Chapter 8: 1 Second
It was all dark, with no beginning or end, just a faint glow of fire floating. The firelight wrapped around a round stopwatch the size of a fist, and the sound of "tick-tock" wafted through the dark passage.
"Tear~" Yang Jun tore open the shredded paper wrapped around his body, and the pieces of paper burned and fell down. Yang Jun hurriedly rushed to Yang Tian's side, the hot black left hand rubbed against him, and the pieces of shredded paper that couldn't be torn off by his right hand burned under his left hand and finally turned into a pile of paper ashes.
Yang Tian's figure has gradually been revealed, but the time displayed on the stopwatch is not much, 3 seconds, 2 seconds, 1 second stopwatch. Yang Jun was already so tired that he sat down on the ground, he gasped heavily, and finally saved Yang Tian with his struggle, and the time before the end of a second was over, sweat sliding down his forehead.
"Huh?" Yang Tian woke up faintly, and he slowly opened his closed eyes, and there was darkness in his eyes, as well as Yang Jun's concerned face.
Also, on the wall behind Yang Jun, the black tongue that slowly drooped, and the tip of the tongue was about to touch Yang Jun's head. Yang Tian jumped up violently: "Jun, be careful of those tongues"
He was still too late to remind, the long black tongue that hung down had already wrapped around Yang Jun's neck, and then another one stretched out out of nowhere to wrap around his body, and his two arms were tightly buckled against the wall and couldn't move.
It turned out that Yang Tian just now was not unconscious because of those pieces of paper, but these long black tongues in front of him, Yang Jun didn't notice the faces pasted on the wall because he was eager to save people. Instead, I was attracted by those scraps of paper floating out of nowhere, and this is why I am now trapped by those black tongues.
"Yang Tian, run away" Yang Jun just tried to break those tongues with his left hand, but they were wet and slippery wrapped around his body, and they were very tough, and they couldn't be broken by force at all.
The black tongue trapped around his neck was slowly tightening, the suffocation sensation impacted his consciousness, and his tongue was stretching outward, as if it would soon become as long as these black tongues, and then stretched down and licked the air in the darkness under the command of others.
", tell me to leave at this time, you cheer me up." Yang Tian was still holding the military dagger tightly in his hand, and the long black tongues that stretched out couldn't go under his knife for a round. The tips of the severed tongues wriggled on the ground like dead earthworms, and they could get up and stick to their bodies at any time.
"Quack~"
There were more and more faces on the wall, and there were more and more long black tongues, no matter how Yang Tian cut them, new tongues would continue to stick out, although he was only two steps away from Yang Jun. But in these two steps, he has not been able to take half a step until now, let alone go over to rescue Yang Jun.
He had to stick to the faceless wall, which avoided the fate of the enemy on his back, but also greatly reduced his room for movement. It was a difficult thing to fight in this dark alley where one person was wide, but now you have to face a tongue sticking out from the darkness around you. Concerned about Yang Jun's safety, he gradually made a flaw.
"Nima, let you go" Yang Jun said with difficulty, he saw that Yang Tian had also been entangled in those tongues, this time the two of them were planted here.
"Heh~" Yang Tian smiled bitterly, and he didn't know whether he regretted staying or failed to save Yang Jun, the dagger had already fallen from his hand and made a crisp sound. He was now trapped on the wall, just like Yang Jun, his long black tongue tightly strangled his neck and body.
Looking at Yang Jun, there was only one face left in the air, and only long black strips were squirming in other places.
"Green Frost"
"What?"
Both of them were stunned, Lu Qingshuang's body actually stretched out from the black wall, pink cheeks, bright red lips, and there was no trace of other emotions. The only difference was that her eyes were filled with tears, and she was holding a sharp knife that shone with cold light.
"Qingshuang, you" Before Yang Jun finished speaking, the sharp knife had already pressed against those long black tongues, and slowly stabbed into his right chest.
"Poof" A mouthful of blood sprayed on Lu Qingshuang's wrist, Yang Jun's face turned white, he could clearly see the tears left in the corners of Lu Qingshuang's eyes, he could feel the reluctance when the knife stabbed in, she was controlled.
Lu Qingshuang seemed to be trying her best to control her body, her hands were trembling slightly, she seemed to want to let go of the hand holding the hilt of the knife, but in the darkness she stretched out a hand at the same time. It went around Lu Qingshuang's body, and then held it tightly in her hand holding the sharp knife, as if someone was standing behind Lu Qingshuang and quietly watching all this happen, that person might be licking his lips and enjoying the beauty of the blood about to spurt.
