Chapter 276 Weird Village!
"The supernatural power of the ghost paintings has indeed begun to spread outward."
At the door of Ping An Hotel, Mr. Qin, a stooped figure with an old appearance and a cane, frowned. But it soon stretched out again.
At this time, the environment inside the hotel was gray, and there was dense paper-gray mist floating in the air, which was a kind of ghost painting.
Previously, the ghost painting was blocked by Mr. Qin above the second floor of the Pingan Hotel. In other words, the lobby on the first floor of the hotel was normal and there was no supernatural presence at all.
But at this moment.
The supernatural power of the ghost paintings has spread throughout the hotel, which means that although the ghost controller who broke into the Ping An Hotel did not release the ghost paintings at once, he had already broken Mr. Qin's control. The layout allows the supernatural power of ghost paintings to spread.
If the current situation continues to develop, it won’t be long before the ghost painting incident breaks out again in Dajing City.
Tap, tap!
Just as Mr. Qin was looking at the surrounding situation, there was a dull sound of footsteps in the dim environment, as if some "person" was walking towards his location.
Standing at the door of the hotel, Mr. Qin acted very calmly, his facial expression as calm as ever, as if he didn't care about the owner of the footsteps at all, and he seemed to have enough confidence in his own strength.
In this environment, there is a high probability that the owner of the footsteps will be a ghost, a ghost inside the ghost painting incident.
However, the generally terrifying ghosts basically no longer pose any threat to Mr. Qin. Only the ghosts, the source of the ghost painting incident, will be more troublesome for him.
The main reason is that the ghost painting incident is too special and very difficult to imprison. Mr. Qin has spent a lot of effort to confine the ghost painting incident to the Ping An Hotel.
This is not the first time that Mr. Qin has dealt with ghost paintings. Through the sound of footsteps coming from the hall, he can be sure that the person walking towards him is definitely not the source of the ghost painting incident.
"Here we come."
Suddenly.
Mr. Qin raised his slightly cloudy eyes and looked in one direction in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel.
In the gray hall, a humanoid outline gradually emerged. Although it could not be seen completely due to the dim environment, it could already be seen roughly.
………………
at the same time.
The other side.
As Su Mubai had thought before, the outside of the old shop was indeed not the Dajing City he was familiar with, but a village.
After Su Mubai broke through the wall of the old shop, he came to the village. He was currently standing on the road in the village.
The village is not too big, and its architectural style is completely different from modern society. It looks somewhat similar to those ancient rural towns in tourist attractions.
All the houses look extremely old, most of them are old wooden houses, and there are even many mud houses mixed in among the wooden houses.
Some houses were seriously damaged, with walls collapsing, windows falling off, and door panels falling down. The house was dark, with an inexplicable sense of spookiness.
And the roads in the village are different from the cement roads in the city. They are authentic country mud and stone paths, and it seems that no one has taken care of them for a long time. The paths are overgrown with weeds and very desolate!
Not only that.
The village was completely silent. Apart from the sound of wind and grass, there was only the sound of Su Mubai's footsteps as he walked. There was nothing else. There was no trace of anyone else in the ancient town.
"It's really weird."
As Su Mubai walked, he looked at the surrounding environment and buildings, with a look of confusion on his face.
A long time has passed since he broke through the wall. He has walked through most of the village, but he has not found anything unusual.
From the outside, this looks like an abandoned mountain village without any supernatural beings at all, and this seems to be the case.
While walking, Su Mubai not only looked around with his eyes and used the ghost field to explore, he also personally entered several rooms that seemed to have problems, but found nothing abnormal. .
If there was something wrong with this village, it would only be that his ghost realm could not invade rooms with closed doors and windows.
It was precisely for this reason that Su Mubai chose to open the door himself and enter several rooms to investigate the situation.
It is worth mentioning.
Those rooms are the same as the old shops where Su Mubai stayed before. It is very easy to open the door from the outside. You only need to push the door lightly, but it is extremely difficult to open the door from the inside. Know how the villagers lived in the past.
