Chapter 993: Around midnight, the bell rang!
"What the hell!"
Du Wei took the gun with an angry look on his face.
However, his brows knitted tightly together in an instant, and he immediately started to curse.
"You actually unloaded the magazine!"
This roar exploded in the room like thunder.
At this moment, everyone suddenly realized that this was the reason why Jiang Mingyan so decisively threw the gun back to Du Wei.
"Don't be impulsive. Our main task now is to find the self-defense talisman in the Seventh House, not to fight among ourselves here." Jiang Mingyan said calmly.
"Even if there really is a traitor, we don't have to panic. As long as we find the talisman before him, we can escape danger. Once midnight passes, we will immediately go look for the talisman."
"Once the midnight hour comes, we should stay indoors and not act rashly."
Jiang Mingyan obviously didn't want to waste any more time talking to Du Wei.
He turned to face everyone and solemnly reminded them, "Remember, everyone must remain calm and not panic."
Yang Biao also echoed, "That's right, Du Wei, calm down! Since you are a soldier, you should know how to be kind to others and stop being so aggressive all the time!"
Although Du Wei was still somewhat indignant,
But under the gaze of everyone, he finally swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue, just snorted fiercely, and then stuffed the gun without a magazine into his waist.
After a brief conversation, the room fell into silence.
Everyone looked at each other, no one spoke, only the heavy breathing of each other echoed in the air.
Time passed by minute by minute,
at last,
The clock strikes 1: midnight.
The blood mist at midnight slowly dissipated like the receding tide.
The old house that was originally shrouded in blood mist is now gradually revealing its original appearance.
In the reflection of the morning light, the wooden beam seemed to have seeped out strands of black water stains, as if it had been corroded by the blood mist, looking somewhat eerie and terrifying.
Yang Biao raised his hand to look at his watch, and his heart sank suddenly.
It should have been 1 o'clock in the middle of the night, but now the hands on the dial clearly pointed to 9 o'clock in the evening!
"Oh my god! What's going on at this time?" Yang Biao couldn't help but say, frowning.
Shen Meihua, who was standing by, was also a little nervous. She looked at her watch suspiciously and muttered to herself, "The time has returned to 9 o'clock in the evening... What is going on?"
Jiang Mingyan's eyes were always on the black water stains on the wooden beam. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "It's not a return, but a new day."
His voice was calm and low.
"What do you mean?" Yang Biao asked.
Jiang Mingyan narrowed his eyes, as if he was thinking about something, then he suddenly stood up, pushed open the door, and strode out.
Yang Biao and Shen Meihua looked at each other and hurriedly followed.
"If I'm not mistaken, every day after that will be like this. 2 hours before midnight, 2 hours after midnight, one side is our time, the other side is that evil time." Jiang Mingyan stood in the yard, looking at the gradually dissipating blood mist, and said slowly.
“Perhaps if we can just hold on for these seven days, we can leave here and take all the amulets in the mansion.” His voice echoed in the silent courtyard with a hint of determination.
Although Su Yi didn't have a watch, he had a reminder of the hunting time, so he could accurately know the arrival of midnight.
Now seeing the time on Yang Biao's watch, he has a general understanding of the game.
A day here is not 24 hours in the conventional sense, but only 4 hours.
Among them, 21 p.m. to 23 p.m. is the safe time for the good guys. During this time, they can act relatively safely.
However, from 23pm to 1am, which is the hour of midnight, is his hunting time.
"Are we safe now?" Du Wei asked.
Jiang Mingyan stared at the gradually dissipating blood mist, his eyes under the deerstalker hat revealed deep thought.
“Safety is only relative.”
When everyone heard this, their hearts tightened.
Indeed, the receding of the blood mist does not mean that the danger has completely disappeared.
After all, the mysterious guy outside the house just now still made everyone feel scared.
“Since there are clues in Tianshu Mansion, the houses in other star positions may hide the remaining talismans.”
"Master Zhou, I'm in trouble."
Zhou Qizheng nodded slightly.
"The body of the Big Dipper, the Tianshu, the Tianxuan, the Tianji, and the Tianquan."
"The handle of the Big Dipper, Yuheng, Kaiyang, Yaoguang."
"Tianshu is the star Tanlang, corresponding to the 'sun', and Tianxuan is the star Jumen, corresponding to the 'moon'."
"Perhaps we should go to Tianxuan first."
"Let's go."
Jiang Mingyan was the first to leave the house, his eyes fixed on Su Yi from under his deerstalker hat.
"The blood mist will temporarily retreat after daybreak, but will return at midnight. We only have two hours to find the remaining talismans."
So, everyone continued to move forward.
Everyone took their steps carefully, afraid of making any noise and disturbing this strange environment.
Their nerves were on edge, as if the air around them was filled with a sense of danger.
Su Yi followed silently at the back of the team, standing with Shen Meihua just like before.
He noticed that Du Wei walked unnaturally and always kept three steps away from Jiang Mingyan.
Moreover, his right hand would from time to time reach for the empty holster on his waist, and it was obvious that he was still worried about the magazine.
Huang Jing supported Zhou Qizhen. Although the latter's complexion was better than before, he still looked a little pale.
Su Yi thought that Zhou Qizhen’s injuries must be serious, and he wondered if he could hold on.
Shen Meihua stayed quietly beside Yang Biao.
Huang Jing suddenly broke the silence.
Her voice seemed particularly abrupt in this silent environment: "Who exactly wants to kill us?"
Zhou Qizheng heard this, paused for a moment, and then replied,
"I think it's the vengeful spirit of the person who was sacrificed. This place is filled with extremely evil spirits. I'm afraid the whole town has been massacred by him."
Su Yi pondered in his heart, based on the description he had seen in the [Mist Hidden Secret Scroll] before, it now seemed that he was most likely the one who was sacrificed.
This means that he will become a vengeful spirit who seeks revenge on the people of the town.
Zhou Qizhen, Jiang Mingyan and others accidentally broke into Wuyin Town, but could not escape this disaster.
What awaits them is only their own ruthless hunting!
However, what confused Su Yi was who was the third party that suddenly appeared before entering the house just now?
This question has been lingering in his mind.
Just as Su Yi was immersed in his thoughts, Zhou Qizhen's voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts: "We're here, this is Tianxuan."
Su Yi looked towards the house.
However, at the same moment, he felt a chill running down his spine.
Because in this house, there were suddenly strange and huge noises.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The sound was like a heavy hammer.
It hit Su Yi's heart hard.
"It seems like someone is knocking something hard..."
Yang Biao's words also confirmed Su Yi's feelings.
After hearing the noise, everyone stopped in unison and the whole scene became silent in an instant.
Even the sound that had been continuous,
It was as if it was suddenly cut off by someone and it disappeared immediately.
"careful!"
There was a hint of nervousness in Zhou Qizhen's voice. He quickly took out a yellow talisman from his arms and held it tightly in his hand.
"The evil spirit is extremely strong!"
