The scene with green faces and fangs that was originally imagined did not appear.
But just because he didn't see it didn't mean it didn't exist. The burning smell in his nose repeatedly stimulated his nerves.
Let him know that the other person is near him.
even......
Suddenly, the row of books blocking Shen Mengyun's face shook a few times. Jiang Cheng's eyebrows trembled, and with quick eyes and hands, he held Shen Mengyun's head and pressed her down.
The next second, a few books in the middle of the row of books were violently pulled out and fell to the ground with a clatter.
Seeing this scene, Shen Mengyun's face turned pale.
Jiang Cheng put his right hand on Shen Mengyun's head, and Shen Mengyun squatted beside him, trembling all over.
After the book fell, a large gap was left on the bookshelf. Through this gap, one could stand directly in front of the bookshelf and see the back.
At the same time, the wind suddenly became much stronger.
It blew in from the gap, and it also carried an extremely strong burning smell.
Now it was obvious that the invisible burnt ghost was standing in front of the bookshelf, and the straight-line distance between them was probably less than 1 meter.
There is a bookshelf in the middle.
He took out the book to confirm if anyone was hiding behind it.
Looking out of the corner of my eye, I saw that there was nothing behind the exposed gap.
But both Jiang Cheng and Shen Mengyun understood that the scorched ghost was probably putting his face there, staring inward with a pair of scorched eye holes.
This image was visualized in Shen Mengyun's mind, making her unable to stop being frightened.
If Jiang Cheng pressed her hand a second too late, or if he planned to give up on her to buy time for himself to escape, she would be faced with Ghost Face, and the consequences would be disastrous.
This man...unknowingly saved himself twice.
Jiang Cheng didn't have time to think about what Shen Mengyun thought of him. His mind was spinning so fast that he noticed an unconventional behavior on the ghost's body.
From the fact that the Burnt Ghost took out a gap to check the bookshelf, it can be seen that it has sensed that there is someone nearby, and is probably hiding in the gap between the bookshelf and the wall.
In this case, why doesn't it remove more books or simply knock down the bookshelf?
This is easy for it.
If this were the case, at least one of him and Shen Mengyun would be caught.
But it didn't.
Instead, he chose a method that was laborious and stupid in Jiang Cheng's eyes, and dug a hole out of the middle of a row of books.
Combined with the fact that the Burnt Ghost would step on Gao Yan's footprints and sneak over to take a look, this ghost's mind would not be that stupid.
So there is only one explanation left.
This is the restriction that ghosts face in missions.
Before seeing a person in person, a ghost cannot make too drastic actions. All its actions are ultimately temptations, giving people a sense of caution.
Following this line of thinking, Jiang Cheng initially guessed that the ghost must see the person with his own eyes in order to kill someone.
And at a very close distance.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for Shen Mengyun and Gao Yan to escape here alive not long ago.
A ghost must have discovered or noticed them.
They were chased by ghosts.
Could it be...Jiang Cheng frowned slightly, the conditions for this ghost to kill would be more stringent, and he must be caught or touched?
Since no victims have appeared yet, the conditions under which ghosts kill people are just speculation.
"bass--"
My ears twitched, and there was a slight sound from far away, as if a heavy table had been moved, and the corners of the table were rubbing against the ground.
Then, the wind blowing from the gap suddenly disappeared.
Later, the pungent burnt smell gradually faded away.
It seems that the ghost was attracted by the sound and left the bookshelf.
After the burning smell completely disappeared, Jiang Cheng let out a long breath. Unconsciously, cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
Sure enough, the psychological pressure of confronting such a ghost with only a bookshelf between them is beyond what ordinary people can bear.
Shen Mengyun's legs were weak, but Jiang Cheng turned sideways and helped her up.
"Thank...Thank you, Mr. Jiang." Shen Mengyun looked at Jiang Cheng and suddenly realized that this man was not as unreliable as he first thought.
He is actually a very sincere person.
"How is it?" Jiang Cheng asked after taking a breath.
"I'm fine. If it hadn't been for you just now, I might have..." Recalling the scene just now, Shen Mengyun's face turned pale.
The empty space on the bookshelf and the few books scattered on the floor constantly reminded her that she was just a little bit away from death.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Cheng did not go out rashly, "I only saw you and Gao Yan running over just now. Where is Wang Qi?"
When everyone started to separate and look for a place to hide, Jiang Cheng remembered that Wang Qi was in front of them.
He should have had an earlier encounter with the ghost.
"Wang Qi..." Shen Mengyun frowned, "I didn't see him. After running for a while, he separated from us, but he should be fine."
It seems that Wang Qi has escaped the ghost's search.
"How were you discovered?" Jiang Cheng nodded and continued to ask.
When this was mentioned, Shen Mengyun's face turned ugly, and her plump breasts undulated violently. The two of them were very close to each other, and Jiang Cheng was taller than her, so his eyes would glance at her from time to time.
"I was not discovered by that ghost. It was Gao Yan who was discovered. I hid well, but he ran over and attracted the ghost." Shen Mengyun spoke very quickly.
"Do you know how that ghost found him?" Jiang Cheng was a little curious.
After taking a few breaths, Shen Mengyun slowly calmed down, nodded his chin and said, "I know, I was hiding under a table not far from him. He was hiding between two bookshelves. I could just see him. he. "
"It was fine at first, but not long after, he reached out and took something off the bookshelf. The light was too dark, so I couldn't see what it was."
"About... probably less than 10 seconds, the ghost came over. No, it was like... like it suddenly appeared. The smell was pungent for a moment." As if recalling the scene at that time, Shen Mengyun clenched her fingers slightly, feeling nervous.
"Hourglass." Jiang Cheng thought for a moment and said.
"Yes, I also thought it was an hourglass." Shen Mengyun whispered: "But I didn't think so much at the time. When I saw Gao Yan running towards me, I panicked and ran with him. Unexpectedly, he even turned around in the middle of the run. My foot... is sprained."
After saying that, Shen Mengyun raised his head and said, "If I hadn't met you, Mr. Jiang, I'm afraid..."
Jiang Cheng simply ignored the rest. It seemed that they were exposed entirely because Gao Yan activated an hourglass without authorization.
Hourglasses can be seen everywhere in the library, and there was one on the bookshelf in front of them.
At first, they thought that the hourglass was only used to start tasks and remind the time. Now it seems that it is more than that.
