Principal Mei's reappearance caught Jiang Yue and the others a bit off guard.
But Jiang Yue was only stunned for a moment, and he immediately felt something different.
If the previous Principal Mei was indeed a kind reminder, then the current Principal Mei is more like acting, acting under orders, or even under some kind of coercion.
Judging from the tone, apart from deliberately creating an eerie atmosphere, there seems to be no other emotional color.
Therefore, Jiang Yue held the torch high and said, "Continue going upstairs."
Just when Jiang Yue was about to step onto the eighteenth floor, Principal Mei, who was sitting in his chair, suddenly turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared in the corridor.
At this moment, the entire corridor seemed to open the door to hell, and all kinds of ghosts cried and howled loudly, as if countless ghosts were about to come out of the darkness at any time and tear them to pieces at any time.
Jiang Yue laughed coldly. He was already used to seeing how this suit worked.
He waved his hand to signal Mr. Ke and Luo Chu behind him to follow closely.
If he hadn't been caught between Jiang Yue and Luo Chu, Mr. Ke would have been too frightened to even walk. He is different from Jiang Yue and Luo Chu, and his mental quality is far inferior.
Such a terrible sound reached his ears, which obviously caused great disturbance to him. So much so that his steps were obviously weak when he walked.
Every step the calf takes is extremely difficult.
At this time, Luo Chu also lit a torch. ; The two torches were placed one behind the other, and the brightness suddenly increased greatly.
The distance between the three of them is kept at 70 to 80 centimeters, which is one step away from an adult. It is also convenient to take care of them if anything happens.
The sign in the corridor showed that this was the sixteenth floor.
However, Jiang Yue obviously no longer considered these disturbing factors. He determined that this was the 18th floor. Definitely not the sixteenth floor.
No matter what power the other party has or what tricks they are playing, he only strengthens his inner judgment.
Jiang Yue was in front and Luo Chu was behind. In order to prevent his back from being stolen, Luo Chu still walked slowly backwards. In this way, both the front and rear perspectives are taken into consideration.
As he walked, Jiang Yue suddenly stopped walking and then stopped.
Because he vaguely felt that there was something wrong with the footsteps.
Although the footsteps of the three people were very low, Jiang Yue could still hear them clearly with his hearing.
But we had only taken a few steps. Why did the three people seem to be missing one step?
Jiang Yue suddenly turned around, only to see that Mr. Ke behind him had disappeared long ago!
Between him and Luo Chu, there were strings of black things hanging from the ceiling, which looked like long black hair hanging from the ceiling.
The long black hair was actually slowly hovering in mid-air, as if a controlled hand was gathering momentum, hovering around Luo Chu's back with eager eyes, ready to attack at any time.
As their steps moved, the long black hair actually moved, maintaining a perfect synchronized rhythm, so that Jiang Yue and Luo Chu were completely unaware of their existence.
God doesn't know, ghost doesn't know.
I have no idea when these ghosts appeared.
And where did Mr. Ke go?
Jiang Yue moved forward and Luo Chu moved behind. There was Mr. Ke between them. It means that both of them have their backs to Mr. Ke.
In this way, they really didn't see the specific reason why Mr. Ke disappeared.
If Jiang Yue hadn't noticed something was wrong with the footsteps, he wouldn't have even turned around.
The moment Jiang Yue turned around, the long black hair seemed to be alive, and he was frightened and quickly retracted it.
The speed was as fast as lightning, almost in the blink of an eye, it was completely collected and disappeared from the top.
Luo Chu noticed the movement behind him and turned around in surprise. Seeing Jiang Yue's incredible expression, he couldn't help but be extremely surprised.
"Xiao Jiang, what's wrong?"
"Eh? Where is Lao Ke?"
Jiang Yue also looked confused: "He disappeared. I felt the footsteps of someone missing. When I turned around, I didn't see him at all!"
The distance between the three of them was no more than one meter. How could Ke disappear out of thin air in such a short distance?
How could these more than one hundred kilograms of meat disappear out of thin air for no reason?
Although there are apartments on both sides of the corridor, the doors of these apartments are closed. Mr. Ruo Ke disappeared from both sides of the corridor and entered the apartment.
With Jiang Yue and Luo Chu's insight, it was impossible for them to be unaware. And if you move sideways, you will always be within the coverage of the two people's peripheral vision.
Both of them had their backs to Mr. Ke, and if Mr. Ke wanted to disappear without anyone noticing, there was only one possibility, either from above or from the ground.
Either...
It can only be moved instantly by some force.
