Chapter 79, Error Time Estimation
"Cousin, put me down!"
Seeing that she had become a burden to her cousin, Zhong Linlin struggled to get off.
As long as she doesn't hold me back, my cousin will definitely be able to escape on her own.
"What are you talking about? We're going out together. If one person is missing, the team isn't complete."
Just like its name suggests, the Undeterred by Wind and Rain team is not afraid of any storms or waves.
Zhong Bingxuan carried Zhong Linlin on her back, dealing with the endless stream of chocolates and candies. Linlin's eyes were filled with tears, but she dared not move any further. When she struggled just now, she almost caused her cousin to be attacked by the strange candy.
I don't dare to move at all now, I can only wait for the right opportunity to breastfeed my cousin.
"Why haven't they come out yet?"
As time ticked by and Zhong Bingxuan and the other two showed no sign of coming out, Fu Yuchen paced anxiously in circles.
"It seems something's happened."
"What's the problem? We've already blacked out all the candy on that road, including the candy people. We haven't overlooked any place that might pose a danger."
To make it easier for their teammates to escape, Fu Yucheng and Li Hanmo worked together to paint over all the colored things on the escape route, which shouldn't have caused any problems.
However, Zhong Bingxuan and her companion did not come out. It was obvious that they had overlooked something and failed to notice that they were blocking their two female teammates' way out.
"Have you coated these candies?"
Li Hanmo carefully examined the items in the photo, his gaze suddenly falling on the black candy. Was it painted black, or was that the candy's natural color?
Li Hanmo picked it up and smelled it; it didn't seem to have the smell of ink.
It's also quite strange and cunning. When ink is applied to a photo, it is mysteriously absorbed by the photo, leaving no trace of coloring. This makes it impossible to tell from the appearance whether the candy has been colored.
Given the time constraints, Li Hanmo and Fu Yuchen worked together to color the candies, resulting in some candies not being colored at all, which the other person didn't even know.
"I don't know either."
In his haste to apply the color, Fu Yuchen didn't even notice that he had colored those things. He just used ink to fill in anything that wasn't black.
"If I'm not mistaken, we must have overlooked the fact that the candies were originally black. Let's go to the studio and put a layer of ink on those black candies."
The original black color wasn't created by Li Hanmo and Fu Yucheng, and it offers no suppression against strange forces.
Fortunately, the photos here were all taken indoors, so you can find the live version.
Li Hanmo and Fu Yuchen rushed to the filming location in Candy City and, comparing it with the photos in their hands, coated all the chocolate candies with it.
"A cunning and eerie approach, using visual effects to lower our guard in turn."
No normal person would think that there are items that are originally black that need to be colored; they would probably misunderstand that they are safe and harmless.
"Hopefully this mistake didn't cause too much trouble for Ah Xuan."
Compared to Fu Yuchen's constant complaints, Li Hanmo was more worried about Ah Xuan's physical safety.
Linlin is weak in combat, and it must be very dangerous for Ah Xuan to drag someone out.
"It'll be alright. That fierce woman is no pushover. We didn't waste much time, and she can handle it."
Fu Yucheng kept muttering to himself, it was unclear whether he was trying to comfort himself or if he truly believed it.
On the other hand, Zhong Bingxuan, on whom Fu Yucheng had placed high hopes, was not doing as well as he had imagined.
If it weren't for Linlin's healing presence, her body would have been torn to shreds by chocolate candies and eaten as snacks.
Even reloading the save file and starting over can't hide the fear of death.
What Fu Yucheng and Li Hanmo just did has brought about a huge change to the inside of the photo.
The once menacing chocolate candy became soft and mushy, its body slowly softening, and its fighting power greatly reduced.
"Linlin, do you still have any exorcism talismans? Go and kill them."
Seeing the chocolate candies melting away, Zhong Bingxuan realized that Linlin's mandatory mission was not yet complete. Now, with the strange power greatly reduced, it was the best time to complete the mission.
Upon hearing her cousin's words, Zhong Linlin immediately got off her cousin, took an exorcism talisman, and headed towards the softened chocolate.
This time, Zhong Bingxuan didn't stop Zhong Linlin from coming down. Constantly protecting her would only spoil Linlin. Letting go appropriately would allow Linlin to grow.
While Linlin dealt with these strange skills, Zhong Bingxuan rested for a while before taking Linlin out.
"Cousin, I've dealt with all the chocolate anomalies, and the mandatory tasks are complete as well."
"Now that everything is settled, let's leave quickly, as time is running out."
Zhong Bingxuan estimated the time they had spent in the instance and realized that there was very little time left, about half an hour. If they didn't leave quickly, something bad might happen.
However, Zhong Bingxuan made one mistake in her prediction: the passage of time changed incorrectly after they entered the photo, and the remaining time that Zhong Bingxuan calculated was wrong.
Fortunately, Zhong Linlin thought that she could finally help, so she was full of energy and fought off the monster. The time consumed was less, and the two left the photo world before the last ten minutes.
"Why aren't they coming out yet? It's almost time."
"There shouldn't be any problems."
Li Hanmo reviewed everything that had happened and found nothing suspicious, but Ah Xuan and the others still hadn't come out, which was a bit odd.
"Damn it, I should have tried to get in and help them out."
"If you come in, and Hanmo is all alone outside, the situation will be even worse. Be rational, young man."
"What kind of time is this? Hanmo, you're still joking with me."
"I didn't say that."
Who is that?
"Fu Yucheng, you're so dizzy you can't even recognize my voice."
Zhong Bingxuan stared at Fu Yuchen with a mocking look. Fu Yuchen's lips twitched, and he couldn't help but roll his eyes. He pulled Linlin, who was following behind him, and rushed towards the front door.
"You fierce woman, at this critical moment of life and death, you still have the mind to joke? It's like your eyebrows are on fire, hurry up and run for your life."
Let's deal with whatever comes up after we escape. Who knows what strange things might happen if we miss the deadline and run out of the Apocalypse Wedding Dress Shop?
"Calligraphy and painting??"
Zhong Bingxuan was stunned by Fu Yuchen's act of snatching her away and asked her lover in confusion what had happened.
"Let's talk outside."
Li Hanmo also pulled Zhong Bingxuan and rushed towards the main entrance. Just as the two of them rushed past the main entrance, the Tianqi Wedding Dress Shop behind them looked just like daytime.
The photo is black and white, the wedding dress is made of paper, the staff's smiles become stiff, the lively smiles on the faces of the scattered night owl guests who have not yet left turn into fear in an instant, and then return to calm, watching the four people who escape with blank expressions.
It's like a silent plea: Why did you run away? You should have stayed and kept us company.
