Jiang Shan didn't expect such a sudden turn of events. As a sharp pain like a cone came from her calf, she almost reacted quickly and flew up with another kick to hit the snake-like black "hand" on her calf. …
However, she saw that the arm was deformed by the force of her kick, and it was bent like an elastic rubber band. When she retracted her foot, it returned to its original shape.
Brute force is almost useless against this creature that has turned into a shadow.
"Zizzi~die!"
If you disobey, you will die. Your daughter is absolutely right. You are truly a tyrant-like father.
Jiang Shan knew that her front was just too hard to move, so she immediately turned around, endured the severe pain in her calf and rushed forward even faster. The hand holding her was also lengthening, and at the same time, the hand of "Daddy's Shadow" on her calf was grabbing harder and harder. It grew bigger and bigger, as if it was trying to break her bones.
"Zizi, go to the basement...!"
Jiang Shan jumped onto the bookshelf in front of him and climbed all the way to the top. The other arm of the humanoid shadow also grabbed hold of it, following Jiang Shan like two vines intertwined in the air and maggots attached to bones.
All the "politeness" before was just a disguise, just to make Jiang Shan and others willing to be tools.
Jiang Shan has already paid the price for her gullibility and is willing to admit defeat. She admits it.
Jiang Shan sprinted like crazy, and the snake-like hand was stretched and stretched by her, and her father's shadow seemed to be imprisoned in some way, sitting there unable to move.
Jiang Shan was also betting on some kind of speculation. Shadow's father was always at the end of his strength and should have been severely injured by his daughter.
As she continued to sprint forward, Jiang Shan could feel that the strength of the shadow was slackening, so Jiang Shan worked harder. She jumped up and down between the high bookshelves like a rabbit, desperately pulling at the limits of the humanoid shadow.
"You can't go to the basement by yourself, so you want someone else to go there for you. Yes, or no." Jiang Shan did not forget to ask his own question. This shadow is so obsessed with the so-called things in the basement, but he obviously can go by himself. The whole The library belongs to him, but he wants to force outsiders like them to find some basement.
"Zi." The radio sounded reluctantly.
Damn, you are so scheming. Jiang Shan climbed up to the highest bookshelf. She rarely trusted people in her life because she knew that human nature could not be trusted. This was true for Wei Yuan before and even more so for others.
She just didn't expect that one day even trusting a shadow would be able to step on thunder.
I was really speechless.
"We have to go to the basement!" The words on the radio already sounded a bit sinister.
At the same time, on the calf, the shadow's five "fingers" had dug deeply into Jiang Shan's bones and flesh. Jiang Shan could feel the horrible pain of tearing the flesh apart. At the same time, a stream of heat came from the calf, which was obviously bleeding, and the more she became more and more The faster you run, the more severe the pain of separation of skin and flesh on your legs becomes.
The human shadow is really using extreme means to keep Jiang Shan.
"Even the children in the orphanage will choose their (adopted) parents," Jiang Shan's eyes were cold, "Rather than encounter someone like you, it is better to continue to be an orphan."
It was suffocating.
Jiang Shan struggled to jump forward. There was endless darkness and unknown ahead, but as his legs suddenly relaxed, Jiang Shan felt that he was finally free.
Her feet landed on the solid ground, and she touched her calf with her hands, where a small piece of flesh was torn off.
The father is crazier than the daughter and has a strong and violent desire to control, so he raised a crazy daughter. Jiang Shan felt that he should have read a book on family education before.
"Zizi~"
At a certain moment, Jiang Shan wanted to throw the radio away so that he wouldn't hear the annoying sound, but the radio was given to Jiang Shan by Nurse Zhang, and now it was just contaminated by this thing.
"If you don't go to the basement, you will...die..."
Jiang Shan directly removed the battery from the radio and stuffed it back into his neck with an expressionless expression.
A weak flashlight shone on a building map. Zhao Ying was studying while lying down with a pen in her mouth. Zhang Zheng felt hot and stuffy all over. They had stayed in this library for too long, and he was now in a semi-dehydrated state. .
"Did the research reveal anything?"
Zhao Ying said: "This library has been expanded too many times, and many structures can no longer be seen as they were originally. For example, the outer walls are made of solid quartz stone, but the stairs and floors inside are made of wood that is easy to decay. , one thing I find even more strange is, why is there so much titanium dioxide filled in this building?”
Titanium dioxide is usually used for heat insulation, and this titanium dioxide was suddenly filled in large amounts during the last expansion.
Weirdly, the exterior wall (quartz stone) of this library is already very solid. The date of the last expansion shocked Zhao Ying, which was eight months ago.
Eight months ago? Isn't that the critical time period before and after the erosion event occurs?
The depressing atmosphere coupled with a dry mouth can really make you feel depressed. Zhang Zheng raised his hand to touch the sweat, but naturally he could only touch the mask. He seemed a little impatient and said to Zhao Ying: "You studied this for a long time?" He didn't say anything.
Zhao Ying also wants to make progress, but it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. She can't even find the information now, so how can she get more information?
Gao Wenwu said: "Where is the predecessor of the library? What kind of building is it?"
Zhao Ying thought about it: "It used to be a wasteland, and there were no residents around. There seemed to be an air-raid shelter before... Wait, an air-raid shelter?"
Gao Wenwu also paused. They guessed that the basement existed earlier than the library, so there were no other buildings here before. "So in fact, this so-called 'basement' is most likely the former air-raid shelter that was abandoned and renovated." of?"
"It's so possible!" Zhao Ying immediately found the entry point, "So there must be a previous entrance to the air raid shelter, and you can enter the basement through this entrance."
Suddenly the intercom started ringing, and several people suddenly became energetic.
"Jiang Shan, are you okay?" Everyone is most worried about Jiang Shan, who is responsible for diverting dangerous shadows alone.
Jiang Shan's voice came: "Zhao Ying, where are you? You're not far away, are you?" Jiang Shan's tone was unusually anxious.
Zhao Ying circled around: "We seem to be in... a corner. Where are you?"
"We were deceived," Jiang Shan calmly told the story. "No matter what reason he couldn't go by himself, at least the things in the basement were not good things."
Logically speaking, after becoming a shadow creature, it becomes more omnipotent and pervasive. My arms can be extended infinitely, so why can’t I enter a mere basement?
Zhao Ying, who was still studying hard just now, looked at the two teammates beside her, her eyes seemed to flash with shock.
"Or, maybe... it's because the basement does not belong to the library itself?" This thing is like an existence like an earthbound spirit, and can only move within the area of his obsession, even though the basement seems to be completely separate from the library. One body, however, is a no-go for the shadow that has become human.
Zhang Zheng is set as a young and irritable guy. There is also a background story about him. In fact, he is the kind of person who lives a vicious and unpleasant life. But he is really a good person. He can sacrifice for his partners without hesitation at critical moments. Among the team members Zhao Ying and Gao Wenwu both treat him as a younger brother. Let's give the grumpy driver some opportunities and don't hate him too much.
