No sight, no hearing, no touch.

No...... Anything that can be felt.

In a daze, Jiang Mian felt as if he had been lost somewhere, lost for a long, long time......

Then, all the senses suddenly reappeared—

There was a pain that swelled to the extreme.

It hurt so much that Jiang Mian couldn't help but want to moan.

When I opened my eyes, my vision was blurry, but I could still see a large side of transparent glass embedded in a metal stand.

Here it is......

In the car?

Jiang Mian immediately struggled to get up and look around, his memory was still stuck in the moment when he lost consciousness in the alley.

"Don't move, you're not lightly injured, plus you've been overdrawing your strength and energy, and it will take some time to recover."

There was a voice that was very familiar in his memory, but his consciousness was still in a state of confusion and nightmare, so that Jiang Mian kept thinking about the reason why he was familiar with this voice in his mind.

"You ......"

Jiang Mian, who was sober for a moment, immediately reacted, and looked at the strange man sitting in the driver's seat with vague vision.

"Are you...... Lin Sheng? ”

"Yes."

The man seemed to be concentrating on driving.

"What about Pei Xingyi?"

"It's 'gone' for the time being."

Lin Sheng sighed.

It seems that the ghost shadow is still the same as before, and will enter a relatively weak state in the dark.

“…… You're hurt? ”

Jiang Mian's vision gradually regained clarity, and he looked at Lin Sheng, who was covered with various small wounds on his face at this time, especially the few blood marks on his cheeks that were particularly conspicuous in the dark night.

"Yes, thanks to you."

"What?!"

Jiang Mian realized that his face was very sore everywhere, and his whole body was tied up and down.

"I ...... Why are you tied up? What did you do? ”

"It's nothing, in fact you should ask yourself, or your own body, to be precise."

Lin Sheng stretched out his right hand and pointed to the center console between the two, and the time displayed on the screen of the center console was 2:09 in the morning.

"Could it be that I ...... before it"

Jiang Mian immediately recalled the reason for his previous car accident.

“…… Is it being controlled again? ”

"It took me a while to get the car, so it was almost early in the morning when I carried you back to the car."

Lin Sheng said and parked the car on the side of the road, then turned his head to look at Jiang Mian who was in the passenger seat.

"And then you're in a coma, but you turn out like a ghost, huh...... It should be said that it is a ghost. ”

"And then got into a fight with you?"

"Grappling isn't counting, your physical condition is really bad, and the humanoid ghost hasn't reached the point where it can completely dominate your body, so you're just getting beaten."

Seemingly a little inexplicably unconvinced, Jiang Mian immediately asked:

"Then why do you have so many injuries on your face?"

"See for yourself."

Lin Sheng turned on the lights in the car and leaned his head over, under the light, Jiang Mian saw that Lin Sheng's face was covered with small scratches and tooth marks.

"Don't tell me...... Not long ago, I was like a with my nails and mouth......"

Jiang Mian immediately found that some of the wounds on his body had also been retreated.

Lin Sheng didn't answer, but sat back in the driver's seat a little helplessly, and then silently looked around, as if he was alert to whether there was anyone around.

"Why aren't you controlled?"

"First of all, this is the first day of my intervention, and the ghost doesn't pay as much attention to me as you do, and secondly, I've been consciously avoiding light sources, so if nothing else, I'll have to be at least after the fourth or fifth night before I become like you, and of course we don't think we can last until then."

"I don't follow you because I've been attracting firepower, okay......"

Jiang Mian felt that he was finally able to meet someone who could make him feel at ease, although the last person who gave him peace of mind......

Thinking of this, Jiang Mian suddenly sensed something from Lin Sheng's words:

"Wait a minute! You say you've been avoiding light sources? Isn't this ghost afraid of light? ”

Seeing Lin Sheng silently staring at him with an idiotic look, he immediately reacted again:

"I see...... Pei Xingyi has a problem in the first place, and what he says is naturally misleading me......"

