This is definitely something surprising to me.

You must know that the dilapidated road has always maintained its original state. Not to mention the common horn sound on the road, you must know that even the speed of that thing is maintained at a constant speed.

Xie Chen quickly looked over there, and saw that a very slow car passed by his sight.

Xie Chen wanted to stand up and check, after all, the author couldn't see any clues.

But I found that my legs were not strong enough.

Xie Chen immediately frowned and his eyes shifted to his feet.

This feeling is not that your feet are weak or that you have lost control of your feet.

I still have feeling in my feet, and I can even exert strength. If I exert a little force, I can still see the muscles twitching.

But in such a situation, it seemed that his feet were unable to support him and the whole person was lifted up. The knee in the middle, which was used as a support, could not use that force to hold up the whole person.

Xie Chen was very confused.

He even touched the knees on both sides with his palms, but found nothing wrong.

This does not mean that the knee has no feeling, or that the knee has no use.

It was as if something had grabbed hold of his body and wouldn't allow him to get up.

Xie Chen suddenly felt bad inside.

I've been feeling uneasy since the beginning, and now I finally know where the problem lies.

Ever since I sat on this chair, something had already done something to my body.

Before I knew it, it was now difficult to even leave this chair.

Xie Chen pressed hard on the bench under his butt with both hands, trying hard to stand up, but there seemed to be a stronger force holding down his shoulders.

Xie Chen twisted his body, trying to interfere with the pressure exerted on his shoulders and thighs, but it was to no avail. It had no effect at all.

Even through the closed glass door of the shop in front, I could see myself sitting on the street, messing around like a fool.

Xie Chen really wanted to curse, but it was of no use.

That invisible force seemed to be exerted on himself.

Xie Chen looked at the glass in front of him. He only took a glance at it at first, but when he took a second look, he found a black figure standing behind him in the glass door in front.

Xie Chen turned around in panic, only to find that there was nothing.

The only black color is the shadow reflected behind you after being illuminated by the sun.

But he turned his head again and glanced at the glass door in front of him.

I was very sure in my heart that that thing was definitely not my shadow.

No wonder the rule of being alone outside makes you rest in front of a mirror or glass more often.

There are really things outside that you can't see that are following you, and even affecting your behavior.

If someone had just seen him, he didn't know that a black shadow was standing behind him, restricting his movements.

In the eyes of others, he was frowning inexplicably, gritting his teeth and rubbing his butt on the bench next to the street.

He even put his hands on the bench and gritted his teeth, looking particularly energetic.

This kind of strange behavior will undoubtedly be judged as crazy by others, but is he really crazy?

Xie Chen took a breath of cold air.

Because I brought this situation into my life, I couldn't help but think of the bridge. The weird behavior that the woman just did before the car exploded.

Xiechen's arms were shaking a little, and he really couldn't believe it.

If a woman wants to follow her, she can just get out of the car, or just sit calmly in the car and check.

But what if the woman’s original intention is not to harm or stalk her, but to seek help from herself?

Suppose that woman is facing her current situation. She is about to get out of the car, or is following her, trying to get her to help, but when she gets out of the car, a black shadow directly presses her entire face. On the car window glass...

Then it all makes sense.

Moreover, the black shadow himself cannot see it. In his eyes, it is the woman who makes these strange actions.

Xie Chen was a little uneasy.

Although thinking about this clearly, it is possible to clear the suspicion of the woman who died in the fire, but now she is also facing this situation.

Xie Chen looked at the transparent glass in front of him, and the reflection shone into his pupils.

Now there is still a black shadow behind him, but there is more than just one black shadow.

The black shadow he saw first was on his shoulder, and another black shadow suddenly appeared in the mirror, standing behind and to his right.

Compared with the original shadow next to it, this black shadow looks a little different.

The black shadow that came from behind seemed smaller. Although it was exactly the same in shape, it was not as strong as the black shadow at the beginning.

A black shadow had already immobilized him, and now a second black shadow suddenly appeared. How should he deal with it?

Xie Chen was filled with panic. The moment the car exploded for the second time, his pocket watch ability had disappeared.

Obviously the duration is ten minutes, but the total time from opening to disappearing is definitely not more than one minute.

If the pocket watch's ability to recover can only be used once, then it will be useless no matter how you use it now.

I have no way to get rid of these shadows for the time being. Even if I have another chance, I will be entangled by these shadows.

The ending is also impossible to break away, and may even be entangled until death like a woman.

My brain is running rapidly now, trying to find some way to deal with it, but after thinking about it for a while, I don't have any clue.

Xie Chen felt a little uncomfortable all over his body. If it hadn't been through the piece of glass in front of him, he wouldn't have felt so uncomfortable.

But looking at it through the glass now, the black shadow behind him was resting on his shoulders, making his shoulders, which were fine at first, even more numb.

Xie Chen struggled a little, but it still didn't help and continued in his original state.

In this situation, there is no way to solve the problem just by swinging the body. The only thing I can think of is to start with the rules and see if I can find a solution.

But I thought about all the rules from beginning to end, but I couldn't find any solution to this situation.

There are only two rules that are relevant.

One of them contained footsteps, but from just now until now, apart from his own footsteps, he had not heard any other unusual footsteps.

This thing is fundamentally different, and even if you want to use your own footsteps to cover up the sounds of other footsteps, it is simply impossible.

So which one is the problem?

Is it possible that the sound of footsteps has not occurred yet, and that other abnormal phenomena are occurring now?

