Global Collapse

Chapter 682 Why Read Supernatural Novels in Broad Daylight?

Upon hearing this, Su Lian looked ahead and said, "I remember the Polaroid camera was taken by Tonight White. They took the road ahead."

“Yes.” Lemon Doesn’t Sour nodded. “I’ve thought about it carefully, and finding a way out is the safest solution. Even if we split up and run away, we’ll still be caught and killed by the ghost.”

“Didn’t you say before that the path to survival had been missed?” Su Lian looked at her.

Lemon Doesn't Sour frowned: "Actually, that's just a hypothetical way out. Judging from all the signs from the beginning, the ghost will crawl out of the photo. In that case, destroying the group photo is the most reasonable way out."

“But during the time we were separated, I kept thinking, can ghosts really crawl out of photos? Are their actions in the photos deceiving us, tricking us into destroying the photos?”

At this point, she frowned and said, "Thinking about it now, perhaps destroying the group photo was a dead end."

Fortunately, Wen Qin was quick-witted and threw the photo away.

However, they also destroyed the other photos. Lemon didn't think much of it; there were no ghosts in those photos, so destroying them shouldn't have too bad an impact.

Of course this was just her guess.

Now they have no evidence, so they have no way of proving whether it's a way out or a way to die.

"Do you have any ideas about how to survive?" Su Lian asked.

Lemon Not Sour nodded hesitantly: "Ghosts are invisible, but they can appear in photos. They were always in the photos to begin with. I was thinking if we took a Polaroid photo of the ghost after we encountered it, could we lock it back into the photo?"

If she had taken a few more steps forward and reached the intersection ahead, she would have given up on the idea.

Because Tonight White, who had just put this idea into practice, had become a corpse, lying on another road connected to the intersection, which could be seen with just a turn of the head.

Lemon didn't know that Tonight White was lying not far away. She frowned worriedly: "But Polaroid is with Wen Qin and Tan Jiu. It will probably be difficult to find them."

She sighed as she spoke, then looked up at her surroundings: "I wanted to try using other cameras to see if I could capture the ghost in the photos, but I walked all the way without finding a mobile phone shop or camera shop, and I didn't encounter any pedestrians either."

It's really hard to find pedestrians on the street in the middle of the night.

There were a few cars passing by, but even if you're not sour, you can't just jump onto a car and snatch someone's phone.

Su Lian thought for a few seconds: "As for cameras, other players might have them, right? There are many types of special items, so maybe some players have cameras."

“Wen Qin Tan Jiu and Jin Ye Bai don’t have that special item, and the others might not have it either.” Lemon Not Sour looked at the intersection ahead. “Besides, it’ll be hard to find them; we don’t know how far they’ve already gone…”

To be honest, encountering Su Lian here was completely unexpected for her.

"Let's go take a look ahead." Lemon Not Sour lifted her foot and walked forward. "I think there are more shops on those two streets over there. Maybe we can find a mobile phone shop or something."

"Do you want to come with me?" She turned to look at Su Lian.

The lemon isn't sour, it seems this lone wolf player doesn't like interacting with people.

If I hadn't looked back, Su Lian might have let me run away.

Su Lian remained silent for a few seconds, then followed.

Seeing that the other person was following, Lemon Not Sour turned around and continued walking forward.

"I hope taking pictures of ghosts is a way out," she said as she walked. "If that's not a way out either, then I really can't think of any other possibility."

Su Lian didn't say anything, and silently followed behind her.

But soon, the hope that the lemon wouldn't be sour was dashed.

By this time, the two had reached the crossroads where they would part ways, and they saw people crawling on another road.

"What is that?" Lemon didn't feel sour and took a few steps back warily.

It was still dark, and the streets were pitch black. All they could see was a human-shaped figure lying on the road.

"It seems to be a dead person." Su Lian took a few steps forward and adjusted her slightly slipped glasses back onto her nose. "The clothes look familiar."

Lemon Not Sour stared at the blurry figure and muttered, "It does look familiar... Wait, isn't that Tonight White!"

"It seems so." Su Lian took a few more steps forward.

