Chapter 246 Midnight Haunted House 33
Su Qingyun looked at the time. It was almost twelve o'clock. She made a gesture to Ye Jian to keep quiet.
"Stop talking nonsense. We've been here for almost four hours and we haven't even cleared out a single evil spirit. Just tell me, how did you get out of the lounge?"
"Because there are two entrances and exits to the lounge, the exit security sign you see flashed red, but the other one didn't."
When Su Qingyun heard this, she hurriedly ran towards the driveway where Ye Jian had just come out, regardless of the fact that it was still raining.
Ye Jian looked at her anxious expression and shook his head slightly. He said to Xu Xinghe, "Our captain is still only focused on completing the mission."
Xu Xinghe also looked at Su Qingyun's departing back. He defended Su Qingyun and said, "When we are in the dungeon, we should focus on how to pass it."
"That's true, but she can't forget her other pursuits," Ye Jian said, then he patted Xu Xinghe's shoulder and smiled meaningfully.
When Ye Jian caught up with Su Qingyun, Su Qingyun had already wiped the rain off her hair and was standing at another entrance of the lounge looking at the emergency exit indicator light.
The indicator light was exactly as Ye Jian said, the one for this entrance and exit was blue.
She walked up the stairs, entered the lounge, and then looked around until she found the stairs leading to Area F on the first underground floor.
There is no emergency exit sign at the entrance of the stairs, and naturally there are no blue or red lights to pay attention to.
Su Qingyun turned around and glanced at Ye Jian who had followed him, and said to him, "I'm going to take the stairs. If you're worried about this staircase, you can wait for me outside."
Ye Jian started to feel wronged again when he heard this. He said, "If I was worried about a problem, I would definitely follow you. If there is no problem, I will follow you even more. Captain, I am your soldier, and you hurt my heart again by saying this."
Seeing him like this, Su Qingyun couldn't help but complain, "Your heart is so fragile. If I ignore you, you will be sad. If I care about you, you will also be sad."
"You're absolutely right. I'm just very fragile."
After Ye Jian finished speaking, he took a step closer to Su Qingyun, but Su Qingyun pressed the peach wood sword against his shoulder.
"We just separated for a while. As usual, first prove whether you are my team member Ye Jian."
"We have made an alliance. We both have a blooming red spider lily around our waists. If you want proof, I'll take off my clothes and show you."
Su Qingyun moved the peach wood sword away. She didn't actually want to verify Ye Jian, but she just didn't want Ye Jian to keep using the fact that she didn't care about him as an excuse.
In the next copy, if she becomes a teammate again, she decides to carefully consider whether to choose Ye Jian when choosing team members.
She turned around and went downstairs, and Ye Jian followed her downstairs.
Xu Xinghe arrived later and saw that the two people had disappeared. He quickly threw his umbrella aside, took out the trap from behind and ran quickly to the stairs.
The stairwell was dark, an inky black.
Su Qingyun walked down the stairs very carefully holding a flashlight. Ye Jian, who followed her, said, "I'll go ahead," and took two steps in front of Su Qingyun.
They went down a few more steps before Xu Xinghe rushed over from behind. He said to Su Qingyun and Ye Jian, "How could you walk so fast? You disappeared in the blink of an eye."
Su Qingyun felt that she was not walking fast. When Ye Jian arrived at the lounge, the two of them were still standing there talking for a few words. How could Xu Xinghe, who arrived later, feel that she was walking fast?
"Have you cleaned up the security guards' heads?" Su Qingyun asked Xu Xinghe as he walked down.
"No, need to clean up?"
Su Qingyun stopped asking. She thought it was normal that there was a two or three minute difference between Xu Xinghe and Ye Jian coming in.
But Xu Xinghe understood what Su Qingyun meant. He asked Su Qingyun, "Did you wait for me at the door for a long time? But Ye Jian and I came in at the same time."
"Followed by?" Su Qingyun stopped and said, "You mean you followed Ye Jian when he entered the lounge?"
"Yes." It is true.
Ye Jian also stopped and looked up at Xu Xinghe.
He heard the conversation between Xu Xinghe and Su Qingyun just now.
When he entered the lounge just now, he was walking in front of Xu Xinghe and didn't care about the distance between him and Xu Xinghe.
But it should be only a few steps away.
It was only a few steps away, but Xu Xinghe took two or three minutes to walk. If Xu Xinghe didn't do other things, there might be one reason.
"Is there a barrier in the lounge?" That was all Ye Jian could think of.
Su Qingyun didn't understand, so she asked Ye Jian what a barrier was. Could it be the same barrier as the one on her skill card?
"It's a time barrier. I also learned about this situation in a copy. The time barrier may be formed by a force, or it may be the result of technology. It can affect the flow of time in a specific area, or block time, or make the area become another space." Ye Jian explained.
He added, "The time barrier has three core characteristics. First, the flow of time is abnormal. Time inside the barrier may be faster or slower than the outside world, or even stagnate or flow backwards. For example, if you stay in the barrier for an hour, a day may have passed outside, and vice versa.
Second, space has its own independence. The area within the time barrier usually has a clear scope, and the internal time rules are isolated from the outside world. Only by entering the barrier can one be affected by it.
The third characteristic is that its trigger may be magic, technological devices, special energy fields, etc. Generally speaking, it requires some energy to maintain. Once the energy disappears, the barrier may become ineffective.
After hearing this, Su Qingyun quickly checked the time. Her watch showed 10:10 pm.
"You're right. There's a time barrier in the lounge, and we're inside it right now. The time on my watch is ten minutes past ten, which means we've gone back more than an hour."
"It's not like we walked back for over an hour. Instead, when you entered the lounge, time went back to the strange time of 10 PM. Xu Xinghe might have been blocked by time when he came in just now, so he felt like he was right beside me, but he was actually two or three minutes late."
"Why is this happening?" Xu Xinghe asked a core question.
"Why would this parking lot set up a time barrier in the lounge? We've been here for so long, and besides seeing the child and someone claiming to be Lingling's mother, there's only the security guard who suddenly transformed into a plastic mannequin. The appearance of these people is all contaminated information." Xu Xinghe continued to ask, "Is this parking lot's anomaly inherent, or is it man-made?"
Su Qingyun understood what Xu Xinghe meant by asking these questions. What he wanted to express was that the parking lot scene might be different from the first two they had experienced.
The first two are really haunted houses, but this one is full of technology and tough work.
The worst possible outcome of the time barrier is an infinite loop.
When Su Qingyun pushed open the fire door and walked out of the stairwell, she felt that Xu Xinghe's guess was right.
