The sky was white, and it was almost six o'clock.

"Eight ......"

The ghost's countdown echoed.

Shen Ji glanced around, and immediately confirmed that it was impossible to hide from people in this place.

But it is impossible for the [Pupil Realm] to give an absolute dead end.

In other words, there is indeed a place within the fountain pool where you can hide and not be caught by ghosts.

But there is no such place right now......

The space here is so narrow, and the oni have a lot of mobility, not to mention that they only have twenty seconds to hide, and even if they can climb onto the street lamp or dive under the pool, they will be found by the ghost almost immediately.

It's too narrow for a game of hide-and-seek......

"Seven ......"

The ghost countdown continues.

Shen Ji pinched the [Pen of Continuation] stiffly.

His brain was racing frantically to find the hidden, real way to survive......

He didn't know when Chen Zhiyuan regained consciousness, this incident revealed strangeness.

After all, at the beginning, Chen Zhiyuan's permanent props had to pay the price of permanent brain degradation.

But as far as Shen Zhiyuan's personal experience is concerned, compared to the degeneration of his brain, Chen Zhiyuan's later state is more like opening another personality, a ...... The personality of a child.

It's not the first time, strictly speaking, Qin Manjiang, Nie Yunzhen, and now with Chen Zhiyuan, the three of them all have another "self" existence.

And these three people seem to be different in some way.

Qin Manjiang's second personality came from Yuecheng twenty years ago.

Nie Yun is really the same.

But what about Chen Zhiyuan?

He's the man he is now, but ...... He sees the future through his special permanent items.

Could it be ...... Is the condition for the birth of a second personality time and space......

"Six ......"

The countdown interval of the ghost is two seconds or less.

So, a countdown of ten leaves the player with twenty seconds of hiding time.

But Shen Ji still had no clue.

He quickly sorted out the logic...... First of all, there is definitely a way to survive here, in other words, there is a place where you can hide and not be found by ghosts.

The second point is that the scope of the entire game area is only the size of two basketball courts, of which the pool still occupies a considerable amount of area, plus there is no shelter and height difference, resulting in a basic view here, and there is no place to hide.

Shen Yu's brows furrowed.

These two points are completely contradictory.

The way of life is that ghosts will never be found, and the characteristics of the area here are that there is no hiding place at all, and you will be caught wherever you hide.

Wait a minute......

Maybe it should be related to the characteristics of ghosts!

Is it light?

This ghost does have phototaxis, although it is not known whether the light attracts it or makes it fearful, in short, it will go close to the light.

In other words, if you can climb the street lamp, it is actually a pretty good choice.

It's not dark under the lamp, it's dark on the lamp.

Ghosts are attracted by the light, and it is difficult to see what is behind the light.

But...... Shen Yu quickly overturned this life path again.

Not to mention his lameness, even if he is a normal person with intact hands and feet, without any professional training, it is basically impossible to climb the street lamp with his bare hands in twenty seconds, after all, the way of force and the muscle groups mobilized to climb the street lamp pole are not used by a normal person for a long time, but children who like to climb up and down may be faster.

"Five ......"

There are only ten seconds left.

Shen Lu's heart also began to beat faster.

The [Continuation Pen] in his hand was pinched hard by him, but what he said to himself in his heart was ......

I must not die, absolutely not, die here!

No matter what Chen Zhiyuan sees, Shen Ji has to tell him in his own way that you are wrong!

At no time should you give up your life.

He has to do everything he can to live, no matter whether it is mutilated or ugly, only by staying alive can everything continue to move forward.

He didn't understand the reason why Chen Zhiyuan handed over the [Pen of Continuation] to himself, and he didn't want to understand.

Shen Ji looked around and swept every corner of the fountain pool area again.

"Four ......"

There are only eight seconds left.

If you can't think of a way, even if you find a way out, it's completely too late.

The cold touch of the back against the hanging bell always reminds Shen Yu that there will be no time soon.

However, at this moment, Shen Yu turned his head sharply and looked at the hanging bell behind him.

More than a meter high and half a meter wide, quietly placed in the pool.

Wait a minute......

I understand!

His eyes lit up, and he immediately squatted down and lifted it up a slit, so light......

Shen Yu was even more convinced, and he effortlessly lifted the hanging bell, dragged a stump leg, and got in.

"Two ......"

"One."

The ghost turned its head suddenly, and it stared at the bell.

And at this moment, the Shen remains, who were in the hanging bell, were completely shrouded in darkness.

But he was not the least afraid.

Because the whole logic has been thoroughly figured out.

In the third stage, the bell appears suddenly, and everything revolves around this bell.

Even the ghosts have to come back when the bell rings and play a one-on-one game with the players.

This is definitely a limitation for ghosts.

Shen Yu believed that if he could, this ghost would want to destroy this hanging bell more than anyone else.

After all, on more than one occasion, when it was about to succeed, it was affected by the sudden ringing of the bell and had to come here.

All phenomena are illustrating one problem - ghosts, unable to shake the hanging bell.

Shen Yu's eyes were very bright, and the two contradictions he had discovered before had also found answers that could be perfectly explained.

First of all, there is no place to hide, and even if you do, you will definitely be found.

Secondly, there is a way to live, which means that there is a place to hide and never be found.

There is only one answer to these two contradictory questions...... That is the explanation of the second contradiction.

There is a way out here, there is a place to hide, it is not that it will not be found, but ...... Even if it is found, the ghost is helpless!

And this place is under the hanging bell!

The ghost couldn't touch the bell, and even if it knew that the player was hiding in the bell, it couldn't shake it in the slightest.

This game ...... It was I who won.

Shen Yu leaned on the bell and squeezed the [Pen of Continuation] tightly.

The internal space of this hanging bell is just the size of a person, and even Zheng Jun, who is the tallest and largest in this game, can be completely hidden.

Shen Ji gasped slightly, speaking of which, just making a sound as a "signal" for the start of the game, a small clock is enough, or simply a gong is fine.

There is no need to place such a large hanging bell.

Originally...... Shenglu has always been around, so many people, ringing the bell back and forth so many times, and they have never doubted why this bell is so big.

Time passes little by little.

Shen Yu knew that he and the ghost were only a minute apart, but ...... This thin layer of bell wall separates life and death.

Ten minutes, it's here.