The idea of teleportation is too weird after all, even if ghosts have the ability to move through the air. After all, Mr. Ke is a big man weighing more than 100 kilograms. It would be too difficult to take it away out of thin air.
Jiang Yue moved his torch to the top, only to find that there was nothing visible on it except the white paint.
"Luo Chu, take it easy."
Seeing Jiang Yue hesitate to speak, Luo Chu couldn't help but said, "Did you see something?"
"I said that there was long black hair hanging down from the top just now, and it was preparing to attack you. Do you believe it?"
Luo Chu's color changed in shock, he was dumbfounded and speechless for a moment.
"Lao Keta...was he swept away by these long black hair?"
After a long time, Luo Chucai asked quietly.
"Also a possibility."
"Then should we find him first?"
"It's not impossible to find him first, but if you keep playing hide and seek like this, you will completely follow the opponent's rhythm. The other party wanted to capture Lao Ke. There were many opportunities before, why didn't they capture him? Why did they capture him now? Already?"
"You mean, this is deliberately messing with our rhythm?"
"I guess that's probably true."
"Hey, what are you afraid of, Lao Ke, he will come anyway. Let's go to 1814 first, and then look for Lao Ke later. After all, we came together, and it can't be justified if we don't look for him."
Jiang Yue also meant the same thing.
With the two of them left, the team became even more streamlined.
Both of them have an aura that protects them from all evil. If those ghosts want to sneak attack, it may not be that easy.
The corridor is a winding corridor. To reach 1814, you need to reach the end of the corridor and go through a corner.
The two were about to move forward when suddenly a cry came from behind: "Help! Help me!"
The voice was hysterical, full of fear, and it was clearly coming from Mr. Ke. The sound was coming from the opposite direction.
It sounded as if Mr. Ke was undergoing the cruelest punishment in the world. His screams were filled with tragedy and despair.
"Luo Chu, Brother Jiang, don't leave, help me...I...can't breathe...help me!"
Mr. Ke's voice was intermittent, and it sounded as if he was about to die at any moment, which was extremely miserable.
Luo Chu paused.
"Ignore it."
Jiang Yue stopped Luo Chu's hesitation and continued to drag him forward.
As they walked around the corner, Mr. Ke's voice became more and more cruel, resounding throughout the entire corridor, which was extremely heartbreaking. Even a very hard-hearted person like Luo Chu couldn't help but hesitate.
Jiang Yue turned a deaf ear and turned the corner.
The door number on the apartment door showed 1614, but Jiang Yue didn't look at the number at all. He flew up and kicked hard on the security door.
boom!
A big hole was opened in the security door, and the door lock completely collapsed.
Jiang Yue pulled the door hard.
The torch was shining into the apartment.
The sixteenth floor is actually the floor where Lao Dong is located. Jiang Yue and the others had checked through the sixteen apartments on that floor, some of them more than once.
So Jiang Yue knew very well where the room number 14 corresponded.
The door was opened, but before the torch came close, the room seemed unusually bright.
What Jiang Yue never expected was that there was someone in this room!
And not just one person, but four people.
Four people were playing cards in the living room!
The most amazing thing is that the lights in this room are actually on!
No wonder Jiang Yue opened the door and felt that the room was bright before the torch even came close.
The entire apartment was without power, but the lights in this room were actually on.
And there were actually four people in this room, and they were actually playing cards!
Not to mention that Jiang Yue did not expect this strange scene, even Luo Chu was dumbfounded.
The four people stared at the door with confused and even angry faces. One of them, a man in his thirties, stood up angrily.
"What are you doing? Kicking down the door at night and robbing?"
Luo Chu was well-informed and was about to touch his ID when he saw the other party's bad tone. Jiang Yue suddenly grinned: "Robbery? I'll rob your eighteenth generation ancestor!"
He flew up and kicked the man in the chest.
The man screamed and flew backwards.
The body was still in mid-air and before it hit the ground, it suddenly turned into a line of blue smoke and disappeared in mid-air.
The remaining three people bared their teeth and smiled strangely at them. The cards in their hands suddenly scattered and flew towards Jiang Yue and Luo Chu.
Jiang Yue was extremely fast. With a sweep of his sleeve, he rolled down the cards all over the sky.
The three people's sneak attacks with cards were fake, but their attacks in the east and west were real. With a slap on the table, it turned into three streaks of green smoke, billowing towards Jiang Yue and the others.
This kind of attack method is not unfamiliar to Jiang Yue.
When the Deng family asked Yu Yuan to deal with Jiang Yue, they also summoned a fierce ghost lurking in Jiang Yue's home in Crescent Harbor.
