Chapter 754 Arrival

Everyone knew what it meant to lose contact during the mission.

"Go and have a look." Jiang Cheng walked towards the direction where Gao Yan ran.

The sand in the hourglass had run out, the mission on the third floor was over, and the threat of the ghost had disappeared.

On the way, the fat man suddenly saw Wang Qi looking at him from the corner of his eye. He was not peeking, but just staring at him, not shy at all.

The fat man was so scared that he took a few steps faster and moved closer to the doctor.

But when the fat man wanted to talk to the doctor, he found that Wang Qi had already retracted his gaze, as if nothing had happened.

After making a circle and walking straight to the stairs leading to the 4th floor, a figure walked out from behind a wall.

It was Gao Yan.

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

Shen Mengyun, no matter how good-tempered she was, didn't treat the guy who almost killed her with a good face. She said in a bad tone: "Mr. Gao, how are you?"

"Miss Shen, I'm relieved to see that you're okay." Gao Yan smiled, but his expression was somewhat stiff.

Jiang Cheng noticed that the old guy looked a little embarrassed. He thought that the ghost had left just now and came to find him.

After saying that, Gao Yan's sight seemed to be attracted by something. He looked at the fat man with a strange look, "This is..."

The fat man was carrying a big bag behind him, which 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're going to the fourth floor. Everyone, get ready."

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

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

"This time, our sense of smell for ghosts is taken away." Huai Yi's voice revealed uneasiness, "In addition to the vision and hearing that were taken away on the 2nd and 3rd floors, this time..."

Although everyone had realized this before and was mentally prepared, the atmosphere was still oppressive and scary after stepping onto the stairs leading to the 4th floor.

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

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

But as time passed, the anti-rust paint fell off, and it was covered with rust. Looking from a distance, it was mottled.

Like a dead face full of ulcers.

Standing on the fourth floor of the library, Jiang Cheng's eyes slowly swept around. ̢̜̳̱͈̹͓͛͜ḩ̷̻̩͍̱̗͔̺̏̓͊̀͂̀ͅṵ̵̙̻͉̦͙̗̥̉̓̓͊̑̂̑x̸͍̘̳͂͊̂̊̀͊̕͘.̷̹̦̆̆̆c ̶͙͈͚̽̄̈̎̒͜ó̶̧̧̝̳̠͇͕̺̲̹̔̈́ ̷̗͓̽̂̌̋̋̌

The dilapidated state of this place is obvious, 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 very tall and long large bookshelves, made of black wood, and look very solid.

The bookshelves are full of 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 and black, as if it had been burned by fire.

And on the ground with the blackened wall, there was an hourglass.

For a moment, everyone had an illusion in their hearts, as if this hourglass was waiting for them there, staring at them.

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

"Say it."

"Say it. "

The first voice was from Jiang Cheng, and the second voice was from the weird Wang Qi.

What surprised the fat man was that the two people who had the most say in the team and were also the strongest seemed to be very interested in his weakling's proposal.

Seeing this scene, Huai Yi was more convinced that the fat man was a hidden boss.

The side he showed was just a disguise.

Brother Jiang and Brother Fugui, two Crimson bosses, one bright and one dark, cooperated perfectly.

The fat man was a little flattered, "I think I wonder if we can not touch the hourglass first." He swallowed and continued, "We already know that the initiative of this mission is in our hands. As long as we don't touch the hourglass, the mission will not start."

Seemingly worried that everyone would misunderstand, the fat man explained: "I'm not trying to escape the mission, but 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 possibility of survival will be higher"

"Absolutely not! "Before the fat man finished 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 horrible scene.

"Why?" the fat man asked.

"These hourglasses are not right, not as simple as you think." Gao Yan thought for a moment and told everyone about his experience.

But he concealed it very well. If it weren't for Shen Mengyun's perspective, it would not be easy for everyone to notice that Gao Yan deliberately concealed the clues.

"So, these hourglasses are definitely not as simple as if we don't touch them, and they won't move." Gao Yan took a deep breath, "It's alive, no, they are all alive!"

Jiang Cheng had thought of the fat man's idea a long time ago, but he didn't choose to test it, nor did he make it public.

First, according to his understanding of nightmares, there would not be such an obvious loophole in the mission for him to exploit.

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 the ghosts in the mission. The conditions for the ghosts to kill people are unclear. He can't afford any insignificant mistakes.

And Wang Qi is not stupid. What he can think of, there is no reason why Wang Qi can't think of it, but he didn't make similar suggestions.

Presumably, he has the same concerns as himself.

"There are a lot of hourglasses, and some are hidden. It is very difficult to avoid them completely during the exploration process." Wang Qi said playfully, "And have you ever thought about what will happen if someone accidentally activates the hourglass?"

After a little thought, the fat man understood everything.

The idea proposed by Wang Qi was too scary. If someone accidentally activated the hourglass, the ghost would be summoned immediately.

What's more terrible is that at this time, no one knew that the ghost had come.

Because at the fourth floor, the ghost had become a transparent person who could not see, hear, or smell.

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

The hourglasses distributed in the library were actually unactivated alarms. Once awakened, the ghosts would immediately get their location and quietly come to them.
