Chapter 207 There is something wrong with "Shen Lin"!
Tap tap tap!
Just when Wang Xiaoming and others were extremely vigilant, there was a dull sound of footsteps in the white mist at the other end of the street.
And the footsteps gradually became closer and closer, as if someone in the white mist was walking towards their location.
“Has the evil ghost appeared? Or is the owner of the footsteps Shen Lin who is investigating the situation?”
Everyone immediately glanced at the red ghost candle held in Li Jun's hand. They were relieved when they saw that the burning speed of the ghost candle did not increase significantly, thinking that the latter was more likely.
After all, the ghost candle is a consumable supernatural item. If there are ghosts around the user, then the ghost candle will not be abnormal at all. At least the burning speed will be accelerated.
As for how fast the ghost candle burns, it depends on the horror level of the ghost. As long as the horror level is enough, the ghost candle may even burn out in an instant.
There is nothing abnormal about the ghost candle in Li Jun's hand, which means that there is no supernatural presence around everyone, and the owner of the footsteps in front is not a ghost.
Beiyang City is already an isolated city at this time, and it is almost impossible for other survivors to exist in the city. From this point of view, the owner of the footsteps can only be Shen Lin, who went to explore the situation before.
A ghost controller standing behind Wang Xiaoming shouted directly to the white mist in the distance: "Shen Lin, how is the situation over there?"
And things seemed to be as everyone expected. Just as he thought, after a while, Shen Lin's voice came from the white mist not far away.
"Professor Wang, why are you the only ones here, where are the others? Could it be that you were attacked by a ghost before, so everyone got separated?"
In the thick white mist .
Shen Lin's slightly doubtful voice sounded, and Wang Xiaoming and the others also heard something else from Shen Lin's words. It seemed that the other party's sight was not affected by the thick white mist, and they still Can clearly see the scene on this side of the fog.
"Is this the strength of the headquarter's designated captain?" Chen Cong, who was in the team, looked at the end of the street with a look of fear on his face.
But his eyes could not see anything. Except for the place illuminated by the red ghost candle, there was only a vast expanse of white.
And Chen Cong responded. He was not the only one whose vision was affected. Others around him were also affected, making it impossible to see in the white mist.
"Wait, something is wrong!"
Just when everyone heard Shen Lin's voice and prepared to speed up to meet him, Li Jun suddenly spoke up and stopped everyone's behavior.
"What's wrong?" Chen Cong, who was interrupted from his thoughts, was stunned, and then asked Li Jun in front: "Li Jun, what did you find?"
"You didn't notice the ghost candle burning. Has the speed started to increase? This proves that there are ghosts around us that are getting closer!"
Li Jun showed everyone to look at the ghost candle in his hand.
Everyone followed the sound and found that the red ghost candle in his hand was indeed burning much faster than at the beginning, and as time went by, the burning speed of the ghost candle continued to increase.
“How could this happen?”
Everyone who discovered this situation felt their hearts sink.
Chen Cong quickly said: "Then let's quickly meet up with Shen Lin. He said before that he has the ability to detect the ghost town incident. He should know a lot of news about the ghost town incident now."
“Are you sure that the person in the white mist must be Shen Lin?”
However, as soon as Chen Cong finished speaking, Su Fan, who was silent on the side, turned his eyes from the hand in his hand. He turned away from the phone screen and said with a solemn expression.
A very simple and weird-looking escape game is running on his phone, but the game is over at this time, and four big red characters "You are dead" are displayed on the screen of the phone. .
Just now.
Su Fan controlled the protagonist of the game to walk forward along the street, but he died mysteriously before he reached the end of the street. Su Fan did not see clearly how he was attacked.
I only knew that a person was walking on the other side of the street at that time, but the game did not warn if there was any danger approaching, so Su Fan continued to control the character in the game to come forward, and then died suddenly.
Immediately, Su Fan started to try the game for the second time. He wanted to know what it was that attacked him in the game.
