Zhang Zheng said: "I think Zhao Ying, Lao Gao and the others are really in danger."
He narrowly escaped death because Jiang Shan was there to remind him. But what were Gao Wenwu and Zhao Ying going to do? "And I seemed to hear Zhao Ying's cry just now."
Jiang Shan said: "Isn't that a good thing?" Being able to call out means that he is still alive.
Zhang Zheng: "..." He was really curious about how he could still be so optimistic in such a desperate situation.
Unlike Zhang Zheng, Jiang Shan can clearly see the words on the page in front of her. Of course she knows that it is abnormal for her to be like this. It is even abnormal to be able to see the shadow of a human figure. However, Jiang Shan has not been a normal person in the past twenty years. I have lived (I was an orphan and a patient, and I am completely a minority group in society). At this moment, the whole world is abnormal. There are children with holes in their stomachs, women with two black holes in their eyes, and there is a walker in the library. The humanoid black shadow that walks around, forcing others to read... Now, she feels much more normal.
It's never been more normal than it is now.
Zhang Zheng has no idea that Jiang Shan has completed a spiritual self-healing. His limbs are now stiff. He has never sat down to read a book for more than five minutes since his grandma graduated!
The intercom on his chest rang, and he asked in a very low and vague voice: "Jiang Shan, Zhang Zheng, are you there?"
Zhang Zheng suddenly became excited.
This is really exciting, "Lao Gao?"
Oh my God, I finally made contact. The moment they heard the voice, both of them were about to cry. "How are you and Zhao Ying, are you okay?"
Gao Wenwu looked at Zhao Ying and said, "We're okay." He didn't mention that his arm was broken. As long as your life is still alive, that's fine.
"You didn't encounter... any accidents, did you?" Zhang Zheng asked hesitantly.
Gao Wenwu paused for a moment. Now he and Zhao Ying were in darkness, and the light of the flashlight was extinguished by him: "Where is Jiang Shan?"
Jiang Shandao: "I'm here."
Gao Wenwu said softly: "Can you explain the 'shadow man' you just mentioned?"
"Did you just hear that?" Zhang Zheng asked in surprise: "Then why didn't you reply?"
When Jiang Shan heard Gao Wenwu's tone and voice, he guessed that something might have happened. The good news was that Gao Wenwu and Zhao Ying responded quickly.
"Gao Wenwu," Jiang Shan took over the words and said bluntly, "Were you attacked?"
Gao Wenwu said: "Yes..."
Jiang Shan's worst expectation came true. Murphy's Law was really accurate. If Gao Wenwu and Zhao Ying did encounter the same situation, it meant that there was more than one humanoid shadow in the library.
Jiang Shan said: "Zhang Zheng was also attacked, the second time because he did not comply with the new rules of the library."
Zhang Zheng: "..." He was too embarrassed to take the initiative to say that he was attacked, but Jiang Shan said so and insisted on pointing out that it was twice. Grumpy drivers don’t dare to be grumpy now.
"New rules?" Gao Wenwu took a breath, "Is it the voice that sounded in the headset before?"
How could a closed library suddenly have rules? It's so outrageous that his mother opened the door for outrageous things. It's so outrageous.
"Yes, you must not violate it." Jiang Shan was embarrassed to say that this rule was indirectly catalyzed by her.
She really didn't expect that humanoid shadow to have such reflexes. Or should I say "wisdom".
"There are five rules in total, none of which can be violated."
Moreover, this humanoid shadow seems to have a somewhat paranoid personality and obsessive-compulsive disorder. I don’t know if “his” criteria for judging will change at any time.
Gao Wenwu: "...I don't remember the last few items." It was not scary enough in that situation. Gao Wenwu was already considered to have a good psychological quality, but it was too difficult for him to recite it in full.
Gao Wenwu couldn't help but glance at Zhao Ying. Zhao Ying was curled up next to her with her head lowered and hugging her body. This state was completely different from what he could remember.
"It doesn't matter," Jiang Shan's voice came, "I remember it all."
It sounds so reassuring.
Listen to the rules first, don't break them. As long as the shadow people no longer harm them, there is still time to think of countermeasures.
"By the way, can you still contact Old Wei?" Zhang Zheng thought to himself.
Gao Wenwu said: "No, the communication seems to have been cut off just now, and the headset has been turned off now."
Zhang Zheng was desperate: "Old Wei has also lost contact with us, what should we do?"
Jiang Shan said: "As long as we can still communicate, this is more important." Now that everyone is in the library, it is obviously more useful to unite and cooperate with each other.
And it's obviously a good thing that Wei Yuan is outside. At least he knows that they are not alone now, which is good for the stability of the military's morale.
"Jiang Shan," Gao Wenwu asked the key question, "Our flashlights are turned off now, but what will we do next?"
When he came in, Wei Yuan also said, listen to Jiang Shan. Now that Wei Yuan has lost contact, Gao Wenwu will implement this backup plan.
Without knowing the principle or reason at all, Gao Wenwu still believed Jiang Shan and put out the flashlight.
Jiang Shan breathed a sigh of relief. She now felt that Gao Wenwu was really a reliable teammate. "Look carefully, there is... someone's shadow in the darkness."
shadow? Gao Wenwu couldn't help but look around again. He couldn't even see his own shadow now. What could he see?
"Don't look around!" Jiang Shan shouted suddenly, as if he had eyes.
Gao Wenwu suddenly stopped moving, feeling nervous. What does this mean?
"You..." Jiang Shan had a slight headache. She was actually not used to giving orders, "You and Zhao Ying, each of you will take a book now."
Why is this? Why are the requests getting weirder and weirder? Gao Wenwu was somewhat speechless.
"That shadow likes to watch people reading." Jiang Shan felt outrageous even when he said it. However, this is a library, and reading is what you should do.
The most indispensable thing in this library is books. Gao Wenwu took them casually and put a book into Zhao Ying's hand first.
Zhao Ying suddenly trembled all over, and she turned her head sharply. In the darkness, her eyes could hardly see anything, but at that moment, she seemed to feel a very strange feeling.
"It seems like someone walked over?"
Gao Wenwu's hand holding the book paused. Someone walked over? It's so dark. Who can you see walking past? And there are "people" besides them in this library?
Jiang Shan's mind was spinning, and he suddenly said: "Zhao Ying, did you see it?" Looking carefully, there was a shadow of someone in the darkness.
To be precise, Zhao Ying didn't "see", but felt. She felt that someone was walking past her in the darkness just now.
Zhao Ying didn't know what to say.
"Intuition." Jiang Shan suddenly said, "Really Zhao Ying?" The "sixth sense" that humans can never explain clearly.
Zhao Ying remained silent.
Gao Wenwu had already quickly pulled out a book and returned to Zhao Ying. He saw nothing and felt nothing. Moreover, Zhao Ying was too frightened and might have frightened herself.
But Jiang Shan doesn't think so. At this time, he would rather believe that he has something than that he doesn't.
"Before humans evolved into humans, wild beasts hunted in the dark and could smell or hear the location of prey. These instincts have not degenerated in the body. Sometimes they exist in the same way as - the sixth sense, or It’s called intuition.”
Jiang Shan saw this in a book, and now he will process it and say it casually.
Because some of people's subconscious conditioned reflexes and intuitions only take less than a second to occur, it is difficult to describe the complete process.
Because it is difficult to explain, it is all summarized as "intuition".
No matter what, if Zhao Ying can feel something, it will undoubtedly be very helpful to the situation at hand.
