Chapter 170 Leaving
There are a hundred and two third-stage ghost babies around Su Mubai's body. The appearance of each ghost baby is not much different, and can even be said to be exactly the same!
They all bear a black and blue death head, and their pitch-black eyes are cold and empty.
Judging from the appearance, he looks exactly like "Zhou Zheng" in his youth.
There are so many third-stage ghost babies around, but there are currently only 20 ghosts that can be used to cultivate ghost babies, which is simply not enough for all the ghost babies to grow to the fourth stage.
Unless...
Su Mubai plans to dismember these ghosts into several parts, so that the number of ghost babies in the fourth stage can be greatly increased.
But Su Mubai did not intend to do this!
Although dismembering the bodies of ghosts can allow more third-stage ghost babies to grow to the fourth stage, correspondingly, their level of terror will also become extremely unsatisfactory.
It can even be said that it is useless except for the characteristic of immortality. It is not even cannon fodder when facing other ghosts or ghost masters.
Although the number can be compensated when the number reaches a certain level, and there is also a saying that "too many ants kill an elephant", that is based on a very large number, not just a few or dozens more.
“If you dismember these originally low-level ghosts because you want more, then to others, even the fourth-stage ghost baby is just an unbeatable ghost slave. . ”
“But if we don’t dismember them and only let 20 third-stage ghost slaves devour them, the result will be completely different. At least these fourth-stage ghost babies are enough for me. It’s like cannon fodder.”
Su Mubai thought.
Then the ghost babies who controlled the twenty third-level ghosts began to devour the surrounding ghosts.
soon.
There was a spooky "click" sound, a "click" sound of bones being broken, and the sound of someone chewing while eating.
Although these third-stage ghost babies are just Su Mubai's ghost slaves, they are not slow at all in devouring ghosts.
Time passed minute by minute...
The entire devouring process probably lasted less than five minutes. Then, the inner hall of the ancient house returned to calm again, no longer The slightest sound came out.
The twenty third-stage ghost babies all grew to the fourth stage after devouring the fierce ghosts, and had great changes in appearance.
Like the ghost babies that devoured the hanging corpse before, these twenty ghost babies that have grown to the fourth stage are 70% or 80% similar in appearance to Su Mubai.
I don’t know if it was influenced by the supernatural power of Su Mubai, who is the source of ghost babies, or because of some other reason.
After these ghost babies grow to the fourth stage, apart from being 70% similar to Su Mubai in appearance, they are different in body shape.
Some are tall and some are short, some are fat and some are thin.
If you don't observe carefully, but just take a quick glance, it will be like seeing different versions of Su Mubai.
That’s it.
Su Mubai already has 27 fourth-stage ghost babies under his command.
In addition, there are one or two hundred third-stage ghost babies and a similar number of second-stage ghost babies. As for the number of ghost babies in the first stage, which is the least terrifying, there are less than a hundred.
“The level of terror of these fourth-stage ghost babies varies from high to low. Among them, the most terrifying ones are the ghost baby that swallowed the female ghost in a white cheongsam and the ghost baby that swallowed the ghost boy.”
"The female ghost and the ghost boy are obviously the two most terrifying among all the ghosts. The female ghost in particular is not only terrifying, but also extremely special."
Su Mubai looked inside the ancient house. A fourth stage ghost baby.
It was a ghost baby who looked very similar to him, with a black and blue death head and wearing a white cheongsam.
The white cheongsam is obviously a piece of clothing only worn by women, but it fits perfectly on the ghost baby, as if it was tailor-made for it, and there is no sense of disharmony when wearing it.
The white cheongsam is a supernatural item, with a ghost's curse lingering on it. The size of the cheongsam will automatically change according to the figure of the person wearing the cheongsam.
Therefore, even if the person wearing the white cheongsam is a child, the size of the cheongsam will change to that of a child.
In addition, the supernatural curse existing in the white cheongsam will also protect the person wearing the cheongsam. If the person wearing the cheongsam is attacked by a ghost, the cheongsam will protect him from the attack from the ghost.
If you look at the abilities of the white cheongsam, you will find that the cheongsam is very similar to the ghost shroud worn by Su Mubai.
The white cheongsam and the ghost shroud are not only similar in ability, but even the cost of wearing the two ghost clothes for a living person is almost the same.
