Chapter Seventy-One: Regression

Qin Nianbing looked at him with complicated eyes.

Of course, she knew that Duan Xu was deliberately losing.

It's just that...... Why did he take such care of himself, and what should he do about his own safety?

"Bang-"

The moment Duan Xu stepped out of the door of the inn, the door slammed shut again.

Duan Xu's figure disappeared completely, and Qin Nianbing ran to the window to look out, and he couldn't see him at all.

Qin Nianbing turned his head and suddenly found ...... The men in the room were looking at her strangely.

They...... It doesn't have to be human, either.

This thought suddenly appeared in Qin Nianbing's mind.

The more she thought about it, the more strange the atmosphere in this room became.

No, even if they weren't humans, they wouldn't be able to directly harm me, otherwise they would have already done something to Duan Xu and me just now...... Qin Nianbing subconsciously clenched his fists, and his gaze gradually sharpened.

Duan Xu is very dangerous now, and the only thing that can help him now is to find the woman who doesn't know where to hide.

As for the men in front of them...... If they weren't ghosts, but they dared to show such dangerous eyes to themselves, she would definitely make them regret it.

……

Duan Xu didn't have the habit of going out at night.

In fact, he had always been a good boy in the eyes of his parents, and he had never done such a thing as wandering the road at midnight.

This time it set a precedent.

Qin Nianbing guessed correctly, Duan Xu did it on purpose.

Because...... He was already vaguely aware of the purpose of the inn's existence.

He deliberately lost because he wanted to test his ideas.

At least...... He can also use the knot to save his life for the time being.

Walk backwards, five minutes.

This is a requirement of the punishment task, and Duan Xu does not intend to disobey this.

The fate of the fourth is in sight, there is no need to try again.

But it's up to you to decide which way to go backwards.

Without any hesitation, Duan Xu faced the direction in which the road had come, and began to walk backwards on the road.

This picture is very eerie, wilderness, moonlit night, a man walking backwards on the road.

If there were other people in this world, it would probably be scared out of the psychological shadow by this scene.

Duan Xu's gaze looked straight ahead, fortunately...... This highway is straight, and the surroundings are very quiet, only Duan Xu is alone on the entire highway, and the footsteps that chased him and Qin Nianbing before are gone.

It's been a minute......

Terror comes from the unknown.

When Duan Xu's gaze focused on the direction he came, his worry about his back finally began to deepen.

Duan Xu faintly felt that every time he took a step back, there would be some gasps in his ears.

But when he listened, he couldn't notice it.

It's weird......

There was nothing on the way I came, so what about the direction I am going backwards now?

Duan Xu's hand had already pinched the red doll and was ready to use it at any time.

A terrible chill appeared strangely around his neck, like a night wind that had inadvertently penetrated in, and like a ...... Something was blowing behind him.

Duan Xu's heartbeat gradually accelerated, and although his brain remained absolutely calm, his body's reaction still appeared naturally.

He will be afraid, and he will be afraid.

Suddenly...... Duan Xu realized a problem.

Walking backwards for five minutes, that is, ...... It's not that you can't look back?

As soon as this thought appeared, it was like a maggot on the tarsal bone that frantically wrapped around Duan Xu's heart.

Let's go back...... Take a look back.

Just see what it is, and you won't be afraid anymore......

Do you want to turn back?

Duan Xu is not a hesitant person.

He quickly made the decision to turn back!

Under the miserable white moonlight, Duan Xu slowly turned his head on the highway and looked in the direction he was heading backwards.

appeared......

Sure enough, there is "something" there.

Behind him, in the direction he was heading, there was a section of the road with street lights on.

Duan Xu saw ...... Something was standing under that lamp, like a man?

He is standing in a very strange way, obviously with his chest facing forward, but the soles of his feet seem to be facing backwards?

His upper and lower bodies seem to be reversed......

Just as Duan Xu saw it for the first time, it suddenly twitched, trembled violently, and then moved.

Duan continued to stare at it...... It is about fifty meters away from the section.

It moves in a strange way, like the upper body wants to go forward and the lower body wants to go backwards.

As a result, it wasn't moving fast, but it was slowly approaching the continuum.

Duan Xu himself was also moving towards it involuntarily.

Although Duan Xu had changed his backward steps to almost moving, it still couldn't stop the distance between him and it from gradually narrowing.

If you meet, you will die......

Duan Xu was clearly aware of this.

He let out a slow breath of cloudy air, his brain thinking wildly.

There are still more than three minutes left, and even if you walk slowly with it, you can meet it in a short distance of fifty meters.

kept turning his head to observe it behind him, making Duan Xu's neck gradually stiffen.

He twisted back and moved his neck, then looked back again to see that it was no longer where it had been.

Duan Xu was shocked in his heart, and after taking a closer look, the ghost with the opposite upper body and lower body ...... It's only about thirty meters away from him!

Duan Xu could be sure that he had only turned his head back to move for a second or two, but in this short second or two, the ghost had moved twenty meters rapidly!

Good perverted speed......

Can't let it out of my sight anymore.

Duan Xu's forehead was slightly sweaty, and he felt the threat of death.

Even if there is a knot, the number of days of life will not last for three minutes, and if he doesn't think of a way to break the game, he will still be killed by this ghost.

What to do......

One person and one ghost, all close to each other.

Gradually, its face gradually changed from blurry to clear.

It is emaciated and tall, and wears a tattered old black suit.

Its eyes were as big as two ping-pong balls, bulging into their sockets, not full of malice like the previous ghosts, and there was no emotion in its eyes that were so much whiter.

But...... As it got closer to Duan Xu, its mouth seemed to grow larger...... From the state of being closed at the beginning, now it is grinning to the corners of the mouth, almost to the height of the nose.

There are still three minutes left in the five-minute punishment time, and the distance between it and itself is less than twenty meters......

Calm and observant...... There must be a way to crack it.

Duan continued to stare at it, countless thoughts already flashing through his mind.

He has not forgotten that this is a symmetrical world......

……

Where is she?

Qin Nianbing frowned, his gaze swept over the entire room.

The eyes of the six men were full of strange emotions, but they didn't act on them.

Symmetry...... The only thing in this room that has no symmetry is it.

Qin Nianbing looked at it several times, but still fell on the pendulum clock on the wall.

Unravel its secrets, can you find her hiding in the shadows and rescue Duan Xu?

Qin Nianbing didn't know, but she could only do it like this......