The game on Su Fan's mobile phone reflects reality. In reality, Li Jun lit a red ghost candle in his hand, and the character in the game also held a similar candle prop in his hand.
Then Su Fan controlled the game character to move along the street for the second time. During the advancement, the candle suddenly went out, and the game character also died suddenly as the candle went out.
Same as the first time, Su Fan still did not see how the characters in the game died, and the game did not give any prompts before death.
The only difference is that the second time the game character dies is slower than the first time.
Because in order to understand the situation, Su Fan deliberately controlled the characters in the game to move slower than the first time, but the final result remained the same.
Similarly, Su Fan discovered that the two games had one thing in common, that is, the time of his two deaths was probably when he met the figure walking from the other side of the street.
The moment the two sides met, the candle representing the ghost candle was extinguished instantly, and the characters in the game died at the same time.
It was precisely for this reason that when Su Fan heard Chen Cong say that he wanted to speed up to meet Shen Lin, he asked that question in return.
"Su Fan, you don't think Shen Lin is the one with the problem, do you? In your opinion, the reason why the ghost candle burns faster is because of Shen Lin?"
Chen Lin Cong didn't understand what Su Fan meant, so he asked.
To be exact.
It's not that Chen Cong didn't understand the meaning of Su Fan's words, and he didn't understand Su Fan's thoughts. After all, Shen Lin had spoken before. Even if Su Fan thought it was a trap set by the ghost, it was impossible for the ghost to recognize them directly. Everyone.
Unless...the fierce ghost in the white mist has obtained Shen Lin's memory, this situation is possible!
Su Fan did not continue to respond to Chen Cong's words, but looked solemnly at the white mist ahead.
To be honest, he was not sure whether there was something wrong with "Shen Lin" who was walking towards them in front of them, or whether there was a ghost behind Shen Lin, and it was the ghost that was really preparing to attack them.
After all.
Su Fan could only be sure that there was danger in the white mist ahead. As for where the danger came from, he did not dare to be 100% sure, so it was difficult for Su Fan to speak too fully at this time.
But Li Jun and others, who knew something about Su Fan's ability, had already understood in their hearts that the other party should have discovered some clues from the mobile game, otherwise they would not have made such remarks.
Tap, tap, tap!
At the same time.
The footsteps in the white mist became closer and closer. As the footsteps got closer, everyone discovered a result that chilled their hearts.
The burning speed of the red ghost candle increased sharply, and most of the original ghost candle burned at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This situation undoubtedly told everyone that Su Fan's guess was correct. There was indeed something wrong with Shen Lin who was walking towards them!
………………
The other side.
An unknown supernatural place.
Su Mubai stood in an open space between the three old houses, holding the rusty hatchet in his hand, and watched the scene happening in front of him with faint green eyes without blinking.
The medium of the hatchet has been successfully triggered, and an old man wearing clothes from the Republic of China appeared in front of Su Mubai.
Because his back was turned to him, Su Mubai could not see clearly what the old man looked like.
But judging from the old man's figure, the other party's body should be very thin. Only skin and bones are left on the exposed body parts, the skin is dark brown, and his palms are like dead branches.
The most bizarre thing is the old man’s fingers. There are only three fingers on both of his palms, and both the thumb and little finger are missing.
at this time.
The old man in front of Su Mubai was moving his hands quickly in front of his eyes, as if he was planning to dig up the grave in front of him. Suddenly, the soil flew up.
But this is just an image after all, a scene that happened here in the past, reappeared by the supernatural power of the hatchet.
"Strange, why can't the medium of the hatchet be traced back to the origin of this old man? Like the groom who was in the room before, it can only trigger the remaining traces of the past, but cannot directly trigger the place where they are now. Source.”
Su Mubai’s eyes moved slightly.
In the scene before me, it would be wrong to say that the hatchet medium was successfully triggered, and it would be even more wrong to say that it was not triggered.
If Su Mubai had to define it, he would think that Hatao's medium was indeed triggered, but the trigger was incomplete. A more powerful supernatural force blocked Hatao's supernatural exploration, so Only images of the past can be shown.
