Chapter 564 Fork in the Road
"Yes, we listen to Boss Lin and don't separate." Pi Ruan said sternly, but everyone could see that he was just afraid of being killed by ghosts when he was alone.
The sound of everyone's footsteps echoed in the empty tunnel. There was endless darkness in front and behind, and it seemed as if there was no end to the depth.
The surrounding darkness was like a tide. The group of people seemed to be sinking into the deep sea, and the strong sense of suffocation made them breathless.
A weird atmosphere is fermenting.
Different from before, Jiang Cheng focused more on his side.
He smelled something strange from the boring footsteps and occasional breathing.
"Wow."
"Wow."
The sound was very soft, mixed with the footsteps of everyone, and you could hardly hear it if you didn't listen carefully. It seemed like someone was stepping on it from time to time. Take a dip.
Jiang Cheng suddenly became alert.
Although the mine is humid, everyone walks in the middle of the tunnel for safety reasons. Because of the placement of railroad tracks in the middle, the terrain is higher and there is no accumulation of water.
Who is it?
Who is treading water?
Jiang Cheng pretended to look around casually, his eyes scanning over the tired and even impatient faces.
He knew every face, and nothing got in.
Is it Pi Ruan’s fault?
Did the ghost pretending to be him take action?
But after observation, Pi Ruan lowered his head and arched his back, panting heavily from time to time, looking like he was about to die, and did not see anything wrong.
The most important thing is that he walked honestly by the railway track, and there was no water under his feet.
wrong!
There must be something wrong.
If this problem is not solved, they may all be trapped and die in this tunnel.
He deliberately slowed down and retreated slowly from the middle of the team to the back. Soon, he stopped and made a terrible discovery.
The number of people in the team is wrong.
There were three teams in total, him, Lin Wan'er, Fatty, Huai Yi, Chen Qiang, plus Pi Ruan who joined temporarily, there were 6 people.
There are three people in the team including Zhao Xingguo, Linghu Yong and Pan Du.
Luohe, Fu Fu and two night watchmen.
The three teams totaled 11 people.
But now, there are 11 people standing in front of him, with their backs turned to him!
Counting him, there are a total of 12 people in the team.
There is one more.
Sure enough.
Something has gotten in.
It was this thing that confused their eyes and caused them to fall into this vicious circle that they could never get out of.
To be precise, this is called ghost hitting the wall.
Jiang Cheng once encountered such a thing, in the ancient copy.
At the end of the dungeon, they couldn't escape from the rain. The building in front of them was so close, but they couldn't escape.
In the end, I gave up on An Xuan and left.
Because he was targeted by a ghost, who didn’t want to let him go.
Does that mean that they are facing the same situation now, and some of them are also being targeted by ghosts?
If this person is not left behind, everyone will die.
Who can be targeted?
Jiang Cheng looked away and stared at the back of a person.
Luohe River.
It should be him!
This ghost was encountered after they entered the tunnel, so it can be concluded that it is related to the supernatural events in the tunnel.
And Luo He was the first among them all to answer the call from the ghost.
The target of the ghost is him.
You must get rid of him to get out of this endless cycle.
Of course, there is another way to help Luo He and get rid of this ghost, but Jiang Cheng feels that the risk is too high.
This ghost is more troublesome than the one that haunted An Xuan in the ancient copy.
Jiang Cheng observed his teammates in front more than once, but what was chilling was that he clearly knew that one of them was a ghost, but he couldn't find it.
Every silhouette gave him a familiar feeling, and he could call each one by name.
This is so weird.
Jiang Cheng even speculated that this ghost had the ability to distort memory within a certain range.
Under such conditions, Jiang Cheng felt no psychological pressure from abandoning a teammate who had once threatened him.
There was no suspense. Soon, they returned to the location where the stones were placed.
When he saw the stone, Pi Ruan looked like he was about to die, and said tremblingly: "We, we are back again."
If the plan fails, we can only Try plan two.
"Let's go separately." Zhao Xingguo stared at the darkness in the distance, withdrew his gaze, and said seriously: "There is no other way."
This time the group will probably never have the chance to meet again, and no one wants to They separated from the original team, so the Jiangcheng team could only be in one group, and the other two teams were in another group.
"Little earthworm." Fu Fu squinted her eyes and looked at Pi Ruan, "Do you want to team up with your sister? She will protect you. If you encounter a ghost, you can help her."
“Bah!” Pi Ruan, not to be outdone, replied He said: "Be careful, grumpy girl. I heard that ghosts here like flat chests. They will definitely not miss it when they encounter an airport like yours that has not been seen in thousands of years."
The original serious scene of life and death was replaced by him. When the two of them did this, the atmosphere was completely gone.
"Life and death are determined by destiny and wealth." Zhao Xingguo clasped his fists and said, "Take care."
"Take care." Jiang Cheng returned the gift.
After talking about Luo He, Zhao Xingguo and others turned around and walked back.
Just when their figures were about to disappear from sight, Huaiyi's eyes paused, and then he seemed to have seen some extremely terrifying sight, pointing to the opposite side: "Then what is that?"
Lin Wan'er reached out and slapped Huai Yi's outstretched arm away.
Luo He, Fu Fu, and Zhao Xingguo were supposed to be five people, but a sixth person actually appeared in the team!
At the end of the team, there was a tall figure following.
The figure is hidden in the darkness, looming, carrying a large black bag, covering the entire upper body.
There seems to be a lot of equipment hanging around his waist.
Before everyone could continue to observe, Luohe and several others were submerged into the darkness.
The tall figure also disappeared.
"Fuck!" Pi Ruan's startled breath attracted everyone's attention.
Everyone turned around quickly, and there was a fork in the road not far away, and what was even weirder was that there was light coming from inside.
"It seems that the guy is pestering us." Chen Qiang said. He had also experienced ancient books and had a certain understanding of ghosts breaking walls. He figured everything out immediately.
“Let’s go.” Jiang Cheng stepped forward, “Go over and have a look.”
They came here for the supernatural events in Gray Stone Mountain, so naturally they would not refuse this sudden fork in the road.
Different from normal tunnels, there is a light at intervals at the top of the forked tunnel. The light is a dim yellow light, and a railway track extends into the forked road.
Jiang Cheng squatted down and looked at the rails in the tunnel. After a moment, he said, "This should be it."
The rails were rusty, and the sleepers underneath were in a mess. , in obvious contrast with the original railway tracks in the tunnel.
It has been decades at least.
Normal trains cannot run on such tracks, only the ghost train can. (End of this chapter)
