Chapter 11: The Corridor That Seals the Ghost?

Liancheng thinks that if he has any specialties of his own, it is ...... Extremely accurate second counting.

This stems from a blood-lettered instruction he and Iyu had previously performed, the Curse of Time. As we all know, time is a key element of blood indication, and it is necessary to arrive at the designated place before the specified time, and similarly, only after the specified time of the blood letter can you escape from the designated place.

That time, the strange change of blood and time caused Liancheng to constantly count the seconds, and in the end, he actually learned to read the seconds accurately.

Even without looking at his watch, he counts the seconds with great accuracy! In the past, before Western painting, he relied on this ability to calculate the time interval.

As soon as he saw the two clothes, he began to count the seconds and kept running towards the back. Although I don't know exactly when the ghost was sealed inside the clothes, I roughly calculated that it would not be less than fifteen seconds!

Two hundred meters, at Liancheng's current speed, to run completely, it will be close to thirty seconds at least, this is still when he is running desperately, after all, the consumption of physical strength is there.

In this huge white labyrinth, most corridors will have several branches at the end, and of course there will be only one turning passage, but this is relatively rare.

Liancheng ran into one of the forks in the road at this moment, and he didn't relax at the moment!

After all, there are two ghosts! That is, it is possible to chase him separately! In that case, he must not let up in the slightest!

The corridor where you can seal the ghost into your clothes is a very important clue for Liancheng!

However, the length and width of the corridor are obviously no different from those of ordinary corridors. What in particular? Left? Or is it ...... Moreover, how many such corridors exist in the labyrinth? If you don't know the characteristics and distribution rules, this way of life won't help! You can't get in by luck!

The most important question is...... How do I find that room? Can you really find the entrance to that room in the labyrinth, as Cha Ji-bin said? What if this labyrinth was purely used to torture them? If you stay in this labyrinth, you will die sooner or later!

However, now, Liancheng can't think about this, because the ghost may chase after him!

Running into a new corridor, he was already out of breath, and at this time, he felt like his body was about to fall apart if he took a slight step. After all, the physical strength is almost at the limit.

He turned around, and there was no movement behind him.

"For the time being...... Rest...... Let's take a look. ”

It is estimated that the possibility of the ghost catching up is relatively low. But he didn't dare to lie down, and kept an eye on the end of the corridor in front of and behind.

Using his precious time, he began to think about how to find the kind of corridor that could restrain ghosts just now.

Is that corridor just now always restrained, or can one end of it be restrained? Or is there a special trigger?

Although Lian Cheng thought about it carefully, he also knew that his IQ was still too far behind Li Yin's ratio after all, not to mention, Li Yin was also calm enough and his psychological quality was very amazing, which was also one of the reasons why he was able to successfully carry out the blood letter instructions repeatedly.

And Liancheng couldn't be as calm as Li Yin, and his heart was still covered with fear at the moment.

After a while, he was almost sure that the two ghosts had lost him. However, even this should not let our guard down. There are countless more such ghosts in this labyrinth.

Liancheng continued to walk towards the front, and with each step, he kept looking behind him. To be honest, walking through this eerie, utterly quiet labyrinth is nothing short of tremendous psychological torture.

The time was approaching three o'clock.

There are still three hours to go.

It was probably the last three hours of his life. After surviving these three hours without dying, he can leave that apartment forever! However, if he can't survive, this hellish castle is where he will be buried!

Three hours, in such a labyrinth, surviving three hours, even the city feels impossible.

The further back the apartment goes, the less restrictions on ghosts will become. And...... The most terrifying existence in this ancient castle, the Demon King, is definitely not an existence that he can shake!

Without Li Yin and Silver Night, without the Hell Contract, if you want to live...... The only way to find that room is to move the coffin!

That's the only way to go!

Although it is difficult to imagine that the real life path hint will be written so prominently on the back of the ticket, however, the difficulty of the Demon King-level blood letter indication is inherently against the sky, and perhaps to achieve this, it is necessary to break through countless traps and then reach the room.

