The head, which was only the size of a fist, was thrown from the back of the neck by Ma Shan and landed accurately on Yue Ran's neck. Then, the head, which was only the size of a fist, was like a shark smelling blood. He opened his mouth that could reach the base of his ears, revealing the sharp teeth inside, and then bit down hard on Yue Ran's neck artery.
Pain, weakness, dizziness, and the warm feeling of thick blood flowing from the biting place followed one after another, and then Yue Ran's legs weakened and he fell to the ground.
At this time, the huge centipede-like monster behind Mashan also pounced on it.
Chapter 40: Another glimpse into the secret
Tentacles composed of several dry arms held Yue Ran down as he fell to the ground, and then used the body made of countless human bodies to wrap around Yue Ran. The tentacles at the front of the centipede monster's body touched It touched Yue Ran's forehead, and then the tentacles one after another, like insects that came alive, penetrated into Yue Ran's head from the skin on his forehead.
Immediately, a mass of transparent material slowly separated from Yue Ran's head along the centipede monster's tentacles, and then melted into the centipede monster's body.
Yue Ran only felt that his vision went dark, and then his whole body seemed to be hollowed out. Well, really hollowed out. At that moment, he seemed to be floating in the desolate, empty and mysterious starry sky, surrounded by black mist. The shrill, desperate, and painful screams echoed there, and countless ferocious faces appeared and disappeared there.
In the real world, Yue Ran's injured left eye felt a twinge of pain at this moment. The feeling spread throughout his body as the despair and pain in the black mist completely eroded Yue Ran. At the same time, the injured left eye The left eye seemed like a burning star, constantly generating heat in Yue Ran's eye socket, until he felt that his eyes, his brain, and his body were completely burning with flames.
At that moment, Yue Ran let out a painful roar, and then Yue Ran opened his left eye. The scarlet and burning left eye seemed like a burning sun in the deep and mysterious starry sky.
At that moment, Yue Ran looked through the black fog and saw a huge monster with countless arms and legs. The monster danced its dark arms and legs above the fog, looking down at everything.
This reminded Yue Ran of the entrance to No. 0018. When the bloody door was pushed open, he could vaguely see the weird-looking giant monster shrouding the huge building through the fog.
"So this is what it looks like."
Yue Ran's last thought was generated, and his whole body was like a stone thrown into the sea, falling continuously, and the feeling of weightlessness spread throughout his body.
Yue Ran could feel the pain of sharp teeth piercing his skin, the suffocation of dry arms strangling his neck, and the weakness of the transparent substance being absorbed from his body.
His consciousness returned, Yue Ran opened his eyes, his left eye had turned scarlet, and then a huge spirit burst out from his left eye, removing Ma Shan's fist-sized head and the huge centipede-shaped body on his body. The monsters made of countless human bodies bounced away, then turned into ashes and disappeared into the air.
Immediately afterwards, a cloud of blood mist appeared around Yue Ran, and the blood mist closed up, covering him in the blood mist.
When the blood mist dissipated, the dazzling light shone through the eyelids onto Yue Ran's retina, and tiny blood streaks appeared in front of his eyes.
"Yu Ning, what's wrong with you?"
A familiar voice rang in Yue Ran's ears. He opened his eyes. Zhang Yuan, with his small eyes and high nose, was standing in front of him holding a flashlight he found from nowhere. The dazzling light that shined through his eyelids just now came from that flashlight. Emitted from the flashlight.
"you are not······"
Yue Ran, who was full of doubts, was just about to ask why Zhang Yuan appeared here. Then he saw behind Zhang Yuan a simple clock about two meters high standing there. The huge pendulum was reflecting the light regularly. The dazzling light of the flashlight was swinging in the clock base, and Yue Ran's front face and Zhang Yuan's back were just reflected on the clock base.
At that moment, Yue Ran seemed to understand what had just happened.
"What happened after Zhang Yuan and I entered the teaching building of the junior high school were all hallucinations, including Zhang Yuan's unexplained disappearance, the appearance and changes of Ma Shan later, and the person who came out of the classroom door that was pushed open later. , the human centipede with its dry arms and legs is also an illusion, and the culprit that made me fall into the hallucination is this clock full of ancient atmosphere."
Yue Ran briefly recalled what happened after he and Zhang Yuan came in together.
"It's probably because it's time to turn off the lights here, so all the lights in the lobby on the first floor and even in the entire teaching building were turned off. And the flashlight Zhang Yuan found from nowhere made this quaint clock inadvertently reflect on me. , at this time, the base of this ancient clock is equivalent to a mirror, and according to the survival rules given to me by the system, do not look in the mirror after turning off the lights, otherwise you will be lost in the mirror, and I was lost in the mirror just now, well , it should be like this.”
After Yue Ran roughly figured out the whole story of what he just experienced based on his own guess, he smiled bitterly in his heart.
"The most embarrassing thing about this matter is that we can't know the specific time when the lights will be turned off. Who would have thought that anything that can reflect a portrait can be considered a mirror."
Yue Ran's guess turned out to be correct, but he forgot that there was another survival tip given to him by the system, which was to abide by the school rules. As for what the rules were, he needed to find out by himself.
So he completely ignored the possibility that "not looking directly at the ancient clock in the dark" was a school rule.
But this is no longer important. After all, Yue Ran himself came to the conclusion that he "cannot look directly at the clock."
This is a classic process of getting all the wrong answers and all the answers.
Seeing that Yue Ran's eyes gradually regained their clarity, Zhang Yuan continued to speak.
"Do you know how scary you were just now? You kept squeezing my neck. What's even more incomprehensible is that you put your fingers together and then poked my chest. If I hadn't been quick to think, I kept shining the flashlight With your eyes, I’ve probably been strangled to death by you now.”
Zhang Yuan rubbed his neck and complained to Yue Ran, looking like a little girl who had been wronged.
Yue Ran felt a little uncomfortable when his eyes were dazzled by the flashlight in Zhang Yuan's hand, but he did not dare to directly face the clock base that could reflect him, so he had to endure the dryness in his eyes while turning around and body , Don't let your eyes look directly at the ancient clock.
"sorry."
Yue Ran didn't know how to explain, so he just apologized.
