Creak, creak, buzz, buzz buzz...

After thinking about the logical cause and effect, Chen Xiaoyao suddenly felt that time was running out. Under the urgency, the young man suddenly became angry and cursed frequently. Although he greeted and cursed his family, his movements did not stop. After that, he just stayed next to the machine and worked. He was cursing in anger as he shook his head.

It is conceivable that even Chen Xiaoyao can quickly figure out the truth, why can't others understand it? Why is it not clear? Just when Chen Xiaoyao was standing in front of an intersection motor cranking the generator and cursing, his vision moved sideways, past the central villa, and finally came to a dense patch of grass adjacent to the villa...

Creak, creak, buzz, buzz buzz.

"The curse next door to Mahle, you will not die well! You will not die well!"

The same shaking sound, the same curse words. If you look closely through the grass, you will see a generator displayed in the grass, and there is also a person beside the motor, a young man with a hairy head who is gnashing his teeth and cursing in a low voice. He cursed, but he never stopped moving, always holding the joystick tightly and turning in circles. The actual state was almost the same as that of Chen Xiaoyao. Of course, if you have to look for differences, strictly speaking there are a few differences. Yes, compared to Due to the open area where Chen Daoshi was located, he could only work openly and openly. However, the motor located in the dense grass was obviously much hidden. Because the location of the motor was relatively hidden, Li Tianheng did not act openly and openly. Instead, he knelt down half-kneeling on the ground and shook it, using the cover of the grass to secretly Charging, it’s a pity...

Although the grass can cover the body to a certain extent and facilitate concealment, Li Tianheng's anxious state of mind cannot be concealed no matter what. It is obvious that, like Chen Xiaoyao, after finding the motor and starting to work, the young man with the glitch also quickly calculated the time when the motor is fully charged. The approximate time, coupled with the fact that there are too many motors, if the supervisor played by Qi comes out during this period, the consequences will be disastrous!

This is said to be true, but it is also true. In the grass, shaking his arms, turning the joystick, and staring at the pitiful value of only 0:12 on the screen, Li Tianheng was frightened and scared, fearing that an accident would occur during the period, which would lead to his already He was pressed for time and could not continue charging.

At the same time, the view shifted again, passing through the grass on the east side, passing through the adjacent tunnel, and finally came to another open area covered with weeds, which was the west corner of the manor.

Compared with the east side of the manor, which is close to the villa and is small in area, the west side area is quite spacious. Although it is also overgrown with weeds, the weeds are only in the corners. In the middle, there is a scrapped truck parked that has been unable to start. Of course, the truck It's not the point. The point is that there is also a square motor on the opposite side of the truck.

Next to the motor, Cheng Ying frowned, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes full of nervousness, and she was just staring at the screen in silence.

There is no doubt that Cheng Ying was in front of the motor. Although she did not move and just stared, she was certain that she must have turned the motor before, observed the values, and then quickly obtained the calculation results that were exactly the same as those of Chen and Li. The result was that time was running out. , even if everyone scattered around to work collectively, it still took 4 hours to complete the task.

But, something strange is...

The facts are clearly in front of us, and time is obviously tight. However, in reality, Cheng Ying did not start working as hurriedly as Chen Xiaoyao or Li Tianheng. She did not crank the electricity by hand. Instead, she frowned and pondered after testing the power generation speed. She thought for a moment, girl. He moved, turned to look behind him, and looked at an iron gate near the motor. The gate was none other than the west gate of the manor that had long been sealed due to lack of electricity.

Next, Cheng Ying moved, prompted by some unknown thoughts, and walked straight to the opposite door.

……………

Since the moonlight is exceptionally bright tonight, the field of vision range is 100 meters without using a flashlight. However, because of this, Cheng Ying's field of vision has been greatly expanded. At this moment, with the moonlight in the night sky, as soon as the power generation time is tested and calculated, the girl The thoughts have changed and the target has changed.

Instead of charging the generator immediately, she walked straight to the west gate not far away.

No one knew what Cheng Ying's intentions were, but they were certain that the girl had her own thoughts and considerations. Since the distance was not far, in just a few seconds, Cheng Ying arrived in front of the huge iron gate that was three meters high.

When I came closer and took a closer look, I saw that the iron gate was exactly the same as in the video preview. It was a railing gate. Perhaps because the manor had been abandoned for too long, the gate was now rusty and the traces of time were obvious. However, compared to ordinary iron gates, There are still differences between the iron gate and the gate in front of you. The most obvious one is that the iron gate railings are extremely thick. Even though the appearance is covered with traces of rust, the round iron pillars that are as big as arms still clearly tell onlookers that the iron gate cannot be damaged. , violent breaking of the door is purely an extravagant hope. In addition, the iron door is not locked, but the door is tightly closed, and it is directly closed. It is conceivable that facing this door in front of you, let alone a lock or even a lock, there is no door. , the iron wire is no longer useful for unlocking. In the eyes of ordinary people, they will definitely feel happy and just push the door open. Yes, if you know that an iron door is not locked, if you want to go out, you can't just push it directly. Just leave the door?

