Chapter 753 Taboo

"Did you see Gao Yan move the hourglass?" Jiang Cheng confirmed for the second time. Read М

Shen Mengyun nodded and said with certainty: "It was him who moved it. I saw it clearly. The hourglass was located at a high position, and it was very difficult for him to reach out and grab it."

"Then after moving the hourglass, the ghost appeared." Jiang Cheng said: "Suddenly."

"Yes." As if afraid that Jiang Cheng would not believe her, Shen Mengyun's tone was a little excited, "Mr. Jiang, I won't lie to you, that ghost, that ghost really appeared suddenly."

While gesturing with her hands, she explained: "Because the ghost has that smell, if it comes from a long distance, the smell should be transmitted little by little, but this time it is not, it is suddenly very strong, the kind that hits you in the face."

Recalling Shen Mengyun's words, Jiang Cheng restored the picture in his mind.

Gao Yan is a cautious person, and even cherishes his life to a certain extent.

He will not touch the hourglass for no reason.

Unless he discovers something.

Another point, according to Shen Mengyun's description, the moment Gao Yan reached out to take the hourglass, the ghost immediately appeared nearby.

This shows that there is some unknown connection between the ghost and the hourglass. If you move the hourglass rashly, the ghost will be summoned immediately.

Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng raised his head and began to carefully observe the hourglass on the bookshelf.

Although the hourglasses here are different in details, they should all come from the same place in terms of style.

The one in front of him is very delicately made, with some subtle protrusions around it, like small thorns, and

Jiang Cheng frowned.

What is this?

Through the transparent container inside the hourglass, you can see that only a small part of the fine hourglass inside is left, but Jiang Cheng vaguely sees something.

In the innermost part of the hourglass, more than half of it was buried by the leaked sand.

It is red.

There is also a little black.

In order to see more clearly, Jiang Cheng tiptoed and put his face close to it, getting closer and closer until the thing suddenly turned.

Jiang Cheng was unprepared for this sudden change, but the next second, he finally saw the true face of that thing.

It was an eyeball.

It was the kind that had been burned by fire, and it was a little shriveled, with ugly black wrinkles on the surface. What made Jiang Cheng even more suffocated was that the eyeball was staring at him, and the pupil shrank into a slit.

There was a lot of resentment in his eyes.

This eyeball is alive!

Jiang Cheng figured it out immediately, this eyeball is from the burnt ghost!

But before he could react, he suddenly felt a sharp pain from his arm, and the next second, a crack appeared in the scene in front of him.

Later, it was like a mirror, shattered.

Jiang Cheng blinked uncontrollably, looked down at the position of his right hand, and there was a round human head at the position where the sharp pain came from.

The head was biting him.

It was Shen Mengyun.

As if he had noticed the change in Jiang Cheng, Shen Mengyun slowly raised his head, but still maintained a posture that he could bite at any time.

As she met Jiang Cheng's gaze, Shen Mengyun's face showed a hint of surprise, "Mr. Jiang, you finally reacted!"

"What are you doing..." Jiang Cheng looked at his right hand, which had neat teeth marks on it. It was conceivable how much effort Shen Mengyun had put in.

Shen Mengyun glanced at the hourglass, a hint of fear flashed in her eyes, turned her head, and quickly told Jiang Cheng what she had just seen: "Mr. Jiang, just now you stretched out your hand to grab the hourglass, no matter how I called you, you didn't react."

"I tried to pry your hand open, but it didn't move at all. You were like a demon. I had no choice but to..." She glanced at Jiang Cheng's right hand, the meaning was self-evident.

"By the way." Shen Mengyun seemed to recall something, and changed the subject and said: "The way you grabbed the hourglass just now was a bit like Gao Yan."

Jiang Cheng looked at the ordinary, normal hourglass.

It just lay there, motionless, the sand inside gradually slipped away, only a little bit was left, and there was no eyeball inside.

Everything just now seemed like an illusion.

But Jiang Cheng knew that it was definitely not the case. He did see a shrunken eyeball hidden in the hourglass.

If Shen Mengyun hadn't been there and interrupted him in time, the scene that happened to Gao Yan would probably happen to him again.

"I know why Gao Yan moved the hourglass." Jiang Cheng looked at Shen Mengyun, his eyes showing some thoughtfulness, "He was confused by the eyeball inside and touched the hourglass uncontrollably."

Then, he briefly told Shen Mengyun about his experience.

"So that's how it is." With Jiang Cheng's previous experience, Shen Mengyun became more and more taboo about the hourglass, and even dared not look at it carefully.

"If that's the case, aren't the hourglasses distributed in the library the eyes of the burnt ghost?" Shen Mengyun asked, "Then what difference does it make where we hide? The burnt ghost will see it anyway."

From her voice, it can be heard that she was very resistant to this result, so her tone was also a bit of a broken pot.

Jiang Cheng pondered for a moment and said comfortingly: "It shouldn't be that bad. From what we saw just now, the eyeballs in each hourglass are in a dormant state."

"As long as we keep a distance from the hourglass and don't wake it up, it should be fine." Jiang Cheng looked at Shen Mengyun and said.

As they were talking, the last bit of sand in the hourglass finally leaked out.

This also means that the mission on the third floor of the library is over.

Jiang Cheng sent a message to Fatty Huai Yi, and then, the originally quiet environment began to become lively. Fatty and Huai Yi walked out one after the other.

After seeing Jiang Cheng supporting Shen Mengyun and coming out from behind the bookshelf, Fatty's originally cautious eyes turned playful.

Without waiting for Fatty to talk nonsense, Jiang Cheng told them what he had encountered and some analysis.

When they heard that there were burnt ghost eyes in the hourglass and that ghosts could be summoned, Fatty and Huai Yi searched around very carefully and avoided all the hourglasses they could find.

"Damn." Fatty muttered in a low voice: "I was wondering why they were so kind in this mission and gave us so many timers. It turned out that they were all time bombs."

Huai Yi thought a little more, looked around, and whispered: "There are a lot of hourglasses, and some locations are relatively hidden. It's difficult to avoid them all."

"Click."

"Click."

There were footsteps behind them, and everyone turned around. It was Wang Qi who came over alone. "It's great to see you." Wang Qi grinned and said.

Wang Qi came out from the place where Shen Mengyun ran to before. It seems that he hid well and no one found him.

Of course, this is probably due to Gao Yan's blessing.

"By the way." Wang Qi took out his mobile phone, shook it and said: "I sent a message to Gao Yan, but he didn't reply."
