"Time is pressing, if your feet are no longer numb, let's talk about it on the road."

Xiang Nanxing propped himself up and got up from the ground, didn't bother to dust off his body, turned his head and walked towards the door. Ji Fenghua tried to move his feet, and after confirming that it was okay, he hurriedly followed. The two of them went downstairs around the long corridor and left the chemistry building through the main entrance, saying nothing all the way, watching cautiously, naturally to guard against the "magician A" who might not have left.

When he arrived at the door, the first thing Xiang Nanxing did was to squat down and carefully examine the footprints in front of the door. It is difficult to leave footprints on the concrete floor, but if the other party has stepped on the dirt on the way here, it is possible to leave some traces of fresh dirt on it. Xiang Nanxing looked at it quickly and carefully, picked up a small piece of black mud and pinched it on his fingertips, then looked up at the front where the dirt was pointing, and his face suddenly became solemn.

"This direction...... It is a historical building. He jerked to his feet, "The situation is a bit troublesome. ”

"Historic Building?" Ji Fenghua wondered, "It's the location of the 'non-existent staircase', right?" Is there anything special here? ”

"If my speculation is correct, the 'Eye of the Array' is most likely set up there."

In Ji Fenghua's surprised gaze, he took a deep breath, clenched and released his fists, and repeated it twice.

"Although I still feel very scared, I can't go on it." He looked into the distance, "Victory or defeat is here, now it's our turn to chase him - let's think about what to do when we catch up." ”

He was just about to take a step, but he suddenly stopped, turned his head and said hesitantly: "Senior sister, I don't think it's as good as ......"

"No, it's better." Ji Fenghua took the first step earlier than him, "Didn't you say that you were going to explain your guess to me on the way?" I'm still waiting to hear it. ”

She said something like a half-joke, but the expression on her face was clearly written with enlightenment.

"Let's go." "I know how to take care of myself," she said. ”

In the darkness of night, the two men began to run again. Only this time, it was not to run for their lives, but to be the one who was chasing, to catch up with the person who had tried to hunt them.

It's just that none of them noticed that there was a gaze on the high platform in the distance, which had been closely following them since just now, and never left.

"Hmm......"

At this moment, the owner of the gaze was narrowing his eyes and letting out a meaningful sigh.

"I think the historic building is the most likely, and it's actually based on a very bold guess."

While walking briskly, Xiang Nanxing began to explain his thoughts to Ji Fenghua: "Among the seven 'campus incredible', except for the sports warehouse in the middle, which is more special, it can be regarded as an additional reward. The other six are all paired with corresponding weird legends. In my previous explorations, I found traces of human manipulation in five of these places. ”

"The music box in the music building, the footprints in the biology building, the oil paintings and mirrors in the art building and the comprehensive building are painted with dye, and the other side of the chemistry building is a room full of chicken blood...... "Ji Fenghua counted them one by one, "Indeed, if you look at it like this, you can't find anything except in the history building." ”

She frowned: "However, based on this alone, I think that the history building is most likely to hide key clues, wouldn't this be a bit of a bit of a reverse thinking?" ”

"No, it's not about whether or not there was a discovery 'at the time'. It's the 'now' that counts! Xiang Nanxing shook his head, "You have also experienced it with me, although I haven't walked through all five of them, but in the art building and chemistry building we just passed, the situation is different from before." ”

Xiang Nanxing patiently explained: "The oil painting on the side of the art building is still in the state I have seen, but there is an extra blood-stained oil painting next to it. But on the contrary, the chemistry classroom has removed all traces, and when we first entered, there was not even a trace of blood left, so it can be said that it was cleaned quite cleanly. ”

"One is from nothing, the other is from nothing, although I haven't investigated the rest of the places, but I guess that's the rule." Xiang Nanxing said, "I don't think there will be an exception to the historical building. The first stage of 'nothing' is probably to prepare for the changes at this time. ”

"You mean that since these places have changed, according to the same law, the historical building that originally did not have a 'ladder event' should also have a hidden staircase from scratch at this point in time?" Ji Fenghua nodded, "I can accept this reason, but the question is how to do it?" Haven't you also analyzed it before, if you want to create a step out of thin air, you have to carry out a big project. Whether it's making up one more level on the original staircase, or simply making a fake staircase, these are not special effects that can be made in just a short while. ”

"Yes, that's the problem." Xiang Nanxing said, "I used to think that the 'non-existent ladder' could only be a psychological trick, because unlike other mechanisms that are arranged at night and removed in the morning, it is difficult to complete the installation and removal work at the same time in one night, so the project is too big, and it is easy to see the construction process." But what if this time limit is extended? ”