That's true, but it's a pity that things are far from as simple as imagined, and Cheng Ying has indeed shattered the above conjectures with practical actions.

Stretching out his arm and pushing hard, the iron door showed no response. Even if the force was subsequently increased, it still remained motionless.

There is no doubt that this is an electric door, a manor door that needs to be driven by electricity to be truly opened. In fact, seeing this, the answer is already obvious, that is, the curse never leaves any loopholes, and the reason for setting up so many motors is It means forcing the executor to participate in the game and forcing the executor to find motors. Unless you want to be obliterated by the rules, you can only race against time to fill up all 10 motors distributed throughout the manor before the end of the game. That's the only way. , the door will open under the power supply.

The above is the reality, the naked cruel reality, but...

Even if the iron gate is strong and indestructible, is it really impossible to get out of the manor? Is there no way to escape from here? .

Thinking of this, Cheng Ying took action.

With a certain thought in mind, Cheng Ying raised her head and looked around in front of the door, looking at the walls on both sides, and focused on the manor wall.

Similar to the 3-meter-high manor gate in front of me, the wall is also very high and basically the same as the gate.

To be honest, the height of 3 meters is indeed very high in the eyes of ordinary people. Without the use of climbing tools such as ladders, 3 meters is basically an insurmountable height distance, but! The above are just insurmountable in the eyes of ordinary people. If you put it in the eyes of a professional killer like Cheng Ying who has reached the pinnacle of human beings in terms of neurological reaction and agility, a mere 3 meters is really not enough!

so……

After confirming the height of the wall, Cheng Ying remained silent. She narrowed her eyes slightly and started to move. First she slowly took a few steps back, and then...

Da da da! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The girl rushed straight forward, moving suddenly, relying on the run-up to turn into an afterimage like a sharp arrow and rushing towards the wall. Immediately, she jumped up and ran with her feet up as she approached the wall, running on the wall with her feet at a speed comparable to the strong wind. Heading to the top, you can climb at an extremely fast speed on your own without using any climbing tools!

The result was certain. Due to her agility and extremely fast speed, Cheng Ying succeeded. She reached the end of the wall in just two seconds and rushed to the top of the wall. It was obvious that if nothing unexpected happened during the process, Cheng Ying would definitely succeed. After 1 second, climb over the wall and jump out of the manor. Now you are out of the manor, but...

Who would have thought that at the exact moment Cheng Ying reached the top of the wall, and at the same moment she was about to climb over the wall and jump down, an accident that shouldn't have happened happened!

(Huh? This, this is!)

At the top of the wall, his brows suddenly furrowed and his face changed drastically. The cause of Cheng Ying's change in expression was clearly the obstruction! Block! An unknown barrier that cannot be seen! ! !

Yes, with the agility to crush ordinary people, Cheng Ying easily jumped to the top of the wall. Logically speaking, she would climb over the wall and jump to the outside world in one second. Unexpectedly, she hit resistance midway. The moment she tried to turn over and jump down. Bounced back by an invisible resistance!

The result can be imagined...

Intercepted by resistance, Cheng Ying's plan to climb over the wall failed. Not only did the plan fail, she also fell straight back like a ball that was bounced off a racket, falling backwards without any protection. ground! If someone falls from such a height, no one will be intact. Some may be half dead, and some may even suffer broken bones, tendons, and concussion. Fortunately, Cheng Ying is not an ordinary person. She said it was too late, but soon, just when her body was about to fall. At the last moment of falling to the ground, the female killer suddenly turned around, turned her body in mid-air, and then landed face down on her feet before landing!

Whoops, boom.

Relying on such strong reflexes, Cheng Ying saved the day and fell back to the ground. But in fact, the girl no longer cared about this at the moment. She didn't care about stabilizing her body and ignored her breath. As soon as she landed, Cheng Ying's eyes widened. Looking up, he looked surprised. In surprise, he muttered to himself: "Wall of air?"

Yes, as a veteran who is used to seeing weird things, Cheng Ying knew exactly what she had just encountered. In other words, she had already thought of the answer the moment she was bounced back. As expected, it just stopped her from jumping over the wall. It should be an air wall, which is exactly what the curse has set up in advance to prevent the executors from climbing over the wall and leaving!

(It seems that the curse has indeed thought of everything in advance...)

