As Qin Manjiang lightly touched the screen, the grinning grimace spread, twisted and disappeared like ripples in the water, slowly blending into the black screen.

Instead, there were two short bloody words:

【Yin number:】

Yin number?

After thinking for a moment, he understood the intention.

A name or title other than one's own given name is called an alias. For example, Bai Juyi, whose courtesy name was Lotte, and whose nickname was Xiangshan Jushi.

The so-called Yin code here probably refers to a code name specifically used in another scene.

That is to say, let him choose another name.

"Wow--"

Suddenly, several pieces of gravel fell from above the head, and the patter of night rain fell into the cinema through the exposed gaps.

Qin Manjiang raised his head and looked through the potholes to the dark night sky.

Tonight, there is a strong wind and rain, covering everything above and around us like a bottomless abyss.

He thought for a moment, stretched out his finger, and wrote only two words in the frame of the negative sign——

abyss.

【Yin number: Abyss.】

The word "abyss" seemed to sink into the water, and was quickly swallowed up by the black screen.

Then, lines of red fonts quickly appeared:

[Individual mode, turn on. (Passing will unlock multiplayer mode)]

[Ghost Stories: Critical Ghost Stories]

[No. 36, Tiannan Road, Fucheng, Critical Cinema was built fifteen years ago.]

[The cinema is luxuriously decorated, the electrical wiring is complicated to lay, and there are many flammable and combustible materials. Once a fire breaks out, the fire can easily spread. 】

【Since a fire ten years ago, strange things have happened frequently in Critical Cinema. 】

[Some people saw other people in the mirror of the bathroom in the cinema, and some people saw an unknown figure appearing in a place where no one should be while watching the movie.]

[Rumors are rampant, and movie theater patronage has plummeted. Until recently, the combination of the latest horror movies and a theater with urban legends has been particularly eye-catching.]

[There are more people in the cinema again...]

Although the text scrolled very fast, Qin Manjiang memorized every word without landing. Only now did he understand what Li Xijiu meant just now.

game……

Yes, this is indeed a game.

A ghost story game that takes place in the real world.

Who is the designer of this game?

Qin Manjiang was not frightened or frightened. He stared at all the information on the screen of his mobile phone. He wanted to engrave it all in his mind.

Using mobile phones as a carrier and games as a method, this cannot be the result of manipulation by some supernatural force.

In other words, this game that was released to the public was definitely designed by humans!

who is it?

What is the purpose?

Why are you pestering me?

What's special about me?

Layers of doubts flooded his mind, and Qin Manjiang couldn't find the answers to these questions yet.

The large explanatory text on the phone screen has disappeared, replaced by a ten-second countdown in blood!

"ten."

"Nine."

"eight."

"seven."

"..."

"three."

Qin Manjiang's breathing became inexplicably rapid. He hated the feeling that his body was not under his control.

"two."

My heart began to heat up, as if someone had burned it with a red-hot iron and burned a hole through it.

"one!"

The whole world seemed to be soaked in water at this moment, and everything around began to twist strangely!

Qin Manjiang endured the severe discomfort and stared at the screen of his mobile phone.

When the countdown was completely over, the grinning grimace appeared again, and this time, it actually rushed out of the phone screen, opened its ferocious mouth, and swallowed him in one gulp!

Qin Manjiang subconsciously raised his arms and blocked them in front of him.

However, the next moment, he was surprised to see himself. He was keeping his hands in front of him, taking a step forward with his left foot, and was stepping up with his right foot.

In this posture, he was frozen in the ruins of the cinema, frozen in time and space, weird and strange.

The next moment, the world suddenly moved, and time suddenly went backwards in a state that was contrary to common sense!

The raindrops that fell into the movie theater returned to the sky backwards, and the rocks that had just fallen flew back strangely...

Dust, gravel, and the intertwining light of light and dark are constantly changing!

The night retrogrades into day, and the setting sun retrogrades into morning sun.

The sky goes from dark to bright, then from bright to dark again, and in the blink of an eye the sky is filled with stars again!

Firefighters wearing fire-resistant suits held water guns to put out the fire, while search and rescue dogs searched and explored...

Time is going backwards!

The strange and majestic power cast mottled shadows on Qin Manjiang's body as time and space passed, making his face look a little uncertain.

This process may take a minute, or it may only take a moment.

At that moment, Qin Manjiang suddenly felt that his body could move, his consciousness fell back from being a bystander to himself, and his sense of control returned again.

What appeared in front of me was the Critical Cinema, which was brightly lit at night and had not yet been burned down.

This is still a toilet, but all cubicles are intact, clean and bright.

The incredulity in Qin Manjiang's eyes gradually subsided and turned into silence. He picked up the phone and looked at the screen, and a line of bloody words appeared——

"The game begins, I wish you good luck."

"Ghost Story Player——Abyss."

The screen suddenly disappears, the screen goes black and then lights up, and then the normal screen appears.

Time display——

August 11th, evening, 11:05.

I really came back... back to the same time and space as Li Xi, in the cinema that had not yet been burned down.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a cry: "Ah..."

Qin Manjiang suddenly turned his head. He was about to hit the object that made the sound with his cell phone's bright flashlight, but stopped when he saw the face.

The compartment door opened, and a tall, handsome guy with crisp hair revealed half of his face, staring at him with wide eyes. Who else could it be if it wasn't Li Xi?

Qin Manjiang covered his mouth: "Shh! Don't scream!"

