Chapter 269: Trap
Without warning, I fell into a trap, and my spiritual power couldn't be transmitted, but Xun Bishan couldn't wait for me to come in and look for me, I suddenly felt bad, if she came in, both of us would be trapped.
I stood at the door and waved outside, at this time Xun Bishan was already walking towards the hall, but she didn't seem to see me, she walked straight over, and called my name when she stood at the door, but unfortunately she couldn't hear my voice.
I was anxious, but I had no choice but to watch her walk through the door, but when she came in, she still ignored me and called my name again.
I reached out to pull her, but it was empty, and my hand passed through her body as if it were an illusory shadow.
Xun Bishan looked around, then hurriedly walked out of the hall, rode her bicycle in the direction of the school, and was so hurried that she even dropped the bucket.
I believe that Gu Yu will come soon, except for calmness, other emotions can't help, I let myself calm down, make some attempts inside the space, I want to break the glass window of the ticket office, and it did succeed, the glass slag splashed, the sound of breaking and the light crisp sound of the glass falling to the ground echoed in the hall.
I walked into the ticket office, opened the drawer, there were a few pens and two sticky notes, I tapped the stamp pad on the table with my fingertips, and found that the ink was still wet.
The computer couldn't start due to a power outage, so I picked up the calendar next to the window, and the page stopped in October last year.
The first mutation wave was on October 27 last year, and I don't think the formation will have its own time, maybe this trap is more complicated than the formation.
I checked every part of the hall, the windows, the office, the bathroom, and even the walls, and I rubbed a little bit of the wall skin with my fingernails, and the paint should have been done for a short time.
The windows could be opened, but there was an invisible barrier, and the desk in the office was covered with an unfinished material, a cup of green tea with a little temperature next to it, and incense was lit in the public bathroom, which was just halfway burned.
I dragged my office chair with pulleys back to the hall and sat in the center of the hall, facing the door, waiting for Gu Yu to come and find me.
During the hour of waiting, a few questions slowly emerged in my mind, and at the same time recalled a small detail, just as Xun Bishan walked out of the hall, her head suddenly turned behind her, as if to confirm something one last time, and her toes inadvertently kicked a mobile phone, which happened to hit the lighter in the corner, knocking the small lighter a little farther away.
At that time, I was still a little excited, thinking that she could destroy the formation by mistake, but nothing changed in the end.
The phone that appeared at her feet out of thin air proved that her world was not the same space as the world I was in, and that the hall she saw was probably the same as what I saw.
But why can I see her, but she can't see me? Why is my phone only visible when I replace the lighter?
If the props are the intersection of two spaces, and they can be seen on both sides, what about Xun Bishan? If the hall she entered was the same hall as it was, I should have 'ignored' her as if it were anything else.
The answer to this question was revealed from Gu Yu's appearance in the square in front of the station to when he and Long Tao walked into the hall, and I could see it when they walked into the square in front of the station, and when they walked into the hall, they suddenly disappeared from my eyes.
I couldn't even hear them talking, both people and voices, cut off from me, until they stepped out of the hall and stood outside the door, and Long Tao spotted the pile of props.
"Sang Rou didn't go in." Long Tao squatted in front of the pile of small props, "She may have seen these things, and she is afraid that there is danger inside." ”
Although I was so angry that I wanted to kick him, I had to admit that he had a point, because it was impossible for them to see my footprints in the hall, and the station hall in their eyes must only have been the traces of Xun Bishan entering alone.
"Miss Xun was checking the fuel tank at the time, and she didn't see her come in with her own eyes, captain, could it be that Gao Yan said something to her." Long Tao first glanced at Xun Bishan, who was walking around the square, and made sure that she didn't look this way, before he said softly.
Gu Yu's bright eyes suddenly darkened, and he asked sharply, "What did you say?" ”
Long Tao was immediately upright by Gu Yu's words, and said like a report: "Gao Yan suspects that Miss Xun has something to hide from us, she may test Sang Rou to see if Sang Rou already knows Miss Xun's secret, and... She felt that Sang Rou and Miss Xun had a ...... behind our backs Conventions. ”
The word 'agreement' was uttered by Long Tao after a pause, and I think he originally wanted to use the word 'collusion', but for whatever reason, he changed it to a euphemism.
Gu Yu's face was very ugly, but I had a sudden feeling of 'I see', Gao Yan's temptation of me was because she suspected that I had formed an alliance with Xun Bishan and wanted to betray them.
Suspicion is really something more hurtful than a sword, but Long Tao then said: "Captain, Gao Yan noticed something wrong on the road, she told Xiao Hu, you know, she won't hide it from anyone, cough~ Xiao Hu can't hide her thoughts...... In short, the two of them just went out alone, and Bacheng was talking about this, so I guessed that Sang Rou might have listened to Gao Yan's words and wanted to try Miss Xun. ”
Long Tao lowered his shoulders and pouted towards Xun Bishan's position, Gu Yu's expression was always cloudy, and he seemed to be thinking about something very important.
