Wen Ning is out?

Lin Yue felt a chill run down her spine at that moment and suddenly looked up at the top of her head and around her.

No pale, ghostly hand appeared on the ceiling.

The shopping mall remains the same, except for the dust, clutter, and mannequins that are inherently unsettling.

It's not just about real-life scenarios under objective conditions.

Even he himself did not hear that eerie, indistinct, murmuring hallucination that he experienced each time he was attacked.

Despite the reality.

But when he summoned the panel that appeared in front of him, it was indeed slowly counting down.

9 minutes 52 seconds.

9 minutes 51 seconds.

9 minutes 50 seconds.

······

An unknown and inexplicable fear, like a poisonous spider, was gnawing at the heart in Lin Yue's chest.

Thump thump thump thump thump—

My heart was beating incredibly fast.

He swallowed hard.

"It's good that I'm out. At least the mission has finally started, and this time I'm not completely unprepared."

Lin Yue thought for a while, then took out the wooden box that Wen Ning's mother had given him from his bosom.

He looked around at the empty shopping mall and called out his childhood name.

"Wen Ning, Ning Ning, it's been so long! Do you still remember me? Lin Yue."

"It's Yueyue, the older brother who lived across the street from you when you were little."

"We used to play together a lot back then."

"I also gave you this as a gift."

Lin Yue flipped the wooden box open with a "snap."

Inside was that cheap gold plastic ring.

"Look, this thing is still here."

"Do you remember what I said back then? I said that when we both grow up, you will marry me and become my wife. But that was all in the past, so we don't need to take it seriously. I'm just proving that we really know each other."

The sound bounced around in circles in the huge shopping mall, turning into an echo, as if someone was talking to me, which was very uncomfortable to listen to.

But Lin Yue just couldn't stop.

This is both a way to evoke fond memories of the past and a tactic to buy time.

He was planning to talk first to buy time.

In just ten minutes.

Then I would immediately rush out the door, without even looking back.

"Wen Ning, are you there? If you are, just come out."

However, the abandoned shopping mall did not respond to Lin Yue's anxious inquiries.

But I don't know why.

Lin Yue noticed that something seemed off about her surroundings.

It's as if... something has already changed, but he himself hasn't realized it.

The feeling was as if countless terrifying and ferocious eyes had sprung up nearby, all focused on him, causing a faint, needle-like pain to pierce every inch of his skin.

Just at this time.

In the shadows of a corner of the mall, the head of a damaged mannequin, facing his direction, suddenly and silently turned a tiny, stiff turn, defying the laws of physics.

That eerie moment was caught just out of the corner of his eye.

Lin Yue quickly turned her gaze over there.

But when his gaze turned in that direction...

The mannequin, however, seemed quite ordinary. It stood there blankly in the shadows, staring back at him with its lifeless, corpse-like pupils.

Looking into those eyes, Lin Yue felt a sudden flash of inspiration, and a bolt of lightning struck her mind.

He knew where the problem lay.

Those are the mannequin models!

Just when his attention was completely focused on communicating with Wen Ning.

The doll, which should have been looking in all directions, turned all its eyes in its field of vision.

That's what it means to be surrounded by eerie gazes.

Looking around, Lin Yue saw that the damaged dolls were all different. Some were missing arms, some were missing half of their heads, and some had large holes in their stomachs. They looked like corpses with different serious injuries. But their only similarity was that they were all staring at her with those lifeless, dead eyes.

I'm trapped by these damned dolls.

This is all Wen Ning's doing!

While speaking as calmly as possible, Lin Yue subtly moved her feet, gradually approaching the mall entrance.

"Wen Ning, I know you're watching, but since you don't want to come out, I can come another day. What do you think?"

Lin Yue was covered in sweat. She held the ring in the box in her right hand and reached into her pocket with her left hand to tightly grasp the spirit stone (200 RMB) inside.

This is the only thing that can give him a little bit of a sense of security now.

Time slowly passed on the system's light screen.

Lin Yue calculated, "Ten minutes are almost up, just a little longer..."

However, things didn't seem to be progressing as smoothly as he had imagined.

As Lin Yue nervously stared at the puppets in the darkness, feeling that she was about to reach the door, her heartstrings gradually tightened.

"Fortunately, apart from glancing at them a few times, these dolls didn't do anything strange."

Suddenly.

A pair of hard, cold hands emerged from the darkness, exuding an eerie aura, and suddenly pressed down on his shoulders.

"clatter--"

Lin Yue's body trembled instinctively.

He quickly turned his head and saw that two tall mannequins had silently reached behind him and placed their hands on his shoulders, as if to prevent him from leaving.

This really scared him.

The atmosphere grew increasingly heavy.

He gripped the spirit stone (200 RMB) in his pocket even tighter.

He thought to himself that he had prepared seriously for three days and still had quite a few cards to play.

Besides these, he also kept a rather powerful weapon, but... that weapon seems to have arrived a little late.

If Wen Ning truly lacks martial ethics, then I won't be polite to her either.

"Hehe, you're still so mischievous." Lin Yue said with a fake smile as she reached out to slap the mannequin's hand off her shoulder.

The instant his palm covered it.

A strange hand suddenly covered the back of his hand.

Although the hand was small, with slender and long fingers, the skin was very stiff and had no body temperature. It was as cold as a block of ice, with a bluish-white color like a corpse. The black blood vessels under the dermis were clearly visible, and the five fingernails were a blackish-red color from the oxidation of blood. The whole hand exuded a strong and terrifying aura that made people's hearts tremble.

He'd seen this hand several times already!

The doll's hand, Lin Yue's hand, and the dead man's hand were all intertwined at the same time.

The slippery, cold touch, like the shed skin of a venomous snake, stunned Lin Yue for a moment. Then, an indescribable fear surged from her heart, breaking through the blood-brain barrier and entering her brain.

boom--

He could even feel the hair follicles on his head tightening violently, causing each strand of hair to stand up.

Fuck!

It actually happened!