Li Xi shook his head repeatedly, broke away from Qin Manjiang's hand, and took a breath: "I made up my mind for a long time before opening the toilet door, and you suddenly appeared in the toilet. It was so scary!"

"You don't have to scream when you're scared. You can just slap yourself."

"But won't it hurt too much?"

"Used to it."

Qin Manjiang put away the flashlight. It was brightly lit now, so there was no need for it for the time being.

"Listen, we don't have much time. Let me explain the situation to you."

"..."

"ah?"

Li Xi said "Ah" again, and then exclaimed: "If we can't solve this weird story, will we be trapped here? Burned to death? It's a death game!"

"You believe it now?" Qin Manjiang glanced at him.

"That's what you said," Li Xi said matter-of-factly, "It all depends on you, Brother Qin, you know the state of my mind."

Qin Manjiang ignored him. He was just lazy. Although Li Xi didn't study anymore, he was admitted to Fucheng University without any means.

"Let's go out first." Qin Manjiang said.

"No, brother, that lunatic is still patrolling outside." Li Xi grabbed him.

"What madman?" Qin Manjiang asked.

"I don't know. I can't see his face clearly. He looks like a man with a bright machete in his hand. He's so thin and tall that he almost reaches the ceiling."

Li Xi said.

Qin Manjiang raised his head and glanced at the ceiling. It was almost three meters high, right? Is this still a human being?

"We're going down to get some news."

Although Li Xi said "that man outside" was dangerous, Qin Manjiang decided to find an opportunity to go out.

"What news are you asking for?" Li Xi was a little confused.

"Ten years ago, fire, dead."

As soon as he finished speaking, the lights in the toilet flickered very suddenly, and then, faint laughter appeared in the ears of the two of them. It was extremely weird, like a child.

"Qin Qin Qin Qin...Brother Qin...just...just...that...that voice..."

Li Xi was trembling when he spoke, and his whole body became panicked.

"Aren't you afraid of everything?" Qin Manjiang wasn't too scared. He had seen this kind of impending storm in movies many times. What's more, he already had a vague guess in his heart.

"I'm not afraid of heaven or earth, but I'm afraid of dogs, snakes, ghosts, murderers, lunatics..."

"Okay," Qin Manjiang interrupted him expressionlessly and asked Li Xi to continue talking. He could talk about a fire in the cinema and everyone being burned alive. "I have two ways, you choose one."

"Can I choose neither?"

"Okay, then you can find a cubicle and stay there. I'll leave first."

"Wait...brother...let me listen..."

Li Xi grabbed Qin Manjiang's sleeve, fearing that he would really abandon her. The flickering toilet lights and the sinister laughter of children really made him feel numb.

"The first way is, I have a wrench in my backpack. I'll give it to you. You take the wrench and fight the madman in the corridor. As long as you defeat him, we can go downstairs, find out the news and solve this strange story.

"

"I choose the second one."

Li Xi's greatest advantage is that he knows current affairs. Under the threat of the first method, he agreed to the second one without even hearing what it was.

"Well, I also think the second way is better." Qin Manjiang said as he walked towards the toilet door. The lights in the toilet no longer flickered, but small figures began to appear on the mirror in the toilet.

The black palm print looks particularly eye-catching.

But Qin Manjiang didn't take it seriously at all, and Li Xi was so frightened that he didn't dare to let go of his sleeves.

Qin Manjiang stretched out his head and took a look, and saw a tall, thin "person" at the end of the corridor, connecting the elevator and the stairs!

He was holding a shiny machete in his hand, and his posture was extremely weird.

First of all, he is indeed almost three meters tall, almost reaching the ceiling.

Secondly, perhaps because of his height, his knees are bent unnaturally and his arms are too long and narrow.

Compared with the image of a human... he is more like a scarecrow inserted in the rice field, specially used to deter birds or wild beasts.

"Listen, the overall structure of this cinema is a U-shaped ring. The left side of the U is connected to the stairs, and the right side is connected to the escalator. Now the madman is guarding this end of the stairs. We have to separate. One person attracts his attention, and the other

Go around alone and go around to the end of the escalator."

Qin Manjiang said in a low voice.

"Brother... there are fingerprints all over the bathroom mirror. Is it really okay..."

Li Xi asked tremblingly.

"The doors of the other screening rooms are not closed. Each screening room has an entrance and an exit. We can go around in circles with him. You choose one, should you take him around in circles or go downstairs to ask for information?"

Qin Manjiang asked.

Li Xi calmed down for a moment, thought about it carefully, and said with a sullen face, "I don't know what to ask for information. You go ahead and I'll sneak him away."

"Okay, I'll count to three, two, and one, let's take action."

"Hey!"

Li Xi didn't expect Qin Manjiang to move so quickly, so he quickly pulled him back: "I'm not ready yet, let me take some oxygen."

"Why are you breathing oxygen in the toilet? It's all ammonia."

Qin Manjiang also calmed down, pressed Li Xijiu's shoulders seriously, and said, "Be careful, if this happens to you... I owe you."

Li Xi looked confused, but his mood finally calmed down.

"Brother Qin, let me ask you a question."

"Um?"

"That negative number, what did you fill in?"

"Abyss, what's wrong? What about you?"

Li Xi grinned and reached out to hit his chest:

"Invincible Tyrannosaurus Warrior!"

Qin Manjiang's face darkened:
Chapter completed!
