When the two of them came to their senses from their trance, the scene they were in had already changed.
The sun was no longer shining on the earth, and the warm and leisurely morning park had turned into a dark and creepy street.
The width of the alley is estimated to be about three meters, which is roughly enough for a car to pass through.
Lin Fan and the old man in plain clothes were at the entrance of the street.
Stopping and looking inside, there was no light in the entire alley, only a lantern hanging high up, emitting faint candlelight, and there was a lantern every ten meters or so, extending into the distance.
Looking up, there was no sun or moon. Thick dark clouds blocked all light from the sky. This faint candlelight was the only source of illumination.
Standing at the entrance of the alley, you can't see clearly how long the entire alley is.
Even with the light of lanterns and candles, visibility was still only a few dozen meters. It was somewhat similar to the previous horrific scene, and the path outside the Canye Manor was also filled with a dangerous aura that was ready to prey on anyone.
Above their heads was an archway, covered with cobwebs and emitting a rotten smell, yet it was thick and stable, standing firm.
There are four big characters carved on the stone plaque - Dark Street at Midnight.
It corresponds exactly to what the voice just said.
Speaking of that voice.
Lin Fan looked sideways intently and looked around. On the left side in front of him, he saw a figure standing in the darkness that almost blended in. He had to look carefully to make out the figure.
It was dressed in ancient attire for a waiter, a long robe with wide sleeves, and an ancient round hat, looking very much like a receptionist in an inn.
The voice just now was spoken by it.
However, the deterrent effect on Lin Fan was not strong. He should not be the controller of the black street in the middle of the night, but was used to pass on messages.
She is somewhat similar to the weird manager of the Scarlet Hotel, or the weird head maid of the Canye Manor.
The only difference is that this weird guy is relatively weak, at most just at the intimidation level, and is far less powerful than the two life-chasing-level weird guys mentioned as examples.
Secondly, if we observe his face, it is blue as if he died of poisoning, so his body is intact and his appearance is not scary.
With this kind of appearance, it is at the bottom of the intimidation level. It can't even scare people, let alone harm them.
Staying in the horror scene is still safe, but if you go to the outside world, I am afraid you will be overwhelmed by other weird things.
Just as Lin Fan was observing the environment and collecting information.
The old man in plain clothes next to him was stunned for a long time because of his old age. Then his old face showed panic.
What's going on?
In the blink of an eye, the surrounding scene has changed drastically.
It was extremely dark, as if the sun and the moon had rotated in the blink of an eye and fell into the dark night. The uncomfortable atmosphere around him made him tremble.
"What's going on... have I traveled through time?"
He looked at the archway above his head and then at the environment in the distance.
Retro archways, ancient buildings on both sides of the streets, and no modern lights, only lanterns and candlelight, it's like seeing a ghost or traveling through time.
Naturally, he preferred the latter. After all, when he was setting up a fortune-telling stall and had nothing to do, he would read some plays and novels.
If he could travel back to the Zhou Dynasty, he could go fishing by the river and fulfill the eternal legend of Zhuang Taigong fishing and whoever wants to take the bait will do so!
…
He believed that with his knowledge, he would be able to make a career for himself.
However, I am afraid that I am getting older and won’t have much time left to live.
I'm afraid that I'll die while fishing by the river before King Wen of Zhou arrives...and then that old immortal named Jiang will steal my fishing idea, and I'll be finished.
These inexplicable thoughts came to his mind before he could even ask Lin Fan for confirmation.
Lin Fan's words were like a bucket of cold water, pouring down on his head, "It's not a time travel... We have arrived in a terrifying scene."
"What the hell?"
The old man in plain clothes felt a shudder in his heart.
He was unfamiliar with the word, but he could sense that it was not a good thing.
Thinking back to the strange incident at the beginning, I think this place must be a dangerous place. No wonder it is so cold and scary.
Looking at the performance of the old man in plain clothes, Lin Fan looked somewhat satisfied.
Generally speaking, people who have never experienced strange events will be so scared that they cry loudly, wet their pants, and run around without thinking when they enter a horror scene for the first time.
For an old man like this, who is only a little bit scared, he can be considered excellent.
Maybe it's because he's old, he's more open-minded. No wonder the terrifying scene of the strange eyes allowed the old man in plain clothes to successfully sign the contract. With this kind of mentality, he was already far ahead of others in the early stage of the terror.
After the two men exchanged a few words, the trickster who had been standing still suddenly moved and moved towards them.
In the flickering candlelight, its bluish face looked even more sinister.
He spoke again, his throat hoarse as if burned by a strong poison, "This is a dark street in the middle of the night... I'm a clerk from the Treasure House. Now we have enough people, the trial can begin..."
Hearing this, Lin Fan perked up a bit.
This trial actually limits the number of participants, which is different from the Bloody Hotel and the Canye Manor.
Generally speaking, tasks that can only be started with a limited number of people are of high difficulty.
Moreover, if the required number of people is not reached, the living people who enter the horror scene first will have to stay there until a sufficient number of people are present before the trial mission can be started. That period of time is equivalent to imprisonment!
Therefore, it existed before the rebirth that there were unlucky people who accidentally entered a horror scene with limited number of people, but the area was extremely remote and it was difficult for living people to enter.
After waiting for half a month, it was still difficult to gather enough people, and they eventually starved to death in the horrific scene.
This time Lin Fan was careless.
The oversight was mainly due to the old man being old and frail, and it was assumed that the horror scenarios he could complete to survive would not be too difficult, which led to the negligence.
Otherwise, it is entirely possible that the two of them would be trapped here for many days without any dry food.
Of course, Lin Fan holds a Bloody Hotel membership card that allows him to leave here at any time.
If there really is a problem, just open up a channel and run away. Don't worry too much.
"plz follow me."
After the guy said something strange, he turned around and walked deeper into the alley.
Lin Fan followed, and the old man in plain clothes followed closely behind him.
The two of them walked for dozens of steps when suddenly an old man in plain clothes appeared behind them, tugged at Lin Fan's sleeve, and approached him, saying in a low voice, "Brother, I see that this man's face is dark... I think he's going to have a bloody disaster, and I'm afraid he won't live long."
Although his fortune-telling was 90% inaccurate, the man's face was very easy to read.
His face was a deep blue, almost black...
As the ancient books say, a black forehead means a bloody disaster, that’s for sure!
"Don't worry about it, it died a long time ago."
Lin Fan said softly without even turning his head.
"oh."
The old man in plain clothes breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that he's dead. I thought I miscalculated again."
