In the center of the dilapidated yellow mud house, an old-fashioned black and white TV was playing the news broadcast.
This yellow mud house seemed to have been flooded. Two of the four walls collapsed. The roof seemed to have been blown away by strong winds. The beams and thatch were scattered on the ground. It did not look like anyone was living in it at all.
Outside the hut, Jiang Yan and the man in the black hat watched quietly, not daring to act rashly.
After all, where can there be electricity in such an abandoned old house?
But this TV is playing normally. There is no doubt that this TV must have some kind of supernatural power.
"Good guy, there is a TV here to watch? Could it be that it is for ghosts to watch?" the man in the black hat joked.
"Maybe it's true?" Jiang Yan agreed. Although he was afraid of ghosts, he was even more afraid of having no clues.
The TV in front of them is obviously a supernatural object. It may be able to bring them some useful information just like the man with the portrait.
So they watched the TV screen attentively, not daring to miss any information.
The TV seemed to be very old, and there was something wrong with the saturation, and the picture on the screen had a green glow.
The program being broadcast now is a news broadcast. Two hosts, a man and a woman, are sitting upright and broadcasting a piece of news. It looks the same as a normal news broadcast.
The face of the female anchor in the news broadcast looked perfect, except for being a little pale.
But Jiang Yan felt a chill in his heart when he saw the female host. The female host's facial features were perfect, but she looked a bit uncoordinated, as if she had been pieced together from the faces of many people.
The male host next to him looked even weirder. He was wearing a clean and crisp suit, but his face was as dull as a corpse, and his face was covered with corpse spots.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that both hosts have problems.
But neither Jiang Yan nor the man in the black hat acted rashly, and continued to watch the news quietly.
On the TV screen, the female host was talking the whole time, and the news content was very simple, mainly talking about the mass death incident at a high school in Dachuan City.
Jiang Yan also had some impression of that incident. It happened about more than ten years ago, when a class of people in that high school died collectively for unknown reasons. The final official result was food poisoning, but now that I think about it, it’s definitely not that simple.
There was only this one piece of news. After the announcement, the female host repeated it.
The two listened to it again and found that the content was exactly the same twice, with no new information.
But after every news broadcast, the two anchors would get closer, as if something terrible would happen when they came into contact.
"This news has nothing to do with our situation. There is nothing we can do just standing here. Since there is a TV here, there should be a remote control. If we can find the remote control, we might be able to get more information." The man in the black hat suggested road.
"You're right, let's go in and look for it."
Jiang Yan also felt that something had to be done, so he decided to enter the hut with the man in the black hat.
But before that, he deployed the ghost first, which was safer.
The dim ghosts spread out and suddenly enveloped the hut, and the weird TV was also shrouded in ghosts.
"Being able to be shrouded by your ghost means that the level of terror is not high." The man in the black hat said happily.
"Well, you still have to be careful." Jiang Yan still didn't dare to let down his guard.
The two walked into the hut, and as soon as they entered, they felt a chill.
It was broad daylight, but this small hut was so cold.
The air was filled with the smell of rotten wood, mixed with a faint odor. Jiang Yan, who had driven the ghost bus, immediately recognized this smell - the smell of corpses.
"Let's find the remote control first."
The two began to rummage around the hut, making the house full of dust, but they didn't see the remote control for a long time.
"I've looked everywhere I can, and it seems there really isn't a remote control." The man in the black hat said a little disappointed.
"Then now we can only see if there are relevant buttons on the TV." Jiang Yan said and looked at the TV.
"That's all. Who will go first?" The man in the black hat said a little embarrassed.
Jiang Yan thought for a while and finally decided to take action himself:
"Let me come, this is my ghost, I am stronger."
The man in the black hat on the side nodded, and at the same time he felt a little more admiration for this college student.
The ghost bus driven by Jiang Yan was obviously stronger than his ghost windbreaker, and the probability of success was much higher. Moreover, Jiang Yan did not begrudge the supernatural power and took the initiative to shoulder the responsibility.
This kind of quality is very rare among ghost masters, let alone a new ghost master. Moreover, Jiang Yan was not a brainless person. His decision was made with the overall situation in mind.
If the black hat man goes first, it will be difficult to deal with the evil ghost's resurrection if he dies. Therefore, the black hat man quickly understood his position and played a supporting role obediently.
Jiang Yan came to the TV with an expressionless face. Before touching the button of the TV, he first took out the red safety hammer in case of emergencies.
The host on the TV screen showed no reaction to his approach and was still doing the program normally.
The moment Jiang Yan approached, whether it was an illusion or not, the female host seemed to glance at him.
Jiang Yan didn't hesitate too much at this moment. He reached under the TV screen and fumbled for the buttons.
There are four buttons under the screen, which should be the power button, the channel change button, and the volume up and down buttons. Jiang Yan needed the channel change button, but he couldn't tell it by just feeling it.
"Would you like to squat down and take a look?"
An idea flashed through his mind.
But he quickly gave up on this idea. Only a fool would do this. He decided to try buttons one by one.
"The power button must be at the edge, and the volume up and down buttons should be in pairs..."
The power button must not be pressed. After all, if the TV is turned off, there may be dire consequences.
So he decided to press the two buttons in the middle first. After pressing one of the buttons, the sound of the TV became a little louder. It was obvious that this button was the volume button.
He pressed the button next to it again, and the sound of the TV became smaller again. This was also a volume button.
Now Jiang Yan was sure that the two middle ones were the volume buttons, and the power button and channel change button were on both sides.
In other words, he has a 1 in 2 chance of pressing the channel change button.
The volume button is a normal volume button, but Jiang Yan doesn't know what the consequences of pressing the channel change button and power button will be.
Just in case, he reminded the man in black hat:
"be prepared."
The man in the black hat nodded and activated the cuffs of the ghost windbreaker to float in front of the TV, ready to attack at any time.
After getting ready, Jiang Yan chose the innermost button and pressed it without any ink.
The moment the button was pressed, the TV screen flashed and suddenly went black, but after a while it turned into a snowflake shape.
"Searching for channels?"
Jiang Yan watched intently. He was lucky. He should have pressed the channel change button just now, and the TV was searching for available channels.
After a while, there was an image on the screen, but it looked very strange.
The screen was covered with jagged ripples, the image display was very strange, and a ferocious pale face filled the entire screen.
This face looked very similar to that of the female host, but her eyes were bleeding and her mouth was grinning ferociously. Her face was squeezing the screen, as if she was about to burst out of the screen the next moment.
"Kekeke..."
She seemed to be able to see Jiang Yan, staring at him with a sinister smile...