Many times people have to face reality, especially after experimenting with the perfect ban on the manor, Cheng Ying recognized the reality clearly. What is reality? The reality is that except for charging the generator honestly, no one, including myself, can leave the manor early!

In this case, then...

"call!"

Keeping her brows furrowed, Cheng Ying exhaled and stopped trying. At the same time, she turned towards the motor and then turned the joystick to charge it.

………

Time passed by seconds in the midnight manor, and the crisis came quietly in the dark night of early morning.

The Escape to Ascension game is in progress, time is 0:29 in the morning.

As everyone discussed at the beginning, since the survival path of this mission is clear, in order to leave the manor as soon as possible, the executors must disperse whether they are willing or not and start to manually charge the generators displayed throughout the manor. At present, no matter whether Newcomers and veterans, everyone found the generator, and then turned the joystick in different places. Unfortunately, there are gains and losses. Although the generator is easy to find, there are too many generators, and the power increase is extremely large. It's slow, even though everyone is working non-stop, but it actually still takes more than 4 hours to complete.

Of course, nothing is absolute. Although the slow charging of the generator is indeed not good news, if you observe carefully and experience it carefully, some people can still find something from it, detect something, and quickly discover a phenomenon that is extremely beneficial to the executor. ,That is……

From the beginning of the game to this moment, nearly half an hour has passed. No one, whether experienced or new, has been in danger, and the manor has remained silent.

There is no doubt that, regardless of the specific origin of this silence, the executors obviously hope that this silence can last for a long time, preferably until they have fully charged all the generators, and once that time comes, no matter what happens in the manor, It has nothing to do with them anymore, and there is no threat to them who can escape the manor anyway.

The description is so, the fact is even more so, but...

While Cheng Ying and other executors were scattered around and busy, time continued to pass, and finally came to 0:30.

When the time entered half past one in the morning, the scene shifted to the dilapidated villa located in the middle of the manor.

Through the broken door and window, the bright moonlight spilled into the living room, and then completely enveloped the statue in the middle. .

Under the moonlight, the skull statue remains silent and silent. In other words, it is completely made of rock and cannot and cannot move. After all, it is just a stone. Like the scenery scattered throughout the manor, it remains frozen and silent forever. Silent, even if its shape is terrifying and frightening, it still cannot change the objective fact that it is just a stone statue.

but……

As time passed, when the time officially reached half past one in the morning, a change occurred.

Hooray, hooray.

There is no reason, no reason. As soon as the time reaches half past midnight, a cool breeze suddenly blows in the villa. A gloomy cold wind comes out of nowhere and sweeps out of nowhere. It emerges inexplicably and immediately surrounds the statue in a way that is impossible to see. It was like an invisible giant python that was moving up and down around the statue, wrapping around the whole body and circling rapidly.

Because the wind speed was so strong, the Taoist talisman that Chen Xiaoyao had affixed to the statue's body not long ago was easily blown away. It flew out of the window and disappeared without a trace in an instant, leaving only the skeleton statue surrounded by the cold wind. .

It is true that the evil wind came suddenly and strangely, but it did not last for long. After only ten seconds, the evil wind disappeared, just like when it first swept through, it suddenly appeared and disappeared instantly.

The matter is not over yet, as the dark wind that has been surrounding for a long time disappears, next...

Hiss, hiss, hiss.

The abnormal sound appeared, similar to the inexplicable wind that had just swept through it. As soon as the wind sound disappeared, a series of hissing sounds like a poisonous snake spitting messages replaced it and echoed around the scene. But unlike the whistling wind that obviously came from the outside world, this time, the abnormal sound did not come from the outside world. But it comes from the statue, and it comes from the skull statue in the middle of the living room!

Hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss...

The sound got louder and louder, until it filled the entire villa, and then, an extremely horrifying scene appeared:

With the help of the moonlight outside the window, you can see that the skull statue begins to blur. Note that the blur here does not refer to the blur of the scene environment or the blur of the observation field, but the blur of the statue itself! The skull statue alone is blurry, and double images appear without warning. It feels like a TV malfunction and two-way double images accidentally appear, affecting the field of vision and interfering with observation. The scene is difficult to describe in words. If you have to describe it forcefully, Then it can only be explained by using the same person showing two figures.

That's right, a ghost, a completely similar ghost, or the sculpture itself is not abnormal, but a black-robed skeleton that is exactly the same as the statue appears in the body of the skull statue! At present, the black-robed skeleton overlaps with the sculptured skeleton, and they are both gathered together.

And then……

Hiss, hiss, hiss!

An even more terrifying scene appeared. I don’t know whether it was due to the influence of the sound or whether the two were inherently repelling each other. Finally, when the sound reached its highest level, the black-robed skeleton that was originally overlapping the skull statue came out. It, It broke out of the statue, got rid of the overlap, and instantly regained freedom like a beast breaking free from its cage. It has evolved into an actual body, a real existence that is completely opposite to the rock!

