Nightmare Attack

Everyone knows what it means to lose contact during the mission.

"Go over and take a look." Jiang Cheng walked towards the direction Gao Yan was running.

The sand in the hourglass has leaked out, the mission on the third floor is over, and the threat of ghosts has disappeared.

On the way, the fat man suddenly caught a glimpse of Wang Qi looking at him from the corner of his eye. He was not peeking at him, but just looking straight at him without any shyness.

The fat man was so frightened that he walked quickly and approached the doctor.

But when the fat man wanted to talk to the doctor, he found that Wang Qi had already looked away, as if nothing was wrong.

After walking around in a circle until I reached the stairs leading to the fourth floor, I saw a figure walking out from behind a wall.

It's a tall statement.

Gao Yan stared at them. When he caught a glimpse of Shen Mengyun, his eyes paused and looked obviously unnatural.

For this guy who almost killed him, Shen Mengyun, no matter how good-tempered he was, did not give him a good look. He said in a bad tone: "Mr. Gao, you are fine."

"Miss Shen, I'm relieved to see you're fine." Gao Yan kept his smile, but his expression was somewhat stiff.

Jiang Cheng noticed that the old guy looked a little embarrassed, thinking that the ghost came to see him after he left just now.

After finishing speaking, Gao Yan's eyes seemed to be attracted by something. He looked at the fat man and his eyes became strange, "This is"

The fat man was carrying a big bag behind him. It looked quite heavy. It was the bag of flour that Jiang Cheng asked him to carry.

Gao Yan was not stupid. It only took him a few seconds to figure out the mystery. He nodded and said, "So that's it."

"Okay." Wang Qi slowly turned his head and said, "We are going to the fourth floor. Everyone, please be ready."

Next to the stairs leading to the fourth floor of the library, as usual, there was a worn-out wooden board with two lines of crooked words written on it.

"Everyone who passes here will get the third treasure just like the Lord." The fat man looked at the blackboard and read out word for word.

"What's been deprived this time is our sense of smell for ghosts." Huaiyi's voice revealed uneasiness, "In addition, the second and third layers of vision and hearing have been deprived, this time."

Although everyone had been aware of this before and was mentally prepared, the atmosphere was still frighteningly depressing as soon as they stepped onto the stairs leading to the fourth floor.

There was a door standing in front of the 4th floor stairs. It was different from the doors we encountered before. This door was obviously thicker and more worn.

This is an iron door with a layer of dark green old-fashioned anti-rust paint on it.

But as time goes by, the anti-rust paint peels off, and it is covered with rust. When you look at it from a distance, it looks mottled.

Like a dead face covered in sores.

Standing on the fourth floor of the library, Jiang Cheng's eyes slowly swept around. x ̸͍̘̳͂͊̂̊̀͊̕͘.̷̹̦̆̆c̶͙͈͚̽̄̈̎̒͜ó̶̧̧̝̳̠͇͕̺̲̹̔̈́ ́՝͝m̷̗͓̽̂̌̋̌̌

The dilapidation here is obvious. It is completely different from the floors below. There is a musty smell in the air. It seems that no one has been here for a long time.

There are many bookshelves on this floor, and they are all tall and long large bookshelves, made of black wood and look very strong.

The bookshelves are filled with books.

"Look here." Shen Mengyun suddenly spoke, pointing to a place.

About 5 or 6 meters away from them, next to a bookshelf, the white wall there turned gray-black, as if it had been burned by fire.

And on the floor of the burnt black wall, there was an hourglass.

For a moment, an illusion flashed through everyone's mind, as if this hourglass was waiting for them, staring at them.

"I" the fat man said, looking at everyone with little confidence, "I have an idea."

"explain."

"explain."

The first voice was from Jiang Cheng, and the second voice was from Wang Qi, who had a weird personality.

To Fatty's surprise, the two people who had the most say and were also the strongest in the team seemed to be very interested in this weakling's proposal.

Seeing this scene, Huaiyi became even more convinced that Fatty was the hidden boss.

The side he showed was just a disguise.

Brother Jiang and Brother Fugui, the two crimson men, one in the dark and one in the dark, work together flawlessly.

The fat man was a little flattered, "I guess we can't touch that hourglass first." He swallowed and continued, "We already know that the initiative for this mission is in our hands, as long as we don't touch it Hourglass, then the task will not start."

As if he was worried that everyone would misunderstand, Fatty explained: "I'm not trying to avoid the mission, it's just that we can use the time before the mission starts to get familiar with the surrounding environment."

"In this way, when the ghost comes out, we will be prepared and know where to hide, and the probability of survival will be higher."

"Absolutely not!" Before the fat man could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Gao Yan.

He looked at the hourglass from a distance, fear in his eyes, and his breathing became rapid, as if he recalled some horrific scene.

"Why?" the fat man asked.

"There's something wrong with these hourglasses, it's not as simple as you think." Gao Yan thought for a moment and then told everyone about his experience.

But he concealed it very well. If they hadn't heard about it from Shen Mengyun's perspective, it wouldn't have been easy for everyone to notice that Gao Yan deliberately concealed clues.

"So, these hourglasses are definitely not as simple as them not moving as long as we don't take the initiative to touch them." Gao Yan took a breath, "It is alive, no, they are all alive." !”

Jiang Cheng had already thought of Fatty's idea, but he didn't choose to test it or make it public.

First, because based on my understanding of nightmares, there would be no such obvious loopholes for me to exploit in the mission.

In his opinion, this is more likely to be a trap.

Second, the cost of trial and error is too high. No one has been killed by ghosts in the mission. The conditions for ghost killing are unclear. He cannot afford any inconspicuous mistakes.

And Wang Qi is not stupid. There is no reason why Wang Qi can't think of anything he can think of, but he didn't make any similar suggestions.

He must have the same concerns as himself.

"There are many hourglasses, and some are hidden. It is very difficult to completely avoid them during exploration." Wang Qi said in a playful tone, "And have you ever thought about what would happen if someone inadvertently activates the hourglass? ?”

After thinking about it for a moment, the fat man understood everything.

The idea proposed by Wang Qi is too scary. If someone inadvertently activates the hourglass, the ghost will be summoned immediately.

What's even worse is that at this time, no one knew that the ghost was coming.

Because by the fourth level, the ghost has turned into a transparent person who cannot see, hear, or smell.

They will be hunted down one by one without any reaction.

The hourglasses scattered in the library are actually alarms that have not yet been activated. Once awakened, the ghosts will immediately know their location and come to them silently.
