Chapter 182 Time Stop
Chapter 182 Time Stop

Outside the department store.

The group looked up at the building, which looked increasingly eerie under the moonlight, without saying a word.

In fact, I didn’t come to the mission site out of concern.

Because this is the first time that Wuji has released a mission in reality, and in the future.

Everyone wants to see what the difference is.

"What time is it?" Li Mu asked casually while sitting on the ground.

He was really too tired. Lack of sleep for a long period of time had left him with extremely low energy.

It's because Li Mu is diligent in exercising. If it were someone else, his body would have collapsed by now.

"Three minutes to one in the morning."

The one who answered Li Mu was Gu Pingsheng.

This thirty-year-old surgeon possesses the unique charm of a mature man.

"It's too quiet..." Li Mu said softly.

No one else said anything. They had discussed before that if they needed help from outside the building, they would call, but until now, no call had been made.

Hope... is a good thing.

……

inside the ventilation duct.

After choosing the rightmost pipe, Qi Nian kept crawling forward.

However, her speed has been getting slower and slower.

It’s not that the passage is still shrinking. In fact, she seems to have chosen the right path. Since entering the rightmost fork, she has never heard the terrible bell sound behind her again.

Her plan seemed to be successful, and the ghost was led into another passage.

Although this was something worth being happy about, Qi Nian just couldn't be happy at this moment.

She had exhausted too much physical energy.

Crawling through the ventilation duct in this position is much more difficult than you might think.

What was even worse was that her hands and feet were numb.

Because the tube was too narrow, she couldn't straighten her back and it was impossible for her to stretch her limbs comfortably.

Moreover, she had lost her cell phone that she used for lighting, and the passage was now dark, low, and depressing.

If ordinary people stay in this kind of environment for a long time, they are likely to suffer from claustrophobia.

The physical exhaustion was no longer a problem that could be solved by willpower alone. Although there was no movement behind him, things had already developed to an extremely bad point.

Once the evil ghost realized that he had been tricked and crawled back the same way to look for her, she would be really dead.

Because now...she can't move anymore.

The only thing she could do now was to rest quickly and recover her strength as soon as possible, at least to be able to move her hands and feet.

"call……"

Qi Nian let out a breath, and in this empty tunnel, confusion and fear finally appeared in her eyes.

The ordinary days seemed so far away as the last life. What mistake did I make to be chosen by Wu Ji?

Qi Nian was puzzled before, but now, she no longer wanted to think about this problem.

Must survive!
This time she came to Yecheng not only to carry out this mission, but also to... Guishou Mountain.

Only Lu Guo knew that she had a white magatama in her hand, and Lu Guo had a black magatama in his hand.

She and Lu Guo both dreamed of Guishou Mountain. Perhaps, not only could they get rid of the two magatama that hid evil spirits there, but they could also break Wu Ji's curse!
Qi Nian's eyes became more determined, he must survive...

After he stopped having wild thoughts, his physical strength seemed to recover a lot faster. Qi Nian was about to show joy when he was suddenly stunned.

She listened carefully and suddenly felt cold all over.

"Ding-ling-ling-ling-ling--cha-cha-cha-cha-cha--"

The sound of rapid bells kept coming from behind, scaring Qi Nian so much that his face turned pale.

It found something was wrong, so it came looking for it!
This time, in addition to the ringing sound, Qi Nian also heard the sound of extremely intense friction on the inner wall of the pipe.

How can it be so fast?

Qi Nian suppressed his fear and crawled forward immediately!
She no longer cared whether or not any overly violent movement would hurt herself. The ringing sound was very close now, and the evil ghost was about to crawl over to her. Her life was almost gone, so how could she still care about getting hurt?

Qi Nian had tried her best. The crazy secretion of adrenaline made her no longer feel the pain, but she was only a human being after all. Compared with the evil spirit that suddenly increased its speed, the little distance she moved with great effort was simply a drop in the bucket.

Qi Nian gritted her teeth. She didn't want to die, not in this dark and dirty ventilation duct. However, reality dealt her a heavy blow.

Suddenly, a strong beam of light shone from behind her. It was a cell phone.

It has caught up...

Qi Nian turned his head unwillingly and looked behind him.

What she saw was a rotten ghost face with her cell phone in its mouth and a pair of scarlet eyes staring at her.

Terrible resentment and malice surged in an instant, drowning Qi Nian like a tide.

it's over...

When she was dying, in addition to fear and unwillingness, an inexplicable thought suddenly popped up in her mind.

Who sent the text message?

Unfortunately, she may never know the answer.

Qi Nian looked straight at it. This horrible evil spirit had stretched out its completely rotten arms and was grabbing her ankles.

one meter.

Half a meter.

Thirty centimeters.

It seemed that its hand was about to grab Qi Nian.

suddenly!

Qi Nian felt a strong dizziness surge in his brain!

The space around him also felt like a strange wave surging!

A strange feeling of distortion came over me, just like... when I first entered this building!
How is this going?

Qi Nian, who closed his eyes out of despair at the last moment, opened his eyes again.

And yet…what she saw was.

"You...why are you here?!"

She looked at Song Que, Bai Yanliang, Yang Muwan, and... Zhou Li in front of her in disbelief!
However, no one answered her question at this moment, and everyone looked around vigilantly.

After a moment, Bai Yanliang said, "It turns out that after an hour, we will go directly back to the entrance."

The others also understood what had just happened.

Qi Nian stood there in a daze.

It turned out that at the last second when the evil ghost was about to catch him, the time was up?

But when the time was up, all of them went straight back to the starting point!

Qi Nian found it hard to believe that such a dramatic thing had happened to her. Bai Yanliang saw her dazed look and asked, "Did it catch up with you?"

Qi Nian was stunned, then looked at Bai Yanliang.

"It's you?"

Bai Yanliang did not answer, but did not deny it either. Seeing that Qi Nian had come back to his senses, he turned his attention to Zhou Li.

Just now, after everyone was sent back to the entrance, apart from the initial vigilance and confusion, only two people were obviously not in the right state.

One is Qi Nian.

The other one is Zhou Li.

Similar to Qi Nian, Zhou Li also looked like he had lost his soul at this moment, standing there with dull eyes.

"Zhou Li?"

Bai Yanliang called over.

Zhou Li didn't react.

"Zhou Li?"

Bai Yanliang shouted again.

But Zhou Li still didn't respond.

Now, everyone could see that something was wrong with him.

Song Que looked at Zhou Li in confusion. With his eyes, he could still see the transparent outline outside Zhou Li's body.

This at least proves that Zhou Li is not dead.

So, Song Que came to Zhou Li and slapped him on the back:

"Hey! Wake up!"