This situation is more likely than the first conjecture, and I am more inclined to the second one.

But now, the reason why I can see the two black figures behind me is that I can't even restore my ability to move.

The reason why you can see the black shadow also relies on the second related rule.

Relying on the transparent glass that appeared in front of him, he could barely see clearly.

And the specific content of that rule is now reappearing in my mind.

That thing is the same as the rules hanging in the banner, and it is listed in the ninth one.

[Glass and mirrors are good things. You can rest near them for a while. Shy guys don’t dare to face themselves, but be careful. Shame can turn into anger. 】

Xie Chen didn't quite understand the meaning of this.

When you can rest nearby, does it mean that when you want to rest, you should rest near these things?

I recalled that there were two pairs of large road reflectors placed on the sides of the two chairs I was sitting on when I first left home.

And both mirrors can reflect where he is sitting.

It's just that the mirror appears behind me, not in front of me.

Is it possible that as soon as he stops to rest, he will be haunted by the shadows behind him?

If mirrors are useful, why can’t the glass in front of me have any effect on my current situation?

Even the woman who was killed earlier was also killed while sitting in a car with a windshield in front and two mirrors on the side?

This doesn’t make sense…

Xie Chen bit his lip and continued to interpret the contents of the ninth rule in his mind.

I am a little clearer on what the previous one means.

It is easy to interpret the literal meaning. It is nothing more than telling yourself that it is best to rest near a mirror or glass when you are tired.

But what does the following sentence "Shy guys don't dare to face themselves" mean?

I don’t quite understand it yet.

Does it mean that the chosen ones dare not face themselves?

But I am not shy, so why do I dare not face myself when sitting in front of a mirror or glass?

Xie Chen felt helpless for a while, unable to understand the meaning of it at all.

After repeating the sentence several times, suddenly another light flashed in his eyes.

Xie Chen raised his head and glanced at the transparent glass in front of him. The two black figures inside were still standing behind him, but when he stared carefully, their standing posture was a little different from that of normal people.

It seems to be slightly lower.

Because the proportions of the head and body are not the same, although only a dark shadow can be seen clearly, the whole body cannot be clearly seen.

"Could it be..."

Xie Chen felt that something was wrong, and he seemed to have found a clue.

If the shy guy is not referring to himself, is it possible that he is the dark shadow hiding behind him?

As for why the woman still died in the hands of the shadow in an area full of mirrors and glass, it may have something to do with the last part of the rule.

[Affront can also turn into anger...]

Xie Chen had some insights, and finally understood why the two black figures standing behind him lowered their heads a little.

Isn't that just shyness?

Since it does not refer to oneself, the rule refers to how the chosen one can save his life in the face of such an emergency?

But how can we let the two black figures standing behind know their appearance?

As long as they don't raise their heads, they may not be able to see their own faces clearly. No matter how shy they are, they still have to sit on this bench unable to move.

While Xie Chen was still distressed, he had no choice but to try to use his own thoughts.

"You two ugly bastards, how dare you stand behind me?!"

Xie Chen punched the chair next to him with one hand.

I originally thought it would make a lot of noise like this, but the chair was made of solid wood. Not only did it fail to achieve the effect I expected when I punched it, but the place where my fist came into contact with the bench was even a little red.

Xie Chen's palms twitched a little, and he was almost unable to recover from the severe pain.

I originally wanted to pretend to be angry and say the next sentence, but now I can only hold it back.

Before I could say anything, I was stunned for a while.

It looked like he was holding back his temper and didn't speak, but in fact this process was just to relieve pain.

If I hadn't held it back, I would have shed tears now.

After almost a minute, I finally regained my composure.

After raising his head again, fortunately, the two black figures standing behind him did not raise their heads to check the glass.

This situation also gave me a chance to relax, at least now my situation would not be exposed.

"How many more times do I have to say it!"

"Damn, can you two ugly things get away from me?"

"If I really don't say anything, just pretend that I don't know, right?"

Xie Chen turned his head angrily and yelled. Although he didn't feel anything on his shoulders originally, now he only felt that his whole shoulders seemed to be much lighter.

This ease is not easy to notice.

Xie Chen gritted his teeth, pretending to be gritting his teeth, raised his hand again and pointed at the glass in front, and looked over.

I also want to see how the two black figures behind me will react after yelling at me a few times.

As he pointed to the glass in front, he found that the two black figures behind him had indeed taken a few steps back from him, and were no longer as close as before.

But even so, he still couldn't get up and was still restricted to this bench and couldn't move.

But there are more places where you can struggle. At least you can slowly lift your feet a little, and you can get some reaction when you exert force.

I still want to say something, but because the woman's fate is ahead, I can't open my mouth now and continue to push further.

Xie Chen just held it in and continued to sit where he was, thinking of countermeasures, and seeing if there were any other ways to make the two black figures realize what he looked like.

It's just that now it's difficult for me to even stand up. I can't get support from other props. Even if I rack my brains, I can't think of a good solution.

Xie Chen breathed out, and just wanted to see if he could continue talking, but found that through the glass in front of him, the two guys in life seemed to be far away from each other.

I couldn't wait to lift my feet, and was surprised to find that I could stand up again.

Taking advantage of this moment, Xie Chen immediately stood up and left the chair on the roadside. Through the transparent mirror of the shop in front of him, he could clearly see that as he stood up, the two black figures behind him immediately disappeared.
