That was enough darkness to soak into the bone marrow.
In the darkness, there is no light or anything. There is only a mottled stone step leading to the unknown.
The stone steps are covered with moss, and you can smell some moldy smell when you get close. What is even more frightening is the scarlet blood light emanating from around the stone steps. It smells of bloodthirsty and full of ominousness.
"Walk!"
Gritting his teeth, Shen Lin said, they had no choice. Under the suppression of the Ghost Realm, they could only try and make mistakes step by step.
"I don't! I don't!"
Before he could even take a step, someone screamed and backed away. As if he thought of something in a hurry, he jumped down towards the balcony glass.
"boom!"
The glass shattered, and the man seemed to have glimpsed the light. He was lying on the balcony, laughing wildly.
Outside the balcony, it seemed like the normal world they had been waiting for.
There is a door on one side and bottomless darkness on the other. How do you choose? Any fool knows how to choose.
Their footsteps moved, scrambling to move.
Including Li Yihui, their minds were a little ready to move, but when they were about to take steps, they were blocked by a hand.
"do not move."
Shen Lin said indifferently, "Someone wants to die, but he won't stop him, but Li Yihui is Li Meng's father, and he is not unkind to him, so he can't watch him seek death."
"Come here! What are you hesitating about? I really believe that little kid!"
The first person was shouting, but when he saw that Dai Heming and others did nothing, he couldn't help but look at them with contempt.
"a bunch of idiots."
He said so.
The next second, he jumped towards the bottom of the balcony. With this jump, he could escape from this terrifying situation.
Sudden!
The whole world seemed to have its light source turned off, falling directly from light into darkness, a darkness that made it impossible to see even one's fingers.
In the darkness, Shen Lin's eyes emitted a strange light, and he saw everything that ordinary people could not see.
Those were a pair of hands, a pair of withered old hands like the roots of an old tree, as if they would turn into ashes due to decay in the next moment.
He reached out from the darkness and caught the falling guy in mid-air.
"Crack!"
At the clear and crisp voice, the man's eyes widened, as if they were about to bulge out in the next moment. His whole neck no longer had the support of bones, and it hung helplessly aside.
Then the darkness seemed to ripple, and the hand and the person it held disappeared into the darkness and disappeared.
"Huh~"
An inexplicable wind blew by, and the people around them closed their eyes uncontrollably. When they opened them again, the broken balcony returned to its original shape, and the lights of the villa turned on again, as if nothing had happened.
Li Yihui's eyes widened. He glanced at the people around him in disbelief. Half of them were missing. He patted his chest in fear. If Shen Lin hadn't stopped him, he would have been in trouble.
The ability of the ghost realm? Shen Lin pondered.
Fierce ghosts are different, and ghost realms have different abilities.
According to the original work, the main function of Xiao Yang's ghost eyes is to cause hallucinations in people and even ghosts. He has used this trick to achieve surprise victory many times.
The ghost realm of the ghost mother mainly aggravates the invisible characteristics and spatial confusion. Shen Lin has not yet tried whether this is useful for ghosts.
Shen Lin had suffered a lot from peeks and attacks in the thick fog, and he knew very well how powerful this ghost realm was.
He glanced at the ghost candle in his hand. It burned much slower than expected. They could last in this situation for a long time.
"Come on, keep an eye on the surrounding area. We are safe for the time being."
Shen Lin spoke out, they had no choice, they could only move forward.
The sudden accident made these people dare not disobey Shen Lin. They increasingly understood that if they wanted to survive here, they could only rely on this young man.
They had no choice.
The mottled stairs shrouded in darkness were not as wide as expected. The two of them could barely walk while standing together. Shen Lin tentatively stepped around, only to find that it was empty.
The stone steps seemed to be hanging in the air. They tentatively threw down all the extra things, but they didn't even hear a sound.
They didn't know how long they had walked. The road seemed to have no end.
"Let's rest for a while."
Shen Lin said, he was not tired, but he had to worry about the physical strength of this group of people.
The ghost candle has burned 1/3, and everything around him is as usual. Shen Lin is thinking about something. He has the idea of extinguishing the ghost candle. Ghost candles are non-renewable resources and are extremely difficult to make. Wang Xiaoming cannot get a few of them every month. It can't be wasted like this.
They rested for a while and continued walking.
Shen Lin never gave up observing his surroundings, including up, down, left, and right, but all he could see was darkness. He didn't notice anything, and his ghostly eyes were also blinded by this darkness.
"Linzi, the situation is not quite right." Li Meng said. He had always been silent since entering the darkness and rarely spoke.
"What did you find?" Shen Lin asked.
Li Meng scratched his head. He didn't know how to answer this question for a while.
"No, I just don't feel right. I've been walking on this broken road for so long, with nowhere to go and no store. I always feel like there's something wrong."
