Jiang Shan could clearly see the lines of the hand, the bulges at the wrist joints, and the slender fingers that turned the pages of the book.
Everything is as if there is really a living person standing opposite.
But this man had no voice, no breathing. He was as quiet as the air. There was only the sound of pages turning over.
A certain area in Jiang Shan's mind seemed to be activated. She seemed to be familiar with the outline of this dark humanoid shadow. This kind of terrifying shadow that makes no sound but is doing "human behavior".
…
Jiang Shan closed his eyes suddenly, and a dozen frames briefly appeared in his mind like a flash, and then were thrown back into the depths of his memory.
There was no time to capture the specifics.
Just in these few seconds, the shadow on the opposite side moved, and the book on the "hand" closed with a snap. The next moment, the book was put back to the position where it was removed before.
Jiang Shan froze. She should immediately put back the book she had taken out. Otherwise, whenever the "person" opposite lowered his head, he would find that a book was missing, and then find Jiang Shan opposite him through the gap. .
But Jiang Shan held the book and did not move. She still looked at the opposite side through the gap. This time, she was in the dark and the opposite side was in the light.
Initiative is fleeting.
Can she take advantage of the moment to make a sneak attack? If so, will the attack be successful? In the blink of an eye, Jiang Shan had countless thoughts running through his head.
This humanoid shadow has a form, but can physical damage cause damage to this "form"?
Currently there is only one flashlight, but it seems to have no effect.
Moreover, even in this form, only she can "see" it.
Ordinary people's eyes cannot see in the dark. We have all learned the simplest physics. Only when a light source exists and the light is reflected into the human eyes, vision will occur.
However, this human-shaped shadow will "disappear" as long as there is light.
This kind of disappearance is visible to the naked eye. Human eyes cannot capture this creature, so Zhang Zheng cannot see it.
She couldn't hear any sound from the thing either, only the shape.
In a short period of time, Jiang Shan concluded that the characteristics of this "thing" are silent, tangible, and cannot be exposed to the world.
At this time, Zhang Zheng felt like a turtle in a urn, feeling aggrieved and depressed, until Wei Yuan's voice suddenly popped out from the intercom: "Zhang Zheng, Jiang Shan, hear the answer."
"Listen...I heard it!" Zhang Zheng was so excited that he wanted to shout out. Communications were miraculously restored!
Wei Yuan didn't expect that his lingering thoughts would really resonate. He was stunned for a second and immediately said: "What happened over there, where is Jiang Shan?"
Zhang Zheng is now full of things to say: "Old Wei, we have encountered a monster...a transparent man! It's a transparent man!"
Wei Yuan: "..."
"It's too scary. Call for reinforcements quickly. There is an alien in this library!"
Wei Yuan frowned slightly: "...Calm down first and talk carefully."
The more frightened Zhang Zheng became, the crazier his output became: "I was grabbed by that thing and ran all over the library, and I almost stopped eating! I'm not lying to you, I swear it's all true!"
Wei Yuan paused. He felt that Zhang Zheng might not be able to think clearly in this situation. "Where is Jiang Shan? Let her reply."
Zhang Zheng paused for half a second: "She's not here, she's gone."
Wei Yuan had a slight headache: "Aren't you together?" How dare Zhang Zheng act separately.
Zhang Zheng squeezed his eyes hard. He felt as if he was about to get claustrophobia. "She said she wanted to explore the situation and leave me here."
Wei Yuan didn't answer for a long time. Jiang Shan left Zhang Zheng alone and said he was going to explore? After thinking about it, Jiang Shan would not leave his companions in danger.
Listening to Zhang Zheng's angry voice, it should indeed be safe for the time being.
"Where are Zhao Ying and Lao Gao? How are they? Lao Gao? Zhao Ying?" Zhang Zheng called again, feeling reassured when someone spoke to him.
Wei Yuan did not tell Zhao Ying and Gao Wenwu about the situation. His top priority was to collect more information: "Zhang Zheng, are you saying there are corrupted people in the library?"
After all, this is the most dangerous right now.
"No one..." Zhang Zheng really wanted to yell angrily now, "Old Wei, there is no one here! It's not about being 'eroded' at all!"
Wei Yuan was silent again.
Although Zhang Zheng is irritable, he doesn't talk nonsense. From the moment Wei Yuan contacted Zhang Zheng, the communication between Gao Wenwu and Zhao Ying was cut off.
"Were you attacked?" Wei Yuan finally asked in a deep voice.
"yes."
"Who attacked you?"
"I don't know." Zhang Zheng almost cried when he mentioned this, "Old Wei, I don't know."
Wei Yuan no longer forced Zhang Zheng, he said these few words of dialogue, "Are you saying you didn't see it... or that you couldn't see it?"
There is a big difference between these two adjectives.
"I didn't see anything, but that girl...she seemed to have seen something." Zhang Zheng said.
Wei Yuan understood that something invisible to Zhang Zheng attacked him.
Wei Yuan's heart sank, invisible attacker?
Even Wei Yuan has never heard of such a strange thing, invisible man? It is not unusual to say that modern technology has invisible aircraft and fishing boats, but the invisibility is just hiding from radar detection, and it is not truly "invisible" in the literal sense.
Moreover, even if there is technology that makes humans invisible, can it still be used today? Not to mention that such an ancient library could contain emerging technologies that even he didn't know about.
But Zhang Zheng and Gao Wenwu's words made Wei Yuan have to be vigilant.
"Old Wei, are you still here? Don't say anything..." Zhang Zheng was already frightened.
Wei Yuan considered his words: "Can you describe to me again what happened when you entered the library?"
Zhang Zheng kept talking for a long time, as if the Shining had reappeared and aliens were rising, "I really felt someone grabbing me, and that girl even talked to my back..."
Wei Yuan believed it because Zhang Zheng's eloquence could not compose such an impactful story.
"So," he said after thinking for a moment, "Jiang Shan went after the invisible man?"
Zhang Zheng: "...should be, right."
Before Wei Yuan could say anything else, Zhang Zheng suddenly hesitated: "I think that girl seems to have mutated... The speed she ran with me was amazing." Not only the speed, Jiang Shan's whole process was like Brother Tang. Possession.
Zhang Zheng was also a little embarrassed to talk about the savior who had just saved his life behind his back, but he was too frightened.
Wei Yuan was quiet for a moment. In fact, he didn't seem surprised on his face. He said: "Then before Jiang Shan comes back, don't act rashly. Just continue to hide as she said and not be discovered."
"Old Wei, you have to save us, we..." The communication rustled and suddenly stopped again.
