Xie Chen walked outside little by little. His speed was not particularly fast, but the light emanating from his body was enough to help him illuminate the road ahead.
This actually made me less worried.
It was said before that by relying on the light emitted from one's body, one can enhance one's immunity to strange things.
Does this sentence mean that the ball of light has put all its abilities into itself, and that he is the incarnation of the ball of light?
Although it is very simple to say and easy to understand.
But when put together, it makes me feel that this is an incredible thing.
He and she have always been on tit-for-tat opposites, how could he suddenly become so easy to talk to?
And he is willing to use all his abilities, which is simply incredible.
I was not dazzled by joy, and I was also concerned about my current situation.
What I'm afraid of is that this thing may have done something to my body, or maybe it may have a back-up plan.
In times of danger, it would be fine if you are not on the opposite side. Once you are on the opposite side, it will be particularly detrimental to you.
I also recognize this very clearly.
But now that things have happened, it is useless no matter how careful you are and regret it. In your own hands, this is more like a double-edged sword, it depends on how you want to use it.
After walking forward for such a long distance, Xie Chen felt a little relieved when he realized that nothing much had changed and his body was not out of control.
But even so, he hasn't left this area yet. Even if the light ball has disappeared, he doesn't take any chances.
Some of them were illuminated by the faint fluorescent light emitted from their bodies, and they could barely see the road clearly.
This actually allowed Xie Chen to reach the area ahead quickly.
Although there were some obstacles in the middle, and the water flow started to flow out little by little for some reason, but fortunately it did not affect my pace.
As we continued to move forward, there were no more pauses in the middle.
Xie Chen quickly came to the side of the aisle and opened the gap little by little with his hands.
I don’t know if it’s because I made a mistake in my judgment or if it was an illusion. Anyway, the gap in front of me seems much smaller compared to before.
It would be very difficult for a person to pass through.
But he thought that he had kicked from the outside in, so even if this happened, it was normal. The collapse of the board was from the inside, so if he wanted to get out from the inside, he would naturally be subject to many restrictions.
After Xiechen broke open the wooden boards, he also got out, but in the process, the light that was originally shining on his body slowly floated upward little by little, and then turned into a faint fluorescence.
I didn't notice it at first, and I even thought it was fireflies flying out from behind. You must know that I wasn't using a pocket watch, so this situation was normal.
But as he got out of the hole, more and more fluorescence was emitted, and there were a lot of them at a glance.
Xie Chen lowered his head and took a look, only to realize that the layer of light on his arms had disappeared, leaving only a faint part of his clothes.
Despite this, Xie Chen still grabbed it with his hand without hesitation, trying to prevent this layer of light from disappearing.
But this action seemed to be superfluous. As he pressed down his arm, the light that began to slowly dissipate around him not only did not ease, but more of it floated out.
Along with the mud that wrapped the wall, part of it was also stuck on.
Xie Chen felt a little at a loss. Could it be that the things that the light ball imposed on him were only effective within this area?
If that's the case, wouldn't he be just like a clown?
She had broken herself into pieces, but she had given herself such a small thing, and she couldn't hold it for long...
"Forget it, forget it, it's something you can't keep anyway."
Xie Chen frowned and shook his hand, no longer grabbing his sleeves.
Naturally, he didn't even look back.
What he had to do now was to go back the way he came. Xie Chen walked back little by little, passing the lights above his head one by one as usual.
If I hadn't gone through this journey before, I might have felt like I was still repeating the original cycle.
But there is one thing I don't know.
Every time he took a step forward, an extra point of light appeared behind him. The light point that had previously dissipated in front of him reappeared behind him.
Although these lights are not particularly obvious, they are only taken out individually.
A large number of light spots rotated and merged together, like swarms of fireflies, following behind him.
And with every step he took, there were more light spots behind him, and the number continued to add up.
Unfortunately, it wasn't bright enough, so it didn't attract my attention.
Those light spots just kept floating behind them, and disappeared immediately after being illuminated by the dim light.
Although it feels a bit strange, no one saw this scene.
As Xie Chen's steps forward slowly slowed down, these light spots following behind floated faster until they gradually merged into Xie Chen's back.
The latter didn't notice it at all, and there was no discomfort in his body as usual.
Just walking forward a little bit, and then came out of the tunnel's exit.
Xie Chen came to the cellar again, where the damp and unpleasant smell still filled his nostrils.
I just want to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible. After all, the smell is too unpleasant. If I continue to stay here, I will be sick to death.
The questions of the four robots have now been resolved. The most important thing is to hurry over to Big Ben.
But there were a lot of ways to stop time in the middle, but I didn’t know exactly how much time it took, so I had to go out and get a clock to check.
Xie Chen climbed up little by little. There were only vines going down. There was only one way to get back up.
This is not like an attic where there is a staircase for you to climb. You have to hold on to everything by yourself.
But even though he was strong enough, the vines in front of him were very slippery.
It also has something to do with the surrounding air humidity. After all, the humidity is not low.
Moreover, the vine is still alive, not dried out and withered. It becomes slippery under such humidity. If you want to grab it with your hands, you can't even wrap it around it.
If you wrap it around twice, it will affect your climbing speed when you climb up, which is also a waste of money.
Xie Chen was immediately distressed. He was not good at climbing, and it would waste a lot of time to do this to him.
When Xie Chen thought of time in his mind, his eyes immediately lit up.
If he relied on the time-stop effect of his pocket watch, he might actually be able to crawl out of this hole.
As soon as he thought of this possibility, Xie Chen immediately pressed the pocket watch in his hand. Now he took it out of his pocket and pressed it with his hand, which can be said to be done in one go.
I already have a lot of experience with this set of moves.
