7 Movie 07‖Woman
"ah……"
The man seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, walking straight forward. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't stop.
The people around watched in horror as everything happened before their eyes, and no one dared to step forward to help. They seemed to be shrouded in an inexplicable fear and could only watch the situation unfold.
"Help... Help..." The man's voice was squeezed out of his throat with difficulty, filled with endless despair and fear.
The whole scene seemed weird and terrifying, leaving everyone present in a daze, completely forgetting what to do next.
"What are you looking at! Run!" At this moment, Jing Ning's exclamation broke the deadlock and woke everyone up from their trance.
Yan Shuang suddenly woke up. When he looked over, the man had stopped moving forward and was lying on the ground.
In a flash, Lin Haichen rushed forward in two or three steps, grabbed the man's clothes, and several people ran in the opposite direction.
The desire to survive made everyone speed up their pace, but it was dark and the road was slippery, so they couldn't go any faster.
After returning to the original place again, Yan Shuang observed the surroundings more carefully. Fortunately, there was nothing unusual this time. He breathed a sigh of relief and slowly exhaled a breath of foul air.
Lin Haichen placed the man on his back on the ground. Out of his doctor's instinct, he patiently checked the man's condition.
The man was in a deep coma, his lips were purple and his breathing was weak.
"It was caused by sudden suffocation." Lin Haichen said.
Jing Ning looked at the dark purple handprint on the man's neck and concluded, "Judging from the size, it's a woman's hand."
Female ghost?
This is the most useful clue they have at the moment.
A few people didn't dare to get too close to the tree, so they stood there and rested for a while, planning to continue on their journey.
"Brother Lin, you've been carrying me all the way. Let me help you." After saying that, Yan Shuang helped the man up from the ground.
Just as she was about to carry him on her back, Yan Shuang felt her hands become empty. Jing Ning, with an unhappy look on his face, picked up the man like a little chicken and carried him on his shoulders.
Yan Shuang said, "Well, I'll do it anyway."
"Watch the road." Jing Ning said coldly.
Yan Shuang felt that the speed at which he changed his expression was textbook-level. It was said that women's hearts were as unpredictable as the sea, so how could men's minds be unpredictable?
After walking for who knows how many times, when everyone was exhausted, they could finally vaguely see the small village at the foot of the mountain through the woods.
The tree trunk is still the same tree trunk, nothing has changed; the landmarks are still the same, hanging there intact.
"This... this is out!" Xu Yaoyu shouted excitedly, her face filled with joy. "You guys are amazing!"
However, facing the situation before her, Yan Shuang asked hesitantly, "Then this tree...should we still move it?"
This is indeed a problem. If the tree is not moved, we will have to go up the mountain again tomorrow, but no one wants to go through it again.
Lin Haichen gritted his teeth and said, "Move!"
Everyone was silent on the way back, fortunately nothing unexpected happened.
A few people first delivered the wood to the village chief. The village chief didn't even look at the wood on the ground. He stared at the people and said in a hoarse voice: "There are too many people and not enough skins."
None of them spoke and turned back to their residence.
The living room was brightly lit, and the bright light illuminated the entire space, but it could not dispel the gloom and fatigue in everyone's hearts.
What happened today had left everyone feeling exhausted. It was impossible not to panic after two people had been in trouble. However, despite being exhausted to the extreme, they still had to face reality and discuss the next step.
"Yan Shuang," Lin Haichen shouted, "How do you know there's something wrong with his clothes?"
"The position is wrong. The clothes are a few centimeters away from the original." Yan Shuang recalled the scene at that time. "At first I was not sure because the change was too small. It is possible that it was blown away by the wind. But then I thought, in the domain, anything wrong could be a hint."
Lin Haichen nodded with satisfaction and continued, "Now that the tree problem has been solved, it's time to find the bark."
"The village chief just now said that there are too many people. What does that mean?" Xu Yaoyu asked.
"I have a bad feeling." Lin Haichen frowned, "There are still four days left. I hope my guess is wrong."
Yan Shuang also roughly guessed the meaning. Aren’t they living creatures?
"We still have to find more clues tomorrow as soon as possible." Lin Haichen frowned and said in a heavy tone, "Time is running out. We can't delay any longer. The situation will become more dangerous with each passing day. And according to the rules, the death conditions will increase again tonight."
Xiao Zhang clasped his hands together in embarrassment, his face full of despair and fear. He shouted in a trembling voice: "Save me, please save me, I don't want to die yet!" His eyes were full of begging, hoping that someone could give him a chance of life.
Indeed, he was the most dangerous person tonight. After all, he was in the same room with the unconscious man. Worse still, he had been marked by a ghost, and no one could predict whether the ghost would come to visit him at night.
Yan Shuang wanted to help him, but he couldn't protect himself, and he didn't know what the conditions for death would be tonight.
silence……
Xiao Zhang stood up and knelt at Lin Haichen's feet without giving up. Lin Haichen sighed. He was a doctor and should have been used to seeing life and death. However, it was too hard for him to accept watching a living life disappear like that.
Xiao Zhang came to Yan Shuang again. Yan Shuang opened her mouth several times, but no sound came out. At this moment, words of comfort would only seem pale and powerless.
Jing Ning looked at the trembling Xiao Zhang, "I'm sorry. I think you should have understood long ago that the moment you entered the game, your life was hanging by a thread. If you don't die tonight, you might die tomorrow night. Even if you get out of this game, there will be the next one, and the next one after that. You don't know when it will end. Things like life are predetermined."
Xiao Zhang's body trembled violently and he could hardly stand.
"Don't think too much. Just do what you have to do. As long as you are alive, it's fine. Not being able to live may not be a kind of relief." Jing Ning said calmly.
Xiao Zhang wiped the tears from her face and said in a trembling voice, "Thank you." Then she turned and walked towards the stairs.
Jing Ning looked at his back, his eyes suddenly moving, "Don't light candles or any light after you enter the room. Stay away from him. No matter what you hear or see, don't make any noise."
The man turned and looked at him.
"This is just my guess. I'm not sure if it will work." Jing Ning's voice was tired. "You can try it."
Xiao Zhang responded gratefully: "Okay, okay, thank you, thank you."
Who can say for sure about such things? Jing Ning is not a god, and being able to express his thoughts in such a dangerous place can be said to be his lifesaver.