Maintaining the hissing sound, the black-robed skeleton became a reality, regaining its truest form the moment it was freed from the shackles of the statue, and then completely descended into the human world.

At this moment, if someone is at the scene and observes carefully, they will witness the following painting scene:

In the living room where abnormal noises frequently occur, there are currently two black-robed skeletons. One is still a skull statue made of rock, but the other is the most realistic black-robed skeleton!

As far as the eye can see, the skeleton has neither flesh nor skin, and is suspended in the air in the purest state of white bones. Although it is white bones, the body is covered with a shabby black robe that is enough to cover the head and wrap the whole body. The black robe wraps the body. , only the face and hands of the skeleton are exposed, and the right hand is holding a huge scythe that is as tall as its height!

Under the moonlight, the sickle is all white, and the blade is shining with cold light! ! !

At this moment, without any logical cause and effect, a skeleton appeared in the villa, a black-robed skeleton holding a sickle!

Then……

Whoosh!

The black-robed skeleton moved without even looking at the statue next to it. As soon as it broke away from the statue and gathered its body, it had already floated away from the place and rushed towards the door, as if it had some arduous mission that it must carry out and rushed out with the dark wind. The villa suddenly floated out of the door and disappeared into the night at a speed that was obviously faster than human beings.

………

At the same time, when the black-robed skeleton rushed out of the villa, the scene shifted to an intersection on the right side of the villa.

squeak.

In front of the generator, Chen Xiaoyao stopped. He was sweating profusely and turning the joystick just now. He suddenly stopped manually generating electricity, inexplicably interrupting the power supply. As if he had been hit by a body-holding spell, his body shook first, and then became silent.

No one knows why Chen Xiaoyao suddenly stopped moving, but Chen Xiaoyao’s family knew about his own affairs, and the reason why he stopped moving like an electric shock came from the talisman! The yellow Taoist talisman that he personally affixed to the statue not long ago was also a Maoshan magic technique that had a perceptual connection with Chen Xiaoyao.

Yes, just now, at the moment when the time reached half past one in the morning, through unremitting efforts, Chen Xiaoyao, who had provided 90% of the power for the motor, discovered something. With the Taoist talisman and the caster's unique Contact instantly sensed a certain abnormality. He didn't know exactly where the abnormality was, but at least he learned about the changes from the abnormality. What were the changes? The change is that the talisman has separated from the statue!

I would like to ask, in a lifeless manor that is aware of the many dangers, what will a senior person do if something unusual is discovered? .

Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta.

In the blink of an eye, as soon as he noticed something was wrong with the Taoist talisman, without even thinking about it, Chen Xiaoyao ran away without saying a word. He didn't care to continue charging the generator and rushed directly to the villa opposite.

The result was certain. Since the villa was not far away, in just a moment, Chen Xiaoyao broke away from the night and arrived at the destination. Not only did he see the villa, but he also found a piece of yellow paper as he approached the villa. He picked it up and took a look. , it is the Maoshan Taoist talisman that he once affixed to the statue!

(The Taoist talisman did break away from the statue, but how did it break away?)

Seeing that the Taoist Talisman belonged to him, outside the villa, Chen Xiaoyao was both flustered and confused. Flustered naturally meant that his guess was correct, the Taoist Talisman had indeed separated from the statue, and confused meant that he could not understand what was going on. At this point, he I have to explain a little bit about the principle of affixing the amulets. Although Chen Xiaoyao always sticks Tao amulets casually in the past, and the Tao amulets are never mixed with any adhesive substances such as glue, it seems easy to fall off, but in fact it is not the case. Because every time Chen Xiaoyao sticks a talisman, he will instill a little spiritual power into the talisman. It is with this spiritual power that the Taoist talisman has the ability to stick firmly to any object except water and fire, unless it is violently torn or suddenly scraped to level 6 The above strong wind, otherwise the Taoist Talisman would not fall out of thin air, and this is the root cause of Chen Xiaoyao's confusion.

(Could it have been removed on purpose? Impossible? Everyone is currently busy charging, and there is obviously no motor inside the villa. Who has the time to wander around here? Since it is not caused by man, is it possible? It was driven by strong wind...).

(No, strong winds are even more impossible! From the time we entered the manor until now, there has been no strong wind here. The overall situation is calm. Let alone strong winds, there has not even been a breeze.)

(In this case, there is only one possibility left, but before that I still confirm it with my own eyes.)

"Gudu."

As thought above, after ruling out the possibility of man-made and wind blowing, the young man swallowed and his expression changed. He became alert and cautious. Then, maintaining this caution, Chen Xiaoyao slowly walked towards the villa. door……