While pressing the pocket watch, he had already turned the vines above into several arcs with his hands, just like natural bends.
Because the time listening effect of the pocket watch focuses on freezing the vines in front of you, the vines in front of you will not deform unless time continues to pass.
Its state will last as long as it is frozen.
This is also a routine that I figured out later using the ability of pocket watches.
As long as you concentrate on using the pocket watch on a certain item, the ability of the pocket watch will be further amplified and the restrictions will be much greater.
Xie Chen didn't waste time, but grasped the corner of the vines with both hands, and there was just a place for him to put his hands on.
In addition, he slowly bent his hand forward, which can be regarded as a perfect force. It is obvious that the effect has perfectly met his expectations.
Xie Chen then grinned and slowly put his lower foot on the curved part so that his whole body could use his strength better.
After a while of busy work, I finally started to climb up gradually.
And because the height was not much at all, we finally reached the top soon.
Xie Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
Leaning against the wooden box next to him, he finally had some time to look at his pocket watch.
Although the climb up didn't feel like it took much time, it still took nearly eight minutes.
Xie Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Of course he was really tired, but there was nothing he could do about it.
But what surprised me a little was the way the pocket watch was used this time.
Although I had figured out how to use it before, when I first used it, I was still a little unsure.
But now that it was like this, Xie Chen also had other thoughts and wanted to test his conjecture.
"At worst, I'll just try again..."
If the guess fails, it's just a matter of climbing again.
But if the final guess succeeds, the result will be different.
Xie Chen made up his mind and pressed his hand, and the time around him stopped. At this time, he also focused all his attention on himself.
What I just pressed is the retrace function. What I want to try is to focus on myself and see if I can get rid of the fatigue that only affects myself without disturbing the surrounding environment.
In short, it means only looking back at your own physical state, without looking back at the surrounding environment.
As his inner thoughts became more and more serious, the surrounding environment did not change as time passed.
A look of joy appeared on Xie Chen's face.
I didn't expect that the suspicion in my heart actually came true.
Although there is only such a small change, it also represents the ability of the pocket watch to deal with a wider variety of situations.
This is very good news for myself.
The whole person's physical condition was somewhat restored through the retrospective function, which also made Xie Chen feel a lot more relaxed.
After slowly getting up, Xie Chen opened the wooden box stuck next to him, and then slowly walked past.
The road has become much wider, making it easier to walk.
After walking through the aisle lined with wooden boxes, Xie Chen finally returned to the place where the coffee table was.
There was a big change when I came out this time. The stench that had lingered for a long time had disappeared, and what was left was a nice sandalwood scent.
The smell is quite refreshing.
There is not much physical fatigue, the only thing left is mental fatigue.
The tiredness that was tortured by the strangeness and the ball of light was greatly relieved by the sandalwood fragrance.
After arriving at the door of the store again, the fresh air from outside flowed in and penetrated into his nostrils.
Xie Chen felt completely at ease, and with the woody fragrance lingering around him, he was more energetic than ever before, making his whole body extremely excited.
Xie Chen, who was standing at the door, frowned and stepped back slightly after stretching.
After returning to the shop, he looked to the side again.
The stairs leading to the second floor looked very disgusting.
Just when he came out, he had already caught a glimpse of this strange thing from the corner of his eye.
But the back foot had already moved forward and did not stop.
Now that he had confirmed that he had really returned to the store and that the streets outside had not changed, he followed him back to the stairs inside.
Xie Chen frowned and looked at the stairs that were full of mold. They were even dark, but not to the point where they were crawling with maggots.
My nose didn't smell anything strange, and the woody fragrance that lingered around me just from the beginning didn't dissipate over time.
"Is this what this broken staircase really looks like?"
Xie Chen walked forward and muttered to himself.
No wonder I felt so slippery when walking before. It turned out that the soles of my shoes were stepping on such disgusting things.
These steps are basically covered with mold. The only difference is the degree of blackness of the steps.
When he looked up at the iron door at the top of the steps, the door that was originally tied with an iron chain and had an iron lock had disappeared, and only two white door panels remained in its place.
And compared with the previous iron guy, these two pieces are just incomplete rotten wood.
But if it were just these two pieces of white rotten wood, that would be fine.
Xie Chen squinted his eyes. There were several small palm prints on the two almost rotten wooden boards.
The palm prints were very dark, as if they were holding a child's hands and wrapping them on the steps below, and finally being pressed on the wooden boards on both sides in front of them.
Xie Chen felt a little scared.
Originally, I didn't want to go up, and I didn't have this idea, but now this thing is like telling myself openly that there is something on the second floor, and it depends on whether you dare to come up.
The previously locked door was now gone, as if it were a sign.
This is consistent with my guess.
The only thing that can imprison that ball of light is Weirdness.
But just imprisoning the light ball here without any intention of guarding it is really unjustifiable.
When I faced the locked door on the stairs before, I already had some expectations in my mind.
The current result is exactly the same as my guess, not even a little different.
Xie Chen slowly stepped on the first step, and the familiar slippery feeling made the soles of his feet numb.
It would be okay if you didn't see the black mold covering it.
But the problem is that this thing has been seen by him for a long time, and even if he wants to forget it in his mind, he really can't.
Xie Chen endured the nausea on the soles of his feet and walked upward little by little, and soon passed through the two wooden boards next to him.
The walkway was really disgusting, and the mold spots on it actually looked like they were floating a little bit.
Xie Chen really didn't dare to lift it up with his hands, so he kept walking in the center.
After passing the two wooden boards in front, Xie Chen walked forward little by little and came to the turning point of the corridor, but he did not walk forward in a hurry.
It's extremely dark up there, and there's not even a light on during the day.
