Chapter 749: Third Floor

Continue thinking along this line, when they reach the third floor of the library, they will "lose" their ears and will not be able to hear the voices of ghosts. Reading

As for the fourth floor, they will "lose" their noses and will not be able to smell the burnt smell of ghosts.

And the most terrifying thing is that these restrictions can be superimposed.

In other words, when they reach the fourth floor, they will lose their vision, hearing and smell at the same time.

They can't see, hear or smell.

Then how can they avoid being chased by ghosts?

Isn't it a dead end?

But soon, Jiang Cheng calmed down. There will be no dead end in the mission. It seems to be a dead end, but there must be a way out hidden in it.

Jiang Cheng first thought of whether the way out in the mission is to end the mission before going up to the fourth floor, so that the ghost will at least leave a flaw.

But soon, Jiang Cheng rejected this guess in his heart, for the same reason as when he rejected Gao Yan.

If you can't reach the fourth floor of the library, then you can't find the borrowing office that was burned down, and you can't even think about finding Xiaohui hiding in it, and the book.

Then their coming to the library would be meaningless.

After two contacts, Jiang Cheng also realized that excluding the restrictions imposed on them, this burnt ghost itself was nothing special.

Rather than being a ghost, it was better to say that it was a person with slow movements.

But Jiang Cheng also knew that this slowness was only manifested in the process of finding someone. As for when the person was really found, the ghost would probably show its terrifying side.

In Yuan Xiaoyi's memory, there was a girl who had encountered a ghost on the 4th floor of the library. She had witnessed the ghost burning more than a dozen people to death.

If it weren't for one of the night watchmen who risked his life to save her, I'm afraid her fate would be the same.

So the 4th floor of the library is the highlight, and it is also the place they must go on this trip, and they can't avoid it.

And they are bound to face the pursuit of this almost unsolvable ghost on the 4th floor.

Where is the way out?

Just as Jiang Cheng was thinking, a message appeared on the screen of his mobile phone. It was sent by Huai Yi, and the content was also very simple.

Inform him that the ghost has left and ask him to join everyone.

Jiang Cheng hesitated for a moment after looking at the message. After a few seconds, he sent a message to Fatty. After receiving the same reply, Jiang Cheng gently stood up and left from behind the bookshelf.

After turning several corners, he saw Fatty and his friends in a relatively open area. They gathered together and seemed to be discussing something.

"Brother Jiang." Gao Yan saw Jiang Cheng, walked up quickly, greeted him and said, "Thanks to your reminder, we are fine now."

"You are too polite." Jiang Cheng replied.

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang." Shen Mengyun also came over and thanked Jiang Cheng. Then, as if recalling a scene not long ago, his face showed fear, "Who would have thought that this ghost was invisible? No, it should be that we can't see it."

Then, Gao Yan glanced at Wang Qi again and found that the other party had no intention of objecting, so he told Jiang Cheng the result of their discussion just now.

It was a guess about the fable.

What Jiang Cheng thought of, they also thought of.

Each level up will deprive them of a sense. When they reach the 4th level, the ghost is the most terrifying.

It is also the most dangerous moment in this mission.

"Brother Jiang." Gao Yan showed a very sincere face, looked at Jiang Cheng and asked politely: "Do you have any ideas about the way out of this mission?"

"Not at the moment." Jiang Cheng said, "But there will be no missions that will definitely kill you, so I think next, as long as we pay more attention, we can find clues."

Gao Yan echoed: "Brother Jiang, what you said makes sense."

Fatty and Huai Yi had already disliked this old guy, and he didn't have this attitude before.

Wang Qi moved his eyes back from a distance and said slowly: "There will be no results if we continue to talk, hurry up and go up."

The group found the stairs leading to the 3rd floor. There was a door on the stairs, which was now open. Shen Mengyun explained: "This door was closed just now. I heard the ghost's footsteps, and finally disappeared near here."

Obviously, just like before, the ghost searched around and didn't find anyone, so because of the time limit of the hourglass, he had to go to the 3rd floor.

Go up this staircase.

Go up the stairs, and after a few steps, you will see another wooden board at the corner. The board is split in the middle and hung on the wall casually.

"Everyone who passes through here will get the second treasure like the lord." The fat man looked at the blackboard and read it out word by word.

The crooked fonts are like worms wriggling, and just looking at them makes people feel uncomfortable.

Shen Mengyun nodded as if to confirm, and whispered: "It seems that our guess is correct. This time, it is our hearing that will be deprived."

Unexpectedly, Wang Qi spoke with a slightly hoarse voice, "What you said is not accurate. It is not all hearing, but our hearing when facing ghosts."

After noticing that the fat man frowned, the usually taciturn Wang Qi paused and explained in a rare way: "To put it simply, we can still hear any other sounds except those related to ghosts."

The fat man's frowned brows slowly relaxed again, and it seemed that he understood.

"It's just the ghost's footsteps and the sounds made by the ghost. We can't hear them. Everything else is normal, right?" Huai Yi looked at Wang Qi.

Wang Qi turned his head away and ignored him.

After arriving on the third floor, Jiang Cheng simply looked around. The layout on this floor was very different from that downstairs. They were all long tables with many chairs placed next to the tables.

Usually there should be many students coming here to study.

There are several large wooden screens standing in a remote location with famous sayings and aphorisms written on them.

There were few places to hide around.

Because his hearing was also deprived this time, even Jiang Cheng did not dare to ambush here rashly. He planned to go to the depths of the library to find a hiding place with others.

Just to their left, there was a very conspicuous table, white, with a few magazines and a pink water glass on it.

It doesn't look like a student's seat, it should be a teacher's seat in the library.

And just on this table, there is a black hourglass standing.

Shen Mengyun stared at the hourglass, his lips moved, as if hesitating, and finally said: "This time we can only rely on smell to identify the location of the ghost. Everyone, please be careful."

Jiang Cheng stepped forward, looked at his phone first, then turned to look at everyone, "Are you ready?"

After getting a positive answer, he turned the hourglass upside down and placed it firmly on the table.

The group of people ran towards the depths of the library.