After a living person puts on a black shroud or a white cheongsam, his body will be affected by the curse of the ghost in the clothes. The body will be invaded by supernatural forces and begin to gradually become stiff. Some body parts It will rot.
When all parts of the body become cold, stiff, or even rotten, the person wearing a white cheongsam (black shroud) will turn into a ghost wearing ghost clothes!
“After the ghost baby swallowed the female ghost, it not only grew to the fourth stage and obtained a white cheongsam, but also had the same ability as the previous female ghost...the body became insubstantial!”
Su Mubai looked at the ghost baby not because of the white shroud it was wearing, but because of the ghost baby's ability.
This ghost baby has the ability to dematerialize its body and turn it into an incorporeal existence. For ordinary ghost controllers, this ability is simply incomprehensible and impossible to compete with.
The final result is to be killed by the ghost baby!
"Huh?"
Suddenly.
Su Mubai, who was originally observing the fourth-stage ghost babies around him, moved his eyes slightly and looked at the corridor outside the main door of the ancient house.
In the middle of the corridor of the old house in the Republic of China, a figure appeared without warning.
The figure appeared very suddenly, but it seemed natural, as if she had always been in that aisle.
"Chen Meng?"
Su Mubai's eyes flashed, and then he stepped across the threshold of the inner hall door of the ancient house and walked towards the figure that suddenly appeared.
Tell the truth.
Su Mubai was a little curious about Shen Meng's previous mysterious disappearance and sudden appearance.
Because both Shen Meng's disappearance and appearance were so sudden, even Su Mubai's ghost realm could not detect any abnormalities.
He had no idea where Shen Meng went or how he appeared!
Originally, Su Mubai planned to wait for him to deal with the evil ghost in the old house before looking for Shen Meng, but before he could take action, the other party suddenly appeared again.
Tap tap tap!
Su Mubai made no secret of his actions, and even deliberately made footsteps, hoping to attract Shen Meng's attention in the corridor.
Su Mubai knew that Shen Meng could not see in the dark, and the environment in the corridor where they were now was pitch black.
To be precise.
The environment in the entire old house of the Republic of China is like this, you can't even see your fingers!
"Huh?!"
Hearing Su Mubai's footsteps, Shen Meng's expression changed, and he immediately faced Su Mubai's direction with great vigilance.
Although Shen Meng's eyes were indeed blind at this time, it did not mean that her ears could not hear.
"It can't be so unlucky, right? Just after walking out of that closed secret room, you will encounter a ghost?" Shen Meng thought to himself.
In the closed secret room before, Shen Meng found a way and finally found a mechanism on one of the walls of the secret room.
After opening the mechanism, the wall of the originally "sealed" room was opened with a gap large enough for people to pass through.
“It’s a pity that the old oil lamp placed on the stone table cannot be taken away, otherwise the strange light emitted by the oil lamp would definitely be able to dispel the darkness.”
Chen Meng thought of the oil lamp in the secret room again.
The secret room was not big, and the only items inside were a stone table placed in the center. The old-era oil lamp that Shen Meng was thinking about was placed on the stone table.
Chen Meng knew that it was a supernatural item, so she tried many ways to take the oil lamp away when she left.
But in the end they all failed!
The oil lamp seemed to have grown on the stone table. No matter what Shen Meng did, she could not pick up the oil lamp or even move it a short distance.
In the end, after confirming that she could not take away the oil lamp, Shen Meng could only leave through the gap in the wall of the secret room angrily.
After leaving the secret room through the gap, Shen Meng once again came to a place where the environment was pitch black and he couldn't see his fingers.
Not only that.
Chen Meng realized that the wall behind him was not the wall of the secret room at all. He reached out and touched it, but he didn't touch anything.
In other words, Shen Meng most likely came to another strange place through the gap in the wall of the secret room, which was not the place where the secret room was.
What made Shen Meng secretly unhappy the most was that as soon as she came out, there was a dull sound of footsteps in the darkness ahead. It was obvious that someone was walking towards her direction.
In such a strange place, Shen Meng certainly wouldn't think that what he encountered was really a human being. It was more likely that he had encountered a fierce ghost!
“I just don’t know if this ghost is the ghost that used footsteps to lead him into the secret room from behind the boss.”
Chen Meng guessed in her heart.
I don’t know if it was her imagination, but she always felt that the footsteps coming from the darkness ahead were very similar to the footsteps of the ghost that led the way in front of her.
On Shen Meng’s head, there are three faces.