Ji Fenghua was puzzled: "Elongated? ”

"One day, that's probably enough...... No, half a day is fine. There were no classes in the afternoon, and the blockade of the historic building for construction began immediately after the morning classes, and it should be completed by eight or nine o'clock in the evening. Xiang Nanxing muttered, "With those people's skills, it shouldn't be difficult to hide from the school to this extent." ”

"What are you talking about?" Ji Fenghua looked at him confusedly, "It's only been a few hours since you last went to the History Building, what a day or two...... Yes! ”

She stopped abruptly and looked at him dumbfounded: "Do you mean ......?"

"Yes."

Xiang Nanxing said: "Why is the laboratory in the chemistry building kindly tidied up, why does our mobile phone wake up and find that it is out of power, why do you and I always feel inexplicably tired in our bodies, but we can't find the reason?" ”

"Who told you that we were 'just' unconscious for an hour?"

"But this ...... Is it ......?"

Ji Fenghua was still in a state of shock. In this series of rhetorical questions, her mind allowed her to vaguely capture Xiang Nanxing's train of thought, but this guess was too bizarre and too bold, and it was difficult for her to accept emotionally for a while.

"Yes, the answer to all of these questions is: we were stolen for a 'day'. A whole day. Xiang Nanxing said lightly, "If you think about it like this, everything can be explained." ”

"But......" Ji Fenghua's hand unconsciously covered his belly, "If you are really in a coma for a whole day, you should be very hungry!" ”

"Some neurological drugs can temporarily inhibit the conduction of hunger, making people feel empty and full." Xiang Nanxing pressed the position of his stomach, but with a little force, it was seriously sunken in, "You see, in fact, we are indeed in a state of hunger, but if we don't remind ourselves, our body itself can't feel it." Most of the energy we currently have to maintain our activity comes from things like the nutrient solution that we are forced to take during the coma, and once the activity is too intense, the nutrition will not be able to keep up, which is why we will have that kind of fatigue for no reason. Men's metabolism is faster than women's, so I should be a little more tired than you. ”

He motioned for Ji Fenghua to run first, and explained as he ran. Catching up with "Magician A" is the number one priority at the moment, and they must reach the History Building before the other party, at least not too far behind. It's important to communicate the truth, but if you miss the moment by talking about it, that's really bad.

When you think about it, all other doubts are solved. The organizers dealt with the places where the tricks were done, but the lab where you played the prank was not cleaned. The lab desks and chairs we saw were neat and cleaned, which was done by the students who were in class there today. The door lock is handled by the security office after work during the day. So there's nothing unusual about it except for the neatness, and the cleaners aren't careful enough to spot the handbag you've hidden inside the podium. ”

"And cell phones. We just woke up to find that our phone was dead. It might be hard to run out of power if you're only in a coma for half an hour or an hour, but if they have at least twenty-four hours to do so, they can easily use up all of the smartphone's power — watch a video, run a game, or whatever, and you'll be able to do it in a few hours. In addition to preventing us from asking for help, this is also to hide the truth, once the phone can be used, as long as you look at the time and date, the secret here will be immediately revealed. ”

"However, it turns out that our phone is actually broken!" Ji Fenghua remembered the embarrassment of not being able to charge it just now, "It's you who took it apart and looked at it, the circuit board there was seriously burned." At first, we thought it was a lack of power, but in fact it was simply broken. ”

"I'll take it apart because I smelled burnt when I was charging." Xiang Nanxing said with a solemn face, "However, I remember very clearly, I carefully checked my mobile phone in the warehouse, and there was no such smell at that time. In other words......

"In other words, if the phone is destroyed, it can only be after we leave the warehouse and before we enter the lab." Ji Fenghua frowned, "But during this time, we haven't been attacked in any way, right?" Although we encountered 'Magician A', we didn't let him get close to us in the end. ”

"In fact, there may have been an attack that could have destroyed the phone, but it was hard for us to realize it." Xiang Nanxing said, "I have a guess about this, involving the 'Magician A' we met before...... Wait a minute! ”

He stopped abruptly, grabbed Ji Fenghua at the same time, and gestured for her to squat down with him. At the same time, Ji Fenghua also noticed the figure walking in the distance. Even though it was too far away to see the silhouette, the silhouette in the cloak and top hat was so iconic that she recognized it at a glance.

Finally caught up! "Magician A" is right in front of them!
