Ye Man felt that this world had given her another strong hint—the countdown to escape, and there might be a third key word hidden.

On the one hand, the countdown comes from the withering of roses, and on the other hand, it comes from the clock—the night is constantly lengthening, and the day is constantly shortening, which means that the shadow world of the city of the dead is constantly eroding the world of the living.

But this phenomenon is not uncommon in reality, such as the summer solstice and winter solstice, so all this should be caused by the earth's revolution and the movement of the morning and evening lines.

Facing the receiver, Ye Man uttered the third key word she guessed: "Dawn Line."

There was also a response from the other side: "The technological keyword "morning and evening line" was successfully matched. After that, a clue will be randomly unlocked for you. The progress is not over half, and all three entries have been unlocked. Whether to unlock the difficult mode "Winter Time Joke" with richer rewards ?”

Ye Man thought for a moment and answered "Yes".

""Winter Time Joke" has been opened. A clue will be randomly unlocked below to play the secret voice diary of Schneider's son for the player."

Another voice that changed into a monster sounded from the receiver. At first, it was bright: "Mom made me new clothes today! It's so beautiful!"

"I'm sick, I'm so ugly when I turn black."

"Seeing my mother again! I'm so happy. Oh, the world is so strange. How can there be six suns!"

"The neighbor's bread uncle gives me delicious bread every time and asks me to play with him. But why does he do strange things every time?"

"Uncle Hammerhead is fierce, and Uncle Leather Shoes is very cold, but they never treat me like this...Only Uncle Bread..."

"Uncle Bread is a bad guy! But Uncle Bread is the captain of the adults. I want to find a place where there is no Uncle Bread to hide!" Even the voice of the monster could clearly be heard crying.

Ye Man was silent.

She looked at the slowly rising and falling young silhouette in the shadow of the bookshelf. This small figure seemed to be sleeping.

Ye Man couldn't help clenching his fists.

She had to do something other than help him find his mother and ask her for help.

……

When the six-sun day came, Little Shadow woke up yawning and sleeping soundly.

He came to this strange world after being ill.

It's very hot here at night.Father Moon will dry people up.

The extensions of the buildings and objects here are all in the shape of cool jelly.

People and animals alike must rely on their jelly-like surfaces to cool off on moonlit nights.

But be careful, you can't get too close, once you fully enter the jelly body, you will be trapped in the object forever.

The large pieces of jelly are also terrible. They are like a swamp, and they are trapped. Unless others are willing to pull you, they will keep sinking until they become part of the jelly.

No one can come out from the people or rats that go in.

Speaking of which, Otto, although I don't know who he is, but his house is really nice, with a lot of jelly, and he doesn't have to sleep with mice at night.

Except around his house, there are large pieces of jelly. Others are afraid of large pieces of jelly, so they can't find him.

There is only him here, and... Sister Transparent.

Where is yesterday's transparent sister?Why don't you see her here?

The transparent sister's body is also like jelly. He poked it with his finger yesterday, and it was also cool.

This is what adults call werewolves.

Mom once said: "If you see a jelly-shaped person, it's a werewolf. They can move freely on a full moon night, and they will kill any children who don't come home."

The adults set up a guard, thinking about killing werewolves all day long, and even my mother joined them.

He's also terrified of werewolves at first, especially now that he's a "kid who won't come home."

So on the first day that transparent sister came, he set the lamp on fire in the early morning, trying to burn the werewolf to death.

However, with such a strong fire, the transparent sister was not burned to death, but the transparent sister was not the bad person in the imagination.

Unlike some nice looking adults in town...

And the transparent sister doesn't look like a wolf at all, she is very cute, but it's a pity that she can't hear the sound, otherwise she can play with him.

Now, taking advantage of the absence of "Transparent Sister", he walked to Otto's phone.

He also had this phone in his previous home. It looks like a phone, but in fact there is no number on it, just a receiver and a large turntable, which can be turned around to record.

Little Shadow thought, the recent events are enough for him to record a new diary:

"Where did that strange transparent sister go? She looks more like a ghost than a werewolf."

"She made a very large jelly writing board yesterday, and you can change the font. I really want it! What surprises will there be today?"

Then he saw the transparent sister coming in from the door.

……

【Night 3】Street lights turn on time: 4:[-] pm.

Ye Man walked into the living room.

She dug up a lot of soil in the garden during the day and packed it in empty cans.

Now she pours the sand out of a jar and spreads it on the ground.

The sand particles are fine, and writing and drawing with fingers is much clearer than corn grains.

In this way, the "resolution" of yesterday's "small blackboard" is much higher, and more things can be written and drawn.

The child squatted down and seemed to be biting his fingers, full of curiosity and innocence.

It seems that it can't understand complex characters, so Ye Man draws on the soil layer.

She drew a small house on the "little blackboard", and then drew a small person next to her house.

She pointed to the little shadow with her finger, and then pointed to the painting, which meant that the villain was referring to the little shadow.

Then she continued to draw, drew an arrow, started from the villain, pointed from the outside of the house to the inside of the house, and put a question mark next to it.

Ye Man wanted to ask why you were able to enter this house.

Little Shadow understood what she meant.It scratched its head and walked to the roses in the house.

He carefully picked up the shadow of a withered petal, holding it with both hands, Ye Man saw the shadow of the withered petal being picked up, and the entity of the petal moved accordingly.

Then the little shadow gradually walked into the shadow of the stairs, and Ye Man saw something miraculous—the shadow of the petals turned into a handful of slime-like semi-flowing lights, shining brightly in the palm of the little shadow.

The light of the petals glows slightly in the shadows, illuminating a small circle of light.

A small black shadow was faintly visible in the light.

But soon, the light body melted, flowing down from Xiaoying's palm, and quickly darkened.

The little shadow suddenly jumped away from the re-dispersed shadow, and returned to the room with the dim light.

It seemed frightened by the momentary extinguishment of the petals just now, and it was stroking its chest and gasping for breath.

Then it walked over angrily, pointed at the vase, opened its hands in a flowering shape, pointed at Yeman, closed its knuckles one by one, and finally made a posture of falling down.

It may be that there have been a lot of gestures and exchanges recently, Ye Man understood it instantly, and the little shadow said: "It's all your fault! The flower was fine before you came, but it withered after you came."

Ye Man went to check the stairs, only saw the petals broken into powder.

It seems that this rose is immortal in the shadow world of the undead, but after touching a living person, it will wither like an ordinary rose.

Withered roses cannot maintain "lighting" for a long time.

Ye Man picked up her backpack and walked to the stairs. She had something to verify.

……

The little shadow was still lamenting that he didn't fall into the swamp when the petals were dark, and was rejoicing for the rest of his life.

He looked at the "transparent sister" in shock: she walked into a large wall of jelly without hesitation!

The body of the jelly and the jelly wall instantly became one.
