3447 It’s Better to Keep Holding Hands

Xie Jiling and Han Zhuofeng didn't care about anything else for the time being and just avoided the staff and the two masters.

Since he didn't know the details, Xie Jiling thought it would be better to call them masters for now.

Because the ghost town was big enough, Xie Jiling and Han Zhuofeng went deeper.

Plus, they were hiding on purpose.

The strange rocks in the ghost town are their best cover.

So, the staff searched around but couldn't find them.

Han Zhuofeng sighed and said: "So, if you really want to hide, it will be difficult to find the staff here. Checking like this every day can't be said to be useless at all, but it is true that you can't find those who really want to stay." people."

Xie Jiling nodded: "Let's go, let's take a look around. Maybe someone else will stay."

Han Zhuofeng looked at his watch. At this time, the hands had turned from five o'clock.

It's 5:03.

It sounds really magical.

At 5 o'clock, it's evening.

But even though the sun was setting slightly in the west, the visible line of sight was still clean and there was no fog.

But as soon as five o'clock arrived, a faint mist rose in the air.

But at this time, the fog was still very light, even lighter than when they first came in in the morning.

A thin layer, like a veil covering the eyes.

Xie Jiling took out a red rope from her bag.

Then he pulled out two small bells.

She tied one end of the red rope with a bell on Han Zhuofeng's wrist.

Handing the other end to Han Zhuofeng: "Tie the bell and the red rope around my wrist."

Han Zhuofeng tied it for her as instructed.

After tying it up, I admired it for a while.

The red rope on Xie Jiling's wrist made her skin color paler.

Xie Jiling moved his wrist, and the bell on the rope also made a crisp sound.

Han Zhuofeng joked: "Does ours look like Yue Lao's red thread?"

Xie Jiling looked at him like a fool and explained: "This is to prevent us from getting separated when it gets dark and foggy."

"I know." Han Zhuofeng said dryly.

I feel a little embarrassed. When I said the red line just now, I was a little bit looking forward to it.

Who knew that Xie Jiling would react like this.

Han Zhuofeng raised his hand and shook it awkwardly, and the bell on his wrist jingled in response to his movements.

However, Han Zhuofeng discovered something different.

"Walk your wrist again." Han Zhuofeng said to Xie Jiling.

Xie Jiling shook it a few more times.

Han Zhuofeng shook his wrist again and discovered, "Hey, our bells have different sounds."

"Yes." Xie Jiling nodded, "It's easier to distinguish them this way."

"If the fog is so thick at night that we can't see anything, we will probably have to confirm each other's presence through the bells. If the bells have the same sound, it will be easy to get confused and not be able to tell who belongs to them. Just in case we We got separated, but the bell on my hand is still ringing, what should I do if I mistakenly think you are still there?"

"So, two bells with different sounds can still be distinguished when they are together." Xie Jiling said.

As he spoke, the fog had become thicker.

Han Zhuofeng couldn't help but become nervous.

"There's no need to go to such trouble." Han Zhuofeng said, directly holding Xie Jiling's hand, "That's fine."

"The red rope is a bit long. What if something takes me away silently without you noticing? It's better to keep holding my hand." Han Zhuofeng said, and held Xie Jiling's hand tightly.

Somehow, Xie Jiling felt as if there was an electric current in his palm.

Xie Jiling's hand retracted involuntarily.

However, Han Zhuofeng's grip was tight and Xie Jiling could not take it back.

Han Zhuofeng turned to her and said, "Don't hide, I'm scared!"

Xie Jiling: "..."

Although my hand was held by him, I felt particularly uncomfortable.

But because of Han Zhuofeng's words, she couldn't take her hand back.

I can only let him hold it.

Unexpectedly, Han Zhuofeng also said: "Don't worry, if you encounter a resentful spirit soon, I will let go so that you can deal with it with both hands."

Xie Jiling: "..."

You are so considerate.

Han Zhuofeng happily held Xie Jiling's hand: "I feel safe this way, and I won't be afraid of being captured by a resentful spirit."

As the two walked, the fog gradually became thicker, reaching the density of the fog when they came in in the morning.

Moreover, it is getting thicker and thicker.

As it gets closer to dark, it seems to be getting dark faster.

Soon, Han Zhuofeng could no longer see anything from a distance of one meter away.

Fortunately, I can still see my hands behind me.

Turning his head, he could still see a bit of Xie Jiling's profile.

Han Zhuofeng's nervous heart was pounding, beating very fast.

Not only did he hold Xie Jiling's hand tightly, he also punched Xie Jiling hard on the shoulder.

We were really shoulder to shoulder with her.

"Where are we going now?" Han Zhuofeng asked, "We really can't see anything now."

They could vaguely see the strange rocks closest to them, turning into gray shadows in the mist.

Because of the strange shape of the stone, the way it looms in the thick fog is really scary and frightening.

Han Zhuofeng couldn't help but say: "It's like this at night, why would anyone choose to stay in the first place? Even if they stayed, they wouldn't be able to see anything."

"I've asked about it." Xie Jiling said, "The fog here wasn't so thick at first. After the first disappearance, the fog here started to get thicker, but it's not like it is now. At most, it's like the seaside and mountains. Even if it gets foggy, it won’t affect your vision very much.”

"Especially before dark, although the fog is there, it does not affect sight and movement. Therefore, there are still some people who stay until dark before leaving."

"But after the second disappearance, the fog here became thicker again. It was slightly lighter than now." Xie Jiling analyzed.

"So I think the fog here has actually been growing from before to now. It's just growing slowly. If there were no missing incidents, it would take a long time for the fog to increase in concentration on its own, and it would take a long time to reach the level it is now."

"So, it was the disappearances, or in other words, human lives, that accelerated the concentration of the fog." Xie Jiling said.

Xie Jiling wanted to take something from the bag, but her hand was still held by Han Zhuofeng.

In this situation, it is really not convenient to let go.

Xie Jiling was also worried that when she lowered her head and raised her head, Han Zhuofeng would disappear.

So, she said to Han Zhuofeng: "Help me unzip the bag."

As he spoke, Xie Jiling pinched one end of the bag and helped Han Zhuofeng hold it up.

Han Zhuofeng's free left hand unzipped her bag.

Xie Jiling fished out something from inside and handed it to Han Zhuofeng: "Hold it for me first."

Han Zhuofeng took it and held it in his hand, and found that it was something like a small stick.
