midnight ten

23:35, 25 minutes left before the checkpoint opens.

Kongming Lantern has 160 people, and now there are only [-] left. Regardless of whether they are still answering questions or not, Nange is surrounded by three floors inside and outside, just like Baumkuchen.From Nange in the center of the circle to the members of the Kongming Lantern team on the outermost layer, it is basically Nange's stationery tree [Mandela's scream], which can cover the limit now - the previous scream, in order to deter the two kalpas Bandits and other ready to move, she expended a lot of energy.

Zhou Yunhui stood at the outermost edge of the "annual ring", gave his subordinates comforting eyes, and then signaled to Nan Ge.

Take a deep breath and enter the scream queen.

The time limit for Sphinx's question has been shortened to 40 seconds.

Nan Ge's scream lasted for 10 seconds, and the lethality was controlled to a certain extent, so that it wouldn't really make people nervous, but it was absolutely impossible to concentrate.

When the time is up, the screaming stops, and the whole Kongming Lantern is gloomy.

Zhou Yunhui cast his questioning eyes on a backbone, who shook his head.

Sphinx, still going on.

Tang Lin was not surprised.He started with the four major forces, not because they were more likely to hide black hands, but because they were numerous and highly organized.

"All the Kongming Lanterns stand still and don't move, and the answering volume is lowered, as long as you can hear it—" several backbones loudly arranged the team leader's request.

There were more than 100 people, but they really didn’t move. They kept the baumkuchen formation, and it was still a quiet baumkuchen. Listen carefully, and you can hear a little whisper.

23:39, 21 minutes left before the checkpoint opens.

There are nearly 150 people in the Iron Blood Camp, and they form a rectangular annual ring around Nange, with edges and corners, neat and tidy, and their mental outlook is quite different from the lazy Kongming lanterns.

But after 10 seconds of screaming hell, their eyes showed the same exhaustion as Kongming Lantern.

At 23:42, with 18 minutes left before the checkpoint opened, the homecoming mission’s screaming tour ended.

At 23:44, there are 16 minutes left before the checkpoint opens, and Shishe ends.

At 23:45, just when Zhou Yunhui, He Lu, and Dai Xiaoliang wanted to join forces to find strawberry donuts, the deadly question and answer of the Sphinx came to an abrupt end.

"Really stopped?" Zhou Yunhui confirmed again.

Cui Zhan has the right to speak: "How about you come to my heart and listen?"

Zhou Yunhui chuckled at him.

Nan Ge asked Tang Lin in a low voice, "Shishe or donuts?"

Since the screaming really worked, it meant it was still stationery, and the manipulator, of course, was in Jusha, who had just experienced the scream, or in the donut, who was afraid of being tested by the scream.

Tang Lin shook his head and said, "Maybe neither of them."

Nan Ge was about to drink water to moisten his throat, when he heard this, he was taken aback: "Neither of them?"

"Look over there," Tang Lin looked up, "It wasn't your scream that really frightened it, but this scene."

Nan Ge followed his gaze and looked around the entire square, her heart trembling.

Previously, she was only focused on screaming, but she didn't realize that the square had quieted down at some point, and many places had become divided into camps.Whether it is an organization with a large number of people or a team with a small number of people, start to learn from the four major forces one after another, hold together by yourself and stand still.

If the Sphinx's attack didn't disappear, Nan Ge had no doubt that they would take the initiative to invite the screaming test.

There were only 1000 people, and the four major forces had already accounted for more than half of them. Those who had heard the screams all stood still, and the rest were screened again. Unless the perpetrator could become invisible, he would be screened to where he was sooner or later.

The sooner he gives up, the easier it is for him to hide.

So it's not Ten Club, and it may not be donuts... Nan Ge looked at the remaining passers-by, and the Sphinx was among them.

"Thank you." He Lu stretched out his hand to Tang Lin.

Tang Rin didn't hold her hand: "For helping each other, I can't say thank you." He turned sideways and let Nan Ge out, "If you really want to thank, thank her."

Nan Ge shook He Lu's hand, and he deserved it: "You're welcome."

She is lonely, has no partners or friends, and saving people is indeed doing good deeds every day.

Dai Xiaoliang was standing next to He Lu, who had already thanked the four major forces, so he could only say something truthful: "There are a lot of places to pass the checkpoint. We are very grateful to you, but there is no way to let them in."

Tang Lin shrugged.

Nan Ge brushed her hair.

"No, we'll grab it ourselves."

"No, my mother will come by herself."

As soon as the words came out, the two looked at each other.

The corner of Tang Lin's mouth curved up: "I wish you success."

Nan Ge blinked her eyes, and said with all kinds of flair, "Good luck."

Tang Lin returned to the abandoned house, Nan Ge returned to the installation, Dai Xiaoliang returned to the Homecoming Mission, and He Lu reorganized the formation of the Iron Blood camp.

Zhou Yunhui and Cui Zhan did not move, watching Tang Lin and Nan Ge pass through the crowd and return to the outside.

"Why do they still go out?" Zhou Yunhui didn't understand, why not take a close seat on the spot?

"That guy has teammates." Cui Zhan yawned lazily.

"The beauties are alone." Zhou Yunhui raised his eyes to look at Nan Ge again, but unfortunately they were all blocked by the people in the square.

Cui Zhan glanced at him: "Your look may be the reason why she has to leave."