"Ah~"
"Jun"
Yang Jun screamed, the sharp knife in his chest was pulled out fiercely, and another mouthful of blood spurted out, and the position of his right chest was also flowing with bright red blood. Yang Jun himself couldn't tell whether it was the smell of blood or paper ash in his mouth, and just now when Yang Jun screamed, the hand stuffed a ball of black shredded paper into his mouth, which caused him to lose even the right to scream.
He squinted his eyes and looked behind Lu Qingshuang, but no matter how he looked at it, it was just a pitch-black wall, and he couldn't see any figure, and the hand and Lu Qingshuang were also part of the body sticking out of the wall. Lu Qingshuang's lower body was still in the wall, and only the upper half of his body was exposed to attack him.
Yang Jun's consciousness had already begun to blur, seeing that the knife was about to stab him again, this time it was directly aimed at his heart, if he didn't find a way to get out of trouble, he would really be killed by Lu Qingshuang by mistake.
Suddenly, he suddenly remembered why the stopwatch hanging in mid-air was moving at first, but after he saved Yang Tian, it stopped at the position for a second, neither moving nor disappearing. Just suspended in their original position, is it just to let the time return to 0 before they can be rescued.
Yang Jun strengthened his spirit, the stopwatch was not too far from his position, if it wasn't for those black tongues wrapped around his arm, he could reach the stopwatch hanging in the air with a gentle reach.
"Huh?" Just when Yang Jun thought that he was completely helpless, he found that the black tongue that had been wrapped around his arm around his body seemed to be a little loose, and then he saw that when Lu Qingshuang's sharp knife stabbed into his right chest just now, several tongues had been cut off, and only half of the remaining tongues had been cut off.
Fight it! He moved his left hand, and seeing that the sharp knife in Lu Qingshuang's hand had already stabbed at the position of the heart, Yang Jun violently snapped off the only remaining half of the black tongue. The old man with his left hand stretched out, but unfortunately his body couldn't move, and his neck was still tightly strangled by someone else's tongue.
It's a pity that his hand has been stretched out, and he still can't touch the stopwatch hanging in the air, and the distance is only one or two centimeters away.
But the sharp knife was already less than ten centimeters from his chest, and suddenly, there was a familiar suction in his left hand, and then there was something more in his hand.
"Bell~"
"Tick~"
Everything seemed to be quiet, Yang Jun stood in place stunned, everything was both real and false, if it weren't for the fact that his chest was still bleeding; If it weren't for the fact that he was still holding a stopwatch with a sharp knife in his hand, then all this was really just illusory.
At the last moment, the power of Yang Jun's left arm saved his life, and the stopwatch jumped the last second after blocking Lu Qingshuang's knife, and when the time became 0, everything quickly faded, and the black tongue wrapped around them had disappeared.
"Jun, it's good that you found out that there is something wrong with this stopwatch, otherwise we would all die here." Yang Tian ran over and helped Yang Jun, Lu Qingshuang had already disappeared, and the small door appeared in front of them again, and there was a dim light outside. But it looks much safer than this dark alley.
Walking out of the small door, it was still the weird wreath shop, the strange thing was that the paper figures that were originally full seemed to be much less, but at the moment it was so normal, there was still no one in the store. They were back on the main road, and by this moment the sky was slightly white, and the sun was showing half of their cheeks from the east.
The two of them took a deep breath, feeling like they were reincarnated, but when they looked back at the wreath shop, their faces changed again. The 24-hour sign was gone again, and there was a man busy at the door of the wreath shop, a man who looked a little fat, and the flesh on his body was still shaking and beating in the sunlight.
Yang Jun and Yang Tian looked at each other very tacitly, and each saw the shock in each other's eyes, and they walked towards the man.
"Excuse me, who are you?" Yang Jun was injured and it was inconvenient to speak, so Yang Tian opened his mouth to ask.
"Ah, you two are going to buy something so early? But I'm a wreath shop, not a breakfast shop. The fat man thought there was business coming to his door, but when he turned around, he saw two big boys who looked like students.
"Ahem, are you the boss here? What about the original middle-aged man here, who was very thin, and an old man and an old woman? ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as Yang Jun's words were finished, the fat man looked at the two of them with wide eyes and horror, but his next words made Yang Jun and the two fall into fear. "How do you know, those three people were the original owners of this wreath shop, but they had died in a car accident when they went to the funeral home to deliver paper people a year ago. It's miserable, the corpse was crushed by the steamroller along with the paper man, mixed together, and it can't be separated, and now I'm opening this shop, you"
Both of them were silent, cold sweat sliding down their foreheads, and when they looked up at the small door they had come out of, there was only a smooth wooden wall.