Shen Lin was convinced and made Li Meng temporarily relieved.
After another unknown length of journey, when the ghost candle was halfway through burning, Shen Lin's expression finally began to turn ferocious.
He reluctantly confirmed one thing, this road has no end.
This is a staircase suspended in the void, like a road to heaven.
How high the sky is and how long it is, mortals can never walk it all.
This ghost was killing their time and thinking of ways to consume the ghost candle.
We can't wait any longer. If we continue like this for ten thousand years, there will be no solution.
Shen Lin planned to extinguish the ghost candle and lure the ghost out.
Survive from death!
After pondering for a long time, he shot at everyone around him.
"To be honest, our current situation is very bad. The ghost's abilities are changeable and the situation is ever-changing. I haven't been able to lock in its rules so far, so I can only rely on trial and error."
"With this candle around, he doesn't dare to get close."
"I will choose to extinguish this candle and lure him to appear, otherwise we may be trapped and die here."
Everything seemed to be cut off in the endless darkness, but everyone felt like they were being blown by a cold wind, followed by panic and confusion.
Dai Henian tried to speak.
"Mr. Shen, we, we can wait a little longer. There will be rescue, for sure!"
They were all people of high status. Outsiders should have noticed something was wrong after being missing for so long. Dai Henian firmly believed that rescue would come.
"First, this is a notice, not a discussion with you."
"Second, you still haven't figured out everything here. If that ghost can make everything in the surveillance camera go as usual, then you can make that villa look like normal in the eyes of others. There will be no rescue, so you'd better annihilate those of yours. Be careful."
Dai Henian broke into a cold sweat, he once again grasped the key point.
What Shen Lin said was not wrong at all. If the ghost could affect everything under surveillance, why couldn't he affect that villa.
Perhaps no one discovered the disappearance of these people at all.
Many people in such lines waiting for rescue felt a sense of despair.
Shen Lin gave Li Meng a wink, and Li Meng understood and pulled his father closer to Shen Lin.
The next moment, the ghost candle was extinguished, and when the green flame disappeared, only the endless darkness and the mottled stone steps emitting scarlet light remained in the entire space.
"call!"
The wind is blowing! Everyone felt it.
It was obviously a cold wind that could chill the heart, but it made everyone sweat on their backs.
They felt threatened by death.
In the darkness, Shen Lin used all his strength to activate the ghost phase, peeping at all this with a pair of dimly glowing eyes.
One second, two seconds, half a minute, two minutes.
As if it was a tug-of-war between time and waiting, the entire space was eerily silent.
coming!
It was an indescribable feeling. Shen Lin immediately spotted the pair of withered old hands. They poked out from the darkness, like a seasoned predator in the jungle, and lightly grabbed the arm of someone in the team. The neck disappeared.
The stone steps were suspended in the air and the team was so crowded that Shen Lin didn't even have time to move.
Everything is so fast, so fast that you can't react.
"I am Cao!"
Li Meng spoke out. He thought he was not afraid of anything after the Ghost Mother incident, but he was still frightened.
what is this? A game of wolf versus sheep? Will he kill everyone here one by one?
The crowd was a little panicked. They were afraid that they would die next moment. Some people even saw the way they came and walked down hastily. They fell into the darkness for only a moment, and no one could see him anymore.
"Don't panic! Don't be confused!"
Shen Lin's low and unquestionable voice sounded. At this moment, he had to stabilize people's hearts.
The crowd stabilized a lot because of these words, but it was just duckweed in the sea, and the boat could capsize at any time.
Shen Lin looked at everything around him with a gloomy face. A hand might appear here at any time and take away the next person's life.
Keep going? Or stay here?
The speed of that hand is too fast and the stone steps are too narrow. If the opponent takes action, it will be difficult for him to ensure the safety of most people.
"Mr. Shen, Mr. Shen, I beg you, please think of a way, I don't want to die, I don't want to die."
Someone was wailing, as if a chain reaction had started, and people around him were wailing at Shen Lin.
In order to survive, they abandoned everything and even started kowtowing on the narrow stone steps.
"Shut up!"
Shen Lin shouted angrily. He was trying his best to stare at everything and not be distracted.
But the ghost stopped moving. They waited for a long time, but there was no movement.
Even Shen Lin was a little impetuous. This dark environment always easily breeds negative emotions.
Walk? Or stay?
Just doing this? Or try an infinite ladder that may exist unknown?
Staying here is tantamount to waiting for death, and climbing the stairs is letting the ghost consume their energy for no reason.
Shen Lin's face became ferocious. As the leader of this team, he needed to make a choice.
Walk!
The moment Shen Lin made his decision, the darkness behind him appeared.
A pair of old hands that are as withered as the bark of an old tree.
Appeared!
