Vaguely visible through the reflection of the glass lens, there seemed to be an engraving shaped like a hound, which was engraved on the inside of the pocket watch and emitted light like a firefly. Tang Yiling gently closed the cover of the watch, played with it for a while and then silently put it back. Lined pocket.
Although this old pocket watch didn't look like a valuable item, it was the first "usable item" that Tang Yiling picked up in this maze.
And this old pocket watch is now Tang Yiling's only way to obtain the rules of the cemetery maze. Similarly, this old pocket watch also allowed Tang Yiling to rely on everything in the cemetery maze with confidence.
"I can only say that it is a [Hound] worthy of being a [Gravekeeper]. The carvings formed by just a small part of the breath can prevent intrusion from spirits within a radius of 100 meters."
Caressing the pocket watch in his inner lining pocket, Tang Yiling had to sigh.
"It's a pity that the items in this dream cannot be brought back to the real world...otherwise, based on this characteristic alone, I would have no restrictions."
Recalling the previous scene when he was forced to a dead end, and then looking at the pocket watch in his pocket, which was called a magic weapon, Tang Yiling always had an inexplicable frustration in his heart that had nowhere to vent.
"Hiss... Three hours have passed in real time, and you still haven't fully recovered..." Looking at the dark red burns that reappeared on the back of his hands, Tang Yiling had no choice but to stop recalling, lest he collapse from the same pain as before.
After he stopped reminiscing, the burn marks dissipated again and his skin returned to normal. Tang Yiling subconsciously touched Tianling Gai, which did not sting this time, thinking deeply.
"It seems that as time goes by, the pain caused by the burning seems to have weakened a lot; I don't know if I have adapted to the pain, or if it has really eased."
Tang Yiling, who was in a dream, could not confirm the basic condition of her body at this time. Through the vague feelings of consciousness and body, Tang Yiling could only roughly confirm that he was still in the stage of serious injury.
But what's strange is that with his ordinary physical fitness, let alone three hours, the moment the blood in his body boils and evaporates, he should see the King of Hell.
"But let alone seeing the King of Hell now, I can even feel that... my body seems to have recovered a lot compared to before."
Tang Yiling, who was a little confused, leaned against the corner between the two walls, put the index and middle fingers of his left hand together, and tapped his temple lightly. "There are too many doubts and too few clues...but at least I can confirm that I survived."
Tang Yiling half-opened his mouth and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air. His whole body and spirit also relaxed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Looking up at the cemetery maze under the eternal night, he actually showed a relieved smile.
"Since you don't have to wait for death anymore, let's take advantage of this time to wander around this cemetery maze." After saying that, Tang Yiling walked out of the narrow corner of the wall and walked towards the wider and more chaotic depths of the maze ahead. go.
After an unknown amount of time, Tang Yiling stopped at another corner; he reached out and took out his old pocket watch, and while opening it, the mechanical clicking sound still did not stop.
However, it is worth noting that a layer of colored paint seems to be applied to the edge of the glass; as the pointer turns, the paint slowly decreases, revealing the paint covered by the next layer.
"Purple, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, red, and now orange is starting to show, indicating that the time in the real world has passed five o'clock."
After rubbing his sore legs, Tang Yiling raised his head again and looked at the starry sky that had never changed. "In my dream... I spent more than twenty hours."
After confirming that he was out of danger, all of Tang Yiling's memories that had been cut off by pain returned.
At the same time, knowing that he will not encounter danger in reality for the time being, Tang Yiling can finally let go of his hands and feet. With the 72 hours of [breath camouflage] obtained from the hound, Tang Yiling can finally navigate this dangerous maze without any hindrance.
Along the way, the smell of hounds emanating from the old pocket watch made Cursed Nightmares stay away from Tang Yiling.
For the first time in a long time, Tang Yiling was able to slow down and carefully observe this endless maze of tombstones stacked into hundreds of meters high walls.
Whenever Tang Yiling passed dozens of corners, he would see, or rather encounter, the wall with carved patterns.
Every time, he would stop for a long time, and only after confirming that he was not going in circles, would he continue walking "forward".
While stopping, Tang Yiling would also take advantage of this gap to close his eyes and take a nap.
Although the feeling of fatigue will be greatly reduced in dreams, no one can bear it... let's have nearly 80 hours of lucid dreaming in one night...
After walking through countless corners in the maze, Tang Yiling encountered new textures again.
This time, Tang Yiling did not immediately step forward to check the engravings. Instead, he took out the old pocket watch and saw that the last layer was exposed, coated with bright red paint lines.
"It seems that I don't have much time left to [visit the garden]." Looking at only one-third of the orange color left, Tang Yiling raised his head again and looked at the carvings on the high wall of the cemetery.
"There are still 200 minutes of disguise time left, which is three hours and twenty minutes; I don't know what new changes this [death] will bring to me."
Caressing the carvings on the high wall, Tang Yiling then turned around and leaned against the wall, squatting on the spot with his knees bent; he no longer continued to move deeper into the maze, and squatting on the spot, he had already entered a state of sleep.
The long time passed quickly like this, and the aura exuded by the old pocket watch on his chest was gradually diluted as time ran out.
The cursed nightmares, who had been suppressed by the hound's aura and did not dare to approach, now began to stir up again; with only thirty minutes left, the long-lost "Gaya Bubble Sound" could be heard in Tang Yiling's ears.
"Uh-huh..."
Countless pale arms crawled out of the wall, the same white dresses, and the long black hair that turned forward and covered the entire face also confirmed their identity, [Curse Nightmare]!
This is a group of countless resentment wandering souls. They have the appearance of Sadako and the voice of Kayako. They are undoubtedly the real "Grudge".
Not only the appearance and interior are unified, but also some of the abilities of Sadako and Kayako are merged and inherited.
The only thing that makes people feel reassured is that these curses... have nowhere to go but this cemetery, needless to say there are still hounds monitoring them.
"Huh, are you here?"
Tang Yiling opened his slightly sleepy eyes and looked at the group of cursed ghosts a hundred meters away that were gathering and slowly approaching him with a pair of dead fish eyes.
"The time hasn't come yet, and it's already starting to move."
He straightened up while holding on to the wall, and gently beat his numb legs with his clenched hands. He took out his old pocket watch and saw that there was not much orange left, while red had already taken up everything.
"Look at the time, I still have twenty minutes of free time at my disposal."
Putting away his pocket watch, Tang Yiling began to move his somewhat stiff limbs under the gaze of Curse; beads of sweat covered his forehead, and his rapidly beating heart was unknown whether it was due to exercise or the fear of Curse...
And with the further weakening of the hound's aura and coercion, the group of cursed ghosts also accelerated their gathering and advance.
"Ten minutes left." He muttered the time in his mouth while silently counting down in his heart.
At this moment, Tang Yiling stood supporting the wall; directly opposite him was an endless group of cursed ghosts.
"One more minute."
Feeling the fine concave and convex feeling coming from the palm of his hand, Tang Yiling's whole body was in a state of tension at this moment; with only ten meters away, Curse could reach out and touch the only living person in front of him.
"Thirty seconds...twenty seconds...ten seconds..."
While Tang Yiling was counting down, the curse at the front was less than two meters away from Tang Yiling; the camouflage of the hound's breath was like a candle in the wind, and a breeze could blow it out.
The pale arm stretched forward as much as possible. The palm was very close to Tang Yiling. As long as the owner of the hand waved his hand gently, the only living person in the maze would be captured by it and completely assimilated by it. .
But things are always so moody, and the same is true for Grudge, who is no longer a living creature.