This attack that turns into blue smoke is actually possession.
Once the green smoke possesses the body and the ghost invades the body, it can only be at the mercy of the ghost.
Later, the ghost was subdued by Jiang Yue, and he went to the Deng family's club to deal with those guys from the Deng family. The ghost also used this attack method to attack Yu Yuan.
At that time, if Yu Yuan hadn't had a family-inherited finger ring with defensive capabilities, he would have been killed long ago.
For ordinary people, once a powerful ghost possesses someone, it is equivalent to being cold.
But Jiang Yue is obviously not an ordinary person, and Luo Chu, who has received the blessing of sharing, is also not an ordinary person.
Sangu Qingyan obviously also knows which one is stronger and which one is weaker, Jiang Yue or Luo Chu.
On Jiang Yue's side, two puffs of green smoke came at the same time.
But on Luo Chu's side, there was only a streak of green smoke.
This differential treatment also shows that the other party has a rough idea of their background.
Knowing that Jiang Yue is the most difficult character to deal with in this trip.
Green smoke fell down, Jiang Yue deliberately pretended to be at a loss, put his head in his hands, and tried to avoid it. But Luo Chu was even more heroic. He took the initiative to wave the torch towards Qing Yan, trying to scare Qing Yan away with the torch.
This green smoke was transformed into a ghost. Seeing Jiang Yue's clumsy movements, he thought it was a trick for a moment, and without any precautions, he moved left and right, preparing to attack Jiang Yue from both sides.
At this moment, Jiang Yue moved.
Seeing it clearly, he reached out with both hands on the left and right at the same time, and gently grabbed it in the middle of the green smoke.
This grasp seemed ordinary, but it accurately captured Qing Yan's vital point.
Only two screams were heard at the same time, and the forward momentum of the green smoke stopped. It kept shaking in Jiang Yue's hand and slowly transformed into a human form.
Strangely enough, in Jiang Yue's hands, the figure looked like a miniature cartoon doll, but its expression and movements were extremely lifelike.
At the same time, the green smoke fell on Luo Chu, and he let out a scream almost at the same time. A ray of light bloomed on Luo Chu's body, like a blazing firework, making the green smoke seem to have suddenly hit a high-temperature furnace, emitting a ray of light. The sizzling sound of roasting.
Then, the green smoke couldn't make any further progress, and fell from the air in despair. Qingyan's form also slowly changed.
It also turned into a human form, but this human form was obviously not a human being. It seemed real and illusory, having shape but seemingly no substance.
There were burnt red wounds everywhere on his body, like burning charcoal, which looked extremely strange.
Obviously, the defensive power of the Invincible Halo after the upgrade is much stronger than the defense power before the upgrade. This ghost didn't expect such a thing at all. The harder it attacked, the more severe the backlash it received.
Lying on the ground, wailing continuously, the wounds all over his body were obviously deeply injured, and he couldn't even escape.
Luo Chu was also stunned.
He had waved the torch just now, but he felt that the torch did not reach the green smoke that the ghost turned into. Why does this ghost seem to be seriously injured?
Could this ghost be playing me?
"Xiao Jiang, what's going on?"
"Just a few little ghosts." Jiang Yue knew by looking at the methods of these ghosts that these ghosts were powerful ghosts, but their methods were mediocre and their movements were clumsy. It seemed that they had not evolved at first glance.
This fighting power is probably not much better than the original ghost at Xiaoyi's house in Crescent Harbor.
However, these four ghosts obviously have a certain amount of intelligence and actually know how to disguise themselves as humans. If it weren't for Jiang Yue's sharp eyes, they might have been deceived on the spot.
In this case, there must be someone training behind these ghosts.
Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible for these newly transformed ghosts to have such intelligence, and be so disciplined, and even pretend to be playing cards when they take the form of humans.
This is by no means the wisdom possessed by newly transformed ghosts.
Under Jiang Yue's control, the two ghosts let out bursts of mournful screams.
It can be seen that they are also afraid.
Jiang Yue did not directly kill him.
Knowing fear and having wisdom, Jiang Yue felt that maybe these two ghosts could fight for it.
"Who sent you here?"
Jiang Yue asked coldly after restraining the two ghosts.
The two ghosts were dumbfounded and at a loss, as if they didn't know what Jiang Yue was asking.
Jiang Yue seemed to be saying to himself: "Since we can't find anything valuable, let's just destroy it. Anyway, keeping this kind of ghost is a disaster."
The two ghosts suddenly became excited, and their eyes suddenly became panicked.