One of them was her own, and one of the other two faces had the corners of its mouth raised slightly, revealing a strange smile.
The last face is a crying face with sadness on it, as if it will open its mouth and cry at any time.
When the footsteps were getting closer and closer to her location, Shen Meng was also prepared to face the attack of the ghost.
The corners of the two grimacing faces on Shen Meng's face moved, as if they would open their mouths and cry (laugh) at any time.
“Dream!”
As if sensing Shen Meng's nervousness and vigilance, Su Mubai said while walking: "What happened to you before? What did you encounter? Why did you disappear suddenly?"
"This voice... It's the boss's!" The moment she heard Su Mubai's voice, Shen Meng's heart moved, and then she subconsciously said:
"I don't know what's going on. I was walking with you before. It's gone. The only thing that's certain is that I met a ghost!"
"I walked in a similarly dark corridor for a long time, and in that darkness, there was a footsteps very similar to yours! The sound is guiding me forward."
"I know that the owner of those footsteps is a fierce ghost, but I don't know why it didn't attack me, and then..."
"…………"
Chen Meng told all her previous experiences.
From the time when Su Mubai and Su Mubai were separated in the corridor, to the footsteps she encountered later, and everything in the last secret room, she told them all without reservation. .
"Endless corridor... dull footsteps... closed secret room." Su Mubai thought quickly in his mind, trying to find the connection between these things.
On the contrary, Su Mubai didn't care about the conspiracy between the post office couriers mentioned in Shen Meng's words.
Su Mubai didn't know who the "Zhang Xianguang" and "Tian Xiaoyue" mentioned by Shen Meng were, but it was obvious that these people should be the messengers on the fifth floor of the Ghost Post Office.
"Now it seems that the owner of the red letter that was torn into pieces in the inner hall of the ancient house is most likely the person who left the message on the stone table in the secret room in Shen Meng's mouth." Su Mu Bai thought to himself.
But he also knew that this was only one of the possibilities.
It cannot be ruled out that the real owner of the red letter is other messengers who later entered this strange place.
After all, judging from the information left on the stone table in the secret room, this old Republic of China house should not be as simple as it seems. The ghost post office will most likely send other messengers here to complete the task of delivering letters.
It's just that a trap has been laid here by the messenger named "Zhang Xianguang". Other messengers who enter here are likely to fall into Zhang Xianguang's trap and fail to deliver the message.
"Boss?"
Seeing that Su Mubai in the dark did not respond, Shen Meng asked in a low voice: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
"It's nothing, I'm just thinking about what you said." Su Mubai responded.
Then, Su Mubai continued to speak: "Since you have successfully come out of the secret room, let's leave this ancient house."
After saying that, Su Mubai ignored Shen Meng's body and began to walk along the corridor towards the outside of the ancient house. Behind him, Shen Meng followed without any hesitation.
During the march, Su Mubai gathered the ghost realm that enveloped the entire ancient house as he walked, and finally returned to Su Mubai's body.
Similarly, the originally densely packed ghost babies of various stages also "disappeared" as the ghost realm closed in, and the surrounding space became empty again.
In addition, Su Mubai has also been looking for the secret room that Shen Meng said, but after searching for a long time, he didn't even see the shadow of the secret room.
Su Mubai couldn't help but feel a little unhappy.
Tap, tap, tap!
Su Mubai and Su Mubai kept walking, and soon they passed through the corridor of the ancient house and arrived at the outer hall of the ancient house.
The door of the outer hall of the ancient house is like a clear dividing line from the outside world.
The environment inside the gate is dark, and the entire ancient house is like this. You can't see your fingers, but the environment outside the gate is bright.
“Let’s go.”
Su Mubai glanced at the scene in the ancient house behind him.
After confirming that he could not find the secret room, and even the ghost realm could not sense the location of the secret room, he walked directly out of the ancient house.
Go here.
Shen Meng also saw the bright scene outside the gate and knew where he was now.
At the same time, her eyes also regained the ability to see.
After all, the environment outside the gate of the outer hall of the ancient house is bright. Even if you can't see clearly what's going on inside the ancient house, you can still see the scene outside the gate.
Without any hesitation, after seeing Su Mubai's figure stepping out of the door and leaving the ancient house, Shen Meng quickly followed.
The environment outside the old house in the Republic of China is desolate. Apart from the winding path, the only things that come into view are the trees on both sides of the path.
