Chapter 7 Can't Get Out of IKEA 2
As soon as they entered the shopping mall, they felt a chill. This kind of cold was different from the air-conditioning, but a cold that hit the soul directly and came from the heart.
It was a tremor of facing fear and the unknown.
The bright lights in the shopping mall did not dispel the cold feeling at all, but made the space even more weird.
Liminal space.
Except for Chen Jue and Zhou Zheng, there was no one in the entire commercial building.
It was quiet,
When I turned around, the door that came in had disappeared, replaced by various shops, as if the two of them did not come in through the door, but It felt like getting lost in the center of the mall.
The two looked at each other and became wary.
“I’m going to use the ghost realm.”
After reminding Zhou Zheng, Chen Jue increased the power of the ghost lamp. Soon, the originally dim light became bright and dazzling. An incongruous light dispersed the original white incandescent light of the commercial building, spreading like a dividing line, confronting, Eventually it enveloped the two of them.
As if a boundary was broken, the light of the ghost lantern flickered slightly. Chen Jue knew that this was a supernatural confrontation. His ghost lantern and ghost realm broke through reality and invaded a deeper world.
The whole world has changed.
As if a layer of window paper had been punctured, Chen Jue and Zhou Zheng now came into contact with the real commercial building with the help of ghost lanterns.
The previously brightly lit commercial building has completely changed its appearance. Dilapidated, bleak, incomplete, and gloomy have become the main tone here. The occasional dim lights add a bit of weirdness.
This is the true face of this commercial building.
What I just saw is an illusion. Ghosts are hidden in the ghost realm. If there is no ghost realm, even a ghost controller will be trapped and die here.
"Let's go."
There is no point in standing still. The source ghost must be imprisoned to solve this supernatural incident.
Chen Jue and Zhou Zheng chose a direction and explored forward.
"Look, the names of these shops are all in traditional Chinese characters."
Chen Jue looked at the dilapidated shops and pointed to the hanging signs.
"Indeed, it seems that this is a supernatural place. Fortunately you are here. If I were the only one, I would be in trouble this time."
Zhou Zheng looked around at the strange scene. Said happily.
The two of them explored for a while. It was like a shopping mall in the Republic of China, with a wide variety of shops, but they were all dilapidated and collapsed.
The ghost domain has changed the terrain here. Chen Jue and Zhou Zheng searched for a long time but could not find the way up and downstairs. It seemed that there was only one floor here.
In other words, the layers here do not refer to the normal number of layers, but the number of layers in the ghost realm.
The exploration continues, Chen Jue and Zhou Zheng carefully explore this mysterious shopping mall in the Republic of China.
It’s hard to believe that there were such huge shopping malls during the Republic of China.
Is it the supernatural power that affects my cognition?
The signal on the mobile phone has completely disappeared. Zhou Zheng tried to contact the police who entered before. The special mobile phones they carried had a walkie-talkie function. If they were not far away, they could make temporary calls without a base station.
As a result, there was only noise in the phone.
“Look, there are not only Chinese characters here, but also these.”
Zhou Zheng pointed to a broken signboard and said.
“This should, um, be in Japanese.”
Chen Jue looked at it and came to the conclusion that after all, he always watched anime. Although he didn't recognize the Japanese, he still looked familiar.
After all, it is a text that was born out of Chinese characters, and many parts are in the same vein.
I am obviously in China, how can I have anything to do with Japanese? Looking around, there are quite a few signs labeled in Japanese.
Republic of China, Northeast, Japanese.
Chen Jue thought of some bad things.
"Let's go, this place is completely abandoned and there is no valuable information."
After searching for a while, the two gave up.
"Thousands of people are missing. It's impossible that there are no traces at all. Let's look for it again."
Chen Jue said, Zhou Zheng just said, rough statistics, because it is the peak period in the weekend evening. In just over an hour, nearly a thousand people entered IKEA and lost their traces. This is why Zhou Zheng was so restless that he dragged Chen Jue to take risks.
One hour is enough for the tireless ghost to accomplish anything.
"Bang."
Suddenly, a strange noise came from the silent alley. The two people who were already on high alert froze, held their breath in unison, and stopped any movement.
The two looked at each other and saw solemnity in each other's eyes.
A bowl that had fallen off appeared in Zhou Zheng’s hand.
I don’t know what is in this bowl. It is full of dirt and exudes a strange smell. It smells fragrant at first, but after a closer sniff, you can smell the rotten smell in it, which makes people feel dizzy. Nausea.
The bowl on a white background has a black word on the gap. It is difficult to distinguish because it is too damaged.
Nodding, the two of them looked in the direction where the sound had just come from. What they saw was a shadow. Even with the light of the ghost lamp, they could not clearly see the specific situation in the alley.
Chen Jue pointed in the direction of the alley. Zhou Zheng nodded and tiptoed in this direction. Chen Jue controlled the ghost lantern to focus in the direction of the alley, hoping that the ghost domain with the ghost lantern would be able to Just hack in.
The bowl in Zhou Zheng's hand was surging, and he didn't know what was in it. A dark, sticky substance emerged out of thin air at the bottom of the bowl. There were also several pieces of rotten meat floating in it, and there was a faint smell of blood. , revealing the complete weirdness.
Ghost Meal Zhou Zheng’s ability is to make food that attracts ghosts and protects him from their attacks.
Of course, these foods also have some other magical uses. Zhou Zheng did not go into details, and Chen Jue did not ask more questions. After all, it is taboo to explore other people's ability to control ghosts.
Chen Jue used the intensity of his ghost lantern to the warning line. If he continued to increase the power of the ghost lantern, he would not be able to perfectly suppress the ghost lantern. Even now, Chen Jue could feel that the ghost lantern in his hand was beginning to move, and there was a burst of The heat of the array is a sign that the ghost lantern is beginning to revive.
The effect was limited. Although the lights spread into the alley, they could not completely illuminate the situation inside. Seeing that Zhou Zheng had reached the edge of the alley and was about to leave the coverage of his own lights, Chen Jue also began to move toward Moving in the alley, behind Zhou Zheng, he was ready to provide support at any time.
Zhou Zheng does not have a ghost domain. He is really at a disadvantage in this mysterious place. If he leaves his ghost domain, the two of them are likely to be separated in an instant. Zhou Zheng may really fall into trouble if he is not careful. Here it is.
As Chen Jue approached, the light of the ghost lamp gradually illuminated the place, and the true face of the alley was gradually revealed in front of the two of them.
That was a broken arm, with blood still remaining on the broken parts of the wound.
The alley is not deep. Apart from the broken walls, there is only this arm and a pool of hot blood. Zhou Zheng observed it, did not dare to get close, and slowly backed away.
The two met and quickly left here. Chen Jue reduced the ghost realm of the ghost lantern to form a small closed space. The outside world would not feel anything going on inside until there was no intrusion. (End of this chapter)
