Chapter 1002 Close Viewing

The five-meter barrier is not an invisible wall as previously thought. On the contrary, it really exists.

When the ruler in his mind reached five meters vertically, Ji Li's hand moved forward and happened to hit a cold glass wall.

All the surrounding ghosts had been led to the rear, so a small vacuum area appeared here, enough for detection.

While Ji Li bumped his palms and toes up and down, he sketched the situation of the glass in his mind.

After a few seconds of testing, he discovered that it was a decorative wall.

Before this, he had only seen the overpass between the three buildings from the outside of the stairs. From the outside, it looked like a long glass plank road.

However, from now on, half a glass wall will appear every five meters, in order to stagger the direct flow direction of the channel.

It can be understood that this is a meaningless, completely decorative wall, built mainly for beauty and personality.

Of course, it is precisely because of the appearance of this wall that nearly a hundred ghosts are separated into four areas, avoiding the twenty-meter-long ghost channel.

The light of the flashlight lights up at the right time.

It is strange to say that the interior of this overpass is completely shrouded in darkness, but the entrance, exit, and three glass walls can light up.

This also confirms Ji Li's previous conjecture that "darkness" comes from the code. Since it is a code, one must act according to the rules.

If there is no chance to travel through, it will be equivalent to the code being invalid, and this place can be completely taken over by the ghost tide.

The flashlight turned on, and the ghost tide behind him showed signs of commotion again.

Song Yitong glanced at Ji Li beside him, grabbed the flashlight and threw it high.

The cold beam of light was as bright as a beam of light in the darkness, enough to illuminate the entire second five meters, and it continued to spin. She threw it with all her strength.

To everyone's expectation, the flashlight did not stop at the second five meters and flew forward without any hindrance.

The grotesque, ferocious faces below were illuminated one by one, and at the same time, the beam of light stretched farther and farther, and fell directly on the ground, but it did not go out.

It was like a lit torch, which after shaking a few times, stood exactly on the ground, casting a beam of light on the ceiling, providing a mark of the end point.

"The last fifteen meters, there is no glass wall!"

This is definitely a good thing, because it means that as long as Ji Li follows the same pattern, he can lure the ghosts behind him again and they can walk away calmly.

But for the first time, he was not distracted by the unexpected surprise. Instead, he kept constructing the specific location of each ghost in his mind.

Without the barrier of the glass wall, the remaining 80 or so ghosts must be remembered in advance. After the workload is doubled, the routes that need to be reasoned will become more complex and delicate.

Not to mention that Song Yitong gave up on such a level of mental calculation. Even Ji Li found it more and more confusing after the calculation.

Having no other choice, Song Yitong took out a second flashlight from his backpack and threw it out again as he did before.

Ji Li's eyes followed perfectly, and he looked in six directions. The position of each ghost under the beam was like a printer scanner, quickly locating and copying.

Then, things started to go wrong.

Ji Li and Song Yitong memorized the contents without blinking, but for some reason, the more they memorized, the more confused their minds became.

I just remembered the location of six meters, but the five meters just now were blurred, and the four meters were even forgotten.

This is something that should never happen. Ji Li has poor memory for people, and he knows this, but as long as he performs tasks, his brain can process information like a computer.

His intelligence should be similar to Fang Shenyan's, perhaps due to his recent decline in physical condition, but the gap won't be too big.

While Fang Shenyan could memorize hundreds of changes in the 54 exhibition halls of the World Heritage Museum, Ji Li didn't think he could even remember the exact locations of dozens of ghosts.

Song Yitong, who had the same doubts, also doubted herself. Her mind was naturally outstanding, even if it was not as good as Ji Li's, it was not far behind.

There was no way she could forget about dozens of ghosts so quickly.

When the second flashlight was about to land, the two looked at each other, both seeing the other's confusion.

And then, another strange thing happened.

There was a "bang" sound, and the second flashlight that was about to land but had not yet landed did not fall at the exit, but exploded in the air.

Broken glass hit the walls of the overpass, causing a commotion of ghosts in the distance.

In the ghost tide, a ghost wakes up...

The store clerks are becoming stupid...

Returning to the darkness, Ji Li's eyes were lowered, and his expression gradually became gloomy.

It's easy to say that the ghost has woken up, but he has to pay attention to the fact that he has "become stupid".

Under the current situation, there is a high probability that this darkness can not only affect the five senses of people and ghosts, but can even make them "slow".

For example, the ghost's previous dormant state, such as Ji Li's memory and brain power decline.

"I haven't become stupid, but I think it's more serious than mental decline, because I thought of a possibility..."

The tone of the third personality became "ambiguous" for some reason, and his words were evasive.

Ji Li didn't have time to talk nonsense with him and directly asked him to speak frankly.

"Oh, I suspect there are ghosts playing a game. We are all in this game, including those ghosts!"

Even if Ji Li really "becomes stupid", he is still much smarter than ordinary people. He immediately saw the key point and said:

"You mean, the darkness is not a code, but a barrier created by a certain ghost?"

"Exactly that!"

The third personality began to analyze the overpass and subsequent experiences from the beginning, and explained:

“When you first arrive outside the overpass, the first thing you see is a patch of moonlight, which shows that the overpass was not shrouded in ‘darkness’ at that time.

But when you stopped in front of the overpass and put on a posture to get through it, darkness fell.

This is number one.

The first five meters were calm, and you used a gamble to easily control the ghost tide.

We originally thought that there would be two other glass walls fifteen meters back to separate the ghost tide, but they didn't. This is too illogical.

This is second.

You became stupid under the erosion of darkness. The first flashlight you threw was normal and pointed out the way forward for you, but the second flashlight was blown to pieces by the ghost.

None of you can remember the exact location of the ghost.

In such a situation, if I didn't exist, what would you choose? "

The third personality talks a lot, and his words are very orderly, and you can understand them as soon as you hear them.

Ji Li narrowed his eyes, indicating that he had begun to speculate on this, and couldn't help but say:

"All roads are blocked, so I can only lure the ghosts away in the same way as I did five meters ago..."

“That’s the third anomaly.

To sum up, this is a dead end that develops inertly. The ghost who can create this kind of situation has clearly exposed its purpose:

Kill you, kill you all!

I'm sure that once you do this, the entire darkness will be revealed in an instant, and you will die on the spot after the ghost tide regains its five senses. "

The third personality was frightened for a while. If he hadn't been sober and rational, he wouldn't have been able to tell that the "darkness" actually contained the will to actively kill people.

On this overpass, among the nearly a hundred ghosts, there must be an extremely terrifying ghost hidden, probably no less than the owner of the porcelain doll.

It does not kill people according to common sense, but disguises itself as one of the codes, hides among ordinary ghosts, and pulls living people into the abyss step by step, watching them die in front of them at close range!