All the way down, Western paintings, black-robed people, hanging trees, mazes, ...... There may be more traps to follow, and then you have to find the survival of these traps one by one before you can finally reach that room.

Coming to the end of the corridor in front, there are only two forks in the road this time. The two forks are in opposite directions, one to the left and one to the right.

To be honest, Liancheng really didn't understand why the special corridor just now could seal the ghost. What makes it different? No matter how you look at it, it's an ordinary hallway.

If you don't have any characteristics, how can you tell which path is the right one?

And, what is the distribution of such roads?

This suddenly reminded Liancheng of a movie he had watched before, called "Panic Fang". It's about a group of people who wake up and find themselves in a huge labyrinth of countless cube rooms. Regardless of whether you are facing up, down, east, south, west and north, you can only enter the same cube room.

However, not all cube rooms are safe. There is a section of the room with deadly traps. Once you step into those rooms, you will be in a desperate situation and will be brutally killed by traps. And only by mastering certain rules of the room can we know which rooms have traps and which ones don't.

This movie was watched by Liancheng five years ago, and the memory is already a little blurry. However, the cube rooms in the movie left a very deep impression on him. He vaguely remembered that in the movie, he relied on mathematics to solve the mystery of the room.

That...... Could this labyrinth be similar to the cube room in that movie? Certain hallways, like rooms with traps?

Liancheng's math grades are not good, he is good at planning and design, so after graduating from college, he was in charge of wedding planning in a wedding company, and he met Yi Ying. He basically returned all the knowledge of mathematics to the teacher.

He could only bite the bullet and think about how the distribution of that corridor was in the beginning...... Is it a problem of algebra, or is it a problem of geometry? For example, if the hallway is a room after the first few turns, is it singular or plural? Or does the corridor need to be parallel to the other corridors, perpendicular or something?

There are so few clues. It would be nice if Li Yin was here...... Even if Cha Ji-bin is here. That fraudster might be able to see the pattern!

At this time, Cha Zhibin was also walking in a corridor with Zhao Wulie.

"Finally got rid of that guy." Zhao Wulie panted and said, "Mr. Che, we ...... now"

The two of them came to a fork in the road, which was a standard crossing.

"Stop." Che Zhibin grabbed Zhao Wulie and whispered: "Don't stand at the fork in the road, the danger of being discovered will expand many times." ”

Zhao Wulie nodded hurriedly.

Cha Zhibin leaned his body against the wall, leaned his head slightly, and looked at the fork in the road on the left and right.

Their corridor here has also been expanded to be 200 meters long.

"There are no ghosts." Cha Jibin turned around and said, "Let's go this way." There are more forks over there. ”

"Hmm." Zhao Wulie nodded and immediately followed.

"You keep an eye on the back at all times," Cha Jibin said calmly, "I pay attention to the front." ”

Both of them walked at a fast pace, but they didn't dare to go too fast, for fear that the footsteps would be too loud.

Just as he was about to reach the end of the corridor, Cha Zhibin suddenly stopped, immediately turned around, and made a shushing gesture to show Zhao Wulie.

"How...... What's wrong? Zhao Wulie hurriedly lowered his voice to the softest and asked, "Is it ......?"

Then, at the fork in front, the fork on the left, there was the sound of footsteps! It's just that the footsteps walked slowly, so at first, only Cha Zhibin heard it.

"Go back." Cha Ji-bin had already begun to retreat as he spoke. Listen to the footsteps, it's close!

Zhao Wulie immediately turned around the moment he heard the footsteps, and Cha Zhibin also immediately turned around and ran.

Then, the footsteps rang out behind me!

Cha Zhibin has even accelerated the speed! Run towards the fork in the road ahead!

Definitely seen!

"Let's part!"

He ran to Zhao Wulie's side and said it briefly, but his speed surpassed Zhao Wulie's.

When you are seen, you can only survive by running separately! When the corridor is extended, this becomes the only way to live!

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Cha Zhibin and Zhao Wulie tried their best to escape, but they were barely able to avoid being caught up!