It was just like what happened when he triggered the hatchet medium in that endless cemetery.
The medium that could originally be traced back to the source of the supernatural in the cemetery ended up showing only a few figures with supernatural power. The fundamental reason was that there was a more powerful supernatural power that blocked the hatchet's supernatural exploration. .
The same is true now.
If the medium of the hatchet is completely triggered, Su Mubai will not only be able to see the images left behind in the past, but also the current scene of the old man through the medium of the hatchet.
The owner of the hatchet can directly attack the opponent based on the marks left by the opponent and dismember the opponent's body.
Brush!
The sound of a sharp blade cutting through the air sounded.
Su Mubai held an old hatchet in his hand and chopped off the head of the old man not far from him. Judging from the way he cut the knife, it was not difficult to see that he He wanted to dismember the old man's head in half.
The next moment.
The curse of the hatchet breaks out.
There was a "pop" sound.
The hatchet that looked old and rusty was extremely sharp when faced with other things with supernatural powers. Su Mubai obviously didn’t use much force, but the hatchet managed to kill him smoothly. The head of the old man in front of him was dismembered and split into two halves.
At the same time.
Another unknown place.
This is an old house from the Republic of China. At this time, a red coffin is placed in the center of the hall of this old house. The hall is decorated like a mourning hall.
At this time, squatting in front of the coffin was an old man who was as thin as skin and bones. He was holding a handful of old and yellowed paper money in his hand and throwing some out from time to time. Go into the brazier in front of you.
It is worth mentioning.
This old man only had three fingers on each of his hands. The other two fingers seemed to have been chopped off by someone, or eaten by something terrifying.
If you ignore the old man's clothes and his appearance, everything in this old house meets the standards of a mourning hall.
After all, it is quite common to burn paper in front of the coffin in the mourning hall.
But the appearance of this old man was too terrifying. To be precise, he had no appearance at all!
There are no facial features on his face at all. There are only bloody holes where the eyes, nose, mouth, ears, eyebrows, etc. were originally. Through these blood holes, you can clearly see The flow of blood in his body.
However, the blood in the old man's body is different from the bright red blood of ordinary people. The blood in his body is actually black!
Sudden.
The old man stopped burning the paper, and the paper money in his hand fell directly to the ground, making a "pop" sound like an object falling.
“Crack!”
At this moment, a huge wound suddenly appeared on the old man’s head, almost piercing through his entire head.
And this wound appeared very strangely, without any warning.
"The curse of that... knife...!"
An even weirder scene happened.
The old man clearly had no mouth, and the bloody hole that replaced the mouth did not move, but a hoarse, low voice still sounded in the hall of the old house.
This is amazing!
This scary-looking old man seemed to know what was attacking him, and he seemed to know the hatchet in Su Mubai's hand.
soon.
Black blood flowed out from the wound, making a "trickle" sound, which continued to echo in the hall, making people feel their scalp numb.
“Ka~ka~~ka~~~”
The red coffin in the center of the hall also reacted at this moment, as if someone was scratching it with sharp nails inside. It was like a coffin lid, making bursts of harsh sounds.
"Calm down, you can't get out of this coffin as long as I'm here."
In the hall, the hoarse, low voice sounded out of thin air again.
The moment the words rang out, the red coffin suddenly emitted a burst of rich black light, and then the sound of nails scratching the wood inside disappeared.
"Crack!"
Fires flew everywhere.
The scary-looking old man squatting in front of the coffin began to burn paper money again, and he threw the yellowed paper money into the brazier in front of him.
The weird thing is.
The hideous wound on the old man's head mysteriously disappeared, leaving no trace, not even a scar.
……………… After reading the recent chapters of Mystery, I feel that it would be more interesting if Yang Jian was replaced by Ye Zhen. If the paper shop dared to buy and sell by force, Ye Zhen would probably just carry a sword. , chopped from the street to the end of the street