Yes, after Su Mubai broke out of the wall, he found that the wooden door of the old shop was not locked, so he tried to push it, but unexpectedly the door opened directly. It's open.
Moreover, Su Mubai also checked the material of the wooden door and the collapsed wall, and found that the raw materials were very ordinary. Not only did they not have any traces of supernatural power, they were not even adulterated with gold.
I don’t know what principle is relied upon to limit the spread of supernatural beings in the house.
The same is true for those houses in the village with closed doors and windows. Su Mubai's ghost realm cannot spread in either. It can only be extended in after the door is pushed open.
Tap tap tap!
While thinking, Su Mubai continued to move forward.
The dull footsteps echoed around, bringing a touch of life to this abandoned village, but it also revealed an inexplicable sense of weirdness.
Not long after, Su Mubai crossed the entire village and came to the back of the village.
Different from the wooden houses or earth houses in the front of the village, the rear of the village is full of uniform buildings. Although the style is a bit old, it is much better than those wooden houses and earth houses.
“Other villages have more buildings at the head or in the middle of the village, but this village is better. The head and the middle are all wooden houses or mud houses, and only the back of the village is full of buildings.”
Su Mubai's eyes moved slightly, looking towards the neat rows of buildings, and looked at them carefully.
There are not many buildings, only about a dozen or twenty, each of which is a two-story building. The floor area is not much different, and the height of the building is also about the same. At a glance, it looks very neat.
“Huh?”
Suddenly.
Su Mubai's eyes narrowed and he looked up at a building on the left side of the road.
Just now, he noticed a figure flashing past the window of the building. It was so fast that Su Mubai couldn't fully see the figure clearly.
"A fierce ghost?"
Su Mubai secretly guessed.
He didn't think there were any living people living in such a deserted village, so the figure he just saw was probably a ghost.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that some of the older batch of ghost masters are nesting here.
But no matter what, the figure just now is either a ghost or a ghost controller. The probability of being an ordinary person is too small.
Thinking of this, Su Mubai took a step forward and came directly to the building. Then he raised his hand and pushed towards the closed door.
The doors and windows of the building in front of Su Mubai were closed, so he could not use the ghost domain ability to teleport directly in. The seemingly ordinary building blocked out all supernatural powers.
“Creak~”
Fortunately, the door of the building is the same as the wooden houses that Su Mubai explored before. It doesn’t take much effort to enter from the outside. The door opens with a gentle push. .
The moment the door was pushed open, a cold, damp breath hit his face.
Moreover, the environment in the building seemed dark and depressing, with no light at all.
Su Mubai's face remained as usual. He first raised his head and looked at the hall of the building for a few times, and then walked directly in.
It can be seen that this building must have been abandoned for a long time, and all the furniture inside looks extremely shabby.
However, compared with the wooden houses that Su Mubai entered before, this building is already relatively luxurious. At least it is equipped with tables, chairs, sofas and other facilities.
Besides the hall, there are three rooms on the first floor of the building. The door of the innermost room is open. Judging from the furnishings inside, it should be the kitchen. Su Mubai has already seen half a stove. .
As for the doors of the other two rooms, they were closed, and they didn't know what was inside, but they probably were either bedrooms or storage rooms.
At this moment, Su Mubai did not open the two doors and go in to take a look. Instead, he focused his attention on the stairs leading to the second floor on the other side.
The figure he saw before flashed past the window on the second floor. Then Su Mubai used the ghost domain ability to teleport to the front of the building and pushed the door in. He moved very quickly.
If nothing else happens, the owner of that figure should still be on the second floor at this moment.
Unless the opponent also uses the ability of the ghost domain to move, it is impossible to go down to the first floor and hide in the room on the first floor in such a short time.
It is worth mentioning.
The stairs in the building are not made of cement, but wooden stairs, and some of the steps have decayed, making people wonder if they will fall down if they step on them.