Then, when he reached the intersection, Cha Jibin fled to the left road! And Zhao Wulie chose the right road!

Not long after, Zhao Wulie was running and running, and he heard the footsteps coming from behind! His luck is bad after all, and the object of the ghost is him!

And the fork in front of us is still a long way off!

Zhao Wulie was so frightened that his soul flew away, and his heart began to despair, and at this moment, suddenly the footsteps behind him stopped.

Confused for a moment, he looked back. But I saw that there was a dark green dress on the ground.

"This is ......" Zhao Wulie was very suspicious for a while, but he didn't dare to stay, and continued to speed up and flee to the front. Who knows, could this be some kind of ruse?

When Zhao Wulie finally came to the fork in the road and chose a fork in the road to enter, another second passed, and the time limit arrived.

The dark green garment bulged again, and then, hands and feet protruded from the garment again!

And this scene was clearly seen by Che Zhibin in the corridor behind!

What's going on? He turned his head just now and saw with his own eyes that this ghost's body had suddenly shrunk into his clothes! He ran to the opposite fork in the road and secretly stuck his head over to take a look. And then, I saw this scene!

Naturally, he immediately continued to bend into the fork and gallop, not daring to stop for a moment. And what does the strange phenomenon of a ghost's body shrinking into his clothes mean?

Cha Zhibin kept calculating in his mind, he was thinking, could this be a living door in the maze?

But now is not the time to think about that. The ghost must have seen his escape path just now, and if you don't hurry up and enter a new fork in the road, the ghost will be in trouble once you chase it!

Finally, after a few forks, he shook off the dark green ghost and entered a new fork in the hallway.

He began to think...... Could it be that the ghost is restricted by something that causes the body to be sealed inside the clothes?

If so, what is the reason?

Is it the corridor itself? Or did Zhao Wulie do something? Or does it have something to do with the terrain of the labyrinth?

He calculated that the time that the ghost had been sealed in was about ten seconds. And by the time the ghost's head was fully stretched out and raised, Zhao Wulie had already fled into a new fork in the road. And the ghost didn't see which fork in the road he fled into.

If you can take advantage of this, your chances of survival will be greatly improved!

Will...... Does it have something to do with the crossroads?

Wrong. Cha Zhibin thought that he had passed through several crossroads-type forks before, and the ghosts had still chased them. Not for this reason. The corridor that Zhao Wulie fled into didn't have a big special surname. Length, width, all the same...... So, what exactly?

What is the reason why that ghost is sealed?

Cha Ji-bin constantly counts all the clues and information he gets, quickly filters it through his brain, and constantly imagines considering every possible surname.

However, no matter what he thought, he couldn't figure out what the reason for that ghost to be sealed was.

Is the difficulty just a random situation? Can't grasp it at all?

If that's the case, then it's miserable.

While Che Zhibin was thinking like this, he suddenly heard a voice in front of him: "Che ...... Mr. Che? ”

He looked up and saw that it was Liancheng standing opposite!

The two actually met in this huge labyrinth!

"Great!" When Liancheng saw Che Zhibin, he immediately ran over and said, "Mr. Che, it's so good to find you!" Well? What about Zhao Wulie? Could he ......?"

"He's fine," Che Zhibin was relieved to see that Liancheng was also relieved, and said, "Just now, I separated from him...... But you, and Liu Xiashan are also separated? Or is it Liu Xiashan, she ......"

"Mr. Che!" Liancheng immediately said, "I'm going to tell you something. Liu Xiashan is already dead, I was chased by two ghosts just now, and when I escaped into a corridor, the two ghosts, their bodies were sealed into their clothes, and it took fifteen seconds to reappear from their clothes......"

"What?" After hearing this, Che Zhibin's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly asked, "Tell me more clearly!" What happened then? Tell me in detail, you can't let go of any details! ”

Liancheng immediately spoke: "At that time, I ......"

However, as soon as he said the word "I", he couldn't say it anymore.

Because...... He saw a dark green ghost with a big head coming out at the fork in the corridor behind!
