Seeing this scene, Shen Xing seemed to have expected it.
From the moment he called Zhao Wenbo, he felt something was wrong. Although the space on the second floor below was relatively wide, it was very quiet now.
If he spoke casually, people on this floor should be able to hear him, unless Zhao Wenbo was unconscious or not here at all.
Now it turns out that the person holding the other end of the thread is indeed not Zhao Wenbo, but this strange woman in gray.
The woman didn't make any move, even though Shen Xing was standing not far away from her.
There was no sign of Zhao Wenbo around, so I didn't know where this kid had gone.
Perhaps something happened to him and Creamer at the same time. Both of their strings were broken, and Zhao Wenbo's string was caught by the woman in gray. As for Creamer's string, it was pulled off by something, and it appeared outside just now. That scene.
At this moment, Shen Xing felt his waist being pulled twice by a string. This was because the security guard and the police officer outside were testing whether something was wrong with him.
He also tugged on the string twice and responded that he was fine.
Focusing again on the motionless woman in the corner, Shen Xing grabbed Zhao Wenbo's string and pulled it tentatively.
He wanted to see if this woman would respond to him again.
But this time, the woman in gray did not pull the string in response, but slowly raised her head. There seemed to be water stains on her long hair, revealing her chubby cheeks and a pair of completely black eyes. Staring at Shen Xing not far away.
Shen Xing did not leave, but carefully observed whether the woman had a body or was ethereal. If she had a body, she could use physical attacks.
After looking at it for a moment, there was no black shadow around the woman's body, but strangely, there was no red aura under the strange eyes, which made Shen Xing feel puzzled.
It seems that the different pupils cannot filter all abnormalities into red.
Shen Xing tugged on the string in her hand again.
The woman in gray clothes seemed to be a little angry, she opened her lips, raised her hands straight up, walked towards Shen Xing, and made a terrifying sound from her mouth.
"Ah~ah~ah~ah~"
Shen Xing did not use the telescopic stick to attack, but stretched out his right hand with a black rubber glove in advance and punched the woman in gray on the head.
He used six levels of strength in this punch.
With a bang, the woman flew backwards, her head deformed, and black liquid flowed out. She hit the corner and fell down, no longer moving.
Now when it comes to physical attacks, the telescopic stick is not as strong as his own fist.
Shen Xing took a few steps closer and looked at the woman's appearance after she fell to the ground. It seemed that she would not get up again.
He did not reach out to touch the woman in gray, but pulled off the thread she was holding, and searched this layer carefully, but found nothing else.
He turned around and walked towards the stairs, preparing to go down to the third floor and continue searching.
Using a flashlight, Shen Xing was suddenly startled when he walked out of the piled old bookcases.
In his eyes, he could only see the familiar fat figure of the woman in gray walking upstairs, and vaguely saw her back disappearing into the darkness.
Shen Xing stood there in astonishment.
He clearly remembered that before he came over, he specifically looked at the ghost that was knocked down by his punch. The woman in gray had her head broken and unknown black water flowed out, and she was still lying there.
But what happened to that back view just now?
Could it be another ghost? Still exactly the same?
Shen Xing turned around in disbelief and returned to the corner where he was. He looked down and saw that the woman in gray clothes was still lying on the ground, maintaining the same posture as before.
"Could it be that the twin sisters died here?" Shen Xing guessed.
But then he shook his head.
He stopped thinking about it and came to the stairs again. He looked up and looked at the direction of the other woman in gray going upstairs. He still chose to go downstairs and walk to the third floor below.
This time, when he just reached the corner of the stairs, his eyes moved and he found that the mental antibody value under the corner of his eyes began to decrease.
The rate of decline was very slow, slower than before, but this showed that he had been affected by an abnormal mental attack.
At this rate, it will take a long time to reduce the progress bar by one, but there is no need to panic.
Shen Xing still moved forward, but his vigilance was raised to the highest level. As he walked down the stairs, he looked left and right, and then was slightly startled.
He found that this place was almost the same as the stairwell where he had just gone downstairs, because there was a broken light switch on the wall at the stairwell, and the damaged wires were exposed, and even the location of the break was exactly the same.
And according to Li Naijing, there is only the negative third floor here. Logically speaking, she should be on the negative third floor now, but when she looked down, she saw that there were stairs extending downward.
Shen Xing used his flashlight to shine on the space near this floor. The empty bookcases and tattered tables and chairs were indeed still on the negative second floor. It seemed as if he had never left at all.
Now, I seem to have fallen into the Penrose ladder that Li Naijing said that they also fell into last time.
Shen Xing no longer chose to go down, but just like the weird figure of the woman in gray, she walked up to the negative level.
After going up a flight of stairs, he stopped quickly and looked around. He was shocked again.
No matter whether he was going upstairs or downstairs, he was back at the stairwell of the second floor.
Shen Xing was unwilling to give in. He felt that this might not be the second floor below, but might be another space. He then used a flashlight to search on the first floor where the worn-out wardrobes were piled up. He soon found the one lying in the corner. The woman in gray with a broken head.
The other party's position on the ground did not move.
He glanced at the progress of the mental antibodies under the corner of his eye. It slowed down very slowly, which meant that he was still under mental attack, causing him to be trapped on the negative second floor.
"Is there something wrong with the second floor below, or is there something wrong with the stairs?"
Shen Xing thought carefully as he returned to the stairs.
No matter what went wrong, he speculated, but no text prompts popped up in his mind.
This isn't the first time it didn't pop up, last time during the wardrobe incident, it didn't pop up either. However, it turned out later that Shen Xing had misjudged the abnormal target that time.
But this time it was obvious that there was something abnormal about the female ghost in gray, the stairs or the second negative floor, or the entire annex building of the library.
But after estimation, there is still no feedback from any text prompts.
Shen Xing couldn't help but began to suspect that maybe it was because he was in this weird space. No matter how he speculated, it might be invalid.
It is very likely that Li Naijing and Zhao Wenbo at this time, like themselves, are also trapped on a certain staircase and unable to get out.
He cheered up and prepared to continue upstairs to the negative floor.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in the darkness, like a person whispering to himself.
"Down below, go down..."
Shen Xing was startled, and another voice sounded again.
"Above, they are above, go quickly..."
