41. Time
At night.
A resident’s home in a community in Mingzhou City.
The sound of spatulas being flipped in the kitchen was heard in the living room. The TV in the living room was turned on, and a variety show was playing inside.
The girl with beautiful eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes was wearing a thick pink home clothes. She was half-lying on the sofa without any image, watching the short videos on her mobile phone and laughing from time to time.
Next to her head, a big rooster with brightly colored feathers lowered its head and pecked the nuts on the plate in front of her, eating them happily.
A middle-aged woman who looked almost like the girl brought out a plate of washed fruits from the kitchen and placed it on the coffee table in front of the girl.
She patted the big rooster on the back, and the rooster jumped off the sofa, walked a few steps, and then jumped under the sofa into the girl's arms. The girl hugged it and moved its feathers hard. .
"What are you looking at? Are you smiling so happily?"
The middle-aged woman turned her head to look at the girl's mobile phone, watched the short video played on the mobile phone for a while, and laughed together with the girl, laughing so hard: "Hey, this is that one, the Internet celebrity who is very popular recently, right?
Why is he so funny?
Hahaha……"
“Yes, yes, that’s him.
This person specializes in making these funny short videos, and now he has more than one million fans! "The girl nodded repeatedly and reached for the fruit on the coffee table.
But the middle-aged woman patted the back of her hand gently: "There are bacteria on your hands. Go wash them and come back to eat."
“I just touched the emergency can.
It's not dirty, I take a shower every day! "The girl pouted, but climbed up from the sofa, took off her shoes and prepared to wash her hands.
She accidentally turned her head and looked out the window——
In the night sky, which has always been lonely and deep, now there are red lanterns rising.
Those red lanterns dyed the sky crimson, reflecting the vast buildings and thousands of neon lights below, which looked particularly beautiful and made people feel like they were falling into a dream.
"Mom, look out the window!"
The girl patted her mother on the sofa on the shoulder: "There are so many red lanterns rising outside the window, so beautiful!"
"Red Lantern?"
"Set up the sky lanterns?"
The middle-aged woman was talking and was about to get up and check with the girl when the sound of cooking in the kitchen suddenly stopped.
A dark object floated out of the kitchen,
‘It’ froze in front of the middle-aged woman and girl.
Thumping thumping——
The big rooster 'Emergency Can' sitting on the sofa suddenly flapped its wings and flew onto the girl's shoulders.
The mother and daughter stared blankly at the 'thing' hovering in front of them.
It was the head of the girl's father, the woman's husband.
'He' still had beads of sweat on his face, and the glasses on his nose looked foggy. He said to the woman sitting on the sofa: "Honey, go downstairs and buy a bottle of soy sauce."
A head talks to itself.
The woman's shoulders were shaking violently, and she stood up suddenly, reaching out to hold the man's head.
The man's head suddenly floated high and far away.
The mother chased after him.
The distance between her and the girl went from only two or three steps to ten steps away.
Subsequently,
Her head also flew up.
"dad!"
"mom!"
There were shrill shouts from the residents.
…
The night is getting darker.
Peace Garden.
In the dark room, Su Wu put away the knitting needles, a sleeve and a ball of wool that had been knitted.
He once again checked his compatibility with the corpse ghost.
Compatibility with Corpse Ghost: 9%.
From day to night, except for eating and going to the bathroom, Su Wu was knitting sweaters all the time.
Hard work pays off.
With him concentrating so much on training, the fit between the ghost hand and himself also skyrocketed by 1%.
Even though the compatibility is nearly 40%, there is still no guarantee that he can successfully use the "Ghost Hand Enlargement" move to penetrate the shrouded area of the corpse.
But at least let him see the glimmer of hope.
Before the compatibility is fully improved, he can still stay in the small temple and complete various exercises to maximize the compatibility!
However, it is not easy to continue knitting sweaters now.
Su Wu's intuition reminded him that something strange was about to happen.
It's time to prepare for your escape.
He packed up everything on the desk, put on a backpack containing various emergency supplies, hung the imperial clock around his neck, and put a strong flashlight in his pocket.
Then he walked out of the room and sat down on the sofa in the living room.
The second hand of the clock hanging on the wall was ticking, ticking, showing the current time - 20:57.
The countless previous simulations made him firmly remember a key point in time.
21:37.
The young couple upstairs were killed by Yinggui.
The death of the two of them indicates that the shadow has truly eroded the current building.
The current time has not yet arrived, and although the shadow has affected the current building, there is a high probability that walking in it will be the same as before and there will be no danger.
However, there is no guarantee that accidents will not happen.
And even if it is relatively safe to walk out of this building and even the entire community, the eyes have been revived outside the community.
——The eye trick appeared earlier than the shadow trick.
Under the red lantern, anyone will be killed randomly.
If you want to avoid being decapitated by the eyes, you must hide in the small temple as soon as possible and continue the fire burning in it, so that Su Wu's subsequent plans can be carried out smoothly.
The time when the small temple appeared cannot be determined.
It may already exist on the commercial street outside the community, or it may not have appeared yet.
When Su Wu left the community and walked into the range of the eye ghost, he had to gamble on the probability that the small temple had already appeared on the commercial street.
But he had a safer choice.
But he didn't have to gamble his life for it.
In every previous simulation, he set out at around 9:50 in the evening, and he could see the small temple on the commercial street and enter it smoothly.
Therefore, this time in reality, Su Wu would also choose to set out at this time.
Darkness enveloped the living room at the moment.
His vision was only slightly affected in the darkness, so he could still see the clock hand on the wall turning.
Finally pointed to nine o'clock.
"At nine o'clock, the timed message I set should have been sent to the tenant group, right?"
"I hope it will be of some use."
Several thoughts flashed through Su Wu's mind.
They were extinguished by himself.
Now is not the time to think about external things.
...
Nine o'clock.
In the large group of tenants of Ping'an Garden, a message was sent to it, breaking the silence of the group for nearly two hours.
Gongzi Chibing: "Attention: In the next few days, please be sure to close the doors and windows, cover all light sources in the room, and turn off electronic devices!
Hidden quietly at home, I searched some literature and found that an unknown substance that is transmitted by light has spread in Ping'an Garden.
If you rashly open the window to get light and use various light sources at this time, you will definitely be killed directly by the unknown substance!
Please be sure to cut off any light source, life is priceless!"
Su Wu sent this scheduled message to the tenant group as scheduled.
He simply modified the official message he saw in the simulator before and sent it directly.