But fortunately, Su Mubai did not intend to walk up step by step.
The black mist, which was like a substance, continued to surge and diffuse, and soon spread to every corner of the building, and Su Mubai also teleported to the second floor of the building.
Same as the first floor.
The second floor of the old building is also a hall plus three rooms, and the doors of the three rooms are all closed.
"Have you entered a certain room?"
There was no one in the hall on the second floor except Su Mubai. The figure that flashed past the window of the hall on the second floor before Gone.
The old building is also strange, isolated from all supernatural things.
Su Mubai's ghost realm cannot invade those bedrooms with closed doors, and ghost eyes cannot see through the doors, so Su Mubai does not know what is behind the doors.
Step, step, tap...
Su Mubai stepped forward and walked towards the door of the nearest room.
Now that the figure has disappeared, he is going to check each room one by one. Anyway, there are only three rooms on the second floor.
But soon, Su Mubai stopped, frowning and standing there, motionless, as if listening to something.
That’s when.
There was a "creak" and "creak" sound from the wooden stairs behind Su Mubai, as if a person was walking along the wooden stairs.
But soon, the sound disappeared again, as if the owner of the footsteps stopped on a certain step of the wooden staircase.
"The ghost is on the stairs?" Su Mubai narrowed his eyes, turned around and began to look at the wooden stairs.
From his angle, he could have a panoramic view of the entire staircase, but he could not see any figure. It seemed that the footsteps just now were just Su Mubai's auditory hallucination.
"Is it another invisible ghost? But it shouldn't be. I have seen it outside the building through the second floor window before."
Su Mubai's eyes flashed, as if he thought of something. He deliberately stepped forward on a flight of stairs. In an instant, there was a creaking sound from the wooden stairs.
"That's right, it's this sound. In other words, there is indeed an invisible 'person' on a certain step of the stairs."
Su Mubai thought to himself.
Then, the kick Su Mubai just stepped on seemed to have caused a chain reaction, and there was another creaking sound on the wooden stairs.
The sound was very dense, as if there were people walking on every step on the entire staircase. It sounded like someone was walking up, but if you listened carefully, it seemed like someone was walking down. It was very strange. .
"There's something wrong with this wooden staircase." Su Mubai was shocked.
Judging from the current situation, there should be an unknown ghost lingering on this old wooden staircase. This ghost will follow people's footsteps.
That is to say.
The moment Su Mubai stepped into the building, he had already alerted the evil ghost, and the evil ghost should have been wandering on the stairs as Su Mubai walked around.
Under normal circumstances, if someone wants to go upstairs on the first floor of a building, the ghost lingering on the stairs will go down the stairs.
If this is the case, then the person who goes upstairs and the ghost at a certain moment will definitely meet on a certain step of the wooden staircase.
"I was careless, I was careless. I thought the evil ghost was on the second floor, but I didn't expect that there was also a evil ghost wandering on the stairs. This is such an unexpected surprise!"
To be honest, Su Mubai had said that before He didn't pay much attention to the movement on the stairs.
Although he did hear a "crunching" sound when he came in, the same sound came out when the door of the building was pushed open, so it was understandable that it did not attract his attention.
But it’s different now.
Now Su Mubai was on the second floor, very close to the wooden stairs. When he walked around, the ghost on the stairs also made a noise, and Su Mubai would naturally hear the movement clearly.
As for whether you can see the ghost on the stairs, it doesn't really matter, as long as the ghost is real.
With Su Mubai's knowledge, he naturally knew that some ghosts cannot be found under normal circumstances, and it is necessary to use a certain medium to see the ghosts.
For example, like the red bench that Yang Jian encountered in the original work, only people sitting on the bench can see the ghost.
Therefore, Su Mubai guessed that the ghost wandering on the wooden stairs was probably the same.
One needs to stand completely on the wooden stairs and meet certain conditions in order to successfully see the fierce ghost.
