On the deserted road.
The SF90 passed by quickly, and the oncoming evening wind was very cold, making Lin Youwei's heart even colder.
Not long ago, after handling the cram school incident, Jiang Chen tactfully advised her to go back first, but she naturally refused.
The two of them went out to do a task together.
It is impossible to say that one's mission has been completed and then ignore one's companions.
But following Jiang Chen's instructions, after driving out of the suburbs and onto this deserted road, Lin Youwei couldn't help but start to feel a little shaken.
What mission requires traveling so far from the outskirts of the city?
Until a roadblock appeared in front of him, Jiang Chen looked at the warning sign on the side: "This is it, stop for a moment, right now."
Then he ran down and moved the barricade away neatly.
Get in the car again.
"This is the road, let's go."
Lin Youwei finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked hesitantly.
"Jiang Chen, can you tell me what kind of mission you are taking? Can we really handle it with our strength?"
Blocked roads generally mean that extremely serious supernatural events have occurred.
Jiang Chen pondered for a moment: "Our strength may still be a bit lacking."
"But it's okay. Human life is a process of continuous breakthroughs and self-transcendence. Only by wandering on the edge of life and death can the human body's potential be maximized!"
Hear this.
Lin Youwei couldn't help but widen her eyes.
In other words, did you really leapfrog and take over a task?
"Are you scared? Why don't you go back first." Jiang Chen suggested.
Since Lin Youwei entered the world of strange people, she has been making great progress without encountering any setbacks.
Hearing this rashly, he felt a little angry and gritted his teeth and said, "There's nothing to be afraid of. Classmate Jiang Chen isn't afraid, so of course I can do it too!"
After saying that, she quietly glanced at the young man aside with a complicated expression.
His strength improved so quickly.
It turns out that he relies on wandering on the edge of life and death to stimulate his own potential. Over the years, he must have suffered a lot and experienced hardships that ordinary people can't imagine, right?
Even if you can’t cultivate yourself.
There is also a wealthy family, so the pressure is not too great.
But he had nothing left, so he could only fight for his life and struggle hard on the journey of cultivation. Under the seemingly strong appearance, he didn't know how many scars were hidden.
Think of this.
Lin Youwei couldn't help but feel a sore nose.
She had been to Jiang Chen's house when she was a child, so she naturally knew what it would take for a young man from such a small place to reach this point.
"Jiang Chen, if you are tired, you might as well take a rest. I can take you back to Maoshan. If you are favored by a senior and accepted as a disciple, your future journey will be much easier."
She spoke sincerely.
Jiang Chen was also very interested: "Okay, do you have ghost-raising, ghost-refining, and ghost-luring techniques in Maoshan? Are there some vicious old ghosts suppressed in the sect?"
Lin Youwei was stunned: "Such a technique is usually practiced by evil people from the Dark Alliance."
"If we want to talk about suppressing ghosts, I'm afraid there are quite a few Ghost Refining Sects from the Dark Alliance."
"Dark Alliance, Ghost Refining Sect..." Jiang Chen began to think thoughtfully, his eyes shining a little.
Seeing this, Lin Youwei quickly shut her mouth and did not dare to continue speaking, for fear that she would lead Jiang Chen astray.
The car is driving on the road.
Jiang Chen turned on his phone and looked at the details of the Jiutai Mountain Tunnel again.
Criminology experts once made a case reconstruction.
A few years ago, someone found a man named Zhao Hai on the construction site whose family was in a difficult situation and told him about beating live pillars.
Zhao Hai agreed to help his wife treat her illness so that his son could have money to marry a wife.
That night, he asked his son, who was at the same construction site, to go get the money with him, and told his wife that if his son didn't come back with the money at twelve o'clock, he would report it to the police station.
This kind of thing is usually done with one hand and paid with the other.
And because it was dark, there weren't many people present.
Wait for Zhao Hai to jump into the cement.
His son took the money and left. He didn't go far when someone attacked him, chopped off his head, took away the money, and finally threw the body into the cement.
By twelve o'clock in the evening.
The wife who was waiting at home saw that none of her husband and son had come back. She became anxious and forgot their instructions. She walked more than ten miles of mountain road and came to Jiutai Mountain to look for someone.
As a result, while going up the mountain, she saw her son's head falling in the grass.
Frightened, he fell off the cliff.
A family of three died on Mount Jiutai.
After Jiang Chen read it, he was basically sure that these three ghosts had very heavy resentments, although according to the information, there was only one woman in blood clothes.
But if the other two men become ghosts, they will at least be half-blood-clothed.
Fortunately, he is not weak now.
Without the need to transform into a demon, he is still at the peak of C+. With the Yin Shen Hammer, Thunder Method, Kui Niu Drum and other trump cards, his combat power is definitely much stronger than the average pseudo-B-level weirdo.
"We must find a way to deal with these two half-clothed men one by one, so that we can obtain the ghost energy to the maximum extent."
"With our strength, it's not difficult to lure them out."
"The bloody one should look down on us and might give it to her husband and son."
"This is a best-case scenario."
"If it doesn't work, we can only kill them together..."
"..."
Jiang Chen formulated a battle plan in his heart.
At this time, Lin Youwei suddenly hit him with her thigh several times deliberately, as if to remind him of something.
"What's wrong?"
"That...over there!" Lin Youwei said nervously.
There was a woman in white clothes standing on the road ahead, holding a child in her arms. She was waving to the two of them, shouting something, and seemed very anxious.
"Such a strong resentment. This is a top-notch ghost!?" Lin Youwei bit the tip of her tongue and forced herself to wake up. Faced with the woman's plea for help, she unconsciously felt a trace of pity in her heart.
I have the urge to stop the car and help her at all costs
"Urgent like laws and regulations, pray to the heavenly eye, destroy evil spirits...purify the divine talisman!"
She quickly put a talisman between her eyebrows.
Only then did he finally curb this urge.
But at this time, it was obvious that something was wrong with Jiang Chen beside him. He actually shouted seriously: "Stop the car quickly, her child seems to be sick. If she goes to the hospital late, it will be a life!"
"Jiang Chen, please wake up. It's late at night and the road here is blocked. Where did the woman come from?" Lin Youwei said anxiously.
Also planning to turn around.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the car slowed down, Jiang Chen directly supported the car door and jumped out.
"Jiang Chen!!" Lin Youwei's eyes widened.
"No, he seems to be bewitched and has completely lost his mind. What should I do..."
There was a tangled look on her face, and she seemed to have made a decision in the end.
"We can only use what the master left behind..."
She reached into her chest and took out a talisman close to her body. The beautiful small characters on it exuded an extremely terrifying aura.
at this time.
Jiang Chen had already come to the woman and spoke gently.
"Sister, how are you? Do you need help?"
The woman's long hair was disheveled. She slowly raised her lowered head, revealing a pale face. She stared at Jiang Chen and smiled: "Haha, thank you, little brother. My child is sick, can you send us there? A nearby hospital?”
"Of course, no problem, come with me."
Jiang Chen said and took two more steps forward.
Only then did he see clearly.
What the woman was holding was clearly a dead baby. The body was stiff and white, and there was a faint stench. It was unknown how many days it had been dead.
"Sister, your child is not sick, it is obviously dead!"
Hear this.
The smile on the woman's face became even stronger, and the corners of her mouth cracked into a sinister arc, as she was about to say something.
Jiang Chen continued: "Otherwise, we won't go to the hospital. I'll take you directly to the funeral parlor. I have acquaintances there who can jump in! Burn your son first."
