015. Speak silently
Just as Jiang Ning was about to go to the lobby with Enoshima to taste the food, thunder exploded, and all the light sources in front of him suddenly went out together, leaving only the icy darkness sweeping in from all directions like a tide.
Jiang Ning was taken aback by this phenomenon, but he quickly calmed down, judging from the thunder that had just exploded, it seemed that the cause of this phenomenon was only a power outage caused by a thunderstorm.
"Enoshima? Where are you? β
Human beings, no matter who they are, will always have a sense of fear in the unknown, and this fear will slowly amplify over time, and the same is true for Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning subconsciously called out to the only guy who could be called a friend in this strange environment, but after a long time, Enoshima, who was supposed to lead him to the lobby by his side, was silent at the moment.
Then, he was surprised to find that he, who had always had a calm and calm mentality, began to panic at this time, and even the voice calling Enoshima's name trembled a little.
Jiang Ning couldn't believe that he was in such a predicament, he took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, and then used the last strength of his body to take a step forward.
At this time, Jiang Ning only felt a breeze around him, after all, in this kind of time when he couldn't see anything, his sense of perception and hearing would become very sensitive.
"Is that you? Enoshima? β
The voice came out of Jiang Ning's mouth, and his voice echoed in the huge corridor, and after a series of rebounds, it drilled into his ears again.
The voice of the response did not sound this time, Jiang Ning only felt that his hand that was breaking out in a cold sweat was held by a smooth and soft hand, and then the person next to him leaned his whole body on him.
"It's me, I just saw that you have been in a daze in front of that painting, so I went to the lobby to see if there was any food, but I didn't expect the power to go out."
Enoshima's voice was a little inexplicably low, no matter how Jiang Ning thought about it, she couldn't understand the meaning behind this emotion, could it be that she was depressed because she found that there was nothing she liked to eat in the lobby? Still is.......
"Oh yes, I just went downstairs and saw a utility room on the second floor of the inn, there should be lighting tools there, why don't we go and have a look?"
After the action like turning a book, the depressed mood in Enoshima's voice disappeared in an instant.
Jiang Ning frowned, but for the purpose of not startling the snake, he didn't ask out loud, and in his heart, he already felt that something was not quite right with the girl holding his hand next to him.
Just when Jiang Ning hadn't answered, from the ground floor downstairs, estimated to be the location of the lobby, there was an ancient ringing bell in a very medieval style, which lasted for twelve times.
So, is it twelve o'clock?
Jiang Ning frowned, he clearly remembered that Enoshima claimed that it was dinner time just now, could it be that in this worldview, the dinner time here was not six or seven o'clock, but ten o'clock? Or is it that time flies quickly in this world? Or is it ....... The clock in the lobby downstairs is broken?
"Hey, let's go down first."
Although I don't know what Enoshima wants to do, since I've come here, I need to find something to light no matter what I do, so Jiang Ning took the initiative to take the girl's hand and prepare to leave here.
But...... Enoshima didn't move.
"Tick."
Hearing the sound of water droplets dripping on the wooden floor, Jiang Ning faintly noticed that a black shadow with a blurred outline appeared behind Enoshima.
The twelve bells of midnight had ended, but the unsettling aftersound echoed in Jiang Ning's mind for a long time, and an inexplicable chill climbed up his back, and then pierced into the skin and deep into the bone marrow.
It was as if an invisible shackle had been locked on Jiang Ning's ankle, making it difficult for him to move half a step.
After that, Jiang Ning heard a short, like the sound of wings flapping.
He couldn't see anything, as he should.
If it weren't for the light of the lightning that just slipped through the window and illuminated the entire corridor, his vision would not have captured this image at allβ
At the center of Enoshima Lian's eyebrows, I don't know what tool opened a thumb-sized blood hole, and his body slowly fell backwards, his expression still frozen in the previous moment.
Not far away, stood a strangely shaped man in a black robe wearing a strange mask and unknown gender.
Darkness filled Jiang Ning's vision again, but the smell of burning flesh and bones still corroded the nasal mucosa, reminding him of what he had just seen.
The person who had spoken to him not so long ago had died in such a tragic way, and in front of him.
A strong feeling of vomiting poured into his chest, Jiang Ning endured it for a moment, and finally bent over and vomited desperately, but because he was on an empty stomach, he vomited for a long time and didn't vomit anything except sour water.
In front of him, the black-robed man was still standing there coldly, exuding a terrifying aura that made people dare not get closer.
This person not only has a strange body, but even the shadow is extremely cold, when the light of lightning just came in, his black shadow fell to the ground, like a bottomless abyss suddenly appeared in the space, Jiang Ning always felt that something creepy would crawl out of that hole at any time, and he couldn't help but feel chills.
However, the current situation can no longer allow Jiang Ning to continue to escape, and he is not very familiar with the space here, and he doesn't know where the black-robed man in front of him came from, but being able to come to the two of them quietly definitely means that he is very familiar with this place.
If you want to escape from here, no matter how fast you are, it will be difficult to escape from the palm of the black-robed man's hand.
So in a difficult choice, Jiang Ning chose to take the initiative to attack and launch a challenge.
However, what frightened Jiang Ning even more was that no matter how much he could think of his attacks, even picking up the paintings on the wall and throwing them at the black-robed man, he felt as if his attack had fallen into the void, unable to hurt his true core, and only floating on the surface.
It was the black-robed man, and as soon as he stretched his robe slightly, Jiang Ning was knocked out by a huge force that suddenly erupted, and slammed into the wall at the end of the corridor.
"Ahem......"
As soon as his throat was sweet, a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out of his throat, Jiang Ning gasped, and the sharp pain in his body made him close his eyes.
Even with his eyes closed, a strong sense of dizziness still enveloped Jiang Ning.
At first, Jiang Ning felt that he was in a state of "separation" from his surroundings, but gradually, he heard some sounds, which turned from vague to clear-
It was the sound of rain pounding on the roof and hitting the glass.
Eventually, what opened his eyes was a strange muffled sound.