Lemon Not Sour stared blankly at the person lying not far away.

Is Tonight White... dead?
She had already watched Yu Ji die before her eyes, and now she saw Jin Yebai's corpse.

Doesn't this mean that their group of four is now reduced to just Wen Qin Tan Jiu and herself?
The four of them entered the dungeon together, and now two are dead, and the fate of the third is unknown. She's experienced this kind of thing many times before, but she still can't get used to it.

The lemon wasn't sour, but a wave of indescribable loneliness and despair washed over me.

She suddenly felt a pang of envy for Su Lian, who was all alone, envying that she didn't have to watch her friends die one by one.

At this moment, Su Lian lifted her foot, thinking of going to Bai's side tonight to take a look.

Lemon, though not sour, grabbed her arm: "Don't go over there, the ghost might still be nearby..."

Su Lian looked at something next to Jin Ye Bai's corpse and pointed to it: "The Polaroid camera is over there."

If the lemon isn't sour, immediately turn your head to look.

Tonight, I noticed that there did seem to be something hanging around Bai's neck, which looked like a Polaroid camera.

"There seems to be another bowl over there." Su Lian had good eyesight and immediately spotted an upside-down bowl on the ground in the corner.

Lemon Not Sour also looked at the bowl: "I know, that's a special item from Wen Qintan Wine. There's rice in the bowl, which can attract ghosts to eat."

"So when Jin Ye Bai died, Wen Qin Tan Jiu was right next to him, but there was no body of his nearby. He ran away." Su Lian looked at the Polaroid camera next to Jin Ye Bai's body. "He was with Jin Ye Bai at the time. After killing Jin Ye Bai, the ghost should have immediately chased after him. There's no reason for him to stay in the same place."

“The ghost is most likely no longer here.” Su Lian looked at Lemon Not Sour. “I’m going to go check it out. If you don’t want to go, you can stay here.”

Lemon, though not sour, eventually followed suit.

The two arrived near the body of Tonight White.

As they got closer, they realized that Bai's death tonight was horrific.

His neck was twisted 180 degrees, his eyes were wide open staring straight ahead, his eyeballs almost popping out.

Lemon, not feeling sour, nervously reached for the Polaroid camera hanging around his neck, then carefully removed the string from his neck.

She didn't hang the Polaroid camera around her neck; instead, she looked down at the number of photos on the back.

"Three left?" she asked, somewhat puzzled. "Did they take one picture?"

The previous number of photographic sheets was four.

At this moment, Su Lian had found the photo that Bai had taken tonight. She was standing in front of the photo, looking down at it: "Here it is."

Even though the lemon wasn't sour, it came over and looked down.

The photo was completely black and very blurry.

Su Lian looked closely and pointed to a white object in the middle of the photo: "This photo was taken of this place, and this white dot should be the bowl."

Lemon Not Sour compared the white spots in the photo with the bowls on the roadside and found that they were indeed quite similar.

Su Lian glanced at the empty bowl by the roadside: "It seems that Wen Qin and Tan Jiu have similar ideas to yours."

Lemon wasn't sour, just staring blankly at the empty bowl.

"They also thought that taking pictures of ghosts might be a way out. So when they encountered the ghost, Wen Qin offered this opportunity, buying Jin Ye Bai time to take the picture, allowing him to successfully photograph the ghost." Su Lian looked at the small white dot in the photo, "But Jin Ye Bai died immediately after taking the picture. This shows that taking pictures cannot control ghosts."

died……

The lemon isn't sour; I slightly close my eyes.

Why is this happening?

Does taking a picture of a ghost not seal it away?
Isn’t this a way to survive?

"Let's leave here first." Su Lian tugged at the stunned person next to her. "This location is too conspicuous. Let's find a more secluded place to study this Polaroid camera and the photo."

Lemon Not Sour came to her senses and asked, "Are you going to take this photo with you?"

"Hmm. I have an idea; our way out might be related to these photos." Su Lian nodded, picked up the photos from the ground, and put them in her pocket.

Why are you reading supernatural novels in broad daylight? Yes, I'm talking about you!