Following Long Tao's line of sight, Gu Yu also glanced at Xun Bishan, who was seriously looking for me outside, as if feeling his gaze, Xun Bishan turned around and walked towards the hall.
"She messaged me that she was at the bus station and that she wasn't going to hide all of a sudden." After Gu Yu finished speaking, he walked over to Xun Bishan.
"Any clues?" Xun Bishan asked first.
"We've found items for the formation, maybe you can give me some advice." Gu Yu's tone was as usual.
"Okay." Xun Bishan followed Gu Yu back to the door of the hall, and Long Tao pointed to the thing in the corner, and then stepped aside.
"This ...... It seems to be related to the five elements, but it's a bit wrong, I haven't seen this kind of formation. Xun Bishan looked at it carefully for a while before speaking.
"Have you ever seen a similar formation?" Gu Yu asked.
"Yes, maybe the people who set up the formation have their own set of secret methods." Xun Bishan said.
"What does the formation you know do?" Gu Yu asked again.
"Gather energy." Xun Bishan looked at the square in front of the station, turned her head to look left and right, and said, "But this is not a treasure of feng shui, and it has no value." ”
Long Tao kicked the items in the corner, and their positions changed, but there was no movement around them, obviously destroying the formation would not work.
The three of them walked around the station inside and out, and finally only pulled out two barrels of gasoline and took them away, they couldn't stay here all the time, not to mention that there was no trace of me in the hall at all, so they were going to look elsewhere.
I was like a viewer standing in front of the screen, watching the three people in the camera go away, I didn't shout, I didn't try to break through the barrier again.
Then my eyes fell to the pile of props in the corner, and although I was calm on the surface, I was already making waves inside.
There is no reaction if the formation is broken, either the formation is broken, or the person who destroys it is attacked, and the pile of small props is really just props.
The strong fluctuations in my heart did not manifest itself on my face, only the clenched palms were slightly sweating, and the 'formations' in more than eighty places in the entire town were all blindfolding.
The high-speed thinking made me sit back in my chair, and I needed to relax so that I could be more calm and engaged.
The reason why there are so many formations is to give people who see it a psychological hint that something strange may be happening in the town.
Because no one knows the true purpose of this formation, there will be many speculations, so whether someone is injured, sick or missing, when the real reason cannot be found, they will think that these formations are responsible.
I thought about it at a deeper level, the eighty-one doubtful formations that Long Tao passed through were all right, but only here was different from the formation, why?
Could it be that the other suspicious formations are also smoke/bombs, trying to confuse the public, so that no one can see that this place is different from the rest of the world?
What is the purpose of the blinding method, smoke/bomb, dual setting?
Leaving aside whether anyone has been tricked before, as far as our group is concerned, this trap doesn't seem to have any other effect than catching me.
If others can't find me, there is no way to save them, and it will not be as simple as just trying to trap people to death.
Gu Yu will definitely stay and continue to look for me, at least I hope he stays, otherwise Nini's warning will be fulfilled.
Sure enough, the team stayed for three days, during which Gao Yan and Hu Tao also came to conduct a second search at the station, and their arrival made me more sure of the difference between Xun Bishan.
Like Gu Yu and Long Tao, they disappeared from my sight as soon as they walked into the hall, and I couldn't hear any sound at all, the sound of footsteps, talking, and even breath would all disappear.
As they walked out of the hall and came to the door, Gao Yan stopped by the pile of props and reached out and kicked the cell phone that replaced the lighter.
"Yanyan, I think you have too much heart, Sang Rou is not that kind of person." Hu Tao stood behind Gao Yan, his honest face full of disapproval.
"Then why did she disappear suddenly? I had just finished talking to her about the map, and she disappeared, is it such a coincidence? Gao Yan kicked the phone away, and the poor phone rolled down the steps all the way, and when it fell to the ground, it was already torn apart, which shows how hard Gao Yan used this kick.
"She's missing and not running away from home, aren't there a lot of magic circles in the town, she must have been kidnapped." Hu Tao said vigorously.
"It's the formation that Long Tao discovered, why didn't he go missing? Xun Bishan and Sang Rou took advantage of this to make you believe that she was lost by a spell, and now... She is probably on the route mapped out on another map heading to the Source Stone Mine. ”
"I believe in Sang Rou." Hu Tao seemed to be a little angry, and he no longer defended me, his usually honest and loyal face was as serious as a general who was about to order a war.
"You and I know very well what the results of doctors' research mean, and people will change in the face of huge interests." When Gao Yan said this, there was only exhaustion and helplessness on her face, which was completely different from her usual image.
"She won't." Hu Tao said stubbornly, and then stopped Gao Yan, turned around and stepped down the steps, this is the first time I have seen him and Gao Yan lose their temper, and it turned out to be because of me.
