"And then?"

"And then I ran away desperately......"

Dong Ning and A Ning exchanged glances.

"Do you remember something? Did you see each other through your fingers, or did you? ”

"Yes, it's what I saw directly."

When Mr. Lan was acting with Aning before, Aning could see the umbrella holder, but he couldn't see it. But it can be seen in his memory.

Could it be that you can see the umbrella holder, it's completely random?

There are no rules to speak of?

"I've been running ...... I've been running ...... Keep running ......," Mr. Lan began to speak incoherently, "I don't remember what happened next. ”

Was this what happened before he lost his memory?

"Something is wrong," A-Ning said suddenly, "Before you lost your memory, it wasn't dark yet!" Why do you meet umbrella holders? ”

"I don't remember exactly...... I can't remember if it was day or night......"

Could it be ...... It's also unsafe at dusk when the sun is about to set? At dusk, when the sun is about to be swallowed up by the horizon, the evil spirits have already begun to come out? But because it wasn't completely dark yet, Mr. Lan escaped?

"Anyway, I finally found some clues." Dong Ning pointed around and said, "You walked around, do you remember where you were running at that time?" ”

"Well, I'll take a look."

Mr. Lan's expression had gradually regained his calm, and he followed Dong Ning, A Ning and the man in the middle of the alley to walk around.

"I was ...... It should be in this direction. ”

Mr. Lan pointed to a certain location.

"Is it there?"

Several people moved there, looking at the front of the alleyway, Mr. Lan slowly stretched out a finger.

The alleyway was narrow, lined with a stinky ditch filled with sewage and garbage, and it smelled rather unpleasant.

"Let's go over there and have a look."

Dong Ning could only try as much as possible at this time. This is a breakthrough, and perhaps the memory that Mr. Lan remembers will be very important. Even, she walked at the front of the line.

The man holding the umbrella appeared in front of Mr. Lan, and then he could escape immediately, could it be because it was not dark at that time?

Are these evil spirits, like vampires, afraid of the sun?

Could it be that the purpose of the umbrella is to block the sun's ultraviolet rays?

But if that's just the purpose, why does it have to be a red umbrella?

Especially when Mr. Lan said that the other party was also wearing red clothes, then ...... Could it be that it is the same ghost that I saw before? After all, the ghosts I have seen so far are all dressed differently and have different heights, and most of them are not the same ghosts.

Thinking of this, she quickly turned around, raised her hand, and looked behind her through the gap between her fingers.

There were only A-Ning, Mr. Lan and the first three of the middle division in the back, but Dong Ning was cautious, she also said, "You get out of the way, I'll look behind you." ”

When the three of them heard her say this, they immediately understood that she wanted to detect if there were any ghosts, and immediately got out of the way. Even A-Ning pasted the whole person on top of the stinky ditch, so that Dong Ning could see if there were any ghosts to the greatest extent. And she herself is somewhat timid and doesn't dare to look at it. As for Mr. Lan and Zhongfen, they were also worried and didn't dare to see it for themselves.

Dong Ning took a closer look and made sure that there was no abnormality in the back, so he breathed a sigh of relief and turned around.

A woman dressed in red and holding an umbrella stood straight less than a meter in front of her, and the umbrella ...... You can almost touch the wing of her nose!
