Nightmare Attack

Chapter 751 Taboo
"Did you see Gao Yan move the hourglass with your own eyes?" Jiang Cheng confirmed for the second time.

Shen Mengyun nodded, and said with certainty: "It was he who moved it. I can see it very clearly. The hourglass is at a relatively high position, and it is very difficult for him to reach for it."

"Then after moving the hourglass, that ghost appeared." Jiang Cheng said, "Suddenly appeared."

"Yes." As if afraid that Jiang Cheng would not believe him, Shen Mengyun's tone was a little excited, "Mr. Jiang, I won't lie to you, that ghost. That ghost really appeared suddenly."

While gesticulating with her hands, she explained: "Because the ghost has that smell, if it came from a far away place, the smell should be transmitted little by little, but this time it is not, it is suddenly very strong, and it is very strong. The pungent kind."

Recalling Shen Mengyun's words, Jiang Cheng restored the picture in his mind.

Gao Yan is a cautious person, and even cherishes his life to a certain extent.

He will not touch the hourglass for no reason.

Unless he found something.

Another point, according to Shen Mengyun's description, the moment Gao Yan reached out to take down the hourglass, the ghost immediately appeared nearby.

This shows that there is an unknown connection between the ghost and the hourglass. If you move the hourglass rashly, you will immediately call the ghost to your side.

Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng raised his head and began to carefully observe the hourglass on the bookshelf.

Although there are differences in the details of the hourglasses here, they should all come from the same place in terms of style.

The one in front of him is exquisitely crafted, with some tiny bumps around it, like tiny thorns, and
Jiang Cheng frowned.

what is this?
Through the transparent container inside the hourglass, only a small part of the fine hourglass inside could be seen, but Jiang Cheng vaguely saw something.

At the innermost part of the hourglass, more than half of it was buried by the leaked sand.

Yes. Red.

And a little black.

In order to see more clearly, Jiang Cheng stood on tiptoe, brought his face closer, and got closer until the thing suddenly turned.

Jiang Cheng was unprepared for this sudden change, but in the next second, he finally saw the true face of that thing.

It's an eyeball.

It was still the one that had been burned by the fire, and it was a little shriveled, with ugly black wrinkles on the surface. What made Jiang Cheng suffocated was that this eyeball was actually staring at him, and the pupil was shrunk into a slit.

There was resentment in his eyes.

This eyeball is alive!
Jiang Cheng figured it out immediately, the eyeballs were scorched ghosts!

But before he had any reaction, he suddenly felt a sharp pain from his arm, and the next second, a crack appeared in the scene in front of him.

After a while, it shattered like a mirror.

Jiang Cheng blinked uncontrollably, looked down at the position of his right hand, and there was a round human head on the position where the severe pain came.

The human head is biting itself.

Yes. Shen Mengyun.

As if aware of the changes in Jiangcheng, Shen Mengyun slowly raised his head, but still maintained a posture ready to bite down at any time.

While meeting Jiang Cheng's gaze, Shen Mengyun's face showed surprise, "Mr. Jiang, you finally reacted!"

"You are..." Jiang Cheng looked at his right hand, which had neat teeth marks on it, one could imagine how much effort Shen Mengyun had put in.

Shen Mengyun glanced at the hourglass, a hint of fear flashed in his eyes, turned his head, and quickly told Jiang Cheng what he saw just now: "Mr. Jiang, just now you reached out to grab the hourglass, but you didn't respond to my calling .”

"I tried to break your hand, but I couldn't do it at all. You seem to be possessed by a demon. I have no choice but to..." She glanced at Jiang Cheng's right hand, and the meaning was self-evident.

"By the way." Shen Mengyun seemed to have recalled something, and changed the subject: "The way you grabbed the hourglass just now is somewhat similar to Gao Yan."

Jiang Cheng looked at the ordinary, normal hourglass.

It just stood there without moving at all, the sand inside gradually slipped down, leaving only a little bit, and there were no eyeballs inside.

Everything just now was like an illusion.

But Jiang Cheng himself knew it was definitely not the case. He indeed saw a shriveled eyeball hidden in the hourglass.

If it wasn't for Shen Mengyun who happened to be by his side and interrupted him in time, the scene that happened to Gao Yan would probably happen to him again.

"I know why Gao Yan moved the hourglass." Jiang Cheng looked at Shen Mengyun, his gaze showed some thoughtfulness, "He was confused by the eyeballs inside, and he touched the hourglass uncontrollably."

Then, he briefly told Shen Mengyun about his experience.

"So that's how it is." With Jiangcheng's lessons learned from the past, Shen Mengyun became more and more jealous of the hourglass, and even dared not look at it carefully.

"If that's the case, aren't the hourglasses distributed in the library the eyes of the scorched ghosts?" Shen Mengyun asked, "Then it doesn't matter where we hide, since the scorched ghosts can see them anyway."

From her voice, it could be heard that she was very resistant to this result, so her tone was a little bit broken.

Jiang Cheng pondered for a moment, and said comfortingly, "It shouldn't be that bad. From just now, the eyeballs in each hourglass are in a state of deep sleep."

"As long as we keep a distance from the hourglass and don't wake it up, nothing will happen." Jiang Cheng looked at Shen Mengyun and said.

While they were talking, the last bit of sand in the hourglass finally leaked out.

This also represents the end of the mission of the third floor of the library.

Jiang Cheng sent a message to Fatty Huaiyi each, and then, the originally quiet environment began to gain popularity, Fatty and Huaiyi walked out one after the other.

After seeing Jiang Cheng supporting Shen Mengyun and coming out from behind the bookshelf, the fat man's cautious eyes turned playful.

Before the fat man could talk nonsense, Jiang Cheng first told them what happened to him, and made some analysis.

When they heard that there were scorched ghost eyes in the hourglass, and that they could be summoned, Fatty and Huai Yi searched carefully, avoiding all the hourglasses they could find.

"Damn." The fat man muttered in a low voice, "I said why this mission was so kind and got us so many timers, so they were all time bombs."

Huai Yi thought a little more, looked around, and said in a low voice, "There are a lot of hourglasses, and some places are relatively hidden. It's difficult to avoid them all."

"Bah."

"Bah."

There were footsteps behind them, everyone turned around, and it was Wang Qi who walked over alone, "It's good to see you." Wang Qi grinned and said.

Wang Qi came out from the place Shen Mengyun ran to before, it seems that he hid well, and the ghosts didn't find him.

Of course, this is most likely due to Gao Yan's blessing.

"That's right." Wang Qi took out his phone, shook it and said, "I sent a message to Gao Yan, but he didn't reply."
