Chapter 550: Puzzle in the Darkness

Wu Xian immediately retreated to take a closer look.

He compared the row of footprints with his own.

"Sure enough, it's not mine. This footprint is much larger, the height should be about two meters, and the footprints are merged in pairs. It doesn't look like it walked over, but more like it jumped over with its legs together..."

Wu Xian licked his lips.

"That is to say, something taller than me just now followed me using the standing long jump method, but I didn't hear any sound!"

Wu Xian was very confident before entering the sports warehouse, but now he was a bit guilty.

This thing following Wu Xian was a big threat, but Wu Xian couldn't find it for the time being. He decided to put the ten balls back first, and then consider catching the mouse.

So Wu Xian quickened his pace and walked quickly to the depths of the sports warehouse.

Walking to the inside of the warehouse, Wu Xian saw a shocking scene.

I saw that one side of the warehouse, the floor, walls, and ceiling were covered with human corpses.

These corpses were all wearing the training center's sportswear, and each body had different degrees of breakage. They should all be students who had died in the physical education class. These men and women all had their eyes open, and their gazes were all on Wu Xian, making Wu Xian feel great pressure.

Soon, Wu Xian found the rack for the ten balls.

In the center of the flesh wall, there were ten headless corpses; these corpses should be the racks for the ten balls.

Wu Xian swallowed, held the candle in one hand, grabbed the corpse's hair with the other, endured the strong discomfort, and stepped into this flesh wall.

Whoosh! Suddenly, on the side of the wall, a human head suddenly blew a breath, blowing out the candle in Wu Xian's hand.

Wu Xian cursed in a low voice and struck a match, wanting to relight the candle.

Sss, sss...

Sparks flickered in the darkness, and the flame of hope had just ignited when it was blown out again by an unknown evil wind.

It seemed he couldn't bring the lit candle into the range of this flesh wall.

If Wu Xian was the only one in the warehouse, he could have lit the candle and put it outside. As long as there was a faint light, it would be enough for Wu Xian to return the heads to their owners.

But there wasn't only Wu Xian in the warehouse, so the candle had to be held in his hand, otherwise it would be terrible if it were stolen by other things.

So Wu Xian shook his head, took out all the heads, and placed them on the ground one by one.

He found the heads corresponding to seven of the corpses based on their gender, age, and fatness.

But three female corpses could not be distinguished from their appearance.

Wu Xian blew out the candle himself, put the candle into his bag, picked up the four people whose positions had been confirmed, and after doing some psychological construction, stepped into the soft flesh floor.

The flesh on the ground was pieced together from fallen fragments of meat. It was just disgusting to step on, but it wouldn't make Wu Xian feel too uncomfortable.

But the corpses on the wall were different. Once you touched them, you knew what part of the corpse you had touched.

He faced the darkness, went back and forth twice, and returned all four heads to their positions.

But the remaining three were difficult.

Wu Xian could only grope in the darkness, using his palms to probe the contours of the corpses, the touch of the skin, and the traces at the broken parts, as if playing some kind of high-difficulty puzzle.

He hesitated many times before placing the three heads properly.

This experience was simply indescribable. The smell here was extremely unpleasant, and every head could talk. People with slightly poorer psychological quality might vomit in just a few seconds...

But fortunately, Wu Xian survived. He let out a long sigh of relief, walked out of the range of the flesh wall, and relit the candle to see if the heads were pieced together correctly.

At the moment the candlelight lit up, Wu Xian saw a terrifying face covered with wounds, and eyes like cow bells were staring straight at him.

Wu Xian was startled and subconsciously pulled out his bayonet.

The man waved his hand hurriedly: "Don't be afraid, it's me!"

Wu Xian looked closely and realized that this person was the physical education teacher Guo Xiaodong.

Guo Xiaodong smiled and said: "I saw you hadn't come out for a long time, and I was worried that something would happen to you inside, so I came over to take a look."

Wu Xian bowed slightly with his hands behind his back.

"Thank you for your concern, teacher."

Guo Xiaodong continued to ask: "By the way, did you find the mouse?"

Wu Xian pondered, his hands seemed to be fiddling with something behind his back, and only after a while did he pull his hands from behind.

"Of course I found it, it's right in front of me!"

This person in front of him was the mouse that the physical education teacher Guo Xiaodong mentioned!

At a glance, at a glance, "No, one wrong version!"

After Wu Xian finished speaking, he pushed his hands forward, and the Blood-Soaked Old Wolf-Tooth Staff appeared out of thin air, stabbing fiercely at the strong man in front.

But this Guo Xiaodong jumped backward, dodged the attack of the staff, and looked at Wu Xian coldly from a distance.

This Guo Xiaodong could hardly see any flaws from his appearance.

But except for his appearance, everything was a flaw.

The real Guo Xiaodong would never be so easygoing when talking, and he had already stated that he wouldn't enter the warehouse. Most importantly, this fake Guo Xiaodong kept his legs clamped together when talking! In fact, as early as when Wu Xian discovered those footprints, he knew that the mouse might be the fake Guo Xiaodong.

Because those footprints were very large, and in the training center, the only people with such large footprints were Guo Xiaodong and Su Mi. Coupled with the fact that Wu Xian had already seen the existence of another fake Guo Xiaodong, he already had a clue after seeing those footprints.

But next, Wu Xian had to consider how to deal with this fake Guo Xiaodong.

The fake Guo Xiaodong stopped after jumping in place a few times, a strange smile with some kind of expectation appearing on his face.

"Let's have a contest, let's compare standing long jump!"

"That fake one should have said that you should take me out. If you can catch me while keeping your legs together, I will go out with you!"

Wu Xian snorted coldly, not intending to cooperate with the fake Guo Xiaodong, but instead assumed the 【Aggressive as Fire】 power-up posture and rushed over at an extremely fast speed.

But the fake Guo Xiaodong was faster. His legs seemed to be equipped with springs, jumping quickly in a very ghostly posture. Even the speed of Aggressive as Fire couldn't catch him.

After several pursuits like this, the faster Wu Xian was, the faster the fake Guo Xiaodong was.

So Wu Xian had to stop helplessly and tried to jump one step toward the fake Guo Xiaodong, only to find that this time the fake Guo Xiaodong didn't escape at a speed beyond common sense.

Perhaps this was the fake Guo Xiaodong's ability. If someone ran to catch him, his speed would become extremely fast. Only by jumping to catch him would his speed become relatively normal.

So Wu Xian could only hold the candle and jump toward the fake Guo Xiaodong cautiously. In order not to let the candle go out, every time he jumped, the distance was very close.

In the dark warehouse, two figures jumped and chased, the flame flickered, making it appear very eerie.

Suddenly.

Wu Xian's eyes flashed, and he directly activated the Magic Power - Magic is One Foot Higher! Whoosh! Wu Xian suddenly appeared one meter above the fake Guo Xiaodong's head, then fell freely, straddled his shoulders with his legs, held the bayonet with both hands, and stabbed into the fake Guo Xiaodong's head.

"Ghost - True Fire Incantation!"

Whoosh! Flames burst out from the bayonet! (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 551 =====
