this is not a joke

Chapter 522 Irreversible
According to the normal statement in the instructions, after the ten coffins in the lobby are filled with corpses at the same time, I need to blow out the oil lamps immediately, then close the door of the lobby, and leave the Yizhuang as soon as possible.

But the current situation is abnormal at all, and the eighth notice cannot be done at all, because the oil lamp will ignite by itself when it is blown out.

Now it seems that the corpses in the coffin showed signs of movement after the oil lamp was ignited twice.

Wei An didn't blow out the oil lamp for the third time, but went directly to the entrance of the lobby and closed the temporarily repaired door.

However, the moment the door was closed, he had already controlled the golden winged blade he had just obtained to fly out of the air, and stabbed at the oil lamp wick that was placed on the table.

After operating it, Wei An found that the flying blade really had an extremely fast reaction speed, and it was easier to control than a heavy halberd and axe.

With a swish, the wick was pierced by the flying blade, and the burning flame was immediately extinguished, and then Wei An retracted the flying blade just before the door closed.

Looking in through the crack of the door, Wei An also put "Liu Gui's eyeballs" into the eye sockets at the same time, and saw that the wick kept going out for a few seconds, and then a faint light appeared, but it didn't just appear at the position of the wick. Rather, a little above the wick.

At the moment when the faint light appeared, the wick was obviously ignited by it, flickered for a while, and soon the fire light lit up again.

Seeing this scene, Wei An's eyes were fixed, and he recalled the faint light that appeared above the wick that he saw just now. Although it appeared for a short time, because Wei An had been observing with "Liu Gui's eyeball" in advance, so To be able to see clearly.

That bit of light seemed familiar.

At this time, the oil lamps were lit for the third time, and the coffins on both sides of the lobby heard a strong movement again. There was a sound of thumping, and the lids of four coffins had been lifted.

A strong smell of corpses filled the lobby.

A hoarse sound that sounded extremely terrifying came from one of the coffins. It seemed that a person who hadn't spoken for a long time finally opened his lips, making a sound like a hacksaw rubbing against metal.

At this time, Wei An had already left the lobby door, walked through the passage, and walked quickly to his residence.

He didn't leave Yizhuang, because now the method according to the eighth notice is not feasible, and the oil lamp is not extinguished, so he can't leave the [-]-meter range of Yizhuang, otherwise the rules will come, and he will die just like the man just now.

After arriving at the residence, he grabbed the unfinished bundle of incense sticks on the table. This bundle of incense sticks was already a lot. Wei An had speculated before that even if he spent ten days here normally, he would have to go to the hut every day Changing incense over there, even after the strange talk ended, it was still impossible to burn so many incense sticks.

Take this bundle of incense in your hands, and quickly leave the residence, approaching the hut.

When he came to the burning stick stuck in the soil, he bent down and pulled out the unburned stick of stick. With five fingers, the remaining half of the stick broke and went out. Its hand turned into a mass of unburned incense ash and a broken wooden stick inside.

"Okay, it's time to interrupt the timer!"

Just now Wei An discovered the problem through "Liu Gui's eyeball". The oil lamp should have been extinguished, but it was re-ignited by that tiny ray of light.

This light looks very familiar, after a little thought, it is the incense stick that has been burning beside the hut and has never been broken!
Looking at the entire "Instructions for Left-behind Persons", it seems that all the rules seem to be narrated around the oil lamp, but in fact Wei'an found that the burning incense that has been burning uninterrupted is the protagonist instead.

However, in the "Instructions", it is not clear that the participants must wait for the incense to not be cut off, but to allow the participants to time the time themselves, with the purpose of watching the night on time during the "third watch" and "fifth watch".

This rule forces the participants to time the time, which in turn forces them to keep the incense sticks burning.

And this is the center of the whole rule.

This rule center does not seem to exist, but in fact it has been consciously maintained by the participants all the time. On the contrary, it is better maintained unconsciously than the oil lamp that cannot be extinguished, and even they are not aware of it.

If Wei An hadn't seen the faint glow of incense sticks when the oil lamp was relit, he wouldn't have thought of it.

It's like a disappearing blind spot that everyone knows about but doesn't care about because it's already safe in everyone's blind spot awareness.

Of course, even though the place was destroyed and the burning of the incense sticks was interrupted, Wei An was still not at ease, because he still had such a large bundle of incense in his hand, and these incense might be lit again through some unknown means.

He immediately grabbed the bundle of incense and crushed it into crumbs, before rushing to the lobby.

Hiding the rules within the rules, the brilliance of this special rule-like strange talk is fully revealed at this moment.

The incense sticks are the center of the rules. If the burning incense sticks are extinguished, there is no guarantee that they will not be re-lit and start timing when the next participant arrives, so they must all be destroyed.

Neither let it be rekindled, nor give it a chance to light the oil lamp again.

Arriving at the entrance of the lobby, just as he pushed the door open, a strong cloudy air rushed towards his face, making Wei An feel suffocated, and even stopped breathing for a moment.

Looking up, the kerosene lamp is still burning. After losing the support of the incense stick, the wick flame has completely turned green, just like the flame produced by the workbook paper that was burned just now.

At the coffins on the left and right sides, the lids of four coffins have been opened, and four corpses are standing upright beside the coffins.

These corpses were three men and one woman, all in ragged clothes, unkempt, with dirt on their cheeks, like refugees who died somewhere.

The moment the lobby was opened, the four corpses slowly raised their heads, their eyes were dark, like an endless abyss, and their cold and cold eyes cast on Wei An.

At the same time, the coffin boards of the other six coffins seemed to be unable to hold on any longer, and they began to shake one after another. Among them, the innermost coffin let out a shrill scream, which hurt Wei An's eardrums.

A gust of wind was generated in the middle of the lobby, and the dust on the ground swirled, rose up, and exploded violently.

But the green light of the burning oil lamp on the wooden table remained motionless.

Standing at the door, Wei An suddenly realized: "So, taking sixteen coffin nails at a time will trigger the eighth notice, and the oil lamp will not go out, and it is irreversible."

Hua Luo looked down at the bundle of incense sticks in his hand, and said quietly: "But...you don't have a rule that you can't cut off the burning incense sticks."

clap la la...

The other six coffins were all opened at this moment, and hands that were either rotten or extremely black stretched out.

And Wei'an stepped into the lobby, and the halberd and ax appeared in his hand. At the same time, the golden winged flying blade was suspended by his side, shaking slightly and making a tremor.
