Chapter 222: Inversion

Flying over the high wall, Ning Zhe came outside the prison, looked around, and stopped under a tree.

Taking advantage of the fact that the ghost hadn't chased after him yet, Ning Zhe took out a dagger from his pocket and dug quickly under the tree, soon digging out a pit the size of a basketball.

After digging the pit, Ning Zhe took out the shoulder badge he had stripped from the prison guard from his pocket and placed it at the bottom of the pit. After filling it with mud, he covered it with a police cap.

"Still need a monument..." Ning Zhe looked around.

There is no shortage of wood in the forest, but there is definitely not enough time to cut a wooden board on the spot. But who cares, if there are dates or not, hit three poles. Ning Zhe plucked a relatively straight branch from the tree, cut off the excess branches and leaves with a dagger, inserted it into the ground, and hung the work badge with the prison guard's ID photo on it.

Calculating the time, the ghost is about to chase after him.

"Slip."

Ning Zhe jumped up, turned into a light flying bird, and disappeared into the forest, leaving behind a cenotaph.

Ning Zhe still remembered the boundless land he saw when he flew into the high altitude, which looked boundless and endless, but in fact, what made up this boundless world was only this Chenyu Valley.

Copying and pasting the same mountain valley, countless identical puzzles connected together, forming this boundless strange world.

This world structure is somewhat similar to scene reuse in games. When the game character moves to the west end of the map, he will be automatically and seamlessly teleported to the easternmost starting point of the map, walking the road he has already walked again without knowing it, creating the illusion that this map seems very large, but in fact, from the beginning, he has been circling in this small piece of land.

"This strange world is composed of countless copied and pasted puzzles. No matter where I escape, I cannot escape the scope of this Chenyu Valley." Ning Zhe glided in the sky, thinking about the countermeasures.

"But fortunately, the size of a single puzzle is not narrow. There is the entire Chenyu Valley space for me to hide and maneuver, slowly figuring out Fenwu's rules..."

Not long after this thought arose, Ning Zhe's mood, which had relaxed a little, tightened again.

A piece of gray-white reinforced concrete building appeared in front of him again. If it's not a prison, what is it?

"I only flew out a few hundred meters, and I didn't leave the scope of Chenyu Valley at all..."

Instantly understanding the key, Ning Zhe's expression became solemn: "The world is shrinking."

The "puzzles" that make up this strange world are shrinking. Before, it was the entire Chenyu Valley, but now it has become a small area centered on the prison.

And it is still shrinking. The invisible dome covering the prison is constantly shrinking, wanting to trap him, the turtle in the urn, to death.

This is Fenwu's targeted strategy to check and balance the high mobility brought by Taiyi's "change" rules.

"Okay, ruthless enough." Ning Zhe dispersed his wings and landed on the windowsill of the second floor of a concrete building.

This building is the canteen and water room of Chenyu Valley Prison, not far from the cell where the prisoners sleep. Ning Zhe stood by the window, took out a telescope that hadn't even been unpacked from his bag, and observed the prison under the night sky through the lens from afar.

The prison at night is quiet. Perhaps because the prison guards were all solved by Fenwu, the searchlights that would turn all night were turned off, and only a few street lights at the intersections were still on. Apart from that, it was pitch black.

Fortunately, it didn't rain tonight, the sky was clear and cloudless, and the visibility was okay.

The prison building stood in the lens, and there was silence in the lens, a dead silence.

Ning Zhe moved the lens to the lower left, and saw several prison guards and medical staff lying at the entrance of the cell. The stretcher he had flipped over was still lying in place, and no one had moved it. Looking at the steps, the corpse that was originally standing there had disappeared, and he didn't know where it had wandered, leaving only a circle of hemp rope at the door, bloody.

"Wait, hemp rope?"

Ning Zhe looked closely, and it was indeed the hemp rope that was tied to Old Li's legs before: "Fenwu untied the rope for Old Li? He is not afraid of the ghost possessing the corpse? Or is the killing rule of this ghost actually unrelated to close contact, even if it is close, it will not be triggered?"

The world is shrinking, and he shouldn't waste precious time on such unsolvable problems.

Ning Zhe moved the lens away from the cell door and looked at the non-powered wind ball rotating on the roof of the opposite building. This is equipment used for indoor ventilation and air exchange, generally used in factory buildings or warehouses.

Further down is the factory building and basketball court where prisoners work, as well as the prison guard lounge on the other side of the basketball court. Ning Zhe still remembers the "woo woo" crying he heard in the bathroom of the lounge. The man's voice was low, and it still sounds creepy now.

In the dark, an intuition told Ning Zhe that he should go there and take a look.

Finding the prison guard who was crying in the bathroom might solve the ghost's killing rules.

Should he go? Go back to the lounge?

But the hemp rope tied to the corpse has been untied, and the ghost has lost its restraint. Now, risking danger to go back to the lounge, if he encounters that tireless monster again, can he still escape luckily?

The lens stayed on the basketball court, and Ning Zhe hesitated.

The next moment, a slowly moving black shadow attracted his attention. Ning Zhe quickly moved the lens over, only to see a black human-shaped thing clinging to the gray-white outer wall of the prison building, like a gecko stuck to the wall, with its limbs spread out like a spider.

That is a person, a person covered in blood, whose clothes were worn out by the corners of the cement eaves, revealing the bloody skin and flesh underneath. Bloody fingers climbed on the outer wall of the building without knowing the pain, crawling slowly like a spider, from the third floor to the second floor, and from the second floor to the roof.

Adjusting the focal length of the telescope, Ning Zhe saw clearly the strange human spider crawling like a spider. It was Old Li possessed by the ghost.

He in the lens was not crawling facing the wall, but with his back to the wall, his hands and feet folded behind him in a non-human posture, his hands clutching the rough edge, hanging his bloody body on it, the excessive force making his fingernails turn over, revealing the bright red flesh underneath.

The lens moved slowly. Ning Zhe watched the ghost crawl slowly from the roof to the ventilation duct on the second floor. It was a small opening with a diameter of less than 35 centimeters, and only children who had not fully developed could pass through.

But under Ning Zhe's gaze, this bloody human spider forcibly broke its shoulder blades and drilled through the ventilation duct without any obstruction, leaving only dried blood branded on the wall.

"This..."

Ning Zhe put down the telescope, suddenly felt something, and took out another prison guard's work badge from his pocket.

This prison guard is named Cao Huabin. The work badge has his name, ID photo, and the position he holds. Because of the emergency before, Ning Zhe just took it in a hurry and didn't observe it much.

But after seeing the strange human spider, and then looking at this work badge with purpose, Ning Zhe immediately discovered its strangeness:

"The direction of the bangs... is reversed."

This work badge was taken by Ning Zhe when he checked the corpse before. His memory is very good. He clearly remembers the appearance of this prison guard named Cao Huabin, and the bangs he combed to the left.

But on the ID photo on the work badge, his bangs were combed to the right.