Jiang Mian immediately recalled Pei Xingyi and the inference he had said.

For example, "the shadows of those things will not be able to keep up with the ontology from time to time" and "they are afraid of the light", although the former has not yet been given the opportunity to verify it in detail, but judging from Lin Sheng's denial of the latter at the moment, the former must also be misleading him.

"If he's been misleading me and leading me to prolonged exposure to light sources, when exactly did he start?"

Jiang Mian remembered the escape experience at the Chunxiang Holiday Hotel, and those things really slowed down the pursuit after rushing out of the hotel and being exposed to the open air, so that they began to chase and see-saw with him.

At that time, he hadn't been able to react from that kind of emergency, but after thinking about it carefully, the time when those things appeared was really a bit deliberate, as if it was to verify the inference that Pei Xingyi had just said.

They vanished after being forced into the sunlight, only to reappear when they hid in a dimly lit toilet, where they were exposed to sunlight for long periods of time......

Thinking of this, Jiang Mian suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Could it be ......

Have you never met the real Pei Xingyi?

Perhaps from the initial contact at the hotel...... The other party has been completely assimilated by the ghost.

Jiang Mian remembered that when he first saw his post, the other party's floors that came out in a completely different tone after a long time, and thought about it, the other party had already ...... at that time

"It's okay, not too stupid."

Seeing that Jiang Mian seemed to have figured out the cause and effect of the whole thing in a short period of time, Lin Sheng said lightly:

"When you confessed those experiences to me before, I was a little suspicious, but what you said was always reserved, and I couldn't really confirm it, so if you provoke the relationship between you and the people you trust, you will only distrust me even more because of this 'instigation'."

"So I just wanted to remind you at the end of the topic about this shadow being afraid of the dark, but who would have thought that you, a decrepit boy, kept too many things, and even a dream individual waiting next to him refused to tell me."

Jiang Mian smiled embarrassedly when he heard this:

"Sorry...... Brother Sheng...... Is it better for me to call you Brother Lin or Brother Sheng? Anyway, there won't be a next time, but I'm still curious...... How does it know I'm going to browse the forums and lay out ahead of time? It's too probable......"

"It's whatever it's called, but the answer to your question is actually very simple."

Lin Sheng saw that Jiang Mian was completely awake and calmed down, and he didn't need to continue to guard against the other party from doing anything out of the ordinary, so he loosened the rope that bound him for Jiang Mian, and then started the vehicle and drove back on the road.

"It doesn't need to know if you're going to browse the forums or not, it just needs to lay out any choices you might make, and then any action you do will have a good chance of coming into contact with one of its doppelgangers, after all...... There are so many people in this 'field' who have been assimilated by it. ”

Seeing Jiang Mian thinking silently, Lin Sheng continued:

"You're in a bit of a big trouble this time, let's put it this way...... This is not the first time I have encountered this incident, I have carried it out once a long time ago, at the beginning of the birth of this event, I kind of escaped, but the ghost in this incident has not been really solved, so it has been revived. ”

"And the situation after this recovery has far exceeded my expectations, and the original rules of this ghost's action are only through the continuous invasion of ourselves, in order to achieve the means of dominating our bodies, in addition to causing some anomalies...... There will hardly be any other behavior. ”

"But you've also experienced this situation, saying that it's a corpse tide is a bit of a corpse tide, this ghost has controlled a very large number of entities in this dream realm, and then made them behave relatively normally, so as to hide in the crowd, like people running some simple action programs."

Speaking of this, Lin Sheng's expression looked very serious:

"Before, they were scattered all over the city, but once they were gathered, can you imagine what that would look like?"

Jiang Mian imagined the surging crowd that he had encountered on the pedestrian street before, and then nodded heavily.

"To tell you the truth, based on what we've been through so far, I'm not sure I'll be able to save you, and even I'm going to have a hard time getting out of this dream, so ...... This time, I can only try as hard as I can. ”