Zhou Yunhui: "...When you go through the barrier, you'd better pray that you don't meet me."

Cui Zhan was happy, and raised his eyebrows frivolously: "You say so, I look forward to it even more."

Tang Lin saw the still tall figures of Fan Peiyang and Zheng Luozhu from a distance, and his heart finally fell back.

When he got to the bottom of the abandoned house, Fan Peiyang stretched out his hand from above.

Tang Lin held it naturally, kicked off, and with Fan Peiyang's pulling force, he went up to the roof lightly.

"You can't hear the problem, so there's no need to take risks." Fan Peiyang said seriously, with a hint of reproach in his tone.

"Well, then you two were killed in battle, and I'll break through by myself." Tang Lin was glad that the Sphinx didn't cause too much damage to Fan Peiyang, so he didn't feel pressured when he taunted.

Compared to Fan Peiyang, Zheng Luozhu was much more embarrassed, sweated a lot, and his breathing was a little unsteady.

"Bamboo." Tang Lin called out worriedly.

Zheng Luozhu waved his hands and smiled indifferently: "It's nothing, it's all fucking sesame seeds and rotten millet, it's too much a test of my memory."

Tang Lin hesitated to speak, but in the end he didn't ask anything.

Zheng Luozhu wanted to say a few more lively words, but the expression on his face suddenly froze, his eyes widened, and he stared at the square.

Tang Lin turned around and was also stunned.

The corpses of those who died because of the Sphinx in the square were floating up one by one, and their bodies were shrouded in purple light.

They lay flat in the purple halo, floating higher and higher, and finally passed through the ceiling of the dungeon without a sound and disappeared.

This scene is so weird that it makes one's scalp tingle.

But it was a different scene in the square.

Headed by the four major forces, countless passers-by stood still. They raised their heads and paid attention to the corpses floating away. The atmosphere was quiet and solemn, as if they were escorting their partners for the last journey.

In the eyes of those survivors, there was heaviness, grief, anger, and unwillingness, but there was no surprise or astonishment, as if they had seen such a death destination too many times.

"Could it be that all dead people are like this..." Tang Lin whispered softly.

Other than that, he couldn't think of any other explanation.Moreover, in the past few days in the dungeon, he had never seen a place where corpses were disposed of or piled up, which was strange for an environment where people could die at any time.

Zheng Luozhu took his eyes off the floating corpses with great difficulty, but still felt a chill down his spine: "But Ge Shaping and Li Zhan didn't float away in the elevator."

Fan Peiyang corrected him: "To be precise, we didn't see the body floating away until the elevator doors closed."

As for whether the corpse floated away after the elevator door was closed, no one could tell.

Zheng Luozhu swallowed hard: "Then... these people... are they dead or not..."

Fan Peiyang was silent.

Tang Lin didn't know either.

Judging by normal cognition, those corpses must be completely dead, but in this world of breaking through levels, the most unreliable thing is normal cognition.

The last corpse disappeared on the ceiling, and melodious and soothing music suddenly sounded in the square, followed by a mechanical sound. Against the background of the melodious notes, it seemed not so cold——

[There is 1 minute left before the checkpoint opens, and the countdown begins. 59, 58, 57...]

Tang Lin, Fan Peiyang, and Zheng Luozhu were all tensed up. They were so distracted by the floating corpse that they neglected the time.

The ground of the square fluctuated without warning, not violently, but it was obvious that the gravel ground seemed to have become a pond, with light waves rising with the breeze.

The abandoned house also became unsteady amidst the fluctuations, and the three of them slid down to the ground.

Zheng Luozhu stepped on the undulating gravel ground and asked hurriedly: "Is this a normal phenomenon of countdown, or is someone using stationery again?"

Tang Lin said: "I just know that if we don't rush, we really won't be able to catch up."

The square has long been in chaos, the people on the periphery are squeezing in like a tide, and those who break through the gate are surrounded by layers, waiting in full force.

All the focus was on the center of the square, and no one noticed. A figure quietly slipped away from the periphery and disappeared into the empty dark alley.

"Tsk, it's finally quiet, it's too noisy over there." In the depths of the dark alley, shadows enveloped everything, no one was seen, only voices.

The voice was clear and mellow, with obvious dislike and hidden excitement.

"Are you going to break through the gate again?" A second voice rang out from the shadows. It was quiet and cool, and had some empty echoes, as if it came from another place.

"Let me screen for you first," the clear and mellow voice suddenly lowered, mysteriously, "Let me tell you, there is a very interesting guy this time."

In a quiet and cool voice, without any ups and downs: "Every time you say it's interesting, you end up bored to death."

The subway is speeding through the endless tunnel, one window after another, forming a bright light in the darkness.

All the windows are empty, except for the first carriage.

A man sat there sideways, with one leg bent, looking straight ahead.

The real-time communication image was projected in mid-air, and the person on the other end was looking somewhere, it was so dark that he couldn't even see his face clearly.

"It's time, let's stop talking."

The man ended the communication unilaterally, and the image disappeared.

The speed of the subway seems to be faster.

The man looks out the window.

The lights in the carriage outlined his perfect and powerful body streamlines, and the contours of his chiseled face, which was a kind of classical handsome, serene and solemn.

The author has something to say: Why are there girls in the dungeon, what is the identity of the sphinx master, who is the classical handsome guy who booked the subway car, let's take it easy, hehe~~
